Chapter 93 Worries
Chapter 93 Worries
It was obvious this woman had something on her mind.
"Fine, let's go to a bar for a drink. Tonight, I'll go wild with Sister Yu—let's hit up 'Xindu Mei' in the city center," Liu Wentian laughed as he spoke.
In Shenming City, there were over a hundred bars, KTVs, and other such venues known as "Xindu Mei," and in this city, "Xindu Mei" was synonymous with nightlife.
Some say "Xindu Mei" is a legitimate enterprise, whilst others argue it devours people without spitting out their bones. In any case, no one dares to cause trouble at "Xindu Mei's" nightclubs—the consequences are severe.
The owner of Xindu Mei is a woman, known as the Black Widow.
"Xindu Mei" and the "Black Widow" are some of the most talked-about legends in Shenming City.
.........
City center, Xindu Mei bar.
Nights in Shenming City are always a dazzle of gold and intoxication, a wild dance of demons. The bar was already packed, with many people still queuing outside, waiting for someone to leave so they could take their place.
There are two kinds of people who don't need to queue: beauties and rich folks.
Beauties stimulate spending, rich folks bring consumption.
Liu Wentian and Fan Xiaoyu walked shoulder to shoulder right through the main entrance, followed by a bar employee.
Many people were queuing up, and when they saw Liu Wentian and company being ushered in by the staff, they started to complain.
"Damn, we've been queuing here for so long, what gives him the right to cut in line??"
"Exactly, it's fine for that beauty, but that guy is dressed even worse than me. What gives him the right to go in?!!"
"This is unfair! Isn't 'Xindu Mei' known for its strict rules?? Seems like it's not as good as its reputation. To think I came all the way to Shenming City for business, and even made a special trip to queue up here!!"
"…"
The smiling bar employee escorted Liu Wentian inside, and then turned around with a ferocious face, angrily saying, "What's all the yelling about?? Keep causing trouble here, do you want to die??"
Seeing the menacing demeanor of that person, everyone in the queue shrank back, though some still unwillingly said, "Why though, aren't we all losers here? Why does he get to go straight in and I can't?? What about 'Xindu Mei's rules, huh??"
"Heh, losers?" The employee sneered contemptuously. "The guy keeps it low-key, you think you can compare?? Can a loser have a uniformed beauty standing next to him?? Do you know what kind of car he drives??"
"What car?? That kid doesn't look like a rich man at all. Don't tell me he drove some fancy car here??" someone questioned, puzzled.

"Lamborghini Veneno Roadster, a car worth tens of millions!! He's a real rich guy, does he need to wear any designer clothes?? The real wealthy don't need that stuff, you lot don't know shit!" The employee spoke with a mocking tone, appearing smug.
"Hiss!! Lamborghini Veneno Roadster?? That's worth tens of millions indeed!!"
"No wonder, when I looked at that woman earlier—dressed in a professional suit, she looked like a secretary. It seems this young man is a rich second-generation, bringing his secretary here to get high after work!"
"..."
The crowd started discussing again, but no one questioned why Liu Wentian could get in anymore.
In the bar, heavy metal music was deafening, colorful lights flickered, and men and women in the dance floor were shaking their heads wildly as if they were possessed, the whole scene was charged with a kind of madness as countless people vented their stress and desires.
Liu Wentian still didn't understand why, because he drove an expensive car, he ended up with an invisible winning ticket that made those outside in the queue green with envy, jealousy, and hatred.
He and Fan Xiaoyu sat at the bar where Fan Xiaoyu had already downed several drinks. This wasn't about playing at all, she was clearly here to drown her sorrows.
Seeing her face flushed with alcohol, about to pour another drink into her mouth, Liu Wentian snatched the glass away with a bitter smile, "Sister Yu, didn't you want to talk to me about your matters? Let's talk now then, or you'll be too drunk to say anything later."
Fan Xiaoyu smirked foolishly, the drunken her was less dignified but more enchanting, her eyes seductive, especially tempting.
"Fine, since you want to hear it, I'll tell you. Liu Wentian, do you know that all of you men are bastards, heartbreakers, no good!" Fan Xiaoyu said with a drunken, blurred vision and a cold laugh.
"Er... Sister Yu, you're drunk," Liu Wentian touched his nose, feeling like he had been caught in the crossfire. All men were being criticized.
"Hmph, I'm not drunk," Fan Xiaoyu's expression was complex, her smile a mix of coldness and sadness, "Liu Wentian, do you understand? I told Director Zheng before that I had a boyfriend, but he didn't believe because my boyfriend never came to see me at the hotel. But I really do have a boyfriend, even though I don't like him, heh."
"This situation seems a bit complicated. If he's your boyfriend, why doesn't he ever come to see you at the hotel? And if you don't like him, why is he your boyfriend?" Liu Wentian was somewhat confused.
Fan Xiaoyu seemed to be recalling something, "Why he became my boyfriend, because an ordinary woman always needs a boyfriend, needs a family, and I am just a very ordinary woman. He has been pursuing me since freshman year, and even after I graduated, he was still pursuing me. Although I didn't like him, I never liked any man, so seeing his persistence, I tried dating him."
"My sister had bad luck in meeting men, ended up marrying that scumbag brother-in-law of mine, and she passed away young. So when I look for a man, he must be reliable, and I recognized Li Chang as quite reliable. His family is poor, he's average-looking, but very ambitious and seems honest, earnestly pursuing me. So even though I don't like him, I tried to get along with him."
She looked at Liu Wentian with a giggle, clearly talking about her boyfriend, yet her expression seemed like she was telling some hilarious joke, so funny that she couldn't help but laugh herself.
"Isn't that quite good though? Coming from a poor family, average-looking, but as long as he's willing to work hard, none of these are problems, and he will eventually succeed," Liu Wentian said so, though he truly understood that many times, efforts didn't necessarily lead to success.
Fan Xiaoyu laughed coldly, "Quite good? Haha, I thought so too. Do you know why he doesn't come to the hotel to see me? Because I insisted on waiting until marriage before we do that, and he thinks that means I don't trust him, that I don't really consider him as my boyfriend. In fact, that's not really a big deal, but do you know what he told me a few days ago? He said that his boss liked me a lot, and if I accompanied his boss, he could become a department manager and promised to always be good to me— 'always be good,' is this what you call being good to me? It's laughable!"
Fan Xiaoyu snatched back the drink from Liu Wentian's hand and gulped it down, snorting coldly, "Men are indeed all scum!"
Liu Wentian gave a wry smile, finding himself blamed again.
But her boyfriend, he really was no good, what kind of man sends his own woman to sleep with his boss just to climb the ladder? Once there's a first time, there will be a second time; all that 'I'll treat you well in the future' is nonsense!
At that moment, in a corner of the bar, a group of young men and women were staring at the two of them.
It was the group that had been speeding on motorcycles that day and nearly hit the little loli Mengmeng.
