After five bigwigs in Beijing's elite circle fell into their trap, I fled.

Chapter 84 Changing Parents

Not far from the social gathering, a large inflatable obstacle course resembling an outdoor water adventure has been set up in Wangyue Lake.

Staff are setting up detailed checkpoints.

Under a giant parasol by the lake, at an exquisite camping table, Li Yubai, Ning Yunzhan, Rong Jingchen, and Yan Yu leisurely opened a bottle of top-quality red wine and drank.

To say it's harmonious is an understatement.

They maintained a clear distance from each other, and their eyes were filled with wariness and disdain when they looked at each other.

But it wouldn't be accurate to call it disharmonious. Ning Yunzhan was mixing fruit wine for Jiang Shu, Li Yubai was diligently making a fruit platter for Jiang Shu, Yan Yu had picked up a guitar and was practicing the song she would sing to Jiang Shu later; Rong Jingchen was also busy, shelling a bunch of various nuts, intending to give Jiang Shu, who was about to take the college entrance exam, a boost to her brainpower.

"Peel some more. Through our short time together, I've always felt that my sugar daddy's thought process is a bit different from others, and he needs to learn more about it." Ning Yunzhan thoughtfully tossed another bag of nuts over.

Rong Jingchen glanced at him indifferently, then looked at the large equipment in the water: "Is this what you meant by... bathing in the river of love?"

Li Yubai pondered, "With Master Jiang's skills, this kind of challenge is not challenging at all."

Ning Yunzhan smiled slightly: "Do you really think we're supposed to play like monkeys, going through levels one by one?"

Several people gave him questioning looks.

Ning Yunzhan raised an eyebrow meaningfully: "The real purpose of this game is to let you all show off your unique skills and perform a wet and seductive act in front of the big boss."

Yan Yu's face flushed red: "You're sick."

“Yan Yu, you’re still too young,” Ning Yunzhan sighed. “These days, a pretty face can only win you fleeting infatuation. Truly skilled hunters often appear as prey… To get a sugar daddy to actively target you, to hunt you down, to go to great lengths to win you over, those who will always cherish you more…”

Li Yubai swirled the wine in his glass: "Master Jiang just mentioned that you have no romantic feelings... I didn't expect you to be so adept at love and romance."

“The cloud hosts countless team-building events every year, with emotionally-oriented events making up the majority. Just watching them gives me a lot of experience points,” Ning Yunzhan said matter-of-factly. “If it weren’t for the fact that our patron is still young, I could arrange hundreds of exciting games for you.”

Li Yubai's expression turned slightly cold: "Master Jiang is no ordinary person. Don't use the vulgar methods you use to deal with those women outside."

Ning Yunzhan became serious: "Our patron is naturally different from others—so, apart from the slightly ambiguous wet show in the first round, the subsequent clean water events will be a true test of strength."

Yan Yu's personal cell phone suddenly rang with a special notification tone.

"My sister messaged me." He was a little surprised.

Li Yubai and the others looked over: "What did you say?"

After reading the message, Yan Yu stood up and began to prepare herself fully: "There's been a problem at the social gathering next door. She wants me to go and replace that sickly guy FY..."

"why are you?"

"Maybe I'm more obedient?" The boy smiled freely and strode away.

……

A scene of a parent-teacher association meeting.

"Today's parent-child game is related to poetry. Parents will act out the poems, and students will guess. Five families will form a group, and the group that finishes in the shortest time will win a 'Scholar's Gift Box'..."

The consultant quickly divided everyone into groups, and Jiang Shu and Feng Li, as the first members of the first group, quickly stood in the game area.

Jiang Shu and Feng Li stood facing each other, three meters apart.

Feng Li stood under a peach tree with fallen petals, his peach blossom eyes glancing indifferently at the poem title held up by the staff behind Jiang Shu: "A poem to describe me."

Jiang Shu almost reflexively recited a whole bunch of things:

"A noble young master from the clouds, with jade-like bones and an elegant demeanor."

"Radiant as the morning sun floating on water, serene as a gentle breeze combing the willow branches."

