Because those eight stunningly beautiful women, who had captivated even him, had actually gone over to Lu Chen's side. And the intimacy they displayed was absolutely extraordinary.
"Brother Chen, hi! It feels like ages since we last met, you seem even more handsome than before!"
Nie Rong said, even reaching out her slender hand to touch Lu Chen's face.
This touch made Lu Chen a little embarrassed, yet his heart fluttered.
Nie Rong's hand was so soft and smooth, carrying a captivating fragrance that was both pleasant and subtly arousing.
He quickly asked the owner to bring chairs so that all eight beauties could sit down.
Nie Rong introduced them earnestly, "Brother Chen, this is Qianrong, this is Tiantian, this is Yu'er... Hey, everyone, come and greet Brother Chen! You all know what Sister Jiangyu told you to do!"
So, Qianrong, Tiantian, and Yu'er all stood up, mimicking the mannerisms of ancient maids, giving Lu Chen a deep curtsy, and sweetly but shyly calling out in unison, "Hello, Brother Chen!"
Then, they giggled sweetly.
Clearly, they knew everything Yang Jiangyu had told them to do.
Lu Chen was a little embarrassed. Although he was very attracted to these beauties and understood that they could all be his if he wanted, having too many beauties wasn't a good thing; he still had to share them with his brothers.
He also introduced Jin Ziliang and Gong Jiu. He didn't elaborate on Jin Ziliang's identity, as his status was prominent and couldn't be revealed casually. He simply said that both of them were soldiers, and very kind people. For example, Gong Jiu's legs were broken while fighting bad guys, and he was currently healing and would be able to stand up soon.
This conversation was starting to sound like a blind date.
Both Kaneko Ryo and Miya Hisashi were actually quite good-looking, with Miya Hisashi being even more handsome. Although he looked a bit weathered sitting in a wheelchair, Lu Chen's comment made him quite admirable and endearing.
As for Kaneko Ryo, while he wasn't as handsome as Miya Hisashi, his imposing and authoritative aura, befitting his high position, made the girls feel particularly safe.
Nie Rong asked sweetly, "Brother Chen, are you really here to set us up on blind dates?"
Lu Chen chuckled, "Everyone, see if there's anyone you click with! If you do, you can chat first. If you're really willing to be together, I'll talk to your Sister Jiangyu!"
Nie Rong was the first to speak up. She hugged Lu Chen's arm, her soft breasts pressing against his shoulder without hesitation. She said, "Anyway, I choose Brother Chen! Sisters, whichever guy you like, rush over and knock him out, then take him home!"
Instantly, the beauties burst into laughter, making Jin Ziliang and Gong Jiu somewhat dizzy with admiration.
Then, Lu Chen had the shopkeeper bring out a case of Luzhou Laojiao liquor. After opening the bottles, both men and women drank from beer glasses. The mermaids were indeed impressive; they drank the liquor like it was water.
Don't even mention Lu Chen; even Gong Jiu and Jin Ziliang, both from the military, are known for their drinking prowess. Yet, seeing the charm and boldness of these eight beauties, they were all dumbfounded!
Jin Ziliang clapped his hands: "Great! I like girls who can drink! After we get married, I won't be lonely anymore; my wife will drink with me!"
One of the girls chuckled: "Be careful, your wife might get you drunk!"
Nie Rong pointed at her and said, "Brother Liang, Li Xiaozhi is the biggest drinker here. If you can outdrink her, Li Xiaozhi, you can come back with Brother Liang and be his wife!"
"Okay!" Li Xiaozhi filled both Jin Ziliang's and her own glasses, then raised her glass to him: "Brother Liang, drink! If you can't outdrink me, come to my house and do my laundry!"
"No problem, if I can't outdrink you, I'll do your laundry! If you can't outdrink me, you do my laundry!" Jin Ziliang shouted.
Then, both of them downed their drinks in one gulp.
Lu Chen sighed, "Tsk tsk! Daring to ask Master Jin to do your laundry, this Brother Liang is quite the conscientious one. Looks like they're at least a couple now!"
He turned to look at Gong Jiu. Although Gong Jiu was drinking and laughing, there was still a hint of loneliness and pain in his eyes. The beauties around him were clearly better than Su Qing, but he still kept stealing glances at his ex-girlfriend.
Two more lively girls teased Gong Jiu, flicking his ear and forcing him to drink. Although he downed his drink, the sorrow on his face remained.
Lu Chen sighed again, finally understanding what it meant to have seen the ocean and found other waters insignificant, or to have beheld the clouds of Wushan and found other clouds pale in comparison.
Meanwhile, on Xin Zhida's side, everyone was in a foul mood.
Everyone had a gloomy face.
Compared to the eight beauties, even Su Qing paled in comparison; these beer beauties seemed rather ordinary.
Xin Zhida was the one with the most black lines on his face. Hearing the beer girls relentlessly pushing their beer sales, urging everyone to drink more and more, he got furious. He shoved Su Qing aside and yelled, "Are you done yet? Get out of here!"
The women were instantly terrified.
