Zheng Yan chuckled indecently and shook her head, saying, "Just a brief encounter."
Seeing Zheng Yan speak so nonchalantly, the atmosphere in the room finally eased a bit. Although Mu Lingshan was extremely embarrassed, thankfully Zheng Yan didn't say much, which allowed her to let out a small sigh of relief.
Although Zheng Yan wasn't exactly a good person, the embarrassing incident of getting pepper spray in her eyes wasn't something she wanted to bring up either.
Moreover, since they met in the VIP room of this casino, it was enough to show that this young woman had landed a top-notch wealthy man. Even if the chances for this girl to climb the social ladder and their possibilities of interaction were equally slim, she felt no need to be hostile towards her.
"Little sister, it seems we really are fated to meet. Did you... just meet someone important?"
Just seeing Zheng Yan and thinking of that day's event made Mu Lingshan feel disgusted, and now being interrogated by her made her skin crawl, but she couldn't ignore Zheng Yan, so she just muttered an "Mm".
Mu Lingshan's awkwardness was noticed by Zheng Yan, who saw Tan Qifeng and the other two already picking girls, so she turned her attention to Chu Ge, revealing what she thought was a charming smile, and said, "Young master, since you brought your own girl, I won't intrude?"
Zhang Youze on the table laughed heartily, nodding and said, "Yanyan, today you've got some self-awareness. This young brother brought a girl whose looks and figure are really something. Much better than the ones you brought, I must say. This girl really makes one excited just looking at her, tsk tsk."
This voice, entering Mu Lingshan's ears, made her heart tighten, her mind buzzing. Even if she was slow, she realized what these ladies were here for.
If the other men needed such services and Chu Ge didn't, he would stand out here, potentially raising suspicion and ruining everything at this critical moment.
But if Chu Ge needed it, this kind of thing... how could she ever do it?
Mu Lingshan was deeply troubled, caught in a quandary, when Chu Ge squinted and shook his head playfully, "Who said bringing your own girl means you can't pick another? No matter how good a girl is, you'll get tired of her if you see her too much. I don't like hearing that."
Hearing Chu Ge say this made the corner of Mu Lingshan's eye twitch, and she felt a twinge of annoyance, two parts gratitude, and seven parts relief.
Chu Ge was clearly helping her out of an awkward situation, but even though it was necessary, hearing such words as a clearly innocent girl naturally made her feel uncomfortable.
Zheng Yan hurriedly giggled coquettishly, saying, "Young master, don't be angry. It's my fault. I apologize to you. Please pick one."
Chu Ge pretended to look over the girls brought by Zheng Yan one by one, eventually turning his gaze back to Zheng Yan, raising his chin and saying, "I think you're not bad. You it is then."
While speaking, Chu Ge glanced at Tan Qifeng out of the corner of his eye, and sure enough, saw his expression freeze, his brows slightly furrowed.
Zheng Yan was also taken aback, then giggled, "Young master, don't tease me. I'm old and dull compared to these fresh young girls. Their skills are really good though."
Sensing Tan Qifeng's restrained irritation, Chu Ge's mood lifted, curling his lips and saying, "Isn't there a saying that 'ginger gets spicier with age'? What fresh ones haven't I seen yet? Today, I just want to try someone mature like you. What, no respect?"
"This..." Seeing that Chu Ge didn't seem to be joking, Zheng Yan was even more troubled.
It's true she used to be a woman with countless lovers, but she'd been a madam for several years now. If she had to work alongside the girls she trained, wouldn't that be degrading?
More importantly, her lover Tan Qifeng was right there, and serving another man in front of him was hardly justifiable.
Tan Qifeng's lips twitched, instinctively clenching his fist, yet to win money from Chu Ge later, he could only endure it, forcing a miserable fake smile.
Suddenly, Chu Ge casually glanced at Tan Qifeng, and with great "concern" said, "Hey, buddy, why's your face turning green? Is it hemorrhoid trouble or constipation? How about you go to the bathroom first, and we'll continue when you get back?"
"No need, no need, ha ha..."
Tan Qifeng's eye corner twitched, barely managing a fake smile, squeezing out words through gritted teeth, which immensely satisfied Chu Ge.
With a concerned expression, his heart laughed coldly, muttering inside, "You can't take this already? Don't worry, the fun is just starting. Didn't you like stabbing brothers in the back? Didn't you ruin Luo Suyun and Shu Lulu's family? Didn't you want to swindle my money? Today, I'll play with you well! Let you know what real torment is!"
Enjoying Tan Qifeng's colorful face for a few seconds, Chu Ge turned his gaze back to Zheng Yan, raising his eyebrows, his expression growing impatient.
