Chapter 345 Why is she here?
That night, Cui Hao hesitated again and again and appeared at the door of the bar again.
If it weren't for the surveillance video and what the woman said, all pointing to him being the one who initiated everything that happened last night, he might never want to see that woman again in his life.
In the end, he was wrong to Nan Yan and also hurt the woman he had never met before.
It's time to understand this matter.
In fact, he had another purpose for coming here today. Because he was too shocked in the morning, he didn't see the woman's face clearly, and didn't understand what kind of person she was. So he wanted to come and see tonight what kind of magic that woman had that could make his self-control, which he was proud of, collapse instantly when he saw her.
Cui Hao looked at the bar sign, and his mood had completely changed.
If he didn't know Su Yun's name and contact information, he might never set foot here again.
Because every time he stepped into this place, he would remember his worst side, the side that even he hated.
He took a deep breath and pushed open the heavy glass door.
Deafening waves of music hit me in the face, and colorful spotlights intertwined in the smoke.
Cui Hao narrowed his eyes and scanned the crowded dance floor.
The bar was dimly lit and it was not easy to find anyone.
Just as Cui Hao was about to ask the waiter, he suddenly caught a glimpse of a familiar silhouette out of the corner of his eye.
Cui Hao was stunned and his heart skipped a beat.
That fleeting silhouette looked very much like Mu Nanyan.
Is that Nan Yan? Why is she here?
Cui Hao suddenly pushed through the crowd and rushed in that direction like a madman, ignoring the disgusted looks and whispered curses from the people around him.
But when he squeezed through the bustling crowd and arrived at that location, the figure had already disappeared.
He stood there, his eyes eagerly scanning every similar back on the dance floor, but under the flickering lights, there were only unfamiliar faces and swaying figures.
He took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down.
It's not her, I must have seen it wrong.
How could Nan Yan appear in such a place? Besides, she should be in Haicheng now, not Jingcheng.
Yes, it must be an illusion.
He clenched his fists and turned to the bar.
The waiter was wiping the wine glasses. When he saw him approaching, he looked up politely.
"Last night, I booked a private room at your place. Who was the girl serving drinks with me? Do you remember?"
The waiter smiled apologetically:
"I'm sorry, sir. We receive a lot of guests every day, and I can't quite remember who it was... But since you've booked a private room, could you tell me your name and I'll check the records for you?"
"Cui Hao."
"Okay, please wait."
The waiter quickly operated on the computer and quickly retrieved the records:
"Sir, the person serving drinks in the private room number five that you booked yesterday is Su Yun."
Cui Hao's eyes dimmed slightly. He tapped his knuckles twice on the bar, then pulled out a black card and handed it over.
"Book another private room, still for her."
The waiter smiled even more and took the card with both hands:
"Okay, we'll arrange it right away."
She quickly completed the formalities and said respectfully:
"I'll have someone take you there first, and then contact Su Yun to come over later."
"Um."
Cui Hao responded coldly and followed the waiter to the private room.
Pushing the door open, the familiar smell of alcohol and dim light made his temples throb.
He sat down on the sofa, staring at the unopened bottle of wine on the table, motionless.
Tonight, he would never make the same mistake again.
Su Yun's business is particularly slow today.
She came back from the bathroom and sat bored in the lounge at the back, watching other hostesses coming in and out, one order after another, but no one was interested in her.
She bit her lip and was about to take the initiative and try her luck on the dance floor, but was suddenly stopped by the manager:
"Su Yun, a guest has asked you to accompany him for drinks."
Her eyes lit up and she was secretly happy, but also a little confused.
Who asked her out for a drink? Why didn't he send her a message in advance?
She adjusted the hem of her skirt and walked towards the box in high heels. The moment she opened the door, a smile froze on her face.
It’s Cui Hao. Why is he here?
Her heart suddenly shrank, and countless thoughts flashed through her mind:
Was he here to settle a score, or to warn her?
She quickly adjusted her expression, her eyes turned cold, and her tone was deliberately distant:
"Why is it you?"
She disguised herself as a victim and was very unwilling to pay attention to him.
After she finished speaking, she turned around and made a gesture to leave, wishing she could escape from this place immediately.
"Wait!" Cui Hao's voice came from behind.
