Su Gongyang had not intended to inform Su Yongchun and the others, for these matters were not something ordinary people could be involved in. Yet, who could have expected that Su Yongchun and his group would behave so foolishly?
Shock also flickered through Su Xiaoxiao's beautiful eyes. She knew Lin Mo was formidable, but she hadn't realized just how formidable he was until now. She now understood that in front of Lin Mo, she, the young Miss of the Su Family, really was insignificant!
Having heard Su Gongyang's words, the women present couldn't help but reveal looks of envy as they watched Xia Mengdie.
The Bai Family's mansion in Qi City, located at the boundary of Ha City, occupied the most expensive golden area with a land area of about a thousand acres. The entire mansion was worth several billion yuan, which showed just how astonishing the Bai Family's wealth was.
However, today, the entrance of the Bai Family's mansion was crowded with luxury cars, bustling with activity. Many influential people from the Northeast who had ties with the Bai Family came from afar to congratulate them. Bai Chengyang was getting engaged, so they had prepared a banquet in advance to entertain the guests. They were just waiting for Bai Chengyang to bring Ye Ziqin back to hold the engagement banquet.
"Wow, what a luxurious villa, much bigger than our house," a girl with a ponytail said, her face flushed with surprise.
"What's so good about that? I'm not even used to living in such a big house," a young man, about twenty, scoffed.
While speaking, the young man's eyes inadvertently swept across the scene and saw a cold-looking young man slowly walking on the snow-covered ground. He took each step with equal distance, leaving no footprints in the snow.
"Lin Mo?" the young man exclaimed with delight.
The person was indeed Lin Mo. Lin Mo had only taken half an hour to reach Qi City on foot, faster than a full-throttle car.
Lin Mo looked at the young man, also showing a hint of surprise, "Chen Junyang?"
This young man was Chen Junyang, one of Lin Mo's classmates from university. Lin Mo had not expected to encounter him here.
At school, Lin Mo knew Chen Junyang was from the Northeast, but he had the face and build of a Southerner. Additionally, during their school days, Chen Junyang had always appeared as a poor scholar, but now he was dressed in branded clothing, clearly coming from a wealthy family.
"I was about to ask what you are doing here," Chen Junyang said with a happy smile upon seeing his old friend.
"Just wandering around, saw the crowd and came over to see what's happening," Lin Mo said indifferently.
Lin Mo glanced at him, smiled lightly, and said, "I couldn't tell your family was so wealthy. You always played poor in school."
Chen Junyang's face turned red as he forced a smile, "Isn't it all to find true love? Turns out, without money, there really is no love."
Then, Chen Junyang looked up at Lin Mo with admiration, "Unlike you, Lin Mo. You're not only strong but also extraordinarily charming. So many girls want to throw themselves at you, but they're not even qualified!"
While they were speaking, a man and a woman approached, both about in their early forties. The man wore a stern expression in a suit and leather shoes, while the woman was dressed in luxurious jewelry.
"Junyang, is this your friend?" the woman asked, nodding towards Lin Mo.
Chen Junyang quickly introduced him, "Yes, his name is Lin Mo, a classmate of mine from university. I didn't expect to run into him here."
The woman asked, "Are you here to attend the Bai Family's banquet?"
"I just wandered over; I'm not here for the banquet," Lin Mo shook his head.
"Mom, it should be fine if I take him inside, don't worry," Chen Junyang hurriedly spoke.
"Don't cause trouble. Mr. Wang will be here soon. Don't embarrass me," Chen Junyang's father sternly cautioned and immediately headed towards the villa.
Chen Junyang breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Lin Mo, let's go inside and have some fun. I'm honored to have a classmate like you while I'm studying in Imperial City."
Lin Mo smiled wryly, and as he walked inside with Chen Junyang, he noticed Chen Junyang had a troubled expression as if he was worried about something.
"Are you my brother's classmate? Can't my brother find a girlfriend in college?" The little girl walking next to Chen Junyang curiously looked at Lin Mo and asked.
"Kid, don't ask such questions," Chen Junyang glared at her, feeling somewhat helpless as he introduced, "This is my sister, Chen Guhui."
The little girl, looking about seven or eight years old, mischievously stuck out her tongue.
"Don't you have any confidence in your brother?" Lin Mo asked with a light smile.
"It's not that I don't have confidence in him; it's just that if he was as handsome as you, probably many girls would chase after him, but unfortunately..." Chen Guhui giggled slyly.
"You..." Chen Junyang glared fiercely at Chen Guhui.
Along the way, Chen Guhui chattered nonstop while Lin Mo only smiled and answered. Once they entered the courtyard, where countless flowers were blooming just like in spring, and even the temperature was much warmer than outside by several degrees, making it delightfully refreshing.
"Wow, so many beautiful flowers?" Chen Guhui said excitedly.
"I heard that the Bai Family has a Feng Shui master who specializes in Dragon Seeking Golden Point and vein distribution Array Formation," Chen Junyang mentioned. "The rumors must be true, otherwise how could it feel like spring here while it's icy cold outside?"
Lin Mo looked indifferent. This kind of Array Formation was only a simpler type than the Spirit Gathering Array. It simply adjusted the Five Elements directions and drew up earth's energy, which is why flowers could bloom so vibrantly here.
Chen Guhui picked a flower and held it while hopping around, but suddenly she bumped into someone.
"Stupid girl, don't you look where you're going? My skirt cost eighty thousand yuan, and it's limited edition. Can you afford to pay if it's stained?" a sharp voice rang out.
Lin Mo lifted his head to see a woman in her early twenties, dressed in a silver gown and wearing delicate makeup, who was rather pretty but seemed to have a nasty heart.
"Miss Wang," Chen Junyang frowned as he saw the woman.
"Oh, it's the Chen Family," the woman looked up dismissively.
The rose in Chen Guhui's hand fell to the ground. The woman seemingly overlooked it but then deliberately stepped on it heavily and said coldly, "You better teach your sister well. Run into me again, and I might not be able to stop myself from slapping her."
"You..." Chen Junyang clenched his fists angrily, his knuckles turning white and anger apparent on his face.
"What do you want to do? If it weren't for the Wang Family's help, could your Chen Family even be here? You have the nerve to get mad at me, a piece of trash," Wang Ni sneered. "Also, remember, if it wasn't for our Wang Family lending you money, your dad would have been bankrupt by now."
Chen Junyang's face flushed with anger as he shouted, "What do you think you are? Pregnant with someone else's child, yet you still want to marry me? I, Chen Junyang, don't want your broken goods."
The surrounding people immediately turned their attention towards them. Chen Guhui trembled with fear, her innocent, wide eyes terrified as she clutched at Lin Mo and Chen Junyang's clothes, hiding behind the two.