Looking at Chu Ge, who seemed subtly displeased, Zheng Yan bit her lip in difficulty and pleaded, "Young master, I've really washed my hands of this business. Please don't make it hard for me. How about this, whichever girl you fancy today, I'll cover the cost?"
In Zheng Yan's mind, since she'd already mentioned quitting, her concession should be obvious enough, and logically speaking, the girls here are younger and prettier than her, so offering for free should mean there's no reason for this young master to hold onto her.
Chu Ge's face darkened, letting out a snort from his nose, squinting his eyes as he said, "A whore has no love, a performer no loyalty, and you try to play the sentiment card with me? You amuse me. Plus, you really think I'd lack money? Who the hell needs you to waive the fee?"
While speaking, Chu Ge casually picked up a suitcase full of money, and with a "click," opened it to reveal a box full of eye-catching cash.
Reaching out, he grabbed a wad of bills and threw ten thousand yuan at Zheng Yan's face, "Ten thousand."
"Young Master, you..."
Chu Ge picked up another wad of bills and slapped Zheng Yan's face with a "slap," "Twenty thousand."
"I..."
Another wad of bills was thrown over, "Thirty thousand."
Next, Chu Ge didn't give Zheng Yan any chance to speak, with a high and mighty indifference, he tossed wad after wad of cash like garbage.
When Chu Ge picked up the tenth wad of bills, he didn't throw it as straightforwardly as before, but instead lightly tapped Zheng Yan's already reddened face with it.
Accompanied by the "slap slap" sounds, Chu Ge said with lofty disinterest, "Take a good look. Including this, I've already thrown out a hundred thousand. Do you really think you're worth this money? Hmm? What the hell are you worth?"
At this moment, everyone in the room was a bit stunned; no one expected Chu Ge to take things seriously with Zheng Yan.
Moreover, for such a woman, he tossed out a hundred thousand yuan in an instant? Just like the words Chu Ge had just said, is she really worth it?
In fact, regardless of what others thought, Chu Ge felt it was worth it, really worth it.
After all, this money was all easily won by him, and a hundred thousand was less than one percent of the million-plus he had won. As long as it could leave Tan Qifeng and Zheng Yan feeling frustrated, it was totally worth it to vent for Luo Suyun and Shu Lulu.
Furthermore, Chu Ge knew very well that even though Zheng Yan could see and touch this hundred thousand yuan now, it wouldn't be long before she had nowhere to spend it. This money was just a mirage for her, and she could only feel empty joy.
Thinking of Zheng Yan's expression and mood at that time, Chu Ge felt increasingly invigorated.
The few hostesses in the room dared not even breathe heavily at this point, but their eyes were tightly fixed on the scattered bills on Zheng Yan and the floor, revealing incredibly greedy looks. Could they really obtain so much money so easily? This was too lucrative!
Not only the hostesses, but Zheng Yan as well. In fact, by the time Chu Ge had thrown out thirty thousand yuan, she was already tempted. When Chu Ge used the tenth wad to slap her face, she didn't feel pain at all; instead, she felt a wave of excitement.
Aggrieved? Angry? Embarrassed? Compared to these bills, those feelings were nothing!
Tan Qifeng was indeed good to her, but when had Tan Qifeng ever been this generous? If she could really win over this rich young man, she wouldn't have to worry about anything for the rest of her life!
Thinking of this, Zheng Yan immediately changed her expression, giving Chu Ge a flirty smile.
"Sir, it's my fortune that you think so highly of me. I'm just afraid of neglecting you. I'm not trying to be disrespectful, please calm down. I will definitely give you the best service later, and make you feel utterly comfortable."
Seeing Zheng Yan's fawning look, Chu Ge snorted through his nose, glancing at Tan Qifeng's greenish face and his instinctively clenched fist.
As for Zheng Yan's attempt to secretly give Tan Qifeng a "wronged" and "helpless" look while she thought Chu Ge wasn't watching, it only made Chu Ge feel more contemptuous.
This is what it means to act shamelessly while wanting to appear virtuous; it's the perfect explanation.
At the poker table, the other three men had already selected their hostesses, and with Zheng Yan left with Chu Ge, the extras left the room, and the game officially began.
The scantily dressed female dealer professionally shuffled the cards and dealt them to the four people at the table in turn.
As the dealer dealt cards, Zheng Yan and the other three hostesses each knelt at the feet of the four men under the table.
Tan Qifeng looked at Chu Ge sitting across from him, confident and spirited, with a cold laugh in his heart.
Little did he know, Chu Ge felt the same.
If there was any difference, it was that Chu Ge's cold laugh was more confident.
