As they chatted along the way, time passed, and they finally arrived at Aunt Wang's elegant Taiwan Villa community.
Later, Lufeng learned that Taiwan Villa was built by Taiwanese investors, and for hundreds of miles around, there were high-end villas. The residents here were all successful individuals from various fields, which made Lufeng envious.
Thinking about his own situation, Lufeng felt that this world was indeed like that. He couldn't help but think of Wang Feng's song "Beijing," reflecting on how many people struggled for a living and lamented the unfairness of life. The money one wealthy person spends on a meal could equal several months' salary for an office worker, while he himself was still confused.
In this era of relying on one's family background, Lufeng didn't even know who his father was. If he didn't know how to play the role of a subordinate, he would definitely struggle to get by. However, Lufeng wouldn't stoop so low as to lose all dignity. He would only compliment Aunt Wang's villa a few times; if he went any lower, he wouldn't be human anymore. Without respect, living like a dog was not worth it for Lufeng.
Nevertheless, Aunt Wang's character truly impressed Lufeng. Her way of handling matters was thorough and considerate. For her mother's birthday this time, the members of the studio couldn't come up with any decent gifts. They might say that it’s the thought that counts, but that depends on the person. Yet Aunt Wang prepared a grand gift herself, representing the heartfelt wishes of all studio members. Just for this reason alone, Lufeng admired her greatly.
"Boss, why did you take so long to arrive? We've been waiting for you!" As soon as they saw Lufeng, Qin Shou and others greeted him with smiles before noticing Aunt Wang.
"Aunt Wang!"
"Great! I'm very happy that everyone can join us for the birthday party. Feel free to enjoy yourselves; if you're not having fun, I'll deduct your funds! Haha!" Aunt Wang said cheerfully.
Lufeng felt speechless; Aunt Wang was right in front of him, yet his friends greeted him first, which was quite impolite. To prevent this from happening again, Lufeng signaled them to ignore him and enjoy themselves freely.
At the party, Lufeng saw Aunt Wang's exceptional mother, who looked stunningly beautiful and dressed like Wang Xiaojing's sister. If it weren't for Wang Xiaojing calling her "Mom," Lufeng wouldn't have believed his eyes.
After exchanging polite birthday wishes, Lufeng avoided getting involved in the cake incident. Watching other people's happy families made him envious and further confirmed what he wanted in life as he savored a glass of red wine alone.
After a birthday song was sung, the birthday party turned into a dance party.
As he drank more, Lufeng became a bit tipsy. Reflecting on the situation at the studio, he felt this was an opportunity—a chance to change his destiny. Everyone needs a breakthrough moment for success; once that moment arrives, it’s all about effort and perseverance. Asking Heaven was Lufeng's opportunity. Based on the leveling situation over the past two days, he had secured a position among the top thousand players—even while waiting for other team members—but he couldn't do without the team's support; it was a mutually beneficial process.
Wang Xiaojing felt frustrated; her mind had never left Lufeng for a moment. However, her exceptional mother kept introducing her to various upper-class individuals as if she were matchmaking. Wang Xiaojing had no interest in those so-called rich young men or general managers; to her, these people were insincere and lacked genuine feelings. Even if someone truly cared for her, she found it too suffocating. If it weren't for her exceptional mother's birthday, she might have ignored those so-called upper-class individuals altogether.
At the party, Murong Xiaoxiao became a stunning sight once again. Wang Xiaojing, being her good sister, naturally wouldn't let her feel too out of place. Murong Xiaoxiao's clear and elegant demeanor made her a goddess in the eyes of wealthy and handsome men. From time to time, someone would invite her to dance, but Murong Xiaoxiao politely declined each time.
Murong Xiaoxiao felt quite frustrated. She had already put on a cold expression, but the more she did so, the more attractive she became to the wealthy and handsome men. They were not like the boys from school; successful individuals with status were drawn to someone like Murong Xiaoxiao.
In the past, Murong Xiaoxiao would have said that women are like clothes, and she was a brand they couldn't afford. Facing successful people from various fields now made her feel somewhat exhausted. No matter how cold she acted, others still approached her warmly. She felt helpless because her brother Lufeng, who always protected her, was nowhere to be found. By the time she spotted Lufeng, he was already drunk.
Yes, Lufeng was indeed drunk—quietly so—lying peacefully on the sofa. He never expected to get drunk on foreign liquor; it was completely unexpected. Wang Xiaojing was the first to notice Lufeng's condition and immediately left the arm of an exquisite mother without caring about others' opinions, directly taking Lufeng upstairs.
"Xiaojing, what are you doing?" Queen Mother asked in confusion, slightly annoyed. Wang Xiaojing's actions seemed to slap her in the face; just moments ago, she had been introducing her daughter to someone else, and before they even shook hands, Wang Xiaojing walked away.
Everyone looked at Wang Xiaojing's actions in shock; even Aunt Wang didn't expect such a result. She had intended to pursue Murong Xiaoxiao but unexpectedly found that someone else had already captured her sister's heart.
Initially, Aunt Wang felt a bit guilty and even tried to play tricks. When Murong Xiaoxiao faced the crowd of business elites awkwardly, she refrained from intervening as she waited for an opportunity for Murong Xiaoxiao. However, seeing this situation unfold made her disregard any personal concerns. She thought to herself: If he ends up with my sister, wouldn't that make it easier for me?
