Chapter 518 Twilight Bar
At this moment, Su Yunxi, dressed in a plush pajama set, came downstairs.
"Sister Yunxi..."
Upon seeing Su Yunxi, Wei Linlin shrunk her neck and immediately pointed at Chen Xuan, "This has nothing to do with me. It was all this guy who instigated me to go out and have fun."
Chen Xuan rolled his eyes upon hearing this, thinking Wei Linlin was too disloyal, turning around and leaving him to take the blame.
"It's best if you don't, so hurry up and go write your homework. You've missed more than half a month of classes, and you need to catch up on a lot of coursework." Su Yunxi put on a stern face.
It wasn't that Su Yunxi was being unreasonable; if she didn't put on a stern face, Wei Linlin wouldn't be afraid at all.
Wei Linlin had a flash of inspiration, "If I catch up on all my classes, can I go out?"
Su Yunxi pondered for a moment. That was indeed the case, so she nodded, "Yes."
Upon hearing this, Wei Linlin cheered and jumped up, "Oh oh oh, I can finally go out and play!"
Huh?
Su Yunxi's eyelashes trembled slightly. It was over! She had fallen into Wei Linlin's trap!
"Go out for what?" Chen Xuan was a little confused.
Wei Linlin smiled, "I finished catching up on those classes long ago. They were all too simple. I understood them after just one look. I even got first place in the class today's quiz."
Chen Xuan was a little surprised.
Wei Linlin hadn't been to school for half a month, yet she could still get first place in the exam. Her intelligence was truly impressive.
At this moment, Wei Linlin had already gone to change and was about to head out, cheering.
"No!"
Su Yunxi immediately changed her mind, but it was too late.
"Sister Yunxi, you're a big CEO. A promise is a promise. You're not going to go back on your word, are you? If your employees find out, how will you gain their trust?" Wei Linlin said pitifully, but her words were coherent and well-reasoned.
Su Yunxi had no idea how to refute her.
Seeing this, Chen Xuan stepped in to help Su Yunxi, "Forget it, Yunxi. Uncle Wei is just worried about Linlin going out alone at night. I'll go with her."
Su Yunxi hesitated for two seconds before nodding, "Alright."
Wei Linlin cheered and looked at Chen Xuan gratefully. If Chen Xuan wasn't her future brother-in-law, she would have definitely kissed him.
"Be back by ten-thirty." Su Yunxi glanced at the time.
Wei Linlin was a little unhappy upon hearing this.
However, Wei Linlin was already quite satisfied. Going out to play during school days was something that happened only a few times a year.
While Wei Linlin was changing, Su Yunxi specifically reminded Chen Xuan to bring Wei Linlin back on time, so as not to delay her studies.
Looking at Su Yunxi's appearance, Chen Xuan couldn't stop smiling.
He could almost imagine how Su Yunxi would treat their children if they had any together.
"What are you smiling about?"
"Nothing."
Chen Xuan shook his head repeatedly.
Wei Linlin put on heavy makeup. She wore a black down jacket with a white sweater underneath, jeans, and Martin boots. She also had many flashy accessories on her, which further leaned her style towards a nightclub vibe.
Chen Xuan pouted helplessly at the sight.
No wonder Uncle Wei didn't want her to go out. Anyone who saw her would think she was some delinquent.
"Little Xuanzi, let's go!"
Wei Linlin slung her bag over her shoulder and waved.
"Didn't you just beg me a moment ago?" Chen Xuan's lips curled into a smile.
Wei Linlin showed an embarrassed expression, "You're the boss, boss, please..."
Chen Xuan smiled slightly and quickly followed.
Under Su Yunxi's watchful gaze, Chen Xuan drove Wei Linlin out.
"Let's go to the Twilight Bar!" Wei Linlin was exceptionally excited as she sat in the passenger seat.
Following the navigation, Chen Xuan drove to a brightly lit building and was stunned by the scene before him.
