Chapter 29 - The Night When It All Began

Five months ago, in Park Hyatt Hotel, Guangzhou, China…

As usual, during the night, the Roof Bar was filled with guests, both young and old. Lu Mengjie was sitting at the table that was by the terrace, staring at the beautiful view of the vibrant lights coming from the bustling city. Although at that moment, she couldn't enjoy the view at all, instead, her sight was being blurred by the tears that formed in her eyes.

"Fucking bastard…" she mumbled under her breath before she wiped her tears away. She turned away and picked up the bottle of beer, chugging down the drink as much as she could before placing it back on the table with a loud thump.

Everyone around her seemed to be enjoying their time at the place. Some were even dancing on the dance floor. Everyone but her.

"From today onwards, I won't love you! Damn you, Si Hongqi!" She shouted, ignoring the looks she received after.

She took her bag and stood up, staggering a bit but she managed to keep her balance at the end. Just before she was about to leave her table, a man approached her with a flirtish look in his eyes. "Hey, beautiful. You're not going to leave yet, are you? The night is still young. Want to join me and my friends at our table?" Using his thumb, he pointed at his back to where his friends were.

Lu Mengjie's face became blank as she cast her eyes at the table he pointed at with his thumb. There were four men there, two were flirting with the girls who were sitting beside them.

"Well?" He brazenly held her arm without her permission.

She was totally not in a good mood at that time. She was rejected by the love of her life. Again. And now, she had to deal with this bastard who was trying to hit on her. She felt disgusted when she saw how he was undressing her with his eyes.

She slapped his hand away from her arm as she replied nonchalantly, "sorry, I don't want to."

"If you're shy about meeting my friends, that's fine. How about I buy you a drink instead?"

"No thanks, I had enough."

"Then how about I show you around the place?" He tried to reach out to her again.

She slapped his hand again. "Do I look like I'm talking in an alien language right now or are you just addle-brained?"

"Come on now, I promise you'll have fun with us. Lots of fun that you'll forget all your problems!"

The persistence of the man began to get on her nerves. She scanned the area with her eyes. The people around them were ignoring them, minding their own business. Worthless imbeciles. Were they blind or what?

She returned her gaze to the man, this time, she showed her left hand at him and smirked darkly as she said, "see this?" She folded her fingers one by one until her middle finger was left, standing alone. "You sir, is the reason why God created this middle finger. When a girl says no, it means no so fuck off asshole or do you prefer me shoving your stinky ass to where it belongs. Garbage bin over there?"

It was not because of the finger but it was because of what she said that made the man baffled.

"Y-you… don't test my patience. Don't you know who I am? I'm the-"

"I'm so jealous of the people who haven't met you," she interrupted. She crossed her arms and raised a brow at him as she asked, "if I throw a stick, will you leave?"

The man's face turned red in anger, he scoffed, "you think you're so great just because you're beautiful?"

"That's not a new thing. I already know that I'm beautiful and great," she retorted with an insulting smile which only made the man lose his temper even further.

"Miss, I think you should stop offending my friend here." Another man approached them, he rested his arm on his friend's shoulder.

They were already gaining attention from those who were near them. The music around them couldn't hide the commotion that was happening.

"Don't you know who we are?"

She looked at him blankly and rudely said, "do I look like I care?"

"You're just a bitch! I bet a slut like you sleep your way at work," he cried.

Instead of being infatuated by what he said, Lu Mengjie stared calmly at him. "Isn't it rather dangerous to use one's entire vocabulary in an entire sentence? You're an embarrassment. Your father should have wiped you on the sheets."

No matter how much the man wanted to embarrass the girl, everything was being thrown back at him instead. Her sharp words only humiliated him further.

Even those who witnessed the scene were speechless upon hearing what she just said as they watched her take her leave. The man who approached her earlier didn't say a word anymore since it would only embarrass himself further in front of others. Some were already taking a video, if he tried to hit her, it would only ruin his reputation since the girl had the upper hand.

Meanwhile, as Lu Mengjie was about to enter the elevator when the door slid open, she ended up stopping when she saw another man, standing tall before her. Although this time, her mouth went agape. The man in front of her was the kind of man who would make a woman yearn to rip his shirt open.
