Chapter 479 Taboo (Part 1)



"Lou Xiangwan, do you have any shame? If I were you, I would jump off this building right now, so as not to embarrass myself in this world and make my family unable to hold their heads up in public!"

"Hmph, family? All you do is find fault with me. If you hate me so much, why keep me in this house? Just go to court and sever ties, won't that be enough? Stop putting on this pretentious act of doing what's best for me, it disgusts me!"

"You—if you have the guts, never let me see you again!"

"Okay! You said it yourself."

Xiang Wan flicked the stray hairs that drooped to the corners of her eyes, raised her hand to touch the titanium alloy earring on her earlobe, a cold smile on her lips, and strode away without looking back.

The person behind him angrily flicked his sleeve and walked away in the other direction, his whole body radiating rage.

It was obvious how angry her actions would make him. But she had no choice; if she didn't shake him off, she couldn't get what she was doing next.

Having been in this world for quite some time, Xiang Wan took some time to adjust to her new identity.

She accepted being dressed as a man again.

However, dressing up as the top host at a male escort club was something she found hard to accept.

What is a top performer? A living advertisement!

This means that someone of her status must make a living by charming rich women, and may even have to offer herself to them when necessary.

Honestly, she doesn't like this kind of job at all!

Some women can be even crazier than men when they want to have fun, but with her small frame, she can't handle the stress.

So she took leave, hoping to recover before returning to work. As a result, she hasn't been able to leave the house for the past few days.

That's right, the man who just argued with her, the one who looks respectable and has an elite air about him, is this body's half-brother.

Isn't it strange? That man named Lou Junxuan is actually the original owner's brother.

It's not uncommon for two brothers to quarrel and even resort to violence at the slightest disagreement. However, I've never seen anyone like Lou Junxuan, who is both extremely vicious and sarcastic in front of the original owner, and yet appears in time to rescue him from danger when the original owner is in trouble.

The two are ten years apart in age. If they weren't really brothers, Xiang Wan would have suspected that Lou Junxuan was the original owner's hidden biological father.

The Lou family business is renowned throughout the country and even abroad. Lou Junxuan is the only legal heir to the Lou family business, while Lou Xiangwan is nothing more than a pitiful wretch who sells her smiles and body.

No one would believe they were brothers, but that's exactly the truth.

Lou Junxuan was born to the legal wife, while Lou Xiangwan was just an illegitimate child who appeared out of nowhere.

When he was ten years old, his birth mother died of illness, and he was told to take the keepsake to Lou Jing himself.

One can imagine what kind of treatment such a lonely, rebellious child would receive.

The original owner was an unacknowledged shadow, with no presence in the Lou family, yet Lou Junxuan micromanaged him. In the end, for some unknown reason, the original owner offended this so-called older brother, who cut off his financial support, threatening that he would not receive a single penny of living expenses unless he reformed.

From desperately wanting Lou Jing's approval to being kicked out in the end, the original owner only took half a year.

Lou Xiangwan is only in her early twenties and hasn't even finished university yet, but she has to find a job to support herself.

Even if it's not about the steamed bun, it's about pride. Besides, the original owner didn't want to drop out of school. Top universities are expensive, and he had to rely on his own efforts to finish his studies.

Ironically, no matter what he did, his boss could always find fault with him and then fire him.

By chance, he ended up at his current company, a male model club in a nightclub.

To put it nicely, they're recruiting male models; to put it bluntly, they're recruiting gigolos.

The original owner was good-looking because of the genes from the Lou family and his birth mother.

In addition to his good looks, he also had a bit of an unruly attitude, so women flocked to him, and quite a few men were eyeing him.

However, the original owner only entertained female guests because he was a typical straight man.

This time, he worked part-time for a longer period without being fired, and even rose to the top position, which covered his living expenses and tuition fees.

Later, the original owner also thought about it. The reason he wasn't fired was probably because the club wasn't afraid of pressure from the Lou family, and also because he had indeed done a good job.

Lou Junxuan couldn't cause trouble for the male model club, so he went directly to the original owner of this body.

Unfortunately, Xiang Wan wasn't buying it.

She has a date tonight.

The phone rang, and Manager Bai's gentle yet authoritative voice sounded in her ear.

"Lou Zhaopai, you're not planning to stand me up, are you? Let me tell you, you can't be willful today. The person coming here is very important. A little bit of what they give is enough to cover our club's expenses for three years. You're our ace. As long as you do well, you can do whatever you want from now on, okay?"

"Sister, please don't be so polite to me, it's giving me goosebumps."

"Go away, go away, I shouldn't have wasted my breath talking to you. Come on, or not, hurry up."

"Such a good thing, of course I'm coming. But could you repeat what you just said? I'll record it as evidence."

"Go to hell! Get over here right now!"

The busy signal came through. Xiang Wan smiled, put her phone in her pocket, skillfully stubbed out her cigarette, hailed a taxi, and headed straight for the White Horse Nightclub.

Upon hearing about this place, the driver glanced subtly at the rearview mirror, a fleeting look of disdain in his eyes.

Drivers like them have long since developed a keen eye for detail; they've seen all sorts of people. Seeing someone like Xiang Wan, with her delicate skin and attractive appearance, he could guess what her profession was.

He earns more in one night than he does in a year. He makes money quickly and easily. He can't be envious; all that's left is jealousy and contempt.

How could Xiang Wan not realize that as a consumer, she couldn't possibly make herself unhappy after spending money?

"Driver, have you ever kept any pets?"

"No, I don't have the time."

"Then I advise you not to keep one. I have a friend who had a parrot and a cat. They were getting along quite well at first, but one day, my friend gave the cat a fish in front of the parrot, and guess what? The parrot died within two days. Do you know why?"

Are you hungry?

"The parrot is so petty. It doesn't deserve what it wants, but it insists on thinking about it. And to make matters worse, it imagines all sorts of things and ends up making itself so angry it dies. Tell me, how unworthy is that? Cats can catch mice and be cute, while parrots are all talk and no action, yet it expects equal pay. It doesn't even know if it can handle the demands."

The driver hesitated for a moment, then glanced at Xiang Wan's ambiguous smile in the rearview mirror and awkwardly shut his mouth.

You can subtly insult him for being petty, but you can't talk back, since he didn't name names. Besides, he was the one who provoked you first; if you get a complaint, he'll have worked for nothing all day.

You really can't afford to offend this guest; he has elderly parents and young children to support, so you can't just do whatever you want.

But getting him to apologize is absolutely out of the question; at most, he can at least be a little more respectful.

The driver focused on driving, so Xiang Wan ignored him and took out her phone to look at the information Bai Lulu had sent her.