Feng Li was pleased and smiled slightly: "Baby, think about it again."

"Thinking of the gentleman, his gentleness is like jade. In his humble dwelling, he stirs my heart..."

"Whose young man is that on the road, so dashing and charming..."

Feng Li's eyes sparkled, and she slightly raised her enchanting chin: "Well said, continue."

The parents in line behind couldn't stand it anymore: "Hey handsome, you can't just stand there and say a simple sentence. You need to use body language and elaborate on the content of the poem." Feng Li gave him a cold look: "I'm happy to."

Jiang Shu: "..."

Jiang Shu continued, "A gentleman of noble character, refined and polished, like jade being cut and polished, like stone being carved and refined?"

"His face is as smooth as cream, his eyes as black as lacquer; is he a celestial being?"

"Back then, I was young and wore a thin spring robe. Riding a horse, I leaned against a slanting bridge, surrounded by red sleeves beckoning me from the tower?"

Feng Li: "No. Guess again."

Jiang Shu: "...Whose young man is Bai Yu, turning his carriage to cross the Tianjin River? He gazes at the flowers on the eastern path, startling the people of Luoyang?"

"Teeth woven like shells, lips gleaming like crimson?"

"A beauty that could topple kingdoms, neither flower nor mist, a lone figure strolling through ten miles of spring breeze?"

"A beauty unparalleled through the ages, a pleasing sight indeed. A face that could topple kingdoms and cities, astonishing the world?"

Feng Li: "I love listening, continue..."

……

Seeing that several groups had already finished their relays, while Jiang Shu's group was still stuck with her and Feng Li, not to mention others, even Jiang Shu herself couldn't stand it anymore.

"Ah Li! If you don't cooperate properly, I'll switch to Ah Yu."

"Where have I been indecent? Have I ever said anything indecent? — To utter such frivolous and dissolute words as 'a brothel full of beauties,' you are clearly the indecent one."

Jiang Shu: "..."

Looking at the resentful queue behind them, the consultant couldn't help but speak up: "It's not about looks, it's about physical constitution... How about we just let you pass this round and let the next group take over?"

Jiang Shu was quite embarrassed: "I'm sorry! So... what poem is it?"

The counselor gestured for her to look back.

Jiang Shu turned around and saw a staff member holding up a huge sign with a poem on it, his arm aching from holding it up. On the sign, the line "It's not that spring in Jiangnan is not good, but every year illness and deterioration diminish my mood" was extremely eye-catching.

"Teacher!" Jiang Shu looked at the counselor, "Can I change my parents now?"

The counselor was overjoyed: "Of course!"

……

As the tall, long-legged swallow, its entire body covered in dense coverings, strode in from afar, Feng Li was carrying a basket, preparing to pick peach blossoms from the nearby peach grove.

Their figures crossed paths, their eyes meeting briefly before looking away.

"There are many troublemakers, so protect her."

"You still need to tell me?"

Yan Yu's clear eyes, seemingly untouched by worldly dust, finally showed a hint of worldly concerns when he looked at Jiang Shu. He strode towards Jiang Shu, his tone tinged with affection:

"Sister, I'm here."

Yan Yu's fan base is so vast that it encompasses almost 80% of the people who have ever passed through Jiang Shu's life. At today's social gathering, almost all the women are deeply in love with this top celebrity in the entertainment industry, and some of them have such discerning eyes that they could recognize him even if he were reduced to ashes.

"Wow—that height! That aura! That profile! How come he looks so much like my husband?"

"No way... I know his schedule better than I know a textbook! He should be in Shanghai right now filming a music video, and then fly to France an hour later to attend an awards ceremony."

"But this person really looks like him! My heart almost jumped out the moment he got close!"

"No way... Look at the way this young man looks at Jiang, it's so charming! Our Yan Yu husband will never be able to do that."

……

Amidst the surprised and uncertain gazes of many, Yan Yu stood confidently in front of Jiang Shu and introduced herself to everyone: "Hello everyone, I am..."
