127: An unexpected guest disrupts happiness.

Jiang Chuan arrived in the Capital City. Mu Qingcheng was still filming a video and couldn't come to pick him up.

Mu Qingcheng was going to ask her assistant Xiao Ke to pick him up, but Jiang Chuan refused.

"Brother Wang, are you back yet? I'm coming over to hang out with you guys."

Jiang Chuan immediately called Wang Cong.

"We're back. Are you in the Capital City? Come over. I was just about to contact you to see when you were free, as I planned to treat you to a meal."

Wang Cong said with a smile after receiving Jiang Chuan's call.

"Okay, I'll come find you guys right away."

Jiang Chuan smiled and replied after learning that Wang Cong and his group were playing Werewolf at a mystery club.

He rushed to the mystery club right away.

"Little Chuan, you're here. Hurry up and come in and sit down."

Jiang Chuan opened the door and saw over a dozen people playing Werewolf. Besides Wang Cong and Qin Dong, everyone else was a sweet-looking internet celebrity girl wearing a JK uniform.

Jiang Chuan hadn't expected so many people, but he nodded and agreed.

"Handsome, do you know how to play Werewolf? Should I teach you?"

"Handsome, in the game we're playing, if you lose, you take off a piece of clothing."

... With Jiang Chuan's arrival, the eyes of the dozen internet celebrity girls in the room immediately brightened. They immediately came up to Jiang Chuan and spoke in sweet, coquettish voices.

"I have a girlfriend."

Jiang Chuan looked at the girls surrounding him. Wang Cong and Qin Dong looked resentful. He immediately used his ultimate move.

"Handsome, it's fine if you have a girlfriend. We're just playing a game anyway."

"Exactly. I don't mind if big brother has a girlfriend."

Some bold internet celebrity girls didn't care at all. Jiang Chuan had no choice but to sit between Wang Cong and Qin Dong.

The internet celebrity girls saw that Jiang Chuan didn't want to stay with them, so they pretended to be sad and looked at him pitifully. But Jiang Chuan didn't care, directly ignoring their gazes. He played when he should play, drank when he should drink, and avoided close contact with anyone.

Jiang Chuan had played Werewolf on his phone, so he was very clear on the rules. However, this was his first time playing offline.

His luck was excellent, and he won more than ten rounds in a row by himself.

Jiang Chuan was so amazing that they were all unwilling to continue playing the game.

"Let's go eat. A new hot pot restaurant just opened in Pudong. They say the flavor is really good, so let's go try it."

Wang Cong and Qin Dong were severely defeated; they were the two who lost the most.

"Sounds great! It's been a long time since I've had hot pot."

"The hot pot restaurant Young Master Wang mentioned must be excellent."

... Everyone agreed.

"Are you done? Sister Mi is treating us to dinner. Okay, I'll be right over."

Jiang Chuan wasn't planning on leaving with Wang Cong and the others anyway. After all, he had promised Mu Qingcheng they would eat dinner together later. When he received Mu Qingcheng's call, he immediately agreed.

"Brother Wang, I'm sorry, Qingcheng called me. I have to go over there. Let's eat together tomorrow."

Jiang Chuan looked at Wang Cong and apologized.

"It's fine, go ahead."

Wang Cong said to Jiang Chuan with a slight smile.

"I'm leaving."

Jiang Chuan left and went straight to the hot pot restaurant Mu Qingcheng had mentioned.

"A hot pot restaurant opened by the Xu Family?"

Jiang Chuan couldn't help but laugh as he looked at the restaurant's name. He hadn't expected the Xu Family to open another branch in the Capital City.

This made sense. Since Xu Jia had withdrawn all his business from South Korea, it was natural for him to open branches elsewhere in the country.

Jiang Chuan arrived at the "Cowherd and Weaver Girl" private room and saw a large group of beautiful women inside—all celebrities and agents under Yang Mi.

