After the person in charge finished making arrangements, he came over and saw Fan Shenglun open the large red envelope and take out something that looked like a document.

Actually, he had just seen Du Guanglong and knew that the gift came from the Huo family.

Excitedly, he picked up the microphone and shouted, "Distinguished guests, now let's reveal the second gift that Young Master Yi received!"

"And this gift was specially prepared by President Huo Xiao for Young Master Yi..."

Fan Shenglun opened it out of curiosity, but after only a couple of glances, his expression changed instantly, and he turned to look at Huo Xiao.

Huo Xiao seemed to have guessed his reaction, and raised his hands high, leading the applause.

When the guests entered, most of them presented their gifts at the entrance. Now that they see how grand the Huo family's gift was, they all regret it!

Wang Chan pouted and snorted, "You should have said you could do it this way earlier, otherwise I would have left that bicycle outside."

When the people around him heard that his gift was just a bicycle, they all booed and jeered.

"Who does Young Master Wang use all his pocket money to support? Gifts and bicycles?"

"Exactly! Lu Yi is rolling in money now, what more could he want!"

"I at least gave you a bottle of perfume I bought from abroad, what the heck is that bicycle of yours..."

"I've never heard of anyone giving a bicycle as a gift in my entire life in this circle. If you can't afford it, don't buy it. Aren't you afraid of embarrassing your Wang family?"

"That's right, the gift I gave Lu Yi was a leather belt, handmade by a famous foreign designer, it cost tens of thousands!"

Wang Chan's face turned red, and his belly bulged out like a toad gathering strength.

He pointed at their noses and yelled, "You guys sit in your turtle shells all day, do you even know anything about bicycles?"

"That's a Montantre I've been collecting for years, much more expensive than your perfume belts! Plus, it's a limited edition, already discontinued!"

The mocking voices around them gradually subsided.

Some people, unable to reach the grapes, are just being sour, deliberately trying to annoy Wang Chan.

"Tch~ It's just Montantre, I thought you were sending Lu Yi the 'Tongue-Tongued Highway Waterway'!"

Wang Chan glared fiercely at the tall, thin boy and retorted sharply.

"Hmph, I thought it was someone important. The Su family has been off the list of richest people in Fengcheng for years, and you still managed to receive an invitation?"

"Your invitation isn't like those fake online beggars who get used as pawns, it's not a counterfeit you bought from a scalper, is it?"

Su Yu was speechless.

The Su family is not as powerful as before, but it has not fallen out of the rankings. It has just lost its ability to make a name for itself in the business world.

Compared to ordinary families, the Su family lived a much more comfortable life.

Besides, he didn't buy the invitation; it was given to him by an uncle's family.

The Su family is a large clan with many branches. The one who had a romantic entanglement with Huo Jingxi is Su Yu's cousin.

After the Huo family's troubles, the Su family branch did enjoy a few years of glory, but suddenly, it was as if the world had turned upside down. The company suffered losses and gradually went downhill.

On the contrary, Su Yu's family lineage has always kept a low profile and bided its time, so it has not been greatly affected.

Su Yu didn't know how sincere the Fan family's invitation was, but his uncle's rejection was very straightforward.

When he went to visit, he saw the invitation casually tossed at the door, picked it up out of curiosity, glanced at it a few times, and asked a few more questions.

Seeing this, the old man said coldly, "If you don't mind that place being so polluted, then go ahead, just don't bring trouble back with you."

Although Su Yu's surname is Su, he has never received much attention from his father because of his poor academic performance. In addition, his mother died early and his father remarried, so his situation is not much better than Lu Yi's.

Now, he can't find any other way but to study hard and try to change his fate.

Seeing that Lu Yi had become a prominent figure in Jiangzhou in such a short time, he only wanted to get closer and take a look, without having any other thoughts.

The gift he brought was just a book, which, among the many wealthy young men, was probably as insignificant as dust.

So the teasing of Wang Chan was simply because they couldn't stand his ostentatious display of wealth.

When his mother was still alive, Su Yu's first bicycle was the Shuimu bicycle on the Fushe Highway.

But ever since the stepmother moved in, the bicycle has disappeared.

His life, full of ups and downs, had taught him a lot of hardship, so when Lu Yi became a sensation online, he kept a close eye on him.

How could he possibly give up this opportunity?

"I can't be bothered to explain!"

Thinking of his simple purpose for coming here, Su Yu put one hand in his pocket and walked away.

In the darkness, he accidentally touched someone's arm, and something fell to the ground with a thud. Su Yu instinctively reached out to help pick it up.

But the owner of the arm beat him to it.

The scent of her perfume hit his nostrils. Su Yu glanced down and saw her lower her hat brim and hide her phone behind her back. He opened his mouth in surprise.

"You didn't hand over your phone?"

"Shh!"

Lu Baoqi pulled up the brim of her hat again, pulled him to a dimly lit spot where there were few people, and whispered, "Don't tell anyone, I can grant you one request..."

Su Yu stared blankly at her, stretched out his finger, and stammered incoherently.

"You're that...that...the actress who played the villainous supporting character...Lu Lu Lu..."

Lu Baoqi slapped away his hand that was poking her cheek. "Don't call me that. I'm Lu Baoqi. You know Lu Yi is my younger brother. I've come to see him. Is that alright?"

Su Yu nodded like a chick pecking at rice, "No, no problem, but why are you dressed like this?"

Lu Baoqi had no time to explain. She was worried that she would be exposed sooner or later, so she was thinking of finding someone to form a partner and run away together.

After considering all the options, no one was more suitable than Su Yu, who could be lured with bribes.
