Chapter 722: Threshing Wastrels
Translator: Udeze Editor: Udeze
Changxi City was not a first-tier or second-tier city, but the construction and development of the cities in the Southern Region were still thriving and prosperous. The entertainment establishments here were comparable to Shanghai’s, and the Red Pavilion was a large-scale entertainment center with a variety of leisure and recreational facilities.
At the fitness area.
Han Qingwu had taken off her coat and put on a black vest and sweatpants. The fighting match tonight was very important to her, and she did not dare to slack off, so she did warmups ahead of time, adjusting her body and mind to the best condition, as it was her very purpose of coming here.
Punching out with a thousand pounds striking power was not an issue with her current strength. After the training she had with the expert from the Everlasting Feast Hall, coupled with dozens of matches she had gone through in the underground fighting arena, she could be regarded as a battle-hardened fighter now. While standing in front of the dumbbells, her movements looked very casual and she did not appear to struggle even with the heaviest dumbbells.
“Brother Chong, there’s quite a belle here, and she got a darn great body!”
At the access to the fitness area’s entrance, two young men came in with a towel, one of them, whose nose was sticking out and had a monkey-like face and sweat on his forehead, looked at Han Qingwu exercising and his eyes suddenly lit up, blowing a whistle and grinning.
Zhou Chong raised his brow. After observing Han Qingwu a couple of times, he then nodded and said, “The best quality indeed. Great front and awesome back, added with a darn great body. Chen Shuai, wanna gamble with me to win that belle today?”
“You want to gamble?” Chen Shuai rolled his eyes. “Do you think I’m a masochist? Every time we play this game I always lose to you. The darn Heavens were really unfair to me. How the hell did they name me Shuai (handsome) but did not give me at least a proper face?”
Zhou Chong smilingly said, “You can’t eat with good looks alone, though. You know, although one’s looks are the first thing women see, a few of them are kind of content with men’s inner looks. So maybe… that belle is an exception, a special case like I said, no? Alright, 100 stakes, man. Do you dare to bet with me?”
Chen Shuai blanked and immediately frowned, “You really want to play big, huh?”
Zhou Chong smiled and nodded in response.
Thinking for a moment, Chen Shuai then seemed to be ready to risk everything and said, “Fine, let’s play! Who’s afraid who, huh? Worse come to worst, I’ll just pass through the month broke. No big deal. You just wait here, buddy. I’ll definitely win this game and come back with that belle.”
“I’ll be waiting.” Zhou Chong folded his arms while smiling.
Chen Shuai sorted out his clothes and let out a confident smile. After coming to Han Qingwu’s side, he tried hard to impersonate a gentleman and said, “Care to chat, beauty?”
Han Qingwu only cast a sidelong glance at him and directly treated him like air. She had good looks and stature and was often approached by men who wanted to talk to her, hence the choice she opted the most when facing these type of wastrels was to ignore them.
As though having expected such a result, Chen Shuai did not seem to be disheartened. Instead, he moved closer to Han Qingwu and said, “Beauty, I’m betting with my buddy whether I can take you with me. The stake is 100. As long as you’re willing, how about we share half of the booty?”
“…”
A disgusted look flashed in Han Qingwu’s eyes, and she still did not respond.
Chen Shuai frowned. He thought about it and quickly added, “That 100 stake I told you is actually 1 million. I know I’m not a handsome guy and only a few women find me to their liking. But since I have taken the gamble, could you at least help me win it this time? As long as you’re willing to cooperate with me, I’ll give you 500 thousand yuan.”
“Scram!” Han Qinwu only spat out a word indifferently.
Chen Shuai’s expression froze and stared blankly at Han Qingwu for a long while. While suppressing his anger, he said, “Do you know the Bitao Group in Changxi City? I’m the son of its chairman, Chen Shuai. As long as you’re willing to play this game with me, I’ll give you the full 1 million bet prize.”
“I told you to scram! Don’t make me say it the third time,” said Han Qingwu coldly.
Chen Shuai gasped for breath. He did not expect this woman to not know chalk from cheese, so greedy and insatiable. 1 million yuan to act for a few minutes, yet she did not give him face at all. If not for the gambling with Zhou Chong, he would directly thrash this bitch.
“You really don’t know what’s good and bad. Offending me will not end up in a good way if you seek a living in Changxi. I’ll give you one last chance before I turn around and go back to my buddy. If you still refuse, don’t blame me for ignoring any decorum.”
With that said, he turned away with anger.
Finally, Han Qingwu looked at him and secretly lamented inwardly that there really were too many trash in this world. If it wasn’t for her unwillingness to have more troublesome matters come to her, she really wished to paint this trash’s ugly face with her soles.
Nearby, Zhou Chong watched Chen Shuai smilingly, who came back alone and intentionally spat out his contempt, “Well, well. Seems like your looks and inner handsomeness are not working, eh buddy? How is the feeling of coming back with your tail between your legs? Doesn’t it feel great?”
Out of shame, Chen Shuai and growled, “This fucking bitch is too arrogant. I would have already trashed her if she was not a woman. Bah, forget it. If you got the ability, you try.”
Zhou Chong blew a whistle as he came to Han Qingwu and smilingly said, “Thanks a bunch for that, Beauty.”
