We’re All Friends Here

When the two women arrived, the room was already full of men drinking and being rowdy. The men were all dressed in nice suits, looking like sons from influential families.

They put down their glasses as soon as they saw the ladies, then directed their gaze straight at Ling Tianya.

Ling Tianya looked at Xin Xin with much confusion, but Xin Xin just smiled, "I forgot to tell you, I invited some friends over. Don't worry, come in!"

Xin Xin took the lead and walked in, then sat down on a seat in one corner of the room. 

Seeing that Ling Tianya didn't want to move, a man stood up with a drink in his hand and walked directly to her. He spoke in a drunken voice, "Come on in, we're all friends here!"

"All friends? I don't have self-claimed friends like this." At that point, Ling Tianya couldn't pretend not to know what was happened. It was not a coincidence that Xin Xin brought her to that place. She said it was for the two of them to catch up, but out of nowhere these men just showed up. Judging by their body language, they had been drinking for a while. The room not only stank of alcohol, it was mixed with perfume and was rancid.

It was not hard to imagine what went on there earlier.

Ling Tianya stared at Xin Xin with harsh eyes. Head lowered, Xin Xin completely ignored Ling Tianya and focus instead on drinking. She looked as if she had accomplished her goal for the day.

Ling Tianya blamed herself, she shouldn't have been so soft or had any fantasy about their old friendship. No one could resist change, when the incentive behind the change was big enough…

She inched back slowly, hoping to disappear from the room without anyone noticing, but the man in front of realized her intention and shut the door behind her. He also grabbed her by the wrist, trying to stop her from leaving.

"You are here now, how can you leave without satisfying us boys?"

The man spoke with such shallowness. The rank breath he sprayed over Ling Tianya's face made her stomach turn.

"I'm sorry, I think you're mistaken. I am not…"

"Save the BS, just drink!" The man pushed a glass against Ling Tianya's lips.

Ling Tianya turned her head and raised a hand to block it. Alcohol was spilled on the man's dress shirt.

The man yelled out, "What the hell! Are you asking for trouble?"

The sudden change in the man's attitude made Xin Xin slightly nervous. She looked over at the confrontation. The men in the room were like firebrands that Xin Xin couldn't mess with. She was worried that if Ling Tianya pissed them off, she would be punished too. Her life was worth more than the money Ling Yuqing gave her…

"Aww, don't be so short-tempered, Kang Shao. You should treat the lady with tenderness, especially a quality beauty like this!" said another man jokingly. The way he looked at Ling Tianya was too full of evil.

Kang Shao put on a repugnant smile and got up close again. He squeezed Ling Tianya's wrist even tighter and said, "To tell you the truth, we were asked by someone to take care of you today. Don't even think about leaving. You can make us mad and then get punished, or you can be a good girl and maybe we'll be gentle with you."

Ling Tianya struggled to get away but was unsuccessful. Her eyes turned icy cold, "Do you not know who I am?"

"Who? Hahaha!" Kang Shao laughed devilishly, which made the other men in the room follow suit and start laughing.

Ling Tianya was concerned. The men turned out to be a bunch of wealthy assholes who cared about nothing but drinking, women, and causing havoc. Ling Tianya just came back to the mainland not too long ago, so it was possible that they really had no idea who she was.

"If so, that could be a problem!" She thought

The only reason for Xin Xin to trick her there was to ruin her reputation. Ling Tianya knew exactly who was behind this plot.

"What are you waiting for? Come take care of us here!"

The man tried to pin Ling Tianya forcibly down onto the couch that was soaked in unknown liquid and filth.

Right at that moment, Bang! The door was kicked open.
