Chapter 44: The younger sister was outmaneuvered by a rich second-generation heir flaunting his weal
The revolving doors of the Platinum Hyatt Hotel slowly turned, the gilded lights dazzling the eyes.
Lu Jingchen walked calmly through the revolving door with an indifferent expression.
The figure quickly disappeared into the depths of the brightly lit lobby without even turning its head.
No sooner had he left than Lu Qingyuan and Xia Wanxing walked hand in hand to the hotel entrance.
Looking at the dazzlingly bright entrance and the top-of-the-line luxury cars parked in front of it.
Lu Qingyuan stopped abruptly and grabbed Xia Wanxing's wrist.
Lu Qingyuan felt extremely uncomfortable, lowered her voice, and looked very awkward.
"Wanxing, are we really going to eat here?"
"This place is clearly designed for the highest-end spenders; one meal here would cost me half a year's living expenses!"
"Let's go somewhere else, let's just find a casual restaurant to eat at."
Xia Wanxing patted her hand with a smile, looking completely unconcerned.
"Don't worry, you rarely get to go out and have fun, why would I let you pay?"
"I've also invited a few other friends today, and I'll introduce them to you later."
Xia Wanxing didn't give Lu Qingyuan a chance to refuse.
Without saying a word, he grabbed Lu Qingyuan, whose face was full of resistance, and walked straight into the hotel.
Lu Qingyuan was being pulled forward, her heart still pounding, her toes practically digging into the floor.
The luxurious private rooms on the second floor of the hotel are decorated in an extremely extravagant manner.
The crystal chandelier hangs with rhinestone tassels, and the genuine leather sofa is as soft as a cloud.
Five or six young men and women dressed in designer brands were chatting and laughing together, creating a lively atmosphere.
The door to the private room was pushed open, and Xia Wanxing walked in with Lu Qingyuan.
Lin Yushi was petite and had a sweet face. Upon seeing this, she immediately greeted him with a smile.
He affectionately linked his arm with Xia Wanxing's, clinging to her like a pendant.
Xia Wanxing smiled and pointed to Lu Qingyuan beside her, introducing her to everyone.
"By the way, this is my deskmate, her name is Lu Qingyuan."
She turned to look at Lu Qingyuan and added with a smile.
"Qingyuan, her name is Lin Yushi, she is my best friend who grew up with me."
Lu Qingyuan quickly nodded politely and greeted him in a low voice.
"Hello there."
Lin Yushi waved her hand, but her eyes subtly swept over Lu Qingyuan.
Seeing that she was wearing inexpensive clothes, the enthusiasm in her eyes instantly faded.
He turned around and pulled Xia Wanxing aside to chat about the latest luxury goods, completely ignoring Lu Qingyuan.
Everyone quickly took their seats, and delicacies were served one after another as if they were free.
The atmosphere in the private room grew increasingly lively, with several people clinking glasses and chatting enthusiastically.
Lu Qingyuan sat in the corner, quietly eating her food, unable to get a word in edgewise.
I felt extremely uncomfortable, and my social anxiety was almost acting up.
Just then, Lin Yushi's phone, which was on the table, suddenly started vibrating.
She glanced down at the screen, and her eyes lit up instantly, as if they had been blessed.
Lin Yushi immediately jumped up from her chair, her face beaming with a bright smile.
"Wanxing, my boyfriend is here. I'm going to pick him up."
Xia Wanxing was taken aback, somewhat surprised.
"So fast? I thought you'd have to wait ages."
Lin Yushi immediately raised her chin and deliberately raised her voice by eight octaves.
He looked smug, as if afraid the people in the private room wouldn't hear him.
"That's right, my boyfriend adores me. I tell him where I am, and he comes right away."
"Let me tell you, my boyfriend's family is really powerful; they own several large companies."
"Her assets are well over ten figures, not much less than Wanxing's!"
Upon hearing this, several other wealthy young men nearby immediately cast envious glances their way.
Everyone praised her for finding a wealthy boyfriend, saying she was a true winner in life.
Lin Yushi was flattered and, with her chin held high, ran out of the private room in her high heels.
A few minutes later, the door to the private room was pushed open again.
Lin Yushi walked in, arm in arm with a young man in his twenties.
They practically clung to each other, they were so sticky.
The young man was Huang Shaofeng, dressed in a bespoke suit, his hair slicked back and polished.
He looked arrogant, and his hand naturally wrapped around Lin Yushi's waist.
He surveyed the private room as if inspecting his own territory.
Huang Shaofeng forced a polite smile and began to speak.
"Hello everyone, my name is Huang Shaofeng. I'm here uninvited this time, I hope I haven't disturbed you all?"
The people in the private room immediately smiled and said they wouldn't disturb them, and their attitude was very polite.
Huang Shaofeng casually pulled out a chair, sat down, and leaned back, instantly exuding an aura of power.
He waved his hand and spoke with such great pride and magnanimity.
"Everyone, feel free to order whatever you want to eat today, and take whatever you want to drink."
"I'll treat everyone to everything, so just relax and have fun, don't hold back."
As soon as these words were spoken, a cheer erupted in the private room.
Everyone praised President Huang for his generosity, showering him with compliments.
Lin Yushi leaned against Huang Shaofeng, her smugness practically overflowing.
He even glanced at Xia Wanxing and Lu Qingyuan, his boastful intentions written all over his face.
Looking at this scene, Lu Qingyuan felt extremely uncomfortable.
He shrank back into the corner, feeling utterly remorseful.
If she had known it was a gathering of rich kids, she would never have come, no matter what. It was a total social disaster.
Compared to the noise in the downstairs private rooms, the VIP private rooms on the top floor of the hotel were much quieter.
The private room was more spacious and quiet, with famous paintings and calligraphy hanging on the walls and antique ornaments displayed on the shelves.
It exudes understated luxury, with even the air filled with a faint scent of sandalwood.
Jiang Zhenbang held the wine glass with both hands, leaned slightly forward, and had a respectful smile on his face.
"Brother Lu, it is my honor to have you grace us with your presence."
"This glass of wine is for you, bottoms up!"
Lu Jingchen remained calm, raised his cup to his lips, and took a small sip.
He remained completely calm throughout, without the slightest ripple.
Jiang Zhenbang was overjoyed at the sight and, without saying a word, tilted his head back and drank the wine in his cup in one gulp.
After finishing his drink, he even turned the cup upside down to show it to the world, displaying the utmost respect.
He put down his wine glass, waved his hand, and shouted in a deep voice towards the door.
"Someone, bring up the gifts prepared for Brother Lu!"
The side door of the private room opened with a sound, and several men in black carried a tray covered with a red cloth.
They filed in, keeping their footsteps light and barely daring to breathe.