Although it was already night, the Twilight Bar was as bright as daylight, with lights flashing in various colors. Especially in front of the bar, there was a man-made mountain of lights. It was a shame it was winter; otherwise, there would have been music, light fountains, and it would have been incredibly vibrant. Occasionally, one would witness proposals happening.
The Twilight Bar was very lively, with elegantly dressed young men and women frequently entering and exiting.
Judging by their attire, those who could enter and exit here were undoubtedly of extraordinary status in the provincial capital.
This was indeed the case. It was a membership-based establishment. To obtain a membership card here, in addition to having a certain status, one had to pay a minimum annual membership fee of 100,000 yuan.
And this was just the basic membership fee; it did not include any consumption. It was said that the highest-tier membership fee exceeded one million yuan annually, and it wasn't something anyone could get.
Chen Xuan went to park first. By the time he parked the car and walked to the entrance, Wei Linlin had already met up with a group of fashionable young girls.
Beside Wei Linlin, Chen Xuan immediately spotted the one who was as beautiful as a lotus emerging from water. There were also a few other familiar faces: Gu Junjie, the young master of the Gu family, and Qiao Yingjiao, her former best friend with whom Wei Linlin had fallen out.
However, what surprised Chen Xuan was that Gu Junjie was actually putting his arm around Qiao Yingjiao's slender waist. Qiao Yingjiao was leaning against Gu Junjie's chest, looking very intimate. As if to assert her dominance over Wei Linlin, Qiao Yingjiao deliberately acted even more intimately.
"Oh, Linlin, is this your boyfriend?"
At this moment, a crisp voice, tinged with disdain, rang out.
A tall girl with dreadlocks, chewing gum, was scanning Chen Xuan with contempt in her eyes. Her gaze lingered on Chen Xuan for only a second before shifting to Wei Linlin, her eyes carrying a hint of amusement.
"Yes, he's alright, maybe a hundred times more handsome than your boyfriend."
Wei Linlin seemed to have a bad relationship with this girl and deliberately hooked her arm around Chen Xuan's. She lowered her voice and said, "Chen Xuan, this is my arch-nemesis, Liu Qingqing. Watch me handle this."
With the arrow already nocked, Chen Xuan could only play along with the script. He resigned himself to letting Wei Linlin cling to his arm.
Wei Linlin was young, but she was well-endowed, causing Chen Xuan's arm to feel some strange sensation.
It had to be said, Wei Linlin's words were quite cutting.
Standing next to Liu Qingqing was a young man dressed in a flashy manner. Although he was quite handsome, he appeared somewhat effeminate.
Aside from his ordinary attire, Chen Xuan, both in appearance and masculinity, could easily outshine the other man.
Looking at the young man beside her, Liu Qingqing gritted her teeth in anger, thinking she needed to find a different man in the future.
The young man's face turned completely red, whether from anger at Wei Linlin or from Liu Qingqing's disdainful gaze was unclear.
"Wei Linlin, you'd better watch your mouth." Liu Qingqing's face turned pale and then flushed, her rebuttal weak.
"Why are crows appearing in winter?"
"You!" Liu Qingqing was almost furious.
"Are we going in or not? If not, I'm going back. I have to be back by ten-thirty," Wei Linlin said dismissively.
Wei Linlin was sharp-tongued, and Liu Qingqing was no match for her. After being beaten down several times, she lost interest.
They were all old acquaintances and had come out to have fun, so they didn't want things to get too awkward. Thus, they walked in with laughter and chatter.
The waiters here seemed to recognize them. As soon as they entered, they attracted the attention of the management. Even the manager in charge of reception personally greeted them and, with a fawning demeanor, led the group to the largest seating area in the bar.
Liu Qingqing's boyfriend pulled out two ten-thousand yuan bills and threw them at the manager. The manager's face broke into a smile as wide as a chrysanthemum as he cupped his hands to receive the money.
Then, Liu Qingqing's boyfriend shot Chen Xuan a provocative glance and sneered, "What's the use of being handsome? See that? I have money."
