Early the next morning, everyone gathered again at Fengming. Chu Feifei arranged for a luxurious Mercedes-Benz Sprinter from the Chu Group to transport everyone.
Since they had never attended such high-profile meetings before, they decided yesterday to travel light, with each person mostly wearing the classic combination of T-shirts and shorts, and bringing a couple of jackets to stay warm against the wind on the Dragon Boat.
After a simple breakfast, Jiang Feng took the role of the driver, setting off with six stunning beauties before the rush hour, heading towards the Provincial City.
The prestigious and grand three-row seat Smart started attracting countless onlookers as soon as it hit the road.
This car is a rare upgraded luxury version in the market, a fitting ride for the chairman of the Chu Group, exuding absolute prestige.
Inside, there's a large SONY LCD TV, a BOSE audio-visual system, and exquisite crystal glasses, completely capable of breaking the monotony of travel.
The luxurious Italian Nappa leather sofa and high-resilience foam cushions provide a soft support, complemented by an electric massage system, making the ride comfortable and enjoyable for the six ladies.
"Uncle Jiang, why not keep this car at our place in the future? You can be our full-time driver, and you can take us wherever we want to go."
Chu Feifei smiled as she leaned towards the driver's seat and spoke to Jiang Feng.
Jiang Feng shook his head helplessly. He had barely managed to lend her some air of a prestigious chairwoman with this car, only for her demeanor to break the illusion with her carefree, cheerful manner.
Nearly three hours later, Jiang Feng finally drove the car to Dragon Head Port in the Provincial City, parking at the boarding area.
Seeing the Dragon Boat up close, it was far more magnificent than on the invitation!
It was as if a giant golden dragon lay crouched outside the harbor, while those who had arrived early to board seemed minuscule in comparison.
The path from the parking area to the boarding gate was lined with a red carpet, flanked by flower baskets filled with fresh flowers whose fragrance wafted in the breeze, infusing the air with a refreshing aroma.
However, upon arrival, Nangong Qingcheng and Chu Feifei were a bit taken aback.
They had underestimated how others would regard this Dragon Boat feast—besides them, other women at the event were in extravagant attire, elegant dresses, or even luxurious qipaos.
Yet despite these sumptuous garments, the women's looks were less than impressive: few beauties and mostly overweight rich wives, with hardly any slender figures to be found.
This was because those attending were business tycoons and successful individuals; while their mistresses and lovers might be young and beautiful, only their legitimate, albeit aging, wives were qualified to appear at such gatherings.
These wives had aged, with figures distorted, and despite the jewels and glam, nothing could reduce the oiliness of their skin.
Thus, when Jiang Feng arrived with six exceptionally beautiful women, they instantly commanded everyone's attention!
Nangong Qingcheng's group embodied a variety of earthly charms, and even one of them present would have overshadowed the crowd, let alone all six gathered together!
Immediately, the business tycoons couldn't take their eyes off Nangong Qingcheng and the six women.
This aroused jealousy and anger in their wives.
"Hmph, what is the Dongfang Family doing this time? Inviting us here every year is one thing, but now they've brought a bunch of young people on board. Look at these vixens, each one flaunting themselves to seduce!"
One wealthy wife, with an updo, cast a cold glance at Nangong Qingcheng and the six women, then grabbed her husband's ear harshly, "Stop looking! One more glance and you'll be drinking foot wash when we get home!"
Though her voice wasn't loud, it was clear enough for the six women to hear.
Initially cheerful, Chu Feifei instantly became slightly outraged and stepped forward, "What did you say? You're the vixen!"
"Am I wrong?"
The wealthy wife paused, seeing Chu Feifei dare to confront her, then sneered, "Look at you all dressed to attract attention. What else is it if not seducing? I know your type; you're just some young models and high-end escorts from who knows where, cozying up to some organizers to get on board, then trying to hook other men, aren't you?"
"You're talking nonsense! Don't project your filthy thoughts onto others. If your man can't control his eyes, why blame us?" Chu Feifei retorted, increasingly indignant.
"Oh, now you're provoking me? Do you know who I am? Let me tell you, I look down on dealing with vixens like you. Otherwise, I could crush you with a finger!"
The wealthy wife snapped her teeth, "A bunch of gaudy tramps, learning nothing good at a young age but to snuggle up to rich men looking for a rich husband, just to be discarded when the novelty wears off!"
"Exactly! So what if you're young and fresh now? Maybe your parts below are already dark! Remember, you'll age too, and then you'll be worse off than us! Trying to take shortcuts now, but later won't even be good enough for leftovers, just withered flowers!"
The wealthy wife's words strangely found resonance among the other older wives, as another wealthy woman echoed with disdain.
"You all!!" Chu Feifei was nearly exploding with rage, being slandered and falsely accused just by standing there?
Do these women, who lead empty lives, really need to be so venomous and mean?
She was about to speak more, but Nangong Qingcheng behind her pulled her back.
Nangong Qingcheng shook her head at Chu Feifei, indicating there was no need to say more. Arguing with troublemakers achieved nothing, and as long as they had nothing to hide, there was no need to bring trouble upon themselves!
The husbands of those wealthy wives quickly pulled their own jealous wives away to avoid further embarrassment here.
"Little tramp, remember! Don't pretend to be innocent; just now my husband was staring at your face. Try flirting with him on the boat, and I'll break your legs!"
The wealthy wife pointed at Nangong Qingcheng's nose with a chubby finger as she was dragged away by her husband.
"Are you crazy? Starved of love that you bite whoever comes near?" Zhang Qinyao finally couldn't stand it anymore and coldly remarked.
"Oh? Another little tart with a comeback. Du Mantang, let go of me. Today I must slap this lot's faces until they're mush!"
The wealthy wife said, violently struggling free from her husband, and charged angrily toward Nangong Qingcheng and Zhang Qinyao, rolling up her sleeves, ready to hit.
"Stop!"
Just then, a sudden stern shout came from afar.
Everyone turned their heads in unison to see a handsome, commanding young man in a well-tailored black suit, striding towards them with a group in tow.
The wealthy woman's husband, Du Mantang, was immediately startled!
"Young Master Hui, why are you here?"
