Your Sister-In-Law’s Name is Xia Yanxi

Chu Muzhi's attention was on the other girls. His laser-focused attention was one of the traits that attracted girls around him. Even so, the girl who was fleeing, frightened by his own brother, was enough to draw his attention. He smiled sinisterly with a hint of lewdness. 

"I'd say, Second Brother, you really ought to learn how to read the atmosphere from time to time. That girl that you scared away… she's good looking, no??" 

Qiao Yanli had never liked this sort of establishment. The loud music and blinding lights were never to his liking. If it were not for Fu Yan and Qiu Shaoze, who he was welcoming back from overseas, he would have spent his precious time with his wife. 

However, his wife was, in actuality, giving him a surprise. 

Chu Muzhi noticed how his brother was not bothered to respond. His gaze was locked on to the lead dancer, dancing sprightly around the metal pole. Chu Muzhi's smile grew even more lewd. Without a word, he pushed a girl, dressed in an half-opaque clothing, away from him and slid next to his brother. 

"Second Brother, do you really like that lead dancer? Should I call her over?" 

Qiao Yanli's gaze finally drifted, sighing at the never-taking-things-seriously brother of his and said, "I'm married." 

Eyes widened in disbelief, Chu Muzhi laughed. His slightly slanted eyes shot to the other two men in the same booth, saying, "Big brother, Shaoze, can you believe what he just said? The man, who'd once declared he would never marry anyone besides Meng Yao, now says he is married! Hah! What kind of joke is this? Did I miss something? Is it already the first of april?"

As soon as the name Meng Yao was mentioned, the already artificially-chilled booth felt colder all of a sudden. Only then did he realize that he had touched a nerve. 

"Second Brother, Third Brother is only joking. He's not saying Sister-In-Law's name on purpose. Please don't take it out on him," the ever-so gentle Qiu Shaoze chimed in quickly. 

Qiao Yanli lowered his head and clamped a newly lit cigar in between his lips. The tip of the bud glowed more intensely as he drew in a deep breath. Everyone was then watching his every move, fearing that he would be offended and do something rash. Puffs of smoke were let out and only after some time, when the first clump of ashes had dropped from the bud of the cigar, did he speak, "Enough with the sister-in-law Meng Yao nonsense, she is no one now. Your sister-in-law's name is Xia Yanxi. Remember that." 

Everyone shared the same look of incredulity when Qiao Yanli made that declaration. Even Fu Yan, puffing out smoke like a train, turned to look at Qiao Yanli. 

The man remained as stoic as ever. The only movements he made were his hand holding the thick, deep-brown cigar in between his fingers, and pulling them away and back again into his mouth. Rings of thick smoke were released steadily, perpetually masking his enigmatic thoughts. 

Even though the club was blasting loud music, the deafening silence in the booth was too much to bear. Fu Yan broke the silence, saying, "Yanli, did Grandmother push you to get married? I might not have any authority in this matter but marriage is not for one to be played with." 

Qiao Yanli pulled the cigar out of his mouth and smiled at everyone in the booth. 

"Grandmother had little to do with this," he said before he shot to his feet. He bent over, extinguishing the newly lit cigar in the ashtray. 

"Second Brother, are you leaving?" Fu Yan asked, with concern lacing his words. 

As elegant as ever, the man paced to the exit of the booth. He turned back then and said, "I'm fetching your sister-in-law." 

Everyone who was sitting in the booth exchanged looks with each other, while some were surprised, everyone was looking at each other in disbelief. Only when the door of the booth was closed did Chu Muzhi scream to himself, "F*CK! Did he really marry that woman!?"

Amidst the crowd, Bai Wenxuan was with a client of his, sipping on drinks trying to get wasted. His client was particularly enjoying himself. He was getting all riled up to the point where he was about to get a nosebleed. 

"That woman is a piece of work! Her skin is so fair and smooth! Like porcelain! GAHHH! She's perfect! That body, that smoking hot buns of hers! UGH! It's a pity her face is behind the mask… but that red hot lips of hers! If only I could peel that mask off, I'd bet that she's definitely the prettiest girl in this club!" 

Bai Wenxuan was quiet. He cared not for the girls in this establishment as he had the best girls by his side. Xia Yanxi and Huo Shiyu were both the best girls he had ever seen. 

That being said, listening to how his client was selling the beauty of the dancer, his curiosity peaked and he had a look. 

His eyes were fixed on the main dancer, and the longer he observe, the more surprised he was.
