NOVEL NEXT Chapter 51 July Fire!
The things I can't have, no one else should either. It's best to destroy her!
Jin Shixiang knew that there was no chance for him and Nangong Qingcheng, so rather than letting Jiang Feng benefit, and not making use of her value, he decided to use her to gain Young Master Kang's favor!
After Jiang Feng and Nangong Qingcheng came out of the kitchen, it was already late. Nangong Qingcheng wanted to bid farewell to the Old Master, but suddenly Nangong Yan stood up and said, "Cousin, don't rush off, I just discussed with your Brother Shixiang. It's rare for us to get together like this, so why don't we go out for a drink? It's a rare chance."
Nangong Qingcheng was stunned for a moment. Nangong Yan taking the initiative to ask her out was unheard of.
"Yeah, just now in front of the elders we couldn't communicate well. Let's go out for a bit and talk about topics that interest us young people." Jin Shixiang said seriously with a smile.
"No need, we have things to do when we get back, maybe next time." Nangong Qingcheng politely declined.
"What's the rush? You're starting school in three days, when would there be a next time? Listen to your sister, don't go back, unless you and Jiang are eager to go back and 'happy', afraid my Brother Shixiang and I will disrupt your good times?" Nangong Yan intentionally smirked wickedly, making an obscure hand gesture with her thumbs, full of malice.
"Cousin, what are you talking about!" Nangong Qingcheng was instantly furious. Not to mention that she and Jiang Feng hadn't reached that step, even if they had, was there a need for her cousin to speak like that in front of the elders?
"Well then, let's go. Whatever you have to do, it doesn't matter for one night." Nangong Yan's goading worked, she smiled.
"Qingcheng, it's rare for your cousin to ask, you should go. You young people should enjoy together and deepen your bonds." Zhao Chunhua chimed in, even though she didn't know her daughter's purpose.
"I—" Nangong Qingcheng wanted to say something, but Jiang Feng took the initiative to speak with a smile: "Alright, we'll go. With your cousin and future cousin-in-law being so kind, it would be rude not to accept."
"That's more like it." Jin Shixiang smiled with satisfaction. Although he had never taken Jiang Feng seriously, he was pleased that Jiang Feng at least spoke sensibly.
Nangong Qingcheng was very reluctant, but since Jiang Feng had spoken, she had no choice but to go along.
"Let's go, we've already booked the place, we'll drive ahead, you guys follow." Jin Shixiang hurriedly pulled Nangong Yan out, as if afraid Jiang Feng and Nangong Qingcheng would change their minds.
They've already booked a place? Nangong Qingcheng felt even more uneasy, sensing that the two had planned this all along.
Jiang Feng had seen through it a long time ago; Jin Shixiang was filled with schemes, especially the malicious glint in his eyes when he looked at Nangong Qingcheng. Since that was the case, they might as well let him play out his tricks; otherwise, he would keep plotting against Nangong Qingcheng.
...
The place Jin Shixiang booked was a bar in the city called "July Fire." It had recently become popular, not as established as Dynasty, but very popular among young people.
The owner of "July Fire" was willing to spend money; the DJs and MCs at the slow-shake bar on the first floor were brought in from big cities at a high cost, the DS were all young models, and the "princesses" were all professionally trained. Some top dancers had even won big prizes at a model contest in the south, and were well-known.
Jin Shixiang first drove the car to the parking lot, then eagerly took out his phone and made a call: "Young Master Kang, have you arrived?"
"Just got here, where are you?" came the sound of security directing parking beside Young Master Kang.
"I just got to the parking lot too, I'll come find you soon!" Jin Shixiang hung up excitedly. He'd long wanted to connect with Kang Hui, and having dinner at Nangong Mansion tonight provided that opportunity.
After parking the car, Jin Shixiang took Nangong Yan out to meet Kang Hui.
"Am I dressed okay?" About to meet someone like Kang Hui, a rich young master, Nangong Yan was quite nervous and asked Jin Shixiang.
Earlier in the car, she had crawled to the back seat alone to change out of her work clothes, into a black lace strap dress, her shoulders and back looking especially seductive against the black straps.
The skirt wasn't long, deliberately showing off her impressive long legs. She had taken off her stockings and closed-toe shoes, replacing them with a pair of high-heeled sandals, her long feet adorned with anklets and toe rings, her toenails painted black.
In her view, such an outfit was more fitting for a bar.
"You look great, be confident, darling, tonight we're the stars." Jin Shixiang put his arm around Nangong Yan and headed towards Young Master Kang's parking spot.
Over there, under the direction of a security guard, Kang Hui parked a brand new BMW 7 Series, and at the same time, several other luxury cars of similar grade, like Mercedes S, Audi A8, and Lexus LS, also parked nearby.
These were friends Kang Hui had called over. Since this was a bar outing, and picking up girls, it was best to have drinking buddies for company, single-handedly making a move would be dull.
"Young Master Kang!" Jin Shixiang grinned obsequiously, let go of Nangong Yan, and ran to open the car door for Kang Hui.
"Did you bring the people?" Kang Hui asked as he got out of the car, glancing at Nangong Yan, his face changing slightly: "Is she the one?"
"No, no, of course not, she's my girlfriend... Nangong Yan! Xiao Yan, quickly greet Young Master Kang!" Jin Shixiang hastily replied.
"Hello, Young Master Kang." Nangong Yan feigned shyness and called out coyly.
"Hmm." Kang Hui responded indifferently. He was startled; if he'd been tricked into meeting such a withered flower, he would have cursed. Fortunately, Jin Shixiang clarified it wasn't her.
"Jin Shixiang, are you sure? Young Master Kang has high standards, not interested in ordinary stuff. If you're not bringing something truly excellent, you're wasting Young Master Kang's time."
Several of Kang Hui's companions got out of their cars too, sneering at Jin Shixiang.
"Gentlemen, I guarantee, the cousin arriving soon is an absolute beauty, a heavenly immortal, one hundred percent matches Young Master Kang's taste." Jin Shixiang quickly assured.
"Stop bullshitting, where is she?" One slicked-back playboy said disdainfully.
Just as he finished speaking, Jiang Feng and Nangong Qingcheng drove into the parking lot, spotting Jin Shixiang and Nangong Yan chatting with a group of people in the distance. Nangong Qingcheng didn't think it was a deliberate invitation from Jin Shixiang and assumed they were just meeting friends by chance.
She didn't pay much attention, planning to get out together once Jiang Feng parked the car.
"Young Master Kang, they're here!" Jin Shixiang eagerly pointed towards them as if showing off a treasure!
