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

She had heard before that this was the largest entertainment club in Jinhai and the most famous den of iniquity, but Su Weile was still shocked when she actually entered.

Tang Shaowu drove Su Weile directly to the grand restaurant located in the south. This five-star restaurant was actually located within the resort. It was truly astonishing.

As soon as their car stopped, staff members came up to them. "Young Master Tang, you've arrived. Old Master Huo's birthday banquet is in the Chinese restaurant on the sixth floor. Please follow me."

Tang Shaowu handed the car keys to the staff and went upstairs with Su Weile.

As soon as the elevator doors opened, Su Weile raised an eyebrow in surprise; the scene was a bit too grand.

Under the luxurious crystal chandelier, men and women dressed in fine clothes chatted in twos and threes.

Numerous well-trained service staff, carrying trays, moved among the crowd, where people elegantly sipped their wine, exchanging compliments and tentative conversations amidst the clinking of glasses.

The moment the elevator doors opened, everyone's eyes turned to him. As Tang Shaowu appeared, everyone greeted him warmly with smiles. The scene became quite lively.

Su Weile wasn't really comfortable with such flattery, but fortunately, he didn't have to do anything; everyone's focus was on Tang Shaowu.

Su Weile observed silently and discovered that although Tang Shaowu had no friends in private and was not close to anyone, he handled himself with ease in this kind of situation.

It looks elegant and dignified, but in reality, it exudes a strong sense of distance.

Su Weile couldn't quite understand what they were talking about regarding this project and the policy.

So he started observing the people around him, and to his surprise, he found that almost everyone around him was looking in his direction, and they were all looking at him, the newcomer, with curiosity and a sense of inquiry.

Su Weile felt a chill run down her spine, after all, she had never been studied and observed by so many people like this before.

But who is Su Weile? He's the Little Tyrant of Yanshan! Look at me, right? Look, look, come on, let's look at each other. I'm so handsome, why would I be afraid of you looking at me?

Once Su Weile's true nature as a little leopard was revealed, she fearlessly looked back at every observer, which indeed caused many people to look away.

It wasn't until the main character of the day appeared, with the Huo family patriarch being helped downstairs by the eldest son, that everyone's attention was once again drawn back to the protagonist.

Mr. Huo first spoke in a strong voice, then thanked everyone for coming, and invited everyone to take their seats and have a meal.

The seating arrangements at the table had been made in advance. Mr. Huo sat at the head table, and the other diners were all senior figures from the business and political circles of the same generation as Mr. Huo. Although they had long since retired, they were all very influential people.

Besides these people, only Huo Lao's eldest son and eldest grandson were still at the table. Although there were still empty seats, no one was qualified to sit down.

As soon as everyone was seated, Tang Shaowu and Su Weile sat at the table for the young people. The seats were occupied by the sons and daughters of various families. Some of them were very familiar with each other, while others seemed awkward, probably because they had some past grievances.

The seating arrangement was clearly carefully considered, separating people with more sensitive relationships.

For example, Tang Shaowu and Tang Yi. They were sitting at different tables.

Tang Shaowu was whispering with Su Weile

"After we finish eating with the elders, we might go to a bar for a follow-up meal, so we can't drink too much there."

Before Su Weile could answer, Mr. Huo, who was in the main seat, suddenly spoke up.

"Shaowu? There are still empty seats here, come and sit down. It just so happens that Huo Yuting from our family is very interested in that project you're working on. Why don't you young people chat together?"

Old Master Huo's words shocked everyone: "Go sit at the head table." What did that mean?

As a junior, Tang Shaowu was not even qualified to sit at the head table of the Huo family, yet he went directly to the head table. This is truly enviable and makes people jealous.

Huo Yuting, the grandson of the Huo family, had always had business dealings with Tang Shaowu. He smiled and said, "Shaowu, come on over. What's wrong? You're reluctant to part ways after a little while?"

Amidst everyone's laughter, Tang Shaowu went to the main table for his meal. Without Tang Shaowu by his side, Su Weile had more time to observe the people around him.

He barely recognized any of these people, but he saw Jiang Meixue, Tang Shaowu's stepmother who had hit him and caused a scene at the hospital. The man sitting next to him, whose face was equally grim, must be Tang Shaowu's father.

Su Weile observed the man closely. Upon closer inspection, Tang Shaowu did have some similarities to him, but perhaps because their temperaments were so different, the two didn't seem very alike. On the contrary, Tang Yi and this father looked very similar.

Su Weile's conclusion was that Tang Shaowu was still the most handsome!

In addition, what made Su Weile extremely uncomfortable was the gaze from the next table, Tang Yi's hostile gaze.

Su Weile noticed as soon as she sat down that Tang Yi was here today. After a little thought, Su Weile realized that the person she had a conflict with on set that day was actually Tang Yi, Tang Shaowu's brother who was neither a brother nor a sister.

As soon as Tang Shaowu left, the seat next to Su Weile became empty. A short while later, a young boy sat down. He just smiled at Su Weile without saying a word.

Su Weile smiled at him and then continued eating.

"Heh, the people around Young Master Tang are really something else!! Hey!! Handsome young man, are you a local from Jinhai? I've never seen you before?"

Su Weile frowned and said, "What? You know everyone in Jinhai?"

Laughter erupted at the table. Their probing gazes towards Su Weile now held a newfound interest.

The boy wasn't annoyed; he still had a smiling face.

"I mean, you're not part of Jin Hai's circle, are you? Oh my, who in our circle wouldn't want to climb up to Tang Shao's big tree? Tsk tsk tsk, handsome, super rich, and doesn't mess around."

"Oh my, tell me, do you have some special talent that allowed you to win over this Tang Shao, whom no one else can get close to?"

Su Weile thought for a moment and said, "If you beat him up, you can become friends with him."

Everyone paused for a moment, then burst into laughter again.

The others said, "Young man, don't get him into trouble. They're so obsessed with Young Master Tang that they've gone mad. Be careful he doesn't really lose his mind and try to beat up Young Master Tang, and then he won't even know how he died."

The boy's eyes darted around, then he suddenly clapped his hands and said, "I know! You mean we should start as friends, right? Yeah, those super-rich people sometimes really do fall for that. You're a real expert!"

Su Weile carefully considered the boy's words and detected a different meaning: "What do you mean by starting as friends? Can't we always be friends?"

This time, everyone at the table paused for a moment, then burst into laughter.

Then he said, "Yes, yes, we've always been friends."

But Su Weile's expression darkened amidst everyone's smiles. He saw through their ulterior motives in their laughter.
