At the start, I had to choose one of four options, and I immediately picked the Brahmin from the cou

After a brief period of stillness, the atmosphere in the booth heated up again as the deafening bass from a top 100 DJ returned.

But within this fervor, there was clearly an unusual chemical reaction.

Under the dim, flickering laser lights, Chen Xiaoxue and Tang Tingting's eyes drifted almost undisguisedly to Gu Mingyuan, who was holding a whiskey in the corner, time and time again.

If their initial fervor for Zheng Hao and Wang Lei, these rich second-generation heirs, stemmed from their desire for money...

At this moment, Gu Mingyuan's effortless command of power and his absolute authority over life and death, stemming from his top-tier family background, completely made these female college students, who were just entering the world of fame and fortune, feel what the allure of power truly meant.

It's a hallucinogen that makes your legs go weak even more than just banknotes.

Lin Miaomiao nestled in Zheng Hao's arms, taking in the whole scene as well.

Her heart was pounding, but she was much more clear-headed than her roommates. She was well aware of her own limitations; a man of Gu Mingyuan's caliber was like the sun hanging in the clouds—you could look at him, but anyone who dared to recklessly reach out and touch him would be burned to ashes.

In contrast, clinging tightly to Zheng Hao, her cash cow, and incidentally becoming a familiar face in the circle of Jianye's top celebrities is the optimal solution to maximize her benefits at this stage.

"Haohao, your friend is really amazing."

Lin Miaomiao, being extremely sensible, didn't pay too much attention to Gu Mingyuan. Instead, she looked up at Zheng Hao with an expression full of admiration and lingering fear.

"I was terrified when that bad guy rushed over, thank goodness you were here."

This statement subtly soothed Zheng Hao's slightly bruised masculinity caused by Gu Mingyuan's intervention. A surge of warmth rose in Zheng Hao's heart, and he tightened his grip on her waist, coldly laughing with an air of arrogance, "What are you afraid of? In Jianye, as long as it's my place, even the King of Heaven himself can't touch my woman."

On the other side, Tang Tingting and Chen Xiaoxue quickly abandoned their unrealistic fantasies and began to go all out to achieve their predetermined goals.

Tang Tingting understood the essence of the "pure and seductive" style. Unlike the escorts in nightclubs who would directly cling to Zhou Yu, she held a glass of very low-alcohol fruit wine and looked at Zhou Yu's chest muscles that were about to burst out of his T-shirt with an almost innocent gaze.

Every now and then, the crowd around them would inadvertently brush against his arm, causing Zhou Yu, a muscular man who had just broken up with his girlfriend and was not particularly cunning, to blush. Even drinking several mouthfuls of ice water couldn't quell the heat in his heart.

Chen Xiaoxue, on the other hand, used a completely different approach. Relying on her striking red deep-V dress and alluring figure, she held a glass of champagne and started playing dice with Wang Lei. When she lost, she would cheerfully down her drink; when she won, she would coquettishly make Wang Lei drink three glasses in a row.

Wang Lei, a second-generation rich kid, loves girls who are outgoing, a little wild, and beautiful and sexy. The two of them clinked glasses and laughed non-stop. Wang Lei's hand, which was wearing a green Submariner, had unknowingly landed on the back of Chen Xiaoxue's fair chair.

As for Wang Yali and Zhou Xin, they were like two invisible outsiders, trembling as they sat on the very edge of the booth, holding juice in their hands, not daring to touch a single drop of alcohol. They had only one task now.

Be a good backdrop and shield for Lin Miaomiao.

Just as the atmosphere in the V01 Black Card booth was getting better and better.

The heavy, soundproof door of SPACE bar was respectfully opened by security personnel, and a gust of early winter wind, mixed with the strong scent of Chanel No. 5, rushed in.

Xu Manman, wearing a pair of extremely flamboyant red-soled stilettos and a white eco-friendly fur coat over a deep V-neck, backless, super-short bodycon dress studded with Swarovski crystals, strode aggressively into this decadent den of debauchery.

Xu Manman's domineering behavior at Jianye Art Academy was not just a bluff.

Her family is indeed wealthy.

Her father, Xu Baoguo, was one of the earliest businessmen in Jianye City to start as a medical device agent. Later, he caught the wave of the medical aesthetics industry and opened several chain private medical aesthetics and plastic surgery hospitals in the province.

Her father's views coincided with those of Sun Kai's father. One believed in the proper order of seniority, while the other felt that once a daughter was married, she was no longer considered a daughter, and that he would only give her a dowry after she got married.

With a monthly allowance starting at 100,000 yuan, a Porsche 718 registered in her name, and the arrogance built up from childhood by money, she became accustomed to being the center of attention at the art academy.

Although most of these belonged to her brother and only a small portion was hers, it was enough for Xu Manman to live a princess-like life among ordinary college students.

However, this indulgence has also fostered the current state of Xu.

This afternoon, Lin Miaomiao publicly humiliated her at Hair Code, which was the biggest humiliation she had ever suffered in her life.

After returning home, she couldn't swallow her anger any longer. She dug out the most expensive and most lethal outfit from her wardrobe, determined to get her revenge at SPACE that night.

"Manman, are we really going to go to booth V01 to cause trouble for Lin Miaomiao?" The other two roommates behind her were a little apprehensive as they looked at the deafening scene in SPACE and the black-clad bodyguards everywhere.

"Looking for bad luck? Ha, you underestimate me."

Xu Manman casually tossed the white eco-friendly fur coat to her roommate behind her, revealing a large expanse of her snow-white back and an unfathomable cleavage. Under the refraction of the laser lights, her whole body shimmered with dazzling diamond-like light.

"Tonight, I'm not only going to expose Lin Miaomiao's true colors, but I'm also going to make that Zheng Hao and all his brothers with assets exceeding 100 million fall at my feet right in front of her! I'll let her know that even a pheasant dressed in a dragon robe is only fit to carry the shoes of a phoenix!"

Looking towards the best and most central spot in the entire venue, Xu Manman's gaze instantly locked onto the huge U-shaped wraparound black card booth—V01—directly in front of the dance floor.

When she saw who was sitting in the booth, her pupils suddenly contracted.

Although she wasn't familiar with Zheng Hao, she could tell from his current high-end fashion brand outfit and the Patek Philippe on his wrist that he was definitely a lucrative target.

Although the fat guy next to him (Wang Lei) was vulgar, you could smell his nouveau riche air even from ten meters away.

That muscular guy (Zhou Yu) was bursting with hormones.

What made Xu Manman's heart skip a beat was the man sitting in the far corner of the booth.

Gu Mingyuan.

It really was Gu Mingyuan.
