"You don't know the name of the person who invited you? Are you joking? And you said they're waiting for you in the Chunxiao Room... Hmph, everyone knows the Chunxiao Room is specially reserved by our boss for Mayor Cao..."

As he spoke, the young man suddenly froze. As a long-time employee of the Longyue Building, he naturally knew that the famous Chunxiao Room was a private room permanently reserved by the boss for Mayor Cao; it absolutely wasn't a place ordinary people could just enter. After hearing Lin Feng mention the Chunxiao Room, the young man instinctively thought Lin Feng was bluffing. However, a sudden thought struck him: what if Lin Feng was telling the truth...

Could this man actually be a guest of Mayor Cao?!

The young man instinctively cut himself off, almost breaking into a cold sweat. He finally managed to control his expression and said to Lin Feng in a low voice, "I'm sorry, please wait a moment. I'll verify this right away..."

The young man in the black suit walked a few meters away, spoke into his walkie-talkie for a moment, and after glancing at Lin Feng, his expression turned to surprise as he confirmed it. The Passat, looking about 70% new; the young man, around twenty, named Lin Feng—this somewhat nonchalant young man before him was indeed the guest for the Chunxiao Room.

"Ahem... My esteemed guest, I'm truly sorry. I misunderstood earlier. Please alight from your car; the Chunxiao Room is this way..." The man in the black suit felt waves of relief, silently thanking his quick reaction earlier. If he had offended such an important guest in a place like this, it would have been a fatal professional mistake. Losing his job would be the least of his worries; if he caused major trouble, his boss probably wouldn't spare him!

However, the young man in the black suit couldn't help but feel a bit reflective. He greeted and saw off countless wealthy and influential people every day here at the Longyue Building. It was truly rare to see a young man like Lin Feng, who drove a worn-out Passat, looked no different from an ordinary person, and had not a hint of a nouveau riche aura about him!

Such a person, and he turned out to be Mayor Cao's guest. This truly shows how different people have different fates!

Lin Feng followed the young man in the black suit down a quiet path, winding through pavilions and towers. Along the way, he saw countless beauties in cheongsam uniforms, smiling radiantly as they moved about, each one a peerless, naturally gorgeous woman.

"This is quite a place!" Lin Feng exclaimed inwardly. "An upscale club like this isn't somewhere ordinary people even get a chance to enter. How would they know how arduous the daily work of their 'adorable' public servants truly is?"

"This is the top club in Jiangzhou City. Unlike some clubs where you can become a member just by paying, and memberships can be transferred, it's different here. Even if you have money, you might not necessarily be allowed to join. The people who can get in here are all prominent figures in Jiangzhou City... Naturally, the standards here are impeccable..."

A graceful figure suddenly appeared not far in front of Lin Feng, smilingly explaining to him in a very pleasant female voice...

Lin Feng looked up and discovered that this beautiful girl was, to his surprise, Li Liping...

"Senior, I didn't expect to see you here too! Considering we know each other, could you perhaps tell me what's going on?" Lin Feng asked Li Liping, a touch of curiosity in his heart. Being summoned by the Mayor's Wife like this had indeed made him a bit apprehensive. He figured that since Li Liping was, after all, the Mayor's Wife's niece, she might be able to share some inside information so he wouldn't be caught too off guard.

"The reason I'm here is precisely to tell you what's going on..." Li Liping pursed her lips, cast a reproachful glance at Lin Feng, and said with some embarrassment.

Then, Li Liping took a golden card from her bag, briefly showed it to the young man guiding Lin Feng, and said to him, "Your services are no longer needed here; you can leave now! I'll take the guest in myself!"

The young man leading Lin Feng was momentarily stunned by Li Liping's striking beauty. It wasn't until Li Liping showed him the golden card that he came to his senses. He realized the beautiful girl standing before him must have a remarkable identity and instantly dared not look any longer. Upon hearing Li Liping's request, the young man in black obediently headed out, feeling increasingly envious of Lin Feng. This seemingly unremarkable young man wasn't so simple after all; he was a guest of the Mayor and was even greeted by such a stunning beauty! His identity definitely wasn't simple!

"Alright, no one's around now. Senior, can you tell me what's really going on? Why did Aunt Cao suddenly call me and ask me to come see her? I'm not exactly mentally prepared for something like meeting the parents..." Lin Feng asked, laughing casually.

Li Liping's expression, however, was not as relaxed as Lin Feng's. She was here because Cao Ying had secretly texted her, arranging for her to inform Lin Feng about the gravity of the situation... Of course, Li Liping herself was the instigator of the whole affair, and she didn't want the budding romance between Lin Feng and her cousin, which hadn't even truly begun, to be abruptly ended by her aunt.

"Lin Feng, first, I need to apologize to you for today's events. I accidentally caused this... Blame it all on me. Don't blame my cousin; she was completely unaware and got dragged into this by me!" Li Liping, for once, apologized to Lin Feng in a soft voice, a pitiable expression on her face...

"Huh?" Lin Feng looked at Li Liping in surprise. He had never seen her speak so softly before. True to the saying, 'it's easier to change rivers and mountains than a person's inherent nature,' he didn't believe she could have changed her disposition so quickly. If she was acting like this, there was only one possibility: she had really gotten into serious trouble!

Could today's situation be really unfavorable? Lin Feng finally felt a flicker of nervousness.

"Lin Feng, you need to be prepared... I... I accidentally revealed your relationship with my cousin to my aunt... When she found out you're much younger than my cousin, she felt you two weren't suitable. She's called you over this time, probably... because she wants you to stop seeing my cousin! I didn't mean to tell my aunt, you... you mustn't blame me!" Li Liping, forcing herself, finally explained the situation to Lin Feng, her face somewhat pale, clearly quite frightened.

So that was it. After hearing Li Liping's explanation, Lin Feng at least had a basic understanding of the situation. Besides, he and Cao Ying hadn't had any substantial interactions yet. That arrogant Aunt Cao couldn't possibly bring up something that hadn't even happened, could she?

"What is Cao Ying's opinion?" Lin Feng stared at Li Liping and asked in a calm voice.

"My cousin, of course, doesn't want Aunt Cao to interfere. But, in this matter, I'm afraid my cousin will have a hard time persuading her..." Li Liping said, frowning.

Lin Feng finally breathed a sigh of relief. As long as Cao Ying hadn't decided to cut ties with him, this matter could at least be discussed!

"Hmph! I guessed correctly. Li Ping, you are indeed here too! Presumably, this young man is that Lin Feng, correct?" Just as Lin Feng had breathed his sigh of relief, an elegant-looking woman in her thirties walked over from not far away. She looked at him and Li Liping with a grim expression and said in a low, heavy voice.

"Aunt..." Li Liping's face instantly turned deathly pale upon seeing the elegant woman.
