48: Fu family birthday banquet, a storm

...

After Shen Mo finished washing up, he went downstairs with Shen Family Head.

Downstairs, Madam Shen, dressed as a socialite, saw Shen Mo come down and her eyes lit up, followed by a wide smile.

"Handsome!"

She gave Shen Mo a thumbs up and said, "My son is so handsome!"

"So talented and dashing!"

"When he goes out, he'll definitely overshadow them!"

Shen Mo's lips twitched. Mom, that's not how you use that word!

Besides, he's a man; what would he overshadow?

"Of course!"

Shen Family Head said proudly, "Don't you see whose son he is?"

Alright! You're quite proud of me, your useless son!

Shen Mo's lips curved slightly, unable to suppress the smile in his eyes.

"Let's go, Mom!"

As he said this, he walked up to Madam Shen, hooked his arm around her waist, and motioned to her. She immediately pursed her lips and smiled, linking her arm through his.

"Wait, you two, have you forgotten about me?"

"I'm the head of the family!"

"Brat! Your mom is mine!"

Shen Family Head laughed and scolded, chasing after them.

...

The group arrived at Fu Changdong's villa.

The Fu Family's villa was on a half-mountain peak. It was said to be an ancestral property left to the Fu Family by their ancestors before the spiritual energy revival, worth a fortune.

Shen Mo and Shen Family Head got out of the car.

The Shen Family's presence was very grand.

Outside the Fu Family's main entrance, many people were already standing, all newly arrived guests there to celebrate the birthday.

Seeing the Shen Family's motorcade, someone couldn't help but say, "Which aristocratic family does this young master belong to?"

His gaze fell on Shen Mo.

And opposite the speaker, someone said mockingly, "What aristocratic young master? He's just a lucky gigolo!"

He felt disdain in his heart, but his face was filled with jealousy.

In the entire Lin Hai City, who didn't envy the Shen Family for having climbed the high branch of the Feng Family? It was said that Feng Linghuang had supreme talent and first-rate strength. Alone in the Imperial Capital, she surpassed contemporary geniuses, and in the Heavenly Dao Comprehension Tower, no one could compare!

Most importantly, Feng Linghuang was a super beauty!

What is a super beauty?

It means that in the entire Blue Star, few people can be compared to her!

Ordinary beauties aren't even worthy of carrying her shoes!

As these words came out, the faces of the people nearby showed knowing smiles. Everyone hated Shen Mo, and everyone wanted to be Shen Mo.

While the people around were envious, jealous, and hateful, the Lu Family members on the other side felt extremely embarrassed.

The words of those discussing kept drilling into their ears.

And the Lu Family, as the supporting characters, the clowns, were constantly mentioned, making them wish they could lower their heads into the dust, burying themselves in the mud.

The group was utterly humiliated.

Meanwhile, Lu Family Master was pinching Lu Yufei's hand so hard it hurt.

"When you find an opportunity later, immediately go and apologize to Shen Mo!"

"I don't care what method you use, but!"

"You must obtain Shen Mo's forgiveness!"

"Otherwise, don't come back to our Lu Family anymore!"

"Our Lu Family cannot afford to keep a great Buddha like you!"

Lu Family Master's expression was ruthless.

These days, the Lu Family's life had been very difficult.

The Shen Family's overt suppression and the Fu Family's covert suppression, and most importantly... all their opportunities for external development had been cut off!

With the Feng Family speaking, no one dared to give the Lu Family face. In other cities, their development was completely halted, business was blocked, and various forces' development was also interrupted one by one.

Lu Family Master was almost boiling with anxiety.

Everyone knew that once business development was cut off, it was equivalent to strangling their throats.

Now, in the rapid development stage of spiritual energy revival, who didn't want to gain a foothold in this golden age of competition?

However, now, the Lu Family's future development was completely blocked!

If it weren't for the fact that he couldn't bring himself to lose face, he would have led Lu Yufei to kneel at the Shen Family's door, waiting for Shen Mo's forgiveness.

In fact, he had gone, but before he could even get close to the Shen Family, he had already been forced back by Min Hang and others.

No one wanted to see Shen Mo's former "ex-girlfriend" still having any entanglement with him.

And Shen Family Head, needless to say, would even walk around the Lu Family members if he saw them on the road!

He was afraid that the Lu Family members would make a fuss and entangle themselves, leading Feng Linghuang to misunderstand.

Now, Fu Changdong's banquet was their only chance.

In fact, the invitations had already been sent out long ago!

Otherwise, the Lu Family members wouldn't even be able to enter the birthday banquet's gate. How could Fu Changdong let them come to make trouble for the Shen Family?

But now that the Lu Family members had come, Fu Changdong couldn't just drive them away in front of so many people.

After all, high society has its rules, and a certain amount of face must be given to each other.

If it were in private, Fu Changdong would have already told the Lu Family members to get lost!

Previously, Lu Yufei had tried to see Fu Xueyan three times but was driven away by Fu Changdong, who also declared—

If the Lu Family dared to harass Fu Xueyan again, he would break the Lu Family members' legs and make them get out of Lin Hai City!

Once these words were uttered, the Lu Family members dared not act rashly, and Lu Yufei could only give up, not daring to harass Fu Xueyan again.

Now, having finally entered Fu Changdong's banquet, she heard Lu Family Master's words and her eyes were filled with grievance.

In the past, Lu Family Master had not treated her this way.

He often told her that a useless piece of trash like Shen Mo was not worthy of a favored daughter of heaven like her, and that if she had the chance, she should be paired with a big shot from the Imperial Capital.

Although Lu Yufei was devoted to Luo Fan and did not listen to Lu Family Master's words about wanting to be paired with some big shot, she had taken Lu Family Master's words to heart.

Therefore, she had always looked down on Shen Mo and felt that he was simply foolish with money, incredibly stupid, and only fit to be her stepping stone.

Anyway, once she became successful and had the opportunity, she would take care of the Shen Family and give them a chance.

This way, they would be even!

Who would have thought that Shen Mo could actually get together with Feng Linghuang!

What on earth did the other party see in Shen Mo?

He was just a piece of trash she looked down on!

Lu Yufei thought this, biting her lip hard, her teeth sinking into her flesh.

Only by thinking this way could she somewhat alleviate the unwillingness and resentment in her heart.

After all, in the past, how obedient Shen Mo had been to her!

But now... she had to bow her head to him!

If...

If... Shen Mo could still be as obedient to her as before, wouldn't all those resources of the Shen Family be hers now?

Including all the resources and treasures Feng Linghuang gave to the Shen Family!

Lu Yufei's eyes burned with desire just looking at them.

Most importantly, what would Feng Linghuang, such a top-tier beauty, feel if she lost to herself and personally watched Shen Mo being completely obedient to her, like a dog?

Being able to win against a favored daughter of heaven like Feng Linghuang, Lu Yufei would probably wake up laughing from her dreams for the rest of her life!

As Lu Yufei thought this, the grip of her hands was so tight it hurt, and she could barely feel the strength of Lu Family Master pinching her.

"I understand, Grandfather. I will apologize to Shen Mo properly."

Lu Yufei said, her voice filled with humiliation.

A voice flashed through her mind.

"Tonight, bring Shen Mo to the room on the top floor, by yourself, don't let anyone know."

"We will solve all of this for you!"
