Chapter 733: Chapter 310 The Perfect Occasion to Show Off_2

I’m so thrilled!

A group of adults returned to the banquet hall, engaging in social interactions with a stronger commercial flavor, while the younger ones looked at Su Huai, their gazes odder than the next.

So it’s up to you to take care of us?

But this fire, it can’t be set off just yet.

Zuo Zongcai didn’t leave. He announced with a cheeky smile that a show had been prepared next door for the birthday star, inviting everyone to move over. If someone wanted to show off their skills, they were welcome too.

In any case, make sure to have fun and not just sit around doing nothing.

Su Huai caught his drifting gaze, filled with schadenfreude, both gossipy and annoying.

Hmph, just you wait!

Then all the classmates turned to Su Huai in unison, as if asking, "What’s the plan, Huai?"

"Let’s go."

Su Huai waved nonchalantly, calling for everyone to move on.

"Since there’s a performance to see, let’s go chat and not waste Uncle Gu’s kind intentions."

"Alright, let’s listen to our class president and go!"

Actually, most of the classmates were a bit intimidated; after all, they hadn’t witnessed such a high-level birthday banquet before, and there were too many eye-opening novelties wave after wave.

But with Su Huai there, they were able to muster up their courage.

They moved to the central hall, where the stage had already been completely set up.

The Gu Jiuyue’s older family members didn’t stop, continuing their way back. Cheng LiHua reminded Su Huai, "Enjoy yourselves, Granny believes that you won’t be troubled by those things."

A particularly cryptic remark, but it proved that she saw everything clearly.

Su Huai laughed, "Trust me, that’s right! Don’t worry, I’m a monkey, and whether the Southern Heaven Gate is in chaos or not, the Jade Emperor himself has no say in it!"

"Alright, alright!" Cheng LiHua was so happy she couldn’t keep her mouth closed, gesturing with her hand, "Go on, you monkey head!"

Wang Lezhi stayed behind, while the four senior adults continued on their way.

Once he was away from the crowd, Gu Huatang began to nag, "They’re spoiled beyond recognition, not a single one of them is obedient, and that kid, what’s the difference between him and the hoodlums from our era?!"

On and on, he was full of grievances.

Cheng LiHua didn’t want to pay him any attention, but Wang Yuqing, who usually lacked presence among his brothers, suddenly shot back.

"Back in our era, you were one to stay in the cowshed. You’d make a perfect match with that ruffian young man, neither worthy to dislike the other!"

Gu Huatang got so angry that his mustache bristled and his eyes bulged, immediately getting into it with Wang.

But it was strange, Wang Yuqing, who had no presence at home, once he was out, he regained the prestige of an academician, with concise, sharp, and acidic retorts that left gaping holes.

It’s good that Su Huai didn’t see this scene; if he had, he would definitely not dare to mess around with Wang Yuqing in the future.

The old little guy actually isn’t that easy to mess with...

When the adults had mostly cleared out, there were only about 80 young people left in the Central Theater.

Among them, 20 or so were young relatives who came with their families, not all of them acquainted with Gu Jiuyue, but there were a few whose status was clearly a level higher than the rest of the top second-generation elites.

At first glance, Su Huai saw Mr. Wang.

But the young master didn’t come over to Su Huai’s side. Instead, he tucked himself into a corner of the room with a few similarly aged adults, giggling and chatting, watching the excitement.

As their eyes met, Wang Siming raised his hand and waved, gesturing a phone call sign.

Those around him suddenly perked up, "Eh? Principal, you know that kid?"

Wang Siming nodded, "Yeah, a bit of business cooperation."

"Whose kid is he?"

"He’s not from any well-known family." Wang Siming shook his head, "Just a pretty boy, kind of interesting when he’s not acting stupid."

"Hehe."

The one who asked chuckled lightly at the response, without further comment.

A chubby boy next to them also sneered with contempt, "The Gu family’s gravy train isn’t easy to ride, just wait and see, there will be more fun to come..."

"Do we need to wait for the future? I think it’s quite lively today~"

"It’s all the same, mismatched at the gate, relying on a good-looking face to want both fortune and love, too many novels."

"Gu Jiuyue isn’t the same, whoever she’s interested in is the one, her family can’t control her."

"You’re just making it up, she still has 6 years left until she’s 25, I don’t believe that kid can withstand the tidying up of the Gu family."

"The Gu family? He should first withstand those kids!"

"It’s the age to go crazy for love, hehe, it’s quite interesting!"

