Chapter 429 - 429 429 Playing with Minds

429: Chapter 429: Playing with Minds 429: Chapter 429: Playing with Minds Unbeknownst to Xiang Yu, He Dong’s nefarious thoughts were far from his mind as he now sat in the car with Zheng Qingxia, driving away.

They arrived at a hotel that looked quite ordinary from the outside, even unimpressive, but the interior was astonishingly luxurious.

It seemed that Qingxia was a familiar face here; as they walked into the hotel, she immediately linked arms with Xiang Yu and headed upstairs.

Xiang Yu had no actual relationship with Qingxia, and without any sense of guilt toward her, he took advantage of the situation to enjoy a little benefit.

Qingxia certainly felt Xiang Yu’s movements, but she neither disliked nor resisted them, instead looking at him with a smile and saying, “Make sure you behave later, don’t embarrass me.”

Xiang Yu had no idea what she meant by that, and he didn’t respond.

They arrived at a room and walked right in to find three men and three women already seated inside.

Although the women weren’t particularly young or pretty, they were dressed provocatively.

The three men, without a doubt, were very handsome, tall and exuding youthful vitality.

“Little Zheng, why only come now?

We’ve been waiting for you,” a slightly older woman said, casting a casual glance at Xiang Yu.

“We hit some traffic on the way.” Qingxia also smiled sweetly, then settled down next to them.

Xiang Yu found a spot for himself amidst the three men.

“I hear Little Zheng’s business has been really hot lately, raking in hundreds of thousands a month,” said one of the men.

Qingxia quickly shook her head with a smile, then nonchalantly said, “Business has been good this month, with a monthly income that should be in the three digits.” Of course, she meant to add “hundreds of thousands” after the three digits.

Upon hearing this, the other three women’s expressions shifted, obviously envious and almost jealous of Qingxia’s income.

“Qingxia’s earnings are really impressive; I did quite well this month too.

That old ghost at home just gave me a few million to spend however I like…”

At this point, Xiang Yu fully understood the nature of the gathering: these women had come to compete in showing off.

Each one presented their best side, hoping to earn the others’ envy.

On the surface, they called each other ‘sisters,’ but in reality, they all compared themselves in secret, each hoping to outdo the others.

The women incessantly bragged, eventually turning the conversation towards their four male companions and boasting about their respective male pets’ prowess.

They then pretended to be shy as they described the impressive bedroom talents of their men.

As he listened to them sing praises of these three men, Xiang Yu nearly burst out laughing.

These men were indeed handsome, but they all seemed a bit effeminate.

The way they spoke and moved was excessively gentle for grown men.

For such men to last more than five minutes in bed would truly be miraculous.

Xiang Yu didn’t bother to argue and, seeing some tasty food on the table, quietly began to eat by himself.

Finally, it was Qingxia’s turn to speak.

She then said in a low, forlorn voice, “The one I’ve found may have a pretty face, but he’s given me a hard time.”

The other three, seeing Qingxia’s furrowed brows, immediately felt cheered up.

When Xiang Yu had first entered, they had all noticed him—his tall stature, handsome face, and the unmistakable masculinity he exuded, all indicative of his superiority.

His presence had already outshone the men they had brought, and now, hearing Qingxia complain about Xiang Yu, they felt a sense of balance return to their hearts and listened intently to learn just how this man was lacking.

Qingxia, seeing she had sufficiently stirred the mood, continued with brows furrowed and an air of helplessness, “This kid can go twice a night, each time for over an hour; he leaves me completely exhausted, no need for any ‘enhancements.’ ”

Upon hearing this, the three women’s expressions changed instantly.

They had wanted to know what flaws Xiang Yu might have, but they didn’t expect him to be so bold and assertive.

They couldn’t help but take a closer look at Xiang Yu.

That’s when they noticed something—the other three men were sitting there neatly, even somewhat restrained, while Xiang Yu was unabashedly eating, doing so with gusto and seemingly enjoying every bite and sip.

The three women naturally wouldn’t miss the opportunity to mock Zheng Qingxia and turned to her with a smile, “The man you’ve brought seems a bit clueless about manners, didn’t you just pick him up off the street?”

“Yeah, the way he eats, it’s as if he hasn’t had a meal in eight lifetimes.”

“Could he be a beggar?”

The three women were all too happy to gossip back and forth while Zheng Qingxia’s face grew increasingly ugly.

She had assumed Xiang Yu, being a college student, wouldn’t embarrass her.

However, Xiang Yu’s current manner of eating was making her uncomfortable.

“What do you know, this is what a real man is like.

If men aren’t a bit hearty, should they be delicate like us?” retorted Zheng Qingxia.

“What are you talking about, sister?

A man should be gentle.

That’s more comfortable, don’t you think?”

“Absolutely, absolutely.

They are supposed to be our little boyfriends, meant to be at our beck and call.

Looking like a beggar like this, what does that make us look like?

If someone didn’t know better, they might think we’re crazy ladies.”

In the beginning, they had felt somewhat inferior in front of Zheng Qingxia, but now that they had found something to pick apart, they were eager to launch a strong counter-offensive.

By this time, Xiang Yu had almost finished eating, and noticing the women looking at him, he stopped and chuckled, then nonchalantly wiping his greasy hands on the pants of the man beside him.

“What are you doing?

Have some hygiene, don’t just touch anything,” the man said in a soft, delicate voice.

Seeing that the other was displeased, Xiang Yu then smeared the grease on the shirt of the man to his right.

The man quickly stood up and moved away from Xiang Yu, turning to the woman by his side, “Sister Wang, look at this guy, he has no sense of hygiene.

I don’t want to sit with him.”

The man’s voice was very tender, and his actions were somewhat effeminate.

Watching the three grown men acting like this, Xiang Yu really felt like slapping them across the face.

Zheng Qingxia, seeing Xiang Yu behaving so improperly, also felt embarrassed.

Xiang Yu seemed like a wild child who didn’t understand anything.

The other three women also cast disdainful looks at Zheng Qingxia, as if she had just picked up a random guy off the street.

Zheng Qingxia quickly stood up, then excused herself to go to the bathroom, and left.

The other three women then started to slander her.

They said things like how her beauty was all due to plastic surgery, and that the young pretty boy she brought was cheap trash picked up from the street, completely clueless about manners—in short, they were venomous in their remarks.

Xiang Yu was rendered speechless by what he heard.

Women were terrifying, showing one face in front and another behind the scenes.

As Xiang Yu was contemplating the invincibility of women, the three men beside him also began to gossip.

“Sister Wang is the best for sure.

Just look at that Zheng Qingxia, what terrible taste…”

The three men whispered among themselves, thoroughly enjoying their conversation.

Xiang Yu, listening in, was covered in goosebumps.

It was tolerable when women did it, but these grown men acting like gossiping women, Xiang Yu could not stand it any longer…
