The relationship between people is a strange thing, sometimes called fate, sometimes called destiny!
Long Xinyu was dragged by his elder brother to attend the company’s banquet and was very reluctant. He felt that all banquets were similar, with a flavor of decadent extravagance, hypocrisy, and boredom, whether you liked it or not, you had to mingle in it.
Long Xinyu found a gap to slip out to smoke a cigarette, and then went to the restroom. While washing his hands at the sink, Long Xinyu curled his lips, rubbed his face in front of the gold-rimmed mirror to try to keep a smile, but no matter how he looked, he felt that the person in the mirror was smiling insincerely. Long Xinyu gave up, and he reluctantly wandered out of the restroom, preparing to return to the banquet hall.
To return to the banquet hall, he had to walk through a corridor. At this time, it was already dark outside, and the crystal lamps in the corridor were lit, very gorgeous, but the light was not bright enough, with a hazy dim yellow, giving the corridor a hazy, unreal feeling.
Long Xinyu staggered around a corner, and saw a man and a woman entangled behind a pillar in the corridor, the man almost pressing down on the woman.
Long Xinyu frowned. Although the social atmosphere was open now, those attending the banquet were all people with some status. How could they be like sex-starved ghosts, putting on a restricted scene in the corridor?
Long Xinyu was a little curious about who was so lacking in discretion. When he got closer, he glanced and found that the entangled man and woman were Min Jun and Luo Pingping.
Min Jun held Luo Pingping with one hand, and the other hand groped between Luo Pingping’s waist and legs. Luo Pingping’s delicate little face was flushed red, and she desperately pushed Min Jun, almost crying!
Long Xinyu thought: Oh, it doesn’t look like a consensual love game.

Min Jun and Luo Pingping pushed and pressed each other, not noticing Long Xinyu standing on the other side of the pillar.
Long Xinyu’s father’s generation had intersections with Min Jun’s father’s generation. Long Xinyu and Min Jun had even played together in their childhood, but as they grew older, Min Jun became more and more dissolute, indulging in wine, women, wealth, and anger, acting insidiously and unscrupulously, and his reputation became worse and worse. Long Xinyu really couldn’t stand Min Jun, and always felt that he was like a maggot in a gutter. Although he didn’t bite himself, he was disgusted by him, so in recent years, there has been almost no contact.
Luo Pingping is an artist under Li Guang’s company, who is Long Xinyu’s good brother. This young girl seems to have debuted as a child star, and is now only in her early 20s. She hasn’t even left school yet, but she has signed with Li’s, held several concerts, acted in movies, and has some fame. However, how did Luo Pingping get together with Min Jun?
Long Xinyu narrowed his eyes, and based on the scene in front of him, he imagined a scene of a playboy rich second generation harassing a young and innocent star.
Long Xinyu and Li Guang grew up together. Li Guang has a hot and tough temper and hates Min Jun very much, never giving Min Jun a good look. Long Xinyu thought that Min Jun was tired of living, even daring to provoke artists under Li Guang’s company, and still at his own company’s celebration party. He was so bold that he was asking for a beating – beating Min Jun was more interesting than attending a boring party. Long Xinyu grinned, walked over slowly, stretched out his long legs, and kicked Min Jun in the waist.
Min Jun was kicked right in the middle, staggered, and retreated several steps.
“Who the hell—” He opened his mouth to curse, and then saw Long Xinyu, who was raising the corners of his mouth and looking at him evilly. The swear words that came to his mouth were swallowed again. Based on Min Jun’s understanding of Long Xinyu, if he dared to curse, Long Xinyu would definitely beat him up, and he had never been Long Xinyu’s opponent since he was a child.
Luo Pingping, the little beauty he was interested in, was grabbing her skirt and protecting her chest, hiding behind Long Xinyu.
Min Jun stared at Long Xinyu with his small eyes that seemed dim, looking fierce but cowardly, and said: “Long Xinyu, what are you doing? Today is our Long family’s party. There are many media outside. If something goes wrong, it will be a slap in the face to our Long family!”
Long Xinyu rolled his eyes amusingly: “You also know that today is our Long family’s party? Then what were you doing just now?”
Min Jun straightened his clothes and said: “I was just expressing my love for Miss Luo’s film and television works, right, Miss Luo?” Saying that, he glanced at Luo Pingping hiding in front of Long Xinyu.
