"Since it's for people to walk, why can't I?"
Attendant: "…"
Did he forget to check the almanac before leaving today?
There was an unknown big shot in front of him, and now there was someone looking for trouble.
"Sir, you can go that way." The attendant gestured for him to go through another passage.
"Why?"
Shi Sheng couldn't bear to look at him.
Was this guy really a villain?
Aiyo, what a disgrace to the villain!
Look at Yin Mo's appearance just now. That was the proper way for a villain to appear, alright?
You're asking a hundred thousand whys over there, so down-to-earth. What's the meaning of that?
Pei!
That idiot Yu Jiu was here.
Hurry up and run.
Only then did Shi Sheng remember what he was here to do and left.
Seeing Shi Sheng run, Yu Jiu didn't bother to argue with the attendant and chased after him.
Attendant: "…"
Was there something wrong with this kid?
He was such a good-looking kid, so how could he be a retard?
Shi Sheng was fast, but Yu Jiu wasn't slow either. Soon, he blocked Shi Sheng's path.
"Xiaoxia-meimei, am I that scary to run away as soon as you see me?" Yu Jiu's breathing was steady, but his gaze was dangerous.
"I'm afraid I won't be able to resist beating you up." Shi Sheng spoke the truth.
Yu Jiu's two dimples appeared. "Beating is a sign of affection and scolding is a sign of love. Xiaoxia-meimei's way of expressing love is a little hard to understand, but I'll try my best to endure it."
Endure your grandpa!
Shi Sheng: "…" As expected, he really wanted to beat him up.
Shi Sheng's hands were itchy. He grabbed Yu Jiu and tossed him into a nearby bush for a round of beating.
The passersby looked at the swaying bushes and the faintly discernible silhouettes. "…"
People nowadays were too shameless. Although it was night time, to act like this on the main road was too immoral.
… …
After beating up Yu Jiu, Shi Sheng was prepared to leave. However, that lousy system actually gave him a chain mission, so Shi Sheng beat Yu Jiu up once more.
Shi Sheng and Yu Jiu returned to the venue. Yu Jiu didn't know where he went to change his clothes, but he suddenly looked much taller.
"Xiaoxia-meimei, am I the most handsome person here?" Yu Jiu raised his brows at Shi Sheng.
Handsome.
The cricket of crickets.
Shi Sheng took three steps away from him with a look of disgust.
Her Feng Ci was definitely not a retard.
Absolute! Yes! No! Yes!
There were many young people in the venue, and it was much livelier than a wine party for adults.
The elders of the family brought their children around in front of those people to familiarize themselves with them.
Kids like Shi Sheng, who didn't know where their meal ticket had gone, could only stand aside and watch.
Yu Jiu didn't seem to have much of a presence. No one came up to talk to him.
Look at Wen Jingxuan, there are so many people around him.
Was Yu Jiu no longer the villain?
Otherwise, why would his presence be so weak?
The appearance of the villain should be awesome. Only then would it be in line with the novel.
Why the f * ck are you being so low-key?
"Mr. Yu."
Just as Shi Sheng was daydreaming, a blonde foreigner came over with a glass of red wine and called out in broken Chinese.
Yu Jiu casually glanced at the foreigner. "Is something the matter?"
"I'm sorry to disturb you, Mr. Yu … It's about that matter. I would like to mediate with you."
The foreigner's Chinese was really bad, and he had to pause for a long time after each sentence.
Yu Jiu put an arm around Shi Sheng's shoulders and pushed him in front of him. "If you can get my little sister XiaoXia to speak, I'll agree to your proposal."
Shi Sheng: "…" What the hell?
What was this guy doing?
F * ck, little childhood friend, what are you trying to do?
The foreigner glanced at Shi Sheng, his brows furrowed.
In the end, he nodded at Yu Jiu and retreated into the group of foreigners. He began to converse with them in low voices, occasionally glancing in Shi Sheng's direction.
"Little sister XiaoXia, when they come looking for you in a bit, you can scold them as much as you want. Don't worry, I'll be your backer." Yu Jiu tilted his head and whispered into Shi Sheng's ear.
"What are you doing?" Shi Sheng's gaze fell on the group of foreigners. Two of them had strong auras and were clearly not ordinary people. Not to mention, their waists were bulging.
In a situation like this …
They were actually carrying guns.
Hey, there's someone here illegally carrying a gun.
Yu Jiu's eyes curved as he leaned closer to Shi Sheng. "If little sister XiaoXia wants to know, then go find the answer yourself."
Shi Sheng threw Yu Jiu a look that said he was an idiot. "Aren't you afraid they'll deal with me?"
It was obvious that those people weren't good people, yet this idiot actually dared to push her out.
Yu Jiu took a drink from the waiter's tray and handed it to Shi Sheng. "Little sister XiaoXia is much stronger than them, right?"
He blinked at Shi Sheng. His face, which was still young, was very cute.
So adorable that one couldn't help but want to pinch him a few times.
He suddenly lowered his head, his warm breath brushing against Shi Sheng's cheek. "Little sister XiaoXia, don't worry. As long as I'm here, no one will dare touch you."
"There are plenty of people who would dare to touch me." Shi Sheng frowned and retreated to the side.
Do you think the luck of the male and female leads is just for show?
Shi Sheng had just thought of the male lead when he saw Yin Mo talking to the foreigners.
Since they were too far away, he couldn't hear what they were saying.
He could only tell from their facial expressions that they weren't having a pleasant conversation.
Yu Jiu took a sip of champagne, his gaze landing on the crowd. It wasn't clear who he was looking at.
Shi Sheng glanced at him from the corner of his eye, his mind racing.
There were too few useful clues, so Shi Sheng couldn't piece together the whole story for now.
In the end, he could only give up.
Yin Mo and the foreigners talked for about five minutes before leaving. The foreigners hesitated for a long time before finally sending out the representative from earlier to walk over to them.
But before he could get close, Shen Jiayin popped out of nowhere and bumped into the foreigner.
"Sorry, I dirtied your clothes." Shen Jiayin pointed at the drink stains on the foreigner's clothes, her expression apologetic.
"It's … it's okay." The foreigner probably didn't want to complicate matters and wanted to continue walking over to Shi Sheng.
But Shen Jiayin kept pestering him to apologize.
While the two of them were delayed, Yu Jiu had already led Shi Sheng elsewhere.
By the time he looked again, they were already gone. At this moment, the host started speaking.
"Cough cough … Thank you, everyone, for taking the time out of your busy schedules to attend today's cocktail party …"
On the stage that had been empty all this time, a person was standing there, holding a microphone and speaking.
The people below immediately quieted down and looked up.
The opening speech was always full of nonsense. After listening for about five to six minutes, he finally got to the point.
"… Everyone knows why we're here today. Then, would the children who wish to participate please stand in front. We'll be testing your basic skills in a bit."
As soon as the man's voice fell, some parents pushed their children forward.
But most of them didn't move.
They were only using this opportunity to bring their children out to broaden their horizons. They were well aware of whether their children had the talent or not, so they didn't want to embarrass themselves by sending themselves up.
Only those who had some foundation in stone gambling dared to send themselves forward.
