Chapter 147: Chapter 147: Charity GalaLeaving the office, Lin Tong slapped away Ye Xuan’s hand, "Aren’t you going to remove your wolf’s paw?" Yet Ye Xuan’s face was full of curiosity as he said, "Wife, don’t you have anything to say?" "What is there to say?" "I just avenged you; you could at least show some gratitude by having an ’undress war’ with me at the office. Or at least give me some sort of reward." "Go to hell!!!" Irritated and embarrassed, Lin Tong glared at Ye Xuan, "You just hit my dad. Do you really think I should thank you for that? It’s already good enough that I don’t punish you, and you still want a reward? Do you want me to give you the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms as a prize?" Cough cough, the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms are too violent, giving me ’Eighteen Touches’ would be more like it. "Wife, what kind of father does that? You’re my woman; no one is allowed to lay a hand on you!" Ye Xuan swung his arm, speaking in a domineering tone. Hearing Ye Xuan’s words, Lin Tong’s voice softened with tenderness, "You were too impulsive. You shouldn’t have hit him just now. No matter what he did wrong, he’s still my dad. Hitting him will only make him despise you more and will not agree to our being together." "Pfft. I don’t care whether he agrees or not. I’m marrying you, not him. Besides, his opposition is invalid." Ye Xuan shrugged his shoulders dismissively. "It’s easy for you to say, but he’s still my father. If our relationship becomes strained, can we still be father and daughter? Or will we not see him again? Now when you two meet, it’s like you’re enemies. Have you ever considered my feelings?" Lin Tong furrowed her eyebrows, sighing somewhat resentfully. What daughter wouldn’t want her parents’ blessing when she’s getting married? Although Lin Dongfang was no good, he was still her father. The emotional bond of blood could not be severed. Ye Xuan said indifferently, "I was right to hit him today; he deserved it! But wife, you don’t have to worry about that, I guarantee that he’ll come crying to me, asking to become my father-in-law." Looking at Ye Xuan’s confident manner, Lin Tong sighed and said, "I know what Lin Dongfang is like. It’s simply impossible for him to lower his head and beg you to become his son-in-law, unless the sun rises from the west." Ye Xuan chuckled, "Wife, just you wait and see. I believe that day won’t be far off. The sun will rise from the west soon enough." Lin Tong looked at Ye Xuan with surprise, then gave a bitter smile, shaking her head, "Forget it, I don’t have the time to listen to your boasting. You said earlier that you got a slot for the charity dinner, is that true?" "Of course it’s true." "Do you have an invitation?" Lin Tong asked sceptically. "No, but I assure you I can get you in," Ye Xuan said with a mysterious smile. He decided not to tell his wife about the Black Gold Card just yet and would surprise her with it later. "How can we go without an invitation? I’m not going!" Lin Tong frowned. "Hehe, I have my ways! Come on, I’ll take you to the charity dinner." Ye Xuan laughed, took Lin Tong’s hand, and walked her downstairs. Lin Tong could not resist Ye Xuan’s persistence and let him drag her all the way to the Maserati in the basement parking lot. Seeing Lin Tong’s still skeptical expression, Ye Xuan didn’t say anything. He simply got into the driver’s seat, beckoned Lin Tong to sit down, and then turned the key. Vroom! The Maserati roared to life, tracing an arc as it sped out of the underground garage. Ye Xuan knew why Lin Tong didn’t want to go: without an invitation, she had no right to attend the dinner, couldn’t even get through the door, and would surely be the subject of ridicule. But Ye Xuan had a Black Gold Card, which was many times more prestigious than an invitation. Who would dare keep him out? ... Royal Dragon Mansion. This was the most top-tier hotel in East Sea City and also a chain hotel found in major cities across the country, even in the Capital City. It was involved in catering, entertainment, services, and leisure industries, and the person behind Royal Dragon Mansion was none other than Liu Group. To be precise, it was the woman Liu Ying! The venue for this charity dinner was the Imperial Dragon Mansion. Twenty minutes later, Ye Xuan parked in front of the gate of the Imperial Dragon Mansion, pulling the frowning Lin Tong out of the car. "Wife, rest assured, we will definitely get in." Ye Xuan said with a smile as he took Lin Tong by the hand and walked towards the Imperial Dragon Mansion. Lin Tong had been hesitant at first, but seeing Ye Xuan’s determined gaze, she subconsciously chose to trust him. Because he had never let her down before. The Imperial Dragon Mansion was incredibly luxurious. Especially at night when lit up by lights, it shone with an enchanting luster, resplendent and magnificent, like an ancient castle and palace, captivating to the eye! Being here made one feel like a member of the ancient aristocracy, impressively rich and grandiose. In fact, that was indeed the case. At this moment, the square of the Imperial Dragon Mansion was filled with countless luxury cars, with BMWs and Audis being the least impressive, parked on the outermost edge. Lamborghinis and Porsches were common sights, Mercedes-Benz cars filled the streets, but only the likes of Wanbacher and Bentley, the true symbols of wealth, were allowed to park in the core area. For instance, Lin Tong’s Maserati could only barely secure a spot in the middle. This place was a feast of luxury cars, and even holding a car show here wouldn’t be an overstatement—it would be a world-class luxury car exhibition! Ye Xuan even spotted a conspicuous Rolls-Royce Phantom among the cars, its license plate bearing six sixes, a car that one couldn’t get their hands on without spending over ten million. Liu Ying’s secretary, Song Qingfei, once said that without a net worth of fifty million, one had no right to come here. It seemed that statement was not an exaggeration. "Ye Xuan, let’s not go in." Seeing this scene before her, Lin Tong’s complexion changed and she began to backpedal. In East Sea City, this international metropolis, there was a mix of all sorts of people, but plenty of opportunities as well, with everyone trying to climb up in search of fame and fortune. At the same time, there was no shortage of people with status and position. Eastern Group was just an emerging company and couldn’t compare with those established conglomerates. Although the charity dinner was an opportunity that Lin Tong wanted to attend, Eastern Group had no access. If they couldn’t even get through the door, it would be a huge embarrassment! "Wife, just follow me, I will definitely take you inside." Ye Xuan patted Lin Tong’s hand to comfort her, then walked forward with his chest puffed out. As evening fell at seven o’clock, the lights had just started to glow. At the gate of the Imperial Dragon Mansion stood several young girls dressed in cheongsams, their sexy legs exposed, causing hearts to itch with desire. Looking around, one luxury car after another arrived, with tycoons, magnates, aloof CEOs, and ladies clad in diamond-studded evening gowns stepping out of their vehicles and heading towards the Imperial Dragon Mansion. This was a feast for the elite and the wealthy; commoners had no place here. Commoners could only set up street stalls in the cold, compelled by life’s struggles. There was truly no such thing as fairness in this world. "Sir, please present your invitation." At the entrance, a cheongsam-clad beauty spoke to Ye Xuan with a smile, her voice very gentle. Lin Tong’s heart raced up to her throat, unsure how Ye Xuan could possibly take her inside. "Sorry, I don’t have an invitation." Ye Xuan shook his head and told the woman in the cheongsam. "I’m sorry, sir, but you cannot attend the dinner without an invitation, you can’t go in." The cheongsam-clad beauty frowned, her voice becoming colder. Without an invitation and yet wanting to attend the dinner, wasn’t this deliberately causing trouble? "Hahaha, that’s hilarious, wanting to get in without an invitation, are you here for a laugh?" Just then, a mocking voice came from behind.
