Chapter 114: He Actually Dared to Come!

“That young lady said you don’t have an invitation. Please show it,” the security guard said sternly, his face serious.
“That’s right. He’s definitely here to freeload. Otherwise, how could a poor guy like him, just a driver running errands, have the right to come in?” Chen Fei strutted over arrogantly, and no matter how much Li Shen tried to persuade her, it was useless.
Other guests, attracted by the commotion, overheard Chen Fei’s words and began whispering and pointing at Xia Yu, stifling their laughter.
“How ridiculous, what’s a driver doing at this event?”
“Yeah, having such low-class people here just lowers the standards of the party.”
Hearing the surrounding remarks, Wang Dong and Wu Tian were delighted inside.
This was perfect. Before he even met his ex-wife, this guy was about to make a fool of himself.
Zhao Sijie should be able to see his true colors now, right? Being with such a loser means no future; he would only keep embarrassing her.
However, they didn’t expect Zhao Sijie to defend Xia Yu so fiercely. She angrily confronted Chen Fei: “Hey, what are you talking about?”
“Who’s freeloading? Why are you targeting Yu-ge?”
Chen Fei was annoyed that this poor guy even had such a beautiful defender. She retorted, “Where’s your invitation? Why don’t you dare to show it?”
“Fei Fei, cut it out. Show some face and stop this,” Li Shen urged anxiously. After all, in his heart, he still considered Xia Yu a brother.
At such an occasion, her making a scene put Xia Yu in a difficult position as a man—where could he put his face?
“Shut up. Would you even be here without me?” Chen Fei shot him a disdainful glare.
Li Shen was instantly speechless.
Zhao Sijie said angrily, “Wang Dong, please show them the invitation.”
The more embarrassed Xia Yu was, the happier Wang Dong became. But since Zhao Sijie spoke up, he couldn’t continue pretending to be indifferent.
“This is my invitation. Each one can bring six guests, so we’re just right.”
The security guard took a quick look, then handed it back to Wang Dong and said to Xia Yu, “Sorry for the trouble. Please come in.”
Xia Yu turned to Chen Fei and said, “See? Any more questions?”
“I…” Chen Fei was speechless.
“No problem with the number of people? Then call me daddy.”
Xia Yu’s face darkened as he approached her, staring her down.
“Get lost!” Chen Fei was furious. “You deadbeat poor guy just sneaked in with someone else’s invite! And you have the nerve to say you won?”
“I don’t care about losers like you.”

With that, she stormed inside, clearly intending to cause more trouble.
Xia Yu narrowed his eyes, feeling he had to teach this woman a lesson.
“Don’t be mad, brother. I’ll buy you a drink later and explain everything,” Li Shen patted Chen Yang’s arm and chased after Lulu inside.
Xia Yu’s expression calmed.
Zhao Sijie asked with concern, “Yu-ge, are you alright?”
“I’m fine. Let’s go,” Xia Yu smiled gently.
“Damn, stay away from us later. Don’t get us embarrassed by accident,” the bespectacled guy grumbled.
“Shut up, why do you talk so much nonsense?” Lily snapped back, defending Xia Yu fiercely.
Even Zhao Sijie was puzzled by Lily’s unusual behavior but didn’t dare ask. Perhaps, because of what happened at the last gathering, she felt guilty toward Xia Yu.
Inside the grand hall, the spacious venue was decorated with opulence and splendor.
Many guests were already present; the men all dressed in suits, looking like businessmen and bosses of various ages.
The women were mostly young beauties, dressed as elegantly as Lily, glamorous and resembling socialites.
Elegant jazz music played softly throughout the room. Drinks and snacks were arranged everywhere, with servers moving about to attend to guests.
“This truly is a high-class party. The aura of the upper class is palpable,” Xiaorong and her friends remarked.
“Be careful, we’re also part of high society now,” Wu Tian adjusted his suit, putting on airs.
Everyone chuckled softly. Lily quickly said, “Sijie, Xia Yu, there’s a spot over there. Let’s go have some drinks. The wine here is definitely good.”
“Alright, let’s go, Yu-ge,” Zhao Sijie replied.
Xia Yu nodded and followed them over.
“Xia Yu!!”
At this moment, Lin Yuxin, along with Liang Zichao and some young masters from the circle, were gathered, chatting and laughing.
They were all well-known figures in the social scene, especially Liang Zichao, heir to the Liang family, whose noble status made him the center of attention.
Naturally, these young masters formed a clique, making it intimidating for others to approach, yet attracting attention nonetheless.
Lin Yuxin sat beside Liang Zichao, her eyes fixed on Lin Yuqing not far away. She watched with jealousy as Lin Yuqing chatted and laughed with people from the Xiao Group.
Lin Yuqing was now one of the Lin family’s prominent figures and a famous signed broadcaster under Yinghao’s banner. Naturally, she was invited to this event.

When Lin Yuxin saw Xia Yu, her eyes narrowed sharply. She quickly nudged Liang Zichao beside her and said, “Honey, I just saw Xia Yu.”
“What? He’s actually here? Where?!” Liang Zichao looked up in anger.
...
“Yu-ge, I see Yuqing,” Zhao Sijie excitedly nudged Xia Yu and whispered.
“Really?” Xia Yu followed her gaze and indeed spotted that girl.
Lin Yuqing wore a pure white gown, both sexy and elegant, standing out in the crowd. Her fame and beauty were unmatched by most women present.
Even Lin Yuxin, once hailed as the Lin family’s most beautiful woman, had been completely overshadowed by Lin Yuqing.
“Should we say hi to her?” Xia Yu smiled lightly.
“No, she looks busy,” Zhao Sijie said with some envy. “Yuqing looks so beautiful tonight. She’s a top broadcaster now, receiving her family’s attention. She’s successful.”
Seeing the envy in her eyes, Xia Yu was moved. “Sijie, do you want to shine like her one day?”
“Who doesn’t? But I know I’m far from her,” Zhao Sijie smiled sadly. “No matter what, she’s a lady of the Lin family.”
“Our statuses are worlds apart. I’ll never be that dazzling. But I’m content now because I can be with the one I love.”
“And I’m happy for Yuqing too. I hope she succeeds because we’re good friends.”
Xia Yu gently squeezed her cheek. “You can too. You’re an excellent, good girl. More importantly, you’re my woman, Sijie!”
“Tch, just sweet-talking me, huh!” Zhao Sijie rolled her eyes but felt warm inside.
Nearby, Wang Dong, Lily, and the others watched the couple affectionately, feeling quite displeased.
“Xia Yu, seeing you here is really unexpected!”
Suddenly, a voice rang out, and everyone turned toward it.
A cold glint flashed in Xia Yu’s eyes as Liang Zichao and Lin Yuxin approached majestically, followed by several young masters.
Wang Dong and Wu Tian exchanged glances, secretly excited and anticipating the upcoming spectacle.
At last, the grand drama was about to unfold!
