Chapter 587: Chapter 592: Drowning Sorrows in Alcohol_1
Wang Yueqin had not anticipated that things would escalate to this point. The usually obedient daughter she was accustomed to had suddenly turned on her over a boy. Watching Cao Ying’s resolute figure rushing outside,
Wang Yueqin felt like something precious was moving far away from her.
"Little Ying... where are you going?!" Wang Yueqin cried out, intending to follow and stop her. But she, who seldom exercised, could barely move her legs in this tense moment. She could only watch as Cao Ying drifted further away.
Wang Yueqin found herself panicking slightly, worrying that a dejected Cao Ying might undertake some irrational actions.
Just then, Wang Yueqin noticed Lin Feng silently following Cao Ying. He walked quickly, closely tailing Cao Ying without uttering a word. Even though he was silent, it was evident that this young man’s gaze, and his entire being, were focused on her daughter.
Unexpectedly, Wang Yueqin found herself reminiscing about her first encounter with Cao Tiannan during her younger days. It was a late evening in March in Jiangnan. A pesky plum rain was falling, irritating her. As she walked out of the school gymnasium after a performance, staring gloomily at the continuous rain, he appeared with a large umbrella. When Wang Yueqin and Cao Tiannan huddled under the same umbrella, walking on the school’s cobblestone path, the feeling of being able to lean on someone allowed Wang Yueqin to decide in just a few short minutes that Cao Tiannan was the man she could entrust her life to.
All of a sudden, Wang Yueqin felt somewhat dazed. When she was at university, she was the famous campus beauty, while Cao Tiannan had seemed to be a somewhat reserved and honest senior. Why did she decide he was the right person to entrust her life to?
Wang Yueqin had not forgotten that while her choice did prove to be the correct one, there were numerous conflicts with her family over her decision to be with Cao Tiannan.
"Lin Feng is just my first friend... Mom, are you really not allowing me to have a real friend?"
An echo of her daughter’s words rang in Wang Yueqin’s ears, leaving her increasingly bewildered.
When did I become the very adult I despised in my youth?
Wang Yueqin watched the branches trembling slightly in the north wind, her expression somewhat melancholy.
She now suddenly felt that Mr. Cao was indeed much smarter than her. Their daughter was truly growing up and could no longer be controlled as they once did.
However, regardless of the situation, Wang Yueqin absolutely did not feel at ease letting Cao Ying be alone with Lin Feng for too long. She glanced in the direction they had departed, then at the handbag Cao Ying had left behind in the room. Taking out her phone, she dialed a few numbers. Once the call connected, Wang Yueqin said solemnly into the receiver, "Li Ping, it’s me. I need you to take another trip to Longyue Building. Auntie needs you to help with something..."
...
Cao Ying had initially rushed out of the Spring Dawn Room on impulse. She had not frequented this Longyue Building Club much before. After walking for several dozen meters, she quickly realized that the surrounding pavilions and kiosks all looked more or less the same, and she no longer knew the way!
However, Cao Ying knew that being in such an upscale club, her safety was more or less guaranteed, so she wasn’t overly concerned about her personal well-being.
What Cao Ying wanted to do now was find a place where she could drink, to have a couple of drinks and drown her sorrows.
She was unaware that as she walked despondently along the small path in her professional attire, her hands clasped before her, she was an incredibly eye-catching sight to the passing patrons.
Coming and going along the small paths were portly, middle-aged men and beautiful women dressed in qipao uniforms. These middle-aged men were, without exception, prominent businessmen and officials in Jiangzhou City. Although everyone knew what sort of dealings they were involved in at such a venue, these men, with beautiful women on their arms, still maintained a very suave appearance, their faces betraying no hint of lewdness.
However, when their gazes strayed towards Cao Ying, their expressions all changed abruptly. They had thought the beauties beside them were already top-tier, but compared to Cao Ying, who possessed an unusual and noble aura, these professional beauties who made their living in the club year-round seemed far too unrefined.
Every man who noticed Cao Ying had similar thoughts. These Longyue Building hosts are truly awful! To have such a top-tier beauty and not tell me, instead trying to fool me with this kind of trash... Just name the price, it’s not like I can’t afford it!
Of course, most of the patrons knew that Longyue Building was different from ordinary establishments. No matter how dissatisfied they were, they couldn’t casually cause a scene. The stunning beauty before them could very well be the private treasure of some high-ranking official or wealthy tycoon. If they rashly made a move on her, they could very likely bring great disaster upon themselves.
Cao Ying was blissfully unaware that she had become the focus of attention for numerous male guests. After walking for a few more minutes, she discovered a bar playing soft, soothing music that was open for business. She walked in without a second thought.
The bar’s decor was very stylish, clearly catering to a younger clientele.
Cao Ying felt that the music playing resonated deeply with her.
"Miss, what would you like to drink?" The young, handsome bartender was struck the moment he saw Cao Ying, feeling as if his eyes had suddenly brightened.
After instinctively sizing Cao Ying up, he had already determined that this beauty before him was different from those professional women of ill repute; she was definitely a woman of status.
Cao Ying glanced at the professional bartending tools in front of the bartender, her lips slightly parted, about to order a cocktail. But then she suddenly remembered her only drinking experience with Lin Feng. That time, it seemed they had drunk beer, hadn’t they?
Thinking of Lin Feng, another wave of bitterness washed over Cao Ying’s heart. Lin Feng has probably left by now. After all, a daughter knows her mother best. Cao Ying knew how much pressure Wang Yueqin could exert.
She looked up at the young bartender and said faintly, "Give me a Changdao Chunsheng."
"Ah... beer?" The bartender was taken aback. Based on his assessment of Cao Ying, he was certain this beauty would never order beer!
"You don’t have it?" A hint of disappointment flickered across Cao Ying’s face.
"Yes, we do... yes, we do," the bartender hurriedly replied. He poured a glass of Changdao Chunsheng, added two ice cubes, and placed it in front of Cao Ying.
Only then did Cao Ying pick up the glass with a wry smile. Just as she was about to take a sip, she suddenly heard an exceptionally annoying voice call out from behind her...
"Well, well... this beautiful lady, why so lonely, drinking all by yourself? How about you come chat with us brothers for a bit..."
"Young... Young Master Yang! Young Master Qin!" The bartender’s face tensed the moment he saw who was speaking; clearly, the newcomers were not simple characters.
Cao Ying felt a surge of irritation but had no intention of turning around. Her red lips lightly touched the beer glass, and she took a small sip of the cold beer...
"Yo! She’s got quite the personality... I like it. Young Master Qin, don’t you dare try to compete with me this time..."
Behind Cao Ying, a young man in a white suit spoke arrogantly to another handsome man in casual attire.
