Chapter Index

    The two walked together.

    They turned heads wherever they went.

    After all, Xu Shaochen was handsome and Xie Wei was beautiful. Calling them a perfect couple wouldn’t be an overstatement.

    But what really stood out was Xie Wei.

    Today, Xie Wei wore a white, tight-fitting dress that highlighted her curvaceous figure. The hemline was adorned with a ribbon, and her long legs were wrapped in sheer crystal stockings. On her feet were slender high heels. She looked absolutely stunning.

    Ever since Xu Shaochen took her virginity, Xie Wei had become even more seductive. Her eyes held a hint of allure, and her skin seemed so tender that water might squeeze out.

    Such a magnificent beauty walking on the street—the man who doesn’t take a second look can’t be considered a real man.

    At moments like this, Xu Shaochen couldn’t help but feel a sense of pride. Such a beauty—others could only look from afar, but he could ride her and relish every moment.

    This is the difference between people.

    After dining with Xie Wei at a restaurant, Xu Shaochen made a phone call in advance, instructing Long Yi to bring the car to the restaurant entrance.

    After the meal, he took Xie Wei to see a movie, and then dropped her back at School.

    By the time all this was done, it was already 8:30. Xu Shaochen got in the car and told Long Yi to drive straight to Jiangzhou Grand Hotel.

    Upon arrival, he asked Long Yi and Long Er to wait outside while he stepped out and headed towards the hotel’s entrance.

    He noticed that tonight, luxury cars were particularly abundant at the hotel. Guests were moving in and out constantly, and two young men stood at the entrance, collecting invitations.

    He didn’t think much of it. It was likely just another banquet, nothing to do with him.

    “Good evening, sir. May I see your invitation?”

    As he was about to enter, the two young men at the door stopped him.

    Xu Shaochen was slightly stunned, then explained, “I’m not here for the banquet.”

    “Hahaha, Xu Shaochen, of course you’re not here for the banquet. I bet you’re here to freeload!”

    At that moment, a mocking voice echoed. Li Yang walked over, holding Jiang Siyu close, a sneer on his face.

    Jiang Siyu also sneered at Xu Shaochen, saying, “Who doesn’t know tonight is Mr. Sun’s 70th birthday? The entire Jiangzhou Grand Hotel has been booked. Without an invitation, dreaming of sneaking in to freeload is pure fantasy.”

    “Mr. Sun’s 70th birthday?” Xu Shaochen raised an eyebrow. He thought Sun Yaowen just wanted to thank him with a simple meal.

    It made sense now why Sun Yaowen had specifically instructed him to call when he arrived. It turned out that without an invitation, entry was impossible.

    Seeing Xu Shaochen frown, Li Yang felt a surge of satisfaction. He arrogantly said, “Of course! Freeloading without checking first—is this a place for someone like you? Do you really think you’re worthy of attending Mr. Sun’s birthday banquet?”

    Ever since the last incident at the Taihe Real Estate Sales Office, he hadn’t felt this good in a long time. Finally, he found an opportunity to humiliate Xu Shaochen.

    “Honey, don’t waste time with someone like him. It only lowers our status. Let him enjoy the cold wind outside while we head in,” Jiang Siyu said, clinging to Li Yang’s arm, her voice dripping with disdain.

    “Exactly. It’s a waste of time to deal with someone so low-class.” Li Yang nodded and then waved the invitation in front of Xu Shaochen’s face before handing it to the young man on the right. He sneered, “Make sure you don’t let someone without an invitation in. If someone low-class sneaks into the banquet and causes trouble, you’ll be held responsible.”

    “Yes, yes, don’t worry, Young Master Li. I won’t let him in.”

    The young man on the right respectfully accepted Li Yang’s invitation, then coldly glared at Xu Shaochen. “If you don’t have an invitation, get lost. Do you know what this place is? Do you know who the people inside are? Look at yourself—how dare you show up here?”

    His words were meant to curry favor with Li Yang. Seeing the tension between him and Xu Shaochen, he seized the opportunity to humiliate Xu Shaochen to win Li Yang’s favor.

    Li Yang’s single word could lead to decades of ease for him.

    Watching this unfold, the young man on the left cursed himself in his mind. How could I have been so slow to act, missing out on a chance to curry favor with Li Yang?

    Seeing this, Li Yang and Jiang Siyu paused, watching Xu Shaochen with malicious satisfaction.

    “Didn’t you hear me? Get lost! Don’t make Young Master Li’s eyes sore!” Noticing Li Yang’s attention, the young man on the right grew bolder, pointing directly at Xu Shaochen’s face and cursing loudly.

    Xu Shaochen remained expressionless, quietly observing the young man who was now playing the fool in front of him. Then, without turning his head, he waved his hand.

    Long Yi and Long Er, who had been keeping an eye on him, rushed over. “Boss.”

    Seeing this, the young man on the right suddenly had a bad feeling. Xu Shaochen might not be who he thought he was.

    Li Yang and Jiang Siyu were also slightly shocked. The fact that Xu Shaochen could afford to buy a luxury house had already amazed them. Now, he even had bodyguards following him.

    How could a poor guy suddenly turn his life around? “Smack his mouth. I don’t want him to have a single tooth left.”

    Xu Shaochen pointed at the young man on the right, his voice icy. If he couldn’t speak properly, then what was the point of keeping his mouth?

    “Yes, boss.”

    Long Yi and Long Er nodded and restrained the young man on the right.

    “What are you doing? What do you two think you’re doing? I’m part of the Sun family! Do you know the consequences of hitting me? Let go of me!”

    The young man on the right turned pale, struggling violently as he kept shouting.

    “Slap!”

    But the only response he got was one slap after another. In no time, his face was swollen and bruised, with teeth flying out, and his lips torn and bloody.

    “Ah! Stop, please stop! I’m sorry! I won’t dare again!”

    The young man kept screaming and begging for mercy, but Long Yi and Long Er didn’t spare him at all. They wouldn’t stop until all his teeth were gone.

    As for the young man on the left, he was drenched in cold sweat, feeling incredibly lucky. Thankfully, he was a beat slower, or he would have been in the same horrible situation.

    “Now then, you tell me—can I go in?”

    Xu Shaochen asked the young man on the left in a calm, indifferent tone.

    “Sir… please, go ahead.”

    The young man on the left shivered and quickly bowed, making a gesture for Xu Shaochen to enter, not daring to meet his gaze.

    Xu Shaochen smiled faintly, then looked at Li Yang and Jiang Siyu, saying, “Actually, this proves you don’t always need an invitation. There are other, simpler ways to get in—don’t you think?”
