Tangled Webs of Braxton Chapter 7

The venue for the birthday party was arranged according to Lennox Lu's preferences, and the invited guests were all wealthy and prominent figures in City A.

In order to ensure that Braxton Bai's good mood is not disturbed, the banquet declined interviews from newspapers and reporters.

Before Braxton Bai's parents passed away, the Bai family was at its peak.

The aristocratic family that had been passed down for hundreds of years withstood the flames of war in troubled times, but was nearly destroyed by a group of in-laws who wanted to wipe out the family.

Young Master Bai, who was born into a noble family, was born and raised to be the successor of his family.

If his parents and elders were still alive, they would never allow him to live under the surveillance and control of a man. Even for such a small matter as studying abroad to pursue his dreams, they would have to be cautious and considerate of Lennox Lu's emotions.

The Bai Group is the legacy left by his parents, and he should get back the ownership rights.

"Of course, why don't you look happy?"

Lennox Lu poked his cheek lightly, straightened his collar, and said, "So many guests are looking at you, smile."

Glancing at Lennox Lu's happy expression, Braxton Bai puffed up his cheeks, "I have to smile at everyone I see, and my face is almost stiff. I don't even know them, and I don't want to fake a smile in front of them."

During the conversation, Zander Zhou approached with a glass of wine and pressed Braxton Bai's thin shoulders with a "pop".

"Don't force yourself when you're tired. It's troublesome to deal with the world. Brother Lu, you can deal with the guests by yourself. I'll take him to the lounge to sit for a while."

After saying that, Zander Zhou held Braxton Bai's collar with one hand, trying to abduct him.

"Wait..." Lennox Lu did not express his opinion, but held Zander Zhou's hand firmly and forcibly took it away from the boy.

As if he could see that Lennox Lu was afraid of him, Zhou Yi sneered coldly.

"Why bother? I won't do anything to him. At least I can promise that I won't bully him secretly without your permission."

After all, it is a toy that belongs to the three of them, and it is a taboo to monopolize it.

His lies might be able to fool Braxton Bai, but Lennox Lu didn't believe them.

Zander Zhou had ill intentions towards Ranran half a year ago. Leaving the two of them alone is like walking into a tiger's mouth!

"Brother Lu, how many years have we known each other, and yet we don't even have this bit of trust between brothers?" Zander Zhou's expression was clearly smiling, but it felt as cold and scary as an ice cave.

The Zhou and Lu families are family friends, and their elders have a deep relationship. Not only are they partners in business, but they also go to each other's homes for New Year's Eve dinner during holidays.

Having known each other for many years, they should have been close brothers, but in fact Zander Zhou hated Lennox Lu a little.

Because of the good relationship between the two families, relatives, friends and elders have always compared them as long as they can remember.

Zander Zhou is an upright and wealthy young master, the only child of his family.

Lennox Lu is an illegitimate son with a shady identity. His mother died young and he grew up with the cold eyes of his father and brother.

But even though he enjoyed resources and education that were 10,000 times better than Lennox Lu's, Zander Zhou always lost one step behind him.

Occasionally Zander Zhou would get stuck in a rut.

He thought that there must be a chance in this life where he would defeat Lennox Lu gloriously!

"Brother Lu, you are his guardian, not his biological father. Besides, I am not a bad person, so there is no need to be so wary of me. I, Zander Zhou, have always been clear in my conscience."

Brothers for many years, Lennox Lu didn't want to break up.

He turned around and asked Braxton Bai, "Ranran, if you are really tired of dealing with guests, or if you are not feeling well, don't force yourself."

Braxton Bai was still in a daze. He didn't understand why the atmosphere became cold when the two of them had a disagreement.

He obviously didn't do anything, and he hadn't even started to provoke them.

Braxton Bai had a vague intuition that the real relationship between these two people must not be as harmonious and beautiful as it seemed on the surface.

On second thought, Lennox Lu was very sensitive about talking about the private matters of his family and friends, and he was tight-lipped. He would definitely not tell himself the secrets in his heart.

Let’s just start with Zander Zhou first.

Braxton Bai focused his gaze on Zander Zhou's face beside him and looked at him carefully.

This guy doesn't look serious, he looks easy to fool.

After careful consideration, Braxton Bai smiled at Zander Zhou, frowned slightly and pretended to be pitiful, "Brother Zander Zhou, I may have accidentally caught a cold last night. I don't feel well. Please take me to the lounge to rest for a while."

Looking up into the man's eyes pitifully, Braxton Bai took the initiative to hold his hand.

"Okay." Zander Zhou responded softly, gently holding the boy's hand tighter, and leading him away like coaxing a child.

Watching the young man's back gradually walking away, Lennox Lu felt annoyed for no reason.

On one side is a vicious wolf who covets his treasure in the name of brotherhood, and on the other side is a little fool who is ignorant and completely defenseless against people.

Is it really okay to leave them alone?

In the end, Lennox Lu felt uneasy and found Fletcher Fu, who was sitting in the corner of the banquet drinking.

Fletcher Fu is a wild and freedom-loving person. He likes to wear black shirts, but he always leaves the two buttons in front of the collar open, with the collar turned outward.

Normally when I go out I have to hug the person I am serving, but today I am not interested in it and I am drinking alone in silence.

Those who didn’t know thought he was broken in love.

"Fletcher Fu, Yi Han just took Ran Ran away. I can't leave at the banquet, so go and help me keep an eye on them and make sure nothing goes wrong."

After raising his head and drinking up the wine in the glass, Fletcher Fu placed the glass heavily on the table.

"Master Bai likes you, so you should be the one protecting him. You also know that Braxton Bai is timid and afraid of me. He will just stay away from me when he sees me."

The implication is that he doesn't want to join in the fun, and is more comfortable staying alone.

Lennox Lu was anxious and said in a deep voice, "I can give up my position as chairman of the Bai Group, but I brought him up, and I will not allow anyone to hurt him. If Zander Zhou dares to touch him, The bond between us three brothers is over."

Fletcher Fu is a tough guy, no one can force him to do something he doesn't want to do.

But he also values   friendship and loyalty.

After a long stalemate, Fletcher Fu stood up and said something inexplicable to Lennox Lu as he passed by.

"If you really care about him so much, why did you hesitate when I said I wanted to kill him that day? Zander Zhou was foolish enough to sleep with him, but you didn't say anything to stop him. I thought you were looking forward to playing with him."

We were supposed to play together as three people, but Lennox Lu ended up wanting to do pure love?

The worst thing is that after Fletcher Fu was scratched by a cat and had his wound bandaged, he dramatically started to have evil thoughts.

Seeing how sweet and ambiguous Lennox Lu and Bai Yi were, and how affectionate they were, he didn't know where to direct the anger in his heart.

"Crazy, you are all playing tricks on me." After complaining, Fletcher Fu was still annoyed and left the place quickly while holding back his anger.

The door to the lounge was ajar, and there were intermittent noises coming from inside.

"Um...Brother Yi Han, don't." The boy's voice sounded very resisted, and his words were not clear.

"Bang!" Fletcher Fu, who was already in a bad mood, kicked the door open.
