Chapter 85: Trouble Brewing
Seeing Xu Fangfang nod, Ye Fei immediately felt a surge of happiness.
Just a moment ago, having been belittled by Zhu Bufan, Ye Fei had been searching for a chance for revenge, imagining letting his cousin humiliate Zhu Bufan thoroughly.
Wouldn't that be simple?
Thinking of this, Ye Fei couldn't help but feel joyful.
Besides, Xu Fangfang's agreement was an acknowledgment of him; with this acknowledgment, didn't he now have a chance?
Thus, at this moment, Ye Fei was truly overjoyed.
An hour later, the group arrived at a place called Shengshi Dynasty.
The place had a four-story tall hall where a chandelier made of 999 crystals hung above; the chandelier alone seemed to cost millions, and the floor was made of marble. Looking around, the entire hall was resplendent, not to mention the dozens of uniformed men and women standing around.
"How impressive, right!" Upon entering Shengshi Dynasty and seeing everyone's amazed expressions, Ye Fei suddenly became very confident, and next moment, he couldn't help but smile triumphantly. However, seeing Zhu Bufan, calm as usual, standing beside Xu Fangfang, his spirit deflated like a frostbitten eggplant.
Does this mean I really don't stand a chance?
"Ye Fei..." At that moment, Ye Fei heard someone calling his name, looked up, and saw a woman in her thirties approaching him with great joy.
"Sis!"
The visitor was none other than Ye Fei's cousin Jiang Xueyan, who also happened to be the manager of the club!
"Are these your classmates? I have reserved a medium room for you, is that okay?" Jiang Xueyan wore a professional smile, swept her gaze over everyone, pausing momentarily on Xu Fangfang and Li Muyan, without paying too much attention.
For a woman like her, even a handsome guy like Zhu Bufan was just part of the crowd.
Not worth her excessive concern.
"Yeah, that's more than enough!" Ye Fei nodded repeatedly, then turned to introduce her to everyone: "This is my cousin..."
"Alright, this is the lobby. I'll listen to your introductions later. Xiao Liu, come take them to room 702. This is my cousin, remember to give a 15% discount on the drinks!" Jiang Xueyan didn't intend to waste more time with the group, hurriedly signaling a KTV hostess to take them to their room.
"Ah, sis, didn't you say it was free?" Ye Fei pulled Jiang Xueyan aside and whispered.
He had lied about having vouchers before. It was only when his cousin told him that playing here would be free that he came.
"The room fee is waived for you, of course, but I can't waive the drinks. Don't worry, with me here, it won't cost much. Go ahead and join your classmates, I'll come find you later!" Jiang Xueyan said and immediately went towards a fat man approaching from the opposite direction, quickly plastering a bright smile on her face.
Her attitude was worlds apart from how she treated Zhu Bufan and others, but the others were still in shock and didn't notice this. Only Zhu Bufan and Li Muyan noticed, though Zhu Bufan naturally wouldn't comment.
Li Muyan, however, humphed: "Ye Fei, your cousin really looks down on people!"
Ye Fei forced a wry smile: "Muyan, she's still my cousin. Can you speak a bit nicer? Besides, we did get a 15% discount."
"A 15% discount? Didn't you say there were vouchers?" Xu Fangfang interjected.
"Uh, the vouchers already covered the room fee. The 15% discount is for the drinks. Fangfang, don't worry, we won't drink much; it won't be expensive. Let's go inside!" Ye Fei hurriedly explained.
"Alright!" Xu Fangfang sighed and secretly determined to seize the chance to pay the bill later.
"Yo, Manager Jiang, when did you get new merchandise here, and didn't even notify me!" As everyone was about to head to the room, the fat man already embracing Jiang Xueyan's waist approached, his eyes directly landing on Xu Fangfang and Li Muyan.
Xu Fangfang in her blue long dress and black hair over her shoulders, looked exceedingly delicate and lively, while Li Muyan still wore a school uniform, appearing pure and charming, full of youthful vitality, far surpassing the garishness of those around her, attracting attention unavoidably.
Sensing the fat man's lecherous gaze, Jiang Xueyan quickly interjected: "Mr. Wang, you're mistaken, these are my cousin's classmates, here to have fun!"
"Your cousin's classmates? Haha, what a coincidence. Tell them that I'm covering all their expenses today; they just have to come over and have a few drinks with me!" the fat man declared generously with a wave of his hand.
Jiang Xueyan's expression immediately soured; she knew well Mr. Wang wasn't just after a few drinks. Known for his sleaziness, if he invited these young girls to drink, trouble would surely follow, but she was also acutely aware of Mr. Wang's status and that he was not someone she could afford to offend.
Weighing her options, she was about to alert her cousin, then let the young girls entertain Mr. Wang a bit, but before she could speak, one of the girls in school uniform already coldly snorted: "What are you? Daring to invite me to drink with you—don't you have a mirror to see yourself?"
Li Muyan, already ticked off by Jiang Xueyan's earlier indifference, now couldn't hold back any longer as this fat jerk dared to invite her for drinks. So, she burst out angrily.
She was the third young lady from the Li Family; with their stature in Tianhai City, who would she fear?
However, no one at the scene, including Xu Fangfang, knew Li Muyan's real identity.
Thus, watching Li Muyan suddenly stand out and directly curse the fat man, they were utterly shocked.
Everyone stood there stunned.
At this moment, seeing Li Muyan lash out at the fat man, a helpless look crossed Zhu Bufan's face. Li Muyan really knew how to act like a spoiled young lady! Didn't she realize this was stirring up a 'war'?
Still, Zhu Bufan didn't blame Li Muyan for her dramatic behavior at this moment; on the contrary, he too quite disapproved of the fat man.