Luo Pingping bit her lower lip without answering.
Long Xinyu smiled: “That’s a coincidence, I just slipped my foot and expressed my foot’s love for your honorable buttocks, right, Young Master Min!”
Long Xinyu emphasized the three words “Young Master Min” very heavily, full of ridicule.
How could Min Jun not hear his sarcasm? He was already very unhappy, but he weighed it: there were only them in the corridor, and the bodyguards didn’t follow him. If he started fighting, he would definitely not be Long Xinyu’s opponent. As for family power, the Min family couldn’t compare with the Long family. Min Jun’s face changed several times before he swallowed his anger and said: “Second Young Master Long is joking, don’t hurt your foot.”
“Oh, Young Master Min is really good at talking. I’m not hurt, and you’re not hurt either. Then you should do what you should do, don’t entangle with little girls here!” Long Xinyu’s face was playful, but his tone carried a bit of threat. Anyway, he, Long Xinyu, didn’t mind having a conflict with Min Jun. If he could take the opportunity to beat Min Jun, Long Xinyu would be very willing to do it.
Min Jun glanced at Long Xinyu and Luo Pingping in front of him with gloomy eyes.
Seeing that his eyes were unkind and he seemed unwilling to give up, Long Xinyu raised his eyebrows and raised his chin: “What, Young Master Min isn’t leaving yet? Do you want me to personally send you off?” Saying that, he stepped forward two steps.
Min Jun took a step back subconsciously: “I don’t need to bother Second Young Master, I just drank too much and came out to get some air, I should go back too, excuse me!” Saying that, he turned and left.
Coward!
Long Xinyu snorted unhappily, looking at Min Jun’s back.
If Min Jun ruthlessly started a fight with him, Long Xinyu would think that this person had some blood, but Min Jun’s cowardly appearance made Long Xinyu look down on him even more.
Seeing Min Jun leave, Long Xinyu turned around and saw Luo Pingping shrinking in front of him.
The little girl clasped her arms around her chest, her eyes were red, and she looked at him tremblingly.
Long Xinyu tried his best to put on a kind smile and comforted: “He’s gone, it’s okay, little girl, you have to learn to protect yourself. Next time you encounter such a person, aim directly at the vital points, kick them, don’t be soft-hearted or soft-handed.”
Luo Pingping looked at Long Xinyu with her watery big eyes and said in a small voice: “I, I just signed a contract, that Min… Young Master Min seems like someone you can’t easily offend. I, I’m afraid, afraid of causing trouble for the company.” Saying that, she lowered her eyes and secretly sized up Long Xinyu.
Under the light, Luo Pingping’s eyes were clear, powerful, and helpless. Long Xinyu thought that Luo Pingping had been in the entertainment industry for some time, and it was rare that she still had such clear eyes. It’s hard to see through the eyes of many people who have been in the industry for a long time!
Long Xinyu sighed slightly in his heart: This kind of newly signed star probably doesn’t want to cause trouble for the company, and is also afraid that making a scene will give her a bad reputation, so she can only swallow her anger. Obviously, she still doesn’t understand the strength of Li’s. Just the words “Li’s” are enough for her to do whatever she wants.
However, there are quite a few such stars in Li Guang’s company. Otherwise, next time he looks for Li Guang, Li Guang’s secretary will tell him that the company has just signed a young man with a lot of potential, and he might not even remember this Luo Pingping after taking a look.
Anyway, it was just a matter of lifting a finger to help Luo Pingping out. Long Xinyu casually comforted: “Little girl, you’re sensible, but you still have to be tough when you should be tough. If anything happens, your President Li will cover you.” Saying that, he patted Luo Pingping on the shoulder: “I’m going back to the hall, do you want to come with me?”
Luo Pingping pulled on her skirt that was pulled askew and stammered: “I want to go to the restroom to tidy up.”
Long Xinyu looked at her and said: “Then be careful yourself, don’t give some scumbags a chance to pretend to be crazy while drunk.”
“Okay!” Luo Pingping nodded in response.
Long Xinyu smiled at her and walked away whistling happily, not hearing the soft thank you Luo Pingping said behind him.
