Zhao Jiaming was both ashamed and angry. People were laughing not only at him for his pants falling down and making a fool of himself, but also because in addition to his bare legs, he was wearing a pink pair of women's underwear on his buttocks!
After Zhao Jiaming pulled up his pants, his suit jacket tore off from his shoulders and fell to the ground. The shirt was torn and the arms were completely pulled open. Only the neck of his shirt was left, leaving his upper body bare in front of everyone's eyes!
Several girls immediately exclaimed in embarrassment and anger, "Pervert!"
If it weren't for being a pervert, who would cut off a perfectly good shirt, leaving only the neck area? And what grown man would wear a girl's underwear?
Of course, Zhou Xuan tampered with Zhao Jiaming's shirt, but the pink underwear he wore was his own business. Zhou Xuan could only absorb and transform it, but he couldn't change anything else!
As Zhao Jiaming pulled up his pants, he never expected that his shirt would also slip off, revealing that his undershirt only covered his neck. What had happened? He remembered wearing a shirt properly that morning, and besides, this outfit was from an Armani boutique. Not only was his diamond ring faulty, but his designer clothes were also defective. He had truly lost face today!
At this moment, Zhao Jiaming couldn't think of anything else. He completely forgot about Zhou Xuan. In the hall, the central air conditioning was strong and the temperature was not low, but he was too embarrassed to do anything about it. His pants seemed to be slipping down, so he quickly grabbed them again, but this only made them tear even more. All the threads came off, and the pants were no longer pants, but just a few unstitched pieces of raw cloth. Zhao Jiaming only had two hands, and he couldn't hold so many pieces of cloth with just two hands!
In that instant, Zhao Jiaming's pants fell down to his ankles again, and all he was holding in his hands were two pieces of cloth, one in each hand. His upper body was bare, and apart from his pink underwear, he was only holding up one piece of cloth on each side, leaving his two hairy thighs exposed to everyone once again!
This scene was both surprising and hilarious; everyone laughed until tears streamed down their faces, turning what should have been a joyous start to the birthday banquet into a laughingstock!
Zhao Jiaming cried out "Ouch!" and quickly grabbed a cloth to cover his buttocks. He lowered his head and scurried into the small room on the other side, not daring to raise his head!
Because of this incident, Zhao Jiaming's matter was interrupted, and the young masters and rich men who were surrounding him forgot about Zhou Xuan and followed him to Zhao Jiaming's house.
But Gu Ailin and Shangguan Mingyue and the other girls naturally didn't follow. Gu Ailin laughed and wondered for a while, while Shangguan Mingyue seemed to be deep in thought!
She had encountered this kind of thing several times. When she was chasing Zhou Xuan in her car, the tire of a sports car worth millions suddenly fell off the car. Another time, she saw Wu Jianguo and his group all with their pants falling down, which was almost exactly the same as Zhao Jiaming's situation just now. But Zhao Jiaming was even worse. Those people only had their belts broken and their pants falling down, but Zhao Jiaming's shirt was ripped to shreds, and his shirt was so badly damaged that only a tiny bit of it remained.
To others, including Zhao Jiaming himself, this scene would suggest that the clothing was of poor quality, or that Zhao Jiaming himself was perverted, wearing pink women's underwear and a strange shirt that only covered his neck. What else could this be but perversion?
But Shangguan Mingyue was suddenly alarmed!
Looking back on these strange incidents, Zhou Xuan was present every single time, wasn't he? Zhou Xuan was present both the time he chased after Zhou Xuan and the time with Wu Jianguo, regarding the tire and pants incidents. It's just that when he chased after Zhou Xuan, he was driving, while Zhou Xuan's car was more than ten meters away.
This startled Shangguan Mingyue again. These events were like strange magic tricks, but they were too mysterious. If they were related to Zhou Xuan, Zhou Xuan was always at least ten meters away from the people involved in these events. If he was behind it, how could he maintain such a distance?
If it wasn't him, then he was always there, even if he wasn't right in front of them, he was never far away!
Shangguan Mingyue stared intently at Zhou Xuan, becoming increasingly dazed!
The scene of her first meeting with Zhou Xuan came back to her mind. That time, Zhou Xuan miraculously drank dozens of bottles of foreign liquor. Even water, no one could possibly drink that much in such a short time!
What kind of person is Zhou Xuan? Does he really know magic?

Volume 1, Chapter 290: Birthday Gift
Shangguan Mingyue began to suspect Zhou Xuan, but of course she wouldn't tell anyone. She was just becoming more and more curious about Zhou Xuan. What kind of person was this man who had inadvertently captured her heart?
Perhaps she will never understand, never know, because Zhou Xuan had no intention of taking their relationship any further.
Gu Ailin and the other girls stared at Zhao Jiaming as he darted into the small room, both amused and annoyed. It took them a while to realize what was happening, and when they turned around, Zhou Xuan was already gone.
Zhou Xuan had already taken the opportunity to walk to the edge of the garden lawn outside the hall. He had no good feelings towards those young masters and didn't want to have any dealings with them. However, after sneaking onto the lawn, he turned around and saw Shangguan Mingyue with a pretty face full of reproach.
"Are you avoiding me?" Shangguan Mingyue asked softly, biting her lip.
Zhou Xuan was taken aback, then said, "That's not true. Why would I avoid you? I just don't want to get into a conflict with these people!"
"And one more thing!" Zhou Xuan thought for a moment, then took out his checkbook and wrote a check for 600,000 yuan. He then handed it to Shangguan Mingyue and said, "Miss Shangguan, could you please take this check to Miss Gu? She might not believe the authenticity of my check. If you give it to her, things might be different. Consider it a favor you can do me!"
