Chapter 097 Do You Want Me to Beat Up This Bastard for You
“Unfortunately, the young lady has already left with another handsome guy.”
Xue Ruyun pointed with a half-smile at the girl who had been flirting with Su Rui earlier. Now she was getting cozy with another handsome guy with dyed yellow hair.
“Sigh, young girls these days are really too indecent,” Su Rui sighed with disappointment.
“Young girls are indecent, but are young men decent?” Xue Ruyun teased as she looked at Su Rui. This young man always brought her many surprises, and the recent incident where he had facilitated cooperation between Qin Ranlong and Bikang Group with just a few words had particularly impressed her.
Su Rui looked directly into Xue Ruyun’s eyes and said with a straight face: “Very decent.”
Then, changing his tone, Su Rui added: “However, if you need me to be indecent, I can be indecent too.”
“You’re never serious,” Xue Ruyun smiled with her lips pressed together. This woman carried a unique aura about her. Even her most normal smile seemed to contain a hint of seduction.
Perhaps such a woman was what legends referred to as naturally born with charm!
The bartender and the mixologist had already been mesmerized by Xue Ruyun’s smile, both of them nearly frozen in place.
Su Rui couldn’t help but shake his head at their lack of self-control. These young men were still too inexperienced! Look at himself – even after being hugged, embraced, and squeezed against the pole by this woman, he could still remain unmoved! The more he thought about it, the more proud he felt!
If there could be another pole dance, that would be ideal, but Su Rui could tell that the possibility wasn’t very high today, so he said: “Let’s find a booth and chat!”
“Okay,” Xue Ruyun nodded and got up to lead Su Rui.
She had a seat in this bar that was exclusively hers, located on the second floor by the railing, where she could observe the entire bar. Generally, if she wasn’t there, the seat would remain empty, and the servers wouldn’t let anyone else sit there because it was always reserved for the boss.
Of course, last time, because there were many empty seats, Xue Ruyun hadn’t taken Su Rui to this booth.
“Being a boss is great, you even have your own exclusive seat,” Su Rui remarked with admiration.
If Su the handsome guy had his own nightclub, he would definitely set his exclusive seat right below the stage and make the stage a one-way mirror. That way, he could see up every girl’s skirt.
However, this perverted thought only existed in his mind and had never been put into action.
“What’s so good about being a boss? It’s worrisome and exhausting, at most it just looks glamorous on the surface,” Xue Ruyun didn’t agree with Su Rui’s view.
“Enchantress, this bar of yours must make quite a bit of money every night, so why do you still work at Bikang Group? The marketing department often requires overtime, isn’t that restricting your freedom?”
“I’m keeping that as a backup plan,” Xue Ruyun’s eyes flickered, reflecting the colorful lights. “If this bar ever faces demolition, reorganization, or gets smashed by gangsters, at least I’ll still have a job.”
“Whoever dares to smash your place, I’ll smash their entire family,” Su Rui said cheerfully, as if making a joke.
But Xue Ruyun knew that this young man wasn’t joking at all. He had both the intention and absolutely the capability to do so.
“Today I should properly enjoy what it feels like to sit in the boss’s exclusive seat.”
However, before Xue Ruyun and Su Rui even reached the second floor, they already saw several young men and women sitting in Xue Ruyun’s exclusive seat, drinking and playing finger-guessing games!
When Xue Ruyun saw those people, her expression immediately became very unnatural, and emotions deeply hidden in her heart uncontrollably surfaced!
Sensing these emotions, Su Rui gave Xue Ruyun a surprised look, then stepped slightly forward to stand shoulder to shoulder with her.
It was just an ordinary small step, just a simple act of standing side by side.
But Xue Ruyun knew what this meant to Su Rui.
“Can someone tell me what’s going on?” Xue Ruyun said. Only Su Rui noticed that her voice carried a slight tremor! And a hint of coldness!
A server nearby immediately rushed over nervously. He knew this was the boss’s exclusive seat, now occupied by others, and the boss would definitely be unhappy! She might even fire him!
Although the principle was clear, those young people were truly difficult to deal with, acting like fierce demons. No matter how he tried to persuade them, whether with words or by physically trying to stop them, he couldn’t prevent them from sitting there. The most arrogant and domineering young master had even slapped him twice across the face! It still stung!
“Boss, I already told these people that this is our boss’s exclusive seat, but they completely ignored me. If I had tried to persuade them further, I would probably have been beaten badly.”
Hearing this, Su Rui’s eyebrows raised slightly, while Xue Ruyun’s brows furrowed.
“I’m sorry, boss, I’ve caused you trouble. I’ll go try to persuade them again,” the server said with some guilt. Indeed, failing to protect Xue Ruyun’s seat was a dereliction of his duty.
