Chapter 500 - Young Master Murong's Appearance
At the beginning, they were somewhat strangers to each other, but as young people are adept at conversation, it didn't take long for them to become acquainted.
Each of the three girls was unique in her own way.
One girl had shoulder-length hair and was dressed in a flowing blue gown; her name was Lee Kemeng.
The girl in the center sported short hair and a more androgynous look, with a lady's cigarette in hand. She went by the name Zhang Mengyuan.
The final girl was strikingly beautiful, slightly plump, yet with a balanced figure. She was called Zhou Yimeng.
Interestingly, the name of each girl contained the same character.
“Yueyue, did your dad really push you into a blind date? What does the guy look like? Is he handsome?”
“Should you be talking about this in front of Su Ming?”
“Did you guys hear about the wealthy heir from Eastsea? I don't know his first name, but his last name is Su. Su Ming, he shares your surname. Do you know him?”
“Yeah, I've heard about him too. He's incredibly handsome and loaded. Rumor has it, he owns a fleet of sports cars.”
“Indeed, I've seen his videos online. Although I couldn't get a clear view of his face, he was driving three different sports cars. The least expensive one was priced between thirty to forty million yuan, and the most expensive was over a hundred million.”
“It's such a shame we can't meet him. If I could just see him, I'd latch onto his leg and beg him to take me in. I wouldn't need to be his girlfriend; I'd be content as his lover.”
The three beauties sighed and shook their heads in unison.
Su Ming was momentarily taken aback.

He was particularly shocked when he heard their declarations of affection for the man.
Turning his head to glance at Hsu Chenyue, Su Ming noticed her expression was loaded with meaning, prompting him to reflexively pat his forehead.
He was lucky the girls hadn't recognized him; otherwise, he'd be facing a heap of trouble.
They were completely unaware that Young Master Su was seated right beside them.
All Su Ming could do was shake his head and sigh.
Being of similar ages, they all got along harmoniously.
While playing some drinking games, the three girls and Hsu Chenyue were all slightly tipsy. Yet, they walked without any noticeable issues, just a touch of dizziness. Su Ming, on the other hand, was remarkably sober. He was not only alert but also sensed that something was amiss. During the game, the girls had repeatedly cheated, coaxing Hsu Chenyue to drink more than her fair share. It seemed they were intent on getting her drunk. Thankfully, Hsu Chenyue could hold her liquor, and no problems arose. Su Ming chose to remain silent about it.
At that moment, Zhang Mengyuan announced she needed to use the restroom and stood up. She was gone for a good five or six minutes before returning with a slightly off expression, which she quickly managed to mask. Su Ming's brow furrowed; the evening's events were indeed peculiar.
“You all keep playing; I need to use the restroom as well,” Su Ming said, rising and heading out the door. On his way, he spotted a familiar figure. It was Wang Hu, the Big Brother from the previous night. Wang Hu glared at Su Ming, asking aggressively, “What are you looking at?” Su Ming was taken aback. Didn't Wang Hu recognize him? He hadn't expected the brick incident to have such lasting effects. Could Wang Hu have amnesia?
Without drawing attention, Su Ming headed to the restroom. By the time he returned, Wang Hu had vanished. Instead of rejoining the group, Su Ming meandered through the area. Soon enough, he located Wang Hu—or rather, the two men who had been sprawled out on the street with him. They were pacing outside a private room, clearly guarding the place where Wang Hu was likely inside.
Reflecting on Zhang Mengyuan's earlier behavior, Su Ming decided it was prudent to stay vigilant. He strolled past the two men without a word and settled onto a sofa in the main hall. From his pocket, he retrieved a key ring, which, aside from a brick, also held a listening device.
Su Ming activated the listening device and zeroed in on his target.
Almost immediately, he caught the conversation happening inside the room.
A smile crept onto Su Ming's face. There it was—the issue he was looking for.
After a bit, Su Ming stowed the equipment and returned to the private room.
“Why did it take you so long to come back?”
By now, Hsu Chenyue had become slightly tipsy. Seeing Su Ming, she greeted him with a smile and teased, “I was beginning to think you'd fallen into the toilet.”
“I was just dealing with a bit of an upset stomach,” Su Ming explained, taking a seat.
No sooner had he settled in than someone pushed the private room door open from the outside.
Su Ming glanced up, spotting a man he didn't recognize.
“Murong Tian?”
Hsu Chenyue, on the other hand, knew the man. Her brow furrowed and her demeanor quickly turned icy upon his arrival.
In stark contrast to Hsu Chenyue's reaction, the other three women in the room stood up and enthusiastically greeted the newcomer.
“I never expected to see Young Master Murong here.”
“Young Master Murong, what brings you here?”
“Young Master Murong…”
Clearly, Murong Tian wasn't focused on the trio of women. He briefly acknowledged them before approaching Hsu Chenyue with a congenial smile. “Miss Hsu, I'm surprised to find you here as well. I'm here entertaining some clients with karaoke. As I was passing by, I noticed you. I've heard it's your birthday tonight, so I just had to come in and wish you a happy birthday. I hope you're not upset?”
Hsu Chenyue had been interacting with Murong Tian for quite some time. She was well aware of his true intentions. He was after her and the martial arts dojo she was associated with. Her brother's affairs were also deeply entangled with him.
Every one of his motives repulsed Hsu Chenyue.
Yet, it was her birthday, and he had merely come to extend his birthday wishes, so she refrained from sending him away.
With a neutral tone, Hsu Chenyue responded, “Young Master Murong, if your visit today is solely to wish me a happy birthday, then you're certainly welcome.”
”Of course,” Murong Tian said with a smile, his expression unchanging. “Miss Hsu, rest assured. Today, I simply wished you a happy birthday. I won't bring up anything else.”
”Alright then,” Hsu Chenyue replied, nodding in response.
”And who might this gentleman be?” Murong Tian inquired, his attention shifting to Su Ming after he had finished greeting Hsu Chenyue. He had noticed Su Ming seated next to her upon entering and couldn't help but feel a pang of jealousy.
