Chapter 1: Night of Debauchery
The top night bar, Yunque Box, is isolated from the deafening noise downstairs.
Outside the huge floor-to-ceiling windows is the city’s dazzling and luxurious night view with neon lights flowing.
The air was thick with the richness of cigars, the aroma of whiskey, and the careless indulgence of the powerful.
In the center of the box, four men were slumped in a huge circular sofa. The name of each of them was enough to make the city tremble.
Gu Chengyu is the prince of the Gu Group and the future ruler.
He sat leaning back in the middle seat, his long legs wrapped in trousers casually crossed.
He was wearing only a black shirt with two buttons undone at the collar, revealing a small area of his firm chest.
He held a half-burned cigar between his fingers, his handsome and aggressive face expressionless, looking uninterested.
"Tsk, Cheng Yu."
The speaker was Shen Que, the second young master of the Shen family's media empire, and one of the real behind-the-scenes financiers in the entertainment industry.
"Our Prince Gu has always been invincible, able to turn the tide of change with a wave of his hand. But today, he was pecked in the eye by his own canary?"
"puff--!"
Qin Yu, who was hugging a young model, almost spit out his wine and looked at Gu Chengyu, "Is this real Chengyu? Lin Shu? Would she dare to peck you?"
"Hasn't she always been very well behaved?"
The young model in his arms also covered her mouth and chuckled, but her eyes secretly glanced at the man who had an intimidating aura even in silence.
Even Zhou Yu'an, who was sitting on the single sofa in the corner, raised his eyes.
He wore a pair of gold-rimmed glasses on his nose, looking elegant and refined.
Gu Chengyu glanced at Shen Que coldly and said nothing.
He just took a deep puff of the cigar, letting the spicy smoke swirl in his mouth before slowly exhaling.
The Shen family is a giant that controls the global entertainment industry. As the heir of the Shen family, Shen Que is naturally the most informed.
He put down his glass and leaned forward, his face showing a look of gloating without hiding it: "It was last night, our drinking party at Lanting, and the news reached the ears of the big star."
"Tsk tsk, those new models sent by the subordinates are so tender that you can squeeze water out of them."
"Cheng Yu naturally had a great time and didn't come home all night."
Qin Yu was a little surprised: "What's wrong? Isn't it always like this?"
Chen Que gave Qin Yu a calming look and continued, "If this had happened before, our beautiful lady Lin would have had a great sense of propriety and would have positioned herself correctly."
"I didn't dare to make more than one phone call, for fear of disturbing Cheng Yu's leisure time."
"But what about this time? Hey!"
Chen Que slapped his thigh and raised his voice: "This afternoon, someone rushed directly to Cheng Yu's office!"
"She wasn't crying or making a fuss. She just wanted to terminate the contract! Clean and simple!"
"What's even more amazing is..."
He deliberately dragged out his tone, watching Gu Chengyu's increasingly gloomy expression, before he slowly said, "She even gave Chengyu a card! She said it was the money for breach of contract, and she will compensate you every penny!"
"Cheng Yu, your canary is trying to buy its freedom. I want to settle this with you!"
“Hahahaha!”
Qin Yu couldn't hold it in any longer and burst out laughing, not even caring about the young model in her arms. She pointed at Gu Chengyu and said, "Oh my god! Chengyu, you have come to this day too?"
"Being paid off by a woman? Or being the canary you raised?"
"If this gets out, where will our Crown Prince put his face? Hahaha!"
Gu Chengyu remembered the card that was stuffed into his hand and the signed termination agreement.
When the woman handed it to him, those beautiful eyes that were always filled with admiration and tenderness, for the first time, lost that cautious admiration, leaving only a calmness and determination that was extremely unfamiliar to him.
Qin Yu restrained his smile and calmly analyzed: "Lin Shu's move is to retreat in order to advance."
"I'm afraid he calculated that you still have some novelty in your feelings towards her, and he's also certain that your pride as Young Master Gu can't stand this."
"Then she's miscalculated." It was Zhou Yu'an who spoke. The Zhou family was a medical giant, and Zhou Yu'an himself had a gentle and elegant temperament.
But those who know him well know that beneath this warmth lies a coldness.
His voice was gentle. "When has Cheng Yu ever been short of beauties? Lin Shu is pretty and smart enough, but her family background..."
Zhou Yu'an shook his head slightly and didn't finish his words, but his meaning was clear.
The person Gu Chengyu will eventually marry will only be a well-matched socialite.
No matter how famous Lin Shu is, she is just an actress.
Shen Que looked at Gu Chengyu, who had an ugly expression, and added fuel to the fire: "Chengyu, tell me, how do you feel?"
"How does it feel to be pecked back by the bird you're best at taming?"
Gu Chengyu slammed the cigar into the ashtray.
He raised his eyes, and his deep almond-shaped eyes swept over his three friends, finally fixing on Shen Que's face.
His thin lips curled up in an arrogant arc, and his voice was low, with an offended anger: "Feeling?"
"It's just a toy."
"Thing?" Shen Que raised his eyebrows, obviously not believing it.
"Who in the circle doesn't know that she is your favorite? Many people who want to touch her have to consider your weight, Gu Chengyu."
"She's making such a scene now, isn't that a slap in your face?"
"The key is, where does she get the confidence from? It's all given by you."
Gu Chengyu leaned back slightly, revealing his inherent arrogance:
"Qin Yu is right. It's just a common trick used by women to increase their status."
"But since she wants to play, I'll play with her and see what she can come up with."
Gu Chengyu sat up straight, picked up the wine glass on the table and drank it all in one gulp.
His Adam's apple rolled sexily, and his voice was tinged with a hint of intimacy and determination to win: "Chen Que, let's make a bet?"
"For two months, I made her come back to beg me willingly."
The atmosphere in the box became even hotter and more exciting.
"Bet! We must bet!"
Qin Yu was the first to jump up, fearing chaos would break out. "With Cheng Yu taking action, there's no reason why it won't work! I'm betting on Cheng Yu to win! Any bets!"
Chen Que smiled like an old fox, his eyes gleaming: "Of course we have to gamble! But Cheng Yu, the bet..."
"I heard you just bought that piece of land in South Bay? I want the priority cooperation rights for its future resort project. How about that?"
"make a deal."
