The next day.
Zhong Yingxue spent the entire day bustling about, preparing for Old Master Zhong’s birthday banquet.
Meanwhile, Xia Yao’s family background was extremely powerful, with intricate ties to the Zhong family!
Naturally, she needed to attend as well.
Jiangnan, on the other hand, spent the day tidying up his room!
He arranged it to his liking…
Finally, in the afternoon, he had some free time.
He planned to properly absorb a surge of spiritual pearls and level up a bit.
But then the door to his room was suddenly opened!
There stood Zhong Yingxue in a white evening gown, her black hair elegantly pinned up high!
She resembled a noble white swan.
Her beauty was breathtaking…
Jiangnan stared blankly for a long time before grinning, “Xuexue, you look absolutely stunning!”
Zhong Yingxue let out a chuckle, “Only you would say that! Hurry up and get ready? The banquet is about to start!”
Xia Yao darted out from the side.
For once, she was dressed seriously, her black gown extremely bold with a large expanse of her snow-white back exposed.
Paired with her head of silver short hair, it was utterly captivating.
Xia Yao, “You’ll drive later, alright? This outfit isn’t convenient for me…”
Jiangnan, “OK!”
“Let’s go!”
With that, he got out of bed, slipped on his slippers, and headed for the door.
Xia Yao and Zhong Yingxue were both stunned.
“Wait, you’re going like that?”
Jiangnan was in baggy shorts and flip-flops!
Plus a white T-shirt with a Q-version “囧” printed on it!
“What’s wrong? Any issues?”
Zhong Yingxue gave a wry smile, “Issues galore!”
In that getup, he probably wouldn’t even get past the hotel door!
Xia Yao said, “I think I have a suit from when I bought a car, I’ll fetch it for you!”
“Try it on and see if it fits…”
Ten minutes later.
Jiangnan stood before them in a black suit.
With his roguish aura!
Coupled with his impressive height.
And that face that could touch the ceiling in handsomeness.
He was explosively dashing!
He even sported a flamboyant bow tie!
A white handkerchief tucked into his breast pocket.
Zhong Yingxue and Xia Yao both nodded in satisfaction.
“The lad cleans up nicely!”
“Looking sharp, let’s head out!”
Jiangnan, however, felt utterly uncomfortable all over.
No matter how he wore it, it felt awkward. How could it compare to the comfort of his baggy shorts and short sleeves?
This time, Xia Yao didn’t take the Mercedes G-Class!
Instead, she tossed Jiangnan the keys to a Rolls-Royce Phantom.
As soon as Jiangnan touched the steering wheel in the car.
[Skill triggered! Driving (Beginner): LV0!]
[Skill points added: 100!]
[Skill upgraded! Driving (Proficient): LV0!]
With the roar of the engine, the flying little golden one weaved through the bustling streets.
Xia Yao stared in astonishment, “Xiaonan! You actually know how to drive? Didn’t you say you don’t have a licence?”
She had originally planned to make things difficult for him!
To get sweet revenge for turning her bald!
She never expected him to actually know how to drive?
Zhong Yingxue looked equally curious, “When did you learn?”
Jiangnan, “There’s nothing this young master can’t do! Just learned it!”
Xia Yao pouted, “Hmph, big talk!”
Zhong Yingxue giggled slyly, “At this rate, you really look like a chauffeur!”
“With a driver this handsome, you should count your blessings!”
They arrived at Jiangcheng Century Hotel!
As soon as Zhong Yingxue and Xia Yao stepped out of the car.
They drew everyone’s gaze!
“Look! Look! Those two are way too gorgeous!”
“My eyes can’t bear to look away for a second!”
“The Zhong family miss! The Xia family heiress, tsk tsk tsk! Beauty without peers!”
“Holy crap? Even the driver’s this handsome?”
Xia Yao and Zhong Yingxue, not wanting to be gawked at by the crowd, headed inside first.
Jiangnan had just parked the car.
As he got out and took a couple of steps, a man with curly hair, dressed in a white suit and wearing gold-rimmed glasses, approached with an effeminate air.
He glanced at Jiangnan, and Jiangnan glanced back…
The air froze for a full ten seconds!
Then the effeminate man handed over his car keys.
With a gentle press, the nearby Porsche 911’s lights flashed.
“Here!”
Jiangnan’s eyes widened!
???
Damn!
The world of the rich is truly baffling!
Gifting a sports car right off the bat?
Just because he caught your eye in the crowd?
Luxury! Utterly extravagant!
Even if I’m a bit more handsome and you’ve fallen for my looks!
No need to go this far, right?
Jiangnan said shyly, “This… this isn’t right…”
He was giving it sincerely!
Jiangnan couldn’t very well accept it!
Effeminate man, “What’s with all the fuss?”
With that, he shoved the keys into Jiangnan’s hand!
Jiangnan: ???
Is this the joy of the wealthy?
666!
Keys in hand!
Why not take it?
So he pocketed them…
As he walked, he marvelled.
Just strolling along and someone gifts him a car?
Awesome!
Not two steps later.
A noblewoman-like figure spotted Jiangnan and, without a word, tossed her car keys at him.
Jiangnan: ???
A press of the key, Lamborghini Aventador?
What the hell is going on?
Is your money just blowing in the wind?
Gifting cars to anyone who looks handsome?
Another couple of steps, and a pot-bellied man tossed him a set of keys.
BMW X7?
Big bro, this won’t do!
Others are gifting supercars!
And you with a crappy BMW!
Gotta say, it’s a bit of a downgrade!
Still, it’s the thought that counts, so Jiangnan accepted it without qualms.
By the time Jiangnan exited the car park, he had seventeen sets of car keys in his pockets!
Full of感慨!
Living off looks is the life!
When he had time, attend a few more banquets, then open a used car dealership.
Pure bliss!
Just as Jiangnan was about to enter the hotel, his eyes flicked sideways.
He suddenly spotted a waiter dressed almost identically to his evening suit!
Same bow tie! White handkerchief in the pocket!
He was smiling as he greeted guests, taking their car keys.
Then off to the car park to park!
Before long, the waiter returned, utterly baffled, “What’s the deal? The car park’s jammed solid!”
“Over a dozen cars blocking the entrance, who’s in charge of that area?”
…
Jiangnan glanced at the seventeen sets of keys in his hand!
His face darkened completely!
Damn it, they all mistook me for the dedicated valet?
Hell!
Are you all blind?
Ever seen a waiter this handsome?
Are those big eyeballs on your faces just for breathing?
Jiangnan had thought these folks had some weird fetish.
Gifting cars at first sight!
Xia Yao!
You sneaky one!
What kind of crappy outfit did you give me!
It’s identical, isn’t it?
Jiangnan yanked off the bow tie and the white handkerchief from his pocket, tossing them into the bin!
He then found the lost and found at the security booth and dumped all seventeen sets of keys on the table…
The security guard was dumbfounded. Holy crap? What’s going on?
Jiangnan, fuming, “Others lost them, I picked them up…”
Security guard, “Seventeen at once?”
“You’re not one of those roadside key duplicators, are you?”
Jiangnan glared. First a waiter?
Now a key forger?
Endless?
“They lost them as a group, got a problem?”
[Resentment value from the security guard +666!]
