The guests who had secured invitations included prominent business figures and rising political stars, yet even they were stunned to discover that the calligraphy and famous paintings hanging in the Winery Estate were all originals.
Several young men huddled together, talking.
Their voices dripped with resentment.
"That little baggage really lucked out."
"You think just anyone can get himself a godfather? Tsk, look at that face. Fuck, I'd like a taste of him too."
"Bo Lin keeps such a close eye on him. You dare?"
"Hey, do you think Hua Jian and that old man really are father and son? Why do I get the feeling..."
As he spoke, the shorter man made an obscene gesture. Coupled with the expression on his face, it instantly drew knowing laughter from the others.
"Who would've thought the old geezer could still get it up at his age?"
"Why else do you think someone like Bo Lin is so completely hooked? Hua Jian must know how to play."
Their little corner felt like a world of its own.
They had all come with elders from their families.
Naturally, it rankled that someone from the bottom rung who had suddenly appeared in the Imperial Capital had now vaulted above them.
They talked about how Hua Jian's mother had seduced Xie Cheng and successfully married into a wealthy family with her baggage in tow.
How Hua Jian had used that face to bewitch the three Xie brothers into transferring shares to him.
And how he had charmed Bo Lin senseless, even moving into the Winery Estate the Bo Family had built as Bo Lin's marital home...
Every man's eyes brimmed with jealousy. This was the heavenly Bo Lin, whom none of them could have!
Ultimately, they did not care how much money Hua Jian had.
