Zheng Zeyu?
Hearing this name, Bai Yurou froze slightly.
She knew who this person was—the only son of the Zheng family, one of the Four Great Families of Moon City, and the future heir of the Zheng family.
Moon City had Four Great Families: the Bai family, the Liu family, the Qiao family, and the Zheng family.
Although the Bai family was the head of the four, it was also the youngest among them.
Her father Bai Yuan had started from scratch and forced his way through a path of blood in the Moon City where powerful families stood in great numbers.
In just a few short years he had pushed the Bai family to the position of the number one family.
The Liu family had been the former number one family of Moon City.
From the time Bai Yuan started his business they had been mortal enemies, always wanting to strangle the Bai family in its cradle, yet they had never gotten their wish.
A few weeks ago, for reasons unknown, the Bai family that had never actively attacked decided to wage full-scale war against the Liu family.
Under the leadership of her older brother Bai Sihan and her father Bai Yuan, the Liu family enterprises were quickly acquired by the Bai family.
Several important family members were thrown into prison, leaving only one daughter whose whereabouts were unknown.
The former one of the Four Great Families could also be considered existing in name only.
The Qiao family was the Bai family’s most loyal ally.
The previous family head of the Qiao family had been Bai Yuan’s benefactor and had helped quite a bit in the early stages of the Bai family’s entrepreneurship.
The relationship between the two families had always been good.
The younger generation had also played together since childhood.
The eldest son of the Qiao family, Qiao Yunchen, was the childhood friend of Bai Yurou’s older brother Bai Sihan, and was also an important business partner of her older brother in the commercial world now.
When Bai Yurou was little she had also been very good childhood friends with the young miss of the Qiao family of the same age, Qiao Yunmeng, and they often played together.
It was just that later Qiao Yunmeng had gone to Europe early to study music abroad.
The two of them had not seen each other for a long time, but every holiday they would still send each other gifts to express blessings.
As for the Zheng family, it was the one among the Four Great Families with the longest history, and also the most mysterious.
The Zheng family had always maintained neutrality in the struggles among the powerful families.
They had decent relationships with both the Bai family and the Liu family, and never actively engaged in commercial wars with other powerful families, always properly operating their own industries.
Therefore the Zheng family had always had good connections among the powerful families.
Moreover the Zheng family had always been passed down in a single line.
Each generation only had one son. It was said that this was the reason they had not fallen for so many years.
There were rumors that the current heir Zheng Zeyu had once had a younger brother.
It was just that in order to avoid future brotherly strife and the division of family property, that child had been abandoned only a few months after birth.
However this was only a rumor. No one knew whether it was true or false.
In the circle of powerful families, Bai Yurou had seen Zheng Zeyu at powerful family gatherings when she was little, but it was only to the degree of mutual recognition.
Among this group of young masters and young misses of the powerful families, Bai Yurou only had a relatively decent relationship with that pair of siblings from the Qiao family.
Zheng Zeyu stood on the stage.
His white shirt was tucked into his dress pants, the sleeves rolled up to his forearms.
His figure was tall and slender, his features clean.
When he smiled his brows and eyes relaxed, carrying a few parts of approachability, unlike the cold-faced young masters of the powerful families.
“Still playing or not?”
Seeing Bai Yurou holding her phone and not reacting for a long time, Cai Xiaotong urged with a sentence.
“Playing.”
Bai Yurou was also too lazy to think about Zheng Zeyu’s matters. It had nothing to do with her either.
Right now playing the game was more important.
As she thought this, she tapped ready, and the two of them started another match.
However the other people didn’t think the same way.
“Senior Zheng is so handsome.”
“Is this the bearing of a powerful family?”
“He’s so cheerful. I want to pursue him.”
On the other side, Ning Mu also froze for a moment when she saw Zheng Zeyu.
This was captured by Bai Yurou beside her who had finished selecting her hero.
“Mu Mu, have you taken a liking to Senior Zheng?”
Bai Yurou instantly felt a sense of crisis. She had originally wanted to probe with a teasing tone, but the moment the words left her mouth, even she herself could hear the stiffness.
“No.”
Ning Mu shook her head.
“Really not?”
Bai Yurou was still a little uneasy.
“Alright, Rou Rou, stop joking.”
Ning Mu’s tone was very light.
“In this world there is already no boy who can make me like him.”
Because the Lin Ye she liked had already left.
Just now when she saw Zheng Zeyu and froze for a moment it was only because this boy’s appearance…
On the other side, however, Bai Yurou heard a different meaning.
Mu Mu doesn’t like boys? Doesn’t that mean she originally likes girls?
When I lived together with her as her older brother for so many years I never discovered that my little sister was actually a lesbian.
So as expected, Lin Ye’s liking was only unrequited love?
Bai Yurou lightly sighed for her past self, then didn’t think more and shifted her gaze back to the game.
After all she was Bai Yurou now. Lin Ye was already dead.
Right now she only wanted to stay by Ning Mu’s side as a good best friend and make up for the regret of Lin Ye not being able to accompany her.
Zheng Zeyu’s speech was witty and humorous, much better than the hypnotic speeches of the principal and the previous few leaders.
At the very least it made people have the desire to continue listening.
Even Bai Yurou, whose mind had been floating in the canyon the whole time, occasionally pricked up her ears and listened to a few sentences.
She recalled that when she participated in powerful family gatherings as a child, this person also seemed able to gather the young masters of other small powerful families together and, using his outgoing personality and unique personal charm, become their leader.
It was a completely different style from her older brother Bai Sihan’s ice-faced, cold, and domineering CEO aura that made people not dare to approach.
***
In this match of Bai Yurou and Cai Xiaotong, their teammates were all normal people.
Under the tacit coordination of the two of them, they also successfully led their teammates to seize victory.
At this time on the speaking stage, Zheng Zeyu had long finished his speech.
The opening ceremony also seemed to have entered its final stage.
“How about we stop playing?”
Cai Xiaotong felt that the remaining time didn’t seem enough to start another match.
When the time came and it ended it would be military training. If the instructor saw the two of them playing on their phones, they might be treated as the ones sticking their heads out.
“Alright.” Bai Yurou also deeply understood Cai Xiaotong’s concerns and nodded.
Thus both of them put away their phones, preparing to endure the last bit of time of the opening ceremony.
Sure enough, in less than five minutes, the principal announced the end of the ceremony. The tense military training stage then began.
Their class’s instructor also walked over. She was a young woman in her early twenties with an upright posture.
She claimed her surname was Zhang, a graduate of the police academy, and said that her age wasn’t much different from the freshmen’s, so everyone could directly call her “Sister Zhang.”
Sister Zhang then directed everyone to stack the stools properly and then form ranks to gather.
Bai Yurou took this opportunity to find her medical records and the leave form the counselor had issued from her bag and handed them all over to Sister Zhang together.
Congenital heart disease?
After Sister Zhang finished looking at the contents on the medical records, she raised her head to look at this petite yet unusually pretty girl in front of her.
Her tone gentled a few degrees.
“Alright then, Classmate Bai Yurou. During military training later, you can directly return to the dorm. However, if your body can still hold up, I suggest you sit under the big tree to rest and watch us train. After all you are also a member of our class.”
“Alright.” Bai Yurou obediently nodded. Anyway it wasn’t particularly hot right now.
The big tree could still provide shade, and accompanying her roommates here was pretty good too.
Then Bai Yurou sat under the big tree beside them, from where she could just see their class’s training.
Class assistant Du Yuxuan was already sitting there.
Seeing her come over, she smiled and waved toward her.
