The next day.

During lunch, Sun Xue took the initiative to talk about returning to Demon City.

"Bach, I have to go back to Magic City tonight. Tomorrow is my godmother's birthday, and she invited me to her birthday party."

Bach stopped eating and asked in surprise, "You have a godmother in Demon City? Why haven't I heard you talk about this?"

Sun Xue said happily, "The one I just recognized is Mr. Lu's mother."

Bach cried out in astonishment, "What did you say? You acknowledge Mr. Lu's mother as your godmother?"

"Yes, I went to her house last night and then I admitted it... Bach, you know? I was so excited that I almost couldn't sleep last night. I didn't expect it myself."

"You proposed it?"

Sun Xue said complacently, "No, it was Mother Lu who took the initiative to propose it. You know, with a family as big as theirs, how could I dare to have such a luxury?"

Bach was so shocked that he shook his head. "Sun Xue, according to what you Chinese people say, you are so lucky. Mr. Lu and his family are from a big family. Mr. Lu's mother took the initiative to recognize you as her goddaughter. That is something that many people dream of. You are going to be very successful!"

Bach really didn't expect that Mr. Lu's mother would take the initiative to recognize Sun Xue as her goddaughter. A family like that wouldn't just casually recognize a goddaughter. The other party had to be very outstanding to make Mr. Lu's mother take the initiative to propose such an idea...

Of course, he thought Sun Xue was very outstanding, but this matter was still a little beyond his expectations.

Sun Xue naturally understood what Bach meant. She joked, "Bach, well, it seems that I am really going to be very successful. I have to hold on to my godfather and godmother's thighs in the future."

"Bach, you don't understand. This family is really nice. This is the most successful and well-educated family I've ever seen. Although Mr. Lu's parents are famous people, they don't put on airs at all."

"Also, his family is really rich. They live in a large villa of several hundred square meters, with a garden of several hundred square meters. I heard from Mr. Lu that the decoration alone cost tens of millions. There are several servants in the house, as well as a top chef and a private doctor. They are truly a top wealthy family."

He does not mean that.

Bach frowned, "Sun Xue, why do you seem so excited when talking about Mr. Lu's family? Are you particularly eager for such a life?"

Sun Xue did not notice Bach's unhappy mood, she was still immersed in happiness.

"Of course, who doesn't want to live that kind of life? I work so hard, isn't it just to give myself and my family a good life in the future?"

Bach said in a serious tone, "Sun Xue, you don't have to work so hard to live a life like this. I have the ability to let you live it now."

Sun Xue was stunned and said with a smile, "Bach, stop joking."

"Sun Xue, I'm serious."

At this time, Sun Xue received a call on her cell phone. It was Xiao Zhang from the company.

After answering the phone, Sun Xue asked, "Xiao Zhang, what's up?"

"Boss Sun, today the staff of the Quancheng People's Court came to the company to deliver a subpoena."

"What subpoena?"

"Mr. Wu has sued you, and it's about the withdrawal of investment."

"What did you say?"

"I said our CEO Sun is on a business trip."

"Well, don't worry about it. I understand."

Xiao Zhang asked worriedly, "Mr. Sun, the staff's attitude is very bad. When are you going to come back?"

"It will be almost there, maybe in about a week."

After hanging up the phone, Sun Xue asked, "Bach, where were we just talking about?"

Bach asked abruptly, "Sun Xue, what do you think of Mr. Lu?"

Sun Xue blurted out without thinking, "It's not an exaggeration to describe him as perfect. He is handsome, successful in his career, kind-hearted, and well-mannered."

Sun Xue finished speaking and added, "It is our blessing to have such a partner. I heard from him that their family has a lot of businesses, has influence in many industries in China, and has a wide network of contacts. Cooperating with such a powerful company like them, our business will definitely reach a new level."

Bach replied calmly, "No, he is your brother now."

Sun Xue was very proud, "Bach, I didn't expect that happiness would come so suddenly."

A big hotel in Demon City.

The scene of Lu’s mother’s birthday party.

style!

Sun Xue attached great importance to this banquet and dressed up carefully for it.

Due to traffic jam, when Sun Xue arrived in a hurry, an embarrassing thing happened. Because she left in a hurry, she forgot to bring the invitation letter.

The security guard stopped her and said politely, "Hello, ma'am, could you please show me your invitation letter?"

Sun Xue greeted her with a smile, "Sorry, I left in a hurry and forgot to bring the invitation."

The security guard looked Sun Xue up and down, shook his head and said politely, "Sorry, you can't come in without an invitation."

Sun Xue pleaded shamelessly, "I really forgot to bring it. Please be flexible and let me in."

The security guard saw that Sun Xue was dressed in ordinary clothes and obviously didn't take her seriously. Then when he heard Sun Xue's foreign accent, his tone changed and he said with disdain:

"Ma'am, if everyone says the same thing as you, should I let them go? I've seen a lot of people who eat and drink for free these days, especially those from other places."

Hearing the security guard's sarcastic words, Sun Xue became angry. She could tell from the security guard's tone that he was a local.

It is said on the Internet that the locals of Magic City are self-righteous, have a natural sense of superiority, and are very xenophobic. It seems that this is absolutely true. Even the security guards have this attitude.

Sun Xue showed no sign of weakness and immediately responded:

"What do you mean? Who is eating and drinking for free? I am just an outsider. What's wrong with being an outsider? Without outsiders like us, can your Demon City become an international metropolis? What qualifications do you have to judge outsiders like this!"

The security guard got excited and said angrily:

"You can't enter, you can't enter. No one can enter without an invitation. I tell you, this is Madam Lu's birthday dinner. Do you know what Madam Lu's status is in Demon City? Not everyone can enter!"

Sun Xue snorted coldly, "I don't want to argue with you here, so I'll tell you, I'm Madam Lu's goddaughter, you should let me in, right?"

The security guard suddenly laughed. He looked at Sun Xue from head to toe, curled his lips and shook his head:

"You are so arrogant! I have never heard that Madam Lu has any goddaughter. As far as I know, there are many people who want to get close to Madam Lu, but this is the first time I have seen someone like you make up such a ridiculous excuse. It's really interesting!"

After the security guard said this, he was too lazy to pay any attention to Sun Xue. He left Sun Xue aside, changed his expression instantly, and greeted other guests with a smile on his face.

Sun Xue angrily took out her cell phone and immediately called Lu Tingfeng.

No one answered the phone.

Called again, still no answer.

Just at this moment, a familiar voice rang in her ears, "Hey, isn't this the great writer Sun?"

Sun Xue raised her head abruptly and called out subconsciously, "Zhao Wanru?"

Zhao Wanru held the arm of a woman and looked at Sun Xue with a smile.

The security guard saw the two of them, smiled and bowed, greeting them, "Mrs. Zhao, Miss Zhao, you are here, please come in."