As soon as Long Xinyu entered the hall, he saw guests everywhere, gathered in twos and threes chatting, the women were elegantly dressed, and the men were resplendent, with the same polite, impolite, and false smiles on their faces. Long Xinyu curled his lips, complaining in his heart that it was hypocritical and boring.
He took a glass of champagne from a passing waiter, and before he could even bring it to his mouth, someone patted him on the back.
“Where did you go, kid? You’re late for your own family’s party. Aren’t you afraid that Brother Long will punish you?” a teasing voice rang out.
Long Xinyu turned around and smiled when he saw that it was Wenren Ying: “I arrived long ago, I just went out to smoke a cigarette, and besides, my brother has already forced me to attend such a boring party, how could he be willing to punish me.”
Wenren Ying winked at him: “I knew you’d find it boring. Just now they were still saying that they’d go out and have fun after the party ends!”
“They? Li Guang is here too, right?” Hearing Wenren Ying’s words, Long Xinyu thought that Li Guang must have come too. He held his wine glass and looked around for someone.
Wenren Ying said: “He went to say hello to acquaintances, he’ll be over in a while. He asked me if we want to go out and have fun later!”
Hearing Wenren Ying ask, Long Xinyu answered readily: “Of course, you and Li Guang have been busy recently, we haven’t gone out for a while, it’s a good time to get together. Have you decided where to go?”
“Li Guang said to go to Paris-sur-Mer, they just got a batch of new wine there.”
“A good place, the wine there is really good!”
“I knew this kid would agree, but I still had to ask. Which time could he miss a drinking contest!” Li Guang, who had just greeted his business partners, walked over from another direction and heard Wenren Ying and Long Xinyu’s conversation.
Seeing Li Guang, Long Xinyu remembered the scene in the corridor just now, and asked curiously: “Li Guang, is Luo Pingping the female companion you brought? You have to take care of the people you bring. I just saw Min Jun blocking Luo Pingping and harassing her in the corridor. I heroically saved the beauty and kicked Min Jun away. You have to toast me a cup later when we drink.”
“Who are you calling brother?” Li Guang subconsciously retorted Long Xinyu’s address, and then realized what he meant, “Luo Pingping went too? Min Jun harassed her?”
Long Xinyu nodded.
“Luo Pingping wasn’t brought by me, she should have gone with the company’s agent to get familiar with socializing.” Li Guang explained, and then said with a look of disgust: “Min Jun is tired of living, even daring to provoke my people?”
Li Guang, Long Xinyu, and Wenren Ying’s fathers have a deep friendship. They are about the same age and grew up together. The relationship between the few people has always been very good, their appearances are not bad, and their family backgrounds are also good. After adulthood, in the love arena, everyone loves to play, but they play with people who can afford to play, who are willing, and they won’t embarrass people. As for business, each has their own family business to manage, and they don’t cross the line.
Min Jun is different from them. This person was narrow-minded since he was a child, and even more despicable before he grew up. In the business world, he sticks his feet everywhere, whether it’s crooked, evil, or upright, completely without principles or bottom lines. Not to mention in the love arena, he doesn’t care whether the person is in or out of the circle, and if he takes a fancy to someone, he will try every means to get them, regardless of whether the other person is willing or not. He has done a lot of insidious and unethical things. It is said that a while ago, he took a fancy to a female teacher, used methods to force her, and also took a lot of money to reverse black and white. As a result, the female teacher couldn’t stand it and committed suicide. The matter was quite big – Li Guang was even more disdainful of Min Jun’s actions.
Of course, Long Xinyu knew that Li Guang didn’t like Min Jun. He fanned the flames with pleasure: “Oh, President Li, you’re so majestic, so majestic that Young Master Min blocked ‘your people’ and started. If it wasn’t for me kicking him, your little flower would have been forcibly plucked.”
“Is Min Jun so arrogant?” Wenren Ying asked curiously.
Long Xinyu described in detail the process of how he saw Min Jun harassing Luo Pingping in the corridor just now, and then how he heroically saved the beauty, emphasizing how wretched Min Jun was, and how upright he was, and then he was despised by Wenren Ying and Li Guang together.
Wenren Ying’s temperament is relatively gentle among the three of them. After despising Long Xinyu, thinking about Min Jun’s actions, he couldn’t hide his disgust. In fact, being in their position, most of the things in the love arena are voluntary, and there is no need to use despicable means. Min Jun just likes to play tricks, and even Wenren Ying couldn’t help but say: “If Min Jun does this again in the future, just beat him up every time you see him.”