These people didn’t know each other well and had no intention of forging deep relationships, so they engaged in idle chitchat while waiting for the so-called excitement to begin.

This was a common occurrence in high society; everyone would inevitably run into each other at events without any conflict, and without the desire to flatter one another, they simply went their own ways.

The top-tier second-generation rich didn’t need to form strong alliances for socializing, so they looked down at everyone with their chins up.

Su Huai, finally, also encountered someone who treated him with such disdain.

The central hall was set up like a theater, with a stage in front that wasn’t very tall but was super wide, and seats below like in a movie theater. Su Huai and Gu Lezhi were sitting in the middle of the first row, and soon three groups of people began to gather towards the center.

"Dude, my name is Wan Guohao, my father is Wan Fangjiang from the Imperial Capital Holdings Group. What’s your name?"

Su Huai looked at the hand extended toward him, raised his head, and saw another chin sticking out. He found it quite astonishing.

Young man, you are also a gentleman, why so brash?!

It’s no wonder he didn’t understand; an adult-minded office worker would indeed find it difficult to empathize with a twenty-something young master.

When are they ever subtle in their usual dealings?

Now, he even thought his behavior was extremely dashing and appropriate...

But Su Huai didn’t respond with the same propriety.

Su Huai lifted his head, smiled, and waved his hands in the air as if to shoo someone away, speaking softly, "Have a seat, Mr. Wan, the performance is about to start."

Wan Guohao’s face turned red with anger, but when he glanced at Gu Jiuyue, who had a cold expression, and Lezhi, who was focused on the stage, he refrained from having an overly dramatic reaction.

Hmm, he simply huffed coldly, not dramatic at all.

Then, the guy sat down next to Su Huai, with his sidekick on the other side.

Next to Lezhi, a boy soon sat down, shyly greeting her, "Aunt Le..."

"Shut up! Call me Sister!"

The boy immediately corrected himself, "Sister Le..."

"No manners! I call your mom ’sister’; what should you call me?"

With just a few words, Lezhi turned the little boy’s ears red with embarrassment and left him stammering, his CPU overheating.

Trying to contain his amusement, Su Huai nudged Gu with his knee.

Gu was just about to react when another girl came over, squatting in front of her, her big eyes blinking rapidly and her voice laced with affectation.

"Wow! Gugu, your boyfriend is so handsome!"

She clasped her hands above her chest, her little face blushing, too shy to look at Su Huai, but her eyes couldn’t help stealing glances at him.

Gu’s face turned cold as she replied, "My good friend doesn’t like affectations, can you tone it down?"

The girl promptly refused, "No way, I can’t talk without it!"

But in fact, she had just spoken without the affectation, her words clear and crisp.

Heh, quite interesting.

Su Huai took a glance at the girl, petite, fair-skinned, voluptuous, wearing a necklace that looked freaking expensive.

Then, as soon as his gaze shifted, the girl immediately climbed up the proverbial pole, coquettishly asking, "Big brother, my name is Zhong Ting, I’m Gugu’s good friend, what’s your name huh?"

This time, Lezhi didn’t intervene, just amusedly watching the spectacle.

Su Huai responded gruffly, "My name is Pliers, Miss, don’t we clash a bit in terms of the five elements?"

"Pfft!"

Gu couldn’t hold back and burst out laughing on the spot.

Zhong Ting was at a loss; could you really banter like this?

But she wasn’t discouraged. Clinging to Lezhi’s hand, she tried to drag her up, cooing, "Sister Le, go and have fun over there. I want to accompany Jiuyue. I haven’t given her my birthday gift yet!"

Lezhi was half-pulled up by her and gave Su Huai a glance before walking lazily towards the banquet hall.

"Forget it, I can’t mesh with you youngsters, you only care about looks..."

Su Huai immediately realized that both Zhong Ting and the shy boy must come from extraordinary families.

But of course, if their families were just slightly less well-off, they wouldn’t have the nerve to approach so boldly.

In a hall with twenty to thirty outsiders, only about four or five approached the center.

The peculiarity of the Imperial Capital was right here: there were too many people whom you couldn’t judge by their appearances, whether you ought to show them respect depended on both perception and emotional intelligence.

But Su Huai wasn’t the slightest bit afraid. Whether it involved guile or wordplay, I’m putting it out there: all present need to up their game.

If this was Uncle Gu’s big move, then all I can say is, thank you for providing yet another brilliant opportunity for this son-in-law to show off!
