Xu Jinhong said coldly, "With the Xu Family''s capital, it''s basically impossible for us to hold a birthday banquet at Hongfeng Vi District, which is the highest-end vi area in our Jiangcheng."


    "The people who live there are all very high-end, like bigpany CEOs and the like."


    "I think it must be Xu Huanhuan''s boyfriend who''s pulling some strings for her there."


    Liu Ya''s face was full of displeasure, "Ever since Xu Huanhuan climbed up the socialdder by getting involved with Jinling City''s young master, she''s been outrageously arrogant in front of us. She''s showing off like a petty person who''se into good fortune, and it''s just annoying to see."


    Xu Muge said, "Forget it, let them show off as much as they want."


    Xu Jinhong was speechless, "They''re purposely inviting us, probably because they want to embarrass you, Muge, at the event."


    Xu Muge pouted, feeling indignant in her heart. Why should she be looked down on by Xu Huanhuan, that dim-witted woman? She was not inferior to Xu Huanhuan!


    Xu Huanhuan is nothing more than a woman with a wealthy boyfriend, what''s so impressive about that?


    Wei Zijing came from a prominent family in Jinling, but Qin Jiang... Thinking of this, she shook her head.


    She needed to rise up through her own efforts and not rely on Qin Jiang.


    Besides, Qin Jiang could only help her with small favors. When it came to big matters, Qin Jiang''s influence wasn''t enough; favors could eventually run out!


    Meanwhile, Qin Jiang had also received a call from Zhang Haoyuan, telling him that tomorrow was Zhang Shuyun''s birthday, and inviting Qin Jiang to attend the banquet they were hosting.


    Owing to the favor he had received from Zhang Haoyuan, Qin Jiang could only grit his teeth and nod in agreement.


    This time, the banquet invited many guests to attend, covering the elite from all the major families in Jiangcheng.


    One could say that the scene was extremely grand.


    Those families were scrambling to get an invitation.


    After all, Zhang Haoyuan''s status was there, and they were all eager to curry favor with him.


    The next day.


    Tianlong Garden.


    The entire vi district was lit up and bustling with activity.


    The guestsing and going were numerous and each of them had a status that was frightening. After all, the person hosting the birthday banquet was the daughter of Zhang Haoyuan, and the attendees were all of significant stature.


    Practically all of Fengcheng''s first-ss families had been invited over.


    Second-ss families didn''t usually get this treatment. However, many families had fought head over heels and, finally, had managed to get an invitation to enter this ce.


    People from the Qin Family were just like that.


    This time, the whole Qin Family hade, and when they saw the high standards of Tianlong Garden, they were all astounded. They hadn''t expected that the ce would be even more imposing than they had imagined.


    Just the rows of soldiers standing at the entrance, armed to the teeth, was enough to dazzle them!


    Not to mention the environment, the location, and the luxuriousness of the vi''s decor!


    "I heard that the cheapest vis here start at several tens of millions, and the most expensive one is valued at two hundred million."


    "Two hundred million..."


    They couldn''t help but take a sharp breath. One house here could cost them half of the Qin Family''s assets! It was terrifying!


    The group entered the vi district like Liu Laoo entering the Grand View Garden, full of awe.


    "Awesome!"


    "If I could live in a ce like this in my lifetime, that would be amazing..."


    They had a look of longing in their eyes.


    But, it was just a daydream, for even if the Qin Family worked hard for fifty years, they would never qualify to live here. Find your next adventure on mvl


    In Jiangcheng, the Qin Family didn''t even make the list, let alone in a distinguished ce like this!


    Upon entering Vi No. 1, they were even more stunned by the scene before them.


    Various department heads and deputies, whom they previously had to fawn over, were now bowing and scraping before the Zhang brothers, their faces full of eager ttery and deferential in their demeanor.


    "The Liu Family..."


    "The Mo Family..."


    "The Chen Family!"


    "And many other big shots from Jinling City..."


    Seeing these influential figures chatting andughing, they didn''t even have the courage to approach and strike up a conversation.


    The grand birthday banquet soon began its prelude.


    Today, Zhang Shuyun was dressed to the nines, looking charming with a touch of elegance. Her gaze wandered to the entrance, but she didn''t see the figure she was hoping to meet.


    There was a hint of disappointment in her eyes.


    "So beautiful..." Qin Xiao waspletely starstruck; however, ady of such high status waspletely out of his league. He reckoned that even if he approached her, she wouldn''t give him the time of day.


    Just then, a young figure entered the doorway. Seeing such a grand asion, Qin Jiang furrowed his brows slightly, but said nothing.


    After all, this was Zhang Haoyuan''s home turf; it was normal for it to be lively.


    He wanted to find a quiet ce to sit down.


    However, as he nced around, he noticed that the Qin Family members were also present.


    "Bad luck," Qin Jiang''s face showed disdain as he nned to distance himself from them, but Qin Xiao stood up, holding a ss of red wine, and arrogantly approached him.


    "Qin Jiang, you''re here too? How did you get into a ce like this?"


    "Do you even belong here!" Qin Jiang replied coldly, "None of your business!"


    Qin Xiao said coldly, "How did you sneak in here today? Do you have an invitation? I''m going to tell the host to kick you out!"


    Suddenly, Zhang Haoyuan stepped onto the high tform and announced loudly, "Everyone, please quiet down for a moment."


    "First of all," I''m very grateful to everyone foring to my daughter''s birthday party. However, there is something I want to announce publicly next!"


    In an instant, the room erupted in apuse like thunder.


    Zhang Haoyuan cleared his throat and began to speak slowly, "First, I want to thank the benefactor of the Zhang Family for my daughter''s recovery. Today, he is the most important guest of honor for the Zhang Family!"


    "Secondly, I, Zhang Haoyuan, announce here that I am gifting Vi No. 1 of Tianlong Garden to our benefactor! I hope everyone can witness this moment!"


    "Wow!" The crowd immediately burst into amotion, with everyone talking at once!


    Who was the benefactor Zhang Haoyuan was referring to?


    And to just give away a vi worth two hundred million?


    Envy filled their eyes!


    "Damn, I''m so jealous," Qin Xiao was visibly excited, also curious to know who could have such great influence to receive such a generous gift from the Zhang Family. A two-hundred-million-yuan vi was something they couldn''t even dream of!


    With a smile on his face, Zhang Haoyuan spoke aloud, "Now, please wee the benefactor of the Zhang Family... Mr. Qin!"


    Zhang Haoyuan''s gaze fell on Qin Jiang, and all eyes turned to look his way in unison.


    Qin Xiao was astonished; seeing Zhang Haoyuan''s gaze pointing in their direction made him incredibly excited.


    Mr. Qin? Which Mr. Qin? Could it be himself or his father? When had his father been in contact with Zhang Haoyuan? He had kept it so well hidden! No wonder their Qin Family had the opportunity to enter Tianlong Garden for the banquet today!


    Just then, a brilliant beam of light descended, slowly moving in their direction...
