Chapter 94 Modern IF Illegitimate Child x Young Master (2): A burst of fireworks bloomed right on that poster.
Since they had agreed to rehearse dance that evening, Yao Ruyi was determined not to let them go. With only five or six minutes left before school ended, Yao Ruyi had already packed up the workbooks, preparing to see what the two of them should dance later.
The above refers to ballroom dancing, but that's just an example. The same applies to the three people who chose street dance last time. As long as it's dancing, the school won't impose so many restrictions.
Yao Ruyi had studied Latin, but he wasn't very familiar with the others.
As soon as the bell rang, the students left one after another. Qiao Yu wanted to come over and talk to him, but before he could come over, Yao Ruyi suddenly turned her head and stared at Gu Huizhou, as if afraid that he would run away. "Come with me to the dance studio."
The young master had a stern face and seemed displeased, but that was only how it appeared to outsiders. Seeing the tense atmosphere between the two, Li Wei, who was standing next to Qiao Yu, pulled Qiao Yu toward the door, saying, "Let's not get involved in the affairs of those families."
Qiao Yu opened her mouth but didn't say anything. In the end, Li Wei pulled her towards the school gate. "I don't have anything to say, I just wanted to talk."
"Okay, okay, we'll talk about it later."
About half a class's distance from the two, three or four people were gathered. They were Gu Huai'an and his buddies, all of whom were spoiled rich kids who never listened to lectures or handed in their homework and spent their days running around to bars.
Yao Ruyi remembered that her brother had specifically told her not to play with Gu Huai'an.
He didn't like Gu Huai'an either. He didn't know why, but he felt that Gu Huai'an was hostile to him. Moreover, Gu Huai'an was ugly, sleazy, and greasy, not as good-looking as Gu Huizhou.
Let's go.
Yao Ruyi stood up and, seeing that Gu Huizhou was also ready, was about to leave with him. Gu Huizhou nodded, and the two had just taken a step when Gu Huai'an arrived with three or four men, looking menacing. "Leave? Where are you going?"
The school uniform Gu Huai'an was wearing looked cheap on him. The school uniforms of the private high school were specially made by a high-end foreign company, with top-notch design and fabric, which made the students look tall and slender.
Not to mention those who are tall, broad-shouldered, and narrow-waisted, like Gu Huizhou, who from a distance look like models walking the runway.
But Gu Huai'an insisted on unbuttoning his coat, rolling up the sleeves to reveal his forearms which had a high body fat percentage, and his shirt was also slightly open at the chest. Yao Ruyi glanced at it and didn't want to look anymore.
He sometimes felt that his eyes were quite delicate, no less so than his skin allergies.
"Yeah, why are you leaving? Our classmate Gu has something to do tonight." A boy following behind Gu Huai'an said with a strange laugh. He stepped forward and leaned against the other side of the aisle, blocking all the gaps.
"What did President Wang say last night? Oh right. He said Xiao Gu should keep him company tonight. Xiao Gu hasn't forgotten, has he?"
After they finished speaking, they looked at the two people opposite them as if they were watching a good show. Even though the followers were with Gu Huai'an, they weren't stupid. They didn't want to make enemies with the Yao family. "Ruyi, how about we switch? Let Gu Huizhou play the piano, and I'll dance with you. After all, he has several part-time jobs after school. How can he have time to practice dancing with you?"
She laughed more comfortably than before, but Yao Ruyi still didn't like it. "I want to dance with Gu Huizhou."
This young master is so stubborn! Xu Qianyuan paced around in frustration. "Then you can leave first today. Gu Huizhou has something to do later."
Gu Huai'an remained silent, simply watching the spectacle unfold.
Yao Ruyi frowned. Why were these people making such a fuss? Gu Huizhou had already agreed to his request, so why was he still bothering with them?
"Get out of the way." His attitude turned cold, and he looked somewhat distant from the business world.
The henchmen stopped talking and all looked at Gu Huai'an.
Gu Huai'an stood up straight. "This is our family matter. I am his brother. It would be best if Young Master Yao didn't get involved."
