    [Big Boss Chapter 27] Fight for it

    The banquet for Dashuai Zhang to marry his fifth concubine was very grand. All the famous officials and wealthy businessmen in Zhili received invitations. Many people secretly speculated that Dashuai Zhang must be in love with his fifth concubine to the extreme.

    “Zhang Chong probably wants to take this opportunity to win over some people,” Yan Zhan was analyzing with Chu Jiao in the car on the way to the banquet, “He has been in Jin for too long and is no longer satisfied with just one-third of an acre…”

    “Then what’s the use of him coming to Zhili?” Chu Jiao wondered, “Zhili is your world.”

    Yan Zhan smiled because of the girl’s trust in his ability.

    “You can’t say that,” he pinched the girl’s knuckles and played with it. “Although Zhili is under my rule, the concession is a mixed bag, and the forces of various countries are competing, trying to use this as a breakthrough to go straight to Peking.”

    “Is it possible for him to marry Du Xiruo…” Chu Jiao opened her eyes wide, “Is it all for a purpose?”

    After being reminded by Chu Jiao, Yan Zhan had already ordered people to secretly investigate Du Shourong and the Du Family Theater, and by now he had learned all about them.

    “It’s not impossible,” he nodded, “Although Zhang Chong is lustful, he can become the leader of a warlord, and he is not someone who can get carried away by beauty.”

    “He must have other plans for marrying Du Xiruo at this juncture! Maybe he also knows the news about Long Niu like the Japanese.”

    Chu Jiao touched her chin.

    Having said that, the heroine is still a bit miserable… I wonder if she knows that she is just a small pawn in a chess game.

    But things in this world are like a fish drinking water, knowing whether it is warm or cold.

    Chu Jiao held Yan Zhan’s hand and walked into the banquet hall.

    Since the heroine made such a decision herself, she must be prepared to bear the consequences.

    Just like her.

    “Shuai Zhang, congratulations on your wedding.”

    Adjutant Li handed over the congratulations, and Yan Zhan greeted the smiling groom.

    “Dudu Yan, thank you very much!”

    Zhang Chong was wearing a bright red Tang shirt, and his face was radiant. Next to him stood Du Xiruo in a water-red cheongsam, wearing heavy makeup, and his face was instantly bright and moving.

    After Zhang Chong exchanged greetings with Yan Zhan, his eyes lit up when he saw a young woman wearing a tapestry brocade cheongsam next to Yan Zhan, “I wonder who this is…?”

    “My fiancée.” Yan Zhan said calmly, but raised his hand to hug Chu Jiao’s waist, as if to declare his sovereignty.

    “Ah haha, you really are a talented man and a beautiful woman! A talented man and a beautiful woman!”

    Zhang Chong also hugged Du Xiruo beside him, as if he wanted to compete with Yan Zhan.

    After a few words of praise, he asked people to introduce Chu Jiao and Yan Zhan into the hall.

    “Why, didn’t I feed you?” Zhang Chong turned his head and found that his concubine was staring at Yan Zhan’s retreating back, and his face immediately fell.

    “How could it be possible~” Du Xiruo came back to his senses and said with a smile.She snuggled her body into Zhang Chong’s arms, her eyebrows lowered, but her expression could not be seen clearly.

    “You shouldn’t be wearing this.”

    Yan Zhan lowered his head, tugged on the slit skirt that exposed the girl’s thighs whenever she walked, and spoke in a low voice.

    “You specially made it for me, why shouldn’t I wear it?” Chu Jiao felt that she dressed up well with the man today.

    Both of them were wearing black dresses. Although Yan Zhan wore a white shirt and a black suit that remained unchanged forever, her cheongsam and the pearl jewelry Yan’s mother specially sent from the southwest looked like a perfect match.

    “I…”

    Seeing people who wanted to say hello come to him one after another, Yan Zhan swallowed back what he wanted to say, “I just want you to wear it for me to see.”

    As the head of Zhili, Yan Zhan is always surrounded by crowds no matter what kind of banquet he attends.This is one of the reasons why he is reluctant to participate in social activities.

    Chu Jiao very cruelly left Yan Zhan alone to receive compliments and entertainment, and slipped away to eat alone.

    The banquet is the most popular “buffet dinner” at the moment. Each guest holds a plate and chooses what to eat.Chu Jiao calmly selected a few pieces of dessert, planning to find a secluded place to fill her stomach.

    “Miss Chu, the mud is very floating today.”

    Chu Jiao was eating cake when a male voice with an awkward pronunciation suddenly came from behind her.

    Chu Jiao turned around and narrowed her eyes slightly.

    The visitor was Yoshida Hideaki, the Japanese commander in Zhili. He was holding a glass of red wine and toasting to Chu Jiao.

    Chu Jiao calmly swallowed the food in her mouth, picked up the glass with juice on the side, and moistened her throat.

    “Thank you for the compliment, Mr. Yoshida.”

    “So Miss Chu actually met me? What an honor.”

    Hideaki Yoshida stared at the girl with fair skin and attractive red lips in front of him, and couldn’t help but swallowed.

    “I still like to visit the Japanese Concession.” Some small handicraft shops there are quite nice to wander around.

    Chu Jiao complimented her tactfully, and Hideaki Yoshida smiled brightly: “If Miss Chu likes it, I can accompany you next time to introduce to you the culture of our Empire of Japan…”

    “Hey, let’s see,” Chu Jiao put down the cup, “I’m going to the bathroom. Excuse me.”

    She didn’t want to waste time chatting with this little green-eyed Japanese.

    Hideaki Yoshida watched Chu Jiao’s graceful figure turn into the corridor, and someone approached him.

    “Master Yoshida seems to like Miss Chu very much…”

    “Don’t you have a saying in China…what’s it called…’fair lady, gentleman…junzi’…”

    “A gentleman is so kind.”

    “Yes, that’s it. Miss Chu and Miss Du are both beauties, and I, Yoshida, also appreciate beauties.”

    “Haha, it’s a pity, I’m already married,” the man smiled sweetly, “but…Miss Chu is not Governor Yan’s wife now, doesn’t Mr. Yoshida fight for it for himself?”

    “Oh? Fight for it? How to fight for it?”
