Standing next to Li Qianyi, Wu Lijun giggled behind her hand. The demeaning look she gave Song Yu was as if she stumbled upon obscenity. “Song Yu, even though you lost your status as a lady from a notable family, that face of yours still gets you to places huh? Shengyue, now Red Roof, you just keep climbing up the ranks. Your employer must like you a lot to bring you to Red Roof Club, this place is not cheap.”

Song Yu’s expression sunk thoroughly. The insinuation behind Wu Lijun’s words were so clear-cut that there was no way Song Yu could have missed the underlying meaning.

“Don’t say stuff like that, Lijun. Maybe the circumstances in Song Yu’s life were so dire that she had to no other choice. Back in the day, she was the noblest and most beautiful girl in the school, and yet today she’s facing such hardships. What she’s doing is no more than sitting around the drinking table, laughing and befriending her clients, and now she’s…” Li Qianyi put on a hesitant appearance.

She paused her sentence halfway and shook her head in dismay. “Song Yu, if you really need help, tell us. We’re all friends and I’m sure there’s something we can do to help. Don’t degrade yourself. Secrets can’t be kept forever and if your reputation turns bad, how’re you going to marry next time?”

From the looks of it, Li Qianyi’s words seemed to show concern toward Song Yu. In actuality, each of those sentences slandered her by saying that she made a living through sleeping with and befriending guests.

Song Yu’s expression turned stone-cold and an uncontrollable anger was burning within her heart.

At first, these people had nothing to do with her so there was no need for her to explain anything to them or clear her reputation. She wanted to just nod and make sure she never cross path with them again in the future. After hearing their words, though, she was unable to resist firing back some of her own.

She became blank, however, just as soon as she wanted to speak.

Standing a mere few steps behind them was Qi Chengzhi.

There was a cigarette in between his lips. His suit jacket had been left inside the room and his dress shirt was folded up to the elbows, revealing his strong forearms.

His necktie – the tail end of which was stuffed into the placket of his shirt – was loosened considerably and three of his shirt buttons were opened. His left shoulder leaned against the wall, supporting his lean figure. Such a pose made his legs look much longer than it normally was.

Having listened to Li Qianyi’s words, Qi Chengzhi squinted. His clean, well-defined, and slender fingers reached for the cigarette; a puff of smoke was then exhaled from his stern-looking lips.

Even in such a time, Song Yu still became absent-minded when looking at him. She felt that he had a bad-boy look. She began to feel worried for Li Qianyi and her group as she saw he squint.

She did not notice when he arrived, how long had he been standing there, or how much of their conversations had he heard.

Nonetheless, her heart calmed down the instant she saw him. The anger she previously had disappeared and she realized that Li Qianyi’s words were undeserving of her wrath.

Her heart had something to rely on and the thing she wanted to do most was to run right into his embrace.

During the moment where Song Yu went blank and was unable to refute them, a man behind Li Qianyi said, “Song Yu, why waste yourself on them? The men you befriend must be rather old, right? They’d have a wife. And since they’re middle-aged, their body, their looks, not to mention their stamina, won’t be any good.”

“If you wanted to find someone, you might as well find me. It won’t be a one-off transaction with me. Cars, houses, and just about everything, will be yours if you become my woman. I guarantee you’ll be as well-off as you were previously. And if you go out with me, no one would dare to look down on you,” Gao Jingqiu proclaimed arrogantly. His gaze swept across Song Yu’s face but he was not able to contain the redness of his lust and desire.

In truth, he liked Song Yu ever since they were in Jixia High School.

At that time, however, Song Yu was betrothed to Qi Chengji and there was no way he could offend the Qi family.

He knew that plenty of guys in high school liked Song Yu, but no one dared to hit Song Yu up because that would be interfering with the Qi family.

The opportunity came when the Song family went bankrupt some time later. It was a pity, though, because by then, he lost contact with Song Yu.

Song Yu remained in Gao Jingqiu’s heart for a long time. Although he feared that he would not see her again in his lifetime, the feelings he had for her were kept buried in his heart.

He did not expect the heavens to look kindly upon him, for it was to his surprise that he met her there. Naturally, he would not let go of this opportunity.

Li Qianyi and the others seemed to suggest that Song Yu had slept with many men. Despite feeling disgusted, he saw how Song Yu’s pure and beautiful face looked seventeen or eighteen instead of twenty-five. Then, he felt as though he did not care how many men Song Yu slept with, all he cared about was to sleep with her.

After all, it did not matter if she was pure and clean, he would not marry her anyway. Even so, it was enough for him if he could make sure that he was her only man in the future.

It was such a coincidence that Song Yu lacked money. Was that not a sign that the Almighty was on his side?

Gao Jingqiu became more and more pleased. The corner of his lips could not resist curling up into a confident smile, as though he already had Song Yu eating from the palm of his hand.

Song Yu was so infuriated she did not know whether to laugh or cry. From the very beginning, she did not even say a single word, but those people had already drawn up their own conclusions for her. They completely disregarded the truth and they simply decided that whatever came out from their mouths was the correct version of events.

