"Sheng Xinhua is like a thorny rose... beautiful, indeed, but she can hurt you." Zhang Jin wholeheartedly agreed and advised, "No one is blind; everyone knows the daughter of the Sheng Family is pretty. But look, after so many years, who dares to provoke her?"

"It's said that Zhong Tianyi has been fond of her for years, repeatedly inviting her for drinks and meals, but unfortunately, she always turned him down... With such a father standing in the way, Zhong Tianyi also couldn't do much about her."

"The falling water has intention, but the flowing water is heartless. If she's not interested, we can't force her..." Shen Lewen raised his glass towards Zhang Jin and said with a smile, "It's better to secretly wish them well."

"What? Just like that you're giving up? That's not your style."

"What else can I do? Use force? Even Zhong Tianyi didn't dare to do it; I'm not bold enough."

"If you ask me, the power of your Shen Family isn't any less than the Zhong Family back then... Zhong Tianyi isn't a match for you. If you insist, even the Finance Minister might not withstand it."

"Matters like this should be mutual. If there's a chance, I'll pursue her again. She's unmarried, I'm unmarried, there's still a chance."

"That's true." Zhang Jin nodded in agreement and laughed, "Right now, in Phoenix City, the most sought-after are the children of your Shen Family... Who wouldn't want to step into Dragon Gate?"

"Be careful with such words," Shen Lewen cautioned.

"We've been friends for so many years. I wouldn't say this in front of others, but what's unspeakable between us?"

"The situation is still undecided; there are countless possibilities."

"Forget it... Even if Qin Lu's family and the remnants of the Tang Family can't stir up much trouble." Zhang Jin sneered and laughed, "I just don't understand, what bewitched the Qin Family? How could they make such foolish choices?"

"Had they stood with Shen Family or remained neutral... Wouldn't they still be the Empire's most illustrious family? And now? Fleeing to inhospitable places to seek refuge."

"Everyone has their own aspirations. Who knows what they are thinking?" Shen Lewen deeply scorned the Qin Family's choice.

A single mistake leads to continuous missteps.

Their current predicament is their deserved retribution.

If they had been smarter, they wouldn't have fallen to such a state.

It's laughable that Qin Jianyi was named 'Seven Stars', hailed as a genius boy comparable to Shen Xinglan...

What is he doing now?

Even his illustrious cousin, from the moment of his birth, was dazzling, worthy of all praise.

What about now?

Runyan's Law: Those who laugh last are the final victors.

At the box entrance, a girl dressed in Imperial Mansion staff uniform approached.

"What's your business?" the guard at the door inquired.

This place is a private box; general personnel can't enter.

"Service." The girl replied in a low voice, "The supervisor said there's a shortage of staff inside, and told me to go in and help."

Her voice was low and her appearance was very common.

While speaking, she handed over her work badge from her chest.

The guard checked the badge, and after scanning the certificate electronically, found no issues, and gestured for her to enter.

The girl pushed the door open, and the huge noise instantly overwhelmed her.

Everyone was busy with their own affairs, and no one paid attention to the arrival of an ordinary staff member.

She glanced from the corner of her eye at Shen Lewen sitting in the center of the sofa, then started tidying up from the farthest corner.

She packed the empty bottles on the table into the box, and then poured fresh wine into the empty glasses.

With her head bowed, she gradually approached her target person step by step.
