Chapter 758: Chapter 0758: Networking Cocktail Party

"That’s too much, isn’t it?"

Chen Cang’s mouth twitched, and he analyzed with little confidence, "Even if they had four minutes together, a conversation takes time, right? Taking off clothes, putting on clothes, all that takes time, doesn’t it? Even if there was no foreplay... it’s actually possible that it ended before it even began."

"Are you saying Tang Ming is sick?"

Liu Mengting’s face darkened again.

"Very likely, ah!"

Chen Cang and Li Xiaoli nodded earnestly.

"That’s so pitiful."

Liu Mengting shook her head with furrowed brows, already seeing it not as an issue of Tang Ming and Xia Wei’er messing around, but a sad story of a man with a physical defect.

"Indeed pitiful, but I’m better off, I’m a pure girl, way stronger than Tang Ming, that pretended man."

Chen Cang shivered and shook his head with a sympathetic face.

"No way, how could Brother Tang Ming be inadequate, we must find a way to help him, ah!"

Li Xiaoli cried out anxiously, "When we get back home, we must help Brother Tang Ming recuperate. We can’t let him feel inferior because of this, ah!"

"No wonder Xiaoli previously offered herself to him and got rejected, it turned out to be because he was impotent and simply couldn’t do that."

Liu Mengting had a sudden realization, "Maybe he was already done at that time, of course, he couldn’t respond."

"Right, right, look at Brother Tang Ming, besides us, he has several other beautiful women around him, but it seems like he has never had anything happen with anyone, there’s definitely a problem, ah!"

Li Xiaoli nodded in agreement as well.

"What are you talking about?"

Just then, Xia Wei’er, who had placed the Poison Bomb, returned to the living room and asked curiously.

"Nothing!" The three of them responded in unison.

"We were saying, everyone’s waiting for you to start the game, why haven’t you come out yet, ah."

Li Xiaoli deftly changed the subject.

"Sorry, sorry, I’ll be right there."

Xia Wei’er immediately took out her phone and started to connect to the internet.

While Liu Mengting and the others played the game, from time to time, they looked at Xia Wei’er with sympathetic eyes. If Tang Ming’s illness couldn’t be cured, wouldn’t Xia Wei’er have to live like a widow for the rest of her life?

The Sun Family’s power in the provincial city was not weak. Organized and planned by them, the matchmaking banquet hosted in the name of the Li Family officially started the next day.

By 10 am, guests had started to arrive one after another at the largest banquet hall of the Blue Sky Hotel.

The banquet was held in the format of a Western social event. The guests included not only young bachelors who came hoping for a chance at love but also many socialites and married women. Some came fishing for a wealthy husband, others to expand their social circles. The moment the banquet began, the scene was buzzing with activity.

With the Li Family itself being an overseas power and very familiar with foreign high society’s etiquette and culture, the tone of the banquet was extremely refined.

Men wore suits, women wore gowns, all were polite, greeting others with smiling faces.

According to the banquet’s schedule, it would start receiving guests at 10 o’clock, Li Wenxuan of the Li Family would make her official appearance at 11 o’clock, and then the event would allow for free socializing and interaction, continuing until the afternoon, ending when guests left on their own accord.

After getting up in the morning, Liu Mengting and her two friends meticulously dressed up and headed to the banquet hall hand in hand, looking to join the fun.

Since Tang Ming had to pretend to be Li Wenxuan’s boyfriend, he had to coordinate his movements with hers and wait until the grand finale to make an appearance together.

Chen Cang had entered into a closed-door state the night before and didn’t have time to accompany Liu Mengting and the others.

Upon entering the party scene, Li Xiaoli couldn’t help but exclaim, "Wow, this Sky Hotel’s party is much more luxurious than Jun Tianhao Hotel’s parties."

"The style is indeed that of a very formal Western party, it seems the host has done deep research into Western culture."

Liu Mengting also nodded repeatedly, expressing her thoughts, "I’ve only ever seen parties of this scale and style on television."

"Indeed very high-end."

Xia Wei’er continuously nodded, her experience slightly less than Liu Mengting’s. For Xia Wei’er, the places that even Liu Mengting found surprising were downright shocking.

"Hey, let’s not talk about these boring issues, let’s go find some tasty treats."

After scanning the area a few times, Li Xiaoli immediately pulled Liu Mengting and Xia Wei’er towards the pastry section, where treats made by internationally renowned chefs were on display, tempting enough to make anyone drool.

By now, quite a few guests had arrived, with men and women chatting happily while holding wineglasses. Most of the men present today were single, and as for the women, apart from those accompanying their men, most attended with the intention of seduction.

Sun Family’s matchmaking party deliberately invited many socialites and stars to set the mood since they knew the event would likely have more men than women, leading to an imbalance. And among these women was no shortage of those with ulterior motives, social climbers, and minor celebrities.

Just now, a flamboyantly dressed third-tier actress had accompanied a young nobleman to the restroom, and something too indecent for words had taken place.

Although there were many women at the venue, the presence and looks of Liu Mengting and her friends were quite distinctive. Even a single one of them stood out among the crowd. Now, the three of them together had become a beautiful highlight of the party.

However, they had no interest in networking and were instead unable to resist the assortment of delicious cakes; they showed a dismissive attitude toward any men who tried to strike up a conversation.

"Three beauties, overshadowing everyone here yet not approachable, might I ask for the honor of your company over a drink?"

As Li Xiaoli was drooling over a cake, getting ready to indulge, a sudden voice rang out behind her. Following that, a large hand reached out directly toward Li Xiaoli’s behind.

"Xiaoli, be careful!"

Liu Mengting cried out in alarm, quickly pulling Li Xiaoli to the side and avoiding the unsolicited touch.

"Who are you? How dare you publicly behave like a hooligan?"

Xia Wei’er stepped in front of Li Xiaoli and Liu Mengting, looking disdainfully at a young man wearing gold-rimmed glasses.

"What’s going on, what’s going on?"

Li Xiaoli, who had almost been taken advantage of, looked around bewildered.

"That pervert was about to touch your butt."

Liu Mengting explained, her face showing aftershock.

"What?"

Li Xiaoli became instantly furious, glaring at the man and shouting, "You filthy scoundrel, how can you be so shameless?"

"Haha! Quite interesting."

The young man, who hadn’t succeeded in his advance, flashed a hint of annoyed amusement, withdrew his hand, and holding his wine glass said, "We all know why everyone is here. For me, Qi Bikou, to take an interest in you is your good fortune. Try not to sour the mood so unpleasantly."
