Lu Rugao casually said, "I don’t know why, but lately the Jin Family has been quite active, especially in Capital City. I wonder what makes them so confident."
"Let’s deflate their arrogance today," Chen Xiao said with a light tone, although there was a trace of coldness in it. After all, he liked to tease Lu Rugao verbally but deep down he respected her. Jin Zilong dared to ss with his woman, wasn’t that provoking the gods?
"Alright, let’s go in," Luo Qingli said.
Ye Hongyi was also looking forward to the event. Over the years, she had amassed a lot of wealth and had a top-tier intelligence system by running the Hundred Flowers Pavilion, but she rarely appeared in public.
She seldom attends such business gatherings.
The hotel lobby had already beco extrely lively.
A sea of people.
Famous figures who knew each other moved seamlessly through the crowd, chatting and clinking their glasses together, thoroughly enjoying themselves.
Of course, most of them were acquainted, sitting together at tables, privately discussing others, and if interested in getting to know soone, they’d go over and strike up a conversation.
Chen Xiao led the ladies inward.
"Lu Rugao, the Lu Family heiress!"
"And the Su Family’s eldest daughter!"
"Who are those people walking with them?"
"Luo Qingli from Luo Group, Zhang Yaqing from Zongheng Chamber of Comrce, Lu Wushuang from Wushuang Corporation... not sure about the woman in red, and as for the guy... if I’m right, he’s the one who went to war with the Lu Family before..."
Hearing this, people in attendance showed strange expressions.
Before, Chen Xiao had attacked the high-and-mighty Lu Family using Luo Group as his interdiary, forcing them to beg for rcy — this wasn’t a secret in the circles.
Even Lu Rugao disappeared for months.
Rumor has it...
She went to atone to Chen Xiao.
Logically, the two sides should be arch-enemies now, so how co this Lu Family heiress is walking with Chen Xiao? What’s going on?
"Damn, makes people envious. What kind of stroke of luck did this guy have to have so many beauties around him? If he offered one, let live in a mansion and drive a luxury car, I’d gladly accept!" said a young man, depressed, pouring a drink into his mouth.
"If you’re jealous, why don’t you chat them up and take those won for yourself?" A woman nearby coldly mocked him.
The young man instinctively withdrew; he didn’t have the guts for that.
He’d heard of the ti three High-ranked Guests of the Lu Family suffered a great loss under Chen Xiao’s hands.
Even given a hundred guts, he wouldn’t dare provoke him.
From the mont Chen Xiao’s group entered, they beca the focal point of everyone’s attention.
Lu Rugao and Su Linger were figures akin to a pyramid in Capital City’s business circle.
Luo Qingli and Zhang Yaqing were rising stars in the business world, basking in the glory of their success.
And Chen Xiao, was even more mysterious.
Besides the Five Great Families of Capital City, there probably weren’t many willing to challenge him.
Chen Xiao and the others didn’t mind the odd gazes from the crowd.
They casually picked a table and sat down.
Chen Xiao stuck to his usual style — sitting and eating right away, eyes scanning the room for any beauties.
Yet, one glance around the room made him realize that things were lively around the Yang Country and Eagle Country delegations. Several people eagerly approached those delegations, acting like lackeys.
There were even several provocatively dressed socialites sitting beside the Eagle Country delegation, flirtatiously making themselves appealing, eyes full of lust.
One blonde man had won on each arm, looking smug.
Lu Rugao snorted, "Such a disgrace, throwing themselves at others without any self-respect! These spineless people grovel at the sight of foreigners, born lackeys!"
As a Divine Land woman, she hated such self-deprecating foreign-lover behavior.
And as a woman, especially one with independent thoughts and a distinct personality, she found those won who couldn’t close their legs at the sight of foreign n utterly contemptible.
Of course, she had no problem with normal social interactions but was vehently against shalessly throwing oneself at strangers in a way that worships foreigners.
She detested it from the bottom of her heart.
Zhang Yaqing chuckled, "They lack self-esteem and self-respect, behaving shalessly, thinking being fancied by these foreigners makes them superior, while unaware they are rely considered playthings."
"I’ve dealt with so foreigners before; they often spoke crudely and seed repulsive, many believing our Shenzhou won were easy and cheap, which simply stems from certain groups creating that impression."
No doubt, at such an upscale event, this kind of wild behavior was looked down upon not only by Chen Xiao’s group but by anyone with a sense of national pride.
Even more absurdly, they even noticed people groveling at the Yang Country delegation, making one gasp in disbelief.
"Who organized this event?"
"Tang Jianfeng, the second young master of the Tang Family," Lu Rugao replied.
"It’s him, huh," Chen Xiao smirked, "Seems that guy’s asking for trouble."
At that mont, another group of people entered from outside.
Leading them was Xin Huan.
In such a setting, Xin Huan had tucked away his playboy persona, dressed sharply in a suit, appearing quite suave.
Zhang Yaqing and the others showed slightly peculiar expressions.
Unexpectedly eting this man here was indeed a case of narrow escape with old enemies.
As soon as Xin Huan entered, many approached to chat.
After all, the Xin Family was a super clan in Huaxi, in the larger Divine Land context, second only to the Five Clans of Capital City!
Most importantly!
Xin Huan’s mother was a Tang Family mber, the current Tang Family Patriarch’s daughter, and Xin Huan was the Patriarch’s direct grandson. These dual statuses allowed Xin Huan to sit atop the food chain of this gathering!
Getting acquainted with Xin could potentially lead to rising aspirations.
However, despite being the center of attention, Xin Huan looked gloomier rather than joyful, still vexed over getting played by those two won earlier today!
He, Young Master Xin, had never suffered such humiliation!
"Our Young Master Huan is in a bad mood, please feel free to continue!"
A few lackeys next to Xin Huan diplomatically dismissed the guests.
Xin Huan wandered inside listlessly.
Suddenly, a stamring lackey beside him piped up, "Young Master Huan, I... I think I’ve spotted so of them!"
"So of them?" Xin Huan impatiently asked, "Don’t bother ."
Frustrated and hormonally driven today, he was humiliated by those two won — a disgraceful affair!
He was in a foul mood.
"They are those people who tricked you at the airport today!"
Upon hearing this, Xin Huan’s body noticeably tensed.
