Sasha's words pushed Yu Sheng's restrained emotions to the extreme, and she grabbed the wine bottle in front of her and smashed it fiercely.
The loud noise startled Sasha, making her sober up a bit. She looked timidly at Yu Sheng, who coldly snorted, "Get out!"
Sasha didn't know what had happened. Seeing that Yu Sheng was in a bad mood, she didn't dare to ask any more questions and left with the money.
As soon as she stepped out of the private room, she saw Daniel standing at the door.
Sasha and Daniel were old acquaintances. When she saw him, she didn't hesitate and asked directly, "Your brother came here for me today, right?"
Shang Yan squinted at Sasha, his voice languid: "Why do you say that?"
“Other men come here to pay for pleasure, but she comes here to pay me to drink, two thousand yuan a glass…”
Sasha held up the two stacks of money in her hand. "This is all I earned from drinking. At first, I thought he was sent by one of my enemies to mess with me, but just now..."
She first asked when you came to see me, and then she asked if I had ever mentioned your wife to you. I was quite drunk at the time and didn't understand what she meant. I just answered whatever she asked. But then I suddenly sobered up and realized something was wrong!
Sasha raised an eyebrow and smiled, "Your wife probably found out you were cheating on her and sent him here specifically to investigate, didn't she?"
Shang Yan looked at Sasha with cold, sharp eyes, and said mockingly, "You're quite clever!"
He spoke in his own voice, and Sasha's face immediately changed. She stammered, "You...you...aren't...Daniel?"
Shang Yan smiled and said, "I am indeed not Daniel."
Sasha looked at the man in front of her warily: "Who are you? Why are you impersonating Daniel?"
Shang Yan beckoned to Sasha, and after Sasha came over, Shang Yan said, "Do you know who the crown prince of the Beijing circle is?"
Sasha's wariness turned into shock and disbelief. Before she could utter the word 'Shang,' Shang Yan made a shushing gesture and said in a voice only the two of them could hear:
“That’s right, I am Shang Yan! Why am I dressed as Daniel? I can’t tell you the reason, but I suggest you forget about my brother and me coming here tonight, otherwise—you know what will happen…”
Shang Yan's voice was as soothing as a quietly flowing river from beginning to end, but the high pressure and authority he exuded were chilling and intimidating. Even Sasha dared not look him in the eye. She lowered her eyes and nodded with a face full of fear.
Sasha's ability to recognize the opportune moment was exactly what Shang Yan had predicted; most of the girls in this line of work were impoverished girls with no other options.
They live at the very bottom of society, but the men who come here for pleasure are all from the upper class at the top of the pyramid.
Those people are not only rich but also powerful; they can make someone wish they were dead with a flick of their finger. She must have witnessed it firsthand.
Therefore, whether it's Daniel, Sister Hong, or Shang Yan, they are all people she can't afford to offend.
Therefore, she had no choice but to obey!
He wouldn't let her obey for nothing. He gave her a card and said, "There's 100,000 yuan in here. I advise you to leave this place as soon as possible!"
Shang Yan's words caught Sasha off guard. As she looked at him with trembling eyes, he stuffed the bank card into her hand and went into the private room.
Inside the private room, Yu Sheng was drinking silently.
She had completely forgotten about her pregnancy and the fact that she couldn't drink alcohol.
Even though she had long since lost feelings for Gu, she still found it hard to accept as his true colors gradually became clearer in her mind.
At first, she thought he had just cheated on her, just betrayed her, but now it seems—he had deceived her for ten years with a carefully crafted persona! A full ten years!
As tears welled up in Yu Sheng's eyes, Shang Yan walked in. Not wanting him to see her cry, she turned her head away, wiped away her tears, and pretended to be nonchalant as she asked him, "Why were you gone for so long?"
Shang Yan naturally sensed Yu Sheng's emotions. He felt sorry for her and wanted to hug her, but he held back and said, "I just took a stroll around. Why are you alone? Where's Sasha?"
Yu Sheng lowered her eyes, concealing the emotions that had not completely faded from them, and said, "Let her go. What about you? Have you found anything out?"
Shang Yan knew that Yu Sheng was already in great pain. He was afraid that if he told her the truth, she would break down. He wanted her to calm down before telling her, but he also felt that it was better to end the pain quickly than to prolong it. So he handed her the recording pen.
He knew that if he were there, Yu Sheng would definitely suppress her emotions, so he said, "I'll wait for you outside. Call me anytime if you need anything!"
After Shang Yan left, Yu Sheng downed a glass of wine before his hand trembled as he pressed a button on the recorder. A woman's sweet voice came through—
"Sir, how can I help you?"
Then came Shang Yan's voice: "I want to open a card for my brother."
"..."
This recording is of the conversation between Shang Yan and the receptionist.
Yu Sheng held her breath and listened quietly, afraid of missing anything.
When she heard Shang Yan ask, "Am I one of the first customers in your store?"
The woman said, "Yes, you signed up for a membership here not long after we opened five years ago." At that moment, she felt as if a bright, muffled thunderbolt had struck her from above.
She listened to that sentence over and over again, and after countless repetitions, she started to giggle.
She was smiling, but tears were streaming down her face.
Five years ago?
They had just gotten together, and he already started soliciting prostitutes!
She suddenly felt like she was a joke, and their relationship was a joke!
He is a liar!
He kept lying until he even started to believe it himself!
Yu Sheng didn't want to be with that kind of person for even a second longer!
No!
To be honest, she didn't want to see him again at all!
She picked up her phone, intending to call Yu Jing, but because her hands were shaking so badly, the phone fell to the ground with a 'thud'. She picked it up and gripped it tightly, her knuckles turning white from the force.
Yu Sheng dialed Yu Jing's number and said before Yu Jing could speak, "I can't wait any longer. I'll have Charles perform the surgery on Xiao Cheng within three days, or I'll abort the child."
"Yu Sheng, you..."
Before Yu Jing could finish speaking, Yu Sheng hung up the phone.
She seemed like a completely different person as she got up and walked outside.
When Shang Yan saw her come out, he asked worriedly, "Are you alright?"
Yu Sheng's eyes were filled with tears. Afraid that Shang Yan would see, she lowered her head and handed him the recorder, murmuring, "Brother, I don't want to go home... Could you... take me... to your place?"
Seeing that Shang Yan didn't speak, she assumed he disagreed and said, "If it's inconvenient, then I'll go to the hotel."
Yu Sheng, lost in her distress, didn't notice a drunkard approaching from behind.
The drunkard staggered and was about to bump into Yu Sheng when Shang Yan kicked him away. Before Yu Sheng could even figure out what was happening, Shang Yan put his arm around her shoulder and left the Mask Club...
