Chen Rong thought that Ouyang Hao would take her to visit some local sights, go shopping, or eat something nice. However, Ouyang Hao called up a bunch of his childhood friends in the capital and finally took her to a private club in the suburbs.
Judging from the décor, the club was obviously of high standards, with complete facilities including a golf course, tennis courts, hot spring pools, and even a bowling alley. The place where Ouyang Hao arranged to meet his friends was the bowling alley in the basement.
By the time they arrived, a few of Ouyang Hao’s friends were already there. Each of them was a wealthy second-generation heir, interested in making money through business, and their second favorite hobby was playing with women.
They were all accompanied by beautiful women, each heavily made up, with hot bodies and snake-like waists. Some were unabashed and, regardless of others present, flirted openly with their female companions in front of everyone.
Chen Rong, who was born and raised in a respectable family and later lived abroad, had attended many foreign parties while being well-educated and well-mannered since childhood. Seeing this scene, she instantly felt out of place.
"Hao, who’s this by your side? Aren’t you going to introduce us?" asked his friend Ding Peng.
"She’s my childhood neighbor’s little sister, Chen Rong."
"Oh, so she’s the neighbor’s little sister. How come you’re so lucky, always having sisters around?" another friend laughed, greeting Chen Rong, "I’m Wang Xun, Hao’s kindergarten classmate." This text is hosted at novęlfire.net
"Hello!" Despite finding Wang Xun a bit greasy, Chen Rong still greeted him politely.
After some introductions, the group got down to business. Wang Xun rubbed his hands together, glaring at Ouyang Hao, "Hao, you were too harsh last time, taking my car. This time, I’ll make sure you pay it back with interest."
"Bring it on, I’ll accompany you till the end," Ouyang Hao grinned.
The men left their female companions to play their game, while the women had their own things to do.
"I like your lipstick color, what brand is it?"
"Yves Saint Laurent, the famous shade, and it’s not even expensive, just a few hundred bucks."
"That cheap? What shade is it?"
...
The female companions chatted about their lipstick colors, where they bought their clothes, and what brands they were. Even if they weren’t very familiar with each other, they grew closer because of their common topics.
But Chen Rong was different. Her sense of superiority as a well-educated lady made her disdain to mingle with these vain women. Ouyang Hao left her aside, unable to blend in with the other women. She felt out of place, but her upbringing wouldn’t allow her to leave halfway.
Thus, she stood there uncomfortably and stiffly, feeling awkward and uneasy, as if every minute passed like a year.
After who knows how long, the men’s activities finally ended. Just as Wang Xun said, this time Ouyang Hao lost everything. Not only did he lose a Hummer, but also a small apartment in the city center. Yet, he seemed surprisingly cheerful.
He glanced toward Chen Rong, who was not far away, raised his thick eyebrows slightly, and walked slowly toward her, "What, not used to it?"
"No, it’s pretty fun," Chen Rong lied.
"Fun, is it?" Ouyang Hao squinted and then suddenly put his arm around Chen Rong’s shoulders, "Come, I’ll take you to somewhere more fun."
