Chapter 106 - Im A Crazy Person (1/2)
Back on Xiu's side...
Host clubs weren't really new to her. In the entertainment industry, these places were often used as meeting spots. So, no matter how disgusted she was inside, she couldn't bring herself to say it. As Chen Xiu, she wasn't treated like those D-class celebrities but the direct innuendos were enough for humiliation.
No one had ever tried to get cozy with her because of her high status in the industry but they never left any chance to say something hurtful as well. It was always a reminder that no matter how famous she ould get, she'd always be nothing before those in power.
She completely agreed with Dylan's words that there were no humans in this kind of place. There were only hungry and filthy wolves. Perhaps, that's why Dylan didn't fit in this kind of environment at all. His dignified and decent self looked really out of place. His aura of the aristocracy was a stark contrast with the shabby activities of this extravagant looking place.
Inside the private room, Xiu saw four men including the one whom they met at the entrance. Each of them had a young woman sticking beside them. Some pouring drinks or some feeding them fruits with their own hands. This ingratiating scene was repulsive and hateful to Xiu. It was her first time entering a host club in this life but it seemed like nothing had changed at all in years.
To avoid displaying her expressions, Xiu kept her attention on Dylan, whose face scrunched up in disgust while he clenched his fists tightly. Xiu really didn't expect that Dylan was this repulsed by this place. It was safe to say that he didn't like frequenting such places.
Dylan greeted everyone out of politeness and sat on a couch with Xiu right by his side. The conversation at first started out casually as it moved towards the real agenda. But after a while, the atmosphere changed.
”I didn't expect Mr. Qiu to bring his own female partner, I had arranged for a good companion for you,” the one who spoke was Director Lu himself.
”Thanks for your kindness, but Director Lu, I don't think your help was necessary. It's not like someone like me lacks women... in life or in my...” Dylan left his words hanging making Xiu almost gape at him in disbelief. Was he an idiot? He really was trying to stir up trouble in another man's territory with his direct blows.
But of course, Xiu was amused. Seeing how Director Lu looked awkward and incensed, another man beside him named Shao Tao tried to placate the situation as he said, ”Haha... Mr. Qiu is really funny. How about you ask your partner to pour a drink for you?”
Xiu was about to pick up the wine jar when Dylan held her back and said, ”I can pour my own drinks. You see I grew up abroad, so I'm used to doing my own work. Unlike some people, I have learned how to feed myself as well.”
