"My goodness, it's Fang Mingsheng, the head of the Fang family!"
From within the crowd, the man who had just spoken up for Er Zhu recognized him instantly, exclaiming with wide eyes.
Hearing the name, everyone was even more shocked!
The Fang family was the pinnacle of high society, a presence they normally wouldn't even get to see!
However, among them, Er Zhu remained calm, his eyes unrippled.
This guy actually knew Fang Mingsheng, no wonder he was so arrogant!
"Cousin, you're just in time. This pretty boy dared to cause trouble at the hotel!"
*Slap!*
Before Fang Mingli could finish speaking, Fang Mingsheng's palm landed on his face!
Fang Mingli, covering his red and swollen cheek, looked at Fang Mingsheng with anger and disbelief.
As one of the few younger members of the Fang family, he had the best relationship with his cousin!
He thought his cousin would help him, but he never expected his cousin to hit him!
"Apologize to Mr. Wang!"
Fang Mingsheng offered no explanation, merely looking at Fang Mingli with cold eyes as he gave the order.
No one knew the reason, but he was very clear!
To get revenge, he had been meticulously planning to get close to Wang Er Zhu during this time, but Fang Mingli, this idiot, had offended him!
This brat deserved to die!
A hint of killing intent flashed in Fang Mingsheng's cold gaze, and the temperature in the hall instantly dropped to its lowest point!
This made the onlookers who had wanted to ask questions dare not say anything more, and some even left in fear!
"What did you say? He's just a kept man by some rich young lady. Why should I apologize to him!"
Fang Mingli looked at Fang Mingsheng in disbelief, his eyes burning with even greater anger!
When did his cousin become so cowardly, actually fearing people like Wang Xiaomei and Lin Qingqing!
"He's not a kept man, he's Luo Feng, the richest man in the capital!"
Faced with Fang Mingli's questioning, Fang Mingsheng became even more furious. If he could, he would have loved to slap him to death!
"What? He's actually Luo Feng!"
"That's right, I remember now! Luo Feng is using the name Wang Er Zhu for revenge!"
"Oh my god, I actually have the honor of seeing Luo Feng, this is simply unbelievable!"
...
Upon hearing the name, the onlookers discussed amongst themselves, looking at Er Zhu with shock and admiration.
So, this so-called kept man was actually Luo Feng, the richest man in the capital. No wonder he knew Wang Xiaomei and the others!
Compared to the excitement of the onlookers, Fang Mingli's heart felt like it had fallen into an endless abyss!
The pretty boy he looked down on was actually the richest man in the capital!
No wonder his cousin hit him, he deserved it!
"I'm sorry, Mr. Luo. It was our Fang family's oversight. To express my apologies, the Misty Hotel is yours!"
Fang Mingsheng, too lazy to bother with Fang Mingli, bowed respectfully to Er Zhu before looking at Fang Mingli.
Although the Misty Hotel was the Fang family's most profitable hotel, it was just a hotel. If it could bring him closer to Wang Er Zhu, it was worth it!
"Then thank you, Mr. Fang."
Er Zhu was not one to waste time and directly accepted the Misty Hotel.
He had been planning to acquire the Misty Hotel, and now someone was giving it to him for free!
Watching Er Zhu's retreating figure, a sharp glint flashed in Fang Mingsheng's eyes.
He had thought his plan had failed, but it turned out the previous time was just a coincidence.
"Cousin, he's just a rich man whose foundation is unstable. Why are you so afraid of him?"
At that moment, the resentful Fang Mingli walked over, looking at his cousin with a confused expression.
Fang Mingsheng didn't speak, but simply gestured for him to enter a room.
Before Fang Mingli could react, he saw a cold gleam flash, and he instantly felt a warm current flow from his neck!
"Ah!"
Fang Mingli, with his mouth agape, tried to call for help, but despite using all his strength, he couldn't utter a single word!
His body slowly slid down, and Fang Mingli met his end at the hands of his cousin!
"Because I want to become friends with him!"
Looking at Fang Mingli's corpse, Fang Mingsheng revealed everything, but sadly, Fang Mingli would never know!
In the blink of an eye, three days passed, and the news of the Misty Hotel changing hands exploded in the capital's high society!
A few years ago, the Fang family had refused to sell the Misty Hotel for billions, but now they had given it to Wang Er Zhu!
This meant that Wang Er Zhu's power was even greater than the Fang family's!
Thinking of this, the affluent families rushed to visit Er Zhu with heavy gifts, but to their surprise, he had already moved out!
From then on, no one knew Wang Er Zhu's whereabouts. The affluent families, though unwilling, could only give up.
However, this very act of giving up made the affluent families even more eager to please Er Zhu in public.
Because this was their only chance to connect with him!
Now, the capital's annual charity gala was about to begin.
Those attending this gala were all first-class affluent families in the capital, and even some hidden aristocratic families!
As a result, many affluent families were desperate to attend, but Er Zhu had no desire to go.
"You go in my stead."
Er Zhu picked up the invitation from the table and handed it to Lin Mo, who was beside him.
Lin Mo was both surprised and delighted. He wanted to take it, but he didn't dare.
After all, this was a top-level banquet, attended by at least first-class affluent families, and he was just a bodyguard!
"Master, for the sake of your business, you should go in person."
Lin Mo swallowed hard, trying to persuade him while cautiously placing the invitation back on the table.
"But I want to spend the New Year alone with Xiaomei. Wu Feng can go home, but you're an orphan."
Er Zhu smiled, picked up the invitation again, his tone filled with undeniable authority.
That's right, this so-called top-level banquet was not as important to Er Zhu as Li Mei!
If others heard this, they would surely think Er Zhu was a useless man who couldn't live without a woman, but Er Zhu didn't care about that!
"Okay, then I'll go."
Upon hearing this, Lin Mo instantly understood Er Zhu's intentions and quickly put away the invitation.
Just as Lin Mo put away the invitation, Fang Mingsheng and the others on the other side were already in full swing!
In the blink of an eye, Spring Festival arrived. Standing on the balcony, looking down at the pedestrians coming and going below, Li Mei's face broke into a smile.
"Another year has passed..."
Li Mei gazed into the distance thoughtfully, the events of the past year playing out in her mind like a movie.
She had thought she and Er Zhu would settle in Hua Bei City for the rest of their lives, but she never expected to come to the capital this year!
She had thought she and Er Zhu had no hope, but this year, they were together!
She had thought Er Zhu was just an ordinary person, but she never expected him to be the eldest son of the Luo family, a first-class affluent family in the capital!
...
Thinking of all this, Li Mei's mood was complex!
As Li Mei was reminiscing, someone slowly walked towards her...
