Chapter 235 Yao Meis birthday banquet (2)
Of course, the three newcomers were Xie Feng, Gu Qianxue, and Xie Yao.
Xie Feng wore an elegant black suit and a white shirt, his hair styled elegantly but with a somewhat messy look, giving him a neat but at the same time somewhat wild appearance. His handsome face coupled with his naturally toned body was a fatal attraction for any woman. Even he himself was a little surprised at what an expensive suit and some styling cream could do to people.
After getting ready, Xie Feng asked Gu Pojun to lend him the least flashy car possible but at the same time not to be teased, so Gu Pojun handed Xie Feng the keys to the Audi A10 Sedan.
After saying goodbye to Gu Qianxue’s parents, Xie Feng drove to the place indicated by the car’s GPS to arrive at the Yao Family residence; the place where the birthday banquet would be held.
As for Gu Pojun and Fang Yanran, both would arrive an hour or two later.... Gu Qianxue’s mother was probably still mad at her husband.
"Wao... This house really is big. Maybe a little too big." Xie Yao exclaimed a little surprised but not without losing the elegance that was instilled in her since she was young.
Xie Feng looked at the mansion in front of him and shrugged, "It’s no big deal. Later I’ll show you a mansion several times more luxurious and bigger than this one."
Of course, the mansion Xie Feng was talking about was his mansion in the virtual world. However, although it was a mansion in the virtual world, its value was not at all inferior to what it would be worth in the real world.... On the contrary, it could be even more valuable!
"Okay." Xie Yao nodded with a smile. Since Xie Feng said so, then she would naturally believe it.
"Looks like someone likes to talk big."
At that moment, a somewhat mocking male voice reached the ears of the three of them from the side.
Xie Feng looked towards the source of the voice and saw a group consisting of about five or six young men; three women and three men. After a quick inspection, Xie Feng knew that the younger and more handsome man of the two was the person who had talked before. As for the reason that Xie Feng knew it was because of the somewhat proud and arrogant face the young man had.
"You’re talking to me?" Xie Feng smiled in fun and asked the young man.
"Ah, I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to tease you..... By the way, my name is Lin Tian, eldest son of the Lin Family. I don’t know if I have the honor of knowing who this gentleman and these two beautiful ladies are?" Lin Tian smiled elegantly and slowly approached.
The rest of his companions followed him. While the women were inspecting Xie Feng, the men were naturally looking at the beauties as well.... Although fortunately, there were no lustful glances.....
"Me? Oh, my name is Xie Feng. No parents. Student of Shanghai University. No job. My family runs a small wine business." Xie Feng casually introduced himself, which caused Xie Yao and Gu Qianxue to laugh softly. Although Xie Feng was not lying, he was clearly teasing Lin Tian by giving such vague and imprecise information.
Small wine business? Nonsense! If the Xie Family’s company was just a small wine business, then why would so many powerful families greed for such a business?
Lin Tian smiled slightly and with a touch of mockery in his voice, he remarked, "I see. Then the friend here is called Xie Feng. Although my family is mainly in the political field, we also have several businesses. But if friend Xie Feng wishes, I can introduce some big shots to you."
"Since your Lin Family is big, I guess the education within it must be quite good. Then, you should know that to show respect, you should call me ’old brother Xie Feng’. Come on, don’t be embarrassed. Give it a try." Xie Feng looked Lin Tian in the eyes and said with a serious face.
Pfft!
Mu Yin suddenly couldn’t help but laugh. She was the only one who hadn’t kept her gaze fixed on Xie Feng and the reason was because she had recognized Gu Qianxue who was standing next to him. After hearing the handsome young man talked, she immediately knew that he was playing with Lin Tian; after all, from Mu Yin’s point of view, it was impossible for someone who could stand next to Gu Qianxue to be a normal person. Even if Xie Feng was just a bodyguard hired by the Gu Family, he should be a very powerful Esper and that alone was worthy of respect.
