Young Master in Flower City

Chapter 637 - 638: Showing Off and Getting Struck by Lightning

"Ah..."

Just then, Xiao Tianyu roared and said, "Hey, Yunxi, why are you pinching my thigh?"

Hearing this, Gu Yunxi gave Xiao Tianyu a look and muttered, "You, the president of Tianyu International, swimming in wealth, went out without any money and made me pay the cab fare. Do you know I've become a laughingstock?"

"Who told you not to pick me up?" Xiao Tianyu replied matter-of-factly. He had no habit of carrying money.

"..." Hearing this, Gu Yunxi chose to remain silent.

"Hey, hey, Goddess Gu, are you dissatisfied with your boyfriend?" someone murmured. "Why not consider me? I would never let you pay the cab fare."

"Bastard, who said I'm dissatisfied with my boyfriend?" Gu Yunxi glared at the young man who spoke, "Never heard 'hitting is caring, scolding is love'? Not hitting or scolding means no love. Go as far as you can!"

"Fine, I'll go!" The speaker had black lines across his face. What could he do? Gu Yunxi simply liked that poor guy.

"A pair of lovebirds!" Murong Pengfei muttered, holding his girlfriend as they entered the hotel and chose a seat. His girlfriend gave an enticing smile, "Do you want to vent some frustration?"

"You have a way?"

"Of course!" she whispered a few words in his ear, "Anyway, the Murong Family has plenty of money. Why not flaunt it in front of him? I think Gu Yunxi's villa is nice, didn't you just buy it on a loan?"

"Great idea!" Murong Pengfei grinned viciously; he had finally found a way to humiliate that guy.

Hearing this, his girlfriend was delighted at the thought of possibly being gifted that villa.

"Everyone, please take your seats!" At that moment, QianShan Xue gestured, and everyone found their seats.

Xiao Tianyu and Gu Yunxi chose a corner to sit, bowing their heads and sipping tea, seemingly oblivious to those around them.

"Everyone, I, QianShan Xue, invited you today not for any particular reason, just to take this opportunity to get to know you all. Frankly, the main guest today is my best friend Gu Yunxi. I hope none of you mind!" QianShan Xue's beautiful eyes shimmered.

"Not at all, it's an honor that the goddess invited her best friend and thought of us!"

"Yes indeed!"

"Who would mind?"

"..."

Voices of agreement filled the hall immediately. Being remembered by a goddess was certainly a fortune.

"In that case, please enjoy the meal!" QianShan Xue smiled slightly.

Shortly after QianShan Xue's words, dishes were quickly served, all being valuable delicacies not easily accessible to ordinary people.

At this moment, QianShan Xue left the stage and headed to a private room,

Upon entering the room, QianShan Xue spoke to Qianshan Yun, "How are the preparations going?"

"Everything is ready!"

"Do not act rashly!" QianShan Xue said.

"Why?"

"Don't ask!" QianShan Xue said, "Just do as I say!"

QianShan Xue didn't expect Xiao Tianyu to be here. She dared not pull any tricks in front of him. After all, Xiao Tianyu was not an ordinary person. If he discovered anything, she wouldn't have any opportunity to get close to him and might even bring trouble to the Qianshan Clan.

"Fine!" Qianshan Yun showed a reluctant expression. Was the caught duck just going to fly away?

...

Hall.

"Young Master Murong, I heard it's also your girlfriend's birthday today, isn't it?" At that moment, a young man spoke with a smile, clearly in cahoots with Murong Pengfei.

"What, it's Young Master Murong's girlfriend's birthday today?" Many people echoed, "Since we're at this party, why not present the gift you prepared for her in advance? Let us broaden our horizons too!"

"It's just an ordinary birthday, my girlfriend didn't even let me prepare anything!" Murong Pengfei smiled slightly, "But I did prepare a little gift on my own accord!"

"Young Master Murong, don't keep it a secret, why not show us?"

"Yeah, apart from QianShan Xue, the Murong Family is the wealthiest here. Besides, Murong Bai of the Murong Family's direct line is already ruined; maybe the Murong Group will be yours in the future!"

"Don't speak carelessly!" Murong Pengfei snorted coldly.

"I spoke out of turn, I'll drink three glasses as punishment!"

"Let it go!" Murong Pengfei waved his hand. Though he said that, he couldn't help but covet the Murong Family's business. He even wished Murong Bai would die on his sickbed; then he would be the Murong Family's only heir.

"Young Master Murong, even if it's a random gift you prepared, it must be valuable. Why not take it out for a look?" someone suggested.

"Actually, it's nothing, just a key to a password lock!"

"A password key?" everyone was stunned.

Then someone said, "Is Young Master Murong giving a villa to your girlfriend as a birthday gift?"

"It's just a villa in the socialite district, nothing to make a fuss about!" With that, Murong Pengfei waved his hand, and a bodyguard entered holding a delicate box.

He placed the box in front of Murong Pengfei.

Murong Pengfei took out the metal key from the box and said, "What's worth mentioning is that the villa used to belong to someone, but unfortunately, they went bankrupt, so the bank foreclosed it. So, I bought it offhand!"

Swish swish swish~

With these words, many eyes turned to Gu Yunxi. Murong Pengfei's words couldn't be clearer—the villa was exactly the one Gu Yunxi used to live in, but now it became someone else's birthday gift.

This seemed both laughable and humiliating.

Of course, everyone knew this was Murong Pengfei deliberately targeting Gu Yunxi, especially since QianShan Xue had just announced that Gu Yunxi was the main attraction of the event. It made him uncomfortable. How could a bankrupt CEO have the qualifications to be invited by QianShan Xue?

Then, Murong Pengfei handed the key to his girlfriend, saying, "Honey, happy birthday!"

In reality, it wasn't the woman's birthday today. Murong Pengfei just wanted to make a point and humiliate Gu Yunxi and Xiao Tianyu.

His girlfriend took the key and gave him a peck on the cheek, giggling, "Honey, you're so good to me. I've dreamed of living in this villa. Seeing Gu Yunxi come and go before, I was so envious. I never thought it would be mine now!"

Murong Pengfei's girlfriend, Liu Yue, wore a smug smile, as if humiliating Gu Yunxi was her greatest joy.

"Really despicable!" A girl at Gu Yunxi's table snorted, "Sister Yunxi, don't stoop to their level. She's clearly looking for trouble!"

"No worries!" Gu Yunxi waved it off, "It's just a house!"
