【New Red Mansion】Perfect World

In the Creative Park on Banjieta Road, neon lights are bright and people are surging. Luxury cars and supercars can be seen everywhere.

An online car-hailing service stopped not far from the gate, and Xiangyun took Pin'er out of the car. The two girls had high buns on their heads, like a pair of fashionable twin sisters.

After getting off the car, Xiangyun took off her coat, which she had put on to hide her identity. She only wore a backless bellyband and exaggerated oversized flared jeans.

Pin'er was dressed conservatively, with a short T-shirt that Xiangyun tied at her ribs, revealing her beautiful belly button and waistline, and paired with a pair of parachute pants.

Pin'er felt uncomfortable all over and pulled the edge of her T-shirt as she walked:

"Wouldn't this be too revealing?"

Xiangyun quickly grabbed her busy little hands:

"You'll see in a moment. You're the most conservatively dressed. The girls inside are all wearing very cool clothes. This is not a feudal society anymore."

Sure enough, the bar was full of enthusiasm, with electronic music playing everywhere. Girls in scantily clad clothes could be seen everywhere, including some wearing bikinis with jeans.

Pin'er felt that her eyes were too busy as there were beautiful girls and handsome guys everywhere.

Xiangyun took her to two seats at the bar, ordered two cocktails, and paid with WeChat.

Soon the performance began, and a female singer sat quietly on a chair on the stage and sang a very lyrical slow song.

"Is she the female singer you like?" Pin'er leaned close to Xiangyun's ear and asked her.

"The one I like is called TINA. She is a little famous now. But she has a stake in this bar. So every time she releases a new song, she will perform here. This is called: promoting the song. Most of the people who come here are her fans."

Pin'er slowly understood what Xiangyun said. When she came in just now, she saw a lot of posters at the door. It is said that to come in, you must first book a ticket online. Pin'er is concerned about the business opportunities here.

The singers on the stage sang very well. Since she came in, Pin'er has been attracted by all the new things. People in this world will worship singers and stars crazily. They don't think they are actors. Even those who sing operas are respected as teachers and artists.

After singing two slow songs, the stage lights began to shine. The strong lights were like daylight, so bright that Pin'er could hardly open her eyes. A group of dancers ran out from the high platform in the center of the stage, dancing neatly and fashionably. In the center was a girl with heavy makeup. Her golden hair fluttered as she danced. She was wearing a black tube top jumpsuit with lace. She wore a sparkling diamond choker around her neck, and her long gloves were also inlaid with diamonds.

After a dance, TINA adjusted her headset and began to sing and dance. Everyone in the bar began to dance to the music, screaming and shouting, almost bursting the eardrums.

Pin'er felt her heart beating wildly from the beginning, Xiangyun took her hand and taught her to shake her body. Pin'er didn't dare to twist too much, just nodded gently, imitating Xiangyun's behavior.

The music became louder and louder, and TINA's singing became more and more infectious. Pin'er gradually let go of her restraints and enjoyed the happiness of the moment.

Li family dinner. On the huge dining table, Madam Li sat at the main seat, with Li Shuirong sitting on her right. Opposite Shuirong, or on Madam Li's left, sat Li Hanlan, the eldest grandson of the Li family. Next to him sat an elegant woman, the protagonist of this dinner, Li Hanlan's marriage partner Ye Shuyan. Next to Shuirong sat his second brother Li Haoze.

Madam Li spoke amiably:

"Shuyan, don't be shy when you come to our house. Try our dishes and see if they suit your taste."

Ye Shuyan was dressed in a fitted white dress, with her hair neatly tied up behind her head. She wore a pair of gold-rimmed glasses on her ordinary face. She elegantly picked up the food and put it on the plate in front of her, then changed to short chopsticks. After taking a bite, she nodded slowly.

"Is this the chef of the state banquet table?" Ye Shuyan swallowed the food in his mouth slowly before answering Madam Li.

Madam Li nodded and told her to eat more vegetables. The atmosphere at the dinner party was harmonious on the surface, but everyone had their own thoughts.

Li Hanlan hadn't been home for more than a month. He looked cold and had a cold heart, but he was different towards Madam Li. He only smiled when answering questions from grandma, and occasionally served food to grandma. As for Ye Shuyan beside him, he didn't even glance at her.

What's interesting is Ye Shuyan. She saw everything clearly. She also knew that she was not in Li Hanlan's eyes. But she didn't even show a trace of dissatisfaction. It seemed that she didn't care about anything. She only saw Madam Li and only talked to Madam Li.

Li Haoze, who was beside Shui Rong, was even more interesting. He was on pins and needles at the moment. He had already begun to get impatient with this boring dinner. He didn't even move his chopsticks, but just picked up the red wine glass in front of him and drank it one sip after another.

Shui Rong ate elegantly, but his attention was always on his cell phone. However, the cell phone, which was so flattering, was not keeping up with the flow and had not rung for a long time.

After dinner, Ye Shuyan drank tea and chatted with Madam Li in the tea room, while Shui Rong was called to the study by his eldest brother Li Hanlan.

Li Hanlan handed a file bag to Li Shuirong.

"Have you made up your mind? You're not going abroad? You can choose any school you want to go to. Why do you want to repeat your studies?"

Shui Rong looked down at the document, frowned slightly, then looked up at his elder brother:

"Not only will I not go abroad, I may not enter politics or business. I plan to study art."

Li Hanlan immediately raised his eyes to look at Shui Rong, and after a long while he asked:

"Is your rebellious period delayed?"

Shui Rong was not angry, he just looked at his elder brother firmly:

"It's enough for the Li family to have such outstanding people like you and my second brother. As for me, I don't want to make a career. I just want to follow my heart."

Li Hanlan suppressed his anger and adopted a negotiating attitude:

"I'll only give you five years, just until you graduate from college. I'll take care of your affairs by then."

Shui Rong did not answer and thought: It's as if you can control me?

The two exchanged glances, and in an instant, a flash of lightning struck. It was as if they were engaging in a battle of wills.

Shui Rong's cell phone rang at this time, and a series of messages reminded him.

He immediately smiled, unlocked his phone, and opened WeChat. But it was not a message from Pin'er. She hadn't replied to the message he sent her an hour ago.

When I took another look, I saw six picture messages from Jiang Yuhan. I was about to not read or reply, but then the seventh text message came in: I saw Lin Daiyu and her friend at X Club.

Shui Rong immediately opened the chat window and quickly clicked on the picture. Although the lighting was a little dim, Jiang Yuhan was able to take a clear picture of Pin'er and Xiangyun.
