Chapter 703: Chapter 359: Hoodwink_2 Chapter 703: Chapter 359: Hoodwink_2 She suppressed the urge to make a sound—one mont she soared to the clouds, the next she plumted from them. This repulsive man was like an indefatigable ox, leaving her utterly exhausted.
But the inevitable was coming.
The next evening, Fan Xiaoyu drove a Porsche 911, bringing Liu Wentian to the Du Family’s manor in the suburbs.
The manor was vast, complete with artificial hills, fountains, green belts, and sculpted lawns—a clear display of the Du Family’s wealth.
Outside the manor, luxury cars gathered as if there were an auto show.
In a place like Songchang City, which wasn’t very developed, such a scene only underscored how many upper-class individuals from Songchang had co to attend Old Master Du’s birthday feast!
Fan Xiaoyu looked at these luxury cars, her expression growing even tenser.
It felt like a veritable Feast at Hong Gate; the other party had opened its gaping maw, waiting for them to walk right in.
After parking the car, the two entered the manor and were t by soone who led the way. About ten minutes later, they arrived at the banquet hall.
By this ti, the hall was already bustling with guests, all chatting and laughing rrily.
These people, both n and won, were dressed ticulously, displaying elegant and composed manners, obviously none were ordinary folks.
The person who had led them here left, and soon a woman dressed like a waitress ca over, gestured for them to follow, and respectfully said to Fan Xiaoyu, “Miss Fan, please follow this way, both of you.”
“You know ??” Fan Xiaoyu asked the decent-looking woman with so puzzlent.
“Yes, you are an important guest tonight. Master Du has instructed us,” the woman replied with a smile.
After speaking, she proceeded to lead the way.
Seeing this, Fan Xiaoyu couldn’t help feeling even more anxious, as if the enemy had already set a trap, just waiting for them to jump in.
“Heh, don’t be afraid. I actually want to see what kind of tricks this old guy is playing!” Liu Wentian said with a smile, taking Fan Xiaoyu’s hand and following the woman.
Following the waitress, Fan Xiaoyu’s beauty drew the attention of many n along the way.
Soon, they were brought to a large table.
The table was large, and about ten people were already seated around it, among whom were Fan Xiaoyu’s second aunt and younger aunt!!
Indeed, so people are like lingering spirits! Liu Wentian thought to himself.
Seeing these two individuals, Fan Xiaoyu’s expression soured, and she considered switching tables, but upon noticing a few other people, she froze in shock.
“Jingling, Wen, how co you are here??” Fan Xiaoyu exclaid in surprise.
Apart from her two aunts, the others were childhood friends she had grown up with, especially Mu Jingling and Xie Wen, who used to be her close girlfriends.
However, as they grew older, everyone had their own lives, and they had lost touch. She hadn’t expected to et them here today, all seated at the sa table!
Mu Jingling, petite and sweet-looking, said to Fan Xiaoyu with a giggle, “Fan the beauty, it’s been so long! Co, sit down. We’ve all missed you.”
Xie Wen, an average-looking woman, also laughed and said, “Yes, Fan the beauty, we haven’t seen each other for so long. Co, sit down and let’s catch up.”
The others were also warmly inviting her to sit down, their smiles showing the joy of seeing an old friend.
Back in junior high, Fan Xiaoyu had been strikingly beautiful, attracting a lot of attention. In her third year of junior high, a high school boy even ca into her class to confess his love for her, leaving her flustered and bewildered as she hastily declined.
Thereafter, nobody knew who started it, but she was nicknad the “Beauty of Class 37.”
Encountering these old friends, Fan Xiaoyu naturally found it difficult to leave. She also missed these old friends and thus, took Liu Wentian and sat down with them.
At the sa ti, she bashfully said, “What ‘beauty’ nonsense, stop teasing .”
“Haha, Xiaoyu, you’re known as a beauty in Songchang City. The title ‘Fan the beauty’ is well-deserved,” Mu Jingling responded with a few chuckles, then turned to look at Liu Wentian and said, “Xiaoyu, is this the boyfriend you found in Shenming City? I heard that his family is quite wealthy?”
Xie Wen said with a chuckle, “A man should rely on his own abilities, not his family’s wealth.”
Fan Xiaoyu furrowed her brows slightly, feeling that these two forr girlfriends seed to be targeting Liu Wentian.
Fan Xiaoyu’s aunts both smiled silently, as if waiting to watch the drama unfold.
“Hey, handso, hello. Can I ask what your family does?” Mu Jingling said, batting her flirtatious eyes at Liu Wentian.
“No, you can’t. I don’t want to say,” Liu Wentian replied.
“Uh…” Mu Jingling was taken aback by Liu Wentian’s bluntness. Her smile imdiately froze, her face turned displeased, and she said, “What’s wrong with you? Why are you so rude? You don’t have a gentleman’s manners at all!”
“Seriously, no class at all! Xiaoyu, I don’t think much of this guy!” Xie Wen also expressed her disdain for Liu Wentian.
Fan Xiaoyu’s face instantly turned cold. If she couldn’t see at this point that these two were deliberately causing trouble for Liu Wentian, then all her years in society would have been in vain!
“Class? Do I need to be polite to people who are causing trouble for money?” Liu Wentian said with a hint of mockery, his gaze sweeping over the faces at the table.
Instantly, the expressions of those around the table stiffened, and those with thinner skins started feeling awkward.
“Hey, what do you an? What’s this about money? You’re talking nonsense!” Mu Jingling’s face showed alarm and indignation, as she loudly exclaid.
