Chapter 188: Yulan Club

The Yulan Club is a club that has only been open for a few years. However, in these short few years, this club has risen to fame, even showing a trend of competing with those long-established, prestigious clubs.

A sports car pulled up in front of the Yulan Club, and a valet came up to greet it, guiding the sports car to a parking space. After parking the car steadily, Chen Jing and Lingyun stepped out of the vehicle.

Looking at the resplendent club before him, Lingyun couldn't help but let out a sound of surprise. Although others might not be able to see it, Lingyun saw that on the walls of this club, there were faint traces of an Array. Although it was only the prototype of an Array, it was enough to show that the power behind this club was not simple.

"Is this the Yulan Club you were talking about?" Lingyun asked Chen Jing beside him.

Chen Jing was not dressed as casually as she was at school today; instead, she wore a long, pure white dress, had light makeup on her face, and wore a faint smile. Even though Lingyun and Chen Jing had been classmates for quite some time, he still felt a sense of amazement upon seeing her.

"That's right, this place is the Yulan Club. Although it has only been open for a few years, by relying on its own top-tier service capabilities, it has already ranked among the top clubs in Beijing. This club has a quite powerful background; even the Su Family, where Wanyue is, is wary of the backing behind this club. Quite a few people have suffered significant losses in front of this club," Chen Jing said in Lingyun's ear.

"Looking at it like this, has someone tried to test the strength of this club?" Lingyun asked.

"Two years ago, because the development of the Yulan Club threatened the interests of an old-established club. Because they couldn't compete head-on, the club's boss used some dishonorable means, wanting to bring down the Yulan Club. As a result, in just one week, that club was directly sealed off, and the forces behind that club's boss didn't dare to say a word," Chen Jing said. "There is another example, and that is Zhou Tianqi of the Zhou Family. Relying on being the son of the current Clan Master of the Zhou Family, he wanted the manager of the Yulan Club to accompany him for drinks, but he was directly thrown out by the security guards. In the end, he was even forced by his father to come to the Yulan Club to apologize; only then did this matter pass."

Seeing the happy look on Chen Jing's face when she mentioned Zhou Tianqi getting snubbed, Lingyun couldn't help but sigh inwardly at how dissatisfied Chen Jing was with this marriage arrangement her father had made for her.

"It seems the forces behind this Yulan Club are truly not simple!" Lingyun chuckled. "Alright, let's go in; don't let your friend wait too long!"

"Mm, let's go." Chen Jing bit her lip, then reached out and hooked her arm around Lingyun's.

Lingyun's body stiffened slightly, then he looked at Chen Jing beside him. Chen Jing gave him a smile, then pulled him toward the main entrance of the Yulan Club.

After entering the Yulan Club, Chen Jing led Lingyun straight to the front desk attendant.

"Hello, is there anything I can help you with?" The front desk attendant gave Lingyun and the other a smile.

Lingyun's gaze swept quickly through the club, and he couldn't help but give a thumbs-up to the person running it. The attendants here were clearly well-trained, wearing appropriate smiles, and their words and actions were polite, giving people a very comfortable feeling.

"My friend booked a private room!" Chen Jing said. "Her name is Song Yuxin."

"Alright, please wait a moment!" The attendant nodded and began operating the computer in front of her.

However, what made Chen Jing frown was that the attendant's gaze kept drifting toward Lingyun, with little stars flashing in her eyes. After all, the temperament of Lingyun, dressed in a formal suit, was truly too unique; it was normal for the opposite sex to be attracted to him.

"Ugh, I really miscalculated!" Feeling the gazes that kept falling on Lingyun from all around, Chen Jing's brows furrowed slightly.

Fortunately, the attendant quickly found the private room booked by Chen Jing's friend and called a male attendant to take them upstairs. Chen Jing took the opportunity to pull Lingyun away from that spot. The women around, seeing Lingyun being pulled along by a pretty girl and comparing their own situation with that girl's, mostly showed expressions of defeat and lowered their heads.

"The quality of the attendants here is very high!" Lingyun said, looking at the attendant leading the way in front.

"Mm, the attendants here were all interviewed one by one by the manager here. Because the service quality is high, their wages are not low, and plus, it's very easy for people here to see all kinds of powerful and influential big shots, so quite a few people are trying hard to squeeze into this club!" Chen Jing explained.

Lingyun's gaze swept over a team of security guards walking past him, his eyes narrowing slightly. The security guards here were not simple people either; although they hid it well, Lingyun still felt a hint of a soldier's ferocity from them. And these soldiers were not ordinary soldiers; otherwise, it would be impossible to hide their aura so well.

What made Lingyun pay the most attention was the person leading the security squad. Although the Inner Strength in that person's body was very thin, it was enough to prove that this was a Martial Artist who had stepped into the Yellow Tier.

"If every security squad here has such strength, then the boss of this club is really not an ordinary person," Lingyun muttered to himself.

"We're here!" Seeing the attendant stop in front of a private room door, Chen Jing said to Lingyun, who was lost in thought.

After the attendant brought the two of them to this place, she turned and left. Chen Jing reached out and pushed open the door, leading Lingyun inside.

There were already quite a few people in the private room chatting; seeing the door suddenly pushed open, they all shifted their gazes toward the direction of the door.

"Chen Jing, you're finally here!" A pretty girl sitting on the sofa stood up and trotted over to Chen Jing.

This girl had a delicate little face, and her bright, watery eyes were squinted into slits, seemingly very happy because of Chen Jing's arrival. She was wearing a shoulder-baring striped T-shirt, revealing her tender, fair shoulders, and acid-washed skinny jeans outlined her long legs, making people's imaginations run wild. The whole outfit was pure yet charming. She ran to Chen Jing, opened her arms, and threw herself at Chen Jing.

"Yuxin, long time no see. I heard you came back from abroad, so didn't I come to see you immediately!" Chen Jing let go of the arm she was holding onto Lingyun and gave this girl a big hug.

"Who is this handsome guy?" Song Yuxin's gaze quickly shifted to Lingyun, a glimmer of curiosity flashing in her eyes. In her impression, Chen Jing had always been very distant toward other boys, so who on earth was this boy who could stand by her side and even have her hold his arm?

"Him? He is the Lingyun I told you about!" Chen Jing winked at Song Yuxin.
