Chapter 16 - Nomenclature
"What do you mean?"
Dong-ge saw him like this, but was not angry, only his words generated a strong curiosity towards what A Zhou was saying, as well as a sense of unease.
"Literally, you heard about the matter of Ah Yun's appearance yesterday, right? Do you know who she's with? "
A Zhou raised his eyes to look at Dong-ge, his posture remaining as calm as ever.
Dong-ge's expression turned stiff. The way he looked at me suddenly became a little weird and contemptuous. It was unknown what he was thinking about.
However, he quickly collected himself and asked Zhou, "Who is it?"
"That's Chief Li, the famous Li Tianyi. Just think about your strength, and you'll let go of Ah Yun.
A Zhou said those words in a neither humble nor arrogant manner. My heart was filled with gratitude, but Dong-ge's expression changed drastically because of those words. After all, a duck that was about to be cooked flew right in front of my eyes.
However, despite my displeasure, Dong-ge still has his reason. Thus, A-Zhou only said a few simple and dignified words after that and easily rescued me from my predicament.
However, those two women weren't as lucky as me. They were directly taken away by Dong-ge's group to another place …
As for what they did, I don't want to think about it. Since the heavens and the earth have their own lives, I don't owe them anything. Furthermore, if it wasn't for them locking me in the washroom and beating me up, how could they have met Dong-ge's group?
The matter regarding Gu Dong had not ended yet, but the matter about Dong-ge had given me a bit of a reputation in the clubhouse. Everywhere I went, I could hear people discussing about me.
A group of sisters looked at me with a look of jealousy and disgust, as if I were the plague that everyone was forced to avoid. However, they still felt that it wasn't 'good' enough for me, so they would occasionally secretly give me small shoes to wear …
For example, it wasn't that the clothes I was going to change had been tampered with before the release, or my shoes were filled with some extremely sharp items that made me flustered and unable to lift my head in front of the customers.
I couldn't bear this even if I paid a little attention to it, but the only thing I couldn't bear was that when I came out, a group of sisters would gather around me and whisper all the sarcastic words in my ear.
"Look at her slutty appearance. It's obvious that she is made from a lowly embryo."
"That's right. He's only been here for a few days, but he actually managed to hook up with such a large amount of money. I wonder if his bed skills are too good, or if his bones are born cheap."
"Looking at her slut's appearance, I know that she must be very skilled in bed. And have you heard that this woman has a rather vicious heart? That day, A'Mo and A'Mo just went to the bathroom to say a few words to her. This A Yun actually turned around and sent them to Dong-ge's group. "
I don't even know how it got to this point.
Actually, I was already used to hearing such insulting words and my heart wasn't in turmoil. I just thought that there was a bunch of mad dogs by my side who were barking non-stop, causing my eardrums to hurt.
Habits were one thing, however, and displeasure was another. As time went on, I grew tired of it. It's a pity that I'm still too weak right now. I have no way to stop their malicious expressions.
Fortunately, they were at most doing something small in the dark to me, but they didn't do anything more excessive. After all, they have to live their lives out here, so it wouldn't do anyone any good if they were to cause too much of a ruckus.
After coming to this place for a short period of time, I have learned most of the rules that I should learn. At the very least, if I were to come up with some rules, I can solicit some small guests who can barely keep me warm.
But I know that this is far from enough. If I want to gain a foothold in this huge city, and if I want to find my own father, I must make myself stronger. There was only one prerequisite for becoming strong, and that was money.
As long as you had money, there was nothing you couldn't do in this drunken world. This is one of the reasons I came here.
Originally, I thought that my days in Hua Du would go on like this without any problems, but just as I was about to come out that night and wait for Big Sister Hong to dress up for me, someone rushed in. Without even taking a breath of air, he looked at me and said, "Ancestor, why are you still staying here? Gu Dong wants to see you by name. He's currently waiting in the private room."
The person who called me was none other than elder sister Hong.
Remembering what happened last time, I didn't quite give up and went to ask Sister Hong, "Didn't Gu Dong say he didn't want me last time?"
"You still have the nerve to say that?"
It's fine if elder sister Hong doesn't listen to what I say, but it seems like she's a bit annoyed.
I looked at her in bewilderment. I saw her charming lips open and close as she said, "I don't know who was the one who was bragging in Chairman Gu's ear that you were fine that day and that you had a fight with someone all reached Gu Dong. Right now, he is fuming in the room and wants you to go over by name."
After hearing those words, especially after seeing the resentful look in elder sister Hong's eyes, I understood the seriousness of the situation.
However, elder sister Hong felt that I had not comprehended enough. She looked at me and said, "I'm not talking about you. What kind of person is Gu Dong? You actually dare to tease him?"
I know that Sister Hong is worried about me, but what else can I do? Besides, I can't go anywhere now. There's only one choice in front of me, and that is to go to the private room for a good meeting.
"Alright, I'm going to hurry up and put on makeup for you. You can go, don't let the customers wait too long. If you make people smile in this line of work, then all selling women will be gone."
Perhaps it was because elder sister Hong realized that her words were a bit too heavy, so she hurriedly suppressed the expression on her face and urged me.
I didn't have any other choice. I let elder sister Hong put on makeup for me, put on the clothes that elder sister Hong specially picked out for me, and walked towards the box where Dong's room was with heavy steps.
The moment I arrived at the entrance of the private box, I heard the sounds of laughter coming from inside. I took a deep breath and squeezed out a smile, pretending to be all smiles as I greeted Dong Gu: "Gu Dong, how have you been?"
Currently, Gu Dong was hugging left and right on the sofa in the room, while the other sisters were doing their best to please him. He was lying on his back with his eyes closed, appearing to be enjoying himself immensely.
It was not like what Hong Sis said, which was filled with anger.
