Chapter 355 - 355: All Kinds of Beauties Gather

"I'm so pissed!"

The intimate moment Su Yanyun had been savoring was shattered by Cai Xiujuan at the door!

"I'm outta here." Jiang Xinghai rushed to an open section of the floor-to-ceiling window and leaped down.

"You!" Su Yanyun let out an involuntary shriek. She only started to relax when she remembered Jiang Xinghai was a Martial Arts practitioner. Still, she rushed over to the window.

Fortunately, Jiang Xinghai had already landed safely without incident.

Then, she yanked the door open. "Ms. Cai, what's your problem? Who told you Jiang Xinghai was in my office?"

"President Su, stark naked in the middle of the day. Were you taking a shower?" Cai Xiujuan's gaze fell upon the completely exposed Su Yanyun, her eyes filled with envy.

'What an incredible body!'

'Her skin is so soft and supple, it looks like it's bursting with moisture!'

"What's wrong with me showering in the middle of the day?" Su Yanyun said, her face flushed with anger.

Cai Xiujuan quickly pushed her way inside and shut the door behind her. "President Su, you should be more careful! What if someone saw you?"

With a sly chuckle, she began searching the entire room.

"Hey! Did I say you could do that?" Su Yanyun stomped her foot in frustration.

If they hadn't known each other for so long, and if Cai Xiujuan wasn't a long-time client, she would have slapped her across the face by now.

"So he's really not here. Looks like my source was mistaken, my mistake." After a quick scan of the room revealed no sign of Jiang Xinghai, Cai Xiujuan turned back with an apologetic look. "Sorry about that! If there's nothing else, I'll be on my way."

"You get back here!" Su Yanyun stomped her foot again.

"President Su, you're not actually mad about my little intrusion, are you?" Cai Xiujuan asked, looking awkward.

"Scrub my back before you leave," Su Yanyun said, pouting.

"I'd love to! Let me help you with that." Cai Xiujuan was surprisingly enthusiastic, immediately reaching out to help.

"Your skin is just amazing, dear. So tender and smooth, I'm almost afraid to touch it." Cai Xiujuan was truly envious of Su Yanyun's complexion and stunning figure, which was even better than her own had been in her youth.

"Of all the people to fall for, why did it have to be Jiang Xinghai?" Su Yanyun said, joining the conversation.

"What can I do? At my age, it's rare to find someone who truly makes my heart race. If it were just for... physical needs, I could settle for anyone. With my money, what man wouldn't fall at my feet? But for the rest of my life, I have to find someone I'm genuinely captivated by." Cai Xiujuan spoke with the wisdom of experience.

"You certainly know how to live," Su Yanyun said, the corners of her lips turning up in a slight smile.

'With enough money, you really can do whatever you want.'

'If you're lonely, you can just find a man for company. Money lets you pick and choose any type you like.'

'But finding someone to spend the rest of your life with? That's easier said than done.'

'Of course, Jiang Xinghai is a one-of-a-kind choice.'

'But Su Yanyun knew that with her sullied body, she could never be worthy of him.'

'So there was no point in Cai Xiujuan even dreaming about it.'

...

「Time passed in a flash, and soon it was five in the afternoon.」

「Star Mountain Villa.」

The villa, facing the sea with its back to a small mountain, was unequivocally the most prestigious hotel in all of Jizhou.

Several banquet tables were arranged in the estate's courtyard.

None of the arriving guests brought gifts. Instead, they brought as many people as they could to bid farewell to Jiang Xinghai.

Du Jingsong of the Du Family, accompanied by his two great-granddaughters, Du Fangfei and Du Fangqing, was the first to arrive.

"Tonight, if either of you can win Duke Jiang's favor, it will be a life-changing opportunity, a chance to soar. You must seize it, do you understand?" At over ninety years old, Du Jingsong was a master of understanding the ways of the world.

"Grandpa Zeng, it seems Duke Jiang's heart already belongs to someone. Should we really be shamelessly fawning over him?" Du Fangfei said, finding it hard to speak.

"Nonsense!"

Du Jingsong's old face flushed with anger. "I'm just telling you, even if you could become Duke Jiang's bed..."

He almost let the word "mate" slip out, but caught himself and coughed a few times. "Even if you two can just become his confidantes, it would be enough to benefit you for the rest of your lives. Do you understand?"

"We understand, Grandpa Zeng." Du Fangfei nodded emphatically, a blush rising to her cheeks.

An idea suddenly struck Du Fangqing. "Grandpa Zeng," she asked, "if one of us were to carry Duke Jiang's child, wouldn't that mean..."

"Exactly!"

Du Jingsong laughed heartily. "Your thinking is on the right track! If one of you could carry Duke Jiang's child... hahaha..."

"Elder Du, you're here early."

Just then, Ma Tiebing and his son, Ma Long, approached, followed by a beautiful young woman who looked to be about seventeen or eighteen.

"Ma, who might that be?" Du Jingsong asked, looking at the beautiful young woman.

"My youngest daughter. She just got back from out of town," Ma Tiebing said, giving him a knowing look.

Du Jingsong understood perfectly.

Ma Tiebing's intentions were the same as his own: he hoped that on Jiang Xinghai's final night, he could forge a closer bond with their family.

Why else would he have summoned his daughter home from her studies abroad?

"Elder Du, Ma, you're both here."

At that moment, Cheng Zhipeng of the Cheng Family, Qu Xiangrui, and others arrived, each accompanied by an exceptionally beautiful woman.
