Lin Fan muttered curses under his breath, his eyes growing sharper and more sinister.
Know someone?
Does that mean you can do whatever you want?!
Xu Mo, the Xu family, just keep showing off!
Just wait until I take you down!
"Gentlemen, hello. Please show your invitations, thank you," the staff member said with a smile.
Ma Qun produced the invitation he had prepared in advance and handed it to the staff.
The invitation looked particularly precious!
It was gilded, and it felt quite heavy in the hand.
Estimating it at about ten grams.
Fortunately, those who were invited here.
Didn't lack this bit of money.
Otherwise, the gold embedded on the invitations.
Would have been pried out by now.
But this also reflected.
The Zhang family's wealth and strength.
Almost everyone here tonight.
Were influential figures.
The staff carefully checked the invitation, ensuring it was genuine before handing it back to Ma Qun.
"You two may enter."
Ma Qun pocketed the invitation.
As they prepared to go in, a commotion broke out outside.
"Hey, isn't that Shen Manni? Why is she here alone? Shouldn't Xu Mo from the Xu family be following her?"
"You just came back to Magic City, huh? I hear Xu Mo has stopped chasing Shen Manni ages ago."
"What? No way? Xu Mo was head over heels for Shen Manni, refusing to give up no matter what. How could he just give up so easily?"
"You're so naive! Forget everything else, with the Xu family's resources, what kind of woman can't they find? The Shen family was dragging their feet for too long. If it were me, I wouldn't have pursued her in the first place! You're still the same as before, always joking around, do you really think love at first sight lasts forever?"
People around them chimed in, some louder than others.
A few loud voices came from the capital.
Their strength was on par with the Shen family.
And they didn't have any business dealings with the Shen family.
Thus, they dared to speak so loudly.
Others spoke in softer voices.
But with Lin Fan and Ma Qun's superior hearing.
They could still hear a thing or two.
Tonight, Shen Manni wore a white backless dress.
Her flawless, smooth back was exposed, exuding an irresistible charm.
If Xu Mo were here, he would have surely sighed.
‘That back is such a waste if it’s not used for cupping.’
She wore Gucci earrings on her delicate earlobes.
Her hand held the latest limited edition Chanel handbag.
Her goddess-like looks and temperament were already top-tier!
A little grooming.
And her aura shot up several levels!
Before dressing up, she was already a goddess.
After dressing up, she was irresistible.
While these bystanders dissed Xu Mo.
They secretly wished they could possess Shen Manni.
But Shen Manni's personality was clear.
Even Xu Mo had failed.
Let alone them.
Lin Fan was stunned at the entrance.
This was what a woman should be.
By comparison, the ones he had met in Magic City were all dissatisfactory.
Seeing that Lin Fan showed no intention of moving forward.
Ma Qun wisely stood aside.
Lin Fan and he waited together.
Ma Qun certainly knew Shen Manni was beautiful.
She was the Dragon King's woman.
It was enough for a subordinate like him to just admire her from afar.
Soon, Shen Manni approached and handed over her invitation.
After the staff verified it, she was allowed to enter.
What a coincidence! Miss Shen, we meet again.
Lin Fan's voice nearly overlapped with the staff's clearance.
Hearing this cringeworthy chat-up line, Shen Manni's brows furrowed, her tone ice-cold.
"But I never want to see you again!"
Lin Fan chuckled, revealing his trademark sly smile.
"Don't be like that. After all, I worked for you before, and I have to thank you for giving me a chance back then. Otherwise, I might have starved."
When chasing women, be bold and meticulous.
Don't spoil them.
Only a simp would spoil a woman without limits!
Lin Fan believed he was far from being a simp like Xu Mo, a stupid rich second generation.
There were countless simps vying for the goddess.
To stand out among them.
You mustn't be a simp!
Show your masculine side.
Show your value!
A true man should never be a simp!
Love or leave, don't waste time!
Be confident!
Lin Fan's words completely killed the conversation.
Combined with Xu Mo's thoughts.
Shen Manni realized.
This was a typical underdog-turning-into-a-hero trope.
The kind of scenario where someone acts tough to slap others in the face.
She was about to vomit.
Feeling deeply uncomfortable.
Originally, she wanted to use her old tricks tonight.
To have Xu Mo come pick her up.
But he had blocked her social media accounts and phone numbers.
Giving her no opportunity whatsoever.
Too ruthless.
Seeing Lin Fan made her mood even worse.
"You're not leaving, huh? Fine, I'll go!" Shen Manni said darkly.
Lin Fan was puzzled.
He hadn't even started showing off yet.
And she's leaving?
What the hell?
Such a lack of face?
In situations like this.
Lin Fan had his own strategies.
Just keep talking.
Don't worry about how awkward it gets.
Even if you anger the other person.
Even if they curse at you, it's a success.
At least you provoked their emotions.
Changing one's mindset takes time.
But if your antics fail to evoke any emotional reaction from others.
That's a big problem.
Lin Fan was about to say something else when another commotion broke out outside.
"Holy crap?! Is that Xu Mo? When did he start dating Zhou Qiaoqiao?"
“Wait, is this Xu Mo in my memory?! Has he gotten plastic surgery recently?”
"Oh my gosh! Zhou Qiaoqiao and Xu Mo are such a perfect match, I'm so envious!"
"Yeah, so that's why I didn’t want to come out with you. Control yourself, will you? You’re drooling, it’s so embarrassing to have you as a friend."
"Hehe—bad girls are irresistible to men."
"Oh, the one from the capital, you probably don't know about the marriage between the Xu and Zhou families, right? And I hear the wedding was moved up. So them being together is normal!"
Meanwhile, back to this scene.
Xu Mo wore a dashing black suit tonight.
Clothing can make or break a man.
Even without the suit.
Xu Mo could attract a wave of women.
With even better results.
But that wouldn't do!
It would all fall apart.
Ahem---
The devil on Xu Mo's arm.
Wore a high-slit black gown.
Her milk-white, flawless legs were exposed.
Pure and natural, no synthetic black stockings needed.
Her legs were perfect.
Just a glance.
And many ordinary men would be captivated.

I’m gonna go re-invest this!” Three days later, at the National Martial Arts College Entrance Exam, while everyone else struggled just to reach the passing line, Su Yu threw a single punch—and more than a thousand vitality points literally detonated the entire arena!
