A garden villa.
The banquet had already begun.
Wang Dongdong, seated at the head of the table, presented a respectable appearance. His hair was meticulously styled, and he wore a rented Givenchy suit paired with a high-quality replica Rolex watch. He was the center of attention, surrounded by flattery.
When he first arrived, he had been somewhat nervous, fearing his facade would be seen through.
But now, he had completely relaxed.
He realized that no matter what he did, he was met with a flood of compliments and flattery.
Even Jiang Shaolong, who stood beside him, looked at him with admiration.
As the focal point of this banquet, Wang Dongdong didn't need to say a word. Jiang Shaolong and all the Su family members simply believed him to be profoundly wise.
These people were too easily fooled!
"Mr. Wang, aside from the villa in Xiangshan Tanfu, what other properties do you own in Hangjiang? If it's convenient, our Jiang family would be honored to have the opportunity to collaborate with you!" Jiang Shaolong said with a fawning smile.
"My properties in Hangjiang aren't many. I come to Hangjiang simply because I like the environment, for vacation and leisure. I don't discuss business!" Wang Dongdong lied casually.
Jiang Shaolong's respect deepened.
What is a rich person? This is one! Merely for vacation and leisure, they bought out the entire villa in Xiangshan Tanfu. Big Wind Novel Network.
In a word, extravagant!
Compared to him, those local influential families in Hangjiang were not even worthy of carrying his shoes.
"However, since Young Master Jiang mentioned it, I'll make a call later to see if there are any industries suitable for development in Hangjiang. It's just a matter of saying a word!" Wang Dongdong added.
Jiang Shaolong's heart burned with excitement.
Indeed, the mysterious owner of Villa Number One was this formidable.
He absolutely had to seize this opportunity. As long as he served this person well, figures like Li Xiangbei and the Three Young Masters of the Capital would be insignificant.
And that Chen Fan, once he got through this difficult period, he would make him wish he were dead.
Jiang Shaolong raised his wine glass and said flatteringly, "Then thank you very much, Mr. Wang. With your words, you are now a benefactor to the Jiang family. I'll drink this to you, please feel free!"
Thirty-year-old aged Maotai, coupled with dishes custom-ordered from the top Hangjiang restaurants, Jiang Shaolong had spared no expense to entertain Wang Dongdong, the 'mysterious owner.'
Wang Dongdong, who had never tasted such fine wine, wanted to down it in one gulp. Su Yuxin, standing beside him, subtly pinched him. He feigned profundity and took a sip.
Even so, Jiang Shaolong felt greatly honored.
"Mr. Wang is truly an extraordinary individual. Our Yuxin is truly blessed!" Father Su said excitedly.
"Yes, Mr. Wang, our Yuxin will be your woman from now on. Please take good care of our Su family," Mother Su said, looking at Wang Dongdong with increasing pride and a fawning smile.
"Don't worry, Auntie. Your matters are my matters from now on. If anyone dares to cause you trouble, I'll kill them..." Wang Dongdong blurted out, beaming with pride.
Su Yuxin's expression changed slightly, and she quickly pinched Wang Dongdong hard.
Mother Su was overjoyed. With the assurance from the mysterious owner of Villa Number One, wouldn't the Su family be able to swagger through Hangjiang City from now on?
The more she thought about it, the more satisfied she became.
Jiang Shaolong paused for a moment, but a hint of suspicion crept in. Wang Dongdong's tone sounded like that of a ruffian.
Su Yuxin quickly tried to smooth things over, placing a piece of food on Wang Dongdong's plate, clearing her throat, and saying, "Brother is just joking, lightening the mood. Mom, they've only just met, it's too soon to say such things!"
That was true. Saying such things on the first meeting was indeed a bit rude.
Jiang Shaolong remained somewhat suspicious.
His mind raced, and he said, "Mr. Wang, it was indeed a bit presumptuous. But speaking of which, it's quite embarrassing, as our families are indeed in some trouble right now."
Having learned from the previous lesson, Wang Dongdong sat up straight and pretended to be serious, saying, "Young Master Jiang, please tell me about it."
Jiang Shaolong explained their troubles.
Wang Dongdong felt his head start to ache.
Li Xiangbei of Wangyi, the Three Young Masters of the Capital – he hadn't even heard of their names.
What should he say about this? Wang Dongdong couldn't help but look at Su Yuxin.
Su Yuxin pinched Wang Dongdong again, gave him a look, and signaled him to improvise. She had no idea what to do about these matters either.
Wang Dongdong chuckled and said, "What's there to worry about? It's a trivial matter. Young Master Jiang, you mentioned that Li... Li what's his name?"
