Mr. Gu's wife is a little naughty

Lin Tao slowly stepped back to the carved door of the clubhouse, his heart awash with emotions. Memories of the past flooded back like a tide, bringing with them a wry smile and a sigh of regret. This was the place that had witnessed his sudden, dreamlike marriage to Tian Tian. Looking back now, a sense of inexplicable happiness and relief woven into a tangled web.

Inside the clubhouse, the lights were brilliant, illuminating a dazzling display of bright and beautiful scenes. Fanjiang's upper class, like a starry sky, gathered here, each meticulously weaving their own social networks. They gathered in pairs, in small groups of three or five, their conversations filled with lighthearted, insignificant, and elegant conversations.

Such occasions have their own set of unwritten rules. They are more like a carefully arranged stage, designed for the exchange of emotions and the tacit communication of hearts. The intrigues and greed of money in the business world seem out of place here, tacitly set aside. Guests, dressed in finery, are full of laughter, exchanging glances and conversation. Every toast, every chuckle, seems to silently weave new stories and connections.

The various socialites in Fanjiang are like colorful butterflies dancing among flowers, lightly shuttling among the bustling crowd. Each of them is carefully dressed, and as their eyes move, they weave beautiful dreams of entering the upper class, looking for prey and opportunities that can make them tomorrow's wealthy wives.

Lin Tao, with steady steps, entered the gleaming hall of the clubhouse. Instantly, the air around him froze, countless eyes converged on him. He smiled calmly, a smile that expressed both indifference to the attention and a gentle reminiscence of bygone days. Having been immersed in such social gatherings since childhood, he had long since come to accept this prosperity as the foundation of his life. His entrance at this moment felt more like a wanderer returning home, with a subtle touch of warmth and composure.

He was wearing a tailor-made suit, which was well-cut. Every line outlined his tall and straight figure. His every gesture revealed the elegance and confidence developed from long-term immersion in upper-class society.

Lin Tao's face was painted with a sly yet charming smile, and he walked steadily and confidently into the bright lights of the banquet hall. He greeted everyone along the way, whether he knew them or not. Even though he didn't know who they were, this didn't affect his enthusiasm.

As Tian Zhenyuan stepped out of the box, his gaze was drawn to Lin Tao, who was wearing exaggeratedly large sunglasses and waving at him along the way. A faint smile crept onto his lips, a hint of amusement and appreciation hidden within it.

"I didn't realize this guy is such a social butterfly. He can quickly liven up the crowd wherever he goes." Hong Dancheng said softly to his companions with a teasing look in his eyes. Although there was disdain in his tone, he couldn't hide his curiosity about Lin Tao's unique charm.

"I think this person is quite interesting." Li Toyota said with a smile on his face.

"Anyway, let's go meet him first." Tian Zhenyuan had a faint but deep smile on his face. He leisurely took a glass of crystal clear wine and walked steadily towards where Lin Tao was.

"Mr. Gu, it is a great blessing in life for me to finally meet you today given your great reputation!" Tian Zhenyuan's voice cut through the noise of the crowd, carrying a bit of warmth and respect, and rang out loudly when he was a few steps away from Lin Tao.

Upon hearing this, Lin Tao turned around with a casual and unrestrained look. As soon as his eyes met Tian Zhenyuan, a warm smile like the reunion of old friends instantly bloomed on his face. He stretched out his hand without hesitation and shook Tian Zhenyuan's hand tightly.

"Chairman Tian, ​​nice to meet you!" He then shook hands and greeted the two people behind Tian Zhenyuan one by one.

"I have heard of Mr. Gu's name for a long time. Seeing him today, I can see that he is indeed in his prime and full of heroic spirit. He is truly a rare talent in this world!" Li Toyota said politely.

"I'm sorry to have embarrassed you, Chairman Li." Lin Tao said respectfully.