Even when he stood up straight, he didn't care about Zhou Gao's height. Yao Ruyi frowned slightly. What he said was true, but...
"I've taken leave," Gu Huizhou said calmly.
"Ask for leave? Who gave you permission to ask for leave?"
As they were talking, one of his henchmen went out to make a phone call. When he returned, Gu Huizhou's phone rang. Yao Ru saw him answer it and could vaguely hear a male voice on the other end, but the background noise made it hard to hear clearly, "Today... another day... President Wang is coming."
As soon as the electric scooter was hung up, the people on the other side laughed, "Let's go, it's time to go to work."
Yao Ruyi turned to look at Gu Huizhou, whose expression was not good. "Are you going to work?"
He knew it was those people who did it, and he was furious. Even though Gu Huizhou was supposed to leave with him today, he suddenly became irritated when he spoke to Gu Huizhou.
When has Yao Ruyi ever been robbed of his rights?
"Young master, would you like to wait for me after get off work?"
Without hesitation, Yao Ruyi replied, "Yes."
"good."
The group managed to leave the school together. After the others got into their luxury cars, Gu Huizhou took Yao Ruyi in a taxi. Usually, he would take the bus a kilometer away from the school gate, but today, with Yao Ruyi with him, he chose to take a taxi.
It's still a luxury car, because I'm afraid this pampered person won't be used to it.
Yao Ruyi, carrying her schoolbag, didn't want to talk to Gu Huizhou. They had already agreed to go to dance practice together, and Yao Ruyi was a little nervous about going to a bar later. She couldn't let her brother know.
"I'll work a two-hour shift, I'll save you a seat and wait for me."
Yao Ruyi gave a faint "oh" and followed Gu Huizhou into the bar.
Separated only by a door, the interior was instantly ablaze with color. Although it was only seven or eight o'clock, the place was already bustling with activity. The bar owner was waiting at the door, and upon seeing Gu Huizhou arrive, he hurried over with a fawning smile, "Little Gu, I'm sorry. It's just two hours. After two hours, you can do whatever you want. I couldn't refuse you, you understand?"
Gu Huizhou nodded indifferently. He frowned and spoke to the boss, but Yao Ruyi couldn't hear him very well. However, the boss immediately said that it was no problem. Gu Huizhou turned his head and said, "He will take you to your seat."
After saying that, he turned and walked towards a small door, which Yao Ruyi guessed was probably the staff back office.
"Come on, little one, let me take you to your seat. It's quieter over there, less crowded." The boss said, then walked ahead. He had just wanted to ask why he didn't take the child to a private room if he wanted peace and quiet, but then he thought, this kid is so well-behaved, it's better to keep an eye on him from time to time for peace of mind.
The boss brought over fruit, cakes, and drinks, chatted with Yao Ruyi for a while, and then left to attend to his guests.
Yao Ruyi picked up the tiramisu and ate it. It wasn't sweet and tasted good.
He was a little annoyed that he had come to a bar. The area was indeed quiet, but quite a few people were looking at him, especially since he was wearing a school uniform.
The door over there opened.
Yao Ruyi's breath hitched. He saw that Gu Huizhou had changed into a different outfit: a white shirt, black trousers, and two suspenders. The two buttons on his chest were slightly undone, a style completely different from Gu Huai'an's.
Like a butler, but not the serious kind.
"Ouch—" I almost spilled the lemonade in my hand.
Gu Huizhou noticed his gaze, and the two nodded slightly. Yao Ruyi felt inexplicably hot and murmured to herself, "Bars... are quite interesting."
Seven or eight waiters dressed in the same uniform as Gu Huizhou came out. They all looked to be over 185cm tall, but Yao Ruyi only thought Gu Huizhou was good-looking. It wasn't just his subjective opinion; Gu Huizhou was simply good-looking.
In the shot, Gu Huizhou leans slightly forward, placing the drinks on Gu Huai'an's table. As he leans forward, a necklace can be seen on his chest, shimmering slightly under the bright lights.
The young master's hands trembled, and he took dozens of photos in a row.
