I was exposed for adding my female boss to my group of female friends.

"I'm going to the restroom," Chen Ya said, getting up.

Liu Ruying looked in the direction he left, then glanced down at her own attire.

If I had known he was a womanizer, I should have dressed less conservatively today.

……

Xu Haoyu pushed open the door and entered the private room. The smell of perfume mixed with cigarette smoke hit him right in the head.

Inside the private room, a dozen or so people sat in a circle around the table, half men and half women.

Most of the men sat sprawled out, looking like thugs.

The women all had wasp waists, perky buttocks, and long legs, and wore hot pants.

At first glance, her jade-like legs stretched like a forest, her silk-clad feet stirring the heart.

This shocking scene almost suffocated the boy next to Xu Haoyu.

He was in the astronomy club, and the only smooth, black object he'd ever touched was a telescope. He hadn't seen so many beautiful legs in stockings all summer, let alone in winter?

Young Master Xu patted him and said, "I brought you here to broaden your horizons, not to embarrass you. Take it easy, your eyes are practically popping out of your head."

The boy was startled, then heard Xu Haoyu lean in and whisper in his ear:

"They've laundered their organized crime image and turned into a corporate entity. They have a strong gangster vibe. These women are just hired to fill the seats; it's standard practice for them. You can verbally flirt with those ladies, but don't touch them. They want money, understand?"

The boy nodded nervously.

The girl next to me moved closer on her own initiative. Her legs, which were covered by hot pants, were shimmering in the light, as perfectly proportioned as Saturn's rings, with a perfect balance of plumpness and thinness.

The boys had already started reciting the Heart Sutra like Tang Sanzang, afraid that they might lose control and touch her hand.

The person sitting at the head of the table was still smiling when he asked:

"Young Master Xu, I heard that your Maserati was confiscated by your father?"

"Don't even mention it." Xu Haoyu put a cigarette in his mouth, his face full of worry and despair.

“A guy from the countryside, who came from humble beginnings, stole the girl I had my eye on. I’m so worried.”

"Who's so bold as to try and hit on our young master Xu's girl? He's a poor man from a humble background."

The person sitting at the head of the table smiled and said, "There are plenty of beautiful women everywhere under the sun."

"I'm only in love with this one flower." Young Master Xu waved his hand. "Don't try to persuade me. Just ask me, it's my love, and I'm deeply in love with her."

“You romantic, young master. Here, let me toast you.” A man with stubble in his hair and a lip ring next to him raised his glass.

"It's starting already?" Young Master Xu looked surprised. His sister had already poured him a full glass of wine. He quickly put a peanut in his mouth and raised his glass.

"Come on, let's go."

"Let's have one."

The person sitting above frowned slightly and said:

"We haven't even had a drink together yet, and you're already starting to do things privately right away. What does this mean? Does Young Master Xu think we don't know the rules?"

The young man with the lip ring quickly lowered his head, not daring to speak. A fat man next to him smiled and spoke up for him:

"Sister Hua, you don't know this, but he fell in love with Young Master Xu at first sight. They get along exceptionally well, and he can't hold back anymore!"

The person sitting at the head of the table then broke into a smile and said:

"Being on good terms isn't the way to go. If you want Young Master Xu to remember you, you'd better drink three cups first."

Upon hearing this, the lip ring-wearing underling suddenly stood up and said, "Young Master, I was impolite just now. I'll make you three drinks as an apology."

Xu Haoyu reached out his hand: "No!"

After saying that, the man finished his drink in one gulp and showed him the bottom of his cup: "One cup!"

"Alright, alright, can't you drink slowly?"

"Two cups!" The man downed the rest in one gulp.

Xu Haoyu waved his hand at the person at the head of the table: "Sister Hua, that's enough. It started with one cup, now it's two, that's three cups in total, let's drink the rest slowly."

Sister Hua then said to the lip ring-wearing boy, "Alright, since Young Master Xu has spoken, you shouldn't drink anymore. Let's raise the last glass together!"

"Splash!"

Inside the small private room, everyone stood up, raised their glasses to their chests, and shouted, "Cheers!"

After finishing their drinks, the boys from the astronomy club sat down and glanced at the lip-ringed boy with some concern.

The other person's face was flushed, and they looked uncomfortable.

Only then did he cautiously examine the woman sitting at the head of the table.

The woman had her hair up in a bun and looked to be around thirty-four years old. Although not exceptionally beautiful, she possessed a captivating charm. She wore an off-the-shoulder dress, had an extremely slender figure, and a large bouquet of roses, complete with stems and leaves, was tattooed on her left shoulder, extending from her back all the way to her collarbone.

The boy quietly swallowed.

This woman must be quite a formidable character to be able to manage so many men.

Sister Hua said, "Our company has never made money this easily before. It's like it was fed to us. It's all thanks to Young Master Xu. Young Master Xu, you are a hero in your youth."

Xu Haoyu ate, his mouth glistening with oil, and said nonchalantly:

"Isn't it all thanks to Sister Hua's connections and influence? If it weren't for you, how could I have made any waves? Whether it's the underworld or the legitimate world, everyone in the industry knows that in the Workers' Stadium area, if you want to get anything done, you have to go through Sister Hua."

"Hahaha, I'm just a woman, everyone's just being kind to me." Sister Hua chuckled charmingly.

“You’re not a woman, you’re a woman of the martial world, that’s it.” Xu Haoyu gave a thumbs up.

"Alright, 'Heroes of the Jianghu,' I like this title. We're all wandering in the Jianghu, we're all heroes of the Jianghu, come on, let's have a toast."

