On the other hand, while Gu Pojun looked at Xie Feng surrounded by beauties from left to right, he suddenly felt a fire growing inside him.
Bang!
Gu Pojun again banged the table so hard that if the table could talk, it would surely be complaining to him.
"Nonsense!" he roared. Then, he staggered to his feet and pointed his finger at Xie Feng as he glared at him with eyes full of anger.
However, Gu Pojun's next words caused everyone's eyes to widen.
"Even I can't enjoy such treatment! What right do you have to be able to be hugged by two beauties at the same time!"
Xie Yao: "..."
Gu Qianxue: "..."
Xie Feng: "..."
The three of them gaped, stupefied.
Xie Feng felt like shouting out loud: "That was your problem!?"
However, while Xie Feng and the two beauties were stunned and almost fell to the ground in surprise, while Gu Pojun was gasping with indignation and his hand still pointing at Xie Feng was trembling slightly, there was one person who had a completely different reaction from the four of them.
This person was Fang Yanran, Gu Qianxue's mother and Gu Pojun's wife.
From the first moment Fang Yanran heard her husband's words, she felt that she was going mad with anger. Her whole body shuddered as if she was vibrating frenetically and her fists gripped tight.... However, she endured. After taking a deep breath, Fang Yanran smiled kindly and looked at Xie Feng and the two girls:
"Shouldn't you three prepare yourselves? It is currently 6 o'clock in the evening and the Yao girl's birthday banquet starts at 8 pm. You'd better get ready."
Xie Feng came out of his daze and nodded easily, as did Xie Yao. But Gu Qianxue's and Gu Pojun's reaction was different.... Although Fang Yanran was acting very calm, like her closest family, they both noticed that she was furious.
"*Cough*... I'd better get ready too." Gu Pojun cleared his throat as he lowered his hand and nodded with a serious expression. Then, without waiting for anyone's response, he began to walk away silently.
However...
Swoosh!
Several dark-colored chains came out of Fang Yanran's shadow and bound Gu Pojun in place, not letting him take another step. Xie Feng was surprised! He never thought that Fang Yanran was actually a skill user! But more importantly, it was actually a strange power that he had never seen!
"Honey, we can arrive a little bit later.... For now, I have to talk about something very very important with you." Fang Yanran's voice was the only thing that could be heard inside the living room.
Gu Qianxue made a smirk while Gu Pojun's body shuddered fiercely as if he had heard the devil's whisper in his ear.
"Beloved wife... We'd better talk later, don't you think?" He talked in such a meek tone that he sounded like a small boy about to burst into tears.
"I said we need to talk." Fang Yanran pointed out. Then she looked at Xie Feng and said in a tone of voice that brooked no refusals, "And what are you standing there for? Didn't you listen to me?"
"*Cough*... Qianxue, Yaoyao, let's go. We have things to do." Xie Feng coughed uncomfortably and grabbed both beauties. Before leaving the living room, he gave Gu Pojun one last pitying look.
"F for you." Xie Feng uttered final words before disappearing from the scene.
Soon, the previously quiet Gu Family home was filled with cries of pain from a man and angry roars from a lioness.
* * *
7:30 at night, in the Yao Family's manor.
The place where the Yao Family's ancestral home was a very beautiful place near the southern area, in the center of Beijing. Today, at the outer gate through which one had to pass to reach the center of the forest currently illuminated by all kinds of colored lights, there was a long line of cars tirelessly entering the normally private residence.
In the center of the immense forest, there was a mansion several kilometers wide that belonged only to the main family, that was, Yao Xiyu and his family. However, there were also all sorts of villas in which Yao Mei's cousins and uncles lived, and any form of entertainment that could be imagined could also be found within the grounds. There were even several celebrity chefs gathered from all over the world who had come especially today to prepare the dishes for the birthday banquet.
The place even had its own small airstrip. To be able to have something like that, there weren't many people like that in China.
The people who were invited here tonight were either incredibly wealthy people or people who were high officials. It was no exaggeration to say that almost all the people with power in the capital city were gathered here and there were countless people who traveled from far away. These powerful people were not just ordinary powerful people. In terms of finance, those people worth several a few hundred million might be embarrassed to come.
However, there was a group of people who were the exception; Yao Mei's college classmates. Although Yao Mei had practically no dialogue with anyone and spent most of her time alone, it did not stop many people from approaching her whenever the opportunity came up... After all, Yao Mei was not only very intelligent, but also very beautiful.
