Inheritance of Two Trillion

Chapter 2142: Chapter 1633: Cooper’s Two Goals

Under Jessica’s guidance, Bai Xiaosheng, Bai Yuefeng, Lin Weiwei, and Lei Ying arrived at the banquet venue. The hall was extremely spacious, with elegant and luxurious decor. The live piano music was soothing and melodious, reportedly performed by a renowned musician with his team for entertainment.

The people coming and going were all well-dressed and behaved elegantly.

Among them were no shortage of handsome men and beautiful women, dazzling with charm, and they were all popular movie and music stars currently in the limelight.

”Is that Allen, the lead actor from the movie ’Legend of Power,’ the newly rising A-list star?”

”Andrew! The leading actor in the hit dramas ’Game of Confusion’ and ’Angel’s Hymn,’ it’s really him!”

”York, my favorite electronic music singer!”

”The versatile actress Miranda, is she here too?!”

Lin Weiwei couldn’t help but exclaim softly.

In her leisure time, she, like many other girls, enjoyed watching dramas and naturally had a list of favorite Western actors.

From Lin Weiwei’s amazement, Bai Xiaosheng could easily deduce the scale of this banquet.

Is it really necessary to be this extravagant for just a birthday party, with all these top-tier big names gathered!

Bai Xiaosheng shook his head silently.

With his wealth, he could afford to have these stars on a yearly contract if he wanted, but that held no interest for him.

Even with Lin Weiwei’s current personal wealth, she could organize such an event, but she simply wasn’t inclined to do so.

”This is quite the spectacle, I say, it’s just a birthday, and it’s such a grand event, that Cooper guy is too showy.” Bai Yuefeng couldn’t help but express to Jessica with astonishment.

Even she found it somewhat exaggerated.

There were more than a handful of A-list movie stars, singers, and comedians present, far exceeding the lineup of just some minor stars she originally anticipated.

Jessica smiled brightly, saying, ”This birthday is unlike any other, it holds significant meaning, and Cooper wants more people to witness it.”

Jessica’s words piqued Bai Yuefeng’s curiosity, ”How is it different from usual, what are they witnessing? This birthday hasn’t marked Cooper’s entry into middle age yet, has it?”

Jessica chuckled, nudging Bai Yuefeng, ”Listen to you, Cooper isn’t that old.”

Bai Yuefeng laughed at herself.

”I don’t know the details very well, but Cooper is celebrating in such a high-profile manner for two reasons,” Jessica responded to Bai Yuefeng, ”The first is that recently, the Cooper Family entrusted him with managing significant business, which in his big family means something you surely understand!”

Bai Yuefeng nodded upon hearing this.

Being from a super family herself, she naturally understood.

In a large family, the heir is not determined by age or seniority, but by ability over inexperience.

Her good friend Wei Xuelian’s family, the famous Wei Family, even groomed a girl to be head of the family, which speaks volumes!

Every family member groomed to be the future head of the family, before becoming the head, must handle important family business as a final test.

It was said that Cooper had already gained the family’s approval, and taking over important family business was his last test before becoming the head.

Of course, the test period could be very long.

This news, added to the birthday.

It’s only natural to celebrate this grandly.

”And the second reason?” Bai Yuefeng asked, seeing Jessica not elaborating further.

”The second reason...” Jessica smiled, shaking her head, ”I’m not sure.”

”If you’re not sure, why bother teasing, making me think you knew everything.” Bai Yuefeng reproached teasingly.

Bai Xiaosheng glanced at the smiling Jessica, his eyes flickering.

He could naturally tell—

This woman wasn’t being entirely truthful!

She knew the second reason, but for some reason, she deliberately didn’t tell Bai Yuefeng.

Bai Xiaosheng certainly wouldn’t stoop to the indignity of telling Bai Yuefeng ”your friend actually knows but isn’t telling you.” That would be beneath him.

While they were talking, they stepped into the hall.

Many in the hall recognized Jessica and Bai Yuefeng; after all, their extraordinary backgrounds and beauty made many people approach them, smiling and greeting the two.

Even Bai Yuefeng had to socialize first.

