Chapter 756: Meng Xiaofei
Yue Rong couldn't have been more angry.
She was very confident in her ability to command drinking games.
Long Xiaoshan had actually managed to beat her, and if she were to claim he had never played before, she wouldn't believe it even if it killed her. Just now, he had acted so innocent, but he had actually set such a big trap for her.
Though her tolerance for alcohol was not bad,
after downing five glasses of whiskey one after another, her throat was burning uncomfortably.
Long Xiaoshan spread his hands in a casual manner, facing Yue Rong's accusation, his face as calm as a light cloud or a gentle breeze, "This is my first time playing."
"Bullshit! If this is your first time, then I, Yue Rong, will chop off my head and let you kick it around like a ball!" Yue Rong shouted excitedly, clearly getting a bit tipsy from the alcohol.
Cao Wenbai and the others quickly stood up and grabbed Yue Rong, saying, "Miss Yue, please cool your anger."
Bai Xuehen also stood up and said, "Rongrong, Big Brother Xiaoshan isn't that kind of person, he probably didn't lie to you."
Hearing Bai Xuehen still speak up for Long Xiaoshan,
Yue Rong became even more enraged and clamored, "Xuehen, don't let him deceive you. This guy is so sneaky and despicable, who knows how many sweet nothings he usually tells you. No, you absolutely cannot be with him."
Bai Xuehen frowned slightly and said helplessly, "Yue Rong, I've already told you, Big Brother Xiaoshan is my good friend, he wouldn't lie to me."
"Bastard, just how many love potions have you fed Xuehen! Let me tell you, this is far from over." Yue Rong glared at Long Xiaoshan like a fighting cock, adopting the look of a tough girl.
"Isn't that Ninth Sister? Who has made you so angry?"
A voice that carried a trace of laziness suddenly interrupted, and three people walked into the private room where Yue Rong and her group were. The room was semi-open, separated from the outside only by a transparent curtain, which made it very easy for people to walk in.
The three people who came in were all dressed in black suits.
The one walking in the front was a young man with a streak of silver-dyed hair. He looked to be about twenty-five or twenty-six years old, with a tall and sturdy build. He wasn't wearing a shirt under his suit, revealing a large expanse of solid bronze chest muscles, and a faint murderous aura seemed to emanate from him.
Yue Rong and the others frowned at the sight of someone entering their private room without permission.
However, upon recognizing the person,
Yue Rong's expression changed, as if sobering up a bit, and she squeezed out a smile, "Brother Xiaofei."
The silver-haired youth looked at Yue Rong with a half-smile, "You still remember your Brother Xiaofei, not bad. I thought after Ninth Sister went to university, you wouldn't care for us old brothers anymore."
"How could that be, Brother Xiaofei, you're joking." Yue Rong forced a more strained smile.
This silver-haired youth was named Meng Xiaofei.
He was a well-known thug from the Jiuyan Bridge area.
When Yue Rong was in junior high, she was extremely rebellious, often skipping class to hang out. She was the typical bad girl, and, coupled with her wealthy family background, she spent money like water. She became well-known around Jiuyan Bridge from a young age and got to know many gangsters and thugs.
Among them, Meng Xiaofei was the most formidable.
Meng Xiaofei was a tough character, starting as a small-time hoodlum and, within a few years, took control of the Jiuyan Bridge area. With many bars around, it was a lucrative area, and taking charge of it showed his capabilities.
Back then, Yue Rong hung out following Meng Xiaofei and his crew, and even acknowledged each other as so-called sworn siblings. Yue Rong, being the youngest, was named the ninth, and she was called Ninth Sister within the circle.
However, as she grew older and especially during her final year in high school, her family underwent a major crisis, and her father fell ill and passed away. His dying words helped Yue Rong to have an epiphany. She didn't want to waste her youth in idleness anymore, so she gradually left her old circle of friends to focus on her studies. Leveraging her artistic talent from a young age, she managed to gain admission to the Xichuan Music Academy.