"This one looks good, and this one is not bad either..."
He noticed that many people were also looking at Gu Huizhou. His delicate and well-behaved face made many people's hearts itch, but they were all turned away by a servant.
Yao Ruyi was still looking at the photos when suddenly a lot of noise came from Gu Huai'an's table. He tensed up and quickly looked over. One of the men, a middle-aged man in a brown shirt with a fat head and big ears, who was about 1.6 meters tall, was pointing menacingly at Gu Huizhou across from him.
Several servants beside Gu Huizhou hurriedly smiled obsequiously, but Gu Huizhou remained motionless.
One of the servants tugged at Gu Huizhou's sleeve and whispered a few words in his ear, looking as if he were trying to persuade him.
Yao Ruyi frowned as he looked on. It was indeed quiet here, so quiet that he couldn't hear what was being said on the other side. He could only hear the increasingly noisy sounds.
He looked around and waved to a waiter passing by the bar. The waiter looked a little surprised, but quickly composed himself and smiled. "Sir, what would you like to do?"
"What happened over there?"
The waiter paused. "Oh, I see. Mr. Wang opened a bottle of wine in Number Three's hand and specifically asked Number Three to dance, but Number Three refused."
"Dance?"
The servants found Yao Ruyi somewhat unfamiliar, especially since she was wearing a school uniform.
Knowing only that this was a distinguished guest whom the boss had asked him to look after, he smiled gently and said, "Yes, guests can make requests when they open a bottle of wine under our waiters' names."
Yao Ruyi asked, "Is it explicitly stipulated in law?"
There's no explicit rule about this, the waiter sighed inwardly, "It's an unwritten rule of the bar."
They need to please their customers to have repeat business; otherwise, they'll eventually lose their jobs if they only do one-off sales.
"Okay, thank you."
Yao Ruyi glanced at the nameplate on the chest of the waiter opposite her; it read "Number Eight."
"Wait a minute." Seeing that the person was about to leave, Yao Ruyi quickly said. He then turned his head to look over there, "Wait a minute, I will open the wine under your name in a while, wait a bit before you go."
Number Eight was overjoyed. "Yes, sir."
Gu Huai'an laughed heartily in the booth. He loved seeing Gu Huizhou like this. Unwilling? What good was it if he was unwilling? In the end, he was an illegitimate child. His mother was sent abroad for treatment, leaving behind this bastard, something even his old man didn't want to acknowledge.
If Gu Huizhou had a chance to get into the company, how come he can't even get into his own home? Now he has to work part-time at a bar to earn his rent. "He's really pitiful."
Mr. Wang was furious. He glanced at Young Master Gu behind him out of the corner of his eye, cleared his throat, and continued, "Jump! Jump now! I opened the wine under your waiters' names, so you have to listen to me!"
Gu Huai'an listened with satisfaction, "Exactly, why bother, Gu? Just jump ship quickly to get the commission, and that way you'll cover this month's... no, these past few months' rent, right?"
"Yes, yes, yes!" Xu Qianyuan chimed in. "Aren't we supposed to be dancing a duet with someone? Let's practice with Number Four first, so we'll be more skilled when we go on stage, right?"
"Hahahahahaha," the crowd burst into laughter, among them a few girls who were sitting in the laps of the group.
It was still early and there weren't many customers. Only seven or eight booths had opened for drinks. Gu Huai'an was a well-known playboy in City A, so who would dare to mess with him? For a while, many people around looked this way, and there were many different opinions, but they just looked and talked, and no one dared to get involved.
Number Four, who had just been trying to persuade Gu Huizhou to jump around and leave, couldn't persuade him anymore. He now understood that it wasn't something that could be done casually.
These guys just wanted to see this guy make a fool of himself. Even if he jumped, there were other things they wanted him to do, like licking shoes or drinking on his knees...
This happens frequently here.
Besides, how much did these people order? Most of it was recorded under the name of that girl, A, who was in Gu Huai'an's arms. She had a graceful figure, with full breasts, a plump bottom, and an exceptionally slender waist. She was a real beauty.