No matter how independent one might seem outside, in such a setting, Bai Yuefeng had to show the decorum expected of a lady from a wealthy family.

”I’ll take Yuefeng to meet some friends. Feel free to make yourselves comfortable,” Jessica said with a smile, tossing a sentence to Bai Xiaosheng.

To this, Bai Xiaosheng gave a faint smile, nodded, and said, ”Alright.”

Bai Yuefeng wanted to remind Bai Xiaosheng of a few things, but Jessica forcefully dragged her away, and with so many friends surrounding them, she momentarily couldn’t split her attention.

Bai Yuefeng looked at Bai Xiaosheng helplessly and apologetically.

Bai Xiaosheng smiled at her, waved, indicating that she could go socialize without minding them.

Only then did Bai Yuefeng feel at ease and began socializing with Jessica.

In such a setting, the two bodyguards Bai Yuefeng brought couldn’t possibly stick to her side.

Those two went to a corner of the hall, standing with their backs to the wall, keeping their eyes on their young lady to ensure her safety.

With Jessica taking Bai Yuefeng away, Bai Xiaosheng, Lin Weiwei, and Lei Ying received less attention. Even if someone glanced over, they only scrutinized quickly before moving on.

After all, Bai Xiaosheng and the others were quite unfamiliar, neither aristocrats nor big stars.

Not being overly noticed made Bai Xiaosheng and his companions comfortable; they got a drink from a waiter and went to enjoy the performance of the musician’s team.

Occasionally spotting a star of interest, Lin Weiwei would go over to chat, not to chase stars but purely out of curiosity.

There were also people who came over to greet Lin Weiwei from time to time.

Among them were countless noble heirs, movie and music stars.

Lin Weiwei’s looks and demeanor were already enriched with Oriental charm, and after frequenting high-level workplaces, she exuded a unique aura that naturally attracted much attention from men.

Lin Weiwei treated them politely but kept her distance, treating movie and music stars the same way.

After all, Lin Weiwei’s interest in stars was only about their on-screen personas; chatting for a bit to satiate her curiosity was enough without engaging further.

The people themselves were not ordinary, and naturally realized that this beauty was polite yet distant.

The sensible ones naturally wouldn’t presumptively disturb further—it would be pointless.

But in this world, there is never a lack of those who can’t take a hint.

For example, right now, an extremely ordinary-looking guy, covered in freckles, boasting about his extraordinary background, was sticking around Lin Weiwei with a grinning face, speaking without pause.

His name was York.

Lin Weiwei responded half-heartedly, and York didn’t care at all. Seeing whom Lin Weiwei was interested in, he gossiped about them with her.

”That guy comes from a mining family, with abundant resources since his debut, but on a talk show, you know what he said? He claimed to be from an ordinary family and relied on his effort alone, it was laughable. Some said that group of judges were blind, but actually they’re just blinded by money...”

”That one, completely relies on plagiarism, any good song from Huaxia, I assure you, he’ll translate it into English in no time, tsk tsk, such a person should be investigated...”

”This one, this one is amazing, really, his singing and dancing are truly outstanding, but unfortunately, he’s never made it big...”

This York was practically a live ”encyclopedia” of the guests present.

This annoyed Lin Weiwei’s ears, yet she couldn’t resist her curiosity, so she didn’t coldly drive him away.

York wasn’t just revolving around Lin Weiwei but also enthusiastically chatting with Bai Xiaosheng and Lei Ying.

Lei Ying, as usual, listened without reacting, drinking alone.

But Bai Xiaosheng chatted with him, smiling, even proactively inquiring about certain people.

York, seeing his Huaxia friend Bai Xiaosheng sharing a connection with him, was happy to chat more.

At this moment, a commotion arose at the entrance of the hall, and Cooper accompanied a distinguished guest inside.

Everyone present saw this and immediately turned their attention with interest; many even approached with smiles to greet them.

”How much do you know about Cooper?” Bai Xiaosheng suddenly asked York beside him with a smile, ”I’ve heard that this unprecedented banquet today has some significant reasons behind it!”

”Do you know about them?”
