The God of Wealth: Her Top Game of Thrones

If he were truly well protected, then Merrick shouldn't be here tonight.

Since Merrick is here tonight, it means he definitely has a reason to be here.

Would Tang Tang be that reason? Tang Tang didn't know, but she didn't care.

She smiled and gently touched Feng Lan's chin, praising him, "So smart."

Feng Lan lowered her head to kiss Tang Tang's hand. "Merrick is most likely not targeting you... He probably discovered you, so he changed his target at the last minute."

Tang Tang thought so too.

She and Caroline, among others, had all decided to attend the show at the last minute. Even if Merrick had a problem, it probably wasn't because of them.

However, it was clear that Tang Tang seemed to be a better choice, so Merrick tentatively approached her.

Unfortunately, Feng Lan suddenly appeared out of nowhere and rudely drove Merrick away.

I reckon Merrick is pretty disgusted with Fenglan right now.

Thinking of this, Tang Tang couldn't help but laugh again, and then teased, "How lacking in manners, Feng Lan, you're ruining your reputation."

Feng Lan chuckled dismissively, saying, "What reputation? I have no reputation."

He didn't care about all this nonsense. How could Feng Lan possibly watch other dogs fawn over Tang Tang in front of him?

Moreover, these were some individuals with ulterior motives.

Tang Tang shook her head and coaxed him, "Okay, don't be angry. Is there anything you like? I'll buy it for you, okay?"

As Feng Lan drew closer, he noticed the carefully chosen perfume on him, which he must have blended himself. The scent wasn't complex; it was a blend of cypress and vetiver, with a subtle woody fragrance and a hint of minty coolness.

He moved closer to Tang Tang, a smile on his face, and then looked at her and said, "You seem to really like that person?"

Feng Lan's voice was low and slightly hoarse, with a very good texture, which made Tang Tang's ears feel a little itchy.

She looked at him helplessly, "I just think he's quite interesting."

Tang Tang originally wanted to listen, and Merrick wanted to say something more, but then Feng Lan arrived and shooed them away with a few words.

Thinking of this, Tang Tang wanted to laugh, "Do you know what you looked like just now?"

Feng Lan looked at her, "Are you going to say I'm like a dog again?"

Tang Tang placed her empty wine glass on the table next to her, then spread her hands and said, "Tell me yourself, don't you look like it?"

Before Merrick could do anything, Fenglan came over aggressively to claim his territory.

Feng Lan narrowed his eyes, thinking to himself, "His connections weren't left for nothing... Merrick, right?"

They even dared to flirt with each other right in front of him, with ulterior motives... Feng Lan will definitely teach him a lesson, so he won't think that Tang Tang is his ladder to the top!

Tang Tang watched Feng Lan's expression change and felt that his smile was rather sinister.

She stroked her chin. "What mischief are you plotting?"

Feng Lan looked at Tang Tang, smiled innocently, and then said, "If I teach him a lesson... Muse, you wouldn't feel bad, would you?"

If you have the guts to do something, you must be able to bear the consequences.

Tang Tang glanced at Feng Lan and said, "Let me finish my investigation first."

In fact, there are many people like Merrick. When you are in a high enough position, countless people will spontaneously flock around you, hoping to get something in return.

"Don't do anything bad," Tang Tang said as she got up to find Caroline. Before leaving, she glanced at Feng Lan and said, "Come see me tonight."

A flame suddenly ignited in Feng Lan's eyes, his lips slowly lengthened, his Adam's apple bobbed slightly, and his gaze was fixed on Tang Tang's back.

Caroline dismissed the person and looked at Tang Tang, who had come to find her, with a smile that was both ambiguous and teasing. "Hey? Isn't this that famous genius designer? His name is... Feng Lan?"

She looked at Tang Tang and clicked her tongue repeatedly, "So the rumors at school were true."

Tang Tang looked at her questioningly, "What rumor?"

Caroline leaned closer to Tang Tang, like a cat sneaking around, "Didn't you wear a dress from Fenglan's collection at the Dean's banquet? There was a rumor at that time that you were Fenglan's very mysterious muse."

However, Tang Tang was too low-key and did not join the sorority or student council. She even frequently took leave, so the rumors about her at school were only discussed in a small circle.

Tang Tang chuckled upon hearing this.

Caroline blinked, looked at Tang Tang, tilted her head, and asked curiously, "So it's true?"

Tang Tang winked at her and said, "Yeah."

Caroline let out an "oh~~" and then said, "I just saw Merrick next to you... I thought you were interested in Merrick."

Tang Tang paused slightly, looked at Caroline, and then asked, "You know Merrick?"

Caroline said, "Of course, Merrick starred in a vampire-themed TV series last year, in which he played an evil priest, which was very complex and popular."

Putting everything else aside, Merrick does have some unique characteristics.

Tang Tang noticed that Caroline seemed to like Merrick quite a bit, and thoughtfully asked, "Are you his fan?"

Caroline said, "Not really, but the role he played was fantastic...you know what I mean."

Tang Tang gave a subtle "hmm" and said, "I understand."

In other words, it means you can take a nap.

She changed the subject, patting Caroline on the shoulder and saying, "Let's go find Isabella."

……

At the height of the banquet, Tang Tang and others, along with other Vic members and VIPs, raised their glasses in unison, smiling at each other.

The glamorous movie stars, singers, and models are like the flowers that adorn the scene.

In the world of fame and fortune, the class differences brought about by status, money, and power are naked and clear. Tang Tang is next to Feng Lan, and on the other side is a beautiful movie star.

Tang Tang thought she was very beautiful, and after chatting for a while, she simply took a picture of the whole set of high jewelry she was wearing.

At the banquet, the celebrities attending the event played only these roles. Tang Tang glanced around and spotted Merrick standing not far away.

Merrick's gaze suddenly widened in surprise, as if he had been caught peeking at Tang Tang. He quickly looked away, his expression somewhat embarrassed.

Tang Tang raised an eyebrow slightly, and heard Feng Lan's cold laugh in her ear, "You're quite the actor."

Judging from Merrick's infatuated and persistent manner, anyone who didn't know better would think that he was deeply in love with Tang Tang or had some expectations of her.

Perhaps in Merrick's mind, if Feng Lan weren't around, Tang Tang might soften her heart and lend him a helping hand.

Unfortunately, Feng Lan is not here; Tang Tang's heart is made of iron.

She really couldn't understand... Was it because she was too young, or because she looked too kind, or because she was too easy to talk to, that Merrick had the illusion that she was easy to fool?