Shangguan Mingyue accepted the check, wanting to say something, but didn't. Helping Zhou Xuan was something she should do, after all, her relationship with Zhou Xuan was quite special. Zhou Xuan had helped her a lot, and she hadn't repaid the favor. Of course, the main reason was that Zhou Xuan didn't want her to repay the favor at all.
Shangguan Mingyue actually wanted to ask Zhou Xuan about those things, but she felt that it involved Zhou Xuan's secrets, so she was too embarrassed to ask. She figured that even if she asked, he wouldn't answer. If it really was magic, why would a magician tell his secrets to someone else?
Zhou Xuan hadn't expected Shangguan Mingyue to think of this issue. Of course, even if Shangguan Mingyue had actually asked him about these things, he wouldn't have admitted it or answered it.
Shangguan Mingyue clutched the check, swayed her hips, glanced sideways at Zhou Xuan, and after a moment of silence asked, "How did you end up here? Do you know where this is? And what's going on today?"
“Of course I know!” Zhou Xuan nodded and said, “Isn’t this the birthday banquet of the Gu family’s patriarch, at the Gu family’s hillside mansion!”
Zhou Xuan answered this question, and then thought of Gu Yuan. This guy brought him here, but then disappeared for so long. If he had been with him, this kind of thing probably wouldn't have happened.
"It's good that you know. Are you here to celebrate Old Master Gu's birthday?" Shangguan Mingyue was relieved to see that Zhou Xuan knew where they were and what the matter was. However, Zhou Xuan still did not answer her question or explain why they had come to this place.
"A birthday greeting?" Zhou Xuan was taken aback, then realized that coming here without a gift would be extremely impolite to the Gu family. Although Gu Yuan had forcibly dragged him here, it was never wrong to be polite. Gu Yuan said he didn't care, but what about the rest of the Gu family? It would be fine if no one knew, but now he had directly clashed with the eldest daughter of the Gu family, Gu Yuan's younger sister Gu Ailin, and offended a group of young masters and rich kids. He couldn't guarantee that no one would cause trouble for him. If things got out of hand, the Gu family would immediately know that he wasn't there to offer birthday greetings, and that would be a real loss of face!
Besides, he had finally established a relationship with Gu Yuan. Zhou Xuan was that kind of person; if someone had gone through hardships and tribulations with him, he would treat them as a true friend. Although Gu Yuan was a rich young master, his temperament was compatible with his. In addition, Gu Yuan was Brother Hong's friend. Zhou Xuan couldn't afford to lose face because of Gu Yuan's kindness.
Besides, Zhou Xuan isn't someone who lacks anything; he just wasn't prepared in the first place, so what kind of congratulatory gift can he send now?
"Sister Mingyue, what's the point of talking to this scoundrel? I think he's just a freeloader!"
As Zhou Xuan and Shangguan Mingyue turned around, Gu Ailin, who had changed into a formal dress, appeared behind them. Her beautiful dress had been stained, and even after changing into something else, she was still very unhappy. Zhao Jiaming, who had stood up for her, had inexplicably made a fool of himself. That guy was a scoundrel, making such a perverted mess. Since he was wearing such a perverted thing, why didn't he take better care of it? He ended up making a huge embarrassment!
Shangguan Mingyue blushed, wanting to say something to cover it up, but Gu Ailin had already tricked her into revealing her true feelings. At this point, there was no use saying anything. She also knew that Gu Ailin looked down on Zhou Xuan, and she was stunned and didn't know what to say!
Zhou Xuan smiled faintly and immediately said, "There's no need to say anything else. How much was your dress? I'll write a new check for 600,000 and have Miss Shangguan give it to you as compensation. Today is Old Master Gu's birthday, and I'm here to offer my congratulations. If you want to make a mess of the birthday banquet, then so be it!"
Gu Ailin was taken aback, then revealed a disbelieving expression. What kind of status did her family have? How could they invite such people? They must have snuck in to freeload or steal things. Don't even mention that today is her grandfather's birthday banquet; there are countless valuable gifts. Stealing just one of them would be enough for an ordinary person to live on for a lifetime. Even if it weren't a birthday celebration, the Gu family has plenty of valuable things at home!
But how did this guy sneak in? Gu Ailin stared at Shangguan Mingyue with a puzzled look.
Seeing Gu Ailin's questioning gaze, Shangguan Mingyue immediately waved her hands repeatedly and said, "No...no, it wasn't me, it wasn't me who brought him..." But as soon as she said this, Shangguan Mingyue stopped herself. Saying it so directly to Zhou Xuan's face would be too embarrassing, but the meaning behind her words was clearly revealed.
Zhou Xuan didn't want Shangguan Mingyue to cover for him. He reached into his pocket with his left hand and felt for a piece of jadeite ring material. This was a tiny bit of material left over from a stone-cutting factory outside his city that he had taken last time. Because it was top-grade jadeite, even though the remaining fragment was only two centimeters in size, it would still be worth millions if carved into a ring. Nowadays, on the international market, a top-grade jadeite ring is worth more than 15 million yuan!
Just now in the hall, Zhou Xuan saw a painting of five women paying respects to a birthday celebration on the wall. He held the piece of fabric in his pocket and thought back to the painting. Suddenly, an idea came to him: with the Gu family's wealth, ordinary birthday gifts were naturally not worth their attention.
Since acquiring ice energy, Zhou Xuan has made rapid progress, and now he doesn't know how many new abilities ice energy has brought out. The conversion and absorption of ice energy made Zhou Xuan suddenly realize that ice energy can convert and absorb any substance, and it can be based on the images in his mind. This is because when Zhou Xuan converts and absorbs other substances, ice energy can be refined to an extremely fine level. Thinking about it now, this level is almost beyond the range that can be seen by the naked eye!
