Chapter 17: Chapter 017: Young Master Chu
Eight o'clock in the evening!
In the neon-lit bar, amid the furious music that abruptly hushed, among the frenetic shouting of hundreds, three young girls – each demure, fiery, or innocent – quietly stepped onto the stage.
The rainbow lights shone on the faces of the three beautiful girls, and when the quiet girl in the center suddenly strummed her guitar, a crisp sound resonated, and the entire bar instantly boiled with excitement.
The next moment, the girl with the ponytail and exposed snow-white neck softly parted her red lips and suddenly, a voice like a heavenly chorus echoed throughout the entire bar!
"...
Waves silently drown the night
Spreading over the corners of the sky's end
Big fish swim through the cracks of dreams
Gazing at your sleeping silhouette
...!"
It was indeed that same distinctive flavor!
Chu Mo drained the juice in front of him in one go and closed his eyes slightly. The reason he frequented this bar every so often was precisely to listen to the heavenly sound on stage.
Of course, it was not purely for ogling pretty girls; while enjoying the songs, the three youthful girls on stage also provided Chu Mo with a lot of inspiration.
Up to now, Chu Mo had written more than a dozen articles about music and pursuing dreams, based on the three girls on stage.
Even now, coming here every weekend had become a habit for Chu Mo.
Just as Chu Mo listened intently, his phone in his pocket suddenly vibrated. Curiously taking out his phone, he saw a message of concern from Linda.
"Mr. Chu, are you getting used to wearing the Patek Philippe these past few days? If it's uncomfortable, Linda can provide any service for you!"
It was still that employee from Patek Philippe with the 90% beauty score. When she sent her regards the night before, Chu Mo had lost interest in chatting with her, considering she probably dealt with many wealthy clients, and he did not reply afterward.
Unexpectedly, she sent a message again after a day!
Linda, with her 90% beauty score, indeed held a fatal attraction for Chu Mo. However, there was a hurdle in his heart that made Chu Mo stand his ground.
It was his first time, so he definitely wanted to find a girl who was also having her first time. Only then would his life be without any regrets!
He had thought about deleting her from his contacts, but after hesitating for a moment, considering he might indeed need her help with after-sales service if there was an issue with the Patek Philippe, he ultimately just set her number to do not disturb.
By the time Chu Mo put his phone away, he didn't know when a very fashionable woman had taken a seat next to him!
"Sir, it seems your bottle of wine might be fake?!"
Her slightly chilly voice caused Chu Mo to be momentarily stunned. A fake 200,000 yuan bottle of wine?
Does this bar not want to stay in business?
"May I sit down?"
Chu Mo nodded when the woman spoke again, her eyes holding a slight chill.
The bottle had been there for over an hour, and Chu Mo never intended to drink it. However, even if he decided to pour it out himself, that would be his business. But the fact that the bar dared to sell him fake wine worth 200,000 yuan rubs him the wrong way!
"Are you sure it's fake?"
Chu Mo had no expertise in wine and couldn't tell real from fake, but he originally thought this bar was the largest and busiest on the whole street and wouldn't scam customers with fake wine, so it hadn't crossed his mind at first!
If this bottle were indeed fake, Chu Mo indicated that it would really irritate him.
A wealthy godlike tycoon who doesn't lack money, if he really set his sights on a bar for revenge, no matter what kind of backing the bar has, the outcome would definitely not be pleasant!
"Not very sure, haven't tasted it!"
Her cool voice sounded again, and only now did Chu Mo seriously take in the woman beside him for the first time.
About 27 or 28 years old, with a face small as a palm, exquisite features, and the pair of slightly cold, clear eyes adding an aire of unapproachability.
Standing at 1.7 meters tall, she wore a light purple midi dress and blue high-heeled shoes, her cute little toes painted a dazzling red, exposing a section of her fair, delicate, and evenly toned calves.
She was a ravishing beauty that could make an average man feel inferior!
Having been around Yang Xuan with her 95% beauty score for two years, and after encountering Ling Yue and Zhan Bingxue, a few other quite beautiful women these last couple of days, Chu Mo had developed some resistance to beauty.
A cursory glance was all he permitted himself before quickly looking away, and with a casual wave of his hand, Chu Mo suggested:
"If you don't mind, give it a try!"
Chu Mo was about to ask the waiter for another glass when, unexpectedly, the elegant woman beside him had already picked up the wine glass from the table and lightly sniffed at it.
Chu Mo opened his mouth, intending to remind her that he had already drunk from that glass, but upon seeing those luscious red lips, he ultimately didn't say a word.
