Chapter 178: Yaochi Nightclub

"Is that so?" Li Mengjie said with a quirky smile.

"Yeah, what else could it be?" Ling Xuejiu pouted. It was just a momentary impatience, a single misspoken sentence, right? Xiao Jie, this girl, really does like to dwell on things.

"Hehe." Knowing it would only provoke Miss Ling’s temper if they continued, Li Mengjie wisely chose to back off, saying, "Xue Jiu, aren’t we planning on doing something this afternoon? Staying at home is so boring!"

"Oh, that’s true. How about Disneyland?"

"Don’t wanna go!"

"Ghost Town?"

"Don’t wanna!"

"Zoo?"

"Tired of it."

"Museum?"

"Nah, don’t want to!"

"..."

"Then what shall we do?" Ling Xuejiu rolled her eyes and said, "We can’t go here or there, so how about we hit up a bar for some fun?"

Li Mengjie said, "Didn’t Grandpa Ling say we shouldn’t go to such places?"

Ling Xuejiu pursed her lips and said, "What if grandpa doesn’t find out?"

"This... doesn’t seem right?" Li Mengjie hesitantly said, although in her heart she also yearned to go. She’d only been there a few times despite her age, and she had always been with many classmates or friends, so she was never worried about trouble.

Ling Xuejiu said, "What’s there to be afraid of? Don’t forget, I am a Judo 8th Stage. Even if something does happen, it won’t be a big deal."

"Hmm!" Li Mengjie thought about it and then said, "That’s true. With you and the Cold Bodyguard, we really don’t need to be afraid of anyone. Hehe!"

"What are you talking about?" Ling Xuejiu said displeased, "We’re going out for our fun. Why should we bring him along?"

Li Mengjie was taken aback and said, "Not bringing him?"

Ling Xuejiu pouted and said, "Hmph, I don’t want to see him right now!"

Li Mengjie said, "But you just said you wanted him to stick by your side for protection, didn’t you?"

Ling Xuejiu said, "When did I say that? It was clearly you who said it."

Li Mengjie said, "Aren’t you worried that if you leave him at home alone, he might go out and pick up girls again?"

"Hmm?" Ling Xuejiu paused, as if suddenly struck by conscience, and weakly said, "Well... Xiao Jie, actually, I think that’s his personal freedom. Maybe we’re... meddling too much?"

"Meddling too much?" Li Mengjie’s face flushed. Even though she knew that Leng Xuan belonged to a different world and that even if she really liked him, it was bound to lead nowhere, every person has a selfish side. Things one likes, even if unattainable, one doesn’t wish for others to have them.

That’s why Li Mengjie felt uncomfortable about Leng Xuan’s dalliances. She knew she might be overstepping, but once feelings for Leng Xuan had taken root, she couldn’t help herself.

However, with Ling Xuejiu having said that, all Li Mengjie could do was mutter an "Oh," sigh deeply, and keep silent.

"It’s still early, we can take a nap first," Ling Xuejiu said.

"Mm... "

Yaochi Nightclub!

Everybody knows that on the surface, Yaochi Nightclub is a legitimate venue, but behind the scenes, they indulge in all sorts of illegal activities, including gambling and drug dealing, rampantly unregulated.

Since the person pulling the strings behind the nightclub is none other than the Crown Prince of the Imperial Cao Palace Group, which ranks just below the Ling Corporation, nobody in the underworld or legal circles would ever dare to disrespect or fail to show face to him.
