"Thank you?" Lan Qingyue repeated the two words sarcastically. If she could beat these three tall and strong men, she would have really rushed over and punched them. Judging from their sleazy appearance, their eldest brother must be even more sleazy.
Besides, who told them to pay? Shameless!
"Yes, young lady, a simple thank you is enough. Our boss is very generous and often pays for girls. You two are lucky."
"Nobody believes you. You always pay for girls because you're after them, right?" Lan Qingyue couldn't help but roll her eyes.
Chu Ying thought for a moment and said, "How about this, I'll give you the money first, and you can give it to your eldest brother. We'll talk about the rest later."
Once those three men go upstairs, she and Lan Qingyue can run away. Anyway, they're wearing heavy makeup, so even if they take it off, no one will recognize them, and there's nothing to worry about.
“Young lady, this isn’t appropriate.” The man who had been talking to them seemed to have seen through Chu Ying’s thoughts. He stood up from between the two men and walked towards them unhurriedly. The sound of his leather shoes on the wooden floor was particularly dull, like a heavy hammer striking Lan Qingyue’s heart again and again. With each step he took closer, Lan Qingyue’s heart would tremble.
"Our older brother paid for your drinks, so what's wrong with you going up to thank him? By the way, do you know how much you drank?"
"What business is it of yours how much it costs!" Lan Qingyue thought to herself, silently calculating in her mind, but she didn't know the price range of various wines and couldn't figure it out.
"Thirty-nine thousand one hundred and sixty." Chu Ying said without changing her expression. The more than thirty thousand yuan for drinks came out of her mouth as if she were talking about a string of unimportant numbers. Lan Qingyue touched his chin in surprise. Drinking money was all about money.
"Hey, not bad." The man raised an eyebrow and clapped perfunctorily. His not-so-smooth face suddenly came closer. Before he even spoke, there was a mixture of alcohol and bad breath. Chu Ying felt a little nauseous and almost couldn't help but gag. Her eyes were filled with indifference, something that came from the very core of her being.
"Since you know this wine is so expensive, and our boss generously paid over 30,000 yuan, it's only right that you come upstairs with us to thank him. Brothers, don't you agree?"
"Yes, yes, we must thank you." The two men behind them echoed loudly, and the three of them suddenly burst into cheerful laughter, as if mocking the two ignorant and arrogant young girls.
"We can express our gratitude, but we won't go upstairs. If your brother doesn't want money and just wants the words 'thank you,' then please ask him to come downstairs."
Chu Ying gripped Lan Qingyue's hand tightly, avoided the three men, and returned to their original seats. She crossed her legs casually, her attitude resolute, as if to say, "No matter what you say, we won't go upstairs."
The three men looked at each other, and the one in the lead looked up at the second floor. He seemed to have spotted someone, and immediately gave the other two a meaningful look. The other two nodded, turned around, and ran upstairs, leaving only the leader staring at them menacingly.
Lan Qingyue's heart pounded faster and faster. Her palms felt sticky, and she couldn't tell if it was her sweat or Chu Ying's. The man's gaze deepened, intensifying her fear. She pressed her fingers against Chu Ying's palm, and Chu Ying casually met her gaze...
