Chapter 72: No feast is a good feast, no person is a good person
Inside the Treasure Pavilion.
Su Wen looked at the invitation in front of him and finally decided to attend the dinner party tonight.
Although he didn't want to get involved with Yang Feixue, and even more so detested Sun Yue, this was after all a gathering of high society. Now that he was in charge of Jibao Zhai, getting to know these people was something he had to do for the sake of its future development.
He took a look at the address on the invitation.
Misty Mountain Villa.
This is a leisure place outside Jiangning, which is rarely open to the public and ordinary people are basically not eligible to enter. However, at certain times, rows of luxury cars will be parked at the entrance of Menglong Villa, leaving passersby amazed.
This mountain villa is not simple at all.
As for why it's called Menglong Villa, it's because Menglong Villa is located outside of Jiangning on Yunling Mountain.
Yunling Mountain is one of the scenic spots in Jiangning, with four distinct seasons every year. The scenery of Yunling Mountain is particularly beautiful. However, what makes Yunling Mountain most beautiful is not this, but its mist. No matter when, Yunling Mountain always appears to be shrouded in mist, like a fairyland.
Very beautiful.
Generally above the middle of the mountain, it is misty all year round, and the Misty Mountain Villa is located at the middle of Yunling Mountain.
Su Wen set off at five o'clock in the afternoon.
He hailed a taxi, but the driver was unwilling to go to Yunling Mountain. The main reason was that it was difficult to pick up passengers on the way back. However, when Su Wen took out a stack of red tickets, the driver didn't say another word, and today his car was chartered by Su Wen.
"Little brother, what are you doing going to the Misty Mountain Villa? That's not a place just anyone can go." The driver seemed quite chatty, and he thought Su Wen didn't seem like a rich person. He wondered which rich person would take a taxi, and if Su Wen wasn't a rich person, then his trip to the Misty Mountain Villa was very suspicious.
"I'm going to attend a banquet." Su Wen didn't conceal it either.
The driver smiled and seemed somewhat skeptical.
The misty mountain villa arrived soon.
Su Wen looked out of the window and indeed saw a mountain villa.
After all, this is a mountain, and there is only one road back and forth. I don't know how much it will cost to build a villa here.
"Little brother, I'm just waiting for you over here." The driver pointed to the parking lot specially marked out by the Misty Mountain Villa, and now looking towards the parking lot, there were already more than 20 luxury cars parked there. Su Wen might not have felt anything yet, but the driver looked envious, knowing that the price of any one of those luxury cars was at least over a million.
Su Wen got off the car and walked straight towards the Meng Meng Mountain Villa.
Although he was less than a hundred meters away from the Misty Mountain Villa at this moment, in the thin fog, he vaguely saw only four words carved on a huge stone, which was the name of the Misty Mountain Villa. As for other things, Su Wen couldn't see them at all.
As he walked further in, he saw four attendants.
Four people saw Su Wen coming over, and the first two walked up one in front of the other.
"Sir, may I ask what brings you to Meng Meng Mountain Villa?" A servant spoke up, his sharp eyes noticing that Su Wen was dressed in shabby clothes.
"Going to a banquet." Su Wen handed over the invitation.
The two waiters looked at each other in surprise, for there was only one banquet held here today, that of the Shengshi Auction House. However, the level of this banquet was too high, and the identities of the participants were all extremely noble, yet they really couldn't associate Su Wen with the word "noble".
"Is there a problem?" Su Wen furrowed his brow, unaccustomed to being scrutinized in such a way.
"No, no problem!" a waiter muttered to himself, he didn't know why Su Wen was dressed so shabbily, but since he had brought an invitation, that was absolutely not a mistake, this invitation wasn't something just anyone could forge.
Su Wen didn't say anything either and took the invitation card before entering.
Two attendants led Su Wen forward, when suddenly a whistling sound came from afar.
A cool sports car stopped behind Su Wen.
Su Wen turned around and saw that Sun Yue and a young man had come down from above. The young man had dyed his hair red, wore flashy clothes, and looked like he was trying to show off, as if afraid others wouldn't know what an idiot he was. He really deserved a beating.
Sun Yue saw Su Wen, and a venomous color flashed in his eyes.
"Sun Yue, what's wrong?" The young man asked.
"Li Shao, he's the enemy I told you about. I've never been so humiliated in my life! He deserves to die!" Sun Yue said, his fists clenched with a cracking sound.
The young man was Li Shao.
His full name is Li Dong.
Sun Yueyi arrived in Jiangning and quickly got in touch with Li Dong through his family connections.
