“Chu Yuanzhi, you’ve really grown wings, haven’t you? With the Gu family backing you up, both you and your precious daughter have gotten so arrogant. Don’t forget, without me, He Jihong, you’d still be a pathetic nobody stuck in the countryside. You ungrateful, black-hearted bastard……”

The sound of porcelain cracking rang out again, followed by the noise of things being smashed—bang, crash, clatter. 

Chu Yuanzhi sighed, kept washing the dishes, and pretended not to hear a thing. 

He Jihong’s outbursts were nothing new. Every few days, she cursed him out and he had become accustomed to it.

In the other room, Chu Peng stuffed cotton balls into his ears and continued drifting through the sea of knowledge with a blank expression. 

Right now, he really missed his silly older sister’s home. 

Sure, Dabao and Xiaobao could be a bit annoying, but they were nowhere near as annoying as his mom, and the food was delicious too. 

Should he run away from home again?  

This minor incident didn’t bother Chu Qiao in the slightest. 

Since she had decided to work at the dance hall, she was mentally prepared for people to find out. 

Having already died once, she truly didn’t care about something as trivial as reputation.  

The next evening, Chu Qiao went to the dance hall for her shift as usual. 

Gu Ye dropped her off and then headed upstairs, Zhao Qian had arrived, along with Tang Yaozu.  

Unbeknownst to her, another person had joined the crowd: Gu Jianshe.  

Gu Jianshe had heard about this from Xu Bilian and immediately came to verify the truth. 

Seeing Chu Qiao shining brilliantly on stage, his eyes turned red with envy. 

Like many men in the audience, he desired to possess such a beautiful woman but was unable to attain her. This sense of loss transformed into anger and contempt.

Gu Jianshe was exactly in this state of mind. He felt a strange sense of pity for Gu Ye, who must be cheated by now. 

How many women who worked at the dance hall were actually decent? Someone like Chu Qiao clearly didn’t seem like a virtuous woman. 

Hmph, thankfully I didn’t fall for her tricks back then. Otherwise, I’d be the one who was cheated by now. 

“Sir, care for a drink?” 

A gorgeous woman walked over, holding a glass of wine and batting her eyelashes. 

Gu Jianshe felt his bones go weak, he had never experienced such a situation before. 

Heat surged through his body, his eyes grew even redder, and his mind went completely blank. 

“Sir, first time here?” 

The woman was none other than Amei, the nightclub’s second-best salesperson. 

Seasoned by alcohol and experience, she could tell at a glance that Gu Jianshe was a newcomer. 

She leaned her soft body against him, her breath as fragrant as orchids, her eyes seductive as silk, and held the glass to his lips.

“Yeah, first time.”

Gu Jianshe answered honestly, his eyes fixed intently on Amei. 

His heart pounded like a drum, and his blood felt as if it were boiling. 

It was his first time realizing that Shanghai had such an intoxicating place, and his first time encountering a woman as alluring as Amei.

Amei leaned in even closer, giggling coquettishly. 

“No wonder! You’re so handsome, big brother*. If you’d been here before, I’m sure I would’ve remembered and never forgotten you. How about we share a toast? A cross-cupped toast?”

*an affectionate calling in romantic relationship

-Cross-cupped toast 

“Alright.”

Gu Jianshe swallowed hard, his throat still parched. 

His body felt as if it were burning in flames, desperately in need of something to cool it down, and the fine wine was exactly what he craved at that moment.

Amei waved her hand, and a waiter promptly approached to pour her a glass of wine.

“Let’s drink together, big brother*.”

Amei batted her eyelashes seductively. 

Gu Jianshe, mesmerized like a puppet, followed her lead and drank the toast with her. 

Amei giggled coquettishly, refilling his glass while pouring just a tiny amount for herself. 

“You’re so impressive, big brother. I really like you. Shall we have another drink?”

“Alright.” 

Gu Jianshe obediently agreed and downed another glass, then another, and another, he lost count of how many he had drunk. 

His eyes grew glazed, and certain base instincts began to surface.

“Beauty, let me kiss you.”

Gu Jianshe tightened his embrace around Amei, puckering his lips to take advantage.
