Shen Yuan suddenly walked over with someone who seemed to be their age, around thirty. He looked good, but slightly bland, so he appeared worse among all the handsome men gathered together. The other party wore a pair of glasses, making him seem very gentle.
Shen Yuan deliberately introduced him to them all, so he was definitely not an ordinary person.
"This is Gu Ping, a relative from my grandma's family."
His surname was Gu? Could it be the Gu family?
There were many families with the surname Gu in the Imperial Capital, but only one Gu family could be considered worthy. The Gu family was engaged in biomedicine, but quite differently than how Shenghui Pharmaceutical was. This familyâs business was made up of big projects that were all linked to national matters, which meant that the Gu family had the backing of the government.
As soon as Shen Yuan spoke, everyone finally knew the reason why he had suddenly held this party. It had to be related to his grandma and Gu Ping.
Although Gu Ping was a member of the Gu family, he did not hold enough weight in his family to casually mingle with them all. Before everyone could respond, he spoke first. His attitude and tone was relatively easy-going and approachable â he had probably investigated all their identities beforehand. Each of them could be considered famous in their own right. When it was Chu Yifeng's turn, he paused in an obvious manner, then smiled and stretched out his hand.
"Young Master Chu, Iâve long admired your name."Â
With his words, the people around them slowly calmed down. Those who had wanted to find out Chu Yifeng's identity finally learned who he was after hearing his greeting. Some people gave curious expressions; the infamous Chu Yifeng unexpectedly appeared here?
Someone immediately took out their phone and prepared to take a photo. They didnât dare spread it around, but they could keep it to themselves. If they saw him again in the future, they might be able to introduce themselves to him. However, after taking the photo, they found that the light in their box was a bit dark, and since Chu Yifeng was also sitting in a dark corner, only a faint shadow could be seen in the photoâŠ
Chu Yifeng didn't shake hands with him, but just responded to his greeting. His attitude was very arrogant.
However, Gu Ping didn't seem embarrassed, and naturally retracted his hand while keeping a smile on his face. Shen Yuan also didn't say anything, and just took him to meet other people.
For some reason, Wang Cheng didn't like that person very much; he got the feeling that the other party was putting on an act. He touched his full belly. After a few glasses of wine, he suddenly had to go to the bathroom. They had come over soon after dinner and he hadnât been to the toilet since. \nChu Yifeng understood when he saw him touch his stomach, and whispered: "Let's go together?"
Wang Cheng thought he wanted to use the bathroom as well and agreed.
As soon as the two stood up, everyone's eyes naturally fell on them. When Wang Cheng informed Zheng Jingen, he seemed to have a trace of helplessness in his eyes, as if asking why they had to go to the toilet together.
Naturally, Wang Cheng didn't see that from his gaze. After the two left, the atmosphere in the box became lively again.
When they arrived at the bathroom, Wang Cheng attempted to open the door, but found that it couldn't be opened. It seemed to be locked from inside.
"What's the matter?" Chu Yifeng walked over.
"Someone locked the door."
There was no sign for cleaning at the door, so it was impossible for the cleaner to be inside. The only possibility was that a person who had entered the bathroom locked the door. At that moment, a burst of angry cursing sounded before something was kicked over, and then the man began cursing again. It seemed as if he was trying to hit someone.
Chu Yifeng took a step back, then raised his foot and kicked the door open with a strong force. The people inside were startled by the loud noise, and the man's cursing stopped abruptly.
"Big brother?" Wang Cheng glanced inward. When he saw the person standing further inside, his eyes instantly became as big as brass bells. The one being scolded was Wang Ning'an, his own big brother. Wang Ning'an had been wearing an expression of disgust, which switched to surprise because of seeing him there.
"Chengcheng, why are youâŠ" Wang Ning'an's noticed Chu Yifeng and wasnât so surprised anymore. He didn't expect there to be such a coincidence â thanks to them, he didnât have to get involved in more trouble with the other man.
The man who had been cursing him was a bad middle-aged man with a beer belly and a chubby face. He looked particularly wretched with his lust-crazed eyes. He had thought they were people coming to use the bathroom, but they turned out to be people Wang Ningâan knew. Realizing he couldnât beat them all, he immediately shouted in a fierce manner: "Who are you, do you know who I am? If you dare to ruin my good thing*, Iâll show you whatâs good. If you understand, get out."
[T/N: a gift from a superior force, a blessing]
Wang Cheng walked up and kicked him over.
The bald man screamed. The momentum of his fat body hitting the ground was great, and he laid curled up on the ground, unable to get up at first. Wang Chengâs continued kicking, showing no mercy. Even when the bald man almost vomited out his internal organs, Wang Cheng didnât feel satisfied. If he hadnât come there today, who knew what couldâve happened. \n"You want to show me whatâs good? Who are you, daring to start things with my elder brother? Iâll take your life before you can even try a thing with him." Wang Cheng stomped on the bald man's hand with a stern expression.