It was laughable to see them believing that they were infallible.

“Whose kid is this? So stupid that they’d flirt with my girl right in front of me.” Qi Chengzhi’s cold voice was heard just as words were about to spill from Song Yu’s mouth.

He threw the cigarette onto the floor and crushed it with his feet before walking toward her.

Placing his hands into his pant pockets, he walked over leisurely, with a confidence that seemed to stem from having everything in control.

She looked at Qi Chengzhi and then at the group who was in front of her. They were about the same age as her, around twenty-five. Gao Jingqiu alone had a distinct temperament, since he was the pampered son of a wealthy family. However, when compared to Qi Chengzhi, he was nothing but a naïve kid who could not possibly be on par with Qi Chengzhi.

If it were any other day, Qi Chengzhi would not have even looked at them.

Qi Chengzhi walked over to Song Yu’s side and placed his hand over her shoulders. He glanced at Gao Jingqiu and sneered suddenly, “I don’t have a wife, neither am I middle-aged. As far as I know, my looks, my body, and my stamina isn’t too bad. And I never knew that for one to become my girlfriend would be self-degrading.”

Gao Jingqiu’s face turned red immediately. Qi Chengzhi’s askance gaze and that brief mocking laughter was a clear indication of how lightly Qi Chengzhi regarded him.

Nevertheless, Gao Jingqiu was afraid to refute him.

Faced with Qi Chengzhi, he had no right to even raise his head.

There was an inevitable and vast change to their expressions. Once the redness of his humiliation began to subside, a pale white expression was all he had on his face.

He never imagined that Song Yu’s current boyfriend was Qi Chengzhi!

His words seemed to show that he was not simply playing around with Song Yu. In effect, he said that she was his girlfriend!

His hopes of getting her were all but dashed. Those days, when she was still engaged with Qi Chengji, he did not dare to try and win her over. What more when her man was replaced by the even more frightening Qi Chengzhi?

He was still clueless how she ended up with the elder brother after breaking up with the younger one. Surely it would not be nice if words had spread out?

However, he was not thinking of all that at the time. He thought about the words that he said previously and was not only anxious, but scared too. With no idea how Qi Chengzhi would deal with him, he was afraid to look directly at Qi Chengzhi.

There was none of that arrogance he displayed previously. In place of it was a petrified look that was absolutely disgraceful.

Li Qianyi and Wu Lijun were even more nervous. ‘Didn’t Guan Xiaolin say that Qi Chengzhi and Song Yu were not involved with each other?!’

All they hoped for was that Qi Chengzhi came late and did not manage to hear what they said.

Pale-faced, their singular intention was to keep their heads low and leave; a far cry from their prior enjoyment of laughing at Song Yu’s misfortune.

Song Yu saw how nervous they were but was not at all sympathetic toward them. Sympathy was reserved only for those deserving of it. If Qi Chengzhi did not appear, they would not have let her go and if that happened, the embarrassed party would have been her.

In light of that, Song Yu ignored their anxiousness without feeling burdened by it. She turned and looked at the reliable person beside her – the handsome, sculpture-like man – and said, “Why did you come out?”

Qi Chengzhi ignored them as well. He looked at Song Yu and saw her calm expression. He noticed happiness in both her eyes but he did not overlook the anger and frustration that was present when she was targeted by those people.

The warm hand that he wrapped behind her back held her even more firmly as he massaged her slender shoulders. His expression was reserved. “You went to the bathroom for a very long time. I was worried that you ran into some trouble, so I went out to look around.”

Qi Chengzhi’s enigmatic eyes then looked up at the regally-dressed attendant – who was preparing to escort Li Qianyi and co back into their room – and ordered, “Call Yan Beicheng out.”

Afraid to slight him, the attendant deserted Li Qianyi’s group and ran into Qi Chengzhi’s room without even knocking the door.

Not long later, Yan Beicheng came out while smoking his cigarette.

Sans tie, three buttons of his navy dress shirt were unfastened and his sleeves were folded a few times right up his arm. Both his hands were placed inside his pant pockets.

If Qi Chengzhi looked like a bad boy with a cigarette between his lips, Yan Beicheng would look as though he was itching to explode; his squinted eyes and relaxed smoking suggested it.

At first, she thought that Yan Beicheng would come out only by himself. Surprisingly, a few steps behind him were Qi Chenglin, Wei Zilin, and Chu Zhaoyang.

They either had a cigarette between their lips or between their fingers. They were taking advantage of her absence in the room to smoke a couple of rounds, it seemed.

Very consciously, they threw down and extinguished their cigarettes once they walked along the corridor and stood behind her.

As they stood behind her, they made for such an intimidating line-up that one would dread to open one’s eyes. Li Qianyi and her friends trembled immediately upon seeing them.

Li Qianyi’s group were not a match for even one person in Qi Chengzhi’s group.

It scarcely crossed Li Qianyi and her group’s mind that Song Yu would be involved in such an elite circle.

