601: Lady Orchid 503_2 601: Lady Orchid 503_2 Qin Garden is different from ordinary entertainnt clubs; it probably wouldn’t fabricate tragic backgrounds for its employees.
“Will your brother be happy, taking this money?”
Xia Wanqing looked at Jiang Chen, her eyes as clear as her face.
“He doesn’t know what I do for work.”
Seeing that gentle smile, Jiang Chen fell silent and didn’t speak anymore.
Unaware?
How can a girl in her early twenties co up with such a large sum of money?
Does she really not know, or is she pretending not to know?
Jiang Chen had an answer in his heart.
No doubt, the girl had her answer too.
“Shaless!”
Luo Peng couldn’t hold back and burst out in anger.
“Miss Wan Qing, don’t get wrong, I didn’t curse you.
With family like that, you’d be better off cutting ties with them sooner rather than later.”
Jiang Chen shook his head; this guy still didn’t get it.
Did he really think she didn’t know?
Why cruelly pierce through the last shred of illusion soone might have about their family?
“Knock, knock, knock…”
A knocking sound ca from the door.
Jiang Chen looked towards the door, a bit surprised.
Who could be knocking at this hour?
Xia Wanqing was about to get up when Luo Peng beat her to it, “I’ll go.”
He walked to the door and opened it.
“Co in.”
A woman stepped into the private room.
Jiang Chen’s expression froze, as if he had seen a ghost during the dayti, he abruptly stood up.
Luo Peng closed the door.
“Jiang Chen, isn’t this lady fine?
I invited her for you,” he said with mischievous intent.
Turning around, however, he noticed his good buddy’s expression was sowhat off.
“Why are you standing up?”
Jiang Chen’s eyes trembled, his lips moved slightly.
Luo Peng was puzzled.
“What are you doing?”
Jiang Chen ignored him and looked incredulously at the woman, “Miss Lan, how co you are here…”
That’s right.
The woman called here to keep them company was none other than Lan Peizhi.
“You know her?”
Master Luo was still oblivious to the gravity of the situation and scolded Jiang Chen, “Didn’t you say you’ve never been to Qin Garden before?”
At that mont, Jiang Chen felt like throwing him out of the window, yet he hurriedly walked over, positioning himself between Lan Peizhi and Luo Peng.
Luo Peng had no idea who she was, but Jiang Chen was very clear.
The domineering scene from that assassination attempt on Sagan Nobuo was vivid in his mory.
“What are you doing?”
Master Luo was getting more bewildered,
Fortunately, this ‘Blood Bodhisattva’ didn’t cause trouble but went over and sat down, appearing calm and collected.
Xia Wanqing curiously sized her up, apparently also unfamiliar with her.
“Why are you mumbling?”
Luo Peng muttered, then left Jiang Chen behind and walked over.
“Miss, when has he ever been here?”
Miss?
But truly, based on her appearance alone, it was hard to deduce the age of this ‘Blood Bodhisattva’.
Observing the fearless Luo Peng, Jiang Chen was on tenterhooks, dreading that in her anger, the goddess might signal an attack and a group of ferociously evil executioners would charge in, slashing wildly.
Now, he roughly understood.
No wonder a venue like Qin Garden could operate so openly and prosperously.
If he wasn’t mistaken, it was very likely also this ‘Blood Bodhisattva’s’ enterprise.
“Shut your mouth.”
Jiang Chen quickly walked over, stopping Luo Peng’s nearly suicidal behavior.
“Miss Lan, my friend was just joking.
Don’t take it seriously.”
Luo Peng also ca to his senses at this ti, realizing sothing wasn’t quite right.
Jiang Chen rarely ever spoke to him with that tone, and he noticed Jiang Chen was being very cautious, even—nervous.
Could it be that this lady is not an employee of Qin Garden?
He eyed Lan Peizhi suspiciously.
Does Qin Garden actually accept female clients?
Fortunately, Lan Peizhi didn’t pay any attention to Luo Peng and said calmly, “Winning a hundred million US dollars, you really are wealthy and imposing.”
Jiang Chen forced a laugh, “I was just showing support.”
A hundred million—US dollars?!
Not just Xia Wanqing, Luo Peng too was shocked, looking at Jiang Chen.
“You won a hundred million US dollars?
When did this happen?”
“Just recently, when I was abroad.”
Jiang Chen gave a brief explanation.
“Miss Lan, did you two et abroad?”
Luo Peng turned to look at Lan Peizhi again.
At that mont.
Lan Peizhi finally glanced at him.
Jiang Chen’s heartbeat skipped a beat, and he hurriedly said, “Don’t shout like that!
Call her Miss Lan!”
Luo Peng was unconcerned.
“What’s the difference?”
