Chapter 549 The High-and-mighty, Two-Faced Academic Genius (Gong) VS The Unrestrained, Charming, and
The gathering was held at K-club, a Western restaurant they frequented. However, after 10 p.m., it became the most decadent bar in the entire city.
As you walk along, the black and gold liquor cabinets of K-club are dazzling, illuminated by shimmering light, exuding a high-end style built entirely of real gold and silver.
This was Jiang Xiyu's first time coming here during the day with them. When they arrived at the private room, drinks and snacks had already been laid out, which did seem to be an attempt to apologize.
Zhou Xi walked over first and gestured for Jiang Xiyu to sit down: "Come, come, Xiyu, sit here."
The other wealthy young men who came in all casually found a place to sit.
Jiang Xiyu glanced at it.
That central position is not a place he can sit in.
However, he did not refuse directly, but walked over and said politely, "Please sit down, Brother Zhou."
Without waiting for him to speak, she sat down in the seat next to him.
Zhou Xi raised an eyebrow, stared at him for a while, and then sat down and said, "What happened last time was my fault, and I apologize to you."
He personally poured a glass of wine and handed it to Jiang Xiyu.
Jiang Xiyu reached out and took it, tilting his head and smiling, giving him plenty of face: "What are you saying, Brother Zhou? That matter is long gone."
It wasn't a big deal to begin with, and even if it were, these young masters would treat it like a joke. Since they've personally offered him a way out, Jiang Xiyu should just accept it.
Zhou Xi poured herself another glass of wine and asked casually, "I heard you broke up with Xu Yunzhi?"
Jiang Xiyu clinked glasses with him and said nonchalantly, "If it's not a good match, then we'll break up."
“He seemed to be crying quite sadly just now.” Zhou Xi paused, then said jokingly, “Could it be because of what happened last time? But I remember you two seemed to be getting along well when I left.”
Jiang Xiyu chuckled and simply said, "He's taking it too seriously."
Zhou Xi sat down next to him, poured him another glass of wine, and chuckled ambiguously, "Only you would dare to play like this, but don't go too far."
Jiang Xiyu swirled the wine glass, the liquid gently swirling between the edges of the glass.
He stared at it for a while, a hint of sharpness hidden in his eyes.
However, those eyes were so affectionate and gentle that they suppressed any sharpness.
Jiang Xiyu took a sip of the wine Zhou Xi poured for him, savored it for a moment, and said with a half-smile, "Isn't it because I still have you, brother, to protect me? What's there to be afraid of?"
This is true.
Jiang Xiyu himself had no power or influence, but relying on Zhou Xi's connections, he managed to secure a good position in this circle. At least, most spoiled rich kids didn't dare to touch him, and those who wanted to were no match for him.
Anyway, Jiang Xiyu had nothing. As the saying goes, those who have nothing to lose are not afraid of those who have something to lose, so what did he have to be afraid of?
Sure enough, Zhou Xi's eyes lit up with satisfaction upon hearing this.
Seeing this, the other young men gathered around and chimed in, "That's right, with Brother Zhou around, what's there to be afraid of?"
"As long as you listen to Brother Zhou, Xi Yu, I guarantee that few people in this industry will dare to touch you."
"Yes, Brother Zhou thinks highly of you..."
"Don't even mention dumping Xu Yunzhi, you could play with several more without any problem."
Zhou Xi was in a pretty good mood until the last sentence, "Play a few more," and his smile suddenly deepened. He then glanced at the person who spoke.
Zhou Xi is a mixed-race handsome man, even somewhat sinister, especially when he smiles at someone, his whole demeanor always exudes a strange sense of gloom.
The spoiled brat, being watched, realized he had said the wrong thing, and immediately gave an embarrassed smile, punishing himself with a cup of wine.
Zhou Xi then looked away.
Jiang Xiyu listened quietly from beginning to end without saying a word.
He could sense the eeriness around him, and he didn't think these spoiled young masters were saying anything nice. They were all talking at once, each of them trying to remind him of something, to make him understand that everything he had now was because Zhou Xi was protecting him.
Yes.
Those who sought him out didn't have backgrounds as powerful as Zhou Xi's.
Xu Yunzhi was qualified because his background was no worse than Zhou Xi's. Since he couldn't be dismissed with power, all that could be done was to give him bad advice.
After Jiang Xiyu finished his drink, he put the glass down, picked up Zhou Xi's glass again, poured himself another glass, handed it to him, and said with a smile, "So this glass is for you, brother."
He had been drinking, and his pale face was flushed with crimson lips.
Zhou Xi glanced at him, then looked at his hand holding the wine glass; the bone structure was beautiful.
He suddenly curled his lips into a smile, reached out and grasped the wine glass that Jiang Xiyu handed him, but did not immediately take it; his fingertips seemed to touch it, yet also seemed not to.
When Jiang Xiyu let go, he steadily held the wine glass and drank it all in one gulp.
His eyes were narrowed, and his gaze seemed to fall on Jiang Xiyu's face almost imperceptibly, as if he were not tasting fine wine at the moment, but something else entirely.
An hour later, Lu Ziqi arrived.
The private room was dimly lit and filled with the smell of alcohol.
Several expensive bottles of wine were open on the sofa and coffee table, some of which were empty and had rolled onto the floor.
At this moment, Jiang Xiyu and Zhou Xi were no longer in the private room. Only a few other young men were playing around. The handsome men and beautiful women were playing together, their bodies trembling with the music. Their young faces were filled with a kind of intoxication that lasted day and night.
Lu Ziqi originally intended to come directly here after leaving school.
As a result, when I was halfway there, I found that there was a tail behind my car.
Of course he knew who it was; Xu Yunzhi definitely wanted to follow him and find Brother Jiang.
So Lu Ziqi went all in, driving around with Xu Yunzhi for a few hours before finally heading to K-club after shaking her off.
He was already quite angry with Bai Chengci, so he ignored the people who were jumping around and plopped down on the sofa, taking two big gulps of wine.
Someone saw him arrive and came over to ask, "Who upset you? Why are you so angry?"
After taking a couple of sips of wine, Lu Ziqi cursed, "A bastard."
As he spoke, he looked around and, finding Jiang Xiyu nowhere to be seen, pulled the person next to him and asked, "Where's Brother Jiang?"
"You mean Jiang Xiyu?" The young man turned his head towards another hidden door in the private room and said with a playful smile, "He and Brother Zhou are over there."
"Perhaps he thought we were too noisy, so Brother Zhou took him inside."
The private room also has individual cubicles, so no matter how much people are jumping around outside, it remains quiet inside.
When Lu Ziqi heard that it was just the two of them, his heart skipped a beat, and he stood up.
Just as he was about to walk towards the door, the young master suddenly blocked his way and said, "Brother Lu, what are you going in for? Come and play with us. Look at all these beautiful women here, don't go in and bother Brother Zhou and the others."
The look in Brother Zhou's eyes when he led his men in clearly showed that he didn't want anyone to disturb them.
The young master exchanged a glance with the others in the private room.
The men and women gathered around and said, "Yes, yes, come play with us."
Lu Ziqi didn't care about any of that. He grabbed an empty bottle from the table and snapped, "Get out of here."
Don't let his goofy demeanor in front of Jiang Xiyu fool you; in reality, how many of the guys he hangs out with are actually good?
Seeing that he was holding a wine bottle and looked ready to smash anyone who tried to stop him, the others didn't dare to stop him.
As Lu Ziqi walked to the hidden door, two figures appeared at the door of the other private room, following him.
