Mistaking My Sister-In-Law for My Wife After Getting Drunk!-Chapter 564 - Night of Elegance

Chapter 564: Chapter 564 Night of Elegance

In the blink of an eye, the first of the month had arrived.

The Night of Splendor was to be held on Riyue Island in the evening.

Xu Yang and Zhao Yuxin had taken a plane to Haicheng.

Then they met with Wang Xiaocong and took a helicopter he had arranged to Riyue Island.

Most of the guests attending the Night of Splendor didn’t have this privilege and basically had to take a ferry over.

At this time, Riyue Island was brilliantly lit.

The huge central square on Riyue Island was the venue for tonight’s event.

The atmosphere here was now a gathering of stars and a collection of influential figures.

Over there, a few popular female celebrities were chatting with one another while their gazes roamed restlessly, trying to find a wealthy second-generation or scion of a noble family to hook up with.

Elsewhere, a group of wealthy heirs and noble scions were gathered together, discussing which woman to make a move on.

On another side, several tycoons from the business world huddled together discussing domestic and international economic situations.

Elsewhere, media reporters were live broadcasting the evening’s festivities, and some impressively connected internet celebrities had also snuck in to do their own live streams.

When Xu Yang and his group arrived, they were greeted with such a scene.

Their arrival by helicopter caught people’s attention.

Only the top-tier wealthy heirs, noble scions, and business magnates could arrive by helicopter.

This was a privilege for the few, and each helicopter landing drew the gaze of the crowd.

When the group alighted from the helicopter, it immediately caused a sensation!

“It’s Wang Xiaocong!”

“Wang Xiaocong has arrived!”

“I just knew that Wang Xiaocong wouldn’t miss this event!”

“If Wang Xiaocong didn’t show up, the Night of Splendor just wouldn’t be perfect!”

“Wang Xiaocong still does as he always does, bringing along his internet celebrity girlfriend!”

“This is quite tame, considering he usually brings several internet celebrities to other events. Today, he’s only brought one internet celebrity girlfriend!”

“With so many big shots here today, Wang Xiaocong probably felt it wasn’t appropriate to bring too many people!”

“Hey, who are those two behind him, the man and woman? Their looks are both so striking!”

“Don’t know them. They’re totally unfamiliar faces. Could they be new talents promoted by Wan Da Film and Television?!”

“New talents my foot, that’s the boss of Jiangdilao, Xu Yang, and his wife Zhao Yuxin!”

“What! It’s Jiangdilao’s boss Xu Yang and his wife Zhao Yuxin!”

“My God, they’ve come too!”

“I’ve heard that Jiangdilao’s boss Xu Yang and Wang Xiaocong are like brothers, and I was somewhat skeptical, but now it seems it’s true!”

“They say Xu Yang is a hidden big shot in the film industry. I wonder if it’s true?!”

…

As the murmurings spread, flashbulbs fiercely popped.

Wang Xiaocong kept greeting those he knew.

Xu Yang didn’t know many people, so he just followed Wang Xiaocong to a table and sat down.

At that moment, several female celebrities approached to greet them and struck up a familiar conversation with Zhao Yuxin.

Zhao Yuxin had many friends among the female celebrities; after chatting for a bit, she left with them.

Wang Xiaocong also suggested his internet celebrity girlfriend follow them.

“How do you feel about attending such a gala?” Wang Xiaocong picked up two glasses of champagne from the passing waiter’s tray and handed one to Xu Yang.

“It’s quite nice. I’m just here to have a look and broaden my horizons,” Xu Yang said with a smile.

At this moment, two people approached—it was Shen Wanpeng and his daughter.

“President Xu, you’re here too!” Shen Wanpeng greeted with a smile.

“I’ve never attended this type of gala before, so I thought I’d check it out. I heard there’s a charity auction later on, and I’ll see if there’s a chance to contribute a little to the cause,” Xu Yang said with a smile.

The charity auction was also mentioned by Wang Xiaocong on the helicopter just now.

Previously, Xu Yang had no idea about it, thinking that the gala was just about eating, drinking, and enjoying some entertainment.

