Chapter 112: Sister Yun! You Are My Biological Sister!
When Yun Zijin arrived at the bar, everyone else was already there. Seeing her, Su Mengyao ran over, exclaiming, "Zijin! You're finally here!" Then she gave her a bear hug.
Watching the overly familiar hug, Sheng Yang couldn't help but feel a twinge of jealousy. "Su Mengyao, enough. Don't take advantage of Sister Yun just because you're a girl," he complained.
Su Mengyao let go of Zijin and shot him an angry look. "Zijin and I are good sisters—what's wrong with hugging? Admit it, you're just jealous." Although she liked Sheng Yang, she cared more about her dear sister right now.
Zijin only smiled, used to these two bickering whenever they met. They seemed like a classic pair of quarreling lovers. "Stop arguing and show me around. Let me see what you've accomplished in all this time," she said, eager to check on her investment.
"Sister Yun, let me introduce you!" Li Yuexuan interjected. He'd been uneasy since that day he accidentally "flirted" with Zijin on the road. Seizing this chance to get closer, he stepped up, wanting to impress her.
Zijin glanced at Li Yuexuan, raising an eyebrow. Then she nodded. "Go ahead and show me around."
"Li Yuexuan, step aside!" Sheng Yang protested. "This bar belongs to me, so of course I should be the one to guide Sister Yun!"
Zijin didn't mind, so she followed them, listening to their introductions on how they'd decorated the bar and the small creative touches they'd added. Overall, it was more of a lounge-style bar, the ambiance leaning toward elegant rather than wild. Once construction finished, it would still need a while to air out before its trial opening, a date that nearly coincided with Zijin's school starting again.
"The opening should line up with the new semester. I'll bring my roommates to celebrate," Zijin said, quite interested in how it would all go.
"That's fantastic, Sister Yun! Your entire group's meals are on me," Sheng Yang promised.
"What about us? Old Sheng, don't ignore the rest of us," Fu Yang chimed in jealously.
Sheng Yang shrugged. "Tough luck. Sister Yun is the only other investor besides me. What are you guys?" Indeed, no one else had been willing to invest money in his bar, so it was just him and Zijin as shareholders. The others were merely friends of the bar's owner.
"Uh… we didn't dare provoke your brother's wrath, you know," Fu Yang mumbled. The group had good reasons for not investing.
"Right. That's why you won't get free meals," Sheng Yang said lightly. "Don't worry, I'll invite everyone anyway on opening day. You can all come support me."
While Li Yuexuan and the others felt slightly miffed, they grudgingly accepted it. "Anyway, we're gathered here today—why not find a spot to hang out?" Lu Yunfeng suggested. He'd been roped in as a secretary under Lu Yunque for half a month, so now he wanted to cut loose for an entire day.
"Sure. Where?" The bar was newly renovated, so it wasn't suitable to hang around too long.
"Fengxing Club," proposed Wu Zicheng. "We haven't been there in a while, and it'd be fun."
Zijin and Su Mengyao exchanged glances, both having no objections. "Alright," said Li Yuexuan, "I happen to be driving a Ferrari 488 today. If we end up racing, I can't say I'll be the best, but I won't be the worst either."
Zijin arched an eyebrow at him, recalling how, on the day she drove her Ferrari LaFerrari, this same guy had whistled at her on the road. Li Yuexuan noticed her glance and stiffened, remembering that embarrassing moment. He forced a silent, dry laugh, feeling he'd walked into a social landmine.
Su Mengyao sighed. "Ah, if I'd known we'd be going to Fengxing Club, I would've brought my brother's Porsche 918. I've got to plan better."
"You'll be fine. I'm driving a Shelby Tuatara. No chance of me losing," Yun Zijin remarked calmly. A hush fell. Mentioning a Shelby Tuatara made all the car enthusiasts perk up. Sheng Yang in particular looked ecstatic.
"Sister Yun! You are my biological sister! When we get there, can I drive it for a bit? I promise I'll be careful—I'd never scratch it," he pleaded. No boy who liked cars could resist a Shelby, but it usually cost so much that many people gave up before even trying to buy one.
Zijin nodded. "Sure." Su Mengyao, though not a huge sports car fan, also knew the Tuatara's renown. She gazed at Zijin, eyes shining. "Zijin, could I get one of your bodyguards to drive me over? I've never actually ridden in a Shelby."
Zijin glanced at her line of bodyguards, then nodded. "Of course. Lingqi." Hearing his name, Lingqi stepped out. Su Mengyao handed him the keys to her Porsche Cayenne. "Go ahead and drive; if it breaks, it's a good excuse to upgrade," Su Mengyao said breezily.
Lingqi accepted the keys in silence. Thus, fourteen people split into their respective cars. The roar of high-end engines filled the air, and they soon disappeared at the intersection near Sheng Yang's bar.
Fengxing Club.
The roars of their sports cars drew plenty of attention. Zijin's white Shelby Tuatara especially caused heads to turn, with onlookers pointing. "Is that a Tuatara? Damn… They drove something worth at least fifty million out here?"
"Who's inside? That's insane. Not scared of being robbed, apparently," someone muttered. Another recognized the group: "Look, it's Sheng family's young master… and that's Lu family's young master… I see the Fu family… and Li family's young master too… Wait, there's Su Mengyao from the Su family. Why is she with them?"
But the figure stepping out of the Tuatara was a girl unknown to most. "Whose daughter is that? I've never seen her," murmured a bystander. Others took note of the nanny car behind them, from which seven tall men emerged, each around six feet. "Am I the only one seeing that huge nanny car? That group of bodyguards is no joke," someone commented.
They all stared, speculating. Meanwhile, Zijin's group paid no mind, more interested in what kind of day they'd have at the club.
