Chapter 180 Phillip Family
As soon as Su Chen had finished speaking, he was unsurprisingly ganged up on by two women.
It could only be said that this guy was truly shameless. Faced with a flurry of playful punches, Su Chen had no choice but to beg for mercy.
Dealing with Xiao Yaning was one thing, but Ye Mei was the big sister after all—how could she not have some tricks up her sleeve?
However, naturally, the two women didn't really mean to do anything to Su Chen; it was merely their way of venting their embarrassment and indignation. Once they were tired, they naturally stopped.
Then, as if nothing had happened, the group resumed eating and drinking, and they were incredibly happy.
"Ye Mei, what have you been up to lately? You seem quite busy," Su Chen suddenly asked. The reason for his question was that during a phone call a while back, Ye Mei had hung up after just a few sentences, claiming she had things to do.
"Recently, I've been busy with a transformation, so there's a bit more to do," Ye Mei said nonchalantly.
"A transformation? What kind?"
"You know, a lot of our Red Rose's business involves unorthodox operations, and these can't last forever. So, I'm thinking of taking advantage of our current situation to shift gears," she explained.
"After all, only legitimate business can endure in the long run, and if done well, it can bring in much more than any shady deals," Ye Mei said with confidence, showing a hint of a business tycoon's demeanor. Su Chen felt that at this moment, Ye Mei even had a bit of Lin Ruoxue's aura about her.
"I support your idea, wish you success!" Su Chen raised his glass with a smile.
"I support you too, Ye Mei. Why don't I join you in your endeavors?" Xiao Yaning also raised her glass, looking quite excited.
"What about your club?" Su Chen asked curiously, as he knew that the club was doing well.
"Yeah, Yaning, you have to manage that club. How will you have the energy for this?" Ye Mei joined in with a question of her own.
"That thing belongs to him. Since I am not his daughter, and he never treated me as such, how could I possibly want his property? I returned it to him a few days ago," Xiao Yaning said coldly, feeling some turmoil in her heart at the mention of him.
Hearing Xiao Yaning's words, both Su Chen and Ye Mei let out a sigh. Ye Mei had already heard about that day's events from Xiao Yaning, except, of course, for Su Chen's homicide.
Moments later, Ye Mei broke into a smile and said heartily:
"Alright, from now on you're with me, sister. I'll show you the good life, spice up your drinks, and we'll hang out with the hottest guys!"
"Deal, but you have to let me have the hot guys when we meet them!"
"Of course!"
The two women clinked glasses fiercely and downed their drinks.
And that wasn't all; the two seemed so happy about working together that they went on to drink several more glasses.
A flush of rosiness crept onto both women's cheeks, making them look stunning!
"What a couple of crazy women!"
Su Chen muttered, displeased, and pouted. Hang out with the hottest guys? Could there be anyone hotter than him?
"Yo, is our little Chen Chen upset?"
Ye Mei, perhaps a little tipsy or just playful, walked over to Su Chen, draped her arm over his shoulder, and chuckled.
Inspired by Ye Mei, Xiao Yaning seemed to catch the craziness as well, approaching Su Chen from the other side and gently caressing his cheek:
"You're quite good-looking too. How about your two sisters take care of you first?"
Caught between these two crazy women, Su Chen was at a loss for words while the unique fragrance emanating from their bodies reached his nose, stirring desires within him.
"Can you both please sit back down?"
Su Chen pleaded, as the two female ruffians were now extending their delicate hands and playfully touching him all over.
And Su Chen, as a man, found it very difficult to remain unaffected in such a situation.
"Perhaps they really are drunk," he thought to himself. What other explanation could there be?
However, when the two women caught each other's glances, they saw a hint of shyness on each other's faces.
Yet they both pretended to be completely unaware and continued to tease Su Chen.
Perhaps they were seven parts drunk and three parts sober, taking advantage of the alcohol to do things they normally wanted to do but did not dare.
Su Chen was being attended to by two super beauties like this and felt his body heat up. He wanted desperately to just go for it, but his reason told him he absolutely must not.
What is even happening here?
It's always me flirting with beauties; I never imagined that today I would be the one being teased by two beauties and that I would have to endure it!
"No way!"
Suddenly, Su Chen stood up, pushing the two women away a bit, because just now, Ye Mei's slender hand had already touched his belt.
"I'm going to use the restroom."
Su Chen didn't wait for the women to react before pulling open the door and running out.
After Su Chen ran out, both women felt incredibly awkward.
They both thought:
What on earth did I just do? It was so embarrassing! So hooligan! To do such things to a man...
"I'm going to use the restroom."
"I'm going to use the restroom."
The two women spoke at the same time, and they even said the same thing.
The two women left with their faces flushed, thankfully the restaurant had more than one restroom, each heading in a different direction.
Of course, what they went out for was not really to relieve themselves, but to wash their faces!
After returning from the restroom, Su Chen found nobody else around and was somewhat puzzled.
However, a few minutes later, both women also came back one after the other.
Once seated again, the three of them just focused on their meals without speaking. Regarding the earlier incident, they all tacitly did not mention a single word about it.
The scene was very quiet, so quiet it could even be described as eerie.
Just then, a ringtone sounded, breaking the silence with its abruptness.
"Mine,"
Ye Mei said with a smile and answered the call.

To Su Chen and Xiao Yaning's surprise, Ye Mei's expression grew more and more excited as she listened to the call, as if she had stumbled upon some fantastic news.
"What's up? Did something good happen? You seem thrilled," Su Chen asked immediately after Ye Mei hung up.
"Good news, the best news," Ye Mei chirped, her face beaming with joy, "Just now, the person in charge of Almei Group in Asia contacted us, saying they're interested in cooperating with us and want to discuss it further in a few days."
After deciding to shift gears, Ye Mei had been looking for partners to collaborate with, but domestic corporations knew all about the background of Red Rose and were a bit hesitant about cooperation.
In her desperation, Ye Mei turned her attention overseas and, through a fortunate encounter, got acquainted with the Asia regional head of Almei Corporation. She instantly realized this was a great opportunity.
So she acted quickly, and after paying a hefty price, finally received an expression of interest in cooperation.
"You know what? This Almei Corporation is no small deal; their headquarters are in Europe, and it's said they're backed by the mysterious Phillip Family."
Ye Mei's eyes shimmered with excitement, and her whole demeanor was like that of a little girl who had received her favorite gift.
"The Phillip Family?"
Upon hearing the name "Phillip Family," Su Chen couldn't help but murmur it.
