Urban Seduction: Housewives Club

When the Bentley Mulliner728 arrived at the gates of the Ye Mansion, it caused a slight stir. This commotion made a group of people who were about to enter also turn back to look.

As Eric and the others got out of the car, there was a wave of gasps around, and among the people at the gate, some recognized them, "Tan Ailing..."

Eric and the others looked over and were surprised to see Wu Mei.

What was strange was that there was a hint of anger in Wu Mei's eyes as she looked at Tan Ailing. However, when her gaze fell on Eric, she was first stunned, then doubtful, and finally, joyful.

With a slight excitement and confusion, Wu Mei, amidst the bewildered eyes of the others, swayed gracefully and walked towards Eric. As she approached, she leaned in close to Eric's neck and took a deep breath.

Her bold move made everyone watching her involuntarily take a deep breath—of cold air!

Even Eric, who was usually indifferent, couldn't help but step back, frowning, "What are you doing?"

"You tell me?" Wu Mei smiled slyly, glancing at Eric and even reaching out to pinch his waist.

Eric, unhappy with her "flirtatious" behavior, took another step back, his voice deep, "Have some self-respect!"

Eric's expression and tone made Wu Mei, who had been smiling, suddenly tearful. "How...how can you treat me like this? Do you know how worried I was about you? I even asked people to inquire about your whereabouts all over Country A! Who knew you were lying to me! Now that I've recognized you, not only do you not admit it, but you also speak to me in this tone, do you have no conscience..."

Wu Mei's words made Eric slightly startled. He knew this woman had recognized his identity, and he couldn't help but ask, "How did you recognize me?"

"Hmph," Wu Mei wrinkled her nose slightly, "I'd recognize you even if you turned to ash..."

Eric's eyes narrowed, and Wu Mei immediately sensed something and quickly explained, "When I first saw you, I felt you looked familiar. I even thought you were Eric's brother, but then I dismissed that idea because, apart from identical twins, few brothers have almost identical mannerisms. Plus, your scent is exactly the same as 'Eric's' before. If I couldn't guess, I'd have lived in vain all these years!"

"Scent?" Tan Ailing and Tang Feiyan looked at each other in surprise. They had never noticed any peculiar smell on Eric!

Proudly, Wu Mei said, "Everyone has their own unique scent, but most people can't smell it. We in our sect have a secret technique that can amplify this scent countless times..."

"Oh..." Tan Ailing and Tang Feiyan sighed simultaneously, even Eric felt enlightened today!n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Wu Mei's gaze turned to Tan Ailing, and she said somewhat embarrassedly, "I used to hear that Ailing's fiancé was the young master of the Medicine King Sect, and I even hated you, thinking you betrayed 'Eric.' Now I know 'Eric' is Eric! But..."

At this point, Wu Mei's face changed, and she said fiercely, "You actually kept it from me. Do you want to monopolize Eric..."

"Not at all!" Tan Ailing blushed slightly. "We were just afraid you wouldn't be able to accept Eric's sudden growth!"

"What's there not to accept!"

Wu Mei said casually, "Our Charming Maiden Sect has a method that can turn a six-year-old girl into a sixteen-year-old maiden within a year. And the other sects and factions of the Wu Clan also have some secrets that can accelerate the growth of living beings! There's nothing strange about it..."

Tan Ailing and Tang Feiyan looked at each other in silence. They had never thought that what seemed incomprehensible to them was commonplace to others!

To avoid embarrassment, Tang Feiyan linked arms with Wu Mei and said, "Wu Mei, why are you here? Did the Ye family send you an invitation?" Since the day Wu Mei and the others traveled a long distance to the Medicine King Sect to inquire about Eric's whereabouts, Tang Feiyan no longer called her "Auntie" in person.

"Of course!" Wu Mei snorted, "Don't think you're all that just because you've created the Ling Yan Group. Let me tell you, the industries under my Wan Hua Club are not necessarily fewer than yours! And I am the most famous socialite in the whole of Shanghai, with a network of contacts that you cannot compare to..."

