Chapter 174: Chapter 165: TitanicA little after nine o’clock, Su Xiaowan stepped into the lobby and walked over to Sophie, whispering softly, "President, everything is arranged outside, we should get going." Sophie nodded, then stood up. Su Xiaowan moved aside to retrieve Sophie’s LV handbag and handed it to her. "Lin Mu, let’s go." "Okay!" Lin Mu nodded and then got up to walk downstairs with Sophie. Downstairs, a designated driver was already waiting at the entrance of Yunhai Mansion. Exiting the mansion, Lin Mu followed Sophie into the back of the car. The car slowly drove away from Yunhai Mansion, heading towards the West District Port of Wancheng. "Feifei, at such events, Chen Shiwei and Han Si Hai will also attend, right?" Lin Mu chatted with Miss Su in the car out of boredom. "You don’t have to worry about that. As for Han Si Hai, because of some unpleasant incident at last year’s dance, he won’t be invited this year. Regarding Chen Shiwei, he has always had a partnership with Jiao Yunda, so he will definitely attend!" Lin Mu nodded, "Ah, that’s great, as long as that pest Han Si Hai isn’t there. For some reason, every time I see him, I get incredibly nauseated!" After about twenty minutes of driving, the car arrived at the West District Port of Wancheng. At the port parking lot, Lin Mu and Sophie got out of the car. The parking lot at the port was filled with brand-new luxury cars, which undoubtedly all belonged to the bigwigs of Southern China’s business world. Lin Mu stood beside the car, gazing at a luxurious cruise ship about two hundred meters long and ten meters high docked at the port, and exclaimed in awe, "Wow, this cruise ship is so damn luxurious!" "Well, of course, it’s none other than the famous Titanic, sister ship to the famed Titanic! There are less than five worldwide, and in all of Huaxia, there is only this one. The facilities inside are complete: bathing and sauna, royal buffet restaurant, noble-style fitness center, outdoor swimming pool and massage pool, sports ground, cinema, carnival nightclub, maternal and child health center..." President Su was in a good mood and spoke eloquently. As Lin Mu listened to her talk, he couldn’t help but feel a little dazed watching her charming red lips. "Ah, this wicked economic society, everything’s just burning money!" Lin Mu sighed, shaking his head in contemplation. Searᴄh the Nôvel(F)ire.nёt website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. "Alright, stop sighing!" Sophie lightly slapped Lin Mu, then pointed to a man in a suit not far ahead, "That’s Jiao Yunda, a leading figure of the third generation in the Jiao Family of Jinling!" "Got it." Lin Mu nodded and then laughed, "Haha, but this guy looks all slick and sly, doesn’t quite seem like a good person!" "Uh..." President Su was speechless, "What kind of person are you! Seeing someone handsome and charming, you call them slick and sly, not a good person. If they’re less appealing, you say they’re sleazy and vulgar. It’s like you’re the only handsome and stylish man in the world, Lin Mu!" "Thank you for the compliment!" Lin Mu shamelessly thanked her. "Stop the nonsense, let’s go." Sophie grabbed Lin Mu’s arm and walked over together. "Haha, Feifei, you’re here!" Jiao Yunda smiled and greeted Sophie as she approached. Sophie smiled as she walked up and nodded, "Brother Jiao, long time no see!" "Indeed, long time no see! President Feifei is becoming more beautiful!" "Haha, thank you for the compliment, Brother Jiao!" Sophie pointed to Lin Mu and introduced, "Let me introduce, this is my fiancé Lin Mu!" "Fiancé?" Upon hearing Sophie’s introduction, Jiao Yunda shrugged, but his expression quickly adjusted. After all, being the third-generation leader of the Jiao Family means possessing the ability to quickly change expressions without revealing emotions. "Haha, so this is Feifei’s fiancé, meeting him today, he indeed has an extraordinary demeanor, pleasure to meet you!" Jiao Yunda smiled and politely extended his hand. Although Jiao Yunda adjusted his expression quickly, he couldn’t escape Lin Mu’s keen eyes. Lin Mu detected something from Jiao Yunda’s gaze! But considering President Su’s reputation and the necessity of dealing with these people, he chose to see through without exposing, having a clear understanding himself, and not concerning himself with others, so Lin Mu politely smiled at him. "Pleasure to meet you!" "Please come inside, the guest rooms are ready for you. Feel free to play inside for a while, or rest if you wish. The dance will be held tonight." "Thank you, Brother Jiao, see you tonight." Sophie smiled, holding Lin Mu’s arm as they followed a security guard in a black suit onto the ship. Shortly after Sophie and Lin Mu boarded the ship, Chen Shiwei got out of his car and walked over. "Brother Jiao!" Chen Shiwei smiled and greeted as he walked up, maintaining a generations-long friendly relationship with the Jiao Family, so they got along well. It’s precisely because of Chen Shiwei that Han Si Hai was not invited this year! "Hey, Younger Brother Chen, you made it, we were all anxiously waiting!" Jiao Yunda walked up and patted Chen Shiwei on the shoulder. "Haha, haven’t seen you in months, Brother Jiao is still as handsome as ever!" Chen Shiwei jokingly complimented. "Geez, are you insulting me or complimenting me!" Jiao Yunda joked as he patted Chen Shiwei, then asked, "What’s going on with you? Seems like your dream girl Feifei is now with someone else?" Upon hearing Jiao Yunda’s words, Chen Shiwei shrugged helplessly and laughed, "Brother Jiao might not know, Lin Mu is just a puppet Sophie uses to deal with her family. Officially, he’s Sophie’s fiancé, but in reality, he’s merely her personal bodyguard. Haha, there’s no emotional connection between them. Now Sophie doesn’t want to date or marry, but due to family pressure, she casually found Lin Mu as a shield. As long as they haven’t married, I still have a chance! Ah, keep this matter between us, don’t spread it to others!" "Understood, understood, haha. Didn’t realize you’re quite infatuated with Sophie, but let me give you some advice: it’s better to act sooner with women. There’s a saying, ’prolonged nights breed many dreams; delay leads to changes.’ Also, if it’s as you said, you should act swiftly so that others don’t seize the opportunity and leave you with no chance." Jiao Yunda patted Chen Shiwei on the shoulder and kindly advised. "Oh, I appreciate your advice, Brother Jiao. However, as you may know, Feifei’s temperament is such that what she doesn’t want to do, no one can force her. Otherwise, she wouldn’t be known as the Ice Queen of the Pearl River Delta Mall!" Chen Shiwei replied. "Indeed, Sophie’s character seems gentle on the surface, but deep down there’s an unyielding spirit. Whatever she decides or wants to do is almost immovable! However... I might have a way to deal with that guy Lin Mu for you!" Jiao Yunda raised his head, glanced at Chen Shiwei, and said.