Their bar waitresses are numbered A, B, C... and the waiters are numbered one, two, three...
Number A, needless to say, her face is captivating in every frame.
If Gu Huizhou were willing, he would be more than just the third child.
The bottles of wine on the table totaled several hundred thousand, but only one bottle, worth about three or four thousand, was registered under Gu Huizhou's name.
This doesn't mean they're willing to put the three or four thousand under Gu Huizhou's name; it's just that the cheapest drink in the bar is that price, whether you drink it or not is another matter.
Number Four really didn't think these guys would drink such cheap liquor, and that someone might end up taking it.
"Jump now! Otherwise, I'll complain to your boss and you'll lose this job. How are you going to pay your rent then?"
"That's right, Xiao Gu, hurry up!"
Gu Huizhou remained expressionless, ignoring the shouts and yells of the group. He glanced at the wine on the table, as if wondering if smashing the bottle over President Wang's head would cause him to bleed.
The thoughts in my mind spread rapidly like a virus, quickly reaching my palms.
The laughter in his ears faded, and Gu Huizhou suddenly shifted his gaze—to the arm, the wrist…
"Bang!" A firework exploded behind everyone.
Even President Wang didn't notice, let alone Number Four, who had his back turned. He almost jumped up on the spot, staring in shock at Number Eight, who was leading a group of people holding ceremonial cannons behind him.
"This is……"
Number Eight smiled meaningfully. He had just registered tens of thousands of bottles of wine under his name and was willing to make this trip for that young master. "I'm sorry, Mr. Gu and Mr. Wang."
“Young Master Yao of the Yao family just opened a bottle of Suntory Yamazaki 25-year-old under Number Three’s name. We need to send someone over to open it now.”
Upon hearing this, Gu Huai'an's expression immediately turned sour. "Damn it!"
Damn Yao Ruyi! I have to go against him.
He could have easily embarrassed Gu Huizhou, but he interrupted him!
But if we keep them here now, won't they have to open another bottle? And that will be added to Gu Huizhou's share!
Seeing Gu Huai'an's clenched fists and ashen face, President Wang finally dared not speak. These young masters sparring and vying for people had nothing to do with him; he was just an artilleryman.
"Young Master Gu, what do you think..."
"Get out!" Gu Huai'an angrily downed his glass of wine in one gulp. He didn't dare to fall out with Yao Ruyi for the time being, and said fiercely, "Gu Huizhou, we'll see!"
Gu Huizhou's eyes were smiling, and the manic rage that was about to spread to his palms stopped, but was stopped by the bottle of Suntory Yamazaki 25-year-old. He said coldly, "Have fun."
After saying that, Gu Huizhou turned around and took the salute from No. 8. "Thank you."
Even Number Eight was a bit confused. They had already fired the ceremonial cannons and then thrown them away, so what was the point of keeping this...?
"well."
Number Eight watched Gu Huizhou walk towards the booth and touched his nose, deciding not to join the fun. He also stopped Number Four, who was following behind Gu Huizhou, "Hey, hey, where are you going?"
"Huh? We're in a group today."
Number Eight almost rolled his eyes. "Don't go. Just treat today as a day off."
"This won't do!"
"...It will definitely work, it will definitely work."
Yao Ruyi looked at the three or four bottles of wine on the table, each one quite valuable. He put away his card and looked at the bottles over and over. He recognized them, but only in theory; he had never actually drunk any.
"Young Master, what are your orders?"
Yao Ruyi looked up at the sound and saw Gu Huizhou standing in front of him with a smile on his lips, bowing slightly. The chain was blocking the young master's view through his collar.
She's in great shape; she looks completely different from how she appears during the day.
"N-nothing...it's nothing." Yao Ruyi was a little afraid to look at this person. "Aren't we supposed to go back to dance practice?"
He'd only been there for half an hour, which wasn't exactly the end of Gu Huizhou's workday, but since he'd spent so much money, it probably wasn't a big deal for him to leave early with his people.