With this thought in mind, Aunt Wang smiled and quickly approached Queen Mother: "Mom, don't be angry. That’s Xiaojing's boyfriend; he's one of my company's capable employees and definitely worthy of our Xiaojing."
For Murong Xiaoxiao's sake, Aunt Wang 'sold out' her own sister, but only under the condition that Wang Xiaojing liked him. From Wang Xiaojing's actions, Aunt Wang could be 100% sure that she liked Lufeng. Knowing Lufeng's character and abilities well enough and influenced by his relationship with Murong Xiaoxiao, Aunt Wang decided to promote the development between Wang Xiaojing and Lufeng.
Hearing praise about her son eased Queen Mother's worries significantly. She wasn't old-fashioned; she just believed in social compatibility. However, now that Wang Xiaojing had developed feelings for someone she wanted, Queen Mother was very happy. After briefly apologizing to a friend nearby, she said to Aunt Wang: "Xiaoqiang, please attend to the guests; I'm going upstairs to take a look."
"Sure! Leave it to me; no problem!"
What could Aunt Wang say about such an exquisite mother? She shook her head and muttered softly to herself: "She's over forty years old but still has the heart of an eighteen-year-old girl who loves to act cute—what an exquisite mother."
After the birthday cake at the birthday party, it gradually turned into a cocktail party. Unfortunately, Lufeng would not enjoy this vibrant night filled with lights and drinks.
The lights twinkled brightly, and the floor was filled with alluring women. Gao Chao, Qiu Han, and Qin Shou also began their "hunting," but Gao Chao was more experienced and quickly struck up a conversation with a charming lady, while Qin Shou and Qiu Han lagged behind.
However, under the influence of alcohol, the so-called upper-class individuals finally revealed their most primal sides, allowing Qiu Han and Qin Shou to connect with women they usually wouldn't dare to approach. Of course, whether they could succeed depended on their skills.
The camera zoomed in again, cough cough, it was Aunt Wang. Yes, at the moment the music started playing, Aunt Wang kept a close eye on Murong Xiaoxiao's every move. In fact, Murong Xiaoxiao felt quite helpless; the moment Lufeng left, she wanted to leave too but was surrounded by the young masters. Unable to lose her temper and drive them away, she could only respond coldly. However, the more she did so, the more the young masters waited for an opportunity. They all knew what this gathering ultimately meant.
Just when they thought happiness was about to arrive, Aunt Wang decisively approached Murong Xiaoxiao and rescued her from her helpless situation. The other young masters, seeing their host arrive, naturally had to step aside and leave.
"Thank you!" Murong Xiaoxiao expressed her gratitude.
"Haha~ No need for that. This is just the essence of life; you just have to adapt. If you don't like this noisy place, we can go somewhere else," Aunt Wang said with a smile.
Murong Xiaoxiao didn't quite understand her meaning but was more worried about Lufeng. Nervously, she asked, "Can I go see my brother?"
Aunt Wang was taken aback; this request was not unreasonable at all. She could only nod speechlessly, thinking: there will be plenty of time in the future; haste makes waste.
Then Aunt Wang took Murong Xiaoxiao to Wang Xiaojing's room.
Sure enough, Lufeng was sprawled out on Wang Xiaojing's large bed like a pig, while Queen Mother and Wang Xiaojing sat on the edge of the bed discussing Lufeng's situation.
Upon seeing Aunt Wang and Murong Xiaoxiao arrive, Queen Mother quickly sent Aunt Wang downstairs to entertain guests while Murong Xiaoxiao joined in on the conversation.
It is said that three women make a play; Queen Mother, Murong Xiaoxiao, and Wang Xiaojing chatted away like three sisters lost in their own world.
The party continued in full swing until around midnight as everyone indulged in their youth. As for what they did, the young people should understand well enough.
The next day, Lufeng woke up groggily and opened his eyes to find himself in an unfamiliar place. He thought he hadn't fully woken up yet, rubbed his eyes, but it was still the same. Just as he got up, the door was opened.
Queen Mother saw that Lufeng was awake and quickly said, "Hey, Xiao Feng, hurry up and get ready for breakfast. I was just about to call you for breakfast. Get dressed and come down; I'll go call Xiaojing and the others."
After saying this, Queen Mother turned and left, muttering, "You're already grown up, yet you still act like a child..."
Lufeng was taken aback for a moment. After thinking it over, he finally remembered that this was Aunt Wang's extraordinary aunt. However, he didn't understand why she seemed so friendly toward him. He muttered to himself, "Why does she seem so affectionate? She even calls me Xiao Feng? What on earth happened? And where am I?"
After putting on his clothes, he glanced at the photo by the bed. Who else could it be but Wang Xiaojing? Lufeng could confirm without a doubt that he was in Wang Xiaojing's room.
After a long while, Lufeng suddenly realized, "I remember now; I got drunk yesterday. But how did I end up in her room?"
Unable to comprehend it all, Lufeng washed up in the bathroom. Everything had been prepared by the Wang family's housekeeper; everything was new. Lufeng shook his head and finished washing up. As soon as he came downstairs, he saw Aunt Wang approaching.
"Good morning, Aunt!"
"Good morning, brother-in-law! Let's go downstairs for breakfast; you'll be late for work if you don't hurry," Aunt Wang said with a light laugh.
"Brother-in-law? What do you mean by brother-in-law?" Lufeng asked in confusion.
"Still pretending with me!" Aunt Wang shook her head and ignored Lufeng.
