Inside the dining area.
The quaint corridors were decorated with hanging big red lanterns, while guests were coming and going out, showing the venue’s thriving business. The faint scent of wine and the fragrance of the dishes fluttered in the air, stirring the starving bellies of many guests.
Tang Xiu and Han Qingwu were not familiar with the place, so Ji Mu took the lead to guide them and explained the specific situation of the Red Pavilion to the duo the reason why this place had a good business. The Red Pavilion was not a top upscale venue and neither was it regarded as mediocre, but middle-class guests liked to come and spend their money there. Even the wealthy also came here because of the variety of leisure and recreation facilities in this place.
“Private room 0066.”
After Ji Mu who brought the other two arrived, he opened the door and said, “Brother Tang, Miss Han, please go inside and wait for a while. I’m going to see the arrangements and be right back.”
“Got it!” Tang Xiu nodded.
The box was quaint, more than 20 square meters wide. Aside from the tables and chairs, two single sofas and tea tables were placed in the corner. Tang Xiu and Han Qingwu had just sat for two minutes when the box’s door was pushed from the outside.
“I heard the Feng Shui of #0066 box is great, so we’ll be having dinner here tonight.” Said Zhou Chong as he pushed the door open and then entered with a smiling face. When he saw Han Qingwu and Tang Xiu sitting on the sofas in the corner, he pretended to look surprised and said “Holy… what a strange… How come this box is occupied? Furthermore… we can’t avoid our adversary, huh? To think that I’d bump into the woman who refused to give us face here.”
Chen Shuai carefully observed Tang Xiu for three seconds before he determined that he did not recognize the guy. He immediately felt relieved and said with a smile, “I still thought I was trifled with by some icily arrogant woman and was kind of wondering what kind of great dude could have her company! Never thought it was just some teenager, eh? Don’t tell me being an old cattle grazing on young grasses is kind of a popular fashion nowadays. But to find yourself such a pretty boy toy to pet on?”
Zhou Chong touched his chin and fanned the flames while smiling, “Well, we really can’t judge a book by its cover nowadays, eh? One may look like a pure and chaste icy maiden, but who knows if she has some kind of special fetish? Tell me, how come the two of you are here? Did you book this box? Get the hell out fast if you didn’t, but if you have, I’ll call the reception desk to prepare another box for you.”
Tang Xiu slightly knitted his brows and turned to Han Qingwu, “Do you know them?”
“Little punks who wanted to talk to me,” said Han Qingwu.
“Since they provoked you, just throw these foolish things out,” said Tang Xiu, waving his hand.
Han Qingwu coldly smiled and thought that Tang Xiu’s “foolish things” remark was spot on. After standing up, she directly asked, “Do you want to scram yourself, or do you need me to throw you out?”
Zhou Chong sneered at Han Qingwu and immediately said to Tang Xiu, “Speak some manners, brat! Nobody dares to provoke me, Zhou Chong, in this Changxi City.”
“Noisy bugs!” Tang Xiu was too lazy to look at them again.
Han Qingwu strode forward and her hands instantly grabbed Zhou Chong and Chen Shuai’s collars lightning fast. She dashed forward and threw them out of the door like garbage.
Bam (Bam!)…
She then slammed the door from the inside, walked back to the sofa and said with a smile, “Well, the world has been cleaned up, so it’s peaceful and quiet now.”
Outside the door.
Zhou Chong and Chen Shuai who were thrown into a dizzy state and took a while to get up from the floor. The former looked like a drowned mouse while expression of humiliation hung on his face as he kicked the door of the box open. Right as he was about to storm inside, a man’s figure appeared a few meters from him and his pace suddenly sped up. Ji Mu directly grabbed Zhou Chong’s shoulder and forcefully threw him back, causing the guy to be flung away for a few meters and slam on the floor heavily.
“FUCK!!!”
Now Zhou Chong was really enraged, and the pain of his body made him furious. The speed he got up this time was very fast. After shouting a curse, he was ready to rumble.
As for Chen Shuai, his heart instantly sunk the moment he saw Ji Mu. After hearing Zhou Chong’s curse and seeing his stance to fight back, he immediately dashed toward him, blocking his path and immediately covering his mouth, then turned around to shout, “Brother Ji, I did not expect you to be here. Zhou Chong drank too much today, so he kinda went crazy!”
Ji Mu’s face looked ashen. He glared at Zhou Chong, who gradually ceased struggling, and sneered, “You got drunk and wanted to have a brawl, so you wanted to fight me?”
Zhou Chong was struck dumb at the moment. Never did he expect that the man who just threw him back was actually Ji Mu, and felt deep regret for cursing just now. He then apologized submissively, “I didn’t know it was you, Brother Ji. It’s just that that man and woman inside that box were loathsome and threw us out. You’re a great guy and rarely harbors grievance for a nobodies’ past wrongs, so please forgive me!”
“You said a man and a woman threw you out?”
Ji Mu’s heart jolted. He grabbed Zhou Chong and Chen Shuai’s shoulders and dragged the duo into the box. When he saw Tang Xiu and Han Qingwu sitting on the sofa, he closed the door with his foot and then released them after gifting them some heavy slaps.
“B-Brother Ji, you…”
