章 198: The Birthday Banquet

編集者: EndlessFantasy Translation

The Yao family was one of the richest families, so they only had a limited number of invitations. Those who could attend the birthday banquet were all from influential families.

It was the beginning of October. The weather was pleasant, and the garden was filled with the fragrance of flowers. The guests were dressed and holding wine glasses in their hands as they flattered each other in the garden.

There were many journalists gathered outside the Yao family's main manor. They did not have any invitation cards, so they could only wait at the entrance. However, they did not stay idle and quietly took photos of the guests getting out of their cars.

Thirty minutes ago, Yao Zizhou arrived at the banquet. He was dressed in a tailored suit, and his handsome face and tall posture made him the brightest star in the crowd. Everyone stopped talking and stared at him.

Yao Ziyang is calling Cheng Sanjin a "brother" out of polite courtesy. The Chinese have a flexible way of using "brother" or "sister" to address people. In this case, the character used carries the meaning "older brother" (gē). You can address not only a blood relative as "brother", but even friends those close to you, family friends, etc. One could even call someone younger an "older brother" as a term of respect because they have more authority.
