"Oh ho!" Lai Jiansheng grinned, his face wrinkled like tree rings. "I forgot Miss Cheng likes pretty boys. Come on! All of you, go and serve Miss Cheng properly!"
Before Mu Yiran could react, all the male waiters in the private room crowded onto her sofa.
Mu Yiran: "Mr. Lai, let's talk business, not drink. Why don't we get to the point first..."
Lai Jiansheng interrupted her: "Miss Cheng, you must drink this wine, otherwise you're disrespecting me!"
"If you want to talk business, you need to have a few drinks before you can talk anything!"
The man's lingering gaze swept across her face, observing her haughty demeanor.
What are you pretending for!
He knew all along that Cheng Ran was a womanizer, and he was seeing her putting on airs in front of him, but it was precisely this kind of attitude that made Lai Jiansheng even more addicted.
He couldn't wait to see the woman bow down, submit, and flatter him.
A handsome young man in a school uniform held a glass of wine to Mu Yiran's lips. "Miss Cheng."
"..."
Mu Yiran looked at the boy's somewhat similar phoenix eyes, and a surge of anger welled up inside her.
Shi Bianji looked at her with amusement. The longer the woman stared at the boy's face, the more strangely even Li Buhuo's expression became behind her.
Finally, just as Li Bu Huo was about to lose his temper, Mu Yi Ran took the glass of wine and took a small sip.
Tokibe Kijima pressed the shutter, capturing this moment in a photograph.
The boy had a roguish yet sunny smile. Seeing that she had drunk it, he immediately asked, "Does big sister like it?"
"This specially blended Margarita is just as sexy and—"
"Clatter." The cup fell to the ground and spilled onto the carpet.
" roll."
"……What?"
Everyone around was stunned. The woman leaned back on the sofa, a slight smile playing on her lips. "This wine is no good, and the person is stupid too."
Mu Yiran scoffed, "You don't even know how to offer a toast? Did I come here to hear your opinion of me?"
The boy's face turned pale, and he looked at Lai Jiansheng pleadingly, "I...I'm sorry..."
Mu Yiran said to Lai Jiansheng, but her eyes were on Shi Bianji.
“Mr. Lai, if you want to play in the future, I can introduce you to a few places, better quality ones, with sensible people, not these run-down places that just anyone can come to.”
"Miss Cheng, what do you mean by this?" Lai Jiansheng immediately stood up, his eyes darkening as he sneered, "Are you looking down on the place I chose, or on me as a person?!"
Mu Yiran shrugged: "You all look down on me!"
"..."
What do you mean by "all"? Seriously?!
She gestured to Lawyer Hong, who then placed the document in front of Lai Jiansheng and unfolded it; it contained a contract.
"I don't have the habit of drinking before work, Mr. Lai. The contract is right here. Don't drag it out. If you're quick on your feet, I'll offer you a toast..."
Lai Jiansheng flipped the XO on the table over and poured it onto the contract, soaking the paper with the liquor.
He opened a video on his phone and slammed it on the table. The video showed the scene from that afternoon when Mu Yiran led the way in faking death.
Lai Jiansheng retorted angrily, "Do you even have the right to talk to me?! Don't push your luck. Giving you a drink is giving you a chance!"
"If I release this video, the government will arrest you, right?!"
"You think you can look down on me just because you can give me a few stinking coins?!"
Cheng Ran's words were like slaps in the face to him. Eager to get back at Shi Bianji and those government officials, he picked up a bottle of XO and approached Mu Yiran.
Lai Jiansheng stared lecherously at the woman's red lips and collarbone.
"Either I feed you, or you feed me. Only if you make me happy will I consider signing!"
Hearing this, Xiaotian, who was behind him, immediately grabbed Lai Jiansheng and said, "So you really have your eye on this woman, Lai Jiansheng! You dare to sleep with someone else right in front of me! I'll expose our affair!"
Mu Yiran looked at the exciting prime-time drama in front of her and shook her head with a tsk tsk.
She just provoked them a little, and before she even did anything, they started fighting amongst themselves.
Shi Bianji, who was on the other side, did not expect that Lai Jiansheng would be so stupid that he could not even keep things in check. He ordered the male servant next to him to go up and pull Xiaotian away.
Lai Jiansheng shook his arm and cursed under his breath, "Dare to say that? I'll make you the first one to die!"
As the alcohol took effect, Lai Jiansheng's ugly face was fully exposed. He tugged at his belt and said, "I've slept with way too many women. Since you're here to have fun, don't give me that fake look! If you're having a good time with me, anything is fine!"
Hong Lu, who was behind him, couldn't stand it anymore and pointed at him, cursing, "Show some respect for your mouth!"
Lai Jiansheng chuckled and ordered several burly male servants to restrain Hong Lu and Li Buhuo.
Mu Yiran's arm was also pulled, and she shook her head lightly: "Lai Jiansheng, I've had a proper talk with you..."
"Stop talking nonsense!" He walked over excitedly, and Mu Yiran grabbed an empty wine bottle and smashed it in his face!
The bottle grazed his face and fell to the ground.
The sound of breaking was like a signal; the next second, the door to the private room rattled.
Before anyone could react, the door was violently kicked open!
The crowd poured in and instantly filled the private room.
An elderly man with a scar on his face stepped out from among the burly henchmen. His gaze shifted from Mu Yiran on the sofa to Lai Jiansheng and Xiaotian.
The old man sneered, "Jiansheng, you're a real beast!"
Just one sentence made Lai Jiansheng's forehead tighten, and he stammered, "Dad?!"
Meanwhile, the officials in the corner, including Shi Bianji, finally realized something was wrong and ran out through the hidden door of the private room's restroom.
Mu Yiran couldn't muster the strength to break free from the person holding her, and just as she called out, "Ai Ni!"
A teenager stepped out from behind the henchmen and kicked away the person grabbing Mu Yiran.
The kick was extremely heavy, sending the person crashing onto the crystal table with a loud bang!
But Mu Yiran ignored everyone else and just stared blankly at the boy in front of her.
"Shi Youxi?!"
What's this guy doing here?!
Wasn't it Ai Ni who brought people here?
The boy's face was full of hostility, his jaw was clenched and he didn't speak. He pulled the woman into his arms and tried to take her away.