It seemed that now, when the rich threw a party, they often liked to add a charitable twist to it.

“Xu Yang, did Yu Xin come with you?” Shen Yuyan asked.

“She did. She’s over there, playing with some female celebrities,” Xu Yang pointed to a spot not far away.

“I’ll go over and join her,” Shen Yuyan said. “Dad, you guys talk.”

With that, she quickly walked away.

Wang Xiaocong glanced at Shen Wanpeng: “President Shen, I heard that your daughter is getting married to the Li Family’s eldest son, Li Guangming?”

The news had already spread among the big families in the capital; he had caught wind of it.

A smile appeared on Shen Wanpeng’s face: “Yes, I originally didn’t want to interfere with Yu Yan’s marriage and wanted her to have the freedom to love, but she hasn’t found a boyfriend after so long. Li Guangming is the heir of the Li Family, and I am friends with Li Guangming’s father. Recently, when both families discussed the matter of our children’s marriage, this topic came up. I think Li Guangming is not bad, so I agreed.”

Xu Yang raised an eyebrow in surprise.

He hadn’t expected Shen Wanpeng to want to marry his daughter to Li Guangming.

He thought about the video he had seen—if Shen Yuyan knew about it, who knew what she would think.

“President Shen, normally I wouldn’t say anything about this kind of matter, but I still want to say something. Li Guangming is planning to go against Xu Yang and is even trying to take over Xu Yang’s Riverbottom Catch,” Wang Xiaocong said.

“What!” Shen Wanpeng was visibly shocked. “How could this be? Why would he want to target Xu Yang?”

He really didn’t know about this.

“Recently, the president of Starlight Media, Li Guangliang, was arrested for suspected money laundering. You know about that, right?” Wang Xiaocong asked.

Shen Wanpeng nodded: “I am aware of it, but that’s all I know. I wouldn’t delve into such matters. Does this have something to do with Xu Yang?”

“Indeed, Li Guangliang wanted to stand up for someone else and was also eyeing Xu Yang’s Riverbottom Catch. Xu Yang acted in self-defense and sent him in,” Wang Xiaocong explained.

Shen Wanpeng, being a smart man, quickly connected the dots: “Are you saying that Li Guangming wants to stand up for Li Guangliang and go against President Xu?”

“Yes, no matter what, they are both from the Li Family, and Li Guangming is the Li Family heir. I suspect he just came back from overseas and wants to use this opportunity to establish his authority,” Wang Xiaocong speculated.

Shen Wanpeng frowned and looked at Xu Yang: “President Xu, what are you planning to do about this?”

If that was the case, then he needed to reconsider the matter of his daughter marrying Li Guangming.

Because those who were enemies of Xu Yang never had a good outcome.

Looking at the path that Xu Yang had walked, it was apparent that no matter how strong his opponents were, it always ended with Xu Yang being victorious.

Xu Yang smiled faintly: “Since he wants to snatch my belongings, he naturally has to pay a price!”

Shen Wanpeng fell silent.

It was time to choose sides.

Li Guangming was the heir of the prominent Li Family in the capital.

Xu Yang was a rising star in the business world, poised to become the stable richest man in China and perhaps even the richest man in the world.

Frankly, based on Xu Yang’s performance, there seemed to be no limit to his heights.

The key point was, Shen Wanpeng didn’t believe Li Guangming could outfight Xu Yang.

Xu Yang smiled faintly: “President Shen, forgive my frankness, but Li Guangming is not a good match for your daughter. Since your daughter is a good friend of my wife, I’m telling you this out of consideration for you. Think it over for yourself.”

He said this because of that video he had seen—if not for that, he really wouldn’t bother with these issues. After all, whom Shen Yuyan married and how her life turned out had nothing to do with him.

Upon hearing this, Shen Wanpeng’s heart stirred: “President Xu, do you know something?”

Xu Yang was not one to speak without basis. Since he said Li Guangming was not a good match for his daughter, he must know something disgraceful about Li Guangming.
