Chapter 148: Chapter 148: Secret Contest

Gu Cong glanced at her with a flash in his eyes, it seemed his future little junior sister was not so simple.

His cell phone vibrated in his pocket, he lowered his gaze to read the message before looking up, "The teacher asked me to drop by the Piano Association, you can go back."

Feng Ye drove around Beijing’s most bustling commercial district before finally parking in front of the Tianxi Club.

Xie Fangkai watched his retreating figure, casting a glance in the direction of Tianxi and started to chuckle mockingly.

Lou Ting and Xiao Chen were both at Tianxi, it was quite possible the two would run into each other, it always seemed like there was a good show to watch.

Shen Xuan couldn’t help but ask, "Auntie, who was that driving the car just now, acting so arrogantly?"

Because she recognized the person in the passenger seat, he looked a bit like the psychology teacher at First Middle School, but she wasn’t sure.

"Shh, we mustn’t talk about him," Shen Lin pressed her index finger to her lips, scanned her surroundings, then pulled the two of them aside and whispered, "That man is a taboo in Beijing, ordinary people don’t even dare to speak of him, he is the legitimate eldest son of the Xiao Family, and the Mo Jade Thumb Ring he wears represents not just the Xiao Family, but all Four Major Families."

"You’ll slowly come to understand after you’ve spent more time in Beijing. People from the Four Major Families are not to be trifled with; they have nearly a thousand years of family heritage, deeply complex roots, and are very protective of their own. If you encounter someone from the Four Major Families, it’s best to avoid them if you can, and definitely do not get into conflicts with them."

Shen Lin had been married in Beijing for ten years and had not yet crossed the threshold of that world, although she knew some people who were connected to the Four Major Families, they couldn’t bring her into contact with those people.

Shen Xuan and Bai Hui were somewhat frightened; Shen Lin usually displayed a sense of superiority in front of them, but when she spoke of those people, she did so with a mix of reverence and fear, which indicated just how terrifying they could be.

The two women watched the direction in which the car disappeared, filled with envy and longing, and also a sense of fear.

Feng Ye parked in front of Tianxi, and Xiao Chen opened the car door, his long legs touching the ground, as the club’s doorman immediately approached with deference and caution.

"Master Chen, the regular private room?"

Tianxi had reserved a private room for him, that particular private room had always been his, and no one else had used it.

Feng Ye got out of the driver’s side and struck a dashing pose as he adjusted his hair, "VIP666, show the way."

The attendant hesitated for a moment, looking troubled as he glanced at the nearby QR code, sweat forming on his back.

Working as a doorman was becoming harder, with the patrons of Tianxi being either rich or noble, and now they required he scan health codes and wear masks before entering, a treatment they likely had not experienced before.

"Oh, that must be tough on you," Feng Ye said with a quaint smile, catching the attendant off-guard.

Bowing, the attendant’s forehead broke out in sweat, "Please understand, it’s for everyone’s safety, it has to be done this way."

The two men scanned the QR codes, and observing their calm demeanor, the attendant breathed a sigh of relief and led the way, "Please, this way."

Tianxi had a great environment and excellent service, which is why many people enjoyed frequenting it.

Leading the way, the attendant remembered that the VIP666 private room was already reserved by Lou Ting!

He was slightly shocked, hesitant to ask and not daring to do so.

When they reached the private room, he carefully said, "Master Chen, Young Master Lou is inside, you..."

"We know, you can leave now," Feng Ye said with a smile.

The attendant stole a glance at the two of them, really not daring to let them in, afraid of Young Master Lou’s blame, but these two were also nobility, he couldn’t bear it if they lost their tempers.

"Maybe I should still..."

Xiao Chen frowned and glanced at him, cutting off the attendant’s words that were on the tip of his tongue, worried that if he continued, he might lose his job.

The man’s hands, distinct at the knuckles, pulled open the crystal glass door of the private room, and he stepped in with his long legs.

Feng Ye gave the attendant a reassuring smile, "It’s none of your concern now, don’t worry, we’ve been invited."

With that, he too entered the room.

The attendant stood still for a long time, startled, invited?

Was it the meaning he understood?

But weren’t these two masters not on good terms?

The whole of Beijing knew that initially, they had caused an uproar throughout the city fighting over a business deal, which Young Master Lou had eventually snatched away.

They were all aware that the two had developed a grudge against each other, and moreover, Young Master Lou had only brought a few women with him this time; it was definitely not for discussing business.

Master Chen was famously ascetic. Surely he hadn’t come for these women.

He hesitated at the door for a moment, then decided to inform the manager about the situation. If something happened, only the manager could step in to mediate.

For small fries like them, when immortals fight, they could only stand aside and watch, only hoping not to get involved.

Inside the private room, Ruan Yingtong was singing. Yun Yue sat on the sofa, her slender legs stretched out and resting on the coffee table, her expression darkening.

Her gaze flickered to Lou Ting by her side, who at the moment was chatting and laughing with her. His right hand rested nonchalantly on her shoulder, talking about something that seemed to be amusing to both.

He focused on that one hand, finding it particularly conspicuous and wanting to chop it off.

Lou Ting noticed a hostile glare and swept his phoenix eyes toward the doorway. His eyes shimmered with a hazy drunkenness, his thin lips parting slightly as he stood up with his long legs, "Isn’t this Xiao Chen? What kind of wind has blown you here? Don’t tell me you came because there are a few beauties over here?"

Xiao Chen’s eyes, sharp and cold like an eagle’s, curled with a faint smirk, "Of course, I was invited over by someone."

He swept one leg over and sat down beside Yun Yue. She felt the sofa sink as a scent of cool vanilla mixed with hints of hormones wafted into her nostrils, just like last time at the Lin Family’s.

His left hand unceremoniously rested on her shoulder, his tone carrying a faintly challenging air, "Aren’t you going to introduce your friend to me?"

Lou Ting: "..."

Introduce my ass!

He knew Yun Yueyue when you were still in school!

If anyone should be introduced, it should be to him!

What a thick face!

He had never expected that the two friends she mentioned would be these two people. Had he known, he would never have let them come.

Yun Yue frowned and glanced at the hand on her shoulder, shot him a look, and shrugged her shoulder, shaking off his hand.

Xiao Chen’s face darkened. Lou Ting’s hand could rest on her shoulder, but his couldn’t?

He frowned and gave Feng Ye a sidelong glance.

King of Rescue Feng Ye quickly got the message and leaned in, "Young Master Lou, Master Chen is the friend and teacher of the little kid."

Lou Ting looked at Xiao Chen with a provocative glare, his eyes filled with disdain.

An acquaintance barely counted as a friend, what use is a teacher who couldn’t teach anything?

He had known Yun Yueyue for over ten years; could anyone know her longer than he had?

And a teacher? What could Yun Yueyue possibly need to be taught by him?

Xiao Chen’s eyes flickered faintly. What the hell was with that look? It was the first time he’d seen someone who deserved a beating so badly.

He took a bag of cake from Feng Ye, opened it, and handed it to Yun Yue, "I bought this for you while I was passing by, eat it."

Lou Ting chuckled sneeringly, "That’s unfortunate, she just had her fill."

On the way over, he’d passed by Tess’s cake shop and bought all the flavors she liked to eat. She had just finished eating and there were still uneaten pieces on the side.
