Zhao Yixuan gritted his teeth and swallowed his anger. “I’ll dance well.”
“That’s the best, quickly!” Xia Yingluo chased him away as if chasing flies.
At the side, Brother Qiang nodded and bowed, then smiled apologetically at Li Rui. “Sorry, Second Young Master, our service is unsatisfactory and has alarmed you. Your fees this time will be waived off and we’ll also add two bottles of Hennessy as compensation. Please enjoy it.”
With a wave of his hand, someone sent two bottles of the expensive Hennessy.
Xia Yingluo’s eyes lit up and she was about to open the bottles.
Li Rui immediately stopped her. He took a bottle and returned it to Brother Qiang and smiled with ill intentions. “She’s just a little girl and it’s not good to drink too much. Give her a glass of fruit juice.” Unbeknownst to her, he had noticed that she was already slightly drunk and her cheeks were flushed red.
Xia Yingluo glared at him unhappily. “You’re so annoying!”
He smiled and patted her head.
Brother Qiang looked on in curiosity. He didn’t know who this little girl was, but it seems Second Young Master Li was treating her specially? His treatment was different from that of the little hoes he had brought here to drink with before. However, he didn’t dare ask more and immediately instructed some people to send them fruit juice.
On the dance floor, the female dancer had already stepped off the stage. The MC grabbed a microphone and cleared his throat. “Ladies and gentlemen, you are all very lucky today to be able to see Imperial Entertainment’s most famous manager Zhao Yixuan perform a pole dance striptease for all of you. Please give a big round of applause!”
The crowded whistled and cheered, causing a big stir.
Besides Xia Yingluo, Pei Yan, who was being watched closely by a few waiters, was extremely anxious. She said to Li Rui, “You still made them announce that? Aren’t you bent on becoming enemies with the Pei family like this!”
Li Rui smiled lazily. “Enemies? Imperial and Skyart still need to become enemies?”
Even the nearby crowd couldn’t help but belittle this Ms. Pei’s intelligence. Imperial Entertainment’s Chairman Pei Ziheng was already Skyart Entertainment’s Chairman Li Lei’s love rival and arch-enemy. This was already old gossip in the entertainment industry, so why would they need Zhao Yixuan to help them become enemies? This Pei Yan was thinking too highly of her husband!
Pei Yan realized her mistake after being jeered at by him and her expression got even worse.
She cursed under her breath. Today was really such an unlucky day. She could obviously walk around proudly in S City with her identity, but she just had to bump into the Li family! She didn’t know what kind of method Xia Yingluo this wretch used to be able to seduce Li Rui after seducing Wei Lingnan!
Wait, if Wei Lingnan knew that he had been cheated on…
Pei Yan was deep in thought and couldn’t help but reveal a sinister smile.
On the dance floor, the professional male strippers brought Zhao Yixuan to dance… The male dancer who had been instructed by Brother Qiang already wasn’t polite at all to Zhao Yixuan. It was his forte to tease and ridicule him as best as he could, and he tried hard to make a sorry figure out of him. Zhao Yixuan staggered around trying to avoid and dodge him, but the clothes on his body gradually lessened, and the crowd’s shoutings made him blush a deep red. They all shouted mocking stuff like “Your figure is so big and you still dare to dance!”, “You’ve no muscles on you at all, get off the stage!” and “You’re so ugly, aren’t you embarrassed!”.
Zhao Yixuan was humiliated and angry. His feet were frozen stiff and he couldn’t move.
Li Rui was lying on the sofa comfortable with a glass of wine in his hands. He criticized while drinking. “Tsk tsk, what did you even see in this weakling in the beginning? He doesn’t even have looks nor a figure and looks like a rabbit having a cramp when dancing. Don’t tell people that you know me, what lousy taste you have.”
Xia Yingluo wasn’t reconciled and said softly, “His face is actually not that bad.”
“Better than mine?” Li Rui turned to look at her.
Xia Yingluo humphed and ignored him. In all honesty, her two brothers were extremely handsome, especially since her second brother loved to dress up like a flowery peacock spreading its tail as and when and killing everyone with his looks.
Which straight man would be more handsome than him?
Pervert.
The crowd’s shouting got louder the more pieces of clothing Zhao Yixuan took off, and gradually, the crowd shouted in rhythm—
“Get off! Get off! Get off!”
Li Rui chuckled and said lazily while drinking, “Looks like Zhao Yixuan can’t do this job. If he ever loses his job and wants to become a striptease, I’m afraid no bar would be willing to accept him.” He didn’t forget to glance over at Pei Yan. “Isn’t that right, Ms. Pei?”
Pei Yan turned her head coldly and ignored him.
Xia Yingluo just couldn’t bear seeing that arrogant look on her face, so she sang the same tune as her brother. “You’re right, his dance is so horrible, it’s probably because he’s unwilling to put in the effort to save Ms. Pei. In my opinion, why don’t we let Ms. Pei go up there personally to dance? Otherwise, the customers are all so unsatisfied, it’ll be bad if we affect Brother Qiang’s business negatively.”
Jin Ling’er also clapped her hands and laughed. “Yes, yes, it’s sure to be a bomb if Ms. Pei dances an erotic dance.”
Pei Yan was so scared her face turned pale. “You can’t do that.”
“Why can’t I?” Xia Yingluo teased her. “Ms. Pei, I look forward to your performance.”
Pei Yan glared at her resentfully. “Xia Yingluo, don’t be too vicious. Don’t forget whose family’s trainee you are. If you offend the Pei family, do you think you can still be in the entertainment circle?”
“Oh, I’m so scared.” Xia Yingluo covered her mouth in exaggeration and looked at Li Rui. “Oh no, I’m scared to death. Can I transfer to Skyart Entertainment tomorrow?”
Li Rui also laughed. “Okay, if the people at Skyart know that you’re entering, they’re bound to think you’re lighting up their humble dwelling.”
Pei Yan secretly wanted to bite herself. She realized in despair that she couldn’t even threaten Xia Yingluo. Second Young Master Li already had her back, so why would she be afraid of Imperial? She could easily transfer to another company immediately and become a huge star all the same, what was she afraid of?
Xia Yingluo looked at her with ill intentions. “Ms. Pei, you look so agitated, is it because you want to go up and dance?”
A wise man had to submit to the circumstances.
Pei Yan softened her attitude and understood that she had to pass this round first.
She said to Xia Yingluo softly, “I don’t want to go up and dance. Ms. Xia, Second Young Master Li, please don’t make things difficult for me.”
“Wouldn’t it have been good to do this earlier?” Li Rui smiled enchantingly. “You’re so tactful now, what were you doing before? Apologize properly to Yingluo, say sorry Ms. Xia, you know your wrong and you won’t dare to offend her anymore and won’t dare to be a vixen and seduce someone else’s boyfriend anymore. Just say that you’re lowly, you let yourself go, you’re the world’s most depraved woman and you deserve to be slept with and abandoned and looked down upon.”
“I…” Pei Yan suppressed the hatred insinde her. This Li Rui was too much. She was a big lady, how could she say these kinds of words?
“You refuse?” Li Rui wasn’t in a rush. He said leisurely, “Stubborn.”
