Tonight, the stars shine brightly, and the full moon hangs high.
Mayor Fu's house is surrounded by colorful "little stars" that twinkle softly, and there are plenty of luxury cars here, including Ferraris, Lamborghinis, and Porsches.
This is the coming-of-age ceremony for Fu Meng's daughter, Fu Qingyun.
Many social elites have gathered here, including big bosses from various companies and high-ranking officials. They have come ostensibly to celebrate Fu Qingyun's birthday, but their main purpose is to curry favor with Fu Meng.
It is not Fu Meng who invited them; they came uninvited. Upon hearing the news, everyone prepared gifts and hurried over.
"I will never accept bribes, live a clean life, and do my work with integrity."
This was Fu Meng's oath when he first took office as mayor.
Therefore, these people's intentions will certainly be ineffective. Out of politeness and the occasion, Fu Meng did not drive them away but would not accept their "bribes."
While everyone was chatting, a deep and pleasant engine roar echoed from afar. Soon after, a black sports car stopped beside the house, causing many people to pause their conversations and speculate about who had arrived.
Just seeing that expensive sports car was enough to suggest that the newcomer was someone significant. When Mo Ming stepped out of the car, many assumed he was the son of a wealthy businessman.
If Mo Ming heard this, he would surely scoff at it because in terms of status, he is currently just a bodyguard and driver. He is referred to as a driver only because two stunning women got out of the car.
They immediately captivated the entire audience!
Tonight, Lin Yuan'er wore a strapless red gown that flowed to the ground. Her sleek black hair cascaded casually over her shoulders, her lips painted with bright red lipstick. She moved gracefully, resembling a vibrant and alluring red rose—passionate and radiant.
Especially with her enviable figure that countless women would envy; no matter what she wore, it exuded an air of elegance that made one feel she was "beautiful from afar but not to be touched."
Murong Lian's aura was equally impressive as Lin Yuan'er's. Dressed in a fitted black lace gown, she was irresistibly alluring, her skin hinting at a layer of seductive mystery.
The mysterious black attire gave her an extraordinary elegance, exuding an intoxicating sensuality, especially with her lightly pink-tinted lips that evoked an irresistible urge to take a bite.
Countless people sighed in their hearts, thinking that having a beauty in life makes even being a ghost charming.
However, upon seeing Lin Yuan'er link arms with Mo Ming, they realized that this fiery beauty was out of their reach. They could only pin their hopes on the nearby Murong Lian, hoping to win the favor of the beautiful woman.
Mo Ming led Lin Yuan'er and Murong Lian inside, where Fu Meng immediately approached them with a beaming smile. Many were astonished by the identities of the three newcomers, who received such treatment.
"Mo Ming, you finally made it! Yun'er has been complaining about not seeing you and sulking in her room," Fu Meng said.
Mo Ming smiled wryly and replied, "Uncle, you can't blame me for this. You know how troublesome it is to wait for women."
"Who forced you to wait? You could have just left," Murong Lian scoffed. "Besides, it's only natural for men to wait for women. How many people would want to wait for Yuan'er and I? What do you have to complain about?"
"Alright, Miss Murong, I admit I was wrong," Mo Ming said with a shake of his head.
"Mo Ming, you were indeed wrong. Waiting for women is not excessive, especially for such a beautiful Miss Murong," Fu Meng laughed heartily, patting Mo Ming on the shoulder. He turned to Lin Yuan'er and said, "Yuan'er, go call Yun'er out. Don't keep everyone waiting."
"Got it! I'll definitely get that little girl out as soon as I tell her her cousin-in-law is here," Lin Yuan'er giggled and then said to Murong Lian, "Sister Lian, come with me."
Mo Ming felt a bit frustrated.
"Sure! I don't know anyone here anyway; it's quite boring. I'll go see that little girl who can even give Mo Ming a headache. Maybe I can learn some tricks from her to deal with him," Murong Lian replied eagerly. Ever since she heard about Mo Ming's nemesis, she had been looking for an opportunity to see what kind of person could possess such abilities to counter him.
Mo Ming felt even more annoyed.
The two women walked into the house together. Fu Meng immediately wrapped her arms around Mo Ming's neck and led him to a secluded spot. "Mo Ming, I've heard about your situation. I'm sorry; the award ceremony almost caused you trouble last time."
Mo Ming was momentarily taken aback, then smiled and said, "Those things are all in the past; I've almost forgotten them. I hope you don't take it to heart, Uncle. What’s meant to come will come. I've never been afraid of them; I just worry about you all getting involved."
"I like your personality; it's bold!" Fu Meng laughed a couple of times, somewhat impressed. "I really didn't expect you to have such great abilities. If it weren't for Lin Feng telling me, I wouldn't have known."
Lin Feng was Lin Yuan'er’s father.
"Uncle, since you know about this matter, I hope you won't mention it to anyone else," Mo Ming said seriously. "The fewer people who know about this, the better. I don't want anything to happen to you."
"You can rest assured about that; I won't say a word. Kid, I have high hopes for you—work hard!" Fu Meng smiled and meaningfully patted Mo Ming on the shoulder. "If it weren't for you marrying Yuan'er, I would definitely want you to marry my daughter!"
