Chapter 249: Chapter 248 The So-called Fair-weather Friends

"Already agreed to go?"

Chen Luoyang, who was signing the contract, slightly moved his wrist and signed his artistic signature.

"Reporting to the Sect Hierarch, Lin Siyin and her party have confirmed their transportation to Four Seasons Water Park. They will be riding in Zifu Mutianzi’s car. Do we need to protect and escort them?"

Kneeling on one knee on the ground, Wang Fei reported with his head lowered.

"Um..."

A thoughtful look appeared in his eyes, Chen Luoyang twirled the pen in his hand and nodded, "Have the person called Vermilion Bird secretly protect them. There must be absolutely no mistakes."

"Yes, Sect Hierarch!"

Wang Fei, having received his orders, left the room.

Chen Luoyang, sitting in his office chair, sighed softly.

He put down his pen and walked over to the floor-to-ceiling windows, looking up at the clear sky, "The will of heaven is always hard to fathom, and now the Ancient God Sect comes to atone."

...

Under the guise of a bodyguard, along with the folks from dorm room 521, and the couple Xiong Kang and Mu Tianzi, a group consisting of eight people and one cat, went to XS Bar once more.

It had been about a month since the last visit, and Lu Zixun noticed that Yang Hua seemed to have gained a little weight.

"Brother Xiong!"

Yang Hua, spotting Xiong Kang immediately, waved his hand excitedly and ran over to hug him, "I haven’t seen you in such a long time, I heard you were traveling for work again."

"Long time no see, you’ve put on weight."

Patting Yang Hua’s belly, Xiong Kang laughed, "Where’s our private room? Hurry up and take us there."

"Right away, bro."

Making a ’please-follow-me’ gesture, Yang Hua led the way, "Thanks to the heads-up you gave me during the recent inspections, Brother Xiong. Otherwise, I would have been outsmarted by that bastard next door."

"Hmm?"

Raising an eyebrow, Xiong Kang asked, "What happened?"

"That bastard made a bet with me. During the inspection period, he said that whichever one of us kept the doors open, the other bar would have to close for half a year."

Yang Hua briefly described the situation, shaking his head, and continued, "Normally, I wouldn’t have hesitated to accept the bet. A half-year closure would mean basically handing his bar over to me."

"But in the next second, I remembered your warning, Brother Xiong, and I broke out in a cold sweat."

Shuddering, Yang Hua was still frightened, cursing under his breath, "If I had opened that day, there’s no telling what tricks that son of a gun would have pulled. I definitely wouldn’t have been polite with him after that."

After hearing Yang Hua’s story, Lu Zixun looked around the bar.

It wasn’t even seven o’clock yet and the bar was already packed. It seemed like Yang Hua and that other bar were at odds with each other.

But Lu Zixun was puzzled.

If XS Bar was full, wouldn’t the customers who couldn’t find a spot just go to the rival bar?

As if hearing Lu Zixun’s thoughts, Yang Hua let out a sly laugh, "Brother Xiong, you’ve come on the right day. We’ve invited a star today. Although she’s not very famous, she’s enough to outshine that other bar."

Driven by curiosity, Lu Zixun couldn’t help but ask, "Who is it?"

Turning to see that the one asking was Lu Zixun, Yang Hua, who had previously witnessed Lu Zixun’s impressive might, quickly replied respectfully, "Jin Xiumin, a star who was once hugely popular, Mr. Cat, you might not have heard of her."

"It’s true that with XS’s capital, we couldn’t normally afford someone like her, but who knew something happened at her company, and they unexpectedly shelved her. With a friend’s introduction, I managed to land this star."

Upon hearing this, Lu Zixun’s face showed a peculiar smile, wondering if Yang Hua knew how to invite guests or not.

The first time I made a move against a human was because of this Jin Xiumin.

Her being shelved was probably due to Bai Yiyi; I can’t believe XS would invite her of all people.

"Your friend must be a fairweather one, trusting that person of all people."

Shaking his head, Lu Zixun rolled his eyes.

"Ah?"

Startled for a moment, Yang Hua lowered his stance again, took a careful breath, and cautiously asked, "Mr. Cat, is there a problem with this person?"

"Uhm... it’s not easy to say."

After all, this matter concerned Bai Yiyi’s personal reputation.

After thinking for a while, Lu Zixun finally said, "He was initially frozen out by the Bai Family. You figure it out."

Hearing this, Yang Hua broke out in a cold sweat.

Lu Zixun wouldn’t deceive him about such a thing; if Jin Xiumin really had been blacklisted by the Bai Family, then the XS nightclub daring to hire him was like digging the ground above Tai Sui’s head.

"Thank you, Mr. Cat, thank you, Mr. Cat."

The private room was right at the entrance; Yang Hua, sweating profusely, quickly asked the waiter next to him to bring in a few bottles of real good wine.

"What’s the deal with that Jin Xiumin?"

Xiong Kang, who could tell how panicked Yang Hua was just by looking at him, couldn’t help but ask Lu Zixun.

"He offended Bai Yiyi. The enemy bar just wanted XS to close down; Yang Hua actually wants his friend dead, huh." He chuckled twice as he answered.

"His friends..."

Thinking it over, Xiong Kang couldn’t help but laugh: "They are truly fair-weather friends."

Hearing Xiong Kang emphasize the term ’fair-weather friends.’

Lu Zixun raised an eyebrow: "What do you mean?"

"It’s exactly as it sounds, friends who engage in improper relationships after drinking—fair-weather friends."

Xiong Kang explained to Lu Zixun with a mischievous smile, his expression that of a seasoned pro.

Giving Xiong Kang a speechless glance, Lu Zixun felt somewhat ashamed to associate with him and silently moved closer to Lin Siyin.

Seeing Lu Zixun leave, Guo Xin’er, who thought that the two had finished discussing official business, waved at Xiong Kang: "Come over and play games, Shishi is too good, I’ve already lost three rounds."

"I’m coming, I’m coming, watch me avenge you."

Xiong Kang walked confidently to the drinking table, head held high, chest puffed out.

...

"Are you sure she’s in there?"

At that moment, in front of XS, a handsome man in a white suit, looking tense, asked by a supercar.

"Mr. An, I’ve already inquired, all her roommates are inside."

The man in the tracksuit in front of him smiled and smoothly took out a bouquet of roses from the copilot’s seat of the supercar: "Remember the spirited way you were, Mr. An. Be confident; you’ll be successful."

He patted Lin An’s shoulder and handed the roses to him.

The man in the tracksuit slapped his shoulder: "Let’s go, the brothers are with you. If it works out, we’ll drink happily; if not, we’ll drink sadly. It’s not a big deal."

"Ha."

Lin An, who had been very nervous, relaxed significantly at once and playfully punched the man in front of him.

"Zhu Fanglei, you just want to drink, why are you blathering with me."

"Hahaha, you saw right through me."

Seeing that Lin An was less tense, Zhu Fanglei breathed a sigh of relief: "Let’s go, who wears a suit to a bar? Man, you really know how to play the part."

"Get lost, idiot."

Pretending to kick Zhu Fanglei, Lin An looked up at the XS nightclub sign, took a deep breath, and slowly walked in.
