Chapter 974: Ball (3)
Mr. Goodman also noticed Zhai Yunsheng.
He walked over to his daughter and asked her: “Is that the Young Master of the Zhai family?”
His words had a bit of disdain to them.
After all, in the eyes of the Goodman family, the Zhai family did not mean much.
“Father, can we choose to cooperate with the Zhai family instead of destroying them?” Lucy once again pleaded with her father.
“Impossible,” Mr. Goodman decisively rejected his daughter’s proposal. “Lucy, you must understand that this plan is incredibly important to us. Settling for the next best alternative will make the Goodman family elders think that we are useless.”
Upon hearing this, Lucy lowered her eyes. A flash of pain and hesitation appeared on her face.
Mr. Goodman continued to speak to his daughter: “Lucy, you must remain clear-headed. There are so many guys in the world. As long as you hold the power of the Goodman family, you can choose whoever you want.”
Lucy was unable to refute her father’s words.
As a result, she could only choose to believe in her father.
“I understand. I won’t ruin your plans.”
“That’s good,” Mr. Goodman said. “In the past, I thought the Zhai family and the Qin family were powerful and influential. However, it appears as though their young masters are just brats with little experience in business and society. Well, let’s go and meet Zhai Yunsheng.”
As he said this, Mr. Goodman walked towards Zhai Yunsheng.
It just so happened that the song came to an end. And thus, Jian Yiling and Zhai Yunsheng stopped dancing.
“Young Master Zhai,” Mr. Goodman greeted with a smile on his face. Then, he extended his hand to shake hands with Zhai Yunsheng.
However, Zhai Yunsheng merely looked at Mr. Goodman’s outstretched hand. He did not reach out to shake his hand.
Upon seeing this, the smile on Mr. Goodman’s face instantly disappeared.
“Oh? Is this the so-called upbringing of the Zhai family?”
After all, the Zhai family was insignificant when compared with the Goodman family! It was an honor for Zhai Yunsheng to shake his hands. How dare he disrespect him?
“Well, we don’t need to be polite to everyone.”
“Young Master Zhai is quite arrogant.”
“I’ve always been arrogant. You just don’t know about it,” Zhai Yunsheng replied with a smile on his face. It appeared as though he had no intentions of respecting Mr. Goodman.
Upon hearing this, Lucy frowned. When she visited Zhai Yunsheng, he had merely been indifferent. He hadn’t acted this hostile towards her.
However, if Zhai Yunsheng acted like this, he would anger her father. And if her father was angered, he could do anything!
Mr. Goodman grunted coldly and was about to say something.
At this moment, Mr. Goodman’s subordinate ran in and whispered a few words into his ear.
As soon as he heard these words, Mr. Goodman’s expression immediately changed.
He hurriedly turned his head and walked towards the entrance. It was as though he was about to greet someone important.
Upon seeing this, everyone else at the ball became quite curious. Why was Mr. Goodman so nervous?
Not long after, an old man was invited into the hall by Mr. Goodman.
Who was this old man and why did Mr. Goodman respect him so much?
After all, Mr. Goodman came from the Goodman family. It was already one of the most powerful and influential families in the world. For him to respect such a person, this old man must have an extraordinary identity.
And thus, everyone looked at the old man with respect.
After entering, the old man walked straight over to Zhai Yunsheng and Jian Yiling.
“Young Master Zhai, it’s been a while,” the old man said. He took the initiative to greet Zhai Yunsheng with enthusiasm.
“Long time no see,” Zhai Yunsheng replied as he shook hands with the old man.
It appeared as though the two of them were very familiar with each other.
This interaction made everyone else incredibly curious and confused. A surprised expression even appeared on Mr. Goodman’s face.
