The villa's hall was vast, with smooth marble floors and a gigantic crystal chandelier, just like the lobby of a hotel.

By the time the three of them arrived, the place had already gathered quite a crowd, all young people. The women were uniformly in evening gowns, most dressed rather provocatively with glittering beads, as if they were movie stars about to walk the red carpet at a film festival. Interestingly, there were actually several domestically famous actresses among them.

The men were all in branded or even tailor-made suits, which, despite some lacking in looks or physique, made them appear particularly charismatic.

Tonight, Ge Dongxu was dressed in a Zegna suit he'd bought previously. Except for his watch, which seemed somewhat modest, everything else was fine, and he didn't stand out too much.

"Master Feng, you're here tonight too!"

"Young Master Feng, long time no see!"

"Good evening, Master Feng!"

"..."@@novelbin@@

As people swarmed towards Feng Chenqing and quickly surrounded him, particularly the women whose eyes shone brightly upon seeing him, Ge Dongxu finally understood why Feng Chenqing was reluctant to attend the charity evening here.

Clearly, with his status, his presence among these youngsters was bound to become the center of attention.

Even Feng Chenming, the Feng family's Second Young Master, was no exception. Find adventures at My Virtual Library Empire

Ge Dongxu, the instigator who got the Feng brothers surrounded, was quick-witted. Seeing the unfavorable situation, he took a glass of red wine from a waiter's tray and slipped alone into a corner, quietly admiring a woman in a pristine white evening gown playing the piano by the stairs.

"Tell me, Wanyue, who exactly is Ge Dongxu? He doesn't seem to be from the capital," Lin Jingwen couldn't help but ask Fang Wanyue curiously at the entrance of the hall.

"He's from the provinces. As for what exactly he is, you don't need to ask too much; just know that he's a man with money. Why? Interested? If you're interested, I can introduce you. But whether he takes a fancy to you, I really wouldn't know," Fang Wanyue said.

"The man is quite handsome, and he has a good physique. But my family isn't short of money now, and all the old man wants is for me to find a second-generation official. It would be fine to play around with him, but if it got serious, my old man would definitely disagree," Lin Jingwen said seriously after thinking it over.

"Wow, your old man would definitely disagree? Let me tell you, Lin Jingwen, if you could hook up with Ge Dongxu, it would be incredibly lucky for your ancestors. Your father would not disagree; he'd beg for such an opportunity," Fang Wanyue immediately said upon hearing this.

Others might not know Ge Dongxu's identity, but Fang Wanyue was well aware!

He was her grandfather's fellow disciple!

"Is it really that exaggerated?" Lin Jingwen naturally didn't believe it and rolled her eyes at Fang Wanyue.

"Don't believe it then. I'm just giving you a tip as a good friend," Fang Wanyue rolled her eyes back and shrugged.

...

The charity evening officially began not long after.

The event proceeded in the form of an auction, where the items on auction were mostly donated by the women attending the evening, and then the men bid on them.

The items donated by the women were interesting: earrings, necklaces, cheongsams they had worn... and even one daring woman who donated her lingerie, immediately causing a lot of screams and fierce bidding among the men.

Seeing this scene, Ge Dongxu finally understood why the Feng brothers were reluctant to come.

Especially Feng Chenqing, the eldest grandson of the Feng Family, for him, this event resembled more of a farce.

However, Ge Dongxu didn't see anything wrong with it. No matter the method, at least they had raised funds for charity.

Halfway through the auction, the auctioneer presented a pair of turquoise earrings once worn by Fang Wanyue, her favorite pair.

It could be said that many of the young men and women who came tonight did so because of Fang Wanyue, so when the earrings were introduced, they immediately sparked a climax at the party.

The bidding quickly escalated from five thousand to fifty thousand, then slowly to a hundred thousand.

After it reached a hundred thousand, not many dared to make frivolous bids, considering that real estate prices in the capital were only around three to five thousand per square meter; a hundred thousand was indeed a substantial amount for these young men and women.

Seeing no one willing to bid higher, Ge Dongxu, who had been silent and low-key, directly shouted out five hundred thousand, after which the room fell quiet, and many turned to look at Ge Dongxu with astonishment.

However, it didn't take long for the astonished looks to turn into ridicule. Many whispered, "This guy looks unfamiliar, must be new around here. What a fool, shelling out five hundred thousand just like that in hopes of gaining Fang Wanyue's favor. Does he even consider her social status? Is he even worthy?"

"Five hundred thousand! I bet this guy will have to live on porridge and bran for a while after this!"

"Living on porridge and bran is the least of his concerns. Did you see the frowns on the faces of Young Master Zheng, Young Master Lin, and a few others? Who here doesn't know they are interested in Fang Wanyue? Initially, everyone was just joining in for the fun, but in the end, it's known that it's these few who are competing. And this fool just had to interfere, I bet he's going to have a hard time mingling in the capital after this."

"Heh, definitely. But, wow, I do have to admire the guy for being able to bid five hundred thousand without even a frown, not sure what his family does."

"True, my monthly allowance is only twenty thousand. Five hundred thousand? I'd have to save up for two years!"

"However, I think I saw him come in with Feng Chenqing and the Second Young Master."

"Give me a break, that must be a coincidence! With the social status of Feng Chenqing and the Second Young Master? If this guy was really close to them, wouldn't we know?"

"…"

Amid the buzzing discussions, the auctioneer had already brought down the gavel, and then a hostess brought the pair of turquoise earrings over to Ge Dongxu.

Ge Dongxu seemed not to have heard the comments about him, nor seen the looks he was getting, and didn't reach for the earrings. Instead, he whispered something to the hostess.

The hostess looked slightly startled for a moment, and then, still carrying the tray with the earrings, walked towards Fang Wanyue.

"Damn! That guy really did it for Fang Wanyue, but this is way too blatant!" Seeing the hostess walk towards Fang Wanyue with the tray, everyone in the hall understood that Ge Dongxu had bought the earrings to give to Fang Wanyue, and started whispering amongst themselves again.

"Lucky you, Fang Wanyue, persuading me to hook up with this Ge Dongxu earlier. Turns out you wanted me to test him out!" Nearby, Lin Jingwen, seeing the hostess approach her and Fang Wanyue, gave Fang Wanyue a contemptuous look.

"Lin Jingwen, you shouldn't talk nonsense like that, he and I are impossible," Fang Wanyue replied to Lin Jingwen, startled by her words.

After all, he was her grandfather's fellow Taoist disciple.
