We agreed it was just a hug, why did you actually do it?

Su Weile didn't eat much before slipping out under the pretext of going to the restroom.

As soon as he turned the corner, he noticed a large balcony along the corridor, so he drew back the floor-to-ceiling curtains and went over. The balcony was filled with many tall plants and a deck chair. Su Weile sat in the deck chair, surrounded by tall plants, feeling as if he were in a quiet little world, which was very comfortable.

Su Weile looked up at the sky and thought that the sky over Jinhai was not as beautiful as that over Yanshan.

The three people from the banquet returned from the restroom and saw the open floor-to-ceiling curtains. They stopped, pulled the curtains open a little, leaned against the wall and started smoking.

"Tang Shaowu has really come out on top! Back then, he was an outcast of the Tang family, but now he's doing incredibly well and is one of the top figures in Jinhai, right? Did you all see Old Master Huo's summons just now? The Tang family members' faces turned purple."

Another person asked in confusion, "Why do you say Tang Shaowu is an outcast of the Tang family? I don't think Tang Shaowu is here representing the Tang family today."

With his outstanding abilities, shouldn't he be highly valued by the Tang family patriarch? Everyone knows the Tang family patriarch; he has dedicated his entire life to ensuring the Tang family remains among the top six families in Jinhai.

"Sigh, this must be the entanglement between Tang Shaowu's parents and the current Jiang family. But I remember that after Tang Shaowu's mother passed away, Tang Shaowu was still in the Tang family. We don't know why he was suddenly abandoned and then returned to Jiangcheng."

In short, his return from Jiangcheng was truly meteoric. Now, let me tell you, I've heard his power surpasses even that of the Huo family. Look at the Huo family's attitude towards him today—it's clearly a gesture of goodwill."

"Then Mr. Tang should be happy. After all, Tang Shaowu is a descendant of the Tang family, and he can definitely help him achieve his grand ambitions."

The other two burst out laughing. "You really came later? Don't you know who Tang Shaowu is? And you're helping the Tang family? The Tang family is most afraid of Tang Shaowu right now."

He could wipe out the Tang family if he's displeased. Let me tell you, everyone in the industry knows that you absolutely cannot offend Tang Shaowu; he's a ruthless killer.

The voice became a little softer. "Hey? Have you heard? Tang Huai'an brought his son Tang Yi, dressed to the nines, to try and build relationships with several powerful families today. They were having a great time just now, but as soon as Tang Shaowu appeared and sat at the head table, you all saw it, right? Those families stopped paying attention to the Tang father and son."

The three of them quietly puffed on their cigarettes for a while before starting to chat again. "But the boy that Young Master Tang brought today is quite interesting. He has a certain charm that's captivating."

Another person exhaled a heavy puff of smoke and said, "You should be careful. Is that someone you can hire? But it seems that Young Master Tang has never officially brought anyone out before. And this one doesn't look like one of those minor stars he brought out before. He was just someone brought out to pave the way for the entertainment company. This one looks like someone close to him, there's a sense of intimacy between them."

The other man, still looking puzzled, asked, "Who is Young Master Tang?"

"Oh dear, who knows? He's never had any information about this before. We're not familiar with them. We can't really connect with them. But his childhood friend, the only son of the Yan family, definitely is."

After finishing their cigarettes, the group chatted and laughed for a while about Xinyue's situation that had just occurred that day. Since they all knew that Xinyue was a minor celebrity that Tang Yi had recently been keeping, they also took the opportunity to tease Tang Yi. Only then did they reluctantly walk away.

Su Weile kept gazing at the sky, processing what she had just heard and the ambiguous laughter from everyone at the dinner table.

Su Weile was somewhat shocked. He wondered if it was because this was a common situation in this circle, since people with money usually indulge in extravagant lifestyles.

So you misunderstood them after seeing him attend with Tang Shaowu? Or do they just seem a bit odd together?

Footsteps sounded behind him again. Su Weile ignored them, but the footsteps continued until they stopped, and then a familiar voice rang out, "Su Weile!"

Su Weile turned around abruptly. "How did you know I was here? I was hiding so well."

Tang Shaowu didn't answer, but quietly looked at him and said, "What are you doing here? Why don't you go back?"

Su Weile smiled and said, "I don't know anyone. You were called away by someone else, so I came out for some fresh air."

Tang Shaowu looked at Su Weile's smile and asked, "Unhappy? Why?"

"Oh, I'm not upset. Okay, let's go back together."

Su Weile decided to stop thinking about it. Why let other people's words affect him? What his relationship with Tang Shaowu was none of anyone else's business. They were just good friends. If others didn't believe him, so be it. This young master didn't care.

Back in the brightly lit Chinese restaurant, the atmosphere was still lively, but many people had already left their tables, some chatting in twos and threes, others moving to the tea table to enjoy tea.

This time, Tang Shaowu brought Su Weile with him and continued to drink tea and chat with the eldest son of the Huo family.

When the elderly in the family had finished chatting and were a little tired, they prepared to leave, and everyone got up to see them off.

After a brief exchange of pleasantries, the older folks gradually left, leaving only the younger generation, and the atmosphere instantly became lively again.

Everyone was making plans to go to the bar and have some fun, when a young master who was somewhat familiar with Tang Shaowu called out, "Young Master Tang, we're going to a bar to have some fun, what do you say?"

Tang Shaowu smiled faintly and said, "Go ahead, have fun however you want, it's all on me."

A cheer erupted, and everyone surged out, as if they had been waiting for this moment all day.

Tang Yi, his face grim, followed the others out, his anger burning within him.

Su Weile frowned and said, "It's not like it's your birthday party, why should you treat us?"

Tang Shaowu smiled and patted his head, saying, "Because the Prince Consort's Manor is mine."

Su Weile was stunned by Tang Shaowu's words and stood there for a long time. Tang Shaowu looked at his stupid look and pulled him out.

Su Weile said in disbelief, "Then, so last time I essentially went to your house and beat you up?"

Tang Shaowu showed the first genuine smile of the night because of Su Weile's words.

Everyone had already left. Tang Shaowu gave Su Weile a tight hug and said earnestly...

"Su Weile, you must always be by my side."

Su Weile's heart trembled violently.

Once you arrive at the bar, the atmosphere becomes completely relaxed. Most people come with a partner, and those who don't are prepared to find one on the spot.

This bar is the most popular one, with a great atmosphere and high quality. Most importantly, it hosts many popular singers and actresses who have performed here.

Initially, because it was the bar owned by the owner of Starry Sky Entertainment, the company's trainees used it as a place to gain stage experience and would perform there. Moreover, the people who frequented the bar were all wealthy and influential, and some young people looking for shortcuts also used it as their base.

And so, the bar's reputation grew, attracting regulars from celebrities, aspiring young men and women, dignitaries, directors, talent scouts, and agents alike.

Tang Shaowu led Su Weile directly to the second floor, which was the VIP area. There were private rooms with partitions on the left and right, but the front was open, allowing a view of the entire first floor and the stage.

Su Weile settled into her private room and couldn't help but look down, thinking to herself, "Wow, there are so many people."

Suddenly, Su Weile spotted a familiar figure in the crowd: Yu Changning.

There was another figure pulling and tugging at him, and it was none other than—Jin Fei.
