Urban Most Awesome Dad

Chapter 524: Untitled Section_1 Chapter 524: Untitled Section_1 Xu Yixue’s last words were quite impolite, to say the least, and Li Qianqian, hearing them, turned a furious shade of purple.

Originally, she had been in a position to either advance or retreat, holding the initiative, but for some unknown reason, the situation had turned out this way.

Not only did she fail to achieve the goal of making Xu Yixue angry, but she also ended up infuriating herself.

Clenching her phone tightly, her long nails digging deep into her flesh, she nearly drew blood, her body trembling with barely contained rage.

Her lips quivered for a full three seconds before she ultimately said nothing, Li Qianqian ended the call and threw her phone to the other side.

There was no doubt that in this confrontation, she had humiliated herself.

She had imagined herself arrogantly emerging as the victor, mocking and gloating at Xu Yixue, triumphantly exhibiting her power, and then happily listening to Xu Yixue’s anger, frustration, and sorrow on the phone.

But the plot had twisted completely opposite; instead, Xu Yixue repeatedly countered her jibes, leaving Li Qianqian in disarray.

“Xu Yixue, you’re driving me insane, I will make you pay!”
Li Qianqian trembled with rage, her eyes revealing unmasked fury and resentment.

Although she had dealt with various men and had been jealous of numerous women, often exercising patience, it didn’t mean she was magnanimous.

On the contrary, she was always petty and spiteful.

Initially, provoking Xu Yixue had been just a mission, but now, she decided to really test her strength against Xu Yixue, doing everything she could to make this woman’s life miserable.

Gradually calming down, she picked up the phone again and sent a WeChat message to Xu Fangcheng: “Mr.

Xu, this woman is sharp-tongued and not easy to deal with.”
“Of course, it won’t affect Lanyun Pavilion’s plans.”
Xu Fangcheng’s reply came quickly: “Understood.”
Glancing at it, Li Qianqian locked her screen and sneered, her gaze wandering outside the window as she became lost in thought.

Inside the hotel.

After putting down his phone, Xu Fangcheng casually picked up the whiskey poured by Iron Hand Master, swirled it a few times, and took a gentle sip, humming a cheerful tune indicating he was in a good mood.

“Young Master, what brings such joy?” Iron Hand Master asked casually.

“Heh, it’s nothing major…” Xu Fangcheng waved his hand, feigning indifference, but the smugness in his eyes was unmistakable, and anyone could see it.

Iron Hand Master discretely stepped back, his face a picture of respect as he waited.

He knew Xu Fangcheng must be up to something to be this pleased; besides, he hadn’t mentioned Li Qianqian, who had almost disappeared for a day.

It’s likely that she was handling matters on his behalf.

In any case, the abnormalities displayed by both of them made Iron Hand Master suspicious, but he couldn’t pretend to be interested or even ask another question for fear of arousing suspicion.

…

Elsewhere.

After hanging up the phone, Xu Yixue breathed a sigh of relief and collapsed into her executive chair with a blank expression, her eyes empty and unfocused.

Although she had just shown a higher level of wit in her retorts to Li Qianqian, taking the upper hand.

The truth was, the indifference she showed towards Xu Fan’s past was deliberately exaggerated; her heart was still in pain.

This kind of thing, when placed upon any woman, couldn’t be completely ignored – being bullied so arrogantly and ostentatiously by her husband’s ex-girlfriend.

Initially, her mood was quite good, but now it was severely affected by the phone call, making her feel absolutely awful!

“Yixue…”
Ye Xiaoning pushed open the office door, saw Xu Yixue appearing lost and pale, and couldn’t help but gently knock on the door, calling out to her.

Xu Yixue came back to her senses and upon seeing Ye Xiaoning, couldn’t help but squeeze out a smile, “Xiao Ning, what’s wrong?”
“Ah…

Seeing you look off, I should be the one asking what’s wrong with Yixue, shouldn’t I?” Ye Xiaoning said tongue-in-cheek with a speechless expression.

“I’m fine,” Xu Yixue massaged her temples with both hands and casually said, “Perhaps I was too engrossed in thinking.”
“Is that so…” Ye Xiaoning was clearly somewhat skeptical.

“Or could it be fake?” Xu Yixue playfully rolled her eyes.

“Xiao Ning, you should focus more on work, nosing around like this, be careful not to end up an old maid.”
“Alright, I got it.” Ye Xiaoning immediately admitted defeat and got down to business, “Yixue, regarding the microfilm for ‘Dragon Hidden in the City,’ a big shot from a group has contacted us expressing interest in investing, so he proposed a meeting to discuss collaboration.

Should we accept his offer to meet?”
Xu Yixue pondered for a moment, then decided, “Okay, ask him if he’s available tonight at 8 o’clock to go to Junlin Grand Hotel.

If he is, then it’s settled.”
Junlin Grand Hotel belonged to the Sun Family’s territory, where security was guaranteed during meetings to prevent any malicious intentions from the other party.

“Alright, I’ll get back to him immediately.” Ye Xiaoning briskly bowed and walked out of the office, closing the door behind her.

Once alone, Xu Yixue couldn’t help but think about the phone call again, her mind racing with all sorts of thoughts, eager to pour her heart out to Xu Fan over the phone and tell him how his ex-girlfriend had bullied her.

But in the end, she restrained herself from expressing her grievance.

If she made a fuss with Xu Fan over such trivial matters, it would seem like she was too petty-minded.

Of course, the main reason was that she had great trust in Xu Fan.

After settling her emotions, Xu Yixue pushed the bad thoughts to the back of her mind and immediately immersed herself into work.

…

At a quarter past seven in the evening.

Xu Fan brought Tongtong to the Lu family mansion, mentioning he had some business to attend to and asking Zhang Lijuan to help look after the child for a while.

Tongtong was exceptionally well-behaved, unusually neither asking questions nor clinging, and it was only when Xu Fan turned to leave that she said in her tender voice, reluctantly, “Daddy, make sure to come pick up Tongtong early.”
Xu Fan smiled, nodded, thanked Zhang Lijuan with a “please take care,” and then headed to Lanyun Pavilion on his own.

Lanyun Pavilion was a nightclub in Zhonghai City, quite spacious, luxuriously fitted, enriching the nightlife with its glamorous charm.

It was the perfect place for young people to release their hormones and passion.

Approaching eight o’clock, Xu Fan parked his car outside Lanyun Pavilion, glanced at the sign, and walked straight in.

The lobby of Lanyun Pavilion was noisy and chaotic, paired with flashing multicolored lights and thumping music, as if entering another world, with an atmosphere laden with sensuality and recklessness, spiced with a strong flavor of debauchery.

Numerous young men and women danced wildly in the hall, their bodies vigorously shaking, presenting a scene brimming with vitality.

On a pink stage, there were three poles, and three scantily-clad beautiful women were proudly showing off their enchanting figures, teasing the onlooker’s fancy with various poses.

Below the stage gathered a bunch of animals, ogling and admiring, eyes glowing as they occasionally let out licentious cheers.
