It's too noisy downstairs, let's eat upstairs.
After closing the car door, Xia Shangni gave Ye Feng a cold look, her eyes filled with contempt and disdain.
"Hmph, I didn't expect scammers to be so sophisticated these days. They'd even impersonate Ye Tianshen just to pick up girls."
"Tell me, how much money do you want before you leave Luoxue..."
"Forget it, I can't be bothered to ask you."
After saying that, he opened the small purse he carried with him, took out a check, wrote a string of numbers on it, and threw it in front of Ye Feng, speaking in an imperious manner.
"Take this two million and get out of here."
Even a clay figure has some earthy spirit. Seeing Xia Shangni targeting him repeatedly, Ye Feng narrowed his eyes, his gaze turning icy, and sneered.
"Don't even mention you, even if your grandfather came, he wouldn't have the guts to talk to me like that."
If it weren't for Ouyang Luoxue's sake, he would have slapped her to death long ago.
Xia Shangni was startled.
In that instant, she felt as if she were being watched by a ferocious beast, her whole body trembling with fear. She dared not be presumptuous any longer and jumped into the car.
"Alright, since you claim to be Ye Tianshen, then come and follow me if you dare."
Xia Shangni floored the accelerator, and the sports car roared away, leaving Ye Feng behind.
Inside the car, Ouyang Luoxue was taken aback and turned to look behind her through the rear windshield.
"Shangni, what are you doing? Why did you leave Xiaofeng alone? Go back right now."
Xia Shangni ignored her and kept scolding her with a look of disappointment.
"Luoxue, what can I say about you? You've been scammed, and you're still here counting money for others."
"If you hadn't met me today, you would have been swindled out of even your underwear."
Such a vulgar metaphor made Ouyang Luoxue blush.
"Shangni, what are you saying? Xiaofeng really is Ye Tianshen! Why don't you believe me!"
Ouyang Luoxue was not worried about Ye Feng at all.
She knew her man's capabilities all too well.
He was invincible across the globe, and even the United States and the Japanese couldn't do anything about him.
Xia Shangni held her forehead, utterly speechless at her best friend's "deeply poisoned" attitude.
So he asked in return.
"Alright, since you're so insistent that he is Ye Tianshen, what proof do you have?"
"I--"
Now it was Ouyang Luoxue's turn to be speechless, unable to utter a word.
Only then did she realize that she really didn't have any strong evidence to prove that Ye Feng was Ye Tianshen.
After all, Ye Feng didn't have the words "Ye Tianshen" etched on his face.
Even if it were really engraved, probably no one would believe it.
Ye Feng's ID card would not have such a name on it.
These are just nicknames given to Ye Feng by the people of Daxia out of gratitude, and there is no way to prove them.
Seeing that Ouyang Luoxue was speechless after being rebuked, Xia Shangni couldn't bear to blame her anymore and patiently advised her.
"He can't come up with the money, can he? That kid's obviously a liar."
"To tell you the truth, just last month, the Martial Arts Management Division of Shanghai cracked several cases of people impersonating Ye Tianshen. Two of the victims were beautiful women who were cheated out of money and sexually assaulted."
Ouyang Luoxue was both amused and exasperated, and stopped trying to explain herself.
Her best friend was convinced that Ye Feng was a fraud, and no matter how much she pleaded, he wouldn't believe her.
The two chatted in the car, sharing their experiences over the years.
Xia Shangni deliberately drove through Shanghai in a maze of turns, leaving Ye Feng far behind.
Finally, the car stopped in front of a secluded clubhouse.
A bright red flag of the Great Xia Dynasty fluttered in the wind in front of the clubhouse.
Tianlong Club is an enterprise under the Shanghai branch of Tianlong Chamber of Commerce.
Those who come here to spend money are all the powerful and wealthy members of Shanghai's high society.
The club only serves members; ordinary people, regardless of their status or wealth, are not qualified to enter.
The two got off the car, chatting and laughing.
Xia Shangni, a member of the establishment, led Ouyang Luoxue inside, where they were greeted respectfully by the staff at the entrance.
"Luo Xue, this is the most upscale club in Shanghai. It's backed by the Tianlong Chamber of Commerce. You can't just get in if you have money."
Xia Shangni's tone revealed an undisguised arrogance.
Being able to showcase your abilities in front of your best friends and old classmates is something to be proud of.
Ouyang Luoxue looked around.
The clubhouse courtyard features a small bridge over a flowing stream, winding corridors, and uniquely shaped rockeries. Lotus flowers bloom gracefully in the pond, creating a picturesque scene.
"The environment here is quite nice. Xiao Feng is the president of the Tianlong Chamber of Commerce."
Xia Shangni rolled her eyes wildly.
"Luoxue, you're too deeply poisoned."
Inside the clubhouse.
The interior is decorated in a magnificent and opulent style, with valuable antiques displayed everywhere, and the walls are adorned with authentic works of calligraphy and painting by famous artists from various dynasties.
One of them is a bamboo painting by Tang Yin, which combines the use of light and shadow in his brushstrokes, creating a profound artistic conception.
The entire club operates on a membership management system and is not open to the public.
It consists of three floors in total.
The first floor is for entertaining ordinary members.
The entry requirement is a net worth of over 20 billion, and one must also have a certain social background and status.
In this way, some vulgar nouveau riche are turned away.
The second tier is specifically for silver-level members, the entry level of which requires a net worth of over 50 billion yuan, to come from a second-tier wealthy family in Shanghai, and to have a high social reputation.
Ordinary wealthy people are not qualified to enter.
As for the third tier, that's for platinum-level VIP members, exclusively for wealthy businessmen from top-tier aristocratic families, each with a net worth exceeding hundreds of billions.
Ordinary people can only see this type of person on television.
In addition, the most luxurious feature is the clubhouse's rooftop garden.
Even the top-tier wealthy families in Shanghai aren't qualified to enter.
Those who are qualified to enter and spend money are all extremely important figures.
They usually only entertain prominent figures from Beijing; very few locals in Shanghai are qualified to dine there.
"To be honest, I'm just a basic member, so I can only serve you on the first floor."
The first floor has scattered seating areas, which are arranged in a staggered manner among the rockery corridor and pavilions.
Although there were no private rooms, it still had a very atmospheric ambiance.
Xia Shangni appeared humble, but her eyes betrayed an undisguised arrogance.
It's important to understand that while there are many wealthy people in Shanghai, only a minority are truly capable of dining and spending money here.
She had just finished speaking when a voice suddenly came from above.
"It's too noisy and crowded on the first floor, let's eat upstairs instead."
Xia Shangni looked up and was immediately taken aback.
"You...how did you get here..."
