"You Tianyi is here! He has a longstanding grudge with Liu Zhenglong, so why would he come to Liu Zhenglong's celebration banquet?" Some people, upon seeing the scene outside, were somewhat unsure.

"Liu Zhenglong is on high alert; it seems the visitor has ill intentions!"

"Haha, old Liu Zhenglong is about to get his comeuppance, You Tianyi added a daughter last year, and Liu Zhenglong went there to create a scene, pretending to be drunk and disrupt the festivities, causing You Tianyi to lose face. Now that Liu Zhenglong's wife is pregnant, it's supposed to be a joyous occasion for everyone, and here You Tianyi is to stir things up again; there's going to be a good show today!"

You Tianyi is also a top-tier tycoon, on the same level as Liu Zhenglong. Both men are cunning and around the same age, working in the same industry, hence their fierce rivalry.

In Hong Kong, Macao, and Taiwan, there are two major real estate tycoons: Liu Zhenglong and You Tianyi. Nearly all the real estate there is monopolized by these two; both are thinking about annexing the other. Years of competition have deepened their enmity, making it almost irreconcilable.

Last year, You Tianyi had a daughter, and Liu Zhenglong went there to pretend to be drunk, causing You Tianyi to lose all dignity.

Today, on the grand occasion of Liu Zhenglong's celebration, You Tianyi also brought a large retinue to offer congratulations, clearly here to create a scene, turning the guests' surprise into delight, as they looked forward to the unfolding drama—they love watching these high-society showdowns.

"Liu Zhenglong, your wife is really showing now, isn't she?"

You Tianyi, draped in a black overcoat and followed by a group of smartly dressed individuals, carried an air of an underworld boss.

"You Tianyi, I don't recall sending you an invitation; what are you doing here?" Liu Zhenglong said sternly, clearly unwelcoming You Tianyi and his cronies.

"Zheng Long, you shouldn't talk like that. Your wife is expecting a child, how could I not come and offer my congratulations?"

You Tianyi draped an arm around Liu Zhenglong's shoulders, pretending they were on good terms.

"You Tianyi, don't try to mess with me or I'll fight you to the death!" Liu Zhenglong said coldly.

"Fight to the death?" You Tianyi laughed heartily, his expression growing colder. "Last year, when I added a daughter, you came and made a fool of yourself at my event. Considering dignity, I didn't snap at you then, but today I'll return the favor at your joyful banquet—I doubt you'll dare to take it to the death with me!"

"Alright, I was wrong last year; why don't you go home," Liu Zhenglong faltered. "Wait a few days, and I'll slaughter a pig and sheep and come over to apologize."

"Don't think you can deceive me by sending me away now, you just don't want me ruining your party!"

"I tell you, no matter how nicely you talk, even if you kneel and kowtow, I'm not leaving; I'm here to drink at your banquet!" You Tianyi declared.

"…" Liu Zhenglong's face stiffened.

However, Liu Zhenglong, despite his anger, couldn't afford to make a scene. With everyone at the banquet watching, and You Tianyi's retinue including notable figures from their circle, Liu Zhenglong couldn't afford to offend everyone all at once.

Besides, since Liu Zhenglong had disrupted You Tianyi's event last year, now that You Tianyi was returning the favor, Liu Zhenglong couldn't refuse without seeming the weaker.

"Visitors are guests; Brother You, please come inside and rest your feet," He Xihui said.

He Xihui stepped forward on behalf of her husband, inviting You Tianyi to the banquet without directly calling him by his name or titles like "Director You" or "Boss You," but rather simply "Brother." This was a clever move.

Liu Zhenglong and his wife were now being courteous, which would put You Tianyi in a bad light if he continued to be aggressive.

"Zheng Long, landing yourself such a wife, you've really struck it rich," You Tianyi looked at Liu Zhenglong and smiled enigmatically.

"Hehe, Brother You, please come in!"

Liu Zhenglong laughed heartily; He Xihui's maneuver was masterful, instantly lifting his spirits.

"Hahaha, then I'll wait inside for you. Finish up quickly and come over; I have much to talk to you about."

You Tianyi also laughed and finally walked into the hotel with a group of people, swaggering.

"Zheng Long, do you believe in karma?" He Xihui said.

"No," Liu Zhenglong shook his head.

"You used to be indulgent. We have been married for several years and haven't been able to have a child. If it wasn't for Ye Chen, we would still be worrying now. This is karma!"

"You messed up You Tianyi's wedding banquet last year, and today he came to mess up your event. This is also karma!" He Xihui said somewhat unhappily.

"Okay, I know I was wrong," Liu Zhenglong admitted without a second thought.

He Xihui was now pregnant, and she was the boss of the Liu Family. Even if Liu Zhenglong was a dragon, he had to coil up and obey his wife's orders.

"I'm pregnant now, you need to set an example for the child, commit fewer sins, understand?" He Xihui seriously admonished her husband.

"Haha, I know, I got it."

Facing He Xihui's stern tone, Liu Zhenglong wasn't angry at all; he was shamelessly trying to please his wife. Now, whenever he thought about his wife being pregnant, his heart was filled with happiness, and he couldn't help but smile foolishly.

"Why hasn't Ye Chen arrived yet? The weather is so unpredictable; it looks like it's about to snow," He Xihui said as she waited for Ye Chen and his group, feeling a bit cold without realizing it.

"It looks like it's going to snow," Liu Zhenglong noted He Xihui's slightly cold demeanor, inevitably feeling a bit uneasy. "What is Ye Chen doing? He promised to show up to support me, and he hasn't even arrived yet!"

Liu Zhenglong's tone was full of resentment. As a business magnate, a local bigwig, which of the social elites wouldn't scramble to attend his banquet?

Now, all the distinguished guests had already arrived, but Ye Chen was still nowhere to be seen, which disturbed Liu Zhenglong.

"I really can't stand you; think before you speak!"

"Ye Chen and Zhang Xinlan both live in Hong Kong, and we are hosting the banquet in Ao District. Even if they come by plane, they can't arrive immediately!" He Xihui said somewhat helplessly.

"Er, I actually overlooked that!" Liu Zhenglong smacked his forehead.

Ye Chen's residence, which Liu Zhenglong had visited once, was indeed very far from here; even by car, it would take hours.

"They've arrived!" He Xihui said.

"Huh, no way, they came in an RV?" Liu Zhenglong was stunned.

Ye Chen owned a Dream Level Rolls-Royce, which was the thing Liu Zhenglong envied the most. Yet on such an important occasion today, the guy didn't bring that fancy car, but just an RV?

"Hey, more guests have arrived!"

A white RV slowly drove in, attracting some guests' attention.

"Who is this person, attending such an event in just an RV!" The appearance of the RV drew disdain from a group of people.

"Oh my God, there are VIPs in that RV; Liu Zhenglong even ran over to open the door!"

A stir arose in the inner area, and through the French windows, the guests saw an exterior scene and felt somewhat incredulous.

Liu Zhenglong, like a little brother, ran over to open the door for the person in the RV.
