Chapter 82 - Want to Join Me
The night in A City.
The night was hazy, and the dark night was like a huge net that enveloped the people's world.
In the bar, a woman in a tight black suit was sitting alone on the bar counter. She rested her forehead on her hands and said in a dreamy tone, "Give me a Bloody Mary."
"Yes, Miss Xue."
The bartender glanced at the woman out of the corner of his eye, and when he saw her face, a light flashed in his eyes. The bartender glanced at the woman, and when he saw her face, a light flashed in his eyes.
Xue Yuwei's slender and distinct fingers caressed the wine cup. Just as she was about to place the blood-colored wine cup into her mouth, a hand suddenly rested on her arm. Soon after, a man sat down on the side.
The man's face was full of flattery, "Such a beautiful lady, don't you feel so stifled drinking alone?"
While saying this, her hand would gently stroke from time to time, secretly admiring how a woman's skin was as smooth and exquisite as milk. The man's hand was a little rough, and Xue Yuwei immediately creased her eyebrows and said in a sinister tone, "Scram."
The man raised his eyebrows and deliberately ignored Xue Yuwei's words. He continued to strike up a conversation, but Xue Yuwei's brows were filled with impatience. In the next moment, the corner of Xue Yuwei's mouth rose, and she suddenly threw her wine cup straight at the man's face.
"Hua la — —" The sound of water could be heard. Except for the nearby bar, no one else noticed the abnormality in the water.
On the dance floor of the bar, the deafening music, the flashing lights, the red men and the green women on the dance floor wriggling and swaying to their heart's content, enjoying the ultimate pleasure of indulgence.
In contrast, in this corner, liquid constantly flowed down from the man's face. The blood-red liquid flowed down his neck and into his collar, and a large amount of it spread out like a bloodstain.
The weather was cold in December. The warm cocktail landed on his face, instantly lowering the temperature of the surrounding air. The man stretched out his hand to wipe his face.
Xue Yuwei did not place the other party in her eyes at all. She cast a sidelong glance at him and said haughtily, "I'll say it again. Scram. Otherwise, the outcome won't be so simple."
"F * ck!" That man was clearly about to charge over. Just as his fist was about to land on Xue Yuwei's body, the bartender immediately rushed over to pull her away.
The two bartenders held onto the man's body tightly. When they saw that he was unwilling to let go, they hurriedly said something. The next moment, the man's body trembled, but he didn't struggle.
Staring fixedly at Xue Yuwei, the man opened her mouth wanting to say something, but was unwilling to. She could only turn around and walk towards the main entrance.
Xue Yuwei cast a sidelong glance at the back of the fleeing figure and sneered. Her eyes were filled with disdain.
The Xue Clan's influence could not be underestimated in A City. No man had ever dared to take the initiative to provoke her, and today, she was truly blind. Xue Yuwei shook her head, unable to hide her disgust.
After a while, Xue Yuwei's mood improved a lot. After drinking a cocktail, she felt a wave of heat surge out from her stomach. She shook her body, and the phone beside her lit up with a "Tick Tock".
Ye Zichen took a glance and saw that the sender's name was Huo Ting.
After pausing for a moment, Xue Yuwei still reached for her phone, opened the screen, and entered the password. Then, her gaze landed on the short message.
— — Xue Yuwei, Uncle Yu has returned to A City.
Xue Yuwei was stunned for a moment. Her beautiful eyes suddenly widened as she stared fixedly at the message. She read it again and again. After a while, she opened her contact book and called the butler.
The phone rang for a few seconds before it was connected. Xue Yuwei was flustered and exasperated: "Is he dead? Why hasn't he answered the phone for so long!?"
On the other end: "…"
Xue Yuwei's temper flared up and she went straight to the point. "Has Uncle Yu ever come to the house? Have you received a call today?"
The butler replied carefully, "No, Miss. Your parents called and asked you about your recent situation. I did as Miss instructed."
Xue Yuwei rubbed her temples with her fingers and said that she understood. Then, she instructed the butler to prepare a milk petal bath for her in the bathroom, saying that she would be home very soon. The butler replied that he understood and hung up the phone.
Xue Yuwei sat in her seat, her long and beautiful legs touching the ground lightly. Her mind raced with thoughts: Yu Cen Ran's father had returned, why didn't she tell her beforehand?
Earlier, when Yu ChengHui left the country, he was very enthusiastic about his Hai Hua Si and even told Xue Yu Wei to send him off. However, this time, Xue Yu Wei frowned and began to let her imagination run wild.
Could this sudden change in attitude be due to Yu Chenghui being disappointed in him? Because the South Bridge was now in a certain position, while he himself could only sit here and drink his wine to dispel his worries.
Xue Yuwei thought for a moment and started to reflect on her recent decadence. Then, she raised her wine cup and downed it in one gulp. She opened her eyes once again and an arc flashed across her eyes.
Xue Yuwei took out her bank card to settle the bill, then carried her bag out of the bar without looking back.
