After Ling Hui finished her work in the capital, she booked a flight back home.

  She had been busy recently and had not had a good rest. Gu Meng and Cen Xi invited her to the bar.

  Ling Hui was wearing a black miniskirt with a cinched waistline. Her brown curly hair was draped over her shoulders and her makeup was exquisite. She was wearing high heels and looked mature, charming, and feminine.

  Cen Xi was cold and charming while Gu Meng was pretty.

  The three women with different styles attracted a lot of attention the moment they entered.

  Cen Xi did not know what had happened between Ling Hui and Tang Xi, but she learned from Qiao Yanze that the two of them had a grudge from the previous generation and could not be together anymore.

  Cen Xi and Gu Meng knew not to mention Tang Xi and the three of them sat in front of the bar to drink.

  Because Cen Xi and Gu Meng were wearing wedding rings, the people who came to hit on them only hit on Ling Hui when they saw that they were together.

  Ling Hui rejected them one by one.

  This bar had a membership system and everyone who came was of a certain status. After being rejected by Ling Hui, no one came to cause trouble for her.

  The bartender was teaching the customers how to mix drinks and when he saw the beautiful Ling Hui, he invited her to mix drinks with him.

  Ling Hui stood up gracefully amidst the cheers.

  Ling Hui stood beside the bartender. Her eyes were eye-catching and her figure was graceful. Standing there, she was like a beautiful portrait.

  Many people surrounded them.

  …


  On the second floor of the bar.

  Qiao Yanze and Tang Xi were in a private room.

  Their mutual friend, Young Master Qin, had returned from abroad. After dinner, Qiao Yanze found out that Cen Xi was coming to this bar tonight and brought them over.

  Cen Xi did not know that Qiao Yanze was here.

  Hearing the commotion downstairs, Qiao Yanze and Young Master Qin looked towards the lobby of the bar.

  Qiao Yanze saw Cen Xi immediately and his eyes were only on Cen Xi.

  Young Master Qin had seen Cen Xi’s photo before and praised, “Sister-in-law is even prettier in real life than in photos.”


  Qiao Yanze smirked. “Of course, look who’s her man.”


  Young Master Qin looked down and his gaze could not help but be attracted by the figure wearing a black dress beside the bartender.

  There were lights all around the bar and colorful lights shone down. A beam of light happened to hit the woman and she was mixing drinks with the bartender. Her movements were not unfamiliar, but were agile and familiar. She did difficult actions smoothly, making the girls around her scream.

  “Did Sister-in-law come with that beauty who mixed the alcohol?” Young Master Qin had seen all kinds of beauties overseas, but it was rare for him to be so stunned at first glance.

  Qiao Yanze followed Young Master Qin’s gaze and saw Ling Hui. He then glanced at Tang Xi, who was drinking alone in the room. “They’re together.”


  After Qiao Yanze said a few words to Young Master Qin, he entered the room and sat beside Tang Xi. “Ling Hui is here.”


  Tang Xi leaned back against the sofa and drank the liquid in the glass. “It’s none of my business.”


  “I think Qin Zi is interested in her.”


  “What does it have to do with me?” With that said, he poured herself another glass of wine.

  Qiao Yanze snatched the wine glass from his hand. “You were hospitalized after drinking too much the last time and the doctor told you not to drink too much. Do you want to die?”


  Tang Xi stood up from the sofa, took his jacket, and put it on his arm. “Tell Qin Zi that I’m going back first.”


  Without waiting for Qiao Yanze to say anything, Tang Xi left the room.

  When they arrived at the first floor, Tang Xi saw Young Master Qin, who had come down to the bar. His hand in his pocket clenched into a fist unconsciously.

  When Young Master Qin saw Ling Hui mixing wine, he decided to hit on her.

  Young Master Qin was very handsome. In the eyes of outsiders, his style was similar to Tang Xi’s, but he was really good at playing.

  Young Master Qin leaned against the bar counter, the top three buttons of his shirt unbuttoned. He looked at Ling Hui, who had finished mixing the wine, with raised eyebrows. “Beauty, you’re really the most interesting woman I’ve ever seen.”


  Ling Hui smiled. “Handsome, I don’t believe men who say such things.”


  Tang Xi, who was standing not too far away, could not help but scoff. From the corner of his eye, Young Master Qin happened to see Tang Xi laughing at him. After telling Ling Hui to wait for a while, he walked in front of Tang Xi and patted his shoulder. “What are you laughing at? Didn’t you see me hitting on a beauty?” With that said, he lowered his voice and asked Tang Xi, “What do you think of her?”


  Tang Xi pulled Young Master Qin’s hand off his shoulder. There was an unreadable expression on his handsome face. “You can’t handle her.”


  Young Master Qin raised his eyebrows, clearly not believing Tang Xi’s words. “Brother, wait for me. I’ll get her contact immediately.”


  When Young Master Qin and Tang Xi were talking, Ling Hui noticed them.

  The bar was very noisy and she could not hear what they were saying. When Young Master Qin walked towards her, Tang Xi glanced at her.

  Ling Hui met his eyes for a few seconds and looked away.

  Young Master Qin stood in front of Ling Hui again and took out a name card from his pocket. “Beauty, let’s exchange contact details?”


  Ling Hui glanced at Tang Xi, who was still staring at them from the corner of her eye. The words of rejection were about to come out of her mouth when she said, “Okay, but I didn’t bring my name card. Write down my phone number!”


  Young Master Qin had not expected things to go so smoothly. After he got Ling Hui’s phone number, he chatted with her briefly and walked in front of Tang Xi, who didn’t look too good. “I got it. I don’t know why you got the idea that this woman isn’t easy to handle?”


  Tang Xi pursed his thin lips. “Why? Are you still planning to pursue her?”


  “Why not? Who doesn’t love beautiful women?”


  Tang Xi said nothing more and left the bar with a dark expression.

  Young Master Qin returned to the room upstairs and sat beside Qiao Yanze. He took a sip of wine and could not help but be confused. “What’s wrong with Ah Xi? I’m flirting with a girl and he looks like he’s on fire.”


  Qiao Yanze smirked. “Because you’re dating the goddess he once had a crush on.”


  Young Master Qin asked, “Have they been together before?”


  “Yes.”


  “They broke up?”


  “Yes.”


  “What a pity, but I wouldn’t have a chance if they didn’t break up!”


  Qiao Yanze glanced at Young Master Qin. “Are you serious?”


  “Who asked that brat, Ah Xi, to be so sure that I wouldn’t be able to woo his goddess?” Young Master Qin laughed evilly.

  …


  Coming out of the bar, Ling Hui learned from Gu Meng that Cen Xi knew six languages and knew lip language. She had a flash of inspiration. “Xiao Xi, it’s still a little difficult for my father to speak. If he only moved his lips, can you understand what he said?”


  Cen Xi nodded. “Probably.”


  Ling Hui held Ling Hui’s hand. “I have a presumptuous request. Can you go back with me? My dad wants to tell me some things but he can’t. I want you to be our interpreter.”


  “No problem. I’ll talk to my husband and go with you.”


  “Thank you so much, Xiao Xi.”


  …


  The next day, Cen Xi returned with Ling Hui.

  Once she got off the plane, Ling Hui received a call from her mother. “Huihui, are you back? Something happened at home. Your father…”


  …
