Business was booming; money was pouring into his pockets.
From now on, without that fool Qian Zixuan, Shuzhou will be the number one playboy in Shuzhou.
He was pleased just thinking about how enthusiastically those fireworks displays would welcome and flatter him.
Behind him, a servant bowed and said, "Young master, there was a strange man with Miss Ye all day. The two walked side by side, but there was no further action between them."
Luo Sheng's smile vanished instantly. He closed his fan and turned around. "A strange man?"
The servant smiled wryly, "Yes, that person even came here to eat with the Ye family."
It's New Year's Eve, and he doesn't want to get scolded.
Luo Sheng smiled again, "You've come at the perfect time!"
Since the miracle doctor doesn't like it, let's take a look at his money.
He's been with so many women, and every single one of them loves money.
The servant breathed a sigh of relief.
"Where are they sitting? Lead the way!"
Luo Sheng kicked him directly in the butt.
The servant tensed up again; he had relaxed a little too soon.
Upon arriving at the private room, Luo Sheng didn't even knock; he simply pushed the door open and walked in.
Everyone looked at him.
Luo Sheng smiled broadly, fanned himself, and bowed deeply to Ye Panjiu.
His bow exuded boundless elegance.
"Miss Ye, you didn't even say you were coming. Today, as the owner of Jinxiu Pavilion, I'll treat you to all the best wine and dishes. Please eat and drink to your heart's content!"
Su Yan glanced at Yan Yu.
Yan Yu wished she could grab a knife and kill this person who had suddenly appeared right now. Who was this guy?
His family rarely hosts a dinner party, so why is someone trying to take it from him?
No one spoke.
Luo Sheng wasn't embarrassed. He fanned himself again and looked Su Yan up and down.
This person doesn't have a single gold, silver, or jade ornament on him, so he doesn't look like a wealthy person at all. Wouldn't that make him easy to manipulate?
Then, looking at Ye Panjiu with his eyes, he said, "Miss Ye, you can't have a poor gigolo who only knows how to spend women's money. He's all soft-boned. Do you think he can be hard in other areas?"
Ye Panjiu was startled, staring blankly at someone, a rare sight for her.
Those members of the Ye family who understood stared wide-eyed at Luo Sheng.
Confused, he looked at Su Yan, thinking of the New Year's gift this man had given him that morning. This man was poor.
If he's poor, then the Ye family... are beggars?
However, Lord Su's face is indeed quite pale.
Yan Yu looked at Luo Sheng with a sorrowful expression.
Su Yan paused for a moment, then asked, "And who are you, sir?"
Luo Sheng nimbly closed his fan. "I remain true to my name and surname; I am Luo Sheng of the Luo family of Shuzhou!"
The thought of the person's immediate expression of fear, flattery, and ingratiation filled him with elation.
Su Yan smiled and said, "So you are Hongyuan's son. How has my father been lately? I remember he couldn't go back to Shuzhou for the New Year, and he specifically asked me to come to your house for a meal when I came to Shuzhou."
The smile on Luo Sheng's face had completely vanished, and his once dashing face was now deathly pale.
He moved his lips, but only managed to utter a single word, "You..."
Su Yan stood up and looked at him. "Hongyuan is the most polite person. He always bows to me whenever he sees me. I have told him several times that he doesn't need to bow, but he always says that etiquette cannot be ignored."
After saying that, Su Yan lightly patted his shoulder.
Luo Sheng immediately knelt down, "I..."
His heart was pounding like thunder, deafeningly loud.
It turns out that this pretty boy was the distinguished guest that the family had been preparing to welcome recently.
So this was the prime minister his father admired most.
His father, Luo Hongyuan, held the official rank of Vice Minister of Rites, a fourth-grade official, and his study was filled with calligraphy by the Prime Minister.
When he shuts up or opens his mouth, he loves to talk about what the prime minister said.
Luo Sheng was so anxious that he was sweating profusely, but he couldn't utter a word.
The Ye family sipped their tea, quietly observing the situation.
Su Yan sighed, "Look at you, you're just like your father. Get up quickly, it's the New Year."
Luo Sheng shook his head vigorously, knelt down and grabbed Su Yan's leg, "I deserve to die! I was blind and didn't recognize your greatness, please forgive me, sir! Please, sir, for my father's sake, don't hold it against me."
Su Yan waved his hand, "You're a junior, how could I hold it against you?"
Yan Yu was already used to her parents' way of speaking.
The Ye family members exclaimed in admiration, "The saying 'a prime minister's belly can hold a boat' is truly true."
Ye Panjiu raised an eyebrow; she didn't believe him at all.
Luo Sheng's face was full of hope, "Will the master still come to our house for dinner as promised?"
Su Yan sighed, pulled her hand away from his, sat back down, and picked up her tea.
Luo Sheng's face was cracked, and his heart was completely shattered.
He slammed his head against the ground. "Please, sir, do not blame my father because of me. I apologize to you!"
After three earth-shattering kowtows, he finished.
Su Yan spoke up, "I think this Golden Delight Pavilion is quite good."
Luo Sheng immediately said, "From now on, the owner of this Golden Delight Pavilion is you, sir!"
Su Yan shook his head and looked at Ye Panjiu, "Panjiu is right. How can I, an official, engage in business? Young Luo, don't you dare ruin me."
Ye Panjiu's eye twitched.
Luo Sheng didn't dare to look at Ye Panjiu again, and bowed deeply, saying, "Greetings, Boss Ye!"
Ye Panjiu smiled and said, "Then bring me a serving of all the best wine and dishes from my Jinxiu Pavilion. Now, please leave and don't disturb our meal any longer."
Su Yan looked at her and smiled brightly.
Luo Sheng didn't even dare to stand up; he retreated while still kneeling.
He feels like he could gouge his own eyes out right now!
If my father finds out about this, I definitely won't get a single penny in the future!
Aaaaaaahhhhh!