“What is it?” Yan Beicheng looked at Qi Chengzhi and Song Yu, then at Li Qianyi and the gang. He squinted his eyes teasingly.

Just by looking at the anxiously-pale expression that adorned the faces of Li Qianyi and her friends, Yan Beicheng surmised that Qi Chengzhi found them bullying Song Yu.

“Have your club’s standards dropped so low that anyone can enter? Didn’t your club stipulate from the beginning that only those of the upper class are allowed? Why is it that those who simply have the money can also pass themselves off as being upper class?” Qi Chengzhi looked askance at Yan Beicheng.

Li Qianyi and her group were thoroughly insulted by his words but they did not speak even though they were angry.

“Did they pick on our sis-in-law?” Yan Beicheng squinted. Back in the room, he clearly could not bring himself to call her his sister-in-law but it came out so naturally then. Evidently, he was giving Song Yu face by calling her that in front of those people.

As a result of Yan Beicheng’s words, Li Qianyi’s and Wu Lijun’s lips trembled slightly. Even those who were utterly brainless would know the significance of someone like Yan Beicheng calling her his sister-in-law.

Qi Chengzhi was serious with Song Yu?

Qi Chengzhi did not speak. Without needing to display his anger, his sternly-pursed lips and expressionless face was enough to make the other party feel nervous.

“My sis-in-law was wronged on your turf. You decide how to settle the situation!” Qi Chenglin placed both hands into his pant pockets and remarked frigidly.

Wei Zilin chuckled softly and snickered, “Your club seems to be less and less picky in choosing guests. Since today’s good spirits has been ruined, perhaps our bros can’t have their fun anymore in the future?”

Chu Zhaoyang, a man of few words, simply had a stony expression when summing up everything in three words. “Such low standards.”

Yan Beicheng chuckled a simple ‘Hehe’ and turned to the attendant. “Send these five people out. Remember their names, their faces, and ban them for life from this club.”

The expression of all five changed drastically into a contorted ugliness as a result of the insults.

Gao Jingqiu had enough. How could he take such relentless insults!

He lambasted, “We are paying guests of the club. Young Master Yan, is this how you treat your guests?”

“Guest or not, you have to follow my standards. Guests of our club must fulfil the prerequisite of being those who have attained certain social status. Do you and your bunch of family-dishonoring jokers fulfil that requirement? If no, then please leave immediately. Don’t tarnish our club by being here.” Yan Beicheng waved his hands, as if to shoo off a fly.

Noticing them standing still with their ever-changing expressions, Yan Beicheng’s temper flared up. In a moment of impatience, he ordered the attendant, “Call security! Throw them out!”

“No need, we’ll go,” Li Zhuoan said calmly while standing beside Gao Jingqiu. He had listened to the jibes aimed at Song Yu earlier on but he neither stopped Li Qianyi nor participated in the insults.

He seemed to be the brains of the group, since no one refuted him when he said those words. On close inspection, he did seem more level-headed and more mature than the others.

Furthermore, if they really were escorted out by security, the ensuing ruckus would be massive and it would be even more humiliating.

Knowing that Yan Beicheng was not playing the fool, all that Li Qianyi and her group could do was preserve the last shred of their dignity and head down with Li Zhuoan.

Li Zhuoan took a few steps forward past Li Qianyi and stopped in front of Song Yu.

“They were taking things too far with what they said just now. It was a misunderstanding, I’m sorry,” Li Zhuoan said softly. His clear eyes, under his long eyelashes, looked at Song Yu’s fair-skinned face.

Before Song Yu could say anything, Qi Chengzhi squinted and said amorously, “Let’s go.” He placed his arms around Song Yu’s shoulders and walked past the room that Li Zhuoan and the gang was previously in, leaving the latter stranded awkwardly without hearing a reply from Song Yu.

Li Zhuoan smiled bitterly and turned around to look. Li Qianyi and the others were still reeling from the blow and no one noticed what Li Zhuoan had done.

Qi Chengzhi hugged Song Yu even tighter, so tight that her shoulder was beginning to feel sore from the grasp of his large hand.

He looked at her beauty and could not help but feel a surge of anger. Such a fickle woman! A simple trip to the bathroom was enough for her to attract other men!

The mere thought of it sent his blood boiling. He could care less if there was a hoard of people looking at him, he simply lowered his head and planted a fierce kiss on her lips.

“Ngh…” Song Yu was shocked because she never imagined he would kiss her so abruptly as to whenever he felt like it; they were still walking when the kiss happened.

Pressure on her lips forced them to open involuntarily. The taste of tobacco and hard liquor surged forth with force. After a bout of unbridled slurping and stirring, he released her.

She did not resist even though she knew she was shy. His kisses left her redder than a plum. With her lips still tender and moist, she found that her breathing turned heavy. Qi Chengzhi’s anger subsided and was replaced with an upbeat feeling. The corner of his lips curled up unknowingly.

Song Yu simply felt confused because she did not know what was it that came over him. His feelings were just like a thunderstorm, coming in bursts and bursts.
