Chapter 241: Pest
The agitating music, the swaying hips on the dance floor, the heavily made-up beauties, and the unique smell of the nightclub seemed to have already made them drunk.
Duan Jia walked confidently to the bar and ordered two whiskeys, smiling and saying, “I like strong liquor. What about you, Mr. Xiao?”
“I’m not picky,” Xiao Shun replied, taking a sip from his glass.
“Then let’s ask for something even stronger later,” Duan Jia laughed heartily.
“Suit yourself,” Xiao Shun said. “Tell me about your experiences?”
“You mean when I was a bodyguard abroad? It’s not that interesting. It was just something I had to do,” Duan Jia’s eyes suddenly filled with a hint of vicissitudes. He began to talk about how their Duan family was wiped out back then.
Suddenly, Xiao Shun felt someone pat his shoulder from behind. He turned around and almost choked on the drink that had just entered his throat.
“Why are you here?” he asked in surprise.
“Mr. Xiao, you’re impressive. I went to Stillwater, and you came to Harrow. You’re not deliberately avoiding me, are you?” The speaker was Tang Shishi. She looked up and down at Xiao Shun with her watery eyes, as if interrogating him.
Xiao Shun was surprised. How did this girl follow him here?
“Do I need to avoid you? Now, you’re the one begging me to treat you. Get the situation straight if you don’t mind,” Xiao Shun glanced at her helplessly.
Tang Shishi ignored him, sat down on the bar stool next to him, and said to the bartender, “A margarita, please.”
Duan Jia looked at Xiao Shun playfully, “Who’s this beauty?”
Xiao Shun muttered, “A pest.”
“Can’t you take a joke? You’re a grown man, and you can’t handle a joke?” Tang Shishi deliberately leaned closer to him and said with a smile.
Xiao Shun subconsciously moved half an inch away.
“You didn’t specifically come from Stillwater to find me, did you? I’ll be back in a couple of days, and we can continue as soon as I get back. Is it necessary to follow me here?”
Tang Shishi said seriously, “Of course it’s necessary. The poison in my body hasn’t been completely removed. I’m always uneasy. If you disappeared, wouldn’t I just be waiting to die?”
“Alright, I’ll find some time tomorrow to give you acupuncture,” Xiao Shun said with a bitter smile.
“That’s more like it.”
At this moment, a young girl with blue hair, smoky makeup, and revealing clothing approached them.
She walked up to Tang Shishi and said, “Beautiful lady, my friend wants to meet you. Can you grace us with your presence and join us for a drink?”
Tang Shishi was already beautiful, and with her noble upbringing, she had a unique aura that attracted many men’s attention as soon as she entered. However, most people knew better than to approach her casually.
Tang Shishi smiled elegantly, “I’m sorry, but my boyfriend is here.”
The blue-haired girl glanced at Xiao Shun, who was dressed ordinarily and not very handsome. Her gaze flickered with disdain as she looked back at Tang Shishi, feeling as if they had wasted something good.
She couldn’t help but lament, “What future can such a beautiful girl have with this loser? My friend is Jiang Cheng. You must have heard of the famous Jiang family, right? And it doesn’t hurt to make another friend.”
“Jiang Cheng? Never heard of him,” Tang Shishi maintained her elegant smile.
The blue-haired girl’s face turned cold, “You don’t know what’s good for you.” She turned and left.
“Mr. Xiao, that girl just called you a loser. Aren’t you angry?” Tang Shishi asked with a sly smile.
“She also thought you had no taste. I didn’t see you getting mad,” Xiao Shun raised his eyebrows.
“Boring,” Tang Shishi rolled her eyes.
A moment later, the blue-haired girl returned, accompanied by a young man in a gray plaid suit.
The young man appeared to be in his early twenties, tall and slender, with a handsome face. However, his swaggering gait had an air of arrogance. “Hey, beautiful, I’m Jiang Cheng. Can we get to know each other?” The young man grinned as he walked up to Tang Shishi, raised his drink, and shot Xiao Shun a provocative glance.
“I’m here with my boyfriend. You’ve got the wrong person, handsome. Go find someone else to play with.” Tang Shishi didn’t even bother to look at him.
At that moment, Xiao Shun took out a few bills and placed them on the bar counter. Turning to Duan Jia, he said, “Let’s go.” As he stood up and walked towards the exit, he passed Tang Shishi and said, “I don’t know this woman.”
Tang Shishi’s pretty face flushed with surprise, “You…”Text content © NôvelDrama.Org.
Xiao Shun knew she was good at these things and wouldn’t suffer any loss. If she didn’t want to go, she could have just refused. She had deliberately provoked him earlier, looking for trouble. “See? Your boyfriend is a wimp. What’s the point of being with such a weak man?” Jiang Cheng sneered at Xiao Shun before turning to Tang Shishi.
“I’ve never seen such a pathetic man. Is the big guy beside him just for show?” The blue-haired girl chimed in mockingly.
‘Who the hell do you think you are?’
‘You think I’m easy prey just because I don’t show my strength?’
Xiao Shun stopped in his tracks and sighed. He turned back to Tang Shishi and said, “I’m sorry I hit you yesterday, and I was just playing with you earlier. Let’s go, don’t make a scene here.”
Tang Shishi hesitated for a moment, then smiled and stood up, affectionately linking her arm through his. “Don’t hit me so hard next time, and I’ll forgive you this time.”
Jiang Cheng and the blue-haired girl were both stunned.
How could such a stunning beauty really be with such a loser, and he seemed like the most ordinary guy. Life was unfair.
Jiang Cheng, in particular, felt his pride crushed when Tang Shishi ignored him. Jealousy and rage filled his heart, and he stepped in front of the couple, blocking their way. “What, are you planning to use force with so many people around?” Xiao Shun asked carelessly.
Ignoring Xiao Shun, Jiang Cheng looked at Tang Shishi and said, “Break up with this guy right now, and I’ll give you a sports car worth 5 million. Spend three days with me, and I’ll give you another 10 million in cash.”
The blue-haired girl’s eyes widened in shock. Jiang Cheng was going all out for this woman.
“Enough, kid. I don’t have time to play with you. Keep your pocket money for yourself.” Tang Shishi said with a slight smile.
“You’re playing me.” Jiang Cheng snapped.
“Did you think you were funny? Who would want to play with you?” Duan Jia had seen enough. He stepped forward like a wall, “Get out of the way.”
