After Yun'er introduction of these 5 men, Ziwei recalled that she have seen some of these men on popular magazines before and realized she indeed lost touch with the world outside her marriage.

"Ziwei! Stop spacing out, we got to make it to hear their speech!" Yun'er nudges Ziwei as they step foot into the grand ballroom. Ziwei couldn't help me was amazed at the surrounding.

The ballroom is filled with the rich and famous, everyone was dressed to the nines. Award winning artistes, international models, the million & billionaires that usually appears on the media. Ziwei counted herself lucky to be able to attend this VIP event since Yun'er husband is one of the businessmen affiliated to the Wang Group. Many would die to attend this event.

As Ziwei looked around, there was one person she never expected would appear at this event.

It was Song JianAn.

Standing beside him was Yu Wenjing. Ziwei was observing their intimate behaviour, hooking arms exchanging laughters. Ziwei's heart broke once again. This time, she decided to walk up to the adulterous couple.

The moment JianAn's eyes catches her, he was out of words. Shocked beyond words. How did Ziwei managed to attend such event? This is only for invited guests!

Yu Wenjing glance at Ziwei as if she was a pest. "Oh? How did you manage to attend such grand event ere? People like you shouldn't have gotten the invite" Yu Wenjing teased sacarstically.

JianAn ignored Ziwei's presence, treating as if she was a stranger. Not even acknowledging she was his wife! Ziwei felt defeated and retreated back into the crowd when suddenly..

Yu Wenjing stepped on Ziwei's gown deliberately causing her to lose her balance and tripped forward to the ground as Yu Wenjing spills her glass of red wine all over Ziwei's.

The crowd gasped in horror. Everyone's attention was on Ziwei.

Yu Wenjing then display an evil smirk linking arms with Song JianAn walking away."Ziwei!" Yun'er exclaimed in shocked, as she ran to her aid.

Just then, the 5 men who were in the ballroom noticed the scene and commotion.

As Ziwei tries to pick herself up, A man extended his hand to Ziwei up, as she lift her head up and realized it was Daniel Chen! One of the 5 Kings that Yun'er explained to her. He shook a gentle smile to Ziwei as if telling her through his eyes everything is okay. Ziwei was mortified to have meet him in such situation. Nonetheless, she accepted his help and return the smile awkwardly.

Suddenly...

"Apologize." An icy cold voice traveled from this man in a black suit, intercepted Song JianAn and Yu Wenjing's footsteps as they tried to get out of this commotion. Everyone's attention in the ballroom was turned to this man. It was an abrupt silence .

It was Wang Yan.

He stood there with his arms folded, obviously displeased with what he just saw. How dare they caused a scene as his hotel?!

Song JianAn and Yu Wenjing were at a lost. There stands Wang Yan, the most powerful man in Shanghai that nobody could outbeat him in all aspects.

Everyone in the business industry gave their utmost respect to this man standing right there. Song JianAn's palms start to sweat knowing that never in his right mind he could offend Wang Yan.

He knows the consequences if he messed this up.