"Young Master wants to see a dance?" Gu Huizhou's previous icy demeanor vanished. "Don't mind if it's not a good dance, Young Master."
As he spoke, he turned and went to the bar, said something to the person there, and suddenly the overhead light of the booth in front of Yao Ruyi changed. It was no longer as bright as the owner had set it for him, but instead became a dazzling blue-purple light.
The music changed; a classic Hong Kong song replaced the bar's original rock music.
Gu Huizhou returned, and he now wore two bracelets on his wrists, which jingled as he moved, "Swish, swish—"
Yao Ruyi watched with envy, yet also wanted to see more. He reached out and touched his earlobe with a hint of excitement, "What are they going to do?"
"Dance for the young master."
After speaking, Gu Huizhou started moving to the rhythm. Two more holes had appeared in his chest, and the leather belt around his waist was darkened by the blue-purple light. Even though it was dark, Yao Ruyi couldn't help but look over there.
Ultimately, it's because of Gu Huizhou's dance moves; he always bumps his hips.
Suddenly, someone stepped forward, just like a scene from a movie. Gu Huizhou picked up the lemonade that Yao Ruyi had just half-drunk, took a sip, and then leaned forward, letting a drop of water trickle from the corner of his mouth into his chest right in front of Yao Ruyi.
His lips were glistening. Yao Ruyi swallowed. He had just drunk two glasses of lemonade, so why was he still thirsty?
Gu Huizhou's eyes were smiling, his lips were moist, and a streak of water lay on his chest. He knelt on one knee before Yao Ruyi...
The young master is inexperienced and doesn't know where to look.
When the song ended, the lights came on, and the music changed back.
Yao Ruyi hadn't reacted yet. He stared blankly as Gu Huizhou, who had suddenly turned back into his daytime self, reached out and fastened the buttons on his chest, then got up and sat down beside him.
Before the smile on his face had faded, he asked Yao Ruyi, "Is the young master satisfied?"
"I'm...satisfied."
He only heard a soft laugh from the person beside him. In the end, Yao Ruyi didn't even know how he got out of the bar. He got a card from the owner, stored the alcohol there, and was then pulled to his house by Gu Huizhou.
They said it was spacious over there, and you could practice dancing there.
Yao Ruyi agreed and followed Gu Huizhou back to his house. Only when they stepped into the upscale apartment in the city center did she realize something was wrong. "Didn't they say you didn't have money to rent a place?"
"Then please keep it a secret, young master, and don't tell them."
Keeping it a secret? That means only the two of them know.
The young master, who had been pampered since childhood, thought yesterday that Gu Huizhou didn't like him, but today he had a secret with this person. The excitement he had just felt because of Gu Huizhou's dance hadn't even subsided before it came back up again.
He said smugly, "Fine."
The two entered the house, which was decorated very luxuriously, bright and expensive, and looked very valuable. Yao Ruyi liked it.
"Okay, I'll take a shower, and then we'll practice dancing."
"good."
Gu Huizhou settled the person on the sofa and went back to his bedroom. He looked at his phone on the bedroom table for two minutes, then deleted the secretly taken photos sent in the text message. The photos showed him leaving the internet cafe last night, taking the bus to the bar, and finally returning to his old, run-down rented apartment at three in the morning.
"Oh."
Gu Huai'an's hired people to follow him were very dedicated, even taking such clear photos at night.
Gu Huizhou deleted the photos without expression. He turned and went into the bathroom. There were several large posters on the bathroom wall, all covered with waterproof film.
The person in the poster is now sitting on the sofa in the living room.
If he were to come in now, he would recognize these photos as ones he posted on his overseas social media accounts. One of them was Yao Ruyi's last post before returning to China. He was wearing a low-cut pajama top and taking a selfie while lying on his pillow, excitedly announcing that he would be returning to China the next day.
Gu Huizhou was mesmerized. He stared at the bright smile on the poster in front of him, his mind replaying the scene from the bar.
With a muffled groan, a large hand descended.
Half an hour later, a burst of fireworks, like the cannon fire that had just been lit in the bar, exploded right on the poster.
