Chapter 17 The Really Rich and Powerful

"I don't care... We've already gotten a room at Divine Beauty and ordered our drinks. All you have to do is turn up to foot the bill."

The voice hung up before Jiang Liu had a chance to reject him.

Jiang Liu glanced at Hua Sheng. She was still expressionless.

There was no hint of her feeling remorseful at all.

Jiang Liu thought about it before giving an explanation to his wife. "Divine Beauty is a place used by businessmen to entertain their guests and for men to have a drink with their close friends. I'm just going to spend some time there. I'll ask the driver to send you home if you don't want to go."

"All right." The reply came very quickly.

Jiang Liu felt he owed Hua Sheng a more detailed explanation after sensing that she had replied rather too quickly.

"There's no hanky-panky allowed there, please don't be mistaken."

"You're the one who's mistaken. To be honest, I don't care where you go. What you do has nothing to do with me at all."

Hua Sheng was making it extremely clear that they were together because of the deal between them. She would not be so foolish to lose herself in "role-playing". Nor was she going to bother herself with his affairs.

Young Master Jiang was feeling extremely displeased. He had given Hua Sheng an explanation so that she would not have any misgivings, but ended up being rebutted.

He managed to stop himself from blowing things up, however. Very quickly, the car arrived back at the Villa of Abundant Youth.

Everything was set up according to Hua Sheng's taste. In fact, she used to stay in the villa whenever she felt bored on Mount Zhongcui in the past.

She had somewhat gotten used to living here. It was quiet and peaceful, much like the annex on Mount Zhongcui.

Hua Sheng got out of the car with her attendants, Peach and Gingko.

After dropping them off, the driver continued with Jiang Liu to Divine Beauty.

Along the way, the driver could not help criticizing Hua Sheng's behavior from earlier on. "Young Master, I have something to tell you. Please don't be mistaken that I'm speaking ill of the Young Mistress, however."

"Tell me about it."

Jiang Liu looked at the driver from the backseat, raising the corners of his lips a little.

"It seems as though the Young Mistress comes from a different era, from the Republican era... like in that show 'The Bund', have you seen that? It feels as though she's in the same class as Feng Chengcheng. She likes to wear retro cheongsams and her speech is so genteel. What's even funnier is that she travels everywhere with two female attendants."

Jiang Liu began laughing uncontrollably after hearing his driver.

He was completely right. His wife seemed to have come from a different era.

"That's right. My wife should have traveled to the future from the Republican era," he added.

After about 30 minutes, the car stopped at the entrance of Divine Beauty.

They were in the busiest section of the city center. Divine Beauty was nine stories high, symbolizing perfection.

Its entire interior and exterior were done extravagantly in European style. It was a splendid and dazzling sight to behold. Rumor had it that anything that looked yellow was gold-plated.

None of the cars parked outside the club cost less than five million dollars.

Even drivers of Porsches that cost around one million dollars would be ashamed to park alongside these supercars.

The world of the truly rich was so extravagant that it would be terrifying for normal folk to behold.

The driver addressed Jiang Liu with much caution after parking. "I'll wait for you in the car here, Young Master Jiang. Give me a call when you're done."

"It's all right. It's late, and you should head home. I'll just get one of them to give me a ride back home later."

Jiang Liu was never willing to trouble anyone for his own sake, and the driver had been under his employ for years now.

He walked into the club after making sure that his driver had received his instructions.

"Young Master Jiang."

"Good evening, Young Master Jiang."

"How are you doing, Young Master Jiang?"

Everyone seemed to know Jiang Liu as he walked into Divine Beauty.

He went all the way up to the Supreme Room located at the very top of the building.

The moment he opened the door, he was sprayed with champagne...

Gao He was spraying Jiang Liu with a bottle of Armand de Brignac in his hands.

"Happy marriage to our eternal bachelor!" Gao He said, roaring with laughter as he held the bottle of champagne steady.

Jiang Liu was not angry. Instead, he wiped his stained arm with the napkin provided by the waiter.

"Oh? You came here by yourself? Where's your wife?" the man asked. He was a pretty nosy character.

It was only now that Jiang Liu had the chance to survey his surroundings. He was surprised to see that there were dozens of guests in the room.

There was Qin Wanyu and Wang Junxian, who were his close buddies, as well as a few rich debutantes and well-to-do men who came from rich families.