Among these celebrities and agents were Yang Mi, Mu Qingcheng, Reba, Sister Hong... Reba, in particular, had acted in several TV series and now enjoyed quite a high level of fame.

"Why are you here?"

Jiang Chuan asked in confusion when he saw a familiar figure in the crowd.

"Why shouldn't I be able to come here?"

Xu Jia, who was sitting next to Reba, looked at Jiang Chuan with a smile and retorted.

Jiang Chuan was speechless.

Xu Jia was the heir of Xu's Hot Pot Restaurant; it was perfectly reasonable for him to come to his own hot pot restaurant.

"Alright, hurry up and sit down. Everyone is waiting for you, and everyone is starving."

Xu Jia immediately took control, speaking to Jiang Chuan with a smile.

"That's right, Little Chuan, hurry up and sit down."

Yang Mi also smiled and spoke to Jiang Chuan, telling him to sit next to Mu Qingcheng, where a seat had conveniently been left open.

"Serve the dishes."

Xu Jia watched Jiang Chuan sit down, clapped his hands, and shouted loudly to the waiter outside.

"Coming!"

The waiter responded, and people came in one after another, bringing a divided hot pot and many different dishes.

"Sister Mi, Reba... you must try this hot pot. This time, my old man upgraded the recipe, and the flavor is even better. Although it tastes a bit spicy, it's incredibly delicious."

"Especially the tripe and duck intestine—they are classics."

After the soup base and dishes were served, Xu Jia spoke to Yang Mi and Reba, constantly serving them food and acting extremely attentive.

Jiang Chuan and Mu Qingcheng were naturally ignored by Xu Jia.

The two didn't mind. Instead, they watched Xu Jia with knowing smiles. They saw that Xu Jia's gaze on Reba was practically dripping with desire. Having known each other for so long, they naturally knew why Xu Jia was being so attentive.

"This scoundrel wants to corrupt Reba, and I absolutely disagree. Reba is a very innocent girl and shouldn't get involved with this jerk."

"I agree one hundred percent."

... Mu Qingcheng and Jiang Chuan discussed this privately, having no intention of playing matchmaker for him and Reba.

If Xu Jia had heard these words, he definitely would have fought tooth and nail!

After the meal, Xu Jia received admiring glances from many people at the table.

Xu Jia knew hot pot too well. He taught them how to eat it, making the hot pot experience so delicious that they felt for the first time how wonderful eating hot pot could be.

Jiang Chuan and Mu Qingcheng merely curled their lips in dismissiveness.

"Sister Mi, Reba... everyone is very happy today. How about we go sing some karaoke?"

After everyone had eaten their fill, Xu Jia, being very tactful, first asked Yang Mi, then smiled as his gaze fell on Reba while he asked.

Yang Mi, who was capable of founding an entertainment company single-handedly, naturally understood Xu Jia's intentions. She looked at Xu Jia and Reba with a slight smile but did not try to break up the potential couple.

If Xu Jia's character was acceptable and Reba didn't object, she wouldn't oppose them getting together; she would only show support.

"Forget about singing. We don't like to sing."

Before Yang Mi and the others could speak, Mu Qingcheng looked at Xu Jia with a cold smile and said.

"Huh?"

When Xu Jia heard this, he frowned slightly, but immediately relaxed when he saw Mu Qingcheng. He constantly tried to signal Mu Qingcheng using special methods, but Mu Qingcheng remained unmoved.

Xu Jia had no choice but to appeal to Jiang Chuan, but Jiang Chuan simply turned his head away.

"Thank you for the kind offer, Young Master Xu, but we have work tomorrow, so we'll leave first."

Yang Mi smiled and left, taking the artists under her management with her.

"Old Jiang, Qingcheng, what are you two trying to do? You're ruining my happiness!"

As Yang Mi and the others walked away, Xu Jia glared fiercely at Jiang Chuan and Mu Qingcheng.