“No need, this isn’t your fault. You can go now,” Xue Ruyun said. She looked at the young men and women in her seat, her face as cold as frost.
Meanwhile, the young people sitting there also noticed them. Among them, a guy wearing gold-rimmed glasses saw Xue Ruyun, and a playful expression appeared in his somewhat fierce eyes.
Su Rui lowered his head slightly, his mouth close to Xue Ruyun’s ear, and asked: “Do you know them?”
Xue Ruyun glanced at Su Rui, her expression somewhat complex: “Not only do I know them, but we’re also quite familiar. In a way, we’re even relatives.”
“You’re relatives?” Su Rui was confused, but under the circumstances, he didn’t ask further. Everyone has their own family matters, and any normal person could see that those young people weren’t on good terms with Xue Ruyun.
“Let’s go,” Xue Ruyun turned to leave.
Su Rui now understood clearly that Xue Ruyun didn’t want to face these people at all, though he wasn’t sure if it was because she was unwilling or because she disdained to.
However, even if people try to avoid trouble, some troubles will keep finding them!
Just as Xue Ruyun was about to pull Su Rui away, the guy with gold-rimmed glasses and fierce eyes suddenly laughed obnoxiously three times and said: “Oh my, isn’t this my beautiful and sexy sister? How did I happen to see you here?”
Xue Ruyun looked at him coldly, not saying a word.
But Su Rui, standing beside her, could clearly feel that Xue Ruyun’s body was trembling slightly. Was it from excitement, anger, or some other emotion?
“My sister, why aren’t you speaking? It’s been so long since we’ve seen each other, and you won’t even invite your brother for a drink? Isn’t that a bit petty!” The man adjusted his glasses, looking quite pleased, though his words were cutting, completely mismatched with his expression.
Xue Ruyun gave him a cold look and said: “You actually have the nerve to admit you’re my brother?”
“I have nothing to be ashamed of admitting, though such an admission might cause me a little bit of embarrassment.”
“I admit you’re my sister, but that ‘sister’ needs quotation marks around it – the kind of sister who was never officially recognized by the family,” the man laughed loudly.
“Xue Yang, if you have no other business here, please leave. You’re not welcome,” Xue Ruyun made it clear she didn’t want to say another word to this man. Her face revealed not only disgust but also anger.
“Xue Ruyun, Xue Yang…” Su Rui muttered these two names softly.
“I’m here as a customer. What right do you have to drive me away? Even if you’re the owner here, that doesn’t seem appropriate, does it?”
The man called Xue Yang chuckled: “My dear sister, do you always think of unpleasant things whenever you see me?” Xue Yang adjusted his gold-rimmed glasses again, his eyes full of amusement. He had fair skin, narrow eyes, and thin lips. Looking carefully, his features were indeed about thirty to forty percent similar to Xue Ruyun’s.
“Xue Yang, we haven’t seen each other for years. I believe I’ve never done anything unfriendly toward your Xue family, but this time you’ve clearly come with ill intentions. Let me tell you plainly: you’re not welcome here, and I don’t want to see anyone from the Xue family again,” Xue Ruyun’s face was cold as frost.
Your Xue family – wasn’t it also Xue Ruyun’s family?
Hearing this, Su Rui couldn’t help but give Xue Ruyun another slightly surprised look. It seemed this woman had quite a story behind her. At the very least, her relationship with her family members wasn’t good.
And looking at this Xue Yang fellow, he was clearly no good person, probably deliberately coming to cause trouble.
“My sister, don’t say that. It’s been so many years since we’ve seen each other, and we don’t know how you’ve been doing, so we came specifically to check on you. If you don’t welcome us, that’s fine, but why use such harsh words?” The gold-rimmed glasses man Xue Yang spoke with infinite superiority, as if Xue Ruyun was just an object of amusement to him. “After all, you do have my father’s blood in you. We shouldn’t be so cold to each other when we meet!”
Xue Ruyun looked at this so-called brother, her face filled with an uncontrollable cold smile: “We’re siblings? Shouldn’t be so cold to each other? Have you forgotten how you all treated my mother and me? We were driven out of the Xue family, left homeless. Did any of you offer a helping hand? Did anyone give us even one yuan?”
As Xue Ruyun spoke, a hint of sorrow appeared in her defiant eyes!
Su Rui knew she must be thinking of the humiliation and pain she had suffered before.
At this moment, Su Rui couldn’t help but think of the deep sorrow Xue Ruyun had shown that day, and he guessed why she had performed such an intense pole dance with him – it was for release – to release the pain suppressed in her heart.
“Do you want me to beat up this bastard?” Su Rui asked in a low voice.