Because she had been away from that circle for a long time, and had cut off contact abruptly, Yue Rong felt guilty facing Meng Xiaofei. After all, having mixed with Meng Xiaofei and his group for several years, she naturally knew his methods.
Meng Xiaofei's seemingly casual glance swept over the people in the private room.
It lingered a moment longer on Bai Xuehen, and his gaze brightened momentarily.
People like Meng Xiaofei were often in those venues, seeing plenty of beautiful women, but girls as fresh and ethereal as Bai Xuehen were exceedingly rare.
He walked straight over to the couch and sat down, smiling faintly, "Ninth Sister, what were you shouting just now? Who's bullying you? Tell Brother Xiaofei."
"It's, it's nothing," Yue Rong said.
"What, you're treating Brother Xiaofei like an outsider? Are you considering me a stranger?" The smile on Meng Xiaofei's face disappeared, giving rise to an inexplicable pressure.
Yue Rong's face paled slightly, and she looked up at Long Xiaoshan, a glint of resentment flashing in her eyes.
Since this kid dared to deceive her, she wouldn't feel sorry for him.
Pointing rapidly at Long Xiaoshan, she said, "I was just playing drinking games with him, and he tricked me, claiming it was his first time. Turns out, this guy was pretending to be a pig to eat a tiger, he acted very convincingly, which made me drink a lot."
As soon as Yue Rong's words came out, Bai Xuehen and the others changed expressions, and Cao Wenbai and the others recognized Meng Xiaofei's identity.
Yue Rong's words were essentially drawing Meng Xiaofei into the situation.
Meng Xiaofei's gaze shifted to Long Xiaoshan. Since his arrival, everyone else had been standing, but Long Xiaoshan alone sat there, his expression calm, as if he hadn't noticed him, pouring and drinking his own drinks.
Meng Xiaofei's eyes narrowed, and he said coldly, "Young brother has some nerve, toying with my Ninth Sister."
Bai Xuehen turned anxiously to Cao Wenbai and the others for help.
Cao Wenbai let out a low sigh and stepped forward, "Brother Xiaofei, it's just us playing around!"
"And who are you?" Meng Xiaofei glanced at Cao Wenbai.
"I am Cao Wenbai, Cao Feifan is my brother," Cao Wenbai said evenly.
"Cao Feifan, are you from the Cao Family?" Meng Xiaofei's eyes narrowed. The Cao Family had once been a top-tier family in Tianfu City. After the death of the old master of the Cao Family, they had fallen and become second-rate, but even a camel that's starved to death is bigger than a horse, and the Cao Family still carried some weight in Tianfu City.
Cao Feifan was currently the leading figure of the Cao Family's younger generation, and was also quite well known among the young masters of Tianfu City.
"Yes, Brother Xiaofei, why don't we let bygones be bygones? We're all from the same circle, after a few drinks it's easy to get into a quarrel," Cao Wenbai's tone carried a hint of arrogance.
After all, being a clan heir, he had his own pride, and though Meng Xiaofei had a good standing, he was still only an underground thug.
"Hahaha," Meng Xiaofei suddenly burst into laughter, laughter that made Cao Wenbai's face stiffen, followed by a scornful snort, "I came with Boss Guo, even if your brother was here, he wouldn't dare ask me to back down, what are you worth?"
Cao Wenbai's face couldn't have looked uglier; as a direct descendant of the Cao Family, being humiliated by a petty thug was insulting. But the mention of Boss Guo shocked him, "Boss Guo is here too?"
Meng Xiaofei was just a small-time thug, and though he was doing quite well for himself now, with most of the bars and nightclubs in the Jiuyan Bridge area under his control, he was just a bouncer.
He was no match for Boss Guo.
Boss Guo was the real power broker in Tianfu City.
Most of the nightlife and entertainment venues in Tianfu City had Boss Guo's stake in them.
Even this VOGUE was one of Boss Guo's properties.
