Chapter 137

"I've been drinking, and the driver is off today because of a family matter. Could you drive me?" Qiao Muting asked Shu Xia.

Shu Xia had just received a car, so she felt bad refusing, "Alright, I'll drive you."

More than twenty minutes later.

They arrived at a club.

"Come with me, and we'll go home together after it's over," Qiao Muting said to Shu Xia.

Shu Xia had originally intended to go back after dropping Qiao Muting off; coming out to see friends at this hour meant they might stay up all night.

As it turned out, he actually said they would go home together after it was over.

Fine, if you're going to help, you might as well see it through to the end.

"Then how should I introduce myself to your friends?" Shu Xia asked.

Qiao Muting's dark eyes fixed on her face for a few seconds, and he said, "Just say you are my secretary."

"Fine."

Secretary it is.

She guaranteed she would play the part of a secretary perfectly without any slip-ups.

After entering the club, they went up to the top floor.

This club was surprisingly quiet.

It seemed that people from these wealthy families who valued privacy would all come here.

Shu Xia had never been to a place like this, but she wasn't all that curious either.

Jiang Nannan seemed to have mentioned this club to her before; the cost of a single night here could potentially cover a normal family's living expenses for several years.

She said Huo Jingyan had brought her here a few times to meet up with friends.

But she rarely ran into Qiao Muting, because Qiao Muting was usually very busy.

Upon seeing Qiao Muting appear, the four people who had been playing mahjong were all stunned for a moment.

Each of the four men had a beautiful woman accompanying him.

The girls were all exceptionally pretty.

Two of them seemed to be actresses; she would occasionally watch dramas when she had time, and sometimes there was a discrepancy between television and reality, but both were leading ladies, and they looked even more vibrant and eye-catching than they did on screen.

The four men playing mahjong also frequently appeared in various tabloid news; the people by their sides were either actresses, internet celebrities, or models—today it was one, and tomorrow they had switched to another; entertainment reporters must surely love them.

With so much material every day, they could dig up a whole pile just by scratching the surface.

Thanks to these scandalous news stories, she recognized all four of them.

They were Situ Ye, Mu Yu, Jiang Tu, and Lu Lin, respectively.

Among them, Situ Ye and Lu Lin were frequently in the entertainment news; the two of them usually acted as if they were in a competition to see who could change girlfriends faster and who had dated more.

Jiang Tu and Mu Yu were doing alright; it seemed both were currently single.

The beautiful women sitting beside them looked to be models based on their figures and height.

Shu Xia loved looking at beautiful women, especially since she saw the leading ladies of two dramas she had recently been watching; she suddenly felt that this trip to drop off Qiao Muting was quite worth it.

"I finally managed to call you over today. If it weren't for my birthday today, would you still not have come? Oh? Is this your..." Jiang Tu's eyes lit up when he saw Shu Xia.

This girl is really something!

He hadn't heard that Qiao Muting had any women around him.

He was so ascetic that it had led his buddies to speculate quite a bit over the past few years about whether he had some sort of problem.

And yet, quietly and without a sound, he had a woman by his side?

Shu Xia maintained a polite smile, "I am Qiao's secretary."

"Secretary?" Jiang Tu winked at Qiao Muting.

The four beautiful women's eyes had all lit up when they saw Qiao Muting, and they had felt a bit disappointed when they first saw Shu Xia, but once Shu Xia introduced herself as a secretary, the way the women looked at Qiao Muting changed immediately.