After she closed her eyes and gently tasted the drink, Chu Mo couldn't help but become slightly lost in thought.
Does this count as an indirect kiss?
"It seems I was mistaken, it tastes quite pure!"
The woman who had taken a small sip savored it for a moment before saying faintly to Chu Mo,
"It's not fake." This calmed the dissatisfaction in Chu Mo's heart instantly.
However, when he turned his focus back to the woman in front of him, Chu Mo was unsure again. Could this woman, with her commanding presence and stunning cold beauty, just be pretending in order to have a drink?
Or, in her eyes, had he, who casually opened wines worth hundreds of thousands, become an easy mark?
Could a woman with such a formidable aura be so intent on getting close to him just for a sip of liquor?
Chu Mo hesitated, and at that moment, on stage, a hot girl dressed in black stockings, a miniskirt, and a tank top, with long hair draping over her shoulders, had already belted out:
"...
Watching you fly far away
Watching you leave me behind
You were born to belong to the horizon
Every tear flows towards you
Reversing back to our first meeting
...!"
The patrons in the bar listened quietly, each of them looking utterly captivated.
"My name is Bai Lu! How should I address you?"
The cool voice pulled Chu Mo's gaze back from the stage, looking at the woman in front of him who was taking delicate sips of wine, he said faintly,
"Chu, as in the Chu of the Milky Way."
"Don't you feel lonely, Mr. Chu, coming here alone? It's such a waste to just let this fine wine sit here! My two best friends are right over there, and they're both very eager to get to know Mr. Chu!"
As her words finished, the woman named Bai Lu suddenly raised her glass, and immediately, two beauties in a booth not far away toasted in response.
Moments later, two hot girls in booty shorts and miniskirts stood up and walked towards this area.
When Chu Mo frowned slightly, the elegant Bai Lu casually said:
"Xiao Ya and Xiao Mo are students from the nearby music conservatory, one a junior and one a sophomore. They are the beauty queens of their departments. Mr. Chu can have a good chat with them later!"
Seeing the two curvaceous girls had already approached, Chu Mo said no more.
The girls were not shy and sat down next to Chu Mo, the one with big wavy hair, slightly bleached at the ends, said with a smile,
"Is it boring to drink alone, boss? Wouldn't you let Xiao Mo keep you company for a drink?"
The voice was somewhat coquettish, but not annoying; of course, most importantly, her striking 85-point beauty indeed elicited a sense of endearment.
At that moment, Bai Shuang, sitting beside him, suddenly waved over a server, and the woman with the cool aura ordered,
"Bring two bottles of Ace of Spades to bring Chu Mo some cheer; these two are on me!"
After the server left respectfully, another girl with a goddess vibe immediately exclaimed with joy,
"Boss Bai is so domineering!"
Boss Bai?
Taking a glance at the striking woman named Bai Lu opposite him, Chu Mo felt he understood something in that moment.
"Mr. Chu, you're really too low-profile. I've seen you in the bar several times before, always sitting quietly alone in a corner. We didn't dare to disturb you. By the way, Mr. Chu, what do you do...?"
The girl in front named Xiao Mo casually leaned over, her wavy hair gently brushing against his cheek, and Chu Mo, feeling a slight heat rise in his heart, absentmindedly said,
"Me? I'm a freelancer and recently planning to really enjoy life!"
As the words dropped, the refined girl beside him immediately offered flattery,
"Only a well-founded young master like Mr. Chu could say such enviable things! Mr. Chu, I toast to you!"
The server had already brought over two bottles of Ace of Spades, and as the girl nearby picked up her glass to toast him, Chu Mo immediately shook his head and said,
"I'm not accustomed to this drink!"
Amid the girl's embarrassment, Bai Shuang, who had been watching and listening, laughed and quickly said,
"Xiao Mo, don't trouble Mr. Chu. For a wine like this '84 Lafite, which costs two hundred thousand, Mr. Chu just takes a sip; he really isn't accustomed to the drinks here!"
"Ah...!"
The wavy-haired girl immediately gasped, looking unsure of what to do.
And just then, the girl with long straight black hair who had been sitting next to Chu Mo stood up and sat on his other side. The girl, who looked very goddess-like, moistened her red lips and leaned in close to Chu Mo's ear, whispering in a very seductive voice,
"Mr. Chu, the '90 Romane-Conti here is very nice. Though it's not as expensive as Lafite, the flavor is even more exquisite. If Mr. Chu orders two bottles, Xiao Ya will fulfill any wish you have tonight!"
