Shen Chi’s facial lines tensed increasingly, his handsome and cold features accentuated by the darkness of the night, as his obsidian-like eyes hid a profound glimmer.
Perhaps because he had drunk some alcohol earlier, his car sped faster and faster, the sound of the Lamborghini tearing through the night audible throughout the street!
Circling around C City’s widest avenue, he drove, allowing the evening breeze to blow into the car.
Soon, he arrived at an upscale club.
People were already waiting to greet him at the club, as a waiter respectfully bowed and opened the car door for Shen Chi, ushering him inside the club.
Entering the lobby, the dazzling lights exuded an air of drunken luxury. The decor here was extremely lavish, with pure gold candlesticks placed at the entrance leading to the VIP rooms.
Shen Chi took off his coat, draped it over his arm, and went straight to the VIP room.
The moment he pushed the door open, the inside was filled with smoke and clatter, with the sound of glasses clinking everywhere.
This kind of club was always livelier at night than during the day.
“Yo, President Shen has arrived, a rare occasion indeed. President Shen, you’re usually reluctant to come to such places,” spotted Shen Chi first, a man seated in the innermost part said.
A faint sneer curled at the corner of Shen Chi’s lips as he walked in and handed his coat to the waiter.
“You’re not welcoming me?” he asked, his lips curling slightly, his sharp gaze sweeping around.
Everyone here was either a CEO or a wealthy heir, all well-versed in eating, drinking, and entertainment.
The VIP room was large, with fifty chandeliers hanging from the ceiling. The bright lights shone on the grandiose floor. Around the sides, gold powder shimmered magically under the colored lights at the corners.
When everyone saw Shen Chi walk in, they all wore expressions of surprise, yet all were respectful.
Each of them, sharp as a tack, knew Shen Chi’s status in C City.
“How could we not welcome you? It’s a great honor for President Shen to join our gathering. It’s a great favor to us, isn’t it?” a man exclaimed loudly.
No sooner had he spoken than a chorus of assent followed.
“Yes, yes, it’s a tremendous honor.”
“President Shen, you must drink with us until you can’t drink anymore tonight!”
“President Shen, what kind of drink do you like?”
Having drunk quite a bit at home already, and perhaps under the hypnotic effect of the lighting, Shen Chi indifferently said, “I heard the owner has a twenty-year-old red wine that’s pretty good.”
“President Shen has such great taste. Even though you don’t come here often, your taste is absolutely top-notch. The owner’s private wine isn’t something just anyone can drink. We’re really lucky to have Shen’s light shine upon us today.”
Soon, a young man called over the owner, and before long, a few beauties brought over two bottles of wine and custom glasses, standing before Shen Chi.
One of the beauties quickly poured him a glass of the translucent, aromatic red wine, which slid slowly down the walls of the glass like a fine ruby.
The fragrance filled the room, even overpowering the scent of cigarettes.
A beautiful Xiaomei brought the glass over to Shen Chi, and at that moment, someone started to jeer.
“How can one have fine wine without the company of a beauty? Look at you all, you’re so clueless. The beauty should feed the wine for it to be a true drinking experience, don’t you think, President Shen?”
The wine-serving beauty smiled faintly and lowered her head.
Shen Chi leaned back on the sofa, his long fingers already holding the wine glass.
He didn’t speak, but a trace of displeasure flickered in his eyes.
Someone noticed it and hastily said, “To you, Young Master Jiang, such a wine-server might be a beauty, but she surely does not catch our President
Shen’s eye.”
“That’s right, that’s right, all of you, leave!”
“In C City, who can compare to Miss Bai of the Bai Family?”
Bai Man was Shen Chi’s fiancee, and her name had long circulated in the upper social circles; almost everyone knew her.
People also knew that Bai Man was propelled to fame by Shen Chi, that she was the moonlight cradled in Shen Chi’s palm.
Therefore, no one dared to joke around with Shen Chi like that anymore.
Shen Chi didn’t look at anyone, just kept drinking the red wine in his glass. He drank one glass after another without so much as furrowing his brow.
Everyone soon got into the swing of things. With many people around, it didn’t take long for them to divide into several groups.
Some played finger-guessing games, others tossed dice, and some played cards. The VIP room was engulfed in smoke, filled with scents of perfume, cigarette smoke, and the fragrance of alcohol.
At first, Shen Chi joined them in tossing dice, but after a few rounds, he lost interest.
Afterward, he sat alone in the opulent VIP room, drinking.
“Come on, let’s continue!”
“Young Master Ye, you lost again, time for a penalty drink, a big one this time —down it in one go!”
“Xiaomei, come pour Young Master Ye a drink!”
They drank until dawn. The group was a mess—some asleep, some acting crazy from too much drink, while others continued to party…
Shen Chi got drunk.
He didn’t know how he got back to the Shen Family home, but when he woke up, his head was splitting with pain.
The glaring light shone on his face; he moved his eyelashes slightly, and soon, a servant drew the curtains in the room.
He groggily opened his eyes. At first, there were many figures before him, but when his eyes fully opened, the first person he saw was Bai Man.
“Shen Chi…” Bai Man called softly, a worried look on her face, “You’re finally awake. You drank so much last night.”
“Mm,” Shen Chi murmured tiredly, closing his eyes.
He glanced at everyone in a daze, not knowing why, but feeling empty inside.
Besides Bai Man, only Butler Ling and a few servants were there. “You all can leave; I’ll stay with the Fourth Young Master,” Bai Man told everyone.
“Sure, Miss Bai, thank you for your trouble,” Butler Ling replied respectfully, bowing and leaving Shen Chi’s room with the other servants.
Bai Man rose to wipe Shen Chi’s face with a towel, her expression full of compassion.
“You’ve been drunk for half the day. It was Young Master Jiang and the others who brought you back, ” Bai Man remarked lightly.
She was upset because last night, he had said something urgent came up and took leave of her, but then he had gone off to drink with a bunch of heirs.
Fortunately, it wasn’t a rendezvous with women, but Bai Man couldn’t help feeling uncomfortable all the same.
“I want to be alone for a bit,” Shen Chi said dully, his eyes still closed.
His brows were tightly furrowed, his head throbbing painfully.
“Mm, you rest a bit more then. But it’s already three in the afternoon. I will go make some refreshments for you.”
After speaking, Bai Man stood up, glanced at Shen Chi, who remained silent, bit her lip, and left his room to walk downstairs.
As she passed by Xu Chaomu’s room, she couldn’t help but feel uncomfortable.
Xu Chaomu’s room was separated from Shen Chi’s by just one wall, and even her visits didn’t warrant this kind of treatment.
She sighed, feeling she was overthinking it again.
When Shen Chi was brought back drunk by others, Xu Chaomu had actually seen it.
It was around 5:30 in the morning, the sky faintly brightening. Due to the matter with the necklace, Xu Chaomu was bearing a grudge, experiencing insomnia for the first time in his life..
