"You just said I don't deserve to be in this kind of place. What if I go in?"
"Jiang Wenze, you immediately kneel down and bark like a dog three times. How about that?"
Jiang Sheng picked at his ear, looking provocatively at Jiang Wenze across from him.
The surrounding commotion suddenly quieted for a few seconds, then erupted into laughter.
The situation of the Jiang Family was common knowledge in the Capital City, not to mention Jiang Sheng's consistently bad reputation.
He wasn't even qualified to attend ordinary banquets, let alone business banquets.
Now he dared to boast and make a bet with Jiang Wenze!
"Young Master Jiang, you're betting with him? Do you really think he can become a phoenix by entering the Chu Family?"
"I'm afraid he won't even know he died in the phoenix's nest, hahahaha!"
The crowd was full of mockery, but Jiang Sheng remained unfazed.
Jiang Wenze on the other hand began to panic.
This kid had such guts, could he have really latched onto that person from the Chu Family?
"I'll bet you. What if you lose?"
But with everyone watching, Jiang Wenze felt he couldn't back down and spoke, suppressing his unease.
Upon hearing this, Jiang Sheng grinned, straightened his back, and without even looking at them, walked straight towards the entrance of the business banquet.
The business banquet hall was luxurious and high-end. Several security guards at the entrance immediately stepped forward to check identities as someone approached.
To everyone's astonishment, Jiang Sheng directly produced the invitation given to him by Chu Li.
As soon as the conspicuous VVIP tag was displayed, the security guards immediately became professional.
"Oh, you are a friend of the Eldest Young Lady. The Eldest Young Lady specifically instructed us to reserve a spot for you in the inner hall. You're finally here, please!"
Several security guards bowed in unison, leaving the young masters and ladies stunned.
They had just been mocking Jiang Sheng for not being able to get into the outer area, and now he directly had qualifications for the inner hall!
The inner hall! That was a place they might never enter in their lifetime, no matter how hard they tried!
"This... how is this possible! Chu Li, that perverted woman, actually allowed him into the inner hall!"
"Could it be that Chu Li actually fancies him?"
A few people, their faces contorted with jealousy, guiltily hid behind Jiang Wenze.
Jiang Wenze's complexion was even worse than theirs.
He had begged his father for years, pulled many strings, and finally obtained the qualification to enter the inner hall.
And Jiang Sheng, he just walked in with a pretty face?!
Why him!
Jiang Sheng, watching their changing expressions, felt a surge of good humor. He picked up a pastry from inside the hall, ate it, and sauntered over, "Oh, what were you just saying?"
"If I lost? Heh... well, I'm sorry, there is no 'if'."
"I won. The bet just now, Jiang Wenze, you won't go back on your word, will you?"
As he spoke, Jiang Sheng even had a security guard bring over a stool.
He sat on it, crossed his legs, and looked at Jiang Wenze.
He wasn't in a hurry. Today, Jiang Wenze had no choice but to bark like a dog!
More and more people gathered to watch. Jiang Wenze's face turned ashen with anger, "Jiang Sheng, don't push your luck too far! Be careful I make sure you don't see tomorrow's sun!"
"Tomorrow's sun? Heh... Jiang Wenze, you're tired of living. You dare to threaten my people?"
Amidst Jiang Wenze's angry threats, a clear, melodious female voice suddenly rang out, full of swagger and freedom.
Jiang Sheng's crossed legs froze in place.
Lin Xiyue, dressed in a red trench coat and stomping in black high heels with red soles, strode over. The strong, alluring fragrance of the woman wafted as her beautiful, long, black curly hair swayed.
Even though her pretty face was filled with the suppressed rage before an outburst, the crowd was still mesmerized.
Until Lin Xiyue raised her hand.
"Slap!"
A fierce slap directly made Jiang Wenze's lips twitch.
Only then did the crowd snap back to reality and shuffle backward.
Although Lin Xiyue was beautiful, they couldn't forget the rumors of this Miss Lin being a "mad dog" in the social circles.
At the same time, they all shook their heads inwardly.
This Jiang Sheng's luck was too "good."
He had two such crazy women interested in him!
Jiang Wenze, who had been slapped for no reason, was about to get angry. But upon seeing it was Lin Xiyue, he immediately deflated, "Miss Lin, this Jiang Sheng was showing off here. I just wanted to teach him a lesson."
"Teach him? Does he concern you enough to teach him?!"
Lin Xiyue glared at him. Jiang Sheng secretly glanced towards the inner hall of the banquet.
Fortunately, that crazy woman Chu Li hadn't arrived yet.
Otherwise, he couldn't imagine what kind of world war would erupt if these two women met.
Lin Xiyue, like him, was also looking around.
Seeing that Chu Li was nowhere in sight, her mood inexplicably improved.
So, Jiang Sheng didn't have the ability to climb up to the Chu Family.
It seemed that he had deliberately spread the news to lure her here.
She knew it, Jiang Sheng could never leave her.
Everything he was doing now was just to get her attention.
"Jiang Sheng, it seems your body is more honest than your words."
Still saying he didn't like her?
Lin Xiyue arrogantly lifted her chin and snorted, "You waited for me here specially? You said you didn't want the qualification to enter the inner hall? Have you compromised now?"
Lin Xiyue's words were inexplicable. Jiang Sheng frowned, "Huh?"
He didn't quite understand what this woman was imagining.
Lin Xiyue didn't listen to his explanation at all. She saw the chair Jiang Sheng had brought over.
He had brought a stool and waited for her at the door?
"Hmph, I thought you had more backbone."
Lin Xiyue's beautiful eyes flashed with sparkling satisfaction, "Never mind. Since you can't let go of me, take my bag and come in with me."
She said, and as if it were natural, she shoved her bag directly into Jiang Sheng's hands.
Chu Li, observing from the second floor, tightened her grip on the wine glass.
"Lin Xiyue..."
It was truly unexpected.
Was she planning to play for real with this kid?
Lin Xiyue, who usually only indulged in pleasure and frequented the entertainment industry, was attending this business banquet for the first time.
She hadn't expected it was for this kid.
"Jiang Sheng."
Chu Li's thin lips pursed, her phoenix eyes revealing a coldness at the bottom, "You'd better remember your promise to me..."
After speaking, she finished the last sip of wine and looked at the server pouring drinks.
The server looked terrified and cautiously stepped forward to pour.
She really couldn't understand.
This Eldest Young Lady had been standing there, unmoving, drinking nearly half a bottle!
This was a Whiskey Sour!
Do rich people all get jealous easily?
Downstairs, the crowd now seemed to have a sudden realization.
"Jiang Sheng, so you asked Xiyue for help to get the qualification for the inner hall. You actually deceived me!"
Jiang Wenze attacked again, and the others also showed looks of contempt.
"What a simp. You almost fooled us!"
"Exactly, with his capability..."
Amidst the surrounding chatter, no one noticed the throbbing veins on Lin Xiyue's forehead.
Jiang Sheng, however, quietly took a step back and began counting in his heart.
Three,
Two,
One!
"When I'm talking to Jiang Sheng, it's not your turn to interrupt! He's my person. Who do you think you are?!"
Lin Xiyue exploded the moment he counted to one, snatched the bag from his hand, and threw it directly at the triumphant Jiang Wenze.
Jiang Wenze stumbled violently from the impact and retreated a step, ending up in the driveway.
Honk!
A BMW honked its horn and braked sharply in front of him.
Just an inch more, and Jiang Wenze would have been sent flying.
Everyone present fell silent. Jiang Wenze stood there, eyes wide and dazed.
"Tsk tsk, so brutal.\
