Chapter 1073: Chapter 1062: Setting Up a Grand Scene
After hearing Wang Chao’s bold declaration, the initially anxious crowd, who thought the plan might not work and Ning Fan might not fall for it, suddenly became spirited.
“As expected of Brother Chao, your gestures are grand indeed. Don’t worry, this time I’ll absolutely make sure we can handle the situation.”
Luo Hui gave a confident smile and said lightly, “With my deep martial prowess honed over more than a dozen years of drinking culture, maybe I won’t even give others a chance to show off, I’ll take him down myself!”
The young woman, whom Wang Chao called Xiao Qing and whose real name is Liu Qing, was previously the one who looked down on Ning Fan before leaving the Star Hotel.
Upon hearing Luo Hui’s boastful words, Liu Qing offered a seductive smile and said, “Wang Chao, your idea is great. Zhao Xue’er’s brother looks like someone who’s frightened of poverty, unable to replace clothes even with holes in them. When we bring out the money later, his eyes will probably turn green.”
“Hearing Liu Qing say this, I suddenly feel a bit overwhelmed. If that kid decides to fight me to the death, I might honestly not outdrink him.”
After hearing Liu Qing’s words, Luo Hui pretended to be troubled, scratching his head and showing an awkward expression.
“Haha, don’t worry, if you fall, there’s still us. To battle him alone is already a favor for Brother Chao. Otherwise, what qualifications does that kid have to drink with us?”
“Exactly, exactly.”
The group settled their plan, laughing loudly, full of insults directed at Ning Fan.
“Alright, let’s get in the car. Later, everyone, don’t get too carried away and let Xue’er notice the flaws and persuade us against it, that wouldn’t be fun.”
Wang Chao curled his lips into a cold smile, signaling the group to stay calm.
After getting into the Maserati’s driver’s seat, Wang Chao looked at the people outside the window and asked with a smile, “Who’s coming with me?”
“Me, me, me, I didn’t drive here, my car is at the company.”
Upon hearing Wang Chao’s words, Cao Qianqian immediately raised her hand.
Although everyone was envious of the Maserati’s style, they stopped competing as Cao Qianqian took the lead and headed to their respective cars.
On the speeding Maserati, Wang Chao pressed down the windows on both sides, letting the whistling wind blow his meticulously styled hair into disarray.
Looking ahead, thinking of Ning Fan’s impending embarrassment, Wang Chao felt good, humming a tune.
“Brother Chao… do you still like Zhao Xue’er?”
Sitting in the passenger seat, clutching the seatbelt, appearing a bit nervous, Cao Qianqian suddenly asked.
“Hmm?”
Wang Chao glanced sideways at Cao Qianqian and laughed, “Why ask this?”
Only to hear Cao Qianqian sigh.
“I know, even if you don’t say it, everyone can see it. Including today’s class reunion, and the upcoming KTV activities, even including messing with her brother, it’s all because of Zhao Xue’er, right?”
Jealousy and resentment flashed in Cao Qianqian’s eyes, but she quickly calmed them, sighing, “Honestly, I truly feel it’s not worth it for you. Zhao Xue’er doesn’t appreciate it. Back since school, she always maintained an aloof demeanor.”
Saying this, Cao Qianqian snorted disdainfully and continued, “And look now, isn’t she selling drinks at a nightclub? I thought she was so lofty, really untouched by worldly desires.”
“Haha, liking Xue’er during school days was merely youthful recklessness.”
Wang Chao stepped on the accelerator, watching the speedometer rapidly climb to 180, he smiled and said, “As for now, I indeed still have some lingering feelings. If I were to say why, mostly it’s because I’m a bit unwilling to give up.”
“Wanting what you can’t have, I get it.”
Cao Qianqian pursed her lips, picking up the conversation, then suddenly said, “You never got me either, is there not even a tiny bit of regret?”
“Hmm?”
Wang Chao turned his gaze toward Cao Qianqian, looking directly at her, eyes burning intensely.
…
Outside Junyu KTV.
Wang Chao parked the car and watched Cao Qianqian carefully wipe her face with a tissue, chuckling, “How do you feel?”
“Brother Chao, you’re so bad, not giving me any warning; it’s sprayed everywhere, the smell is terrible. If later classmates find out, I’d be embarrassed to face them.”
“If someone really finds out, just say you accidentally spilled milk on your hair earlier.”
Wang Chao lifted Cao Qianqian’s chin, laughingly.
Cao Qianqian rolled her eyes at Wang Chao, irritably swatted his hand away, and continued to carefully wipe the stains off her face and hair.
During their idle chatter, Luo Hui and others arrived at Junyu KTV’s door one after another.
After about ten minutes, a Dongfeng Citroën taxi stopped from afar, and Ning Fan and Zhao Xue’er came over side by side.
“Xue’er, had I known, I’d have let you ride with me. Instead, you had to suffer in a taxi, truly unfortunate.”
Liu Qing feigned surprise looking at Zhao Xue’er getting out of the taxi, pretending to show concern.
“It’s okay, taking a taxi is good too, got Ning Fan brother with me.”
Zhao Xue’er, seemingly not catching the condescension in Liu Qing’s words, smiled sweetly and glanced at Ning Fan’s side profile.
“Young Master Wang!”
As the group moved toward Junyu KTV’s entrance, a slightly chubby middle-aged man wearing black-framed glasses greeted Wang Chao warmly.
“Young Master Wang, please come inside. The private booth is ready as per your order, Supreme 888!”
“Thank you, Manager Cao.”
Wang Chao smiled and nodded to the KTV manager, taking out his wallet, shook out a stack of red bills, and handed it to Manager Cao, saying softly, “A little token, no formalities.”
“Oh my, Young Master Wang, you’re too kind. Serving you is my honor!”
Manager Cao’s face, already beaming with joy, grinned even wider upon seeing the stack of red bills, almost obscuring his eyes.
