The time of the city

Chapter 114 Birthday Party 2

The Golden Palace is part of the Qiao Group, a gathering place for the upper class. It's like a seamless boundary, clearly separating those outside the inner circle. Those who enter and leave here possess an innate sense of nobility.

People from the upper class often come and go here. It is not only a symbol of status, but also a place that can directly make others feel respectable.

This place is often used to host some seemingly grand ceremonies, such as Qiao Feng’s birthday party.

This birthday party is also a hunting ground. The rich cling to the powerful, and the powerful collude with the rich. The poor can rise to prominence through their beauty. Here, money, power, capital, and beauty can all find their perfect label.

The driver who took Lin Xiao was sent by Qiao Zhengrong. When they arrived at the Golden Palace, there were already many luxury cars parked outside the door. Each car represented a celebrity, and the people coming and going created a world of fame and fortune.

Mo Yu rolled down the car window. "Qiao Feng is so famous. So many people came to celebrate his birthday."

Lin Xiao whispered in Mo Yu's ear, "Of course not. The Qiao family is one of the four major families. Everyone who comes here is here to curry favor with them. I heard from my dad that the Qiao family used to be just rich, but I don't know how they managed to squeeze into the top four families in just one month."

Mo Yu was never interested in these things and just smiled. On the other side, Song Fei kept staring at the luxury cars around her, wondering what she was thinking.

Lin Xiao slapped Song Fei's back hard and said, "Stop looking and get off the car. If you look again, it's not yours."

After Lin Xiao handed over the invitation letter, she brought Mo Yu and Song Fei into the hall. Only then did Mo Yu truly understand what luxury was.

The Golden Temple has a profound understanding of art and elegance. The hall is decorated with landscape paintings by famous artists, and products of the Renaissance can also be seen here.

While it might be described as elegant, the extravagance of money is evident everywhere. The entire Golden Palace's decoration is permeated with the smell of money. Mo Yu felt like she was walking directly on a floor of RMB. It was too extravagant.

At this time, quite a few people had gathered in the hall. The ladies inside were dressed more noble than each other. What they wore were all custom-made limited editions. The gentlemen also exuded a sense of nobility in their every move.

It was the first time in Mo Yu's life that she attended such a grand banquet, and she was really not used to it. Besides, the only people she knew were Song Fei and Lin Xiao. She thought it would be better not to walk around casually and just follow Lin Xiao.

Song Fei was no less shocked than Mo Yu. She had previously thought that she and Mo Yu were not from the same world, but today she truly realized how far apart the two worlds were.

Besides being shocked, she was also curious. She was interested in everything here, and her eyes were shining with excitement.

"I'll go take a look inside." Song Fei pointed inside the hall and then ran away.

"Tsk tsk tsk, look at her. She's so happy that her tail is almost up in the sky." Lin Xiao looked at the receding figure with disdain.

Mo Yu patted Lin Xiao's mouth and said, "Why are you so mean? Feifei didn't provoke you. She's just curious about this place. I hope you two can become good friends."

"I don't know why I felt so uncomfortable the first time I saw her." Then Lin Xiao hugged half of Mo Yu's body and said, "You are my only good friend. I love Xiao Yu the most."

"Okay, stop being so annoying. There are so many delicious foods out there. Let's go eat."

The two walked over and saw that the row of desserts and snacks was almost untouched. The noble ladies and ladies all paid great attention to their figure management and would not touch them at all. Only children would take one or two.

Mo Yu picked up a chocolate cake and stuffed it into her mouth. The rich and smooth chocolate and cream melted into her taste buds. It was so delicious.

She picked one up and fed it to Lin Xiao's mouth, "Xiaoxiao, this is delicious."

Lin Xiao hadn't finished digesting the food when Mo Yu forced another large mouthful into her mouth. She mumbled, "Xiao Yu, I'll settle the score with you when I get fatter."

The two of them tried almost every kind of dessert, and they became a strange sight at the party. The waiter said that they must have come here specifically to eat.

Song Fei observed all the way into the innermost part of the hall. She was extremely interested in everything around her. Sometimes a few noble ladies would come over to talk to her, and the waiters were also very respectful to her. She felt extremely satisfied here.

