I promised Xiao Yaran that I would attend her birthday party at 7:30 pm on Saturday.
Bai Xiaoruo was tense for a single moment.
I don't know if Xiao Yaran will like the gift I prepared, and I don't know what it will be like in Landi.
Bai Xiaoruo and Ji Shushu were roommates and always together. Bai Xiaoruo still didn't dare to tell Ji Shushu that she was going to Xiao Yaran's birthday party. She knew that Ji Shushu would definitely not be happy, so she had to swallow all her thoughts.
Both her stepmother and father went to a party today and didn't eat at home. After dinner, Bai Xiaoruo mentioned to Bai Xiaofu that she wanted to go to a classmate's birthday party tonight. She thought she would be ridiculed by Bai Xiaofu again, but to her surprise, Bai Xiaofu didn't make any sarcastic remarks. Instead, she wholeheartedly supported Bai Xiaoruo's decision to go and even said that she would lie for her so that her stepmother and father wouldn't find out that she had gone out that night.
Just before Bai Xiaoruo left, Bai Xiaofu went upstairs to get a very exquisite gift box and handed it to Bai Xiaoruo, saying that it would make her look more presentable when she went there.
Bai Xiaoruo thought about it and agreed that it made sense. Xiao Yaran was a person who had seen all kinds of good things, so how could she possibly like cheap goods?
Thinking this, Bai Xiaoruo put the gift she had prepared back in her room and took the gift that Bai Xiaofu had given her.
Bai Xiaoruo walked to the bus stop, which was a kilometer away from the Bai family home. This was the place she and Xiao Yaran had arranged in advance, because she couldn't let people know that she was a member of the Bai family yet.
After waiting for about ten minutes, the car arrived.
When Bai Xiaoruo first saw the car parked in front of her and the unfamiliar person inside calling her name, she was completely confused, because it wasn't Xiao Yaran herself who came, but rather her friend.
After confirming several times and borrowing their phones to call Xiao Yaran, Bai Xiaoruo cautiously got into the car.
There were three men and two women in the car, plus Bai Xiaoruo. The car, which could barely seat three people in the back, was already overcrowded with four people. The space inside the car was cramped and filled with a strong smell of tobacco, obviously from someone who had just smoked. The air was suffocating.
Both girls were dressed rather provocatively, wearing tank tops and crop tops, with skirts so short that it seemed like you could see everything underneath from any angle. A boy was driving in the front, while a girl sat in the passenger seat playing with her phone and not saying a word. Bai Xiaoruo was squeezed between the two boys and the girl.
Not daring to rub against the people around them, they could only reluctantly try to sit in as few seats as possible.
Suddenly, the roguish-looking boy sitting to Bai Xiaoruo's left put his hand on her shoulder, a lewd smile on his face, and looked her up and down. "Sister Ran's friend is naturally our friend too. Don't be shy, we'll take good care of you tonight." As the boy leaned closer, a strong smell of sweat hit Bai Xiaoruo, making her frown.
There was no extra space to hide in the car, so out of politeness, Bai Xiaoruo could only give a faint smile and then remain silent.
Looking at the bustling traffic through the windshield, I held the gift box tightly in my hands, feeling a little uneasy.
*************************************************
Landi, home to the most decadent, luxurious, and famous bar in L city.
Not only does it offer a wide variety of entertainment options, but it also boasts a large venue. In addition to hundreds of VIP rooms, the main hall alone is the size of half a football field. The luxurious decor makes it a popular late-night entertainment destination for many young men and women, as well as wealthy individuals seeking entertainment.
With so many games and so many variations, it's naturally a very complex and complex field.
No one knows the real owner of Landi, and there is never any friendly spending. Fighting is commonplace in Landi. As long as nothing in Landi is damaged, the security guards will never step in to stop it. Even if the police are called, no police will care.
It is said that even the police dare not easily investigate the true forces behind Landi.
This has made Landi an ideal location for secret transactions by the heads of many underworld organizations in recent years, and various other dark business activities are also taking place there.
The prices there are very high, and the lobby is always packed with people early in the morning. It's not easy to get a table there, as it's not only expensive but also requires advance booking.
It was exactly 7 p.m.
The black Bentley came to a smooth stop on the right side of the east gate of Landi.
Parking is not allowed at the main entrance of Landi. No matter how important a person is, if a car is found parked at the main entrance, the security guards will warn them and then smash the car with a stick if they don't move it. They are very arrogant, but no one can do anything about it. This is usually for people who are new to Landi and are unfamiliar with the place. People who go there often will naturally know where to park their cars.
After the car came to a stop, the passenger and two bodyguards in the back seat quickly got out, walked around to the other side of the back door, bowed slightly, and respectfully opened the door.
Immediately afterwards, the man in the car got out of the car at a leisurely pace.
His handsome face, expressionless, glanced around, as if he still had some dissatisfaction.
He glanced down at his watch; it was already a minute past seven, but his secretary still hadn't arrived.
Wasn't the time to discuss the contract with Hongsheng supposed to be 7 o'clock?
The man frowned slightly; his time was precious, and he didn't want to waste it on such trivial matters.
“Call Annie and give her two more minutes. If she doesn’t get there by tomorrow, she won’t need to go to the office.”