On the other hand, Lin Tian’s face became somewhat ugly and when he heard Mu Yin laugh, he felt that he had lost a lot of face. However, he couldn’t make a scene here since it was the home of the girl he liked, therefore, in an attempt to change the topic, he smiled, "By the way, Xie Feng. You said your family is in the wine business? As it turns out, I just remembered a major company that ascended at rocket speed in the market."
"Oh? I wonder which company little brother Lin is talking about." Xie Feng smiled politely and asked.
Lin Tian took a deep breath and ignored the way Xie Feng was referring to him. As he looked at Xie Yao and Gu Qianxue, he said with some pride, "Of course, I’m talking about Magnificent Sky Corp. I wonder if you’ve heard of this company? Magnificent Sky Corporation makes the finest and most exquisite wines in all of China, that’s 100% sure. My Lin Family is having a talk with the CEO to buy their wine formula. If you and these two beauties would like, we can exchange contact to chat more in depth."
Xie Yao: "..."
Gu Qianxue: "..."
Xie Feng: "..."
The three of them were stunned. Xie Feng and Xie Yao looked at Lin Tian with wide eyes, blinking several times.
Lin Tian, thinking he had achieved his goal of surprising the beauties, stuck out his chest and adjusted his tie while smiling slightly. Not only him, everyone, including Mu Yin thought so.
Of course, they had no way of knowing that the reaction of the three of them was due to something completely different.
’What the fuck? Since when is your Lin Family having a conversation with the CEO of Magnificent Sky Corp...? Your family never talked to me! I say, little brother Lin, aren’t you too shameless?’ That was what Xie Feng felt like saying to Lin Tian. Of course, Xie Feng kept up his act and didn’t say his thoughts out loud.
"*Cough*... Well, we’d better go in. Little brother Lin Tian, Junior Sisters, Junior Brothers, I’ll leave you my card just in case." Xie Feng coughed and without waiting for anyone’s response, he took out several cards from his suit.
After handing over the cards, Xie Feng turned around and left with the two beauties. No one had time to react.
When Lin Tian and his group reacted, Xie Feng and the two beauties had already disappeared inside the mansion.
"Heh... Country boy." Lin Tian couldn’t help but scoff. Curious, he looked at the card in his hands and read aloud, "Magnificent Sky Corp. CEO: Xie Feng. Personal Contact: XXX-XXX-XXX."
...
Everyone fell silent. Mu Yin gave Lin Tian a strange look as she held back the urge to laugh.
As for Lin Tian, his face turned ugly as the bottom of a pot. How could he not realize that Xie Feng had been playing him like a little kid all this time?
"You fucking bastard! This isn’t going to stay like this!" Lin Tian clenched his teeth and cursed as he looked at the direction in which Xie Feng had disappeared.

To Xie Feng, Xie Yao, and Gu Qianxue, what happened earlier was just an interlude unworthy of mention. In fact, the only reason Xie Feng wasted some of his time with the group of students was because Lin Tian tried to tease him on more than one occasion.
As they appreciated the decorations of the place, Gu Qianxue told him about who the Lin Family was and how few things she knew about Lin Tian. After learning who he was, Xie Feng gave him even less importance. Xie Feng dared to go against the five strongest families in China, let alone one that was in the top twenty.
If Lin Tian left it at that, then fine. Otherwise...
"Sir, ladies, please allow me your invitation." A butler dressed in an elegant suit stopped Xie Feng’s group, with a polite and friendly smile.
Although they had already passed the checkpoint, it seemed that it was still not enough. Xie Feng found it strange... After all, why was the Yao Family being so cautious?
Gu Qianxue quietly handed the invitation to the butler and, as he inspected it, Xie Feng released several gusts of gentle wind throughout the manor.
The security was really tight. There were hundreds of armed guards hiding in the shadows and mingling among the guests. Xie Feng even discovered more than twenty skill users secretly inspecting the people, ready to attack at any moment. Clearly, the Yao Family was really being cautious during this event.
Xie Feng didn’t think it was strange considering that the people here were too important and if something bad happened to one of them, even the Yao Family would suffer to give an explanation.
But, just as he was about to stop investigating, he discovered something interesting in one of the rooms.