But when she thought that she was lucky enough to come here because of Mo Yu, and that without Mo Yu, she would never be able to reach such a place in her life, the dark jealousy buried in her heart quietly surged up again.

Song Fei was lost in thought and didn't pay attention to her surroundings. She only heard a "bang" and the red wine glass held by the waiter next to her was knocked to the ground by her. The red wine splashed everywhere and hit the skirt of a lady passing by.

When the lady saw that her white skirt had been dyed red, she looked up and down at Song Fei with anger. After she was sure that she was not from the same circle, she suddenly became confident and slapped her to the ground.

"Are you blind, little girl? Do you know how expensive my dress is? You think you're aristocrat just because you sneaked in here. No matter how nice the dress is, it can't hide your aura of poverty."

More and more people gathered around, and the lady showed no intention of stopping. She could not find a sense of superiority among people of the same class, and when she happened to meet Song Fei, she had to humiliate her.

"Is this the place you can come to? Maybe your dress was stolen. I've seen people like you many times. You think you can turn a sparrow into a phoenix just because you have some looks."

The noble lady's scolding attracted more and more people's attention, and everyone naturally made room for her. People gathered in a circle, looking at Song Fei lying on the ground with various expressions, some mocking, some sympathetic, and some bewildered.

Song Fei lowered her head and let others point fingers at her. There was nothing she could do. Who told her that her status was not high enough?

Seeing everyone heading inside, Mo Yu nudged Lin Xiao beside her and said, "Fei Fei, stop eating. What happened in there? Fei Fei is in there. Let's go check."

Lin Xiao put down the cake and wiped it with the tissue on the table. "Could she have been beaten? If so, I'll make fun of her."

Lin Xiao was the first to squeeze into the crowd and saw that it was Song Fei crawling on the ground, and the lady was still cursing. She immediately waved at Mo Yu, "It's really her."

Mo Yu rushed into the crowd and hugged the trembling Song Fei on the ground. She looked up and glared at the lady angrily, "Can't you just talk it out? Why did you hit her?"

"Whose family are you from? She spilled some red wine on my dress, and I don't think she can afford to pay for it because she's so broke."

As soon as Ni Jiamu's voice sounded, "My family's", the people around him automatically made way for him. The man was so handsome, tall and long-legged, cold and noble, with a strong aura.

Ni Jiamu smiled at the lady, but the smile did not reach his eyes. "Madam Su, why did you make such a fuss over a dress? You were making such a fuss here that I thought I was in a vegetable market."

Seeing Ni Jiamu come out, the lady naturally thought that he was helping the woman she had beaten, and suddenly became nervous, "Mr. Ni, is she yours?" Pointing at Song Fei on the ground.

"I don't know her, but she is from my family." Ni Jiamu picked up Mo Yu, held her in his arms, and smiled calmly.

"I told you, how could someone so blind know Mr. Ni?" She was immediately glad that she didn't scold Mo Yu.

"Brother, and Feifei."

Hearing Mo Yu's words, Ni Jiamu glanced at Song Fei and said, "Madam Su is also from the upper class. If you argue with someone you don't like over a dress, you will be laughed at. So, in the future, you can get free shopping at any of my stores."

Seeing that Ni Jiamu said this, Mrs. Su didn't want to argue anymore. She nodded and turned to leave. The people around them dispersed when they saw that there was nothing exciting to watch.

Mo Yu hurried to check on Song Fei's face. Fortunately, it wasn't too serious, just a little swollen, and there were no marks left.

"Thank you, Brother Jiamu." Song Fei stepped forward to express her gratitude.

"I'm doing this for my Xiaoyu, otherwise I wouldn't care. Also, I'm not your Jiamu brother."

Ni Jiamu turned around and put on a smile, and adjusted Mo Yu's dress. "I didn't expect that we were attending the same banquet. Go and play with Lin Xiao. There's food over there. We'll go home together after it's over. Be good." After saying that, he touched her head and left with the red wine glass.

Lin Xiao approached Mo Yu with a face full of infatuation and said, "Brother Jiamu is so handsome, he's a real boss. I'm going to tell Qiao Mu about Brother Jiamu's heroic deeds when I get home."

"Qiao Mu didn't come?" Mo Yu asked

"No, he said he would run into his dad. I'll pack some cakes and bring them back for him later."
