Chapter 39
"Hey, Eldest Sister Su."
"Huo Chengxi, where is Little Seven? Is Little Seven with you? Where did you take her?!" Su Yinghe's agitated voice unconsciously grew louder.
Huo Chengxi helplessly responded. What a damn coincidence. "Eldest Sister Su, Little Seven was just calling you. We're at the Night Club. Do you want to come over now?"
"What? You took Little Seven to the Night Club? Huo Chengxi, you've got some nerve!" Su Yinghe's voice grew even louder.
Huo Chengxi rubbed his nose and responded, "It wasn't me. Little Sev-"
His explanation was interrupted by Su Yinghe. "Okay, I'll be there soon. Just you wait. Oh right, don't let Little Seven drink any alcohol!"
"Okay, okay. I ordered fruit juice for her. Don't worry," Huo Chengxi quickly responded.
Su Yinghe hung up the phone, got into the backseat of the car, and told the driver, "Go to the Night Club."
"Yes, Miss," the driver responded.
Inside the nightclub, Jian Xi had moved closer when she heard Huo Chengxi call out "Eldest Sister Su." She asked, "Was that a call from Eldest Sister? Is she coming?"
"Yes, she'll be here soon. Let's wait for a bit," Huo Chengxi responded, feeling somewhat troubled that he would inevitably receive a tongue-lashing from Eldest Sister Su later!
After finishing a glass of fruit juice, Jian Xi felt the urge to use the restroom. "Sixth Brother, I need to go to the restroom real quick."
"I'll go with you," Huo Chengxi put down his drink and stood up.
Jian Xi stopped him, "No need. I'll go by myself. It's just over there." She pointed in a direction to show she knew where the restroom was.
"Okay, come back quickly and don't wander around," Huo Chengxi saw that she knew where it was and didn't say anything else as he sat back down on the sofa.
After going to the bathroom, Jian Xi was washing her hands at the sink when there was suddenly a loud thud as the door behind her slammed shut. Jian Xi was startled.
She looked up at the mirror which reflected a couple passionately kissing behind her.
The restroom was divided into two sides for men and women, but the sink area was open.
It was quite awkward.
The man and woman were fiercely clinging to each other, completely oblivious to Jian Xi washing her hands there.
A faint blush appeared on her cheeks, but outwardly she didn't show it. She thought to herself, the nightclub is quite disorderly and bored, no wonder Sixth Brother didn't want to bring her here. She better leave quickly with Eldest Sister when she arrives!
Trying to minimize her presence, she walked around to the other side and headed out of the restroom.
The couple was so engrossed they didn't notice her at all.
Outside the restroom, Jian Xi felt relieved. She walked towards the private lounge area.
While walking, she pulled out her phone to send a message to He Qingchen asking what time the banquet would end.
Looking down at her phone, she didn't notice several people walking straight towards her. She accidently stepped on the foot of the man in the middle.
"I'm so sorry, are you injured?" Jian Xi quickly apologized.
"You f&%#@$..." The man named Yan Sen was about to curse from the pain but instantly stopped when Jian Xi looked up at him.
Where the hell did this fairy-like beauty come from? She's way too pretty! "Oh, no problem. I'm not injured. Are you okay? Did you hurt your foot stepping on me?" He took a step closer and gave what he thought was a gentle, charming smile.
Jian Xi frowned and took a step back. "Sorry, if you're okay then I'll be on my way."
Yan Sen saw she wanted to leave but how could he let her get away. Such a beauty and still seemingly pure and innocent looking, definitely hasn't been tainted by other men!
"Wait, little sister. Let's get acquainted first and be friends." He stepped towards her again.
The others with him all thought, Young Master Yan has his eye on this one. Although they were also shocked by her beauty, they didn't dare compete with Young Master for a woman!
A glint of coldness appeared in Jian Xi's eyes. The corners of her lips turned up in a slight smile as she said "Oh? You want to get acquainted with me?"
Yan Sen didn't notice the momentary profound look in her eyes. Hearing she was interested, his smile deepened. "I do. Let me introduce myself, I am Yan Family's Second Young Master Yan Sen. You must have heard of the Yan Family right?"
Jian Xi just looked at him quietly without responding as he continued boasting. "Our Yan Family is one of the top families in B City, on par with the He Family. We stand at the very top. If you become friends with me, I guarantee I can let you have free rein in B City and no one would dare bother you!"
"Thank you for the offer, but no need. I don't require that. Goodbye." Not wanting to hear more of his nonsense, Jian Xi figured it was about time for Eldest Sister to arrive.
She walked off to the side to go around them and back to the lounge area.
Yan Sen saw she was leaving but how could he allow that. She was his first target tonight, he couldn't lose her.
"Wait! Did I allow you to leave?" Just as he was about reach out to grab Jian Xi's shoulder, the world spun and immense pain exploded on his back.
His followers were still watching the show and hadn't expected this girl who looked to be a high schooler to judo flip a six foot tall Yan Sen.
Indeed, when Yan Sen stretched out his arm, Jian Xi had immediately thrown him over her shoulder onto the floor.
She looked down at the groaning Yan Sen and blinked innocently. "I thought the esteemed Yan Family would have taught you not to casually grab girls."
"You!" Yan Sen glared at her furiously. "What are you guys standing around for? Grab her! Fuck, if you won't drink the wine, then you'll drink forfeit!" He picked himself off the ground.
The men started towards Jian Xi when an alluring yet angry voice called out. "Let's see which one of you dares to touch her!"
Jian Xi's eyes lit up. Eldest sister is here!
Hearing the voice, Yan Sen and his gang were stunned into silence. Why was Young Miss Su here?
"What a coincidence to run into Young Miss Su here. How fortunate!" Yan Sen smiled brightly at Su Yinghe.
This year, his Yan Family finally managed to partner with the Su Group after much effort. He must make a good impression on the young miss to gain her favor, which would surely allow him to surpass that man in his father's eyes!
Su Yinghe looked at him in distaste, curling her lips. "Oh I remember now...isn't it that illegitimate child of the Yans...Yan Sen?"
"Yan Sen, nice to meet you," he smiled obsequiously.
"Hmph," Su Yinghe disdainfully laughed and slowly walked over.
She had come straight from the banquet and hadn't had time to change. Her red skin tight halter evening gown had a slit on one side revealing glimpses of her fair, delicate thigh. Her 8cm stiletto heels clicked crisply on the marble floor with every step. Her powerful aura made everyone unconsciously straighten their backs as if to welcome the queen.
