"Then I'll have someone prepare the car to take you." The housekeeper hurriedly turned and went downstairs.
When Gu Lanshan walked out of the house, the car had already been started. The driver saw her approaching and opened the car door for her. Gu Lanshan got into the car, and the driver closed the door, got in, and asked, "Lady Shan, where would you like to go?"
"Golden Splendor."
The driver did not speak and drove quietly.
Gu Lanshan sat in the back, looking out the window.
Golden Splendor was the most upscale nightlife club in the city.
The drinks and ambiance were top-notch, the decor and facilities were top-notch, and the women were top-notch. Naturally, the prices were also top-notch.
And Golden Splendor was founded entirely by Sheng Shi.
Sheng Shi was a favored son of fortune.
From the moment he was born, the world around him revolved around him.
His grandfather was a highly decorated grand commander with numerous war medals.
His grandfather had six children, two boys and four girls.
Each one of them was an outstanding individual, extremely capable, and of high standing. Sheng Shi's married sisters had all married very well.
Thus, the entire Sheng Family appeared to outsiders as a true noble family.
However, there was a downside to the Sheng Family, as they had more females than males.
Sheng Shi's eldest uncle had three daughters, and Sheng Shi's father had five children, four of whom were girls.
Fortunately, Sheng Shi's four aunts had some spunk and gave Sheng Shi a few male cousins.
But daughters, no matter how loved, would eventually marry and take on another family's surname. For a family like the Shengs, having a direct bloodline heir was crucial, and the focus naturally fell on Sheng Shi, making him the key figure in continuing the Sheng Family bloodline.
To make the family appear larger, Sheng Shi's grandfather arranged all of his grandchildren by birth order. Sheng Shi was the youngest and ranked as twenty.
Hence, everyone in the family called him Shi'er.
But those cousins, regardless, were not direct lineage like Sheng Shi.
So, in Sheng Shi's generation, he became the sole heir of the Sheng Family's pure bloodline.
Thus, from birth, Sheng Shi could have everything he wanted, and everyone in the Sheng Family, old and young, revolved around him.
From birth, Sheng Shi was a favored son of fortune.
A favored son who received boundless love and attention.
He enjoyed every advantage his environment provided.
From birth, Sheng Shi was a Demon Lord of Mayhem. The children growing up with him in the compound dared not provoke him because he had many cousins and siblings.
So often, friends of Sheng Shi's father would drag their children to the house to complain.
At first, it was little boys, then later, little girls too.
It made Sheng Shi's father so angry that he wanted to punish him.
But Sheng Shi wasn't afraid, as he had his grandfather.
He was his grandfather's legitimate grandson, the apple of his grandfather's eye, his precious gem.
His grandfather was the head of the Sheng Family, and even Sheng Shi's uncles and father didn't dare to make a noise in front of him.
Therefore, whenever Sheng Shi got into trouble outside, he would find his grandfather. One word from his grandfather, and his father wouldn't dare utter a single complaint.
Thus, Sheng Shi grew up doing as he pleased.
By middle school, Sheng Shi had already learned to date early. At a young age, he drove sports cars around campus to show off, always with a different girl, sometimes even two.
Despite this, all the girls in school, and even from other schools, went crazy over him.
