Chapter 167 - 67: Guo Yao Wanders into the Wrong Room, Diverting the Disaster
With that, she tilted her head back and drained the glass in one go, a bold and uninhibited gesture.
Only then did Old Five nod in satisfaction. He reached out, draping an arm over Guo Yao’s shoulder and flashing a set of yellow teeth. "Now, that’s more like it."
Guo Yao stiffened. She desperately wanted to shove his hand off, but feared getting hit again. She had no choice but to endure the discomfort and force a smile.
His hand gave her a sleazy pat. "But a proper apology requires three drinks. You’ve still got two to go!"
Guo Yao’s grip on her glass tightened. She forced another smile. "Alright. Whatever you say."
After downing two more glasses, her mind turned to mush.
"Not bad, not bad! She can really hold her liquor!"
"Her face is a wreck, sure, but with a body like that? It’s all the same with the lights off."
"You can tell someone beat her up. She’s probably not a saint herself. We should take it easy later."
As muddled as her mind was, their words still registered.
Before any of them could make a move, Guo Yao spoke up. "Hey, guys. I know I’m not much to look at, but I know someone who is. She’s in the private room right next door."
Old Five’s interest was piqued. "Oh? And just how good-looking is she?"
Guo Yao shook her head, trying to clear it.
She pulled out her phone, searched for Jiang Li’s name on Weibo, and shoved the phone in the man’s face. "See? Isn’t she gorgeous?"
She had always loathed Jiang Li’s devastatingly beautiful face, but right now, that very face she despised might just save her life.
’I couldn’t get a picture of Jiang Li on a date with her lover, but if I can get a shot of her messing around with these guys, I can still get that rich husband of hers to divorce her.’
A vicious, calculating glint flashed in Guo Yao’s eyes. A smile played on her lips. "Plus, she’s a married woman. That makes her even more... seasoned."
These men were no spring chickens themselves; they were just the right age to have a thing for married women.
"Damn, this girl’s a total knockout. No wonder they say it’s worth dying for a beautiful woman. If I could just have one night with her, I could die happy."
"Holy hell, she’s gorgeous. It would be the biggest regret of my life if I couldn’t get a piece of that!"
"A married woman, just my type! Don’t any of you try to fight me for her!"
After seeing Jiang Li’s photo and hearing she was a married woman, the men were rubbing their hands in glee, practically chomping at the bit to drag her over that very second.
Old Five stood up, a lecherous grin on his face. "You guys wait here. I’m going to go get that girl and bring her back!"
Guo Yao narrowed her eyes and sneered. "She’s with her lover. You’d better send two guys."
"Oho, she’s with her lover? That just makes it more exciting!"
Old Five waved another man over. "Old Three, come on. Let’s go together!"
Just like that, the two of them left the room and began brazenly knocking on the doors of the other private rooms, barging in.
But after searching five rooms in a row with no sign of Jiang Li, Old Five gritted his teeth. "You think that bitch lied to us?"
Old Three gestured with his chin. "There are still two more rooms, right? Let’s check them before we jump to conclusions. If they’re empty, then she’s toast."
Old Five nodded in agreement. "Good point. Besides, the boss is still in there with her. She wouldn’t dare try anything funny."
To save time, they each took a door. "Old Five, she’s in here!"
Jiang Li was still chatting with her livestream viewers when two men suddenly burst in. They looked like trouble.
Old Five’s eyes were practically glued to Jiang Li. "Hot damn, this broad is even better looking in person!"
Shen Yanzhi rose and stepped in front of Jiang Li, shielding her with his body. "What do you want?"
Old Three and Old Five advanced on them. "Not much. Just want to invite your little lover here to come party with us."
Shen Yanzhi’s face was a picture of utter confusion. "’Lover?’"
’Wait, I’m the official husband. How did I suddenly become the ’other man’ in someone else’s story?’
’Who the hell is spreading these ridiculous rumors?’
’But right now, the priority is to get rid of these two.’
There was a call button on the table for summoning the staff.
The moment Shen Yanzhi stood up, Jiang Li had already pressed the button and sent a quick text to Xue Fan.
’In a situation like this, Shen Yanzhi and Xue Fan were the only ones she could count on.’
Old Three cracked his neck. "Kid, I suggest you get out of the way. If you don’t, you won’t even know what hit you."
