Chapter 9 : Narrow Path of Enemies

• Gu Tingjue never expected to have such bad luck as soon as he stepped out.
• His face instantly turned as dark as the bottom of a pot, his gaze icy cold, capable of freezing someone to death.
• This woman, she's just... she's just too despicable!
• Gu Tingjue was a person with cleanliness obsession. Seeing his clothes covered in vomit, his eyebrows furrowed tightly.
• Jian Ran immediately sobered up and quickly apologized, "I... I didn't mean to."
• Why does her voice sound so familiar?
• Gu Tingjue looked over, hmph! It's this woman again! They just met at the airport a few days ago. It's really a narrow path of enemies, encountering this woman never leads to anything good.
• Did he dig up her family's ancestral grave in his previous life? Why does every encounter with her end up in a disaster?
• The vomit on his clothes was truly disgusting!
• Jian Ran kept apologizing with her head lowered, "I'm sorry!"
• "Is an apology useful?" What an idiotic woman!
• Gu Tingjue felt like he was about to explode.
• "How about you change your clothes, and I'll help you clean them, or I'll compensate you with a new one?" Jian Ran cautiously suggested.
• "What do you think, Miss?" Gu Tingjue's voice was cold and sinister, making people feel scared.
• Jian Ran suddenly looked up. The man had sharp features, a cold expression, and his thin lips were slightly parted due to anger. She couldn't help but feel a chill.
• It's him!?
• Jian Ran lamented in her heart. This world is really small. How can they have such a fate? How can they meet again?!
• But judging from the current situation, this must be a doomed fate!
• She really wanted to cry without tears!
• "Stay away from me in the future!" Gu Tingjue warned through gritted teeth.
• After saying that, he turned around and went back to the VIP room. The most urgent matter now was to change out of these clothes and have someone bring him a new one.
• Jian Ran was stunned for a moment, then made a face.
• Hmph!
• It's as if she enjoys encountering him! She doesn't want to, okay?
• Because it was her fault in the first place, she felt guilty. In the end, she thought it over and decided to compensate him with money!
• But she was a designer herself, and just by looking at the fabric and tailoring of that outfit, she knew it was expensive!
• While she was lost in thought, her gaze also turned towards the VIP room.
• There were several people in the private room, both men and women. The men were somewhat dissolute, and the women were all glamorous.
• The man from earlier had a tall and straight figure, his back facing her as he unbuttoned his shirt.
• Ah! Don't look!
• Just as Jian Ran was about to avert her gaze, suddenly an eagle with spread wings tattoo appeared in her line of sight...
• That tattoo...
• It's him!?
• Jian Ran was instantly dumbfounded, her mind went blank, her heart racing as if it was about to leave her body.
• That night, that man also had the exact same tattoo on his back!
• Because they were so close, she could see it clearly.
• Right, his appearance is similar to Ping Ping and An An. Could it really be him?
• Is it a coincidence? Or is it really him?
• Jian Ran's mind was in chaos, standing there motionless, her expression complex!
• It's this man who disrupted her life. Over the years, she occasionally wondered what the man from that night looked like.
• But now, the culprit is inside, and she...
• Jian Ran clenched her fists tightly, wishing she could rush in and beat him up.
• Seeing her fierce and menacing appearance, the black-clad person by the door sternly reprimanded, "Miss, please leave!"
• Jian Ran paused for a moment. What is the man's identity?
• Is this black-clad person a bodyguard?
• She was a bit puzzled, then walked towards her private room.
• At this moment, a waitress passed by, and Jian Ran stopped her, casually asking, "Who are the people in that VIP room?"
• The female waitress mysteriously replied, "He, he's the dream lover of us women, and he can also be considered one of us here!"
• He's their boss, right?
• Because Gu Zong is relatively low-key and doesn't want to be disturbed, everyone knows about Haoting Group, but very few people know that he is the major shareholder of Crystal Palace Club. It's usually Mo Zong who takes care of it.
• One of them?
• They don't look like waitresses, they're dressed decently.
• And it's unlikely that he's the boss, the boss doesn't need to greet the guests.
• So there's only one possibility left, he's a gigolo here, what people call a "duck"?
• Just now, she heard Lan Lan jokingly ask if she should find a couple of "ducks" to liven up the atmosphere.
• Jian Ran was suddenly struck by lightning. Could it be that she slept with a duck back then?
• Oh my god!
• She really can't accept it!
• It makes sense though. Why does he drive luxury cars and frequent high-end clubs? As long as he pleases rich women, he can have a good life!
• Jian Ran couldn't help but take a few steps back, unable to believe that the father of her babies could be such a person.
• She had imagined his identity, but never this one.
• Jian Ran took a deep breath and returned to her private room.
• "Ran Ran, are you okay? Why did you go out for so long? I was just about to look for you." Lan Lan breathed a sigh of relief when she saw her.
• "It's... it's nothing. I was standing outside to get some fresh air. I drank too much and felt a bit dizzy. I want to go back now. You guys have fun." Jian Ran didn't have the mood to play anymore. She wanted to leave this place of trouble as soon as possible, afraid that the man would come looking for her.
• Seeing her hurried figure, Lan Lan felt puzzled.
• ...
• Gu Tingjue had already changed into clean clothes, but he still felt uncomfortable all over, as if something was amiss.
• "Brother Jue, who had the guts to vomit on you? How dare they?" Mo Qi's eyes were filled with a teasing smile.
• "Are you asking for a scolding?" Fu Zixuan glanced at Mo Qi, shaking his head helplessly. He really was audacious, daring to pick fleas off a lion's head!
• But he also admired the person who had no eyes. To actually vomit on him, it truly took courage!
• Gu Tingjue's ink-black pupils were as cold as the night. He glanced at them and his gaze was filled with a warning!
• Then he stood up and said coldly, "I'm leaving!"
• After saying that, he left in the bewildered gazes of the two.
• Gu Tingjue felt a bit inexplicable. Since being vomited on, he had been thinking about that woman, and he always felt a sense of familiarity towards her!
• This is ridiculous!
