Only Nangong Qi's second uncle maintained connections outside, while Lu Fan didn't see anyone else after searching around.

Apart from Nangong Qi, the whole situation seemed to have nothing to do with the Nangong family, which made Lu Fan feel somewhat strange.

"What's going on with the Nangong family? I just looked around and only saw Nangong Qi's second uncle. Do they not care at all?"

This is what makes him stand out from the outside world.

Soon after, Nangong Qi came to Lu Fan's side, while Jiang Manyue kept hugging Lu Fan tightly as if to assert her ownership.

After all, he's here now, so he can't just keep putting up with things like before.

If that's the case, wouldn't the other party just take advantage of us and go even further?

"Sister Nangong, today is your birthday banquet, and this is something I specially prepared for you."

After Jiang Manyue finished speaking, she handed the gift in her hand to Nangong Qi.

Nangong Qi accepted the gift and looked at Lu Fan beside him. In his opinion, Lu Fan's arrival was the best gift, and this gift didn't mean much to him.

"Where are your father and the others? I haven't seen them."

Nangong Qi said with some helplessness, in his opinion this was more like a gathering of adults, just using their name as a pretext.

"Who knows? They're probably talking about it in a secret place. It's not convenient to do it in the outside world where there are too many people watching."

At this point, Nangong Qi was somewhat helpless, after all, it was really as he said. Lu Fan, who was standing to the side, hesitated for a moment, but did not continue to say anything, since even his father was not by his side on his birthday.

It's a bit inappropriate to say this out loud.

“Your father dotes on you quite a bit. He must be busy with work, so you have to be more accommodating sometimes.”

After Lu Fan finished speaking, he looked around.

Nangong Qi's second uncle also noticed quickly, and Lu Fan hurriedly came over.

"Hello, I am Nangong Qi's second uncle, Nangong Wen. I am in charge of the main hall outside. You can talk to me directly if you have any questions."

Of course, the main character this time is Nangong Qi; he's the most crucial one. You can talk to him about anything.

"Hello, I am Lu Fan from Jiang's Group. It's a pleasure to meet you. I am very pleased to be able to attend Nangong Qi's party this time."

Both of them showed sufficient respect, and it seemed that Nangong Wen had already heard of Lu Fan's reputation before.

After seeing Lu Fan, she kept looking him up and down, as if she wanted to see right through him.

Although Lu Fan felt a little uncomfortable, he could only smile and nod in acknowledgment.

"I often hear my daughter Qiqi mention you. You are truly a handsome and talented person, a rare find."

Lu Fan smiled slightly, but he sensed more of a threat in those words.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Manyue, who was standing to the side, tightened her grip on Lu Fan's arm, and the two of them made Nangong Wen smile slightly.

"Second Uncle, what are you saying? They are all my friends. If you continue like this, I will tell my father."

Tell him you bullied me, and see how he deals with you!

Nangong Wen immediately cowered upon hearing this.

"Alright, alright, I won't say anything more, you're the birthday person today, whatever you say is right, I won't argue with you."

After finishing his sentence, Nangong Wen turned and left in a hurry. Lu Fan sensed that he was probably going to report to someone else.

They quickly disappeared into the hall.

“You don’t need to worry about him. My second uncle is just like that. He likes to joke around with people. I always tell my father about him.”

As they were talking, a figure walked out from the stage. It was Nangong Qi's father. His arrival made everyone in the venue feel a powerful aura.

Everyone looked towards the person on the second floor, and Nangong Qi quickly went up to greet them.

"I'm so glad that everyone could come to my daughter's dance party. There's not much to say, just enjoy the food, drinks, and fun."

Between conversations, Lu Fan also kept observing the crowd, and he noticed that many people were acting in a fawning manner.

Among the crowd, there were others who were constantly observing their surroundings and the people on the stage, and it was clear that the other party should have some connection with that so-called force.

"It seems that the other side is also probing the Nangong family's background. This time, they came not only to watch a good show, but also to witness a showdown between the two sides. I wonder who will have the last laugh."

Lu Fan smiled slightly. He hadn't expected the other party to extend their reach so far. At the same time, he also sensed the immense support behind this powerful strength. He knew that his path ahead would be more difficult than he had imagined.

"Who cares about all that? We'll deal with whatever comes our way. It's better for the Nangong family to remain on the opposite side than to join them."

At this point, Lu Fan nodded. It was indeed true. If he were to actually join the other side, he would feel like crying.

After that simple opening, the entire ball reached its climax thanks to Nangong Qi's glamorous appearance.

It ignited the atmosphere of the entire ball.

However, observant people like Lu Fan kept looking around and then casually found a spot to sit down.

They wanted to take this opportunity to showcase themselves.

Soon someone noticed, and Lu Fan quickly came over.

"You're President Lu from the Jiang Group? I didn't expect to meet you here!"

Lu Fan looked at the other person, not knowing their exact identity for a moment. A smile appeared on his lips, but he felt a little emotional.

The other person's words just now seemed to be an indirect mockery of his own lack of strength.

However, upon closer reflection, the gap between myself and the other party is not small; none of the participants here are weak.

"May I ask who you are? Our small temple cannot contain such a great figure as you. We really do not know."

Although he was smiling, the other party was clearly displeased and somewhat disgusted by Lu Fan's actions.

However, Lu Fan could sense that the other party was likely testing him by saying such a thing.

After all, he didn't believe that his reputation had spread to everyone's ears, since he knew the identity of such a stranger on their first meeting.

"There's no need for formalities. I just want to tell you that I'm from Nanshan City, which is right here. As for my status, you can look it up."

But someone like you should figure out your place as soon as possible, and stop throwing money at everything.

Some people are beyond your control. I advise you to be sensible and avoid causing trouble for yourself.
