Chapter 58: An Unexpected Encounter with Bo Yanching

Nan Jiaojiao’s eyes twitched slightly.

She knew very well what Minglun was.

Quite a few rich second-generation kids came here for fun, treating waiters like they weren’t human, yet that couldn’t stop some women from throwing themselves at them.

Even if they weren’t chosen by the wealthy, the price for one night was still hefty.

Ever since Nan Jiaojiao found out Ye Wanting was working part-time here, she had Lu Zhenzhen take care of things, ensuring she wasn’t mistreated or given a hard time.

But what the manager just said had cooled her heart.

She held onto Ye Wanting’s name tag, her voice cool as she asked, “Do I receive the same treatment as Ye Wanting?”

“Why ask this?

She has someone looking out for her, do you?”

The manager said sarcastically, eyes lifting contemptuously.

He thought that girls like her, with just a pretty face, flocking here obviously weren’t of good intent.

“Let me remind you, just take care of your private room, and don’t provoke the guests in room 926.”

With that, the manager walked out on her high heels.

After changing clothes, Nan Jiaojiao followed the waiter to the wine room.

Just as she rounded a corner in the hallway, a group of people approached, and she was pulled aside by the waiter, who reminded her to lower her head and stand against the wall.

“Master Bo.”

“Brother Yan!”

“If it wasn’t for Brother Chi, it would be impossible to meet up with you.

What have you been busy with lately?

Let’s have a good drink tonight.”

Bo Yanching was attired in a shirt and trousers, his suit jacket draped over his arm, with his hands casually in his trouser pockets.

A group of people eagerly crowded behind him, vying for his favor.

Suddenly, the man stopped in his tracks.

His gaze, from on high, slowly traveled from the top of the girl’s head down to her name tag, which was flipped over, and his dark pupils narrowed slightly.

“Brother Yan, what’s wrong?”

Bo Yanching withdrew his gaze as someone opened the door to private room 926 for him.

Yaen Chi, Xu Shu, and Mo Tingshen were all inside.

When they saw him come in, they put their cards down.

Yaen Chi passed him a cigarette with a smile, “We were guessing whether you’d come tonight.

Even Xu Shu, who’s so busy, graced us with his presence—surely Third Master isn’t busier than someone wielding a knife.”

Xu Shu shot him a cold look, “You don’t want to proceed with your next treatment?”

Yaen Chi immediately surrendered, “I do, that’s about the only threat you have over me.”

Xu Shu’s mouth curved in a smirk, “As long as it works.”

Bo Yanching accepted the cigarette and sat next to Mo Tingshen.

Inside the room, only the three men seated with him dared to joke with Bo Yanching.

Bo, Mo, Yaen, and Xu—these four great financial clans were like overlords in Rongcheng City.

Bo Yanching lit a cigarette and glanced around.

Loo Jinyang laughed as he dragged someone over to play cards with Yaen Chi and Xu Shu.

It was clear to everyone that he had something to discuss with Mo Tingshen.

“Is that little girl of yours surnamed Chu?”

Mo Tingshen’s eyebrows knit together slightly and the corner of his mouth quirked up with an indifferent smile, “Who’s been talking about her in front of you?”

“By chance.”

That evening when Bo Yanching took Nan Jiaojiao home, her words had caught his attention.

He had few friends, and the only Chu among them was the little girl adopted by the Mo Family years ago.

Bo Yanching hadn’t seen what she looked like, but he had heard about her a few times from Mo Tingshen’s lips.

Curious about the connection with Nan Jiaojiao, he asked.

“She was a good little girl; how could you bear to personally send her in there?”

As a glass of red wine nearly reached his lips, its rim against his mouth, Mo Tingshen’s eyes faltered, the fingers holding the glass turning pallid with a cold hue.

After a pause, he laughed once, “She wasn’t very obedient.”

Bo Yanching looked at him with surprise.

Everyone knew how much Mo Tingshen doted on that little girl.

Yet despite the affection, he ended up sending her to prison.
