Chapter 113: The Soiree

Hearing Wu Tian’s words, Wang Dong couldn’t help but lift his head slightly, his eyes filled with pride.
“Brother Dong is really impressive. Without you, how could we have attended such an amazing banquet?”
“Yeah, Wang Dong, you’re incredible. This place is full of the most successful people in Shen City.”
The others all expressed admiration toward Wang Dong.
“Yeah, being able to come to this kind of banquet is truly a rare opportunity. Wang Dong is quite capable to bring so many of us here.”
Zhao Sijie nodded in agreement. For her, attending such a banquet was a chance to broaden her horizons, which she thought was quite good.
Hearing this, Wang Dong felt secretly excited; it was rare for Zhao Sijie to praise him.
He immediately acted more humble and said, “It’s nothing special. I just asked a friend to help me get the invitation. If you like, next time there’s a banquet, I’ll bring you all along.”
“Hmph, hypocritical,” Xia Yu said silently, then possessively wrapped an arm around Zhao Sijie’s slim waist.
Seeing this, Wang Dong gritted his teeth in anger but said nothing, thinking to himself, “Just wait, you’ll be the one crying later.”
Before coming, he had already learned that Xia Yu’s ex-wife Lin Yuxin and Liang Zichao would also be attending.
The others looked at Xia Yu with resentment, wondering why Wang Dong insisted on inviting him along.
A mere driver—doesn’t he feel ashamed to be here with us?
So one bespectacled man sneered sarcastically, “Xia Yu, when you get inside, don’t say you’re just a driver. After all, everyone here is someone important. We don’t want to embarrass ourselves because of you.”
Xia Yu glanced at him but didn’t respond. Instead, Lili stepped forward angrily, “Four-eyes, what are you saying?”
“Xia Yu isn’t a stranger to us. We’re all friends. Is it really necessary to say such things?”
“Aren’t you just a low-level employee yourself? Why act so high and mighty?”
Hearing this, several people looked surprised. The bespectacled man was embarrassed and speechless.
Wang Dong and Wu Tian also looked at Lili oddly. Wasn’t she the one who had been the fiercest toward Xia Yu last time? Why such a sudden change now?
“Alright, time’s up. Let’s go inside.”
Lili glanced at the time, then turned and smiled kindly at Xia Yu.

Xia Yu was stunned, unaware that Lili had already vaguely seen through his identity and thought she had a change of heart.
As they walked toward the hotel, several acquaintances suddenly appeared coming toward them.
“Xia Yu, damn, you’re really here!”
Li Shen exclaimed in surprise upon seeing Xia Yu.
Everyone stopped. The group approaching was Li Shen, Chen Feilu, and others, all dressed in dazzling attire.
“Yu Ge, are they your friends?” Zhao Sijie asked curiously.
“Yeah, friends,” Xia Yu smiled, looking at Li Shen and the others with amusement, especially at Chen Fei.
Chen Fei’s expression turned extremely sour. She had been mocking Xia Yu nonstop on the way, thinking he was bluffing that night, even urging Li Shen to call him to check if he had arrived.
Li Shen, not wanting Xia Yu to be embarrassed, naturally didn’t dare to call.
But unexpectedly, here he was.
“Sijie, wait here. I’ll go say hi.”
Xia Yu smiled and walked over, addressing Chen Fei directly, “You lost. Do you remember what we bet that night?”
“You...” Chen Fei’s face turned pale with anger. “Get lost! Did you win?”
“If you’re so brave, why don’t you go inside? I don’t believe you were actually invited!”
“Will you call me ‘Dad’ if I get in?” Xia Yu teased.
“You...” Chen Fei was speechless.
“Alright, watch me walk right in. I’m waiting for you to say it,” Xia Yu joked. “Don’t go back on your word.”
Then he turned back toward Zhao Sijie and the others, “Let’s go.”
Everyone thought Xia Yu was truly friends with them, just saying hello, so they didn’t think much and continued toward the hotel.

“Fei Fei, looks like you’re going to lose,” Li Shen teased. He was pleasantly surprised Xia Yu actually had some skill and was happy for him.
“Shut up!” Chen Fei glared fiercely at him and had no choice but to follow behind, thinking she absolutely couldn’t let this loser win.
So as Chen Yang and the others went inside, she hurriedly shouted, “Security, don’t let him in!”
“I suspect he doesn’t have an invitation and is just sneaking in to eat for free. Stop him quickly.”
“Hurry up! He’s just a poor loser driver. How could he possibly have an invitation?”
The black-clad security guards at the entrance exchanged looks and rushed over after Chen Fei pointed and shouted at Xia Yu.
“Sir, please wait.”
Wang Dong and the others looked baffled, staring at Xia Yu in confusion.
Aren’t they friends? Why did that woman suddenly turn on Xia Yu?
“See? I told you,”
“Being with this loser is definitely embarrassing. I have to stay away.”
The bespectacled man said angrily, deliberately distancing himself from Xia Yu.
Others also looked at Xia Yu with disdain, gritting their teeth in hatred.
“Yu Ge, what’s going on?” Zhao Sijie asked, puzzled.
“It’s nothing. Don’t worry.”
Xia Yu smiled at her, then asked the security guards, “Is there a problem?”
