Chapter 1081: Gentle Neighbor's Drama Queen Sweetheart 09

Young Master Xu, this way please.

The attendant led Xu You to the top-floor private room, respectfully opened the door, and gestured for him to enter.

Xu You felt it was strange and didn't think renewing the membership required him to come in person.

But this club is truly mysterious; even his father has to give Boss Jin Chen some face, so upon reflection he couldn't easily refuse.

When Xu You entered, Jin Chen had already been waiting for a while.

He couldn't help but glance several more times; the man seated behind the desk wore a simple black shirt, and just looking at him one could clearly feel the toughness of his waist, back, and arms, full of hormones.

Even though he already had a satisfying lover, Xu You couldn't help but admit that this boss was practically the eye-candy of their circle.

Long time no see, Young Master Xu.

Jin Chen glanced at him, his tone aloof yet polite: 'Trouble you to make the trip yourself.'

'Since the boss invited me, how could I not come?'

Xu You sat opposite him, glanced at the cup of wine, and said, 'It seems what the boss wants to discuss today is quite important; he even brought out his collected wine.'

Jin Chen's voice was low: 'This wine's vintage is fine, just the taste is a bit sour.'

'No matter how good the wine, if it doesn't suit the palate, it can only be used to entertain guests and cannot be enjoyed alone.'

Xu You, too, had grown up in an environment of flattery and deceit; hearing the hidden meaning in his words, he held the wine cup and examined it, his gaze falling on the ripples.

Under normal circumstances he might still have gone along with it, but having just seen something unpleasant, Xu You was no longer in the mood.

'If the boss has something to say, he might as well say it straight.'

Jin Chen turned the screen, showing him the recorded surveillance footage.

'Young Master Xu, take a look at this first.'

Xu You suddenly felt a bad premonition in his heart.

As the video played second by second, his face grew increasingly grim.

Jin Chen: 'Mr. Xue has repeatedly used your partner's identity to make offensive demands on our staff.'

'As a VIP client of our club, I think you have the right to know about this.'

Xu You took a deep breath: 'I understand.'

No matter how angry he felt inside, Xu You could always maintain his composure in front of outsiders.

Unlike the original plot, this matter was exposed by Jin Chen.

Xu You could tolerate Xue Yuanjing being tempted by others, but he absolutely could not tolerate being made to lose face.

He gripped the highball glass tightly, his force extreme; after a few seconds of contemplation he spoke: 'I've already seen it; this surveillance should be useless to the boss.'

'Of course.'

Jin Chen, for his sake, deleted the video, his smile aloof: 'Out of respect for your face, I have tolerated Mr. Xue's offenses repeatedly; I hope there won't be a next time.'

He even kindly made a suggestion: 'The club's fourth floor offers extra services; if Young Master Xu permits, in the future Mr. Xue could go directly to the fourth floor.'

What's the difference between that and an outright slap in the face?

Xu You forced a smile, stood up, and didn't drink a sip of the wine in his cup.

'I won't let him come here to cause trouble again; I have other matters to attend to, farewell.'

'Please go ahead.'

Jin Chen nodded, seeing him off.

【Host, this main character (the 'shou') doesn't look as brainless as in the original plot; why must he be such a big scumbag?】

Jin Chen got up to go wash his hands in the lounge, leisurely.

【Who knows, but… maybe we can find someone to throw a wrench in the works.】

——

After finishing the club's affairs, Jin Chen carried a small cake home; just as he stepped out of the elevator, he heard arguing from next door.

Xue Yuanjing and Zhongyu Yu were arguing.

The reason was that Xue Yuanjing had just returned home without having eaten; he intended to grab some instant food from the fridge to tide himself over, when he saw the cake box inside.

He thought it was Zhongyu Yu who bought it for him to eat, so he leisurely carried it to sit on the sofa, but ended up bumping his waist; upon reaching out and touching it, his expression changed instantly.

A valuable cufflink.

Zhongyu Yu's usual attire would never call for such an item.

Xue Yuanjing, feeling resentful, wondered whose it was, just as Zhongyu Yu came out of the master suite.

'You…'

Before Xue Yuanjing could speak, he saw Zhongyu Yu stride over quickly, take the cake away, as if afraid he'd snatch it.

'Didn't I tell you to order takeout?' Zhongyu Yu said with slight displeasure, 'The cake is mine.'

The already rising anger grew even stronger.

Xue Yuanjing's face darkened; although seated, his chilly aura was intimidating.

'It's just a cake; eat it if you want.'

'Or… is the person who bought the cake very important to you?'

Zhongyu Yu frowned, retreated half a step, not knowing what he was angry about again.

'If you want to eat it, go buy it yourself.'

This attitude left Xue Yuanjing slightly stunned, his gaze turning somewhat strange.

It seemed that over the past week they hadn't met, and Zhongyu Yu had changed quite a bit, though he couldn't put his finger on exactly how.

Xue Yuanjing temporarily suppressed his anger; despite his grim face, he managed to squeeze out a smile, standing up as if to bestow a favor, as though he wanted to hug.

'I know you've been swamped this week with no time to be with me; Xiao Yu, are you angry?'

His outstretched arm met empty air; Zhongyu Yu avoided his embrace again, saying, 'I'm not angry.'

Zhongyu Yu inexplicably shunned his approach, her brows slightly furrowed, "I have to go film, you…"

"Zhongyu Yu, what are you throwing a tantrum about?"

Before he could finish, he was cut off by a sentence full of anger.

Zhongyu Yu was somewhat startled, panicked and stepped back a few steps, almost getting hit in the face by the cufflinks he threw out.

"The cake wasn't bought by someone else, right? Then tell me what this is!"

Zhongyu Yu's shoulder ached from the blow, he instinctively bit his tongue, picked up the cufflinks, puzzled, "This is…"

Is it Jin Chen's?

Zhongyu Yu wasn't quite sure, and hadn't noticed whether Jin Chen wore them before.

Maybe it was a sample sent by some brand, and I missed it when I opened the package that day.

But at this moment, his hesitation was taken as acquiescence by Xue Yuanjing.

Looks like this person is on good terms with you, buying you cake and even leaving cufflinks at home! What did you do on the sofa? Ah!

Zhongyu Yu heard the meaning in his words, incredulous, "Xue Yuanjing! What nonsense are you spouting!"

Xue Yuanjing's eyes flickered with a sickly dark light, his mind full of the person he hasn't slept with yet, perhaps they've already done it here with someone else.

But he insists on showing extreme affection, even though it looks extremely disjointed.

"Xiao Yu… be good, don't hide from me, has someone done something to you?"

Xue Yuanjing questioned while slowly moving closer, "Oh, I was just too worked up, right? I didn't mean it, you can't make me this angry."

Zhongyu Yu stepped back step by step, his face as pale as paper, both angry and fearful.

"Xue Yuanjing! Get out!"

Thud, thud-thud.

A fairly loud knock sounded, leaving the two people in the living room stunned.

Xue Yuanjing suddenly curled his lip, speaking sinisterly: "Let me guess, it couldn't be that person who came to the door, could it?"

He quickly walked over to open the door, moving fast.

Jin Chen's smile vanished upon seeing Xue Yuanjing, replaced by just the right amount of suspicion and vigilance.

"Who are you? Zhongyu Yu?"

Xue Yuanjing snorted coldly, "I should be asking who you are!"