"Li Xiangbei!"
Jiang Shaolong's heart skipped a beat.
This person hadn't even heard of Li Xiangbei's name? Wangyi was a giant in the internet industry.
Was he disregarding it, or did he genuinely not know the name?
"Yes, Li Xiangbei. It's just a matter of saying a word, I'll put in a call."
Wang Dongdong bluffed, bracing himself, "Young Master Jiang, Uncle and Aunt, please don't worry. With me here, anyone who dares to mess with you is just tired of living!"
"Come, let's have a drink. I'll toast everyone. Thank you for your warm hospitality!"
Jiang Shaolong grew more suspicious, but only suspected. He quickly raised his glass.
After that, Wang Dongdong continued to bluff, bracing himself.
Su Yuxin, fearing that Wang Dongdong would be exposed if he stayed any longer, whispered something to him.
"Haha, it's getting late," Wang Dongdong said, standing up. "I'm not really one for social gatherings. Today, for Yuxin's sake, I've bothered everyone. I'll be taking my leave now!"
"Good, good!" Mother Su stood up and said with a smile, "Mr. Wang, you're always welcome to visit again. Treat this place like your own home, don't be polite."
Jiang Shaolong couldn't help but look gloomy. He grabbed Su Yuxin and asked in a low voice, "Is he truly the mysterious owner of Villa Number One?"
"Of course. Brother-in-law, why do you still doubt him?"
Su Yuxin's heart skipped a beat, and she quickly said, "Brother-in-law, would I make a mistake about something like this?"
Jiang Shaolong thought about it and agreed. He had personally seen Su Yuxin go to Villa Number One last night, and she had indeed not returned all night.
It couldn't be that Su Yuxin had found someone to impersonate him.
But he still felt that something was off.
"Yuxin, it's not that brother-in-law doubts him, but Mr. Wang's behavior is quite strange. He doesn't seem like a wealthy magnate," Su Yingxia also said.
Su Yuxin became a little nervous and said sternly, "Sister, everyone has a different personality. There's no rule that rich people must behave in a certain way, right?"
Su Yingxia heard this and thought it made sense.
"In that case, let's escort Mr. Wang back to the villa!"
Jiang Shaolong's eyes lit up with a plan.
After all was said and done, nothing was more convincing than seeing Mr. Wang himself as the owner of the villa.
"Alright, Yuxin, why don't you ask Mr. Wang to invite us to visit Villa Number One!" Su Yingxia suggested with anticipation and longing.
Villa Number One was rumored to be extremely luxurious, and she dreamed of becoming its mistress.
Unfortunately, due to circumstances, Jiang Shaolong could only afford this garden villa.
"That's a great idea. I'd also like to see the interior of the villa!"
"Yuxin, consider it my plea, but ask Mr. Wang for us!"
"..."
Su Yuxin's face turned ashen.
She hadn't expected this turn of events. How could she get out of this now?
If her parents, sister, and brother-in-law found out that she had hired someone to impersonate the mysterious owner, would they beat her to death?
"What, is there a problem?" Mother Su asked.
"No..." Su Yuxin forced herself to say, "It's just too sudden. I'll ask brother."
She fled to the door, took Wang Dongdong's arm, and whispered the Su family's request.
At this, Wang Dongdong panicked. He whispered, "Yuxin, refuse it. You must refuse."
Su Yuxin quickly relayed to her family, "Brother doesn't like lively gatherings, and he's a bit tired today, so it's not convenient. He said if there's a chance next time, he'll invite everyone over to visit."
"It seems it was indeed too abrupt!"
"Mr. Wang, then we'll escort you home."
Jiang Shaolong's suspicion resurfaced. He walked up to Wang Dongdong and said, "It's not far, only about a hundred meters. We can take a walk after dinner, just to stroll."
Wang Dongdong inwardly wailed, "No need. Young Master Jiang, please don't be so polite. I can walk back by myself."
"How can that be? Such a short distance, we must escort Mr. Wang back. Mr. Wang, please!"
Wang Dongdong looked at Su Yuxin for help, but she lowered her head and looked at the ground, not daring to meet his gaze.
There was nothing he could do.
After walking a few steps, Wang Dongdong quickly said politely, "Alright, Young Master Jiang, Uncle, Aunt, please stop here!"
"We've only just left the door, let's escort you a bit further!"
With a tearful face, Wang Dongdong repeatedly asked the Su family to stop, but they escorted him all the way to a spot not far from the entrance of Villa Number One before they finally stopped.
Wang Dongdong, inwardly lamenting, could only pretend to walk towards the grand entrance of Villa Number One.
