Rebirth Of The Villainess: Young Master Lu's Wicked Wife-Chapter 555 Meeting Yun Xiang (2)
The Black Dwarves' was located in the middle of the city. It was the largest block in the entire street, and it was hard to miss it. Su Xiaofei walked with Zhang Lan, who was also wearing her disguise, and walked several blocks away from the place, leaving Zhang Ling in the car to keep watch on the recording of her conversation with Yun Xiang later.
"Don't worry, Madam. I won't leave your side." Zhang Lan whispered next to her as she opened the door of the establishment, allowing her to get in first.
As soon as she walked in, Su Xiaofei had the urge to cough. She held her breath as the stench of cigarette smoke hit her nose. Coupled with the strong scent of alcohol and old wood, she tried her best not to curl her nose in disgust and waited for Zhang Lan to lead the way.
How was she supposed to find Yun Xiang in a place like this? How did she let that man talk her into coming to this place?
Round tables were spread throughout the room while girls who were wearing skimpy dresses danced on the stage, entertaining their patrons. Some were even perched on men's lap as they giggled in hushed conversations. She and Zhang Lan tried to keep a blank face when they walked past a couple who were making out in the corner.
A woman in her late thirties obstructed their way and looked at Su Xiaofei from head to toe. Su Xiaofei only raised a slender brow and waited for the other woman to say something.
"Which one of you is a little flower?" She asked in a rude tone.
Su Xiaofei inwardly scoffed.
'Really, Yun Xiang? Can't you be more creative in giving me nicknames?' She thought.
"That would be me." She pointed to herself.
The older woman stepped forward and narrowed her eyes on Su Xiaofei, but the latter stayed still.
"Is there a problem, Madam?" Zhang Lan asked, hoping for a distraction. Su Xiaofei couldn't afford to be seen in a place like this, given her status as the president of an entertainment agency and the wife of the head of the Lu family.
"Nothing. I just thought that she looked familiar. Like that actress Bai Qingyue. You have the same face shape and eyes." The woman replied.
Su Xiaofei inwardly groaned. She had put in a lot of effort in disguising herself, going as far as putting fake freckles and mole above her lips, but this woman was still able to associate her with her birth mother?
"I'll take that as a compliment." She forced herself to smile, although she was so close to stalking out of this place already.
"Third floor, bedroom at the end of the hallway." The woman told them, before chuckling. "I have never seen that guest receive female company until today. I guess he's not into men as I thought he was."
Su Xiaofei's jaws dropped while Zhang Lan coughed behind her hand, attempting to stop the laugh that was about to escape from her lips.
"Let's keep going then." Zhang Lan told her boss, before slipping some cash into the woman's hand and whispering in her ear. "I hope the madam would be kind enough to keep our trail under the rug."
Su Xiaofei said nothing and allowed Zhang Lan to grab her wrist and leave the older woman alone. Once she recovered from her shock, she cleared her throat and Zhang Lan released her.
"Sorry. I had to do that just in case someone questions her about our presence here." She told Su Xiaofei.
"Is the cash enough to keep her mouth sealed?" Su Xiaofei asked. She didn't bring any money with her today and didn't think that they might need it.
"It should be more than enough. Now, please don't forget that we only have fifteen minutes. We cannot afford to stay longer than that." Zhang Lan replied, her eyes kept looking around for something suspicious.
When they arrived at the third floor, Su Xiaofei coughed and blinked to clear her eyesight. What the hell were these people doing here, smoking like there was no tomorrow? Aren't they afraid of dying of lung cancer or any related diseases?
Zhang Lan then knocked on the last door in the hallway, just as the other woman had instructed. A familiar voice reached Su Xiaofei's ears as the person behind the door said, "Enter."
The door opened and immediately closed as soon as the two women stepped in. A man was seated on an armchair next to the window with a book on his lap. It was Yun Xiang, but in Su Xiaofei's eyes, he looked a little different.
"I told you to come here alone." He grimaced as he glanced at Zhang Lan.
"And put my safety in jeopardy? My, dear cousin, I didn't know you wanted to ruin my reputation by inviting me to come to a place like this." Su Xiaofei snorted, which was very unladylike of her.
"Then ask her to stay outside. I don't want her to hear what I want to tell you today." He demanded.
"That's not possible, Mr. Yun. Su Xiaofei is my master's wife. It would be inappropriate to leave her alone in your company."
Yun Xiang shot her a glare, but Su Xiaofei wouldn't allow her subordinate to be bullied by him.
"Zhang Lan is merely concerned about my safety, Brother Xiang. But if you're really not comfortable having her here with us, then fine."
She also didn't want Zhang Lan to hear what Yun Xiang would say about Lu Qingfeng.
"But Madam! I can't leave you on your own." Zhang Lan exclaimed, looking at her mistress in shock. There was no way she would leave her with Yun Xiang, even if he was her cousin.
Su Xiaofei nodded at her. "I'll be fine, Zhang Lan. It's not like Brother Xiang would assault me."
Yun Xiang looked at her as if she just hit him, but he said nothing in defense.
