My Mother-in-Law Gifted Me a Building

”Mr. Zhao, Hu Long happened to be here that day. He got into a verbal spat with this Chu Feng, and Chu Feng said right then that Hu Long would be dead within three days!” Sixth Master said respectfully.

”Could it be the Qing Gang? If I remember correctly, Hu Long had ties to them, didn’t he?” Mr. Zhao said lightly.

”I’m not too familiar with those details. That’s the whole story as I know it,” Sixth Master said.

”Old Liu, some people from the family will be coming by soon. You are to entertain them well,” Mr. Zhao said.

”Is it the young masters?” Sixth Master asked excitedly.

”Yes. I’ll go investigate the Hu Long situation now. I’m leaving them in your care,” Mr. Zhao said.

With that, Mr. Zhao departed.

Sixth Master immediately called Su Linsheng. ”Brother Su, have you heard? That guy Hu Long is dead!”

On the other end of the line, Su Linsheng was shocked. ”What? Hu Long’s dead? Are you serious?”

”The news is absolutely reliable. Brother Su, why don’t you come over for a cup of tea?” Sixth Master laughed heartily.

”Since you’ve honored me with the invitation, Sixth Master, of course I’ll be there. I’m on my way now,” Su Linsheng said happily.

At the Su Group, Chu Feng was sitting in Su Miaoke’s office, mainly because he was worried about her safety.

Suddenly, Su Miaoke spoke up. ”Honey, my best friend just invited me to a party tonight. Why don’t you come with me?”

Chu Feng agreed without a second thought. ”Sure. I wouldn’t be comfortable with you going alone. Besides, I’ve always wanted to see what the nightlife of the rich is like.”

”Okay, then after work, I’ll take you shopping for clothes,” Su Miaoke said.

”More clothes? Didn’t we just buy a ton? We should save some money,” Chu Feng said, surprised. ’This woman really spends money like water.’

”Hmph, what’s wrong with spending money on my husband? Besides, a new suit won’t cost that much,” Su Miaoke said.

Soon, it was the end of the workday, and the two headed straight for the mall.

Su Miaoke picked out a formal suit for Chu Feng to wear to the party.

When Chu Feng tried on the suit, Su Miaoke was left staring in awe.

”So handsome,” Su Miaoke swooned. A suit made Chu Feng look exceptionally sharp.

Especially since Chu Feng was the type to look slim in clothes but muscular underneath.

Seeing Su Miaoke’s stunned expression, Chu Feng felt she was exaggerating a bit. ”You’re laying it on a little thick, don’t you think?”

”The quality of the clothes here is pretty good. Let’s get you a few more outfits,” Su Miaoke said, ready for another shopping spree.

”No more. I already have more clothes than I can wear from you. They’ll just collect dust if we buy more. We should get going to the party, it’s getting late,” Chu Feng said.

”Alright, let’s go then.” Su Miaoke linked her arm with Chu Feng’s and they walked out of the mall.

This so-called party was nothing more than a gathering of Beihai City’s young and rich—some up-and-coming talents, others just second-generation heirs.

After all, that’s how business people were; they needed to build a wide network of connections.

”Just stick with me at the party. I heard people from other cities will be there too,” Su Miaoke said.

”Why? Are you trying to expand your business circle? Have you forgotten what happened with Hu Long?” Chu Feng asked with a frown.

”Oh, come on, it’s just a small get-together. Besides, our company is considered small in Beihai. I’m only going because my best friend invited me,” Su Miaoke explained.

”My best friend was my classmate when we studied abroad. Her family is also quite wealthy. In fact, her family’s company is much stronger than our Su Group,” Su Miaoke explained to Chu Feng as she drove.

Soon, the car pulled up and stopped in front of a villa in a wealthy residential area.

”That’s her house up ahead. Any one of these villas here is worth hundreds of millions,” Su Miaoke said.

After they got out of the car, Chu Feng glanced at the surrounding vehicles.

There were quite a few luxury cars worth no less than twenty million, with the cheapest ones being around fifteen or sixteen million. By comparison, Su Miaoke’s car didn’t seem so prominent.

”This world really is full of rich people,” Chu Feng sighed.

”In that case, who’s richer? Your best friend or Sixth Master?” Chu Feng asked curiously.

”My best friend, for sure. Although Sixth Master is very powerful, his business empire isn’t as big as my friend’s family’s. When it comes to pure money-making ability, my friend’s family definitely comes out on top,” Su Miaoke said.

”So, it sounds like Sixth Master isn’t some kind of major villain,” Chu Feng said.

”He isn’t. Otherwise, my father wouldn’t have gone to him for help. He’s a fair and just person who believes that harmony brings wealth. He’s always at the top of Beihai City’s list of donors. He must have donated at least several billion by now,” Su Miaoke said.

Entering the villa, Su Miaoke called out directly to a beautiful woman in a long, lavender slip dress: ”Junke.”

”Miaoke, you’re finally here! Come, have a seat. Is this the husband you’ve been telling me about lately? You really don’t care about your best friend anymore, do you? When did you find such a handsome man without telling me? Keeping him all to yourself, that’s not very nice!” Su Miaoke’s best friend said, striding over to her side in high heels.

”We haven’t had the wedding yet, have we? It’s not too late to invite you then,” Su Miaoke said.

”You didn’t... you know... have to get married, did you?” Su Miaoke’s best friend whispered, pulling her aside.

”Junke, stop talking nonsense,” Su Miaoke said, getting a little flustered.

”Honey, this is the best friend I told you about. Her name is Lin Junke,” Su Miaoke introduced her to Chu Feng.

”Hello, my name is Chu Feng. I’m Miaoke’s husband.” Chu Feng, ever the gentleman, extended his right hand and shook Lin Junke’s.

At that moment, Chu Feng couldn’t help but sigh inwardly.

’As expected, beautiful women are always friends with other beautiful women.’

Su Miaoke’s best friend, Lin Junke, was also very beautiful, though she leaned more towards a gentle and cute type, and she seemed more vivacious.

Su Miaoke, on the other hand, had a more mature charm, like a cold and aloof female CEO.

”Handsome Chu, would you mind if your wife and I go have a little private chat?” Lin Junke asked Chu Feng with a smile.

”Go ahead,” Chu Feng nodded. In truth, he felt very awkward.

It was his first time at this kind of party, so he felt a bit out of his element.

Chu Feng then found a spot, picked up some pastries from a nearby table, and started eating.

”Mm, not bad,” Chu Feng nodded with satisfaction. ’Rich people really know how to live. Not only is there a huge variety of pastries, but they also taste great.’

But just as he was enjoying himself, a voice suddenly sounded from behind him.

”Chu Feng?” The voice was filled with astonishment, as if surprised to see Chu Feng in a place like this.