However, when it was Hong Dancheng's turn, the atmosphere subtly shifted. Lin Tao, maintaining his gentle demeanor, gently extended his hand for a polite handshake with Hong Dancheng, but a subtle chill seemed to permeate the air. Hong Dancheng's eyes didn't sparkle with the enthusiasm and admiration everyone had expected; instead, they revealed an inexplicable indifference and distance.

"Chairman Hong is blaming my nephew!" Lin Tao said with a hint of joking.

"Haha, Mr. Gu, you are too kind. How dare I, Hong, say anything bad about you? Mr. Gu, you are a leader in the industry with extraordinary achievements. I am just an old man. How dare I act rashly?" Although Hong Dancheng was smiling in his words, the smile did not seem to reach his eyes, and his words revealed some elusive meanings.

"Come to think of it, I am your daughter's savior. Alas, you are still a well-known figure in Fanjiang after all. Is this how you treat your daughter's savior?" Lin Tao raised a playful arc at the corner of his mouth and joked to Hong Dancheng.

"If it weren't for this, I would have been rude to you a long time ago!" Hong Dancheng was not angry, but seemed to be more and more curious about the mysterious Mr. Gu in front of him.

Lin Tao looked around the hall. Beichen was also in a corner of the hall. Although he seemed to be chatting with someone else, his eyes would still look towards them from time to time.

Lin Tao seemed to have keenly grasped the subtle moment and deliberately closed the distance between him and Hong Dancheng. He leaned forward slightly and whispered in Hong Dancheng's ear, "Chairman Hong, isn't he curious about the truth behind the eldest lady's accident?"

Hong Dancheng's expression changed slightly, a hint of doubt flashed in his eyes, and his voice carried an imperceptible fluctuation, "Wasn't it an accident?"

Lin Tao's lips curled into a meaningful smile. He raised his finger, gracefully yet forcefully, and pointed in Beichen's direction. Hong Dancheng followed his lead, his gaze involuntarily wandering through the crowd, meeting Beichen's gaze in mid-air. Their gazes strangely overlapped at that moment, and a subtle undercurrent seemed to permeate the air.

Lin Tao, wearing large sunglasses, couldn't see anything, but the atmosphere around them was quietly tense due to the sudden change in Hong Dancheng's eyes. Hong Dancheng's eyes seemed to be instantly covered with ice, revealing a chilling murderous aura that could not be ignored. In stark contrast, Beichen's eyes were filled with confusion and puzzlement.

"Are you related to Beichen in this matter?"

Hong Dancheng looked at Lin Tao and asked.

Lin Tao chuckled and deftly moved sideways, creating a subtle distance between him and Hong Dancheng. "Oh! I didn't say anything!"

After he finished speaking, the mysterious atmosphere that Lin Tao deliberately created lingered. After he greeted Tian Zhenyuan and Li Toyota lightly, he leisurely picked up the wine glass in his hand, with some indescribable depth in his steps, and slowly walked towards the direction of Beichen.

Tian Zhenyuan's eyes followed Lin Tao's back as he walked away, and suddenly an inexplicable sense of familiarity surged in his heart. He pointed at Lin Tao's back and asked the other two people beside him.

"Do you think this figure looks familiar?"

Li Toyota frowned slightly, and Hong Dancheng seemed to be still thinking about what Lin Tao had just said, appearing a little absent-minded.

"I didn't notice it!" Li Toyota murmured.

Tian Zhenyuan patted Hong Dancheng on the shoulder and asked, "What are you thinking about?"

Hong Dancheng was stunned for a long while before the fog in his mind gradually dissipated. He muttered to himself, "I was wondering why Momo went to Tibet alone for no reason. It turns out there is such a secret hidden here!" After he finished speaking, a hint of realization and emotion flashed in his eyes.

Tian Zhenyuan was puzzled by Hong Dancheng's inexplicable words. Just as he was about to say something, Hong Dancheng had already taken out his cell phone and started talking to his assistant.
