Among this group of people, the happiest to see Leng Junxuan was undoubtedly Ye Shuyao. Ye Shuyao had adored Leng Junxuan since she was a child, which was no secret within the compound. Their families even joked about straight-up arranging their engagent, but unfortunately, Leng Junxuan had no such intention, and the matter was glossed over. Only Ye Shuyao remained unwilling to let it go.
Actually, Ye Qiu felt that perhaps his little sister Ye Shuyao wasn’t truly in love with Leng Junxuan. Initially, it was nothing more than a young girl’s admiration for a peer she thought was capable. By the ti Leng Junxuan t the heroine Su Ruoxi, it had probably turned into a feeling of resentnt that she, who was superior in every way, sohow still lost Leng Junxuan’s affection to soone else!
According to Ye Qiu, Ye Shuyao might have made a series of mistakes in the latter stages, but it wasn’t entirely her fault.
Firstly, she was indulged by her brother. Secondly, Leng Junxuan and Su Ruoxi’s occasional conflicts were tolerated. The critical issue was that Leng Junxuan never clearly rejected Ye Shuyao and even used her as a catalyst for his romance with Su Ruoxi, which ultimately led Ye Shuyao to despise Su Ruoxi, culminating in irreversible incidents that not only damaged the Ye Family but also hurt Zhong iying and resulted in Ye Shuyao being sent to prison by Ye Qiu in the end.
One could say that the tragedy of Ye Shuyao and Zhong iying in their previous lives was facilitated by the actions of Leng Junxuan and Ye Qiu.
As Leng Junxuan walked into the private room with a cold expression, Ye Shuyao stood up joyfully. Just as she was about to approach him, Ye Qiu tily grabbed her hand and caught a glimpse of impatience fleeting through Leng Junxuan’s eyes. Ye Qiu felt uncomfortable in his heart without him even arriving.
"Brother." Ye Shuyao struggled slightly but failed to break free, watching discontentedly as people sward around Leng Junxuan.
Ye Qiu brought her and Zhong iying to the edge of the sofa and spoke expressionlessly, "Sit with your Sister i Ying, and don’t go up there and disgrace our Ye Family."
Ye Qiu was usually very gentle, and it was rare for him to be expressionless. Ye Shuyao was a bit fearful in such monts, so she obediently sat down.
Seeing this, Ye Qiu softened his expression: "Be good, you like that new handbag from the Xiang Family, right? Stay away from Leng Junxuan today, and I’ll buy it for you tomorrow."
Ye Shuyao’s eyes lit up with joy, and she asked, "Really?"
Ye Qiu tapped her head and said with a smile, "For real."
Ye Shuyao’s eyes darted, feeling that it was a good deal. She could see Brother Jun every day now, but having Second Brother Ye offer to buy her a handbag was rare. Besides, Brother Jun usually paid little attention to her, and with so many people around here, it was even less likely to exchange a few words. She decided to listen to her brother’s words and sit with her future sister-in-law.
Zhong iying gave a stifled chuckle and shot Ye Qiu a knowing look, then lowered her head to chat with Ye Shuyao about the latest popular costics and clothes.
With everyone’s flattery, Leng Junxuan was surprised and glanced in the direction of Ye Shuyao, wondering why the girl wasn’t pestering him today. However, he quickly breathed a sigh of relief. It would be for the best if the little girl figured it out herself because there was no possibility between the two of them.
"Second Brother Ye, what are you whispering about over there with Second Sister-in-law? Co on over and drink. Today, we celebrate Brother Leng’s promotion, and we won’t leave until we’re all drunk!"
"Well said! Hey, Zhang Chengyu, why are you being stingy with the drinks? Is this all you’ve got?"
"You, who gets knocked out by one drink, finish these first," Zhang Chengyu teased with a laugh.
Maybe it was the good atmosphere today, but the two cases of beer and several bottles of liquor that Zhang Chengyu had brought over were quickly finished. The group was already drunk and clamoring for more, insisting that Zhang Chengyu serve more drinks.
Zhang Chengyu felt that this was his own turf, and since there was a place to rest upstairs, he didn’t restrict them and pressed the call-for-drink service button inside the private room.
Ye Qiu thought to himself, here it cos, the first encounter between the male and female lead is about to happen.
The servers chosen for Purple Phoenix Pavilion were all young and pretty boys and girls, which was also a signature feature of the club. If there was mutual interest, further interactions could take place.
The female lead was only working during her holiday because her family was poor, she needed to pay for her own schooling, and her mother needed dical treatnt. She was introduced to this place by a senior schoolmate and found the job not only easy, but also well-paying, making it the best sumr job she could find.
Actually, if it weren’t for her senior’s strong recomndation, Su Ruoxi wouldn’t have been able to get in at all. But after she did, there were indeed people who fancied her ’plain congee’ type, yet they were all rejected by the female lead’s heart, which was not for sale despite her art.
Now looking back, Ye Qiu found Su Ruoxi a very interesting woman. She does not accept any support from the rich second generation now, priding herself on being pure and upright, but later, she would accept Leng Junxuan’s help countless tis.
As Ye Qiu was pondering, the manager led four female workers each carrying several bottles of wine into the room, with the last one being the female lead Su Ruoxi.
Today was a gathering of the ’Crown Princes’ that included Ye Qiu, and logically, a temporary worker new to the club like Su Ruoxi would not qualify to serve wine. Initially, the manager had planned to arrange for Su Ruoxi’s senior who had introduced her to the job, but as fate would have it, her senior suddenly got a stomachache, so Su Ruoxi was recomnded instead.
The manager, bearing in mind that so rich second-generation n had recently taken a liking to Su Ruoxi’s ’plain congee’ charm, arranged for her to try her luck serving wine.
The mont Su Ruoxi entered, Ye Qiu frowned, feeling all the more that his past self was blind. Not to ntion not comparing to his fiancée Zhong iying or his younger sister Ye Shuyao, even the three servers walking in front of her were no match for her.
Seeing the manager bring in a few beauties, the group of rich heirs whistled; normally they’d be mindful of their status and wouldn’t make these hooligan gestures in public, but having had a bit to drink and being in Zhang Chengyu’s domain, they threw caution to the wind.
Although the four female servers were unaware of the identities of Ye Qiu and his group, seeing that the manager was all smiles, all but Su Ruoxi started getting ideas.
With the n having emotion and the won playing the part of a willing concubine, the three scantily clad won quickly ended up laughing in the arms of the n who were interested in them, leaving Su Ruoxi alone, not knowing what to do.
"You, co here," Leng Haoxuan squinted his eyes similar to Leng Junxuan’s, watching Su Ruoxi with amusent.
Su Ruoxi’s heart tightened, and she hurriedly placed the tray of wine on the table, bowing her head in confusion: "I, I don’t do this kind of work."
Leng Haoxuan’s interest was piqued even more, and he chuckled evilly: "Didn’t you co to the club for money? I, your brother, have plenty of money."
Seeing the situation, his pals started egging them on: "Little sister, do you know who this brother is? Stick with him, and you won’t have to worry for the rest of your life."
Su Ruoxi furrowed her brows in annoyance, thinking that this bunch of wealthy young n really thought they were above the law because of their money, but she believed that society was ruled by law, and they couldn’t force her against her will.
She bowed deeply, firmly saying, "I’m sorry, but I have other work to attend to. I need to leave first."
