Several guests were constantly coming over to propose a toast.
After paying respect to the director, they did the same to Gu Qichen.
Of course, today was Xia Yangyang’s wrap-up party, so she was naturally the event’s protagonist.
Even though Xia Yangyang was substituting alcohol with juice, she felt a little full after a while.
Midway through the banquet,
Gu Qichen stood up and said, “I have a few friends here today. I’m going to take Yangyang to meet them.”
Xia Yangyang followed Gu Qichen out, curiously asking, “Who are these friends you’re taking me to meet?”
Gu Qichen explained, “It’s Mu Liancheng’s birthday today, he’s holding a small banquet here. I ran into him when I came in, it wouldn’t be right not to greet him. This way, you’ll get to meet them too.”
Xia Yangyang was indeed familiar with Mu Liancheng.
He was part of one of the four big families of Feng City.
These four families—Gu Family, Lin Family, Mu Family, Shen Family—had business interactions with each other, and their intricate interest relationships have been interwoven since their previous generations.
The Mu Family often became a topic during their idle chats.
Mu Liancheng was the sole third-generation member of the Mu Family.
With few descendants, the Mu Family was largely sustained by the Old Lady, who singlehandedly controlled a massive family fortune.
The Old Lady’s sole wish was to have a great-grandson as soon as possible to proliferate the Mu lineage.
So, it was said that she had raised a daughter-in-law since childhood for Liancheng, who was forced to marry her as soon as they came of age and travel abroad.
However, young Master Mu despised his homegrown daughter-in-law and never disclosed their marriage to the public.
He was always causing a fuss about wanting a divorce.
The problem was, the petite daughter-in-law would do nothing more than agree to an amicable split. Their relationship was continuously fraught with disagreements and conflicts.
Yet, despite being two years, the divorce hadn’t occurred.
Curiosity lit within Xia Yangyang, “If it’s young Master Liancheng’s birthday party, will his mythical homegrown daughter-in-law be present?”
Gu Qichen replied, “We’ll have to wait and see.”
Accompanying Gu Qichen, Xia Yangyang passed through several water corridors and finally entered the most extravagant suite at the eastern end of the venue.
This was probably the most refined and peaceful place in the Lanting Water Village.
Upon entering, the lively atmosphere in the room hit her.
There were about seven or eight men in the room.
Of course, every man had a stunning woman by his side.
Taking a closer look, weren’t those women famous actresses?
Zhang Lixin had just starred as the female lead in Director Feng’s new film, making her one of the renowned Feng’s Girls, with her fame skyrocketing.
Bai Zhi was notoriously dubbed the “Fairy Sister” in the entertainment industry, known for her demure and refined screen image, and had countless diehard fans.
And Mi Ke had just participated in the Victoria’s Secret Show in Paris, which had greatly increased her popularity and worth…
Many other familiar faces from the entertainment world were there. Xia Yangyang couldn’t believe she saw them all in one place.
They obviously had finished eating. Some were playing billiards, some were lounging on couches rolling dice, and some were singing karaoke.
Bai Zhi, who always maintained herself as purer than a white lotus, was sitting coquettishly on a man’s lap, “Young Master Xue, my hand slipped. Could you give me another chance?”
The man known as Young Master Xue, teasingly said with a sly smile, “You were the one who wanted to play this game of Jenga. We agreed whoever causes the first collapse has to remove an article of clothing. No reneging, start undressing.”
Reluctantly, Bai Zhi took off her small lace shawl, revealing a skimpy tank top.
After undressing, she lightly pounded her fists against Young Master Xue’s chest, “You lack any pity for me.”
Xue’s deep laughter echoed as he responded, “Continue, I must account for each layer of your clothing today”.
“You’re so rotten!”
Xia Yangyang stood at the entrance, shocked by the scene unfolding within the
room…
