Ch 80: Nan Liu And Bai Wangshu
Because it was Wang Bufan, the eldest son and Family Head of the Wang Family, engagement banquet, the Wang Family Villa was filled with bodyguards in black suits.
The security measures were top-notch.
Invited powerful figures all had to verify their identities and present invitations before being allowed entry.
At the main entrance of the villa, a man and a woman were arguing with the bodyguards guarding the gate.
“I have an invitation, and it’s not fake, why can’t you let me and my boyfriend in?”
The woman, wearing a red formal dress, clung tightly to the arm of a man in a cheap suit, speaking to the bodyguards guarding the gate.
“Sorry, Miss, your invitation only allows one person to enter, not two.”
The bodyguards in black remained cold and emotionless.
“But my boyfriend is with me!” Bai Wangshu, wearing a red dress, argued her case.
“Miss, this invitation only allows one person to enter the banquet, you cannot bring anyone else. I am not targeting you; this applies to everyone.”
The bodyguard said expressionlessly.
The powerful figures entering the villa also cast contemptuous glances, some whispering among themselves.
“That’s Bai Wangshu, the daughter of the Bai Family, right? I heard that the Xia Family has fallen on hard times, and it seems to be true; at a royal banquet, she could only get one invitation.”
“Who says it isn’t? The Bai Family was once very prosperous, but now… it has completely become a small family.”
“I heard Bai Wangshu fell in love with a poor boy and is willing to break with her family to be with him? Is it the boy next to her?”
“Yeah, he looks pretty, a gigolo.”
Hearing the whispers, Bai Wangshu felt unprecedented embarrassment.
The man next to Bai Wangshu, Nan Liu, also looked awkward.
Nan Liu shook his head and said: “Wangshu, forget it, with my status, I am not worthy of attending this banquet, I’ll go.”
Nan Liu’s eyes were full of dejection, and he was about to leave.
Nan Liu was just an ordinary boy from a common family; how could he expect to attend a banquet for Magic City’s top tycoons?
“Nan Liu, if you leave, I’ll leave too!”
Bai Wangshu glared at the bodyguard angrily, turned around and caught up with Nan Liu, holding his arm.
Bai Wangshu wanted to leave with Nan Liu, but he stopped her.
“Uncle Bai went to great lengths to get this invitation; this is a rare opportunity for the Bai Family!”
“There are many powerful figures inside, all of whom could be resources for the Bai Family in the future. You must attend this banquet!”
Nan Liu said seriously.
“But… A’Liu, I want to be with you!” Bai Wangshu reluctantly pulled on Nan Liu’s arm.
“It’s okay, I’ll wait for you outside.” Nan Liu smiled faintly, a trace of bitterness on his handsome face.
Bai Wangshu’s eyes reddened: “Brother Gu Yun, I want to be with you, I don’t want to be separated from you, this banquet… forget it!”
“Wangshu, don’t be so willful!”
“I want to be willful!”
While Bai Wangshu and Nan Liu were arguing, the other onlookers exclaimed.
Because a luxury car drove up ostentatiously.
A man and a woman got out of the car.
The woman wore an elegant white dress, and the man wore a custom-made suit.
“Isn’t that Miss Wen Family and Young Master Gu of the Gu Family! What a perfect match!”
“Yeah, didn’t Miss Wen Family marry a useless son-in-law? Why is she now appearing with Young Master Gu?”
“That son-in-law… what’s his name again? Oh right! Zhang Buran, that kind of waste is simply not presentable! When has Wen Chuhan ever brought that son-in-law to a banquet?”
“Wen Chuhan certainly doesn’t like that useless son-in-law! It seems she’s always liked Young Master Gu, Gu Yun!”
“Looking at it this way, Wen Chuhan and Gu Yun are a perfect match, a match made in heaven!”
“Don’t talk nonsense! We small families shouldn’t discuss the grievances and hatreds of the Magic City Six Great Families…”
The ones who got out of the luxury car were Wen Chuhan and Gu Yun.
Wen Chuhan held Gu Yun’s hand, and the two walked into the Wang Family Villa side by side, intimately.
Gu Yun felt the admiring gazes around him and was incredibly arrogant.
As he passed Bai Wangshu and Nan Liu, Gu Yun glanced back at Bai Wangshu, a greedy glint in his eyes.
This woman, she’s quite pretty!
However, Wen Chuhan was with him, so Gu Yun could only suppress his restless heart.
“Young Master Gu, Miss Wen!”
The bodyguards, who were cold-faced moments ago, now bowed and scraped to Gu Yun and Wen Chuhan.
“Here are our invitations.” Wen Chuhan smiled politely at the bodyguard and handed over the invitations.
After briefly checking the invitations, the bodyguard gestured for them to enter.
“Miss Wen, Young Master Gu, please.”
Wen Chuhan and Gu Yun walked inside, surrounded by admiring gazes.
However, at this moment, amid an uproar from the crowd, a conspicuous Aston Martin roared up.
Gu Yun’s attention was drawn to it.
When he saw the license plate, Gu Yun was startled.
Xia Yun, wearing a luxurious formal dress, elegantly stepped out of the back seat, captivating Gu Yun’s gaze.
Zhang Buran, wearing a mask, also got out of the car and followed Xia Yun, like a bodyguard.
“Such a grand entrance! Who is she?”
“No matter how grand, is it grander than Miss Wen and Young Master Gu? The Wen Family and Gu Family are two of the Magic City Six Great Families!”
“Young Master Gu seems to be going to greet her…”
When the other powerful figures saw Xia Yun’s arrival, they speculated about her identity.
When Wen Chuhan saw Xia Yun, her heart skipped a beat.
Wasn’t this the woman who drove away with Zhang Buran?
Why is she here?
Is she also here to attend the banquet?
Wen Chuhan felt uncomfortable seeing Xia Yun and wanted to leave quickly.
After all, even the naturally beautiful Wen Chuhan paled in comparison to this woman.
Women are always competitive, and Wen Chuhan didn’t want to be a foil to Xia Yun.
Even her beloved Brother Gu Yun’s gaze involuntarily drifted towards Xia Yun, as if mesmerized.
And the next moment, Gu Yun inexplicably walked towards Xia Yun.
Although Wen Chuhan wanted to leave, she could only follow Gu Yun, afraid that he would be snatched away.
Gu Yun was captivated by Xia Yun at their first sight.
Xia Yun’s stunning beauty and ethereal aura captivated Gu Yun’s heart.
This second encounter was even more stunning than the first.
Xia Yun, in a golden formal dress, exuded a mysterious and elegant aura in her composed manner.
The other powerful figures whom others vied to curry favor with seemed insignificant in Xia Yun’s eyes.
“This beautiful Miss, you look familiar, have we met before?”
Gu Yun approached Xia Yun and greeted her gentlemanly.
Judging from the Aston Martin and the license plate, Xia Yun’s identity must be extraordinary.
She might be the daughter of a prominent family.
And Gu Yun didn’t recognize Xia Yun, which further piqued his curiosity.
