Coming out of the luxury car was not Li Feng, but a man Shen Yanran didn't recognize.
Judging by his demeanor, it was obvious he was heading toward them.
Oh, no.
He was heading toward Wang Jin'er.
"Jin'er, do you know him?"
Shen Yanran slightly furrowed her brows. She had been classmates with Wang Jin'er for several years, and they stayed in touch after graduation, always remaining the best of friends. The men who appeared around Wang Jin'er were mostly known to Shen Yanran, if not all.
In fact, since college, most of the guys pursuing Wang Jin'er were dealt with by Shen Yanran herself.
No objections.
Beaten until you comply.
During her university days, she was quite the tomboy, calling Wang Jin'er her "wife."
But this man in front of her, Shen Yanran had no impression of him at all, yet his actions showed that he was not just any small fry.
"Aunt."
The young man who stepped out of the car approached the two of them and bowed to Wang Jin'er, saying, "Aunt."
"Aunt…!"
Shen Yanran was dumbfounded as she watched him call Wang Jin'er "Aunt," instantly filled with disbelief, and looked at Wang Jin'er with utter confusion.
"Jin'er, do you have such a big grandson?"
"You got the wrong person, right?"
Wang Jin'er frowned, unable to recall ever meeting this person, let alone being called "Aunt" by him.
Not recognized?
Seeing Wang Jin'er's expression, Shen Yanran could tell she wasn't pretending. She thought to herself, with how close she was to Jin'er, she'd have seen anyone related to the Wang Family. If there really was such a big grandson, how could she not know?
"Hey, is it trendy now to pretend to be a grandson while hitting on someone? You're quite creative."
"But if you don't want to get beaten, you better scram."
Shen Yanran clenched her knuckles, making a cracking noise, as if to say, don't mistake her for someone weak.
"Miss, don't misunderstand, let me explain."
"Let me introduce myself first, my name is Wang Jinkun. My branch of the family split off from the Wang Family in Taiyuan over a hundred years ago. According to my branch's generational hierarchy, I happen to be in the same generation as Miss Wang's grandson."
"The reason I know the young lady is because a few years ago, my father took me to a Wang Family ancestral ceremony in Taiyuan. Although our branch split off, we never forgot that our ancestors were the Wang Family of Taiyuan."
"So, Miss Wang is my Aunt. I never expected Aunt to grace us with her presence, and I'm truly honored."
Wang Jinkun presented himself very humbly.
The relationship between his branch and the Wang Family of Taiyuan was hard to verify. Truth be told, he was long removed from the Wang Family hierarchy.
However, in these times, having an ancestry with some legacy is not a bad thing, especially given that the Wang Family of Taiyuan is a prestigious and renowned family.
The Wang Family in Changkong, rising as a new family within just two to three decades during the golden era of real estate, became a new power in Changkong.
Shengshi Group is a top-10 real estate enterprise in Changkong and a top-100 group, with assets in the tens of billions in the group and a personal wealth of billions, making the Wang Family appear exceedingly prosperous.
In today's world, being wealthy is the capital, and money lets you boast.
But once you reach a certain level, you'll learn that money does not change your nouveau riche status, and at that point, it's no longer about the money.
It's about lineage, heritage, if your ancestors were impressive.
If your family was among the five illustrious families or seven distinguished households, then you'd naturally be a cut above the rest. Given his last name was Wang, there was no reason not to connect with the Wang Family of Taiyuan.
Though a bit presumptuous, sometimes one's pride needs to be set aside.
Wang Jinkun knew this well.
After all, the Wang Family of Taiyuan was not merely an empty shell with a famous ancestor. The Wang Family's own heritage was rich, with the top four divine systems having assets exceeding a trillion yuan, making them an unstoppable force in the Northern region.
And Changkong lay right under the Wang Family of Taiyuan's watchful eye.
Wang Jinkun regarded this heiress of the Wang Family before him, and despite the fact that she wasn't necessarily older than him, Wang Jinkun called her "Aunt" without a hitch.
"Aunt, please grant me the honor to show some hospitality. If my father knew you came to Changkong and I didn't serve you well, he'd surely beat me."
Having said that, Wang Jinkun stepped aside: "Aunt, I've prepared the car. Our Shengshi Hotel is the finest five-star hotel in Changkong, and I've arranged the best presidential suite for you."
"Shengshi Hotel is your family's?"
Shen Yanran looked at Wang Jinkun.
"Yes."
A touch of pride crept onto Wang Jinkun's face. The beauty beside Aunt was appealing, with a pretty face and a great figure.
And judging by her closeness with Wang Jin'er…
Perhaps he could find a breakthrough through her.
The rumor was that this young lady was the Clan Leader's only daughter, highly favored. If she could put in a good word for his family, reestablishing their lineage might just be possible.
"We were just heading to Shengshi Hotel. Why not let your grandson give us a ride?"
Shen Yanran's eyes twinkled. She wasn't trying to cozy up to the wealthy. A luxury car wasn't enough to make her view Wang Jinkun differently. While the Shen Family might not be rich, they certainly had influence.
Wang Jin'er furrowed her brows slightly.
This Wang Jinkun just started calling her Aunt, but as far as Wang Jin'er knew, she didn't have such a grandson, though she had some impression of Shengshi Group.
That was during an ancestral ceremony.
The other party had wanted to "acknowledge their roots," but her father outright rejected the request, not to mention whether this branch was actually part of the Wang Family.
Even if they were.
Separated for over a century, severing the family ties, and yet wanting to return to the Wang Family now?
Moreover, these years have seen such requests become frequent, often attempted by struggling families. For the Wang Family, such behavior was contemptible.
They were extremely vigilant in this regard.
"Aunt, please get in."
Wang Jinkun stood by the car door, shielding it with his hand above it, confident that Wang Jin'er could not refuse such a kind offer.
"What's wrong, Jin'er?"
Shen Yanran didn't think much of it, just taking a lift with a free ride. As for this grandson business.
Who cares.
If they eat and don't own up.
Even if they deny acquaintance, it's not like it hasn't happened before.
Shen Yanran didn't regard Wang Jinkun as anything significant.
"Are you worried he might have bad intentions? Relax, I'm not that stupid. We'll see what this guy is up to."
Just as Wang Jin'er was about to waver.
A sports car suddenly drifted with a tail flick, coming to a stop beside the luxury car, the movement capturing everyone's attention.
Li Feng pushed open the sports car door, glancing in Wang Jin'er's direction, naturally noticing Wang Jinkun as well.
His eyebrows slightly knitted together.
This guy, he's really everywhere.
The previous matter hadn't been settled, and now he was targeting Wang Jin'er?
Li Feng let out a cold chuckle.
"Jin'er."
Li Feng called out to Wang Jin'er while extending his arm.
