"What kind of gathering? Are you taking me to meet your friends?"

Lori asked with a face full of anticipation.

Though she had said before.

She didn't ask for Chen Feng to acknowledge her, as long as she could stay by his side.

But in truth, in her heart, she really hoped Chen Feng would acknowledge her.

For example, by taking her to meet his family and friends.

This way, she would feel like she's truly becoming Chen Feng's girlfriend.

Seeing the look of expectation on Lori's face, Chen Feng slightly guessed some of her thoughts, smiled helplessly, and said, "That's not it!"

"Oh, alright then!"

Lori lowered her head in slight disappointment.

Seeing this, Chen Feng reached out to rub Lori's little head and laughed, "Don't worry, I'll let you meet my friends, including my family, but not now. I need to handle what's in front of me first."

"Really? You have to keep your word!"

Upon hearing this, Lori perked up again, pouting as she spoke.

"Hmm!"

Chen Feng nodded with a smile and then said, "But tonight's gathering is quite important as well, so I'm taking you with me to help me hold the fort!"

"Huh? You need me to help hold the fort!"

Lori was stunned for a moment, then laughed and asked.

"Of course! With a beauty like you standing there, they'll definitely be stunned instantly!"

Chen Feng joked with a smile.

"You sweet talker!"

Lori gave Chen Feng a playful glare, then nodded with a smile, "Alright, seeing how sincere you are, I'll accompany you tonight!"

Upon hearing this, Chen Feng also smiled slightly.

The reason he wanted Lori to accompany him.

Was not for the reason he mentioned, needing Lori to hold the fort or anything.

There was no need for that at all.

He just wanted Lori to be by his side so he could see her all the time.

And Lori could also go out for a walk and get some fresh air.

Otherwise, she'd be extremely bored at home alone.

And that was Chen Feng's real purpose...

After a short nap.

Seeing that it was about time.

Chen Feng and Lori got up to shower and changed into some clothes before heading out together.

And it would still take a certain amount of time to get from Bixiang Garden to the Jiangnan Clubhouse.

So, Chen Feng drove, carrying Lori, heading straight for the Jiangnan Clubhouse without making any other stops...

Jiangnan Clubhouse.

As one of the most upscale clubs in Coastal.

Everyone who came in and out was a successful person.

With its elegant environment, many wealthy people choose to talk business here.

Of course, being a clubhouse means its entertainment facilities are naturally quite comprehensive.

The service quality is excellent without a doubt, much loved by the high society.

So at night, the front of Jiangnan Clubhouse is full of luxury cars.

After all, the consumption standard here is not something an average person can afford.

Room 365 on the third floor of the clubhouse.

As one of the highest-standard rooms in the clubhouse, the environment inside was, of course, extraordinarily luxurious, as splendid as an Imperial Palace.

At the moment, the sofa in the room was already filled with people.

These were all the top executives from various companies under the Mu Family.

There were entertainment companies, real estate companies, jewelry companies, and of course, catering companies.

For example, Liao Huashan, he was the chief of a catering company, was among them.

Besides these company heads, the leaders of former forces dependent on the Mu Family also came.

There were ones from the Tianyun Association, Fuyue Gang, and even some elders from the Qinghua Association were among them.

For instance, Zhang Hui and his father Zhang Dachuan.

Aside from these people, those forces that had frequent interactions with the Mu Family also sent representatives.

In short, the remaining forces of the Mu Family were all gathered here.

The Mu Family, in its heyday at Coastal, was formidable and unstoppable.

Naturally, their success wasn't without the support of these people.

To use a more appropriate analogy.

The Mu Family was like a towering tree.

And the direct descendants of the Mu Family were the main trunk of this tree!

As for these companies and forces, they were the branches and leaves of the tree.

It was precisely this complete system that formed the mighty, invincible Mu Family!

Now, these people, all of whom had considerable prestige in Coastal, were gathered together.

They had all been invited by Mu Dongcheng.

At this moment, Mu Dongcheng was sitting right in the middle of these people.

But he wasn't speaking.

Because today's main guest was not him, but Chen Feng.

"I say, Dongcheng, when is Mr. Chen actually coming?"

One of the real estate company bosses asked Mu Dongcheng in confusion.

"Yes, we agreed on meeting at eight. It's half-past eight now, and he still hasn't come. I think he really doesn't care at all!"

Another company boss chimed in.

"Forget it, I've already accepted the Liu Family's invitation. In a few days, my gang will be one of the Liu Family's subordinate forces. It doesn't matter if I meet this Chen Feng or not, I'm leaving. Goodbye everyone!"

The leader of the Fuyue Gang said this as he rose directly from the sofa, ready to leave.

Seeing this, everyone else immediately stood up from the sofa one by one.

"My company is about to join the Li Family. Why should I give this Chen Feng face? I'm out of here!"

"That's right, speaking of it, he destroyed our Mu Family, which makes him our enemy. We're not seeking revenge, but waiting to see him? Forget it, let's all go!"

"Yes, yes, let's go! We'll soon be under the Liu Family's protection. No matter how strong Chen Feng is, with the Liu Family backing me, should I still fear him?"

…

Everyone spoke one after another, then prepared to leave with the leader of the Fuyue Gang.

Only Liao Huashan and Zhang Hui with his father Zhang Dachuan remained sitting on the sofa.

Because they had already agreed with Chen Feng to join the Chen Family, naturally they wouldn't change their mind.

But aside from the three of them, the others were leaving.

Seeing this, Mu Dongcheng frowned, quickly stood up, and said to the crowd, "Everyone, please wait a moment!"

"Wait? Wait for what? I've been here since seven-thirty, waiting until now. Do you still want me to wait? No more waiting!"

The leader of the Fuyue Gang said with an impatient face.

"Exactly, what do you take us for? Setting a meeting then showing up late? I'm telling you, Mu Dongcheng, we came because of you, giving you face for being part of the former Mu Family, that's why we're here today. But what's Chen Feng's attitude towards us? He doesn't take us seriously, so there's nothing more to talk about!"

An entertainment company's head said.

"Then I ask all of you, for my sake, to wait a bit longer, okay?"

Mu Dongcheng took a deep breath, holding his patience as he spoke.

"Yes, everyone, since we're already here, let's just wait patiently a little while longer, who knows, Mr. Chen might be arriving soon!"

Liao Huashan also helped to say.
