"My brother?"
The bartender sounded mysterious and it didn't seem to be something good. Ye Guanguan fished for information, trying not to give herself away.
The bartender wasn't vigilant at all, and he replied, "Yeah. Aren't you coming to catch him when you know he's here? Don't worry. Your brother is just hammered and he's getting high."
Ye Guanguan realized that the bartender didn't know she had got married, and he thought she just sneaked out for fun again with Ye Qiancheng.
Putting down the cup in her hand, Ye Guanguan ran to the familiar private room without wasting any time. The bartender's voice came from behind, mixing with the noise around, and he sounded complacent.
"Hey, girl! Be gentle!"
Ye Guanguan scuttled away from a drunken middle-aged man, and looked at the DJ on the DJ stage. The woman was not there! At this hour every day, she used to perform on the stage to attract customers.
In the previous life, Ye Qiancheng was besotted with that woman, a woman in a club! Because of her, Ye Qiancheng was put in jail.
In this life, Ye Guanguan would never turn a blind eye. She would try to stop losses in time!
Ye Guanguan pushed open the door of the private room when the smell of alcohol sprayed into her face! In such a big room sat only that woman and Ye Qiancheng.
Her brother Ye Qiancheng was dead drunk, and he was playing the naive game of catching up with that woman. The boring love songs reverberated in the room. How "romantic" it was!
"Ye Qiancheng! Go home with me!"
Unable to restrain her anger, Ye Guanguan turned the music off, rushed up and yanked Ye Qiancheng to his feet who was already as drunk as a fiddler. She had wanted to get him onto the sofa, yet he lost control and slumped on the ground.
Meng Wanru sat on the other side of the red leather sofa seductively. Wrapped in black silk stockings, her long legs crossed. Her flaming lips shone brightly.
"There you are, Sister."
"Who is your sister? Stay away from my brother!"
Ye Guanguan strained every muscle and finally made her drunken brother sit well. It was then that Ye Qiancheng recognized his own sister.
It had been his first time to see Ye Guanguan since she got married, and he was missing her!
"Guanguan, you're home. That's great!"
As he spoke, he reached out to hug her, but Ye Guanguan pushed him away and replied, "Qiancheng, look carefully! You're in the brothel, not home. Sober up! I'm taking you home right away."
Ye Qiancheng's face blushed. Even if he was drunk, his eyes still looked charming. His long eyelashes were so curly that people didn't want to look away.
"I haven't enjoyed enough wine yet. Finally, I'm having a day off. Guanguan, don't make trouble. If Dad knows, he'll blame me again."
He was a serious businessman, but why did he fall in love with such a prostitute?
"Oh, you still know Dad will be angry? Go back home right now or I'm calling Dad."
As Ye Guanguan warned him, she took out her phone, pretending to dial the number.
Meng Wanru, sitting aside, fiddled with her long and curly hair, as if she had nothing to do with it.
Ye Qiancheng reached out and stopped his sister. "My dear sister. Don't call Dad. He's been worried. It's been only two days since you got married, and he had been sighing for two days. Let go of me, please."
"Is Dad in good health?"
What Ye Qiancheng said moved Ye Guanguan to tears. She failed to understand her father's love in the previous life. She thought her father didn't love her at all but didn't realize that until she lost everything.
Her father had never stopped loving her or tolerating her.
Ye Qiancheng composed himself. Just then, Meng Wanru handed him a cup of sober-up tea as considerately as she could.
Ye Qiancheng took over the tea and drank it all at a mouthful. After feeling much better in his stomach, he put his hand on Ye Guanguan's shoulder and explained earnestly.
"Dad is in good health, but he's too lonely. Mom died long ago. I'm busy with work every day. You've got married. Tomorrow is the day when you can return. Go back home and see him."
Tears welled up in Ye Guanguan's eyes and she said, "I'm going home right away."
"No way! You should return home with your husband. Anyway, what kind of a bride goes back to her parents' home after she just got married! A lot of people are arguing over your marriage with Lu Jinting. If you go back home so soon, they will think you don't get on well with each other."
Ye Qiancheng was used to considering for her. He had taken care of everything for her since she was born.
According to Ye Qiancheng, their father stayed at home alone and he was so lonely.
"I'll invite Dad to a restaurant then. I'm not returning home, am I?"
Ye Guanguan sniffed with her tiny nose. Luckily, she didn't burst into tears, or that would be humiliating in front of Meng Wanru.
Ye Qiancheng nodded repeatedly and said, "Good idea! I'll book a restaurant someday. But today, just let me go."
Hearing him switch the subject, Ye Guanguan was serious again.
"No way! You must go home with me!"
Ye Guanguan reached out to grab Ye Qiancheng. The latter, however, insisted on staying. He said, "I've got a girl here. Good girl, Guanguan. Don't embarrass me."
Ye Guanguan swept her eyes over Meng Wanru who was sitting it out. Seemed like it was for the first time that they met. Well, Ye Guanguan would stifle everything in the cradle before it was too late!
"Qiancheng, you can have all kinds of girls you love. Why must you play around with a prostitute?"
Meng Wanru stayed calm, but she realized that Ye Guanguan hated her. "Does she know me?" thought she.
"How come you talk like that? Guanguan, apologize to Wanru."
Ye Qiancheng had spoilt his sister Ye Guanguan for one or two decades and the latter was haughty. She wasn't scared of his cruelty at all.
"I don't care! I don't like her! Qiancheng, you're an excellent man. You will find me a great sister-in-law, won't you? Why do you like a girl in such a place?"
Ye Guanguan said this to Meng Wanru deliberately, expecting her to give up willingly.
It was so embarrassing, but Meng Wanru didn't argue back. She opened the door and stood for a while before the manager came soon.
He looked in, and wrote a list after Meng Wanru told him a few words.
Meng Wanru turned round, wriggling her hips, and put the bill on the table.
"Mr. Ye, your bill is on me. See you."
"Wanru, Guanguan is too young. Don't sweat it."
Ye Qiancheng exchanged looks with Meng Wanru. His look was too affectionate to be often seen in such a bar.
Meng Wanru nodded and replied, "Sure, I won't argue with such a young girl."
"You!"
Ye Guanguan was going mad! She stood up, trying to catch up, but Ye Qiancheng stopped her. He collapsed in the leather sofa, yelling for the pain all over his body.
Ye Guanguan was pissed off!
"Why did you drink so much? Why don't you just drown yourself?"