"Come, let's toast to the heroes and heroines of the martial world."

Sister Hua raised her glass with the hand holding the cigarette, and the two clinked glasses from afar before drinking it all in one gulp.

Although Xu Dashao was a student at Peking University, his father was always on the go doing business and lacked supervision, so he grew up playing around in the underworld.

As he grew a little older, he further demonstrated his business acumen, selling snacks in class, bottled water during sports meets, and umbrellas at the school gate on rainy days.

Later, when his father joined Beichen, he became even more prominent, and his friends in the underworld respected him even more, calling him "Young Master" whenever they met.

It's not just because he has a father in Beichen that people respect him, but also because he's ruthless and capable.

That's how the name "Young Master Xu" came about.

However, students at the school certainly wouldn't know the origin of his name.

...After a few rounds of drinks, the boys in the astronomy club also let loose.

The more he drank, the more alarmed he became, and the more unsure he was about the identity of the person at the head of the table.

He was terrified as he listened to their stories of the past over drinks.

He apologized and went outside to relieve himself. As he passed the stairwell, he suddenly saw a scene that made his heart and lungs tremble with shock.

After urinating haphazardly, he returned to the private room and whispered something in Xu Haoyu's ear, startling Xu Haoyu.

"She's here too?"

After saying that, he cupped his hands in greeting and said to the people at the table, "Excuse me, everyone, I heard that a friend of mine is eating here. I'll go out and meet him."

The crew-cut guy next to me said, "Got friends? Want to eat together?"

"No, it's inconvenient. She came with someone else." As he spoke, his expression darkened.

Sister Hua chuckled at his expression and said, "It's not that you mean 'deeply devoted'?"

Young Master Xu nodded and said in a gloomy tone, "Sorry, I'll go say a few words and be right back."

After saying that, he went out alone and quickly found Liu Ruying by following the direction the boy had given him.

"Like a shadow."

Young Master Xu called out and sat down opposite Liu Ruying.

Chen Ya had just gone to the restroom when Liu Ruying looked at him and frowned slightly.

"What a coincidence, you're here too," Young Master Xu said with a grin. "I'm just here discussing business. Guess who it's with? Do you know who owns this shop?"

Liu Ruying looked annoyed: "It has nothing to do with me."

"Who did you come with?" he asked again.

"It's none of your business."

"It can't be that Chen Ya, can it?" Young Master Xu's smile turned cold. "That scoundrel?"

Liu Ruying looked at him and said, "Watch your mouth."

Chapter 212 I wield a sharp sword, sweeping away all the worthless scoundrels.

Young Master Xu narrowed his eyes, his greedy gaze fixed on the girl opposite him.

"What? Did I call him a scoundrel and that upset you? Country bumpkin, phoenix man, gigolo, which do you want to hear? Pick one."

"Xu Haoyu!"

Liu Ruying slammed her cup down on the table with a loud "thud": "That's enough!"

"I've had enough? I'm far from enough!" Xu Haoyu stared at her. "How long have I known you? How long has he known you? You'll get angry for him, but have you ever been angry for me?"

Liu Ruying took a deep breath, then suddenly took out a hair tie from her handbag and tied her hair into a ponytail.

"it is good."

She nodded, then said, "Okay, then I'll get angry for you this once."

"You've always treated me like your possession, and I've always tolerated you and given in to you, not daring to offend you. But what do you mean by insulting my friend in front of me?"

"I'm telling you, I'm very angry!"

The girl's anger, like watermelon juice jolted violently in a glass, maintained the last vestiges of ladylike composure, remaining contained within the glass and not splashing all over the table—very dignified.

Xu Haoyu did not waver because the girl was angry; instead, his face turned cold.

"Put up to me, let me... I never imagined you would see me this way, I'm very sad."

"Otherwise, what do you think? How should I view you?" Liu Ruying's hands trembled with anger.

"Do you expect me to thank you for putting my name on your car and parading it around without my permission, and for arranging a bouquet of flowers at the entrance of the teaching building? Do you know how many times I've been called in for a heart-to-heart talk by teachers? Do you know how many times people have called me a 'green tea b*tch' behind my back?"

"But if you had agreed, none of this would have happened, would it?" Xu Haoyu said with a grin.

Liu Ruying stared at him, unable to speak for a long time, before finally parting her lips and saying in a low voice:

"You are shameless."

Young Master Xu laughed heartily: "Thank you for the compliment. I love it when pretty girls call me shameless, because shamelessness is a privilege of people like me. You'll like my shamelessness one day."

Don't be presumptuous.

"Mmm, that feels good, I enjoy it, let me curse a few more times."

Liu Ruying remained silent, only staring at him with a gloomy face.

She was helpless against this kind of person's persistent pestering.

Young Master Xu rested his arms on the table, smiled knowingly, and said:

"The reason you're protecting him now and preventing me from speaking is simply because you don't know that person's true identity. If you knew his true identity, you would find that everything I've said is true..."

"What is my true identity?"

A voice sounded behind Xu Haoyu. He turned around and saw Chen Ya's calm and composed face.

He opened his mouth, then quickly realized what was happening:

"Are you the one who drives a Lexus?"

So the person they were just talking about was the one standing right in front of them?

Xu Haoyu's eyes darted around, and his mind started working at lightning speed. He quickly understood the crux of the problem and finally matched the enemy he had been "thinking about day and night" with the real person.

"So it was you?"

What a small world...

Chen Ya sat down next to Liu Ruying, placed his hands on the table, and asked with a smile:
