Because of his vantage point, Zhang Shaohua could only see Zhao Ruyue in the crowd, but not the man beside her.
He did not know that the man was Zhou Yu.
Zhu Xiangjun added, "Young Master Zhang, you may not know this, but someone just brazenly put his arm around Doctor Zhao's waist. He did this in front of all the young masters of Yunhai City, truly infuriating!"
He spoke the truth, without exaggeration.
Even if Zhang Shaohua found out the truth later, he could still wash his hands of the matter.
After sobering up, Zhu Xiangjun's mind had become much sharper.
"Someone dares to take liberties with Doctor Zhao at the Maple Leaf Club?"
Hearing this explosive news, even Zhang Shaohua was slightly surprised.
The patrons who dined and conducted business at the Maple Leaf Club were basically influential figures in Yunhai City, or at the very least, descendants of prominent families.
Did this person want to die by taking liberties with Zhao Ruyue in such a place?
Zhang Shaohua had never liked the assertive Zhao Ruyue, thinking she lacked femininity.
He preferred Su Yuyan's type.
But he had to admit that Zhao Ruyue was as popular among many young masters as Su Yuyan was!
Anyone who acted inappropriately towards her was bound to incite public outrage.
Could someone really be that foolish?
Thinking this, Zhang Shaohua began to doubt Zhu Xiangjun's words.
"Young Master Zhang, that fellow is a martial artist. Ordinary people are no match for him, which is why he is so arrogant," Zhu Xiangjun explained.
He was still stating facts.
However.
When Zhang Shaohua's friends heard this, they all chuckled.
A martial artist?
No matter how skilled, could a martial artist compare to the martial arts experts funded by the Zhang family?
They knew that the Zhang family had an Elder Zhong, whose martial arts realm was unfathomably profound.
This was one of the reasons they were willing to associate with Zhang Shaohua.
"Oh? A martial artist, then I'd like to see him."
Zhang Shaohua chuckled dismissively and then said to his friends behind him, "Let's go, everyone. Let's go and meet this martial artist."
Technically, he was hosting a dinner party today and didn't want to bother with minor figures like Zhu Xiangjun.
But since something like this had happened.
And with so many young masters from prominent families present.
Zhang Shaohua figured that by teaching that audacious scoundrel a lesson, his image among the young masters would be further elevated.
The Zhang family was in a prime position to rise and surpass the Jin family. It would be a pity to waste this opportunity to shine.
Therefore, he decided to intervene.
If this were in the past, Zhang Shaohua would never have paid attention to Zhu Xiangjun.
He didn't like Zhao Ruyue anyway.
"Hahaha... A martial artist? I think he's just an ordinary martial arts practitioner at best."
"He's unlucky today to have run into us."
"Young Master Zhang is hosting dinner today, and this kid almost ruined the mood. It wouldn't be right if he didn't suffer a bit."
Zhang Shaohua's friends chimed in one after another, following behind him.
They associated with him.
But they all understood clearly that the Zhang family would become powerful in the future, and they would still rely on them.
Therefore, Zhang Shaohua had become their leader.
These people willingly walked behind Zhang Shaohua, following his lead.
"You brat, let's see how arrogant you can be now!"
Seeing that Zhang Shaohua was willing to help, Zhu Xiangjun was overjoyed.
This made his earlier flattery worthwhile.
And so.
The group strode mightily towards that direction.
The young masters who had previously retreated in fear of Zhou Yu's power, upon seeing that Zhu Xiangjun had invited Zhang Shaohua, all rekindled their hopes.
This time, they had backup!
Zhang Shaohua, the eldest young master of the Zhang family, one of Yunhai City's top families, and the young master of Zhang's Group.
Who among them didn't know and recognize him?
With this prominent figure present today, that kid who had taken liberties with their goddess would surely be begging for mercy!
Everyone could almost imagine the scene of Zhou Yu groveling on the ground, begging for mercy.
"Young Master Zhang, this way please."
Zhu Xiangjun bowed and apologized, walking beside them, not daring to walk ahead of Zhang Shaohua or take the main position, while also making the onlookers move back. "Everyone, please make way. Young Master Zhang of the Zhang family has arrived. Let him be our arbiter and teach that kid a good lesson!"
"Young Master Zhang!"
"Young Master Zhang!"
"Young Master Zhang!"
The surrounding young masters greeted him.
After all, among them, no one could compare to the current Zhang Shaohua.
Not only was he the young master of a top family, but he had also become a new member of the Dragon Group last night and was about to undergo training.
Facing the fawning of the people around him, Zhang Shaohua merely nodded slightly, saying nothing.
His status was extraordinary, and he naturally could not converse with everyone he met.
"Young Master Zhang gives off a powerful aura. Perhaps this is the demeanor of a new member of the Dragon Group."
"No! It's also the power and status bestowed upon him by the Zhang family!"
"I wish I could be born into a top family too."
"You can reincarnate as Young Master Zhang's son."
Some people further back, whose status and position were not as high as those in front, could only watch as others greeted Zhang Shaohua.
Power was fully demonstrated at such moments.
Because their family backgrounds were not as good as others, they could only stand at the back and watch.
Sometimes, not only marriage required compatibility, but even flattering required a certain family background.
"Young Master Zhang, it's this kid! Not only did he forcefully take liberties with Doctor Zhao, but he also broke the arm of a kind person!"
Zhu Xiangjun led Zhang Shaohua and his group to Zhao Ruyue, puffing up with borrowed authority.
He looked condescendingly at the man beside Zhao Ruyue.
His gaze was full of contempt.
As if to say: I have Young Master Zhang backing me, kid, you'll pay later!
However, Zhou Yu's back was to them, and he had been looking at a painting on the wall, unmoved.
Zhang Shaohua, staring at his back, still did not recognize him.
"Kid, are you scared silly? So you're pretending to stare at that painting."
"None of us here recognize him. I think he's not a young master from any family, or perhaps he's not even from Yunhai."
"Even if he's a scion of a Yunhai family, he can't compare to Young Master Zhang, unless his surname is Jin."
"There's no one like that in the Jin family."
Seeing that Zhou Yu was still putting on a brave front after Zhang Shaohua's appearance, the surrounding people couldn't help but mock him.
In their opinion, the latter must have been intimidated by Young Master Zhang's status.
They all speculated that the person's expression at this moment must be quite dramatic.
After all, this was Yunhai's brightest rising star, Zhang Shaohua!
One of the new members of the Dragon Group personally chosen by the Cold Snow Female War God!
No one dared to challenge him in Yunhai.
"Oh no, why is he here too?"
Seeing Zhang Shaohua, Zhao Ruyue also broke out in a cold sweat for Zhou Yu.
She knew that the eldest young master of the Zhang family had been pursuing Su Yuyan, but Su Yuyan had already registered her marriage with Zhou Yu.
Rivals meet, and their animosity intensifies!