"Who would have thought that little Yao Mei actually lived in this luxurious place!" An 18 years old girl who looked innocent and ordinary said excitedly as she looked at the incredible decorations along the way.
Although the people able to study at a prestigious university like Beijing University were elites, they were just elites among the students and that was all.... Many of them came from normal families so it was impossible for them to know Yao Mei's true identity as the only daughter of one of the most powerful families in the country.
"Don't make such a fuss over nothing, Ma Lili.... It's just not bad." A girl in her early 20s wearing a red dress with sparkling sequins that left her back exposed nodded casually. She was incredibly beautiful and the simplicity of her classmates seemed to highlight her beauty even more.
"Oh! For a moment we forgot that our goddess Mu Yin was at Buckingham Palace when she visited London the year before!" Said a young man of about 18 years of medium height.
Actually, the 20 years old girl who had spoken earlier was Mu Yin; a member of the Mu Family, cousin of Mu Wuying, and ranked as the seventh greatest beauty on Samsara Online! She would also be considered the capital's greatest beauty if it weren't for Mu Wuying's otherworldly beauty. However, her college classmates didn't know too much about her, except that she seemed to come from a prominent family.
"Well. Although the structure can't compare to Buckingham Palace where the British monarch lives, it doesn't lack too much except for the size." A handsome young man of about 17, wearing a classy suit commented.
The young man's name was Lin Tian. The Lin family was one of the top twenty families in the capital and also possessed great political power which, although it could not be compared against the top five families, could not be underestimated. Lin Tian was only 17 years old this year but had already started his university studies after skipping two grades. He was also the only one among those present who knew the true status of Mu Yin and Yao Mei.
Of course, Lin Tian only knew that Yao Mei was a member of the Yao Family.... But he did not know how powerful she was. In fact, Lin Tian didn't have enough status within his family to know the existence of skill users.
"Lin Tian, are you still chasing Yao Mei?" Mu Yin suddenly asked.
Lin Tian smiled softly and nodded, "Of course, I promised to make her my wife. What I, Lin Tian intend to have, always falls into my hands. It's only a matter of time before the Ice Queen of Beijing University agrees to date me."
The girls who came in the group blushed at his smile and couldn't help but nod. If it were them, they would have already thrown themselves into his arms, so they unconsciously grouped Yao Mei into the group that would fall for Lin Tian. After all, he possessed looks, status, money, etc....
"You should leave it." Mu Yin frowned and advised.
Lin Tian did not respond and the group continued to move forward in silence.
Actually, everyone knew that Mu Yin was interested in Lin Tian; therefore everyone, including Lin Tian, thought that she was jealous and trying to get his attention. However, the reason why Mu Yin advised Lin Tian, other than her liking for him, was because although her status in the Mu Family could not compare to Mu Wuying's, she knew about the skill users because she herself was one.... Therefore, she also knew about how terrifyingly powerful Yao Mei was and from Mu Yin's point of view, it was impossible for Lin Tian to courting her.
As the group of college students approached the gates of the mansion, a four-door Audi A10 sedan pulled into the parking lot. Although the Audi A10 was a luxury car, the group of students did not have much reaction due to the number of much more luxurious cars they had seen on their way here.
An extremely handsome man in his 20s got out of the driver's seat, causing all the girls in the group to gasp. Unconsciously, they compared Lin Tian with this young man and immediately realized that Lin Tian could not even compete.
Even Mu Yin had a strange sparkle in her eyes.
After getting down from the driver's seat, the young man opened the back door of the car and two beautiful women got out and took all the men's breath away.
Both beauties had jet black hair, but while one had it tied up, the other had it completely loose and flowing freely down her back.
The beauty whose hair was tied up with a phoenix hairpin wore a deep sky blue dress with a long cut on one side, revealing a milk-white leg as shiny as the stars. Her seductive body made a great contrast with her face that appeared innocent and pure.
On the other hand, the beauty with flowing hair was wearing a white dress that accentuated every part of her body. This beauty's body was just as seductive as the previous beauty's, however, the amazing thing was that her aura seemed so holy and sacred that no one dared to have any ill thoughts towards her.
The male members of the student group as well as the female members of the group were surprised to see the newcomers, wondering who they might be.