The bald man began to howl in pain, and quickly begged for mercy.
Seeing that Chu Yifeng didn't take the initiative to stop him, Wang Ningâan grabbed Wang Cheng's arm. "There is no need to get your hands dirty for such a person. Let's get out of here."
A group of people who heard the commotion soon came and gathered the doorway. However, their gazes were blocked by Chu Yifeng's tall figure and they werenât able to see the specific situation inside. A waiter hurried to inform the manager of The Concubine. Most guests of The Concubine were people of status. If something happened to these guests, things would be difficult for The Concubine.
By the time The Concubine's manager rushed over, only the bald man was left in the bathroom. As he was carried out, the bald man kept clamoring that he would show those people what was good for them.
Wang Cheng didnât care what The Concubine did with this matter. If that bald man did not come to them to settle accounts, he would go show him what was good himself. He dared to try things with his family? He would not be called Wang Cheng unless he knocked him down.
Wang Cheng and Chu Yifeng took Wang Ning'an to their box, returning from the bathroom with an extra person. Because of Chu Yifeng, Wang Ning'an received attention.
When Gu Ping saw that Zheng Jingen had an unusual attitude towards this person, he silently placed him on the list of people that he could not afford to offend or flatter. He found a chance to come over, but no information of his identity was revealed to him. Instead, it was Zheng Jingen who said that Wang Ning'an was his friend.
Luo Sheng, Shen Yuan and others knew that Wang Ningâan was Wang Chengâs eldest brother, and had somehow appeared here. Something must have happened when Wang Cheng had gone out, because Wang Chengâs mood was a bit off when he came back, as if he was angry. Soon, Shen Yuan knew what happened.
The Concubineâs manager suddenly came, so as the owner of the box, Shen Yuan went out for a while.
After the bald man was beaten by Wang Cheng, he was very unreconciled and threatened to find the person who beat him. In order to soothe the emotions of the guests, the manager of The Concubine agreed to check things out. This investigation revealed that the person who beat him was from Young Master Shen's box.
There was no need to continue pursuing this. The Concubineâs manager thoughtfully told the bald man that he could not afford to offend the person who beat him. If he wanted to continue living, he should go home and see if he could find connections in order to escape the catastrophe. As a result, the bald man didn't believe the manager and said that he was covering up for them.
Since the other party was deliberately looking for death, The Concubine's manager could no longer stop him and brought him over. Wang Cheng didn't even need to come forward, Shen Yuan alone was enough to cause the other party to run away.
Inside, Wang Cheng was also asking Wang Ning'an about this matter.
\nShen Yuan didn't convince them to stay either. It was already respectful enough for them to keep their promise and come.
Zheng Jingen and Luo Sheng also left afterwards. However, there was someone who arrived quite late. This person was Jiang Xuan. It wasn't that he didn't want to give Shen Yuan face; when Shen Yuan first invited him, Jiang Xuan had already told him that he was busy with family matters and could only come later.
The people Gu Ping wanted to connect with most were Chu Yifeng and Zheng Jingen, so he couldnât help but feel regret when he saw that they were both gone. However, after seeing that Shen Yuan had a good attitude towards Jiang Xuan, he thought that Jiang Xuanâs identity was also special. He then deliberately talked to him, thinking of inquiring about his identity. He thought he had concealed his intentions well, and didn't know that Jiang Xuan could see through him at a glance.
Jiang Xuan didn't have much interest in such a person. He quickly told the other party what he wanted to know. Gu Ping soon lost interest in him and changed positions.
Shen Yuan handed him a glass of wine.
Jiang Xuan shook his head, saying that he still had to drive so he couldn't drink.
Shen Yuan didnât push it.
Jiang Xuan glanced at Gu Ping, who was busy networking with others, and spoke up in a somber manner: "Shen Shao has good intentions."
Shen Yuan understood what he was saying and meaningfully glanced at Gu Ping. He brought the wine glass in his hand to his mouth. Before he took a sip, his lips twitched slightly.
"What the hellâŠâŠ"
Jiang Xuan had not sat for long when he received Yuan Xia's call. Shen Yuan irritably waved his hand at him before he could even speak.
"Okay, okay, I get it, you have to leave. Hurry up, once youâre out of sight this matter will be out of my mind."
Before Jiang Xuan heard him say this, he hadnât planned to leave. Yuan Xia's phone call wasnât urging him back. However, he really didn't want to stay in such a place for too long, so he went along with his words and left.
The empty and lonely Shen Yuan decided to go out and hunt for a beauty.
