The two dandies were well-dressed, their suits clearly from a well-known brand costing at least six figures. Although the suits fit perfectly, they couldn’t mask the indecent demeanor of the wearers. Even their gazes towards Tan Shuya in front of them were brazen, as if wanting to strip her clothes right off.
If possible, these two wastrels would indeed have stripped Tan Shuya’s clothes off.
The notoriety of these two wastrels in An City stemmed from their promiscuous and debauched lifestyle, known to many for playing with women.
They had once driven a common university student to her death, but due to their influential background, the incident only caused a brief sensation online and was quickly suppressed, with only a small sum of money given to the deceased student’s family.
One of the wastrels fixed his eyes on Tan Shuya, particularly lingering on her chest as he said, "Hey, whose young lady is this? Quite pretty, huh? Are you here alone? How about having fun with us brothers?"
The disturbance caught the attention of people around who turned to look. Upon recognizing the two dandies, some faces turned pale, especially the ladies of affluent families, who promptly moved away from the scene.
A few people recognized the two wastrels and couldn’t help but discuss, "Aren’t they the young masters from Zhou Group and Wu Group? What are they doing here?"
A nearby man also looked over and his face changed slightly upon seeing the two young masters. He quickly pulled his partner closer and said, "What else would they be here for but to attend the banquet? I’m telling you, you need to stay away from them. These two have a really bad reputation in the circle. If they set their sights on you, the consequences could be severe."
The man was a scion himself and was well aware of the past deeds of those two young masters from Zhou Group and Wu Group.
In An City, aside from the larger families like the Lu Family, Bo Family, Xi Family, and Ning Family, the Wu and Zhou families were next in line.
The young masters from these two families, because of their status, did whatever they pleased in An City. Besides the Lu, Xi, Bo, and Ning families, most other families couldn’t contend with them. Many ladies of lesser status had suffered at their hands, often with no resolution, leaving the girls to bear the losses.
The man’s girlfriend didn’t have as much inside knowledge as him, but she did know a bit. After pondering, she voiced her confusion, "Isn’t it said that these two young masters usually don’t attend banquets? I heard from colleagues that they rarely appear at such events and mostly hang around in bars..."
The man glanced at his girlfriend, gently brushing her hair behind her ear as he softly explained, "Today is Elder Master Lu’s sixtieth birthday. All guests attending are either wealthy or prestigious. Although Wu and Zhou families are also substantial, they’re nothing compared to a third of what Lu Family owns. And I heard that the parents of these two young masters always hoped they would become successful men like Lu Jingchen, so they must have come with their parents."
The people nearby, upon hearing the man’s words, were initially startled then laughed, "Become successful like Jingchen? How could that be possible?"
The man looked at the speaker, his gaze intensifying. He felt the man looked somewhat familiar but couldn’t recall who he was, steadying his emotions, he said outright, "Whether they can become that is others’ business. Anyway, if you have a partner here, it’s best to stay far away from those two young masters to avoid trouble."
After speaking, he quickly led his girlfriend away in the other direction to avoid unnecessary problems.
Tan Shuya naturally heard the discussions and knew that the two scions blocking her were not good news. Seeing that Lu Jingchen and Xi Mohan were getting further away, her expression darkened as she firmly said, "Please move aside."
She always minimized trouble wherever possible and wouldn’t cause a fuss.
Firstly, her demands for decorum were part of her representation of Dongheng Bank, secondly, she maintained a particular attitude depending on the situation and timing, and thirdly...she had always been instilled with the demeanor of a high-born lady since she was young.
The two scions looked at each other and laughed, one of them, with a ruffian air, said to Tan Shuya, "What’s the rush, sister? We noticed you were all alone and just came to chat with you."
The two dandies completely embodied the crude demeanor typical of ruffians.
Tan Shuya felt an intense revulsion, but still kept her cool, coldly saying, "Sorry, we’re not acquainted, please let me through." The most update n0vels are published on 𝓷𝓸𝓿𝓮𝓵※𝓯𝓲𝓻𝓮※𝓷𝓮𝓽
"A chat would get us acquainted."
Xi Mohan also sensed the disturbance behind him. Turning his head, he just saw the two dandies blocking Tan Shuya, seemingly about to make a move. After a thought, he turned to Lu Jingchen beside him and said, "Miss Tan seems to be in trouble, do you want to go handle it?"
Lu Jingchen stopped in his tracks, turned back to look, and right then saw one of the dandies touching Tan Shuya. His brow furrowed slightly, initially he didn’t want to interfere, but considering the circumstances, he decided to speak to Xi Mohan, "Wait here for me for a moment."
Xi Mohan nodded, uh-hummed in agreement.
The situation was evident on Tan Shuya’s face as extremely unpleasant. The two wastrels not only blocked her but also attempted to make a move on her physically. This ignited a sharp anger within her, and she was about to lash out when she noticed a tall figure approaching towards them. The man’s presence was like a spotlight naturally drawing everyone’s gaze including hers, making it difficult to look away.
The two dandies also felt the unusual presence behind them, promptly turned around, and saw Lu Jingchen had already approached them.