Jiang Chen wanted to explain but stopped, considering Lan Peizhi was sitting right beside them, and it wasn’t good to say much, so he could only keep giving Luo Peng aningful glances.
But Young Master Luo didn’t catch on, although he finally changed the way he addressed her.
“Miss Lan, I’m sorry, I thought you were one of the staff here.
I didn’t realize that the Spring and Autumn Plaza also accommodates female guests.”
Jiang Chen let out a sigh of relief to himself.
“Jiang Chen, what a coincidence to et you here.
Aren’t you going to have a drink with Miss Lan?”
Luo Peng encouraged, which was quite friendly of him.
But Jiang Chen felt like killing soone.
“What are you standing there for?
Drink up.
Miss Wan Qing, bother you to pour a drink for Miss Lan.”
Under Luo Peng’s relentless persuasion, Jiang Chen, with no choice, could only stiffly take hold of the wine glass.
“Miss Lan, cheers to you.”
Jiang Chen initially didn’t think the other party would give him this much face, but to his surprise, she actually raised her glass,
“Clink.”
The porcelain cups gently clinked together, producing a crisp sound.
At that mont, Jiang Chen actually felt a sense of honor.
Lifting the porcelain cup, Lan Peizhi downed it in one gulp.
“This round of drinks is on .”
She put down her cup and then stood up to leave the private room.
Jiang Chen breathed out slowly.
“Why did she leave just like that?”
Luo Peng was baffled.
Jiang Chen looked at him and couldn’t be bothered to talk.
He asked Xia Wan Qing instead, “You don’t recognize her?”
Xia Wan Qing shook her head.
Indeed.
As an ordinary girl at the Spring and Autumn Plaza, it was indeed difficult to have the chance to et with the boss behind the scenes.
“Jiang Chen, what do you an by that question?”
Luo Peng was puzzled.
“Do you know who she is?
You’ve been talking nonsense there.”
Jiang Chen said irritably, but the thought of the na “Miss Lan” made him feel sowhat amused.
“What nonsense have I talked?”
Luo Peng was clueless and then subconsciously asked, “Who is she?”
Jiang Chen shook his head, not wanting to scare the fellow, “Let’s go, or we might not be able to leave soon.
Miss Wan Qing, do you have anything to pack up?”
Xia Wan Qing shook her head.
“Let’s go.”
Jiang Chen stood up.
Although it was bewildering, Luo Peng could only follow.
When they went upstairs, there were two of them, but when they ca down, there were three.
Jiang Chen swiped his card and paid a bill of seventy million.
That round of drinks truly hadn’t cost him a penny.
The evening breeze was slightly cool.
After leaving Spring and Autumn Plaza, Luo Peng considerately took off his coat and draped it over Xia Wan Qing, who was only wearing a thin cheongsam.
When he had co, he was filled with a heroic sense of saving soone in distress, but after successfully leading her out of the Spring and Autumn Plaza, Luo Peng found himself at a loss.
He glanced at the pitiable Xia Wan Qing and cleared his throat, “Jiang Chen, let discuss sothing.”
Jiang Chen looked at him.
“Li Shuru has returned to Qin Island, right?
Since you’ve got so many vacant rooms, why not let Miss Wan Qing stay at your place temporarily…”
Jiang Chen quickly interrupted him.
What was this guy rambling about?
“My place isn’t suitable.
You should let Miss Wan Qing stay at your place instead.”
“How can she stay at my place?
With the three of us big guys…”
“I can stay at a hotel.
It’s no problem.”
Xia Wan Qing gathered the coat around her shoulders.
Her considerateness made both n fall silent.
Although she truly could stay at the Spring and Autumn Plaza, it wouldn’t be appropriate, in either emotions or rationale, after all, she was bought by Luo Peng.
But leaving her at a hotel would also be too irresponsible.
“You have places at your place, don’t you?
You, Shao Ge, or Xiao Bai could squeeze in and figure out a solution later.”
Jiang Chen suggested.
Luo Peng thought about it and could only nod.
“I’m heading back now.
Miss Wan Qing, see you later.”
Jiang Chen politely bid goodbye to Xia Wan Qing.
“Good night, Mr.
Jiang.”
“I’m off.”
Jiang Chen, like a chivalrous man who helped soone without expecting anything in return, got into his car with ease after playing the hero.
The Par pulled out of the parking lot, speeding away.
“This guy.”
Luo Peng shook his head with a smile, “Well…
let’s go too.”
“Hmm.”
Xia Wan Qing responded softly, clutching the man’s coat and obediently followed Luo Peng toward the parked cars.
Before getting into the car, she looked back at Spring and Autumn Plaza.
She exhaled gently, tightened the coat around her, pulled the door open, and got into the car.