Mo Ming forced a smile and said, "Please don't joke about that. To be honest, I'm scared when I see your daughter..."
"Dad, what are you and Cousin-in-law talking about? You both look so mysterious and are always laughing."
Fu Qingyun appeared suddenly behind them, looking suspicious as her gaze shifted between Mo Ming and Fu Meng.
"Come on, spill it! I think I heard Cousin-in-law say something about being scared—scared of what?"
Fu Meng immediately laughed a few times and said, "We were just chatting casually; nothing serious. However, your Cousin-in-law just said he was very scared of you. As for why, you two can discuss that. I need to go entertain the guests now."
"This old guy should really be a traitor; he just sold me out directly! The most terrifying thing is that he said it and then ran off! Isn’t that clearly sending me into the tiger's den?" Mo Ming thought helplessly.
"Hmph, Cousin-in-law, you better tell me what I've done to make you scared," Fu Qingyun pouted, looking somewhat dissatisfied but with a hint of pity in her eyes. It was hard to imagine how this girl managed to pull that off.
"Don't look at me with those eyes; that's all nonsense from your dad. Why would I be scared of you?" Mo Ming forced a smile and quickly changed the subject. "By the way, Yun'er, happy birthday!"
"I'll temporarily believe you," Fu Qingyun still eyed Mo Ming suspiciously but eventually smiled and said, "Thanks, brother-in-law! So where's my birthday gift?"
"Uh..." Mo Ming looked frustrated and replied, "Didn’t I already give you your gift before? Why do you still want another one?"
"The gift can only be considered something you and my cousin gave me together, it doesn't count. You need to give me a gift by yourself," Fu Qingyun said with a grin, extending her hand to ask for a present. "Gift, gift, gift..."
Mo Ming really didn't expect Fu Qingyun to make such a fuss. He hadn't prepared any other gifts, and judging by her expression, if he didn't have a gift, she could probably repeat that phrase all night long.
"What do you want? I can go buy it for you right now," Mo Ming said with a wry smile.
"Forget it, I knew you didn't prepare anything," Fu Qingyun said with a disappointed look. "Cousin-in-law just doesn't care about me. Even on my birthday, you forgot to prepare a gift."
Mo Ming was speechless; this girl had an unusual ability to tease him with every word. He felt utterly defeated.
At that moment, two beautiful women, Lin Yuan'er and Murong Lian, walked over and instantly became the center of attention. Even Mo Ming felt some malicious gazes directed at him.
"Enough already, little girl! No wonder you ran off so quickly; you came here to bother your cousin-in-law!" Lin Yuan'er said as she playfully tugged at Fu Qingyun's ear.
Seeing Mo Ming's flustered expression, Murong Lian couldn't help but smirk. "I never thought there would be someone who could actually scare Mo Ming. Little girl, you really have some skills."
"You must be Sister Lian; I've heard my cousin mention you often," Fu Qingyun said with a smile.
"Is that so?" Murong Lian replied with a grin. "Hurry up and tell me what bad things your cousin has said about me. I'll teach her a lesson later and see if she dares to talk nonsense again."
"About her..." Fu Qingyun mischievously glanced at Lin Yuan'er and said, "She said Sister Lian is beautiful and generous, capable and most importantly, Sister Lian also likes Cousin-in-law."
"You little girl, what nonsense are you talking about!"
Lin Yuan'er exclaimed in shock, her eyes wide open.
Mo Ming was equally stunned and remained silent as he looked at Lin Yuan'er, who shook her head in response.
Lin Yuan'er had never said such a thing to Fu Qingyun; it was all just playful banter from Fu Qingyun. However, she had inadvertently revealed Lin Yuan'er's secret feelings.
"I think I understand why Mo Ming is afraid of you. You really dare to say anything! Who told you about this? I don't even know, but you do!" Murong Lian's face turned slightly red, though it wasn't very obvious; only she knew that her cheeks were now burning.
"Yes, I know, hehe... Actually, I was just joking," Fu Qingyun said with a grin. "Sister Lian, Cousin-in-law doesn't have a gift; you must have one, right?"
"You want a gift?" Murong Lian chuckled. "Well, I'm not giving you one!"
Fu Qingyun leaned closer and pleaded, "Sister Lian, please don't refuse! You've already bought it anyway; why keep it? That's such a waste."
"Even if I throw it away, I'm not giving it to you!" Murong Lian replied irritably. "It's your fault for talking nonsense earlier."
"I know I was wrong; I promise I won't say anything silly again. I swear! Really, Sister Lian, just hurry up and give me the gift," Fu Qingyun said while shaking Murong Lian's arm desperately, looking pitiful.
"Alright, you're going to break my arm," Murong Lian said helplessly as she took out a small gift box from her bag and handed it to Fu Qingyun. "Inside the box is a pair of earrings. I hope you'll like them."
Fu Qingyun didn't even look at the earrings in the box before exclaiming, "I love them! As long as it's a gift, I'll like it. Thank you so much, Sister Lian."