When Wu Mei noticed the expression in Tang Feiyan's eyes, she was momentarily stunned, then quickly explained to Eric with a slightly anxious expression, "Eric, please don't misunderstand. The reason I have such a broad network is based on my words and deeds, absolutely not my physical..."

Eric shook his head with a smile, saying, "No need to explain, I know. You are still a virgin..."

A blush crept up on Wu Mei's face, and she shyly whispered, "Hateful, how can you say such things in front of so many people..."

As they were chatting, a group of people at the gate couldn't wait any longer, and a handsome middle-aged man, who exuded the vitality of a twenty-year-old, the stability of a thirty-year-old, and the demeanor of a forty-year-old, walked slowly towards them.

"President Miao, are these your friends? Introduce them to me!"

Eric and Tan Ailing noticed that as the newcomer approached, Wu Mei frowned, but instead of erupting, she explained with a slightly helpless expression, "Eric, this is Chairman Wang of the Shanxi Coal Association..."

Eric and Tan Ailing exchanged glances, both understanding the other identity of this Chairman Wang—the Crown Prince, the helm of the Northern Black Alliance!

"...Chairman Wang, this is Tan Ailing, the president of the Ling Yan Group, and this is Tang Feiyan, the vice president of the Ling Yan Group!"

At this point, Wu Mei suddenly embraced Eric's arm tightly, with a sweet smile on her face, "He is my fiancé, Eric, the young master of the Medicine King Sect!"

Continue your journey on empire

Originally, when the prince saw Wu Mei hug Eric, a hint of hostility flashed in his eyes. However, upon hearing the words "Young Master of the Medicine King Sect," all those feelings dissipated!

Although his eyes dimmed slightly, he was still courteous, "So it was Young Master Eric in person. I was rude!"

Just as Eric was about to return the courtesy, another person came over and whispered a few words in the prince's ear. Perhaps because the prince emitted the aura of a pre-heaven expert, the whispers didn't reach Eric's ears, but judging by his demeanor, Eric felt that the topic was related to him.

Sure enough, after the man finished speaking and left, the prince, with a look of astonishment, said to Eric, "I didn't know that the Axe Gang was supported by Young Master Eric. Please forgive my past offenses!"

"No harm done! Ignorance is no excuse!" Eric waved his hand, "But, I advise you, Wang, with external forces stirring up trouble in Shanghai, you better think twice before acting!"

The prince's eyes flickered slightly, but his expression was extremely sincere, "I have learned from this! As long as Young Master Eric is in Shanghai, I will not dare to set foot here!" After saying that, he even skipped the Ye family's banquet, apologized, and left.

Watching his departing figure, Tang Feiyan couldn't help but feel puzzled, "Sister Wu Mei, didn't you say this man was crazy about you? Why didn't he even look at you when he left?" There was no sarcasm in Tang Feiyan's words, just genuine confusion.

Wu Mei showed a look of relief after sending off this pest, saying casually, "Rumors should not be taken too seriously. Wang pursued me because he wanted to enter Shanghai, didn't he? He left so cleanly now because he realized he couldn't compete with the Medicine King Sect! However, Wang is a person of deep scheming, he will definitely not just leave quietly, Eric, you should be careful."

Eric nodded. After seeing Wang's actions and hearing his words, both he and Tan Ailing had classified him as "dangerous," even if Wu Mei hadn't mentioned it, he would have thought of him as a "dangerous person."

Not dwelling on it, because Ye Zhenglin, who had been informed by the gatekeeper, had personally come out to greet them, accompanied by Deputy Mayor Tang.

"Hahaha..." Before the man arrived, his laughter preceded him, "Young Master Eric's visit is truly an honor for the Ye family!"

"Mr. Ye's thirty-year marriage is worth congratulating, not to mention that Deputy Mayor Tang personally invited me, how could I dare not come?" Eric was giving face to Deputy Mayor Tang, after all, he was his prospective father-in-law. He had slept with the man's daughter, so shouldn't he help the man save face?

At this moment, Deputy Mayor Tang felt quite proud, as he was one of the few government officials in Shanghai who knew Eric's identity as the "Living Buddha"!
