Li Xiaoyao had never felt so relaxed before; he and Lan Cai strolled the streets, ate food, and when drinking milk tea, they shared a single straw. When they saw beautiful scenery, they would put their heads together for a selfie, almost indistinguishable from a real couple.
As night fell, Li Xiaoyao took her to the street food district to eat.
For the first ti, Lan Cai discovered just how delicious street food could be.
After their late-night snack, Li Xiaoyao continued to drive her to the bar, Gone with the Wind.
"Tonight, I'm going to indulge to the fullest," Lan Cai said loudly, clutching Li Xiaoyao's hand, like a happy butterfly, as she ran into the bar.
...
Ling City International Airport.
A plane landed at the airport, and ten minutes later, nearly thirty young n dressed in high-end clothing walked out.
"Yo, Young Master Wang is here too," said a man with glasses, looking very scholarly, with a frivolous smile.
"If you can co, why can't I?" retorted Young Master Wang.
At the sa ti, other young n also recognized familiar faces, but no matter whether they knew each other or not, today, they were destined to be rivals.
They had co to Ling City with the sa goal.
To propose to Lan Cai!
Lan Cai's ancestral ho was in Jindu, where the Lan Family owned a vast industry.
However, in recent years, the various companies under the Lan Family's control had perford very poorly, even after several changes, the losses could not be stemd.
This ti, Lan Cai's return ho was in response to her family's wishes, to arrange a marriage with the Zheng Family of Jindu in hopes of a substantial capital injection to help the Lan Family through these tough tis.
Lan Cai was known as one of Jindu's four talented ladies, admired by countless wealthy heirs; however, she had no interest in them.
Yet, for her family's sake, she had to marry a man she did not like.
This is the sorrow of won born into big families, an inevitable sorrow.
When Lan Cai returned this ti, she even rebelled. Standing in front of her grandfather and many elders, she once boasted, "Give five years, and I will definitely lead the Lan Family out of adversity!"
But no one believed her, because she was a woman.
"Where is Cai'er now?" one of the suitors asked.
Imdiately, another suitor was annoyed, "Is Cai'er soone you can call familiarly?"
"There's no point in arguing here. We all ca to Ling City with the sa purpose. If that's the case, then let's all rely on our own strength to see who can win the beauty in the end."
"It's definitely going to be , Wang Zhiming. Only I am worthy of Cai'er!" declared a handso young man confidently.
Soone sneered, "Your Wang Family's assets add up to just over a billion. Do you think Cai'er would be interested in you?"
"Hmph, Liu Bijin, how much better is your Liu Family compared to mine?"
"You guys keep arguing; I'm going to see my Cai'er," said one suitor, glancing at his phone with a smug smile, as he walked out of the airport and got into the luxury car already waiting for him.
Seeing this, the others quickly took out their phones, starting to inquire about Lan Cai's current whereabouts.
anwhile, in a luxurious villa in Jindu.
A young and handso man sat on a sofa.
Next to him was a middle-aged man in his forties.
Sitting next to the middle-aged man was an old man with white hair, dressed in a grey robe, his white hair reaching his shoulders, emanating the aura of a cultivator.
"Fengfeng, tone it down a bit recently, don't ss around with those young actresses. It won't look good if the Lan Family finds out," the middle-aged man advised softly, furrowing his brows.
If Li Xiaoyao were here, he would have recognized the young man at a glance. It was Zheng Fengfeng, who, not long ago, had a conflict with him at the bar called Chaos and Beauty. Only after Mr. Huo gifted Chaos and Beauty to Li Xiaoyao did Zheng Fengfeng escape a beating.
"Dad, do you really need to take the Lan Family so seriously? They're practically finished. Even if I play around with won right in front of Lan Cai, she has to grit her teeth and endure it," said Zheng Fengfeng nonchalantly.
Zheng Fengfeng's father is Zheng Bihui, the current Head of the Zheng Family of Jindu, controlling a vast fortune of tens of billions.
"A centipede dies but never falls down," Zheng Bihui lit up a cigar and said, "Even if the Lan Family is in decline, they're not soone the average person can provoke. This marriage alliance is an opportunity for the Zheng Family. If handled well, our family's assets could increase several tis over."
Zheng Fengfeng curled his lip: "What do we need so much money for? The money we have now is enough for several generations of the Zheng Family."
"Lack of ambition," Zheng Bihui huffed in annoyance at his son's lack of aspiration.
An elderly man with white hair suddenly chuckled, "Bihui, don't be too hard on Fengfeng, he's just not cut out for business. Why not let him try cultivation with ?"
Upon hearing this, Zheng Fengfeng instantly deflated and said, "Grandpa Yang, please leave be, I can't handle that kind of hardship."
The white-haired elder asked, "Don't you want to be a respected martial artist?"
Zheng Fengfeng shook his head like a rattle-drum, "I'm quite good as I am now, still respected by people."
The white-haired elder shook his head, resigned, "You child..."

Zheng Fengfeng's eyes darted around before he said, "Grandpa Yang, the last ti I went to Ling City, I encountered a martial artist."
The white-haired elder exclaid in surprise, asking, "How did you co across him?"
Zheng Fengfeng then recounted the encounter, and after listening, the white-haired elder's brow furrowed with concern as he said gravely, "You offended him?"
Zheng Fengfeng had never seen Grandpa Yang so serious and couldn't help feeling nervous. "It was him who took my spot first."
The white-haired elder sighed, "Fengfeng, rember, money isn't everything in this world. When you're out and about, never offend martial artists or cultivators, for you are just an ordinary person. If you anger them and they kill you, even your grandfather can't bring you back to life."
These words left Zheng Fengfeng filled with fear.
He was accustod to arrogance and used to assert himself with violence against anyone who dared to confront him.
Who could have thought that martial artists, rarely seen in daily life, would show up in a bar?
The white-haired elder pondered for a mont then said, "In the next few days, grandpa will accompany you to Ling City to et that martial artist. If there's a chance, we'll bring him over to the Zheng Family."
Zheng Fengfeng was extrely reluctant, but knowing the high status of the white-haired elder in the Zheng Family, he didn't dare to object and could only nod ekly, "Alright."
...
At Chaos and Beauty, attractive young n and won constantly entered and exited, with couples occasionally erging from the bar intimately embracing each other.
"Vroom vroom~"
The sound of a sports car engine echoed from the alley entrance. In just a few seconds, a bright yellow Maybach pulled up at the entrance of the bar.
These deluxe sports cars attracted the eyes of many young girls.
There were plenty of rich patrons and sports cars at Chaos and Beauty, so the young girls rely glanced at them before looking away.
But the next second, the sound of another sports car revved up.
A red Ferrari pulled up.
Before people could lift their heads to look clearly, the sound of another sports car followed.
In just a short few tens of seconds, more than twenty luxury sports cars of various colors had gathered at the entrance of Chaos and Beauty.
This scene, reminiscent of a car show, drew the attention of passersby one after another.
