Chapter 466: Chapter 466: He Deceives Me, Yet I Believe

Phoenix Building, a hive of activity.

The place was filled with flower baskets and banners, making the Phoenix Building look like an unopened gift box.

The entrance was bustling with beauties swaying gracefully.

Outside, in a line, stood burly men with broad shoulders and sturdy backs.

These were the elite subordinates of Phoenix Building.

The men were strong and powerful, and the women were elegant and poised.

Each private room had its dedicated service staff.

After assigning fixed positions and responsibilities, everyone was prepared for action.

But those coming and going all wore a look of melancholy on their faces.

After all, the banquet tables for hundreds had been set, and all the staff were in place.

Even the twelve golden hairpins, who were hard to gather even on ordinary days, were present.

But the real guests, not a single one had shown up.

If this continued, it would become the biggest joke around.

"Those damn bastards, always clinging to me every day, and now they don’t even dare to come for a meal," someone grumbled.

"Exactly, a man’s mouth is a deceiving ghost. What’s going to happen if we don’t go to Tongtian Pavilion to eat anymore? Will we lose a limb?" another added.

"Just sending a flower basket, why not save it to lay wreaths at a grave?" a third jeered.

"They better not think about getting into my bed in the future!" a fourth declared.

The passing girls all had dark expressions on their faces.

Not even the usual men from the night clubs were showing up.

This fueled their jealousy.

But aside from muttering, there was nothing they could do.

And as for the leaders, the twelve golden hairpins, they were naturally anxious too.

On the contrary, Lu Feifei sat in the chair in the middle of the hall.

She looked unbothered.

"Big sister, should we call some brothers to liven up the place? It’s going to be a joke if it stays this empty," suggested Zi Shu, the eldest of the twelve golden hairpins and slightly older than the others.

After consulting with a few others, she stepped forward.

But upon hearing her words, Lu Feifei just gave a light smile.

"If we need to prop up the place like this, then how will Phoenix Building do business in the future? Guests are guests, and our own people are our own. It’s important to make that distinction. When I open Phoenix Building for business, if it relies on our own to show support, then what kind of money am I making?"

Lu Feifei fiddled with her newly manicured nails.

Today, she was dressed in a dazzling fiery red cheongsam.

Her sleek, black hair tied up behind her head, emanating a mature charm.

"But today’s grand opening, so many people are watching. Now that the kitchen and hall are ready, but not a single guest dares to come, this could turn into a farce," Zi Shu expressed her concerns.

The time was nearing.

And without a single guest, what kind of grand opening was this?

"The ones who should come will come. You need not worry about these things. Just take good care of the guests when they arrive," Lu Feifei said calmly.

Her serene and composed demeanor was truly baffling.

"But with no guests, who do we receive?" Zi Shu sighed deeply.

She did not know where Lu Feifei got her confidence from.

"The master said people will come, and they definitely will. Just trust him," Lu Feifei’s cheeks flushed unwittingly whenever she brought up Lin Fan.

Ever since she encountered this mysterious man, her outlook on life had changed.

"Big sister, haven’t you ever been told that love can blind you? Don’t forget, a man’s mouth is a liar’s ghost."

Zi Shu looked at Lu Feifei.

This was no longer the renowned Phoenix Sister of the martial world.

She was just like a little wife waiting for her husband to return home.

"In this day and age, who doesn’t deceive? Who hasn’t been deceived? If he deceives me, I’m willing to accept it."

Lu Feifei pouted with a foolish smile on her face, the kind that comes with being in love.

Just as Zishu was about to offer some consolation, a luxury car stopped at the entrance of Phoenix Building.

"A guest has arrived!"

The gorgeous and tall greeters at the door immediately perked up.

As the car door opened, a pair of red high heels extended from the interior.

Following that, Qiao Lulu, dressed in a black evening gown, stood atop the red carpet.

The fat-bellied Du Defa hurriedly came around from the other side, brimming with curiosity.

He took an interested look at the phoenix dancing above the doorway.

Under the lights, its colorful tail feathers seemed especially lifelike.

"Wifey, this Phoenix Building sells roast chicken, doesn’t it? That chicken looks really fat; let’s go in and try it," said Du Defa, pinching his waist, a cheeky expression on his face.

His visit was clearly a provocation.

"Can you stop talking nonsense? It’s not about selling chicken; it’s about ’making’ chicken. Otherwise, why would they call it Phoenix Building, the ’leader of all birds’? So, Phoenix Building is nothing more than a chicken coop. Look at them, all dolled up, just trying to fetch a good price. It’s ridiculous - they’ve got a fine stage but choose to stand on the street instead. I just can’t fathom it," Qiao Lulu said, looping her arm through Du Defa’s, looking around with an arrogant gaze.

"A streetwalker is a streetwalker, no matter how high they stand. Weeking to be a phoenix when they’re far from it."

Such remarks immediately drew the furious glares of a dozen greeters.

The surrounding security staff quickly encircled them.

These guys were obviously there to cause trouble.

Naturally, they would not let them off the hook so easily.

"Yo, what’s this? Planning to spill blood on your first day of business? What an auspicious start!" said Qiao Lulu mockingly, unbothered by the angry crowd.

The dozen bodyguards behind her immediately stood in front to protect her, rolling up their sleeves, ready for a fight.

Just as tensions were about to erupt, Phoenix walked out with her people.

With a long cigarette holder clamped between her jade fingers, she hugged her shoulders and scrutinized Qiao Lulu.

"I knew the stench in the sewers couldn’t be this foul. Turns out it’s just you, you worn-out shoe showing up, bringing bad luck!"

"Lu Feifei, haven’t seen you for years, but you’re still as promiscuous," Qiao Lulu said, defiantly locking eyes with Lu Feifei.

Since childhood, the two had always been compared to each other.

So this old grudge wasn’t something that could be settled in a few words.

"Oh, talking about being a mistress as if you’re something special—have you forgotten you were once the famous ’public bus’? You really think finding a cuckold makes you pure? Don’t you know how broken you are inside? On the streets, your ex-boyfriends probably outnumber my subordinates."

Lu Feifei, hugging her shoulders, looked supremely self-assured.

She had been fighting and arguing since she was weaned.

"Lu Feifei, stop slandering me, you tramp, I’ve never done that!" Qiao Lulu glared at Lu Feifei angrily.

The very thing she least wanted to be reminded of was that scar from her past.

"You think I didn’t know you’d come today?" Lu Feifei suddenly raised her hand, pointing to the high-rise to the right.

"See that big screen there? I’ve booked it for the evening, just to play those action love movies of you and your ex-boyfriends. How about it, are you excited?"

"You wouldn’t dare!"

Upon hearing these words, Qiao Lulu’s fury surged.

If it were to be broadcast on such a large screen,

She would undoubtedly become infamous overnight.

But then, the sugar daddies of Modu would likely find out as well.

And everything she had achieved today could be completely ruined.

Lu Feifei, still hugging her shoulders, suddenly gave a mysterious smile.

"Of course I dare. Du Defa, open your dog eyes and take a good look at the finesse your wife displayed in battling those scholars back in the day!"