The bald-headed A Dao shouted, "Didn't you hear me? Get out! Get out of the way!"
The beer girls quickly got up and ran away, feeling a huge sense of relief. Su Qing, on the other hand, also wanted to leave, but unlike the beer girls, she wasn't lucky enough. She could only sit to the side, trembling.
Turning her head slightly, she saw two girls much prettier than herself flirting with her ex-boyfriend, and a mix of emotions welled up inside her.
Bald Ah Dao glared menacingly in that direction, then chuckled, "Mr. Xin, I reckon those girls are from some nightclub they hired. How about I go over and get them to keep you company? It's just a few bucks! I don't believe they'd dare refuse!"
Actually, Xin Zhida didn't quite believe those eight beauties worked at any nightclub. Although they were dressed provocatively, their demeanor and bearing didn't suggest nightclub hostesses; they were just a group of fashionably dressed young women. Plus, they were driving cars. Those small SUVs suitable for young women cost at least 140,000 to 150,000 yuan each.
What nightclub hostesses would own cars? And three of them at that?
The least believable thing was that the three men, aside from their imposing presence, were dressed very plainly. To hire eight nightclub hostesses at once, and if they were, they would be top-tier. Could they afford to hire so many top-tier girls without spending at least 100,000 to 200,000 yuan? Did they have the money?
However, Xin Zhida nodded. He couldn't stand it anymore. Just moments ago, three losers were drinking, and now eight stunning beauties were accompanying them—it made him feel incredibly embarrassed.
So, Bald A-Dao, along with his bodyguards, all jumped up and swaggered over.
The other diners sensed danger and quickly retreated.
Gong Jiu said in a deep voice, "They're here."
Jin Ziliang nonchalantly tossed a peanut into his mouth and said casually, "Perfect timing!"
Nie Rong's eyes widened: "What's going on? Thugs seeking revenge?"
Her tone was surprised, but not afraid.
Then, the other beauties cheered:
"Want to fight?"
"Great! We get drinks and a fight!"
"There aren't enough people, not enough for all the sisters!"
...
One beauty even shouted that she wanted to fight two. This beautiful woman was none other than Li Xiaozhi, the one Jin Ziliang had taken a liking to.
This time, Jin Ziliang was no longer calm. He asked in surprise, "You guys still dare to fight?"
"Why wouldn't we?" Li Xiaozhi said proudly, "I've practiced martial arts for over ten years, isn't it all for fighting?"
Instantly, Jin Ziliang and Lu Chen exchanged a glance, both seeing the wry smile on each other's faces.
Lu Chen only knew that Nie Rong and the others were dancers, but he hadn't expected them to be martial artists. However, judging from their postures, they were even more flexible than the average female dancer; it would be difficult to achieve this without martial arts training.
Originally, in ancient China, martial arts and dance were twins. While imitating the movements of various ferocious birds and beasts in dance, the ancients also imitated their movements to practice martial arts and attack techniques.
It could be said that martial arts was an upgraded version of dance.
At this moment, Bald A Dao and the others had already walked up to them.
A-Dao glared menacingly at Lu Chen and the others, then grinned, "Ladies, how much are you paying these guys? We'll double! Come on, let's go over there!"
"How much?" Nie Rong knew the answer, but feigned ignorance, "What do you mean?"
One of A-Dao's henchmen chuckled, "Ladies, don't pretend. Which nightclub are you from? Which madam brought you here? Hehe, there are hundreds of nightclubs big and small in Yunzhou City, and I've never seen anyone as beautiful as you! Well, our Boss Xin invites you. Boss Xin is a big real estate developer in Yunzhou City. Go and keep you company; you definitely won't be shortchanged!"
"That's right!" another henchman said, "Guaranteed to be better than keeping these three bastards company!"
Bastards?
Jin Ziliang's face hardened.
Damn it, this guy is definitely asking for it!
"Oh! I see!" Nie Rong stood up, her voice soft and fleshy. "Gentlemen, how much would you offer us? If it's a good price, we'll go! Sisters, right?"
The girls cheered, all agreeing. Their melodious chatter sent shivers down the spines of not only the thugs but even Bald Dao felt a chill run down his spine. He laughed, "As for the price, I already said, whatever these guys ask for, we'll double!"
Nie Rong giggled, "That's a problem. We're accompanying them for free, so we can't double!"
"What? Free?" Another thug was stunned, his jealousy flaring. "Damn, are you guys stupid?"
Indeed, they were a bit stupid. Eight stunning beauties, why would they accompany three greenhorns for free?
"NoNoNo?!?" Nie Rong waved her finger, smiling obsequiously, and said, "We're not stupid, so if you want us to keep you company, fine, eight girls, you just need to come up with eight million! We'll keep you company for ten minutes, how about it?"
Eight million, for ten minutes?
"Damn it!" Bald A Dao roared, "Are you playing with people?"
"Playing with people? You're not even worthy of licking my toes, what are you playing with?" Nie Rong said, suddenly picking up a glass of white wine from the table and splashing it violently on Bald A Dao's face.
