Chapter 210: Jiang Ruoxi Feels Like Going to a Bar

    [Ding~! The female lead, Jiang Ruoxi’s attitude towards you has changed to indifferent. To prevent the host from farming goodwill points, no more villain points will be awarded after recovery.].

    Seeing Jiang Ruoxi in front of him, Xiao Feiyu knew all his efforts had been in vain. Just when he had finally managed to change Jiang Ruoxi’s attitude towards him a bit, an encounter with Su Lin and Lin Xiaowan turned everything sour, resulting in the current situation.

    Xiao Feiyu was truly frustrated and couldn’t take action against Su Lin and Lin Xiaowan, as he was not their match.

    “Okay, I’ve already ordered the dishes. You should go back inside; your parents are waiting for you.”

    Xiao Feiyu turned to Jiang Ruoxi and asked, “Aren’t you coming in with me?”

    Jiang Ruoxi shook her head. “I’d rather not go in. Since Aunt Gao hasn’t sent any message yet, please don’t contact me anymore.”

    Seeing this, Su Lin and Lin Xiaowan tactfully left.

    Jiang Ruoxi called out from behind, “Su Lin, Xiaowan, wait for me. I’ll come with you.”

    “Sure, Ruoxi~!!”

    Xiao Feiyu watched helplessly as Jiang Ruoxi left with Su Lin and Lin Xiaowan. He suddenly felt that canceling the engagement might not have been the right decision. However, thinking he would eventually have the last laugh, he reassured himself about his choice.

    “Su Lin, Xiaowan, why are you eating here again today?”

    Su Lin replied, “Because this place belongs to the Li family, so Xiaowan and I don’t have to pay for our meals here.”

    “Heh~ Really?”

    Lin Xiaowan rolled her eyes at Su Lin and clarified, “Don’t listen to him; we’re here because my dad is visiting, and we’re hosting him here.”

    “Oh, I see. But why did you come out? Aren’t you supposed to stay with your dad?”

    “My dad is still discussing business, so we came out first. Ruoxi, do you want to come with us?” Lin Xiaowan invited warmly.

    Jiang Ruoxi shook her head, feeling rather low. If there had been any redeeming quality left in Xiao Feiyu’s eyes before, it was his deep devotion. However, after today’s events, she realized even that devotion was just a facade, which crumbled the moment he saw Zhao Yanyan and Lin Xiaowan.

    The real reason why he wanted to call off their engagement became apparent—he was infatuated with someone else.

    Jiang didn’t care about his change of heart; what she found despicable was his behavior, liking Su Lin’s girlfriend and speaking ill of him. Such actions could only come from Xiao Feiyu.

    Now that she saw Xiao Feiyu’s true colors, Jiang felt somewhat relieved. It was just a little sad; after all, she had known him since childhood, and only today did she truly see his true nature.

    “Ruoxi, what are you thinking about? We’re talking to you.”

    Embarrassed, She snapped back to reality. “Sorry, Xiaowan, my mind was elsewhere.”

    “Oh, no worries. I was just letting you know that Su Lin and I are heading back first.”

    Jiang nodded. “Okay~!!”

    Watching Lin Xiaowan and Su Lin leave together, she felt a bit envious. Su Lin, despite being a bit of a playboy, was very different from Xiao Feiyu.

    He never hid his feelings and didn’t treat his multiple girlfriends unfairly; instead, he felt he owed them and compensated them in various ways. That’s why Lin Xiaowan and the other girls felt so happy with him.

    “Su Lin’s guy? He has people working for him?” Jiang Ruoxi was curious.

    Li Ziyu nodded, “There’s quite a story there. Want to hear it?”

    “Yes, absolutely. You know I’m all ears for this kind of stuff,” Jiang Ruoxi said, eager to know more.

    Li Ziyu shook her head, “It’s a bit complicated. It starts with the rivalry between Su Lin and Xiao Chen, the heir to the Ghost Doctor. That itself is a whole saga.”

    “Wow, I really want to hear this. Tell me everything,” Jiang Ruoxi urged, excited.

    As they talked, Jiang Ruoxi’s Ferrari attracted a lot of attention as they parked. Many turned their heads towards the flashy car.

    Meanwhile, in the manager’s office of Four Seas Bar: “Manager Yu, a Ferrari just pulled up at the entrance.”

    “A Ferrari? Since when did you start getting excited about Ferraris? We see them all the time here.”

    “Cough... But this one has a Modu license plate.”

    “A Modu plate?” Yu Chao’s eyes narrowed suddenly.

    Luo Sihai had warned him that many people from significant families would be visiting Donghai and to keep an eye out for luxury cars from out of town, as their occupants might be important guests needing extra security.

    Luo Sihai had risen in Donghai not just through brute force but also with his wits; otherwise, he’d have been long gone. Yu Chao trusted Luo’s advice implicitly. He had been noticing a lot of luxury cars lately, mostly business types like Bentleys and Rolls-Royces, the types of cars that clearly said something about their occupants.

    Young people favored supercars, and today seemed to be the day when a second-generation rich kid decided to visit.

    “Yes, it’s definitely a Modu plate. You told us to watch out for those specifically.”

    Yu Chao nodded, “Okay, go back to your duties. Just keep things smooth, no disturbances, got it?”

    “Understood, Manager.”

    “Mm~!!”

    As the security staff member left, Yu Chao got up and paced the office before deciding to call Luo Sihai.

    “Boss Luo... About that out-of-town plate you mentioned to keep an eye on...”

    Before Yu Chao could finish, the security staff member rushed back in, “Manager, the people from the car are... it’s...”

    “Who is it?” Yu Chao frowned, annoyed by the guard’s lack of composure.

    “It’s the current head of the Li family, Li Ziyu—the one you showed us pictures of.”

    Luo Sihai, overhearing this from the phone, perked up immediately, “It’s her? Xiao Chao, make sure she’s well taken care of, I’ll be right over.”

    “What, Boss, you’re coming over yourself?”

    “Yes, just make sure she’s comfortable. Don’t worry about the rest; I’ll be there soon.”

    “Got it, Boss.”

    After hanging up, Yu Chao was left stunned. This was the power of Donghai’s top family; just a casual visit to a bar warranted the chairman’s personal appearance?
