Prince charming, your persona has collapsed!

When she looked up, she blinked and asked Zhou Yuwen, "What are you staring at?"

Zhou Yuwen replied, "Nothing."

At ten o'clock, Su Qing came to find Zhou Yuwen right on time to hang out.

The three of them had nothing to do and ended up playing a few rounds of poker in Lu Wanting's room.

Su Qing leaned against Zhou Yuwen's chest while playing.

Lu Wanting, on the other hand, sat cross-legged with her long legs stretched out.

Because of the air conditioning at home, Lu Wanting was only wearing a nightdress.

Actually, Zhou Yuwen had noticed that Lu Wanting was just wearing a single nightdress.

Sometimes, her figure showed through it. Women from outside were really bold. Girls like her dressed in a way that didn't initially seem alluring, but when you caught the details, it was striking.

She hugged a pillow idly, furrowing her brows as she pondered her next move, her jade-like legs wrapped in white over-the-knee socks.

Blinking her eyes and furrowing her brows in thought, she murmured, "Hmm... How do I beat you guys?"

Honestly, at that moment, Zhou Yuwen did feel a certain way about Lu Wanting. Maybe it was because he hadn't touched a woman for some time. In the end, all he could do was caress the Su Qing in his arms to quench his thirst.

Sigh, Zhou Yuwen was clearly downgrading his standards.

Around noon, when it was about time, Zhou Yuwen decided to take Su Qing to a class reunion.

When Lu Wanting heard they were going out, she wanted to tag along as well.

Zhou Yuwen naturally refused, saying that bringing a girlfriend to the reunion was already an exception—how could he possibly bring his "sister-in-law" too?

"Ugh, Zhou Yuwen, you're so annoying!" Lu Wanting pouted and said.

Zhou Yuwen just smiled at her.

Ultimately, he didn't have any intention of taking her along. He drove his luxury car worth millions and took Su Qing to the agreed-upon restaurant.

"Moon-filled Tower" was a well-known and longstanding restaurant in Zhou Yuwen's hometown. The dishes were expensive, but the atmosphere was good. Generally, people working in government agencies liked to host dinners there.

The fact that Luo Jialiang could arrange the class reunion here showed that he was doing quite well.

No, it probably meant that his parents were doing well.

Liu Shuo and the others scheduled the gathering for around 4 p.m., so the "Moon-filled Tower" wasn't very crowded now. However, in the small bar beside it, there were a few people drinking and chatting.

Among them was the fat guy Zhou Yuwen had beaten up last night.

When seen today, his face had swollen up completely, even to the point where his eyes were squeezed shut.

This guy's name was Jin Kai, a notorious delinquent in the vocational school. He had gotten to know a big shot named Sun Bo while playing video games at an internet cafe.

Sun Bo had dropped out of school early on and was now involved in the underworld. He usually had one or two lackeys by his side.

In Sun Kai's eyes, Sun Bo was practically his "Boss."

Today's gathering was organized by Sun Bo, who claimed he was going to introduce Jin Kai to some big players—his old brothers from back in the day!

As soon as they met, however, Jin Kai's entire swollen face caught Sun Bo's curiosity. "Hey, Jin Kai! What happened to you?"

"Don't bring it up, Brother Bo. I ran into some dumbass, damn it!" Jin Kai cursed.

Jin Kai wasn't planning on bothering Boss with this matter. After all, it was his own problem, and he intended to resolve it himself. He was already set on gathering people in the afternoon to block Liu Yilin at the school gates. Even if he had to chase Zhou Yuwen back home, he'd make sure to cripple him.

But since Sun Bo had asked, Jin Kai sighed and explained the whole situation.

Sun Bo thumped the table. "The hell! Someone hit my brother? Why didn't you tell me last night?"

"Ugh, how was I supposed to know he was this tough?"

"Alright, Kai! I'm handling this. Let's take care of it together later!" Sun Bo said.

Jin Kai felt deeply moved. He said, "Brother Bo, you're like my real brother! I knew sticking with you was the right choice!"

"What are you saying? Don't be ridiculous! Let me tell you, the people I invited today are no joke. During dinner, keep low-key, alright? If luck's on our side, we might even join that mysterious organization—they're seriously powerful!"

"Huh? What organization?" Jin Kai froze.

Sun Bo leaned closer to Jin Kai's ear and whispered mysteriously, "Has Xu Huai Association ever crossed your ears?"

"What's that?" Jin Kai blinked. He had genuinely never heard of it before.

"Country bumpkin!"

Sun Bo chuckled to himself, saying, "That's the biggest gang in Su Province! Tens of thousands of members!"

"Holy crap!" Jin Kai was instantly fired up.

Sun Bo continued, "Xu Huai Association is gathering at Moon-filled Tower this afternoon. I heard that two of their leaders will be there. My brothers are from Xu Huai Association! When the time comes, we'll sneak in and get a glimpse!"

"Awesome!" Jin Kai replied excitedly, "Bro, you're too good to me!"

"Of course! We're brothers—we share blessings and face difficulties together!"

They were chatting when two men entered.

The first guy was slim, with lifeless eyes and an emotionless face.

He seemed unsure if this was the right room, looking somewhat confused.

But as soon as Sun Bo saw him, his eyes lit up: "Brother Stone!"

Xie Lei glanced up at Sun Bo without showing any emotion.

Sun Bo, on the other hand, was overly enthusiastic, hurriedly ushering Xie Lei to the table: "Brother Stone, it's been so long since we've met! Today we have to drink together properly!"

Xie Lei responded, "Forget the drinks. We have the Xu Huai Association's gathering later, who knows how much I'll have to drink then. I'll just have a beverage this time."

"Alright, alright, Kai! Go get some drinks!" Sun Bo ordered.

"Oh, okay!"

Jin Kai quickly got up and went downstairs.

It was his first time seeing his boss act so deferentially. He figured the person must be some bigshot.

When Jin Kai returned upstairs with the drinks,

he heard Xie Lei lecturing Sun Bo, saying, "How old are you now?! Still messing around on the streets? Xu Huai Association is a proper organization."

Xu Huai Association's mission is to help brothers working outside—it's not as dark as you think.

We stand for justice!

Do you think Xu Huai Association is easy to join?

At the very least, you'll need a technical college diploma. Do you even have one?

Jin Kai, standing behind, was dumbfounded. Since when did mixing with society require a diploma?

Sun Bo nodded repeatedly, saying, "Bro, you're absolutely right. Back then, I was just a kid and didn't understand. If I had known earlier, I would've gone to a technical college in Jinling with you. Man, now I can't even find a proper job outside—I just mess around. I worked outside for a bit, but those factories are ruthless! Not only did I not save money, they docked my pay!"

"Hmph." Xie Lei let out a cold snort and asked, "How much did you make at those factories?"

"Three thousand five hundred!"

"With Xu Huai Association, even a winter break job pays six thousand!"

"That high?!" Sun Bo was visibly shocked.

Xie Lei said, "That's just the minimum. Xu Huai Association helps every member secure jobs, and there are subsidies for advanced positions—they can earn seven to eight thousand!"

"All the factories out there now are basically run by our Xu Huai Association members!"

Both Jin Kai and Sun Bo were stunned by Xu Huai Association's vast influence.

Sun Bo's attitude toward Xie Lei became even more respectful, and he quickly asked Jin Kai to pour another drink.

Jin Kai was noticeably more cautious toward Xie Lei.

A job paying 8,000 a month?

If he could manage to earn such a salary, even his parents might start looking at him differently.

As he contemplated this, Jin Kai made up his mind—he absolutely had to join Xu Huai Association!