In the Yu residence, Yu ChengHui had just returned to the villa. The old housekeeper busied himself with everything, but Yu Chenghui suddenly arrived at the airport in the middle of the night. When he called, it was already 12 o'clock, and it was already close to 2 when he came back from the airport.
The old butler bent down to pick up the clothes Yu Chenghui threw down. Yu ChengHui and Yu Cen Ran both had one characteristic, which was that they would undress as they entered the room. The father and son duo were really similar in this aspect.
At this moment, the doorbell suddenly rang. The old housekeeper took a look and called out for Aunt Lan to go take a look. Aunt Lan walked over and saw a beautiful face on the electronic screen. She asked in confusion, "Miss Xue Yuwei?"
Opening the door, Xue Yuwei appeared at the door. Aunt Lan and the old housekeeper hurriedly welcomed her into the house. It was cold outside and it was late at night, so Xue Yuwei's entire body was cold.
The two exchanged a look. Aunt Lan quickly took a coat and put it on for Xue Yuwei. The old housekeeper stood at the side respectfully and asked, "It's so late. Miss Xue, is there something you need?"
Xue Yuwei smirked. "Is Uncle Yu back? I want to see him."
"I'm afraid that it won't be very convenient for our old master not long after he returns." Aunt Lan was confused.
Xue Yuwei was unrelenting. "Then I'll have to trouble you to inform uncle. I have something very important to tell him. Let's see if he can meet with me once."
"Alright."
Aunt Lan went up for a while and then walked down, saying that the master had agreed, which put Xue Yuwei at ease. If Yu ChengHui was willing to see her, then it meant that she was overthinking things.
Xue Yuwei relaxed a little. She thanked Aunt Lan and the old housekeeper and walked upstairs.
In the study.
Xue Yuwei lightly knocked twice on the door and heard Yu ChengHui's voice from inside. She then pushed the door open and walked in. Xue Yuwei saw that Yu Chenghui was focused on reading the documents, and she would occasionally push her reading glasses down to the bridge of her nose.
"Uncle?"
Yu ChengHui didn't even raise his head. "Yes, Yuwei. It's already so late, why did you still come to uncle when you weren't thinking about how to grab Cen Ran's heart?"
Tears of grievance welled up in her eyes. "Uncle, you don't know this, but Cen Ran is completely enchanted with that fox spirit of the South Bridge, how would he still be willing to see me? He won't even let me through the door of the villa."
Seeing Yu ChengHui remain silent, Xue Yuwei felt even more wronged. She began to blame the people on the South Bridge, "Uncle, you don't know, during this period of time, South Bridge has always been by Brother Cen Ran's side. When would I have the chance to get in? [You should know that Brother Cen has a crush on that bitch!]
Xue Yuwei gritted her teeth and hatefully said, "Cen Ran ge still disobeys your wishes and wants to marry that slut. Recently, she even let that slut, Nanqiao, into the Yu Group."
Yu Chenghui was sitting in front of a desk in the middle. His hands paused for a moment, then his hands suddenly slammed down on the table and he cursed, "Bastard!"
The voice was very loud, causing Xue Yuwei to be frightened by this sudden action. Her body suddenly trembled, and Yu ChengHui had already withdrawn his expression. He patted the armrest on his seat and signaled Xue Yuwei to come over.
In front of Yu ChengHui was a stack of documents, all of which were negotiated overseas. The sponsor was a business partner that had been friends with Yu ChengHui for many years, but because of a golf match, the two of them ended up being good friends for so many years.
This time outside the country, Yu Chenghui also wanted to expand the scope of the Yu Group's business in A city. He couldn't just be an investment bank. Since the company had reached a bottleneck, it was time to consider a transformation.
Yu Chenghui took off his glasses, his eyes were deep and his emotions could not be seen. He had a confused expression on his face, "Do you know why I personally made this trip?"
Xue Yuwei shook her head. She knew that ever since Yu Chenghui handed the Yu Group over to Yu Cen Ran, she rarely interfered with the group's matters. However, this time, she didn't only interfere with the group, she even hid it from Yu Cen Ran.
Xue Yuwei could not understand this point.
Yu Chenghui stood up and walked over to the window. It had started to rain some time ago, and every drop landed on the glass, blurring his line of sight.
Yu ChengHui reached into his pocket and took out a box of cigars. He held one between his fingers and lit it up with his lighter. Suddenly, the room was filled with the smell of cigar smoke, which faintly lingered in the air.
After a long while, Yu ChengHui finally spoke, "Cen Ran, this child, has grown up. I can't care about him anymore, but the Yu Group is a mountain that I fought all the way to. If he dares to disobey me, then he will have to pay the price!"
Xue Yuwei's hand, which had been hanging by her side, clenched into a fist. She hesitated and asked, "Uncle, what do you mean?"
Yu Chenghui turned around with an unreadable smile on his face. "Yuwei, our Yu Family only recognizes you as our daughter-in-law, but you have to work with Uncle …"