Her fingertips trembled slightly and her heart beat like a drum, but she had to stop.
"Turn around."
There was something strange in his voice.
The moment Su Yun appeared at the door of the box, Cui Hao noticed her.
Due to the dim light, he was not sure if he was seeing things.
He seemed to see Mu Nanyan. No, she was not Mu Nanyan, she just looked very similar to her.
Because their dressing styles are completely different.
Mu Nanyan likes to wear warm-toned, conservative clothes.
But the woman in front of me was wearing a red suspender top on the upper body and a miniskirt on the lower body, paired with black stockings and a pair of high heels.
Expose your good figure clearly.
Su Yun took a deep breath and slowly turned around. His eyes were red and his voice was filled with grievance:
"Don't you want to take responsibility? Why are you looking for me now?"
Cui Hao seemed not to hear her words. He walked straight up to her, his eyes fixed on her face.
So similar.
In the dim light of the box, her heavily made-up face looked 80% similar to Mu Nanyan at first glance.
Cui Hao's breathing stagnated slightly, and he finally understood why he lost control last night. He was drunk and mistook her for Mu Nanyan.
But how could there be two people in the world who are so similar?
His brows were furrowed, his thoughts swirling.
Could they be sisters? But Mu Nanyan never mentioned that she had other relatives. Even her grandparents were only recognized later.
Is it really just a coincidence?
Seeing him staring at her in a daze, Su Yun felt even more uneasy, and her fingers unconsciously tightened the hem of her skirt.
Su Yun felt uncomfortable under his gaze, his chest heaving violently, and his voice was filled with deliberate anger:
"Why are you looking at me?! If you don't say anything I'm leaving!"
Cui Hao finally woke up from his dream, his Adam's apple rolled, and his voice was low:
"What happened last night...I'm sorry for you. I can give you some money as compensation, or if you have any other requests, I will do my best..."
Su Yun was stunned.
He's actually apologizing?
So he wasn't here to call her to task, but to compensate her?
This sudden change left her unable to react for a while.
When she heard the word "compensation", her eyes subconsciously lit up, but she quickly suppressed it.
One million? Two million?
She has been in this business for so long that she naturally knows the market conditions.
For those private transactions, the maximum amount is 500,000. Considering Cui Hao's wealth, giving him one or two million should not be a problem.
But...this is far from enough.
She wants more than just this little money.
“That’s enough!”
Su Yun suddenly raised his voice, his voice trembling:
"Is this the kind of person I am in your eyes? I never thought about making money from this! You are insulting me..."
Her tears came suddenly and her eyes were red in an instant.
Her performance was perfect, her shoulders trembling slightly, her fingers tightly clutching the hem of her skirt, and even the rhythm of her sobs was controlled just right.
It’s a pity that Su Yun didn’t become an actor. She really acted one thing in front of people and another behind their backs to perfection.
Unfortunately, Cui Hao was completely unable to see through her disguise.
He has always been a man of integrity and knows little about the twists and turns of nightclubs. Moreover, Su Yun's tearful appearance at the moment, coupled with a face that is almost indistinguishable from Mu Nanyan, completely made him lose his judgment.
In his eyes, the girl in front of him had become a pitiful person who was forced to fall into prostitution due to life's pressure.
Those deliberately shed tears became the grievance of having his self-esteem trampled upon in his eyes.
The dim light in the box cast shadows on his well-defined face, making it difficult to see his expression.
Only those deep eyes were always fixed on Su Yun. After a while, he slowly spoke in a low voice:
"So what do you want?"
These five simple words made the air freeze instantly.
His tone was eerily calm, with neither contempt nor pity, as if he was discussing an ordinary business matter.
Su Yun's heart skipped a beat. She didn't expect Cui Hao to be so direct, and she didn't expect him to hand the initiative over to her.
This is an opportunity.
She quietly clutched the hem of her skirt, tears still welling up in her eyes, but she was already thinking quickly in her mind.
What she wanted was nothing more than Cui Hao, but now was not the right time. If she said it directly, it would inevitably arouse Cui Hao's suspicion.
Su Yun raised her tearful face, her lips trembling slightly, as if she had made a great decision before speaking:
"I...I just want a chance to start over."
Cui Hao's eyes moved slightly.