Everyone knows.
Li Dong is not scary, Li Dong's dad is scary.
As for Li Dong's father's name, he is known as Li San Ye, and his real name is actually Li San Xie!
Li Sanxie used to be a hoodlum, but after the country's politics became clear and transparent, those underground forces either went legit or disappeared. At least in Jiangning, you don't hear about gangs anymore, but many people understand that the old underground forces just found new ways to survive.
Li San is indeed like this.
The gang he created back then had long since disappeared, but that didn't mean he was left with nothing. In less than a year, he dispersed all the gang members to various parts of Jiangning and established many entertainment venues. It can be said that half of the KTVs and bars in Jiangning City are Li Sanxie's. This is not all, three out of five ** have Li Sanxie as their behind-the-scenes owner. The current Li Sanxie has completed a magnificent transformation, looking every bit like a successful person.
Li Dong is the only son of Li San Jie and also his heart's desire.
It was because of Li Sanxie's pampering that Li Dong developed a fearless personality. The invitation sent by Shengshi Auction House was for Li Sanxie, but Li Sanxie couldn't come due to some matters, so he let Li Dong represent him instead.
Li Dong and Sun Yue have just known each other for a few days, but they are already calling each other brothers.
Now Sun Yue met his enemy, Li Dong said casually: "Do you want me to help you?"
"How can I help?" Sun Yue's heart was actually clearer than anyone else's, he had befriended Li Dong just to get him to take action, and unexpectedly today was a coincidence, running into Su Wen at the right time.
"It's simple, just find a few people to beat him up." Li Dong said disapprovingly.
"As far as I know, Su Wen's personal martial arts skills are very strong, and a few people may not be able to subdue him." Sun Yue furrowed his brow, his true intention was to get rid of Su Wen, where just beating him up would not be enough. The ferocious gaze in Su Wen's eyes that day still lingered in his mind.
"Then let's change our plan and just cripple him by running over him with a car." Li Dong was somewhat unenthusiastic, after all, Su Wen didn't have any grudges against him.
"Driving into a collision?" A glint of inspiration flashed in Sun Yue's eyes, and he thought of a good idea. Unbeknownst to Su Wen, who was far away, Sun Yue had already decided to take action against him. Even if Su Wen knew, he would probably just laugh it off.
A woman walked out of the misty mountain villa.
"Su Wen, why aren't you going in?" Yang Feixue hurried over.
"Just arrived." Su Wen smiled awkwardly.
"You actually came by taxi?" Yang Feixue discovered something, mainly that the car was too eye-catching. "Okay, you win! Let's not talk about this anymore, let's go in first and I'll introduce you to a few people who have some ideas about your delivery."
"This banquet seems to be used for propaganda." Su Wen muttered to himself, and he somewhat understood.
Sun Yue saw Su Wen and Yang Feixue about to enter, and hastily shouted: "Feixue, why did you come out personally? Let me introduce him to you, this is the son of Li San Ye, Li Shao!"
Li Dong saw Yang Feixue, and his mouth was watering. Listening to Sun Yue's introduction, he hastily said: "Miss Yang, I'm Li Dong, it's great to meet you, you're really beautiful, my type, I don't know if we can dance together later."
Those naked eyes seem extremely hateful.
Sun Yue's face also turned unpleasant, Yang Feixue was the woman he liked, and this Li Dong actually came up to ask Yang Feixue to dance together, which made his face lose its place. Especially looking at Yang Feixue's current expression, basically she had listed Li Dong as the most hated person, followed by Sun Yue, who let Li Dong be brought by Sun Yue.
"Li Shaokai was just joking, I still have things to attend to, I'll go in first." Yang Feixue's face was covered with frost.
Li Dong watched Yang Feixue leave, licked his lips and said: "Enough personality, I like it. Sun Yue, do you think if I get Miss Yang into bed, will it be very cool? Hehe!"
A flash of venomous color passed through Sun Yue's eyes, but his mouth was smiling.
Su Wen followed Yang Fei Xue, feeling speechless in her heart.
Although he hasn't seen all of this banquet yet, he more or less knows what kind of banquet it is.
To put it bluntly, this is just a group of people getting together to pretend and deceive each other. At the beginning, they hypocritically exchange pleasantries, then some idiots stand up to lower everyone's IQ, and finally end in an atmosphere that they think is harmonious.
To put it in one sentence: There is no good banquet, and there are no good people.
Su Wen sighed secretly, is this really what they call high society life? It's truly laughable!