Li Guang was surprised: “Oh, isn’t Young Master Wenren usually the most disdainful of using violence to solve problems?” In Li Guang’s eyes, Wenren Ying was polite and loved to put on the air of a noble young master, how could he start advocating violence too? Could it be that he’s been hanging out with them for too long and has been influenced by bad company?
Wenren Ying sighed and said with emotion: “I have to admit that some things are easier to solve with violence.”
His words sounded meaningful. Long Xinyu and Li Guang looked at each other.
Li Guang leaned closer and booed: “Come on, good brother, tell me your story and let us brothers care about you!”
“There’s no story, just a feeling.” Wenren Ying said.
How could Li Guang and Long Xinyu, who knew his temperament well, believe him? The two surrounded Wenren Ying, teasing him and asking him to say something. Wenren Ying couldn’t keep his mouth shut. Long Xinyu smiled and said he wanted to “use torture”, and Li Guang put his arm around Wenren Ying’s neck. Wenren Ying struggled, and the three of them were joking around, when melodious music rang out, and the lights in the hall dimmed. The spotlights on the stage in front of the banquet hall finally flickered, and the host came on stage to warm up the atmosphere.
The three of them stopped teasing, straightened their clothes, and obediently found their respective seats.
On the stage were lengthy opening remarks, congratulatory speeches, performances, and other ceremonial segments.
After a long time, Wenren Ying saw that it wouldn’t end in a short while, and he poked Long Xinyu beside him: “Can we leave first?” Hearing his question, Li Guang also looked at Long Xinyu eagerly – this was their Long family’s party, so whether or not they could leave first was up to Long Xinyu to decide.
Long Xinyu was a little worried that his brother would punish him if he knew he slipped away first, but he looked around, the lights were dim, there were so many people, and his elder brother was sitting in the last row in formal attire. There were also various speeches and ceremonies before, so he probably wouldn’t notice him. If he didn’t slip away now, when would he? So he winked at his two good friends: “Let’s leave now!”
The three of them smiled at each other and left their seats tacitly, moving towards the back of the crowd until they slipped out of the hall.
When they arrived at the entrance of the hotel, the valet parked the three’s cars. The three of them didn’t bring drivers today, so they each drove their cars to Paris-sur-Mer, booked a private room, and ordered wine.
The three hadn’t gathered for a while, so they drank, sang, and made a fuss all night, until it was almost midnight, and then they started a drinking contest again. Before long, they were all drunk.
The next day, Wenren Ying was the first to wake up. When he opened his eyes, it was already bright daylight. He rubbed his forehead and woke up Li Guang and Long Xinyu. The three of them left the bar smelling of alcohol, intending to go home and rest.
There were no valet parking attendants at this time of day. The three walked and chatted to the parking lot. Wenren Ying walked in the front, and his car was parked behind Long Xinyu’s car.
Wenren Ying was still not too awake after drinking too much last night. When he walked to Long Xinyu’s car, Wenren Ying’s feet staggered, and he almost fell. He subconsciously supported the rear of Long Xinyu’s car, and felt a strange smell between his nostrils.
Wenren Ying muttered: “Xinyu, how long has it been since you washed your car? It smells weird?”
“What weird smell?” Long Xinyu, who was in front of him, didn’t know what Wenren Ying was talking about. He thought his friend was going to tease him again, so he walked over to say, where is there a weird smell, it’s Wenren Ying’s nose that has a problem. But when he got close to the rear of the car, he found that there was indeed a fishy smell, as if it was coming from the trunk. Long Xinyu opened the trunk with the key in confusion. Li Guang, who was behind him, also walked over and glanced into his trunk—
Long Xinyu: “Fuck!”
Li Guang: “You fuck!”
Wenren Ying: “Wow – vomit – vomit -!”
Three men, two cursed, and Wenren Ying, who had a slight cleanliness obsession, vomited aside before he could curse.
In the trunk of Long Xinyu’s car, there was a man curled up with a bloody head. The man’s head was already deformed, and blood mixed with brain matter flowed all over the trunk. The weather was hot, and with the opening of the trunk, the double impact on the visual and olfactory senses made the three big men unable to bear it!