She wiped her tears with a wry smile and continued:
"I've long wanted to stop staying in this place, but what else can someone like me do besides serving drinks?"
Her fingers twisted the hem of her skirt unconsciously.
"If you really want to make it up to me...can you take me out of here?"
The air was quiet for a few seconds.
Cui Hao's eyes wandered over her, and he suddenly spoke:
"Is this outfit a requirement of the bar?"
Su Yun was stunned. The sudden change of topic caught her off guard.
She subconsciously looked down at herself, at the tight red suspenders, the skirt that was so short that it barely covered anything, and the pair of legs in stiletto heels.
This outfit was indeed provided by the bar, but it was a style she carefully selected.
Don’t all the old men who come here often like this?
"Well... company regulations require us to dress like this when we go to work..."
Her eyes flickered and her fingers unconsciously twisted the hem of her skirt.
"Go take your makeup off and change into your own clothes."
Cui Hao said coldly, turned around and sat back on the sofa, tapping his slender fingers on his knees, obviously waiting for her.
When Su Yun heard this, his eyes lit up instantly. Did he agree?
"good!"
Su Yun responded with a smile, then quickly left the box and went to the lounge at the back.
In the lounge, Su Yun was frantically rummaging through the dazzling array of clothes on the hangers.
The revealing uniforms were thrown to the ground one by one. She bit her lip and thought, what kind does he like?
Doctor...should prefer pure style, right?
But when she picked up a white dress, she threw it away in disgust. It was not that she didn't want to pretend to be pure, but it was just too easy to be exposed.
Ultimately, she chose a black sleeveless tank top paired with a lace miniskirt, accessorizing with pearl earrings and a simple pendant.
While removing her makeup, she stared at her increasingly clear face in the mirror, and suddenly realized something, so her technique became gentler.
When she put on makeup again, she only used the lightest foundation and her eyeliner was barely visible.
The woman in the mirror changed her temperament instantly, becoming clean, generous, yet charming.
She spun around in satisfaction, her silver cloud-like body gleaming in the light.
After everything was cleaned up and confirmed to be without problems, Su Yun left the lounge and went to the box.
When Su Yun pushed open the door of the box again, Cui Hao was looking down at his phone screen.
Hearing the sound, he raised his eyes casually, and his breathing stopped in an instant.
The woman in front of me seemed to have been reborn.
Her face is beautiful without heavy makeup, the black vest outlines her slender waistline, and the skin faintly visible under the lace skirt shines with a pearly luster under the light.
What shocked him the most was that at this moment Su Yun's expression and behavior were 90% similar to Mu Nanyan's.
Cui Hao's fingertips tightened unconsciously, and a crack appeared on the phone screen.
Was this a joke from heaven? Sending him a living substitute at his most painful moment?
"Why? Doesn't it look good?"
Su Yun pretended to be nervous and stroked the hem of her skirt, but when she caught a glimpse of his dazed eyes, a smile of confidence flashed across her eyes.
She secretly took note of this outfit, and it turned out that he liked it.
"Let's go."
Cui Hao suddenly stood up and strode towards him, bringing with him a cold scent of perfume.
"ah?"
Su Yun showed a confused expression at just the right moment, and his eyelashes trembled like a frightened deer.
Cui Hao's Adam's apple rolled:
"Don't you want to leave here?"
When Cui Hao heard Su Yun say this before, he actually wanted to refuse, but now he changed his mind.
He really couldn't accept seeing this woman in front of him with a face similar to Mu Nanyan working in such a place.
He found it an eyesore just by looking at it.
"Thanks……"
Su Yun looked at him with gratitude on his face.
An hour later, in the presidential suite, Su Yun stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window.
The height of the twenty-eighth floor made the lights of the entire city crawl at her feet, and the glass reflected her delicate profile.
Cui Hao's voice came from behind, with a deliberate sense of distance:
"You stay here first, I'll arrange your work."
"Why are you so nice to me?"
She turned around suddenly, and the neon lights outside the window cast a soft glow on her outline.
Cui Hao's gaze lingered on her face for too long.
It was so long that Su Yun thought he was about to see through his tricks. He finally looked away and said in a voice as light as a sigh:
"Just consider it...compensation for you."
