God of Racing

Chapter 471 - 460

With Lu Jinxuan’s antics, they were delayed quite a bit.

Naturally, they arrived the latest.

The dinner was of a private nature, attended by people around Lu Jinxuan’s age. Yu Sangwan could guess the purpose of Lu Jinxuan bringing her.

Although she was currently living with the Lu Family, she had never met Mrs. Lu. It seemed the Lu Family’s elders did not acknowledge her and had no intention of accepting her. Lu Jinxuan intended to gradually introduce her into his circle in this manner.

Within Lu Jinxuan’s private circle, all attendees held prominent statuses, though Yu Sangwan couldn’t discern how many were truly close to him.

As soon as they entered the banquet hall, they inevitably became the center of attention. Yu Sangwan felt somewhat timid, considering it was her first time attending such an event.

Lu Jinxuan placed his palm on her waist, lowering his head slightly to whisper in her ear, "I’m here."

"Mm." Yu Sangwan nodded and smiled. Luckily, her dress, which covered her neck and shoulders, concealed the marks Lu Jinxuan had left earlier.

A tall man walked towards them, his left hand in his pocket, and his right hand shaking a string of beads made of unknown material, with a cigarette in his mouth. His eyes flitted between Lu Jinxuan and Yu Sangwan with a playful gaze.

"Yo!" Qin Shaoju raised an eyebrow teasingly, "Young Master Lu, who is this... Aren’t you going to introduce her?"

Lu Jinxuan frowned, raised his hand towards Qin Shaoju, who reciprocated with a high five. Glancing at Yu Sangwan, he introduced briefly, "Yu Sangwan, Qin Shaoju."

"Oh, Miss Yu, hello." Qin Shaoju extended his hand to Yu Sangwan with an even brighter smile, "Nice to meet you."

"Uh..." Yu Sangwan was a bit unsure, having no experience dealing with such elites; was this a handshake?

Just as she raised her hand, it was promptly grasped by Lu Jinxuan. Casting a glance at Qin Shaoju, Lu Jinxuan said, "Ignore him, Wanwan... Let’s go inside."

Qin Shaoju’s hand was left hanging mid-air, watching them walk away together, smiling even more, "Ha... Not letting her be touched? Interesting!"

A figure appeared behind him. It was Gong Xueyan, dressed extravagantly, holding a new model of a GIVENCHY bag, which she was almost crushing. Her eyes fixated on the two departing figures, clearly filled with jealousy.

Qin Shaoju chuckled, "What, weren’t you uninterested before?"

Gong Xueyan looked up at him, snorting coldly, "I hadn’t met him before; how was I supposed to know Lu Jinxuan was like this."

"Haha!" Qin Shaoju laughed aloud, "Don’t be so worked up. Women... which man here doesn’t have a few around? You’re the main wife, after all, so be more forgiving. These things are unavoidable."

Gong Xueyan glared at him, "Stop with the sarcasm. I’m just asking... will you help or not?"

Qin Shaoju hastily raised his hands, signaling surrender, "Help, of course, help! How dare I refuse when Miss Gong asks for it?"

"Thanks." Gong Xueyan flashed a dazzling smile, confident of winning.

...

"Young Master Lu, it’s starting, how about a few rounds?"

As the night went on and the drinks flowed, the atmosphere grew livelier with no sign of winding down.

Lu Jinxuan had drunk a fair amount, while Yu Sangwan was relatively alright, having been shielded by him. At this moment, Qin Shaoju patted Lu Jinxuan on the shoulder, referring to the gambling outside. For these rich young men, gambling was as trivial as playing cards.

Lu Jinxuan glanced at Yu Sangwan, not feeling at ease.

The entire evening, people had been watching them with many unkind remarks. Yu Sangwan didn’t want to trouble him, "Go ahead."

Lu Jinxuan held her hand, "Together."

Qin Shaoju signaled to the women present, and they immediately surrounded Yu Sangwan, "Hey, Miss Yu, you shouldn’t go. Men’s gambling is too bloody and not at all refined. Wouldn’t you rather stay here and chat with us?"

"Uh..." Yu Sangwan hesitated.

Lu Jinxuan frowned, just about to refuse, when Qin Shaoju stopped him, "Hey, Young Master Lu... If you take her away, the purpose of bringing her tonight will be gone! If you truly want to be with her, she must learn to get along with these people. This is just the beginning."

Gazing at Qin Shaoju, Lu Jinxuan knew his words were true. He admitted his selfishness; to keep her, he would have to integrate her into his life.

"Wanwan."

Understanding the expectation in his eyes, Yu Sangwan nodded, "I can do it, you go ahead! I’ll wait for you here."

Lu Jinxuan curved his lips in satisfaction, "Alright, I won’t go far."

Releasing her hand, Lu Jinxuan turned and left.

The women exchanged glances and crowded around Yu Sangwan, "Miss Yu, Young Master Lu finally let go of you, come on, tell us how you two met?"

"Uh... it’s just..."

...

Yu Sangwan felt a headache from the chatter, constantly sensing they were deliberately making things difficult for her. But why? She didn’t know them.

Having been persuaded to drink a little, she felt slightly tipsy, likely because, after her recent illness, her constitution was not what it used to be. The alcohol seemed stronger than expected, even after only a small amount.

"Miss Yu? What’s wrong? Feeling dizzy?"

Yu Sangwan held her temples, shaking her head, "I’m fine."

"Why don’t you rest over there for a bit?"

Feeling someone support her to a sofa, Yu Sangwan smiled in thanks, "Thank you..."

Propped by one hand on the sofa, she felt drowsy... Opening her eyes again revealed a different scene. The women who had been chattering around her were nowhere to be found, and the surroundings had suddenly quieted. Yu Sangwan swiftly cleared her head and stood up.

"Jinxuan!"

She took a few steps in the direction Lu Jinxuan had left earlier. It seemed to be this way.

Just as she exited the door, she ran into someone.

"Whoa!" Qin Shaoju raised a hand in surprise, looking down with a playful smile at Yu Sangwan.

"Miss Yu, where are you heading?"

Yu Sangwan felt somewhat afraid of this person, always suspecting his smile concealed something unfathomable, "I... I’m looking for Jinxuan, weren’t you with him? Where did he go?"

"Oh, looking for Young Master Lu! I do know; shall I take you to him?" Qin Shaoju asked with a cheerful smile.

Clasping her handbag tighter, Yu Sangwan didn’t fully trust him, but alone in this place, she had no choice but to nod, "Thank you."

"You’re welcome," Qin Shaoju smirked, "let’s go!"

On the marble floor, Qin Shaoju walked ahead. Yu Sangwan followed cautiously behind him, her high heels clicking like beads striking jade.

Suddenly, Qin Shaoju turned around, reaching his long arm towards Yu Sangwan.

"Ah..." Startled, Yu Sangwan lost her footing and fell backward, twisting her ankle slightly.

Fortunately, Qin Shaoju caught her, preventing her from falling, "Miss Yu, are you really this timid?"
