Chapter 54: Chapter 0054: In Danger
“Did you see that group that just came in, the two women and a man? That taller woman, not bad at all, pretty spicy.”
“Finally something fresh. I’m definitely going to score with that woman today, and none of you can compete with me.”
“Who would dare to compete with you, Young Master Xie? Rest assured, she’s as good as yours.”
A few people chimed in, and the man known as Young Master Xie was very pleased with himself, downing his drink and readying to make his move.
The trio found a spot at the bar. Shen Zichu wasn’t really into these kinds of places, but he didn’t utterly despise them either.
Gu Xiaoman was always so busy that she hardly had any leisure activities; even when she had some time off, she preferred to game at home.
As for Mu Lan, she was completely clueless.
“I thought nightclubs were supposed to be fun. Why is this so boring?”
“Who are you asking? It was your idea to come here.”
Shen Zichu rolled his eyes at Mu Lan.
If Huo Tingxiao found out that he had taken his wife to a nightclub, he might very well skin him alive.
“Hey, you two, could you stop looking like you’ve just come from a funeral? We’re here now, so when in Rome, do as the Romans do.
Have you never eaten pork or seen a pig run? Just look at what everyone else is doing.
No matter what, don’t show any weakness!”
Gu Xiaoman had a point, so Mu Lan’s eyes lit up with an idea, and she decided to throw Shen Zichu under the bus.
“Come on, you two, show me how it’s done first. I’ll watch and learn.”
“You can’t be serious… You don’t—”
“Shut it and go dance.”
Saying this, Gu Xiaoman dragged Shen Zichu away.
Mu Lan sat on the high stool, sipping her drink and laughing uncontrollably at the two’s dance moves, which were akin to that of an elderly disco, naturally swaying her body to the music.
Sure enough, someone came over to hit on her.
“Beautiful, are you alone?”
The underling sent out by Xie Bin approached and, upon a closer look, found Mu Lan’s beauty and figure absolutely show-stopping.
“Sorry, my friends are still around.”
Mu Lan immediately wiped the smile off her face, directly rejecting him. However, the man wasn’t deterred by the rejection; in fact, his smile became even sleazier.
“No problem, you can join your friends to play. Young Master Xie would like to get to know you.”
“Sorry, I’m not interested in meeting any Young Master Xie. Would you please leave me alone for a bit?”
The man frowned in displeasure.
“First time at this club, beauty? Young Master Xie happens to be a shareholder here. I’d advise you to not be too coy.”
Shareholder or not, what did that have to do with her? Why was this guy so full of nonsense?
Already annoyed, the last thing she needed during her rare moment of relaxation was an encounter with someone with no sense of boundaries.
“So what if he’s a shareholder? Does that give him the right to harass patrons? I said I’m not going. Can’t you understand Chinese?
If not, let me repeat that in French.”
With that, Mu Lan rattled off a string of French, leaving the man completely baffled.
The flunkey who had tried to pick her up returned to his booth, defeated, and was immediately slapped across the face by Xie Bin.
“Useless, good for nothing, always coming up short. What use are you to me?”
“I’m sorry, Young Master Xie, but that woman is putting on airs. I mentioned your name, and she still didn’t give a damn. Isn’t that just outright disrespect to you, Young Master Xie?”
“This is too much. Not showing any respect for our Young Master Xie. She’s choosing punishment over a toast!”
Xie Bin always cared about his face, and egged on by the others, he couldn’t take the hit to his pride. He was about to go straight for Mu Lan when he noticed her heading to the restroom.
“Hmph, just a woman. Watch how I deal with her.”
With that, he stood up and went directly to the restroom to corner Mu Lan.
Seeing a man standing by the door startled Mu Lan.
“Excuse me, sir, may I get through?”
The other party didn’t move an inch, clearly on purpose to block her way.
“Sir?”
“My name is Xie Bin, how about a drink together?”
The man’s nonchalant attitude made Mu Lan frown in disgust.
This type of wealthy second-generation kid thinks he is above everyone else just because he has some money.
“I’ve already made it very clear to your friend that I won’t drink.”
“You don’t know who I am, do you?”
Xie Bin’s face bore a cynically amused smile, eyeing Mu Lan maliciously. This woman was spicy, and also beautiful enough to justify her arrogance—she truly had the capital for it.
“Who you are is utterly unimportant to me, please step aside.”
Saying that, she swatted Xie Bin’s hand away, but after only a couple of steps, someone grabbed her wrist forcefully, and with one tug, Mu Lan was pulled into the man’s arms.
“I’m actually seeing someone who doesn’t show face for the first time. I am a major shareholder of this venue, and our family has quite a few properties in Sea City. You won’t lose out if you follow me.”
His words made Mu Lan laugh out of anger. Just because he owned some properties, did he think women should throw themselves at him?
“So your last name is Xie? You’ve got guts. Do you know who I am?”
Xie Bin still didn’t realize whom he had provoked, laughing even more roguishly.
“You’ll be my woman in the future.”
“If you don’t want to mess with Huo Tingxiao, you’d better let go and get lost right now.”
As soon as she said this, Mu Lan felt she had lost her spirit. Faced with danger, the first person she thought of was Huo Tingxiao. She even resorted to using his name, pushing Mu Huaifeng to the side.
“Huo Tingxiao? Hahaha… You sure have the nerve to say that. What, are you Huo Tingxiao’s lover?
Tsk tsk, then I’m even less likely to let go. Being with a woman who’s been with Huo Tingxiao, I wouldn’t complain.”
To his shamelessness, Mu Lan fiercely kicked at his groin.
Caught off guard, Xie Bin immediately knelt in front of Mu Lan, his face wincing in agony.
“You motherf…”
“People like you should be cut off from future generations. Stop messing with me.”
She pulled her hand away and was about to leave when several men surrounded her.
“Damn, take this chick up to the second-floor private room. I’m going to deal with her right now.”
Mu Lan realized something was wrong and tried to escape immediately, but the men were experienced and swiftly covered her mouth with a handkerchief, dragging her upstairs.
The two people who were partying in the dance area didn’t notice Mu Lan was missing until the music stopped, and Shen Zichu couldn’t see Mu Lan anywhere after a quick glance around.
“Where’s the girl who was sitting here?”
The bartender shook his head, indicating he had no idea.
“I’ll check the restroom, you give her a call.”
With that, Gu Xiaoman stood up and headed to the restroom, but didn’t find Mu Lan.
And Shen Zichu got no answer from the phone call.
Returning to the bar, looking at Shen Zichu’s frowned expression, Gu Xiaoman asked worriedly.
“Did she pick up?”
“No.”
Meanwhile, in the upstairs private room, Mu Lan was held by several men, with Xie Bin looking at her with a sleazy smile.
“Dare to get rough with me, you really don’t want to live, huh? Talking nicely didn’t work with you, so do we have to get rough?”
“I advise you to let go of me right now. If you dare to touch a single hair on my head, not only will you offend the Huo Family, but Mu Group won’t let you off either!”
What do you think?
