C163 (1/2)

Zhang Lingling's birthday banquet was actually not in a hotel, but placed in a villa on the outskirts of the city. When the taxi reached the door, the security guard at the door came up and told us that this was a private place and that taxis were not allowed in.

Tick took out the invitation card from her bag and handed it to the security guard, who took the invitation card and was stunned for a moment. After confirming the invitation, he called for us to enter.

At this point, the driver in front couldn't help but ask, ”Sir, are you really here to attend the banquet?”

I asked in surprise, ”Yes, is there a problem?”

The driver chuckled and said, ”No, I've been driving a taxi for more than ten years, and this is the first time I've been able to drive in. It's all thanks to you today!”

I frowned slightly and glanced at Tick. I saw that she shook her head as well. She didn't seem to know either.

”Can't a taxi come in here?”

The driver bluntly said, ”Nonsense, this is Wang Jiang Manor, one of the top villas in the Donghai City. The taxi won't come in at all, and anyone who can come here to eat, who isn't driving or has a driver to send them over, even if they aren't, the villa will arrange for the cars to be sent back. It's not even a place for us.”

Hearing the driver's words, I finally understood that I had made a big mistake. I should have found a private car. I think we're the only ones here today who took a taxi.

At this moment, the car finally stopped at the entrance of the tallest building in the villa. Although this building was not very tall, it was very stylish. From the decoration on the outside, one could tell that this building was not simple at all.

The taxi stopped at the door, and the waiter was stunned for a moment before stepping in and opening the door. I got off the taxi first. The moment I stuck my head out, I could feel the eyes of the people around me looking at me. With a smile, I forced myself to step out of the car. It's so awkward, I should have checked before coming over.

Soon, Tick walked out of the car. The moment the flute appeared, the surrounding men's gazes were all focused on her. Tick was so beautiful today that even my boyfriend was mesmerized when he first saw her, let alone these men.

Tick was only twenty years old today, and the receding of Qing Zhi had made her look even more lively. Coupled with her current clothes and the long skirt she wore, she looked like a fairy that had descended to the mortal world.

Tick didn't hesitate to grab my arm. I could feel Tick's nervousness coming from her hand.

I patted Tick's hand, and though I was nervous, I forced myself to calm down. I have already experienced so many life and death situations. I can even face the past with a smile at a gathering of mafia lords. Could it be that I am afraid of such a small birthday party?

When I thought of this, I was no longer nervous. The smile on my face also became more natural. Carrying my flute, I ignored the surrounding gazes and confidently walked inside.

Zhang Lingling's birthday party was a buffet, and there were already a lot of people coming in. After I entered with Tick, I casually took an unremarkable seat before sitting down. The waiter then walked over and respectfully asked us what we wanted to eat.

After the waiter left, I impatiently asked, ”Tick, who exactly is Zhang Lingling?”

I didn't know that she had such a grand birthday banquet. She only told me to dress up more formally before, if I had known, I wouldn't have brought you here. ”

Looking at Tick's appearance, I smiled bitterly and comforted her, ”Forget it, Ling Ling is your good friend. Furthermore, this place is so good.

Tick shook her head and said, ”No, Ling Ling doesn't like to talk to the others, so the rest of us in our dorm don't want to talk to her. Only I have a better relationship with her.”

I nodded and said, ”Oh, alright then. We'll head back after eating happily tonight. After we get back, we shouldn't tell your dorm about what happened today.”

Di Zi rolled her eyes at me, and said, ”Don't worry, I know what to do. Seriously, when we go back, I will definitely interrogate Ling Ling. Her family has so much money, but she actually never told me about it.

Seeing Tick's discontent, I laughed in my heart and comforted her, ”Alright, I won't say that I have a family. Maybe she doesn't like others because of her family background.”

Tick hummed in dissatisfaction, ”Hmph, we are best friends, and yet she told me today. No way, I will definitely interrogate her when we get back.”

Very quickly, the waiter brought the food up. I didn't hold back. Before coming here, I definitely didn't eat anything. I thought that I would be able to have a feast tonight. My stomach was already starving.
