Shi Mingge jumped out of the car in a very gentlemanly ma


    er, and then took a detour to the other side, inviting Zhou Manzhu to get out.


    Zhou Man was pulling on her own dress. Her dress was very long, and she was wearing a pair of 8 cm high stiletto heels. Zhou Manzhen rarely wore stiletto heels, so she walked very carefully tonight.


    Looking at the luxurious and elegant castle in front of her, Zhou Manzhen began to worry. She thought to herself that after she entered, she would find a ce to stay in silence, not saying a single word. The grand decorations here made her extremely nervous.


    At this moment, the Lincoln had just stopped not long ago. There were luxurious cars gathered behind it, parked one by one in the manor. People came and went in all directions, whether they were men or women, all of them dressed up in their best attire.


    The driver drove away. With a charming smile, Shi Mingge forgot about Zhou Manzhen and even gave her a coquettish look. Zhou Manzhu looked at the crowd and felt a bit of regret.


    What did Shi Mingge say before he came? He said that this was just an ordinary birthday party, and Zhou Manzhen was totally dumbfounded. Looking at the luxurious mansion, she predicted that the owner of this mansion must be someone of great virtue and prestige.


    Shi Mingge straightened his back, tidied up his suit, and then extended his hand, gesturing for Zhou Manzhu to take his arm. Zhou Manzhu reluctantly reached out and took his arm, and was led away expressionlessly by Shi Mingge.


    "Can we go back now?" Just as Zhou Manzhen''s right foot had reached the top of the stairs, he stopped and asked while biting his lips.


    "Of course not, I''m already here, how can I go back? I should at least wish an old man a birthday. " With a smile, Shi Mingge stood on the steps. Zhou Manzhu was holding one hand, while the other hand was holding a beautifully wrapped gift box. Inside was a piece of high-quality jade, which was priceless.


    "Alright." Zhou Manzhen took a deep breath and gritted her teeth. It didn''t matter, since no one knew her, she was free to go.


    "Don''t be nervous, that grandfather is very kind. He will definitely like you very much." Shi Mingge saw through Zhou Manzhu''s thoughts. He could understand why, since Zhou Manzhu rarely participated in such a banquet, unlike him, who had attended it since he was young. Thus, he was already used to it.


    "Who is this grandpa?" Zhou Manzhen''s eyebrows furrowed, she opened her red lips and asked.


    "You''ll know in a while." Without mentioning it, Shi Mingge decided to keep it a secret.


    Zhou Manzhen pursed her lips as she thought to herself, since she already agreed to Shi Mingge''s request, she couldn''t lose face for him. After all, Shi Mingge had done her a huge favor.


    The two of them continued walking forward until they reached the front door of the castle. The two attendants greeted Shi Mingge and prepared to open the door. Shi Mingge smiled and patted Zhou Manzhu''s hand, saying, "Don''t worry, I''m here."


    She lifted her head and nced at Shi Mingge. Although Shi Mingge usually looked sloppy and indecent, at critical moments, he had never let himself down. Zhou Manzhu believed that tonight''s banquet would definitely end without a hitch.


    The gate of the ancient castle was pushed open, and the golden light from inside the house instantly shone into Zhou Manzhen''s eyes. A wave of warmth assaulted her, and before she could even react, she was led in by Shi Mingge.


    With the entrance of Shi Mingge and Zhou Manzhen, the audience''s attention was instantly attracted to them. Many people were discussing who this woman beside Shi Mingge was. Shi Mingge had never brought a single woman in his life before.


    The most important thing was that Zhou Manzhen had a sweet and pure appearance, which immediately attracted the jealousy of many women. In this circle, there were also many female suitors.


    Zhou Manzhen was extremely nervous. If not for Shi Mingge holding her hand, she would have been so nervous that her legs would have gone limp.


    At this moment, deputy mayor Tang Chenggong came over with a ss of red wine to greet Shi Mingge.


    "Director Shi, good evening." Tang Jungong''s eyes almost narrowed to slits.


    "Hello, Mayor Tang." Shi Mingge also replied very politely.


    "The person beside Chief Shi is?" Tang Jungong looked at Zhou Manzhen with a deep smile. Wasn''t this the Zhou Manzhen that he had flirted with Jin Beisen earlier? Others might not know about it, but Tang Jungong was very clear that he and Jin Beisan were cooperating, so he also investigated some of Jin Beisan''s sex news.


    "Slut." Shi Mingge said with a bewitching look on his face. It was extremely indecent, but he immediately let go of Zhou Manzhen''s hand and wrapped her arms around her waist.


    When Zhou Manzhu heard the word ''lowly'', she felt so angry that her teeth itched. What ''lowly''?! Who is the lowly ''?!


    "Mingge." The calm voice was filled with vigor. Not far away, an old man in a ck suit slowly walked towards Shi Mingge with steady steps.


    The old man looked to be around seventy years old, and his hair was still ck. It was unknown if he was dyed ck, but on the way here, Shi Mingge told her that this was the old man''s eightieth birthday. Zhou Manzhen could not believe that this old man in front of his was eighty years old.


    There was a trace of age on his aged face, and his voice was filled with a domineering aura. He did not look old at all, and only gave off a feeling of majesty.


    "Grandfather." Shi Mingge still did not loosen his arms around Zhou Manzhen''s waist. He smiled as he brought Zhou Manzhen forward to greet Jin Zihang.


    "You brat, you haven''te to visit your grandfather since you returned. You''re really unfilial." Jin Zihang said with a sullen face.


    "Grandfather, didn''t Ie today? I wish you good luck and a life longer than that of Nanshan. " At this moment, he let go of Zhou Manzhen''s waist and handed a present to Jin Zihang with both hands.


    "As you wish. Why are you giving me such a present?" Jin Zihang happily received the gift. He and Shi Mingge were not rted by blood, but Shi Mingge had often yed with him in this castle when he was young, and his ability to talk and talk always made Jin Zihang very happy.


    "This is a part of my heart." Shi Mingge smiled elegantly.


    Zhou Manzhen had rarely seen this kind of expression on the face of Shi Mingge''s hoodlum. He always gave people a yful and cynical look, but today, it had really broadened her horizons.


    "Alright, this is your wish. Grandpa understands." Jin Zihang handed the gifts to the servants beside him, then he looked at Shi Mingge and Zhou Manzhen with a smile.


    "This is?" Jin Zihang sized up Zhou Manquan, who was standing beside Shi Mingge, and thought to himself, This little girl is pretty, seductive, and extraordinary, making people feelfortable looking at her.


    "My girlfriend." Shi Minggeughed as if it was true.
