A polymath synth artist defies her parents' plans by casting a scarlet fingernail into a nest of mummified womb-senators.
Upon its removal, the urn erupts, seven scaly impure miners surge...
The lewd smile vanished, replaced by sarcasm. "What's so great about you? You're just a promiscuous woman. You'll sleep with whoever pays you. What? You think I'm broke?"
After saying that, the man quickly took out his wallet, held up a wad of cash, and said, "Is that enough? Come on, sing me a song."
Gu Zhiheng's eyes gradually turned cold, but he remained silent.
Xu Yan felt insulted by this place, and in anger, she grabbed her bag and tried to leave. Just as she reached the door, another man stopped her and dragged her back to Gu Zhiheng.
"Mr. Gu, you're not being honest with your woman, are you?"
Gu Zhiheng's eyes were cold, but his mouth held a mocking smile.
"She's used to being free and easy, so I'm here today to broaden her horizons."
Upon hearing this, Xu Yan burst into a tirade: "Even if you want to mess with me, you don't need to resort to such despicable methods, do you?"
"How am I being despicable?" He smiled at her, seemingly casually.
Xu Yan turned her face away, avoiding his gaze. That face was the ultimate temptation, and she didn't want to see it.
Her chest heaved, and her voice was slightly trembling with fear, "You brought me here just to humiliate me, didn't you?"
He's already succeeded, so why won't he let her go? Does he want to see her continue to embarrass herself here?
It was absolutely terrifying; she almost didn't recognize him anymore.
Gu Zhiheng said, "Why can't I satirize people who have nothing to do with me?"
Xu Yan froze on the spot after hearing that sentence. She and he really had nothing to do with each other anymore. She was the one who proposed the divorce, so it was no wonder he said that.
She forced a fake smile, "Even if it has nothing to do with you, you shouldn't humiliate me like this."
"But you've seen it yourself; in the face of reality, you're only destined to be humiliated!"
What a sharp remark, it felt as if it were draining all the blood from her heart.
The misunderstanding had run so deep, so painful. He had come to hate her so much.
ridiculous!
The sleazy man chimed in again, "Mr. Gu, I think a woman who dares to talk back to you like this deserves to be taught a lesson!"
Gu Zhi raised an eyebrow and asked, "How should I teach him a lesson?"
The lewd man seemed even more excited. "I'll get a few brothers to take her home and teach her a lesson. I guarantee they'll make sure she's completely submissive."
Gu Zhiheng's face contorted with rage, and he said, "My woman is none of your concern."
The two men were completely taken aback by Gu Zhiheng's response. They had assumed the woman was just a hostess or someone involved in shady dealings, so why was Gu Zhiheng defending her? This simply didn't make sense.
"Mr. Gu, the dishes are all prepared. Why don't you come and have some? We can discuss the specifics of this cooperation."
Gu Zhiheng stood up with a cold face and sat in the main seat.
"What are you still standing there for? Come over and offer a toast!" Gu Zhiheng yelled at Xu Yan.
Xu Yan found him utterly unreasonable. He actually wanted her to accompany him for drinks?
Xu Yan thought she would satisfy him first and then get her revenge when she got back. But then she went over and toasted Gu Zhiheng one by one, and only then did she toast the two men.
"It would be even better if someone danced right now," one of the men said while drinking.
Xu Yan really wanted to spit into his cup, but she held back for the sake of her image.
Gu Zhiheng remained silent with a sullen face. From their conversation, Xu Yan could roughly guess that Gu Zhiheng had come to discuss cooperation with them. As for why they brought her along, it was probably to humiliate those two men.
