บท 18: 018 Getting Beaten Up
บรรณาธิการ: Dragon Boat Translation
When she took a cab to the bar owned by Qin Xian, the sky was already completely dark. Qin Xuan's bar stood out in the dimly lit street, with colorful lights illuminating the bar's sign, which read: "After Hours Bar".
Xia Jin got out of the car and walked into the bar quickly.
After passing through a long corridor filled with art graffiti, the noise became more pronounced and the lights in the lobby began to brighten up.
The bar was exquisitely designed, and every part of it displayed the distinctive taste of the lady boss. The bar counter was in front of a wall stacked with wine bottles, and in front of it was a huge dance floor. There was a DJ playing a disc on the stage in front of the dance floor, and countless men and women were dancing passionately to the dynamic melodies.
Xia Jin was just a usually regular office worker who does not come to places like this often, and she felt a bit out of place at this moment.
She walked up to the bar counter and called out to the man who was mixing drinks. She asked loudly, "Where's Qin Xuan?"
The man looked at her suspiciously. "Who are you?"
He was probably worried that she was here to cause trouble.
Xia Jin took out her phone and showed the man Qin Xuan's business card on her WeChat friend list. "I'm her friend."
The man's doubts were dispelled, and he pointed upstairs.
After Xia Jin entered the bar, she did not see anyone who was causing a fuss. She was a little suspicious. Was Qin Xuan actually okay?
She went upstairs quickly, and before she could take two steps, she saw Qin Xuan, who had wavy curls and was in a tight skirt.
Qin Xuan was holding a cigarette in her hand. Her body was a little shaky. It seemed that she had been drinking.
When she saw Xia Jin, Qin Xuan thought that she was hallucinating from drinking too much.
It was not until Xia Jin walked up to support her that she came back to her senses. "Why are you here?"
Xia Jin said speechlessly, "Didn't you call me? There were also sounds of things being broken and people cursing on the phone, so I thought something on your end."
"Oh." Qin Xuan patted her head. "There were indeed some brats causing a commotion just now, but they've already been kicked out. I was going to call my boyfriend at that moment, but it seems that I dialed wrongly the first time. I didn't expect to call you."
"Boyfriend?" Xia Jin was a little surprised. "Which one?"
Unlike Xia Jin, who had only slept with Huo Jue for the past five years, Qin Xuan's boyfriends would change almost every few months. Sometimes, she would even flirt with several men at the same time.
Qin Xuan pouted and glared at Xia Jin coquettishly. "Look at what you're saying!" She paused for a moment, and a hint of shyness appeared in her eyes. "This one's really handsome."
"You wouldn't have bothered with him if he wasn't handsome." Xia Jin rolled her eyes speechlessly.
"I've to go down for a bit. You…" Qin Xuan looked around and pointed towards a room. "Wait for me there."
After Qin Xuan left, Xia Jin pushed open the door of the room and smelled the strong scent of perfume as soon as she entered.
This should be Qin Xuan's office.
Xia Jin then sat down and waited for her.
About half an hour or so later, Xia Jin was getting a little sleepy from waiting. Suddenly, there was a rattling sound coming from outside the door.
Before Xia Jin could open the door, the door was kicked open. The door shuddered and hit the white wall behind the door with a loud 'clang'.
Several people rushed in from the outside. Before Xia Jin could react to who they were, she saw a gorgeously dressed young woman walking up to her and giving her a hard slap!
"You b*tch, how dare you try to seduce my husband!" The woman showed no mercy. Her sharp nails scratched Xia Jin's face, and Xia Jin only felt a burning pain on her skin.
The woman slapped her twice, but she did not seem to be satisfied. Seeing that there was a glass of red wine on the table next to her, she grabbed it and poured it all over Xia Jin's Head!
The strong smell of wine rushed into her nostrils, and the liquid flowed from the top of her head onto her face. Xia Jin closed her eyes subconsciously.
Seeing that the woman was about to hit her again, Xia Jin dodged out of the way and then reached out to wipe off the wine on her face.
She was in an extremely miserable state at this moment. Not only were there two red and swollen marks on her face, but the red wine had also soaked her hair and left deep marks on her coat.
A hint of hatred flashed in Xia Jin's eyes. She raised her head and stared coldly at the woman who had done this to her.
Although Xia Jin had been used to enduring all these years, it did not mean that she could be bullied so easily!
She grabbed a stone sculpture from a nearby shelf. Just as she was about to smash it hard on the woman to vent her anger, an anxious voice rang out, "Rourou, what are you doing?!"
The man who rushed in was dressed in casual clothes, but his aura was extraordinary. It was obvious that he was not from an ordinary family.
Xia Jin hid the stone sculpture in her hand behind her back subconsciously.
Then, Qin Xuan also rushed in. When she saw Xia Jin's current appearance, she became anxious immediately. "Xiao Jin, are you okay?"
Xia Jin was about to answer her when her pupils contracted violently.
Two more people had appeared behind the man in casual clothes. One of them was actually Huo Jue!
Xia Jin averted her gaze quickly when her gaze met Huo Jue's. Her heart suddenly tightened.
