Joyce Wu has a carefree personality. She looked preoccupied just now, but after a few drinks, she started singing with great enthusiasm again.
Serena Li sang “A Little Happiness” with her, she heard her phone ring. She took it out and heard that it was the grade leader’s number, so she went out of the private room to answer the call.
The signal in the corridor outside the private room wasn’t very good, so Serena Li hung up the phone and went to the terrace at the end of the corridor to call back.
After finishing her call with her team leader, she looked up and saw a couple whispering intimately above her head; she hadn’t noticed while on the phone.
The light was dim, but the man’s face was still clearly visible; it was the “brother-in-law” that Joyce Wu had just complained about in the private room.
Although the woman was nestled against Jack Jiang , obscuring her face, her petite and affectionate demeanor strongly suggested that she was not Joyce Wu ‘s cousin, Sophia Su .
Serena Li didn’t want to stay any longer and was about to turn and leave when Jack Jiang saw her and called her back.
“ Serena , are you coming over with Joyce ?” Jack Jiang patted the woman on the shoulder, gesturing for her to leave first.
“Hmm.” Serena Li could roughly guess his intention, so she didn’t say anything more.
“I happen to need to speak with Joyce . Which room are you in?” Jack Jiang asked haughtily.
Just then, her phone rang. She glanced at the caller ID: ” Joyce Wu .” Jack Jiang also saw the caller ID. Before Serena Li could answer, Jack Jiang snatched the phone from her hand and yelled, ” Joyce Wu , you fucking tell me where Sophia Su is right now?… Tell her, divorce? No way!… Tell her to come home right now!”
Serena Li rolled her eyes at this man who cheated and thought he was right , reached out to snatch her phone back, and said, “Give me back my phone!”
But for some reason , Jack Jiang, in a fit of anger, slammed his phone against the wall.
After a loud “smack,” Serena Li was also dumbfounded.
Just as they were about to say something, the sound of a lighter clicking reached their ears, followed by the smell of cigarettes swirling in the air. This noise brought Serena Li and Jack Jiang back to their senses, and then they saw someone coming out of the VIP room by the terrace with a cigarette in their mouth.
The man wore a pure black shirt and light gray trousers. The well-fitting cut and understated color scheme made him appear tall and composed. The casually rolled-up sleeves and open collar perfectly showcased his temperament and taste, exuding the charm of a mature man in every gesture.
With one hand in his pocket and a cigarette between his fingers, he strode slowly toward them with his long, straight, and powerful legs.
Jack Jiang paused for a moment, then greeted the man with a beaming smile.
“Mr. Mo…”
His tone was now completely respectful, a stark contrast to his previous arrogant and overbearing manner.
The man’s demeanor and attire suggested a wealthy and comfortable life, and with Jack Jiang’s obsequious manner, Serena Li felt that this man must have status and influence in Pengcheng’s business circle.
Jack Jiang chuckled and made conversation.
“Mr. Mo, what are you doing here?”
Jack Jiang finished speaking, the man let out a clear, unvarnished sneer. Then, the man pointed to the door of the private room with the finger holding his cigarette, and smiled at Jack Jiang , “What does Mr. Jiang think I’m doing in a place like this? Did you come here just to watch Mr. Jiang smash a woman’s phone?”
These words left Jack Jiang utterly humiliated, his face contorted with a mixture of ashen and utterly embarrassed.
The man’s words indicated that he had overheard the entire conversation between Jack Jiang and Serena Li , which only made him feel more embarrassed. He couldn’t respond to the man’s words and could only smile awkwardly.
The man ignored Jack Jiang , glanced at Serena Li beside him , and then strode down the stairs.
