Yu Sheng, who had been hit, fully recovered within just two days.
Because he found something even more fun.
Shen Weixun informed Nian Nian and him that Yu Qiu was going to take Xu Nuannuan to a fancy dinner party.
Although it was called a party, it was more like a class reunion.
Only the younger - generation classmates of Yu Qiu's group were attending.
All those who had bullied Xu Nuannuan back then were there.
Xu Nuannuan was going as Yu Qiu's date. The female classmate who had once had a crush on Yu Qiu still hadn't given up on him. There was bound to be quite a show.
Shen Weixun used his connections to get three invitations.
When he asked, no one dared to refuse.
Shen Weixun didn't take Nian Nian to get any elaborate styling.
Nian Nian had never liked such fussy things.
Coincidentally, Nian Nian's Taoist robe had been mended and returned. So the two of them wore Taoist robes, looking like a well - matched brother - sister duo.
In contrast, Yu Sheng, wearing a blue suit, looked out of place.
"You... Why are you dressed like this?!"
Yu Sheng was completely dumbfounded when he saw their outfits.
He felt so out of place.
"Huh? What's wrong?"
Nian Nian had several pieces of mung bean cake stuffed in her mouth. Her cheeks were puffed out, constantly chewing. She looked like a little hamster storing food.
She was incredibly cute.
Shen Weixun smiled and took out a handkerchief, gently wiping away the crumbs on her face.
Seeing their interaction, Yu Sheng felt even more heart - clogged.
Jealousy!
He was insanely jealous!
"It's a formal occasion after all. Isn't it a bit inappropriate for you to dress so simply?"
"Simple?"
Nian Nian blinked in confusion. Back at the Taoist temple, when the master received invitations to weddings, he always told them to wear Taoist robes.
The master said those were all important occasions. Today they were just going to watch the fun. Wasn't this kind of dressing good enough?
Yu Sheng opened his mouth, but finally swallowed back what he wanted to say.
He couldn't very well say that he was jealous because Nian Nian and Shen Weixun looked more like siblings, could he?
That would be so unseemly.
No! He definitely couldn't do that!
"The party is about to start. Get in the car."
Shen Weixun saw through his little thoughts at a glance. He raised his eyebrows provocatively, then picked up Nian Nian and got into the back seat of the car.
He left the front passenger seat for Yu Sheng.
Now he didn't even have a chance to get close to Nian Nian.
Through the rear - view mirror, seeing the affectionate scene of the two master and apprentice siblings behind, Yu Sheng almost gritted his back teeth.
Finally, fifteen minutes later, they arrived at the party venue.
It was an open - air garden, a place specifically for the young masters and ladies of wealthy families to hold parties.
There were special bodyguards guarding the entrance. People without invitations were not allowed to enter.
When the bodyguard saw Nian Nian and Shen Weixun's strange outfits, he frowned.
He didn't even ask them to show their invitations. He just waved them away like beggars, saying, "We don't need fortune - tellers here. Go away, go away."
Shen Weixun calmly took out his invitation and handed it to the bodyguard.
But the other party didn't even seem to want to take it. He waved his hand again, saying, "No, you can't enter even if you're wearing formal clothes. The invitation is useless. You'd better leave quickly, or don't blame us for using force."
"Okay."
Shen Weixun nodded indifferently. Then he pointed at the bodyguard and said to the little ball in his arms, "See, this is what we call 'bullying others on the strength of one's powerful connections' and 'judging people by their appearance'."
"Okay! I remember!"
Nian Nian was really learning seriously. She even widened her eyes, ready to carefully observe the bodyguard in front of her.
She wanted to deeply engrave these two newly - learned words in her mind and understand their meanings.
Being scolded like this to his face, the bodyguard's face immediately turned black. He rolled up his sleeves and was about to use force on them.
But his out - stretched hand didn't even touch Shen Weixun.
Shen Weixun just casually took two steps back and dodged the bodyguard's attack.
The bodyguard even staggered forward a few steps because he rushed out too fast and almost fell to the ground.
"You!"
The bodyguard gritted his teeth and turned around, clenching his fists.
Shen Weixun didn't even look at him. He just took out his phone and dialed a number.
After the other party answered, he only said four words: "Come and pick me up at the entrance."
After the short phone call, the bodyguard suddenly got scared.
At this moment, he finally calmed down and realized that Shen Weixun had an extraordinary air about him. He didn't look like a swindler who came to the party for free food.
But their outfits were too simple.
He really couldn't figure out for a moment whether Shen Weixun was trying to sneak into the party or a legitimate guest.
"Which family are you from?"
"You didn't even look at the invitation when I gave it to you. It's all written on it. I don't like people who bully others on the strength of their powerful connections. Today might be your last day at work."
Shen Weixun sneered disdainfully.
He didn't discriminate against any profession, but he equally disdained everyone who bullied others on the strength of their powerful connections.
His words about getting the bodyguard fired really scared the man.
This was a good job, and the bodyguard didn't want to lose it at all.
Between face and money, he quickly chose the latter.
Better safe than sorry. If Shen Weixun really had a background, he might have offended him for good because of this little incident.
Thud!
The bodyguard knelt down unexpectedly.
Shen Weixun quickly stepped aside to avoid him.
"I'm sorry. I was reckless just now. Please forgive me!"
Moral coercion?!
What a disgusting move.
He was a grown man in his twenties, kneeling in front of two kids. With so many people around watching, people who didn't know might think they were the wrongdoers.
Sure enough, his move attracted the attention of many people around. Those who were picking someone up or just standing around at the entrance all looked over.
There was curiosity in their eyes, as well as disdain for Shen Weixun.
"Fine, then you can just keep kneeling."
Shen Weixun didn't accept any moral coercion.
Especially from a bodyguard like this.
Originally, he planned to let it go if the bodyguard apologized sincerely.
After all, life was not easy for anyone, and this wasn't a big deal.
But his kneeling made them the target of public criticism.
He could not care, but Nian Nian couldn't.
The three of them were together, and people would subconsciously think that Nian Nian was as "heartless as the rich" as he was.
His little junior sister must stay clean and innocent.
Why should she be slandered like this?
"Yu Niannian? Yu Sheng? Why are you here? Who's this guy?"
A sudden voice from not far away broke the awkward situation.
The three of them all turned their heads and saw Yu Qiu, dressed in a neat suit, standing not far from them.
Beside him was Xu Nuannuan, dressed up and looking elegant.
