Chapter 654: Chapter 654 Too Coincidental, Right?

At the same time.

Not far from where Ye Xuan and his companions were staying, in another presidential suite at the Grand Duke Hotel, Yao Xingtong had not yet gone to bed and was applying a facial mask, talking on the phone in her bedroom.

And the person she was talking to was none other than Liu Ying, who had spent the night with Ye Xuan and had just returned from the underground boxing arena at the nightclub!

“Liu Ying, I heard you came to Huayun City, why didn’t you come to see me?”

Yao Xingtong placed the mask on her face and then applied serum on her body, asking with a smile on the phone.

“I came to Huayun City for business and will be returning to East Sea tomorrow. You’re now the pop princess of Yan Country, and countless people want to meet you. How could I presume to disturb you?” Liu Ying joked.

Upon hearing this, Yao Xingtong sighed silently and lay down on her bed gloomily, pulling the blanket over her, and said with a glum face, “Liu Ying, don’t say that. It just annoys me everytime you mention it!”

Hmm?

Sensing something was off with her mood, Liu Ying asked in surprise, “What’s wrong? My pop princess, who has upset you?”

Yao Xingtong felt irritated, and finding someone to confide in, she spoke of the incident that had occurred at the hotel entrance earlier that evening without holding anything back!

She even told the full story of how Ye Xuan had shown up and rescued her.

“Liu Ying, why is it so hard when all I want to do is sing peacefully?”

Yao Xingtong sighed softly, sounding somewhat resigned.

“That’s just the way the world is. Relationships between people are all about self-interest! ‘The world hustles and bustles for profit,’ especially in the entertainment industry you’re in, which is already mired in filth. Everyone is only concerned about their own interests. Once you dive into this mud, it’s not easy to stay clean. You will inevitably be tainted. No matter how much you ignore it, that filth will cling to you and you can’t shake it off.”

Liu Ying spoke softly, then comforted her, “The best solution isn’t to avoid them. It’s to remain unsoiled amidst the squalor. Just face everything calmly, keep your inner purity, and concentrate on doing your own thing! My pop princess, stop being so melancholic!”

After hearing Liu Ying’s words, Yao Xingtong pondered.

Then, she nodded seriously and said with a soft laugh, “Liu Ying, you make sense. The more I struggle in this mire, the deeper I’ll sink! I should face it calmly and keep my pure intentions, just focusing on singing my songs.”

“Hehe, that’s the right attitude. As long as you’re open-minded, nothing is really a problem! Besides, wasn’t there someone who rescued you tonight? This shows that not everything in this world revolves around profit.”

Liu Ying laughed and said.

“Yes, you’re right! He really is an unusual man.”

Hearing Liu Ying mention Ye Xuan, Yao Xingtong also laughed.

“Okay, let’s not talk about this. Let me tell you something fun…”

At this point, Liu Ying shifted the topic and began to recount the events of the evening she spent with Ye Xuan at the Hua Family nightclub’s boxing ring.

The story was full of twists and turns, and, embellished by Liu Ying’s vivid narration, it was perfectly presented!

As she pushed the story forward, Yao Xingtong couldn’t help but become excited, imagining a fiery and vigorous scene in her mind, envisioning that powerful man facing multiple opponents on the ring—what a gallant and commanding presence it must have been!

For a moment, she felt a strong curiosity about that confident man and asked, “Liu Ying, who is this man? Is he your boyfriend? Why have I never heard you mention him before?”

“Don’t talk nonsense, he’s not my boyfriend yet!”

Liu Ying’s lovely face turned red as she spoke softly, “But we have known each other for quite a long time. He’s quite interesting! He also stays at your luxurious Grand Hotel. His name is Ye Xuan, you might greet him if you get the chance.”

What? His name is Ye Xuan?

Upon hearing this, Yao Xingtong was stunned.

Could this arrogant and powerful man be the same one she had encountered tonight? This…This was too coincidental!

…

At the Huayun Family’s nightclub, located in a luxurious private room at the top floor, exclusively belonging to the great young master of Huayun, Hua Tian.

At this moment, Hua Tian was sitting on a genuine leather sofa from Dali Country, having grabbed a bottle of Romanee Conti Wine from the blue crystal long table in front of him. He filled a large glass, and gulped it down violently.

Judging by his behavior, it seemed as though he was drinking water, not wine. In the blink of an eye, this glass of wine, more expensive than gold itself, had been emptied by him.

At this moment, the blue crystal long table was cluttered with five or six empty bottles—all consumed by him alone!

And after consuming so much alcohol, Hua Tian’s body was enveloped in a strong scent of liquor, his handsome face flushed deeply as if he was seriously drunk, filling the entire private room with the smell of alcohol.

Although he hadn’t completely passed out, under the paralysis of the strong alcohol, his consciousness had begun to blur, and he was sitting lopsidedly, nearly sliding off the sofa!

“Ye Xuan… I, the foremost young master of Huayun, have been humiliated by you like this! I…I will make sure you die…”

“And…and Liu Ying, you wretched woman, I have chased you for so long, yet you give me no face at all! Just wait… One day, I will make you kneel before me…begging me to fuck you!”

As Hua Tian continued drinking, he uttered these resentful and hateful words, his face contorting with emotion, his eyes filled with intense bitterness.

Clang!

When the last drop of wine from the bottle was consumed, Hua Tian, looking thoroughly drunk, threw the bottle in his hand to the floor, where it rolled toward the door.

Just as he was about to grab another bottle of wine.

A ‘creak’ was heard—the door to the private room was suddenly pushed open!

A short, stout man gingerly opened the door and cautiously stepped in.

Catching a glimpse of Hua Tian’s drunken face, he swallowed nervously, mustered his courage, and stopped three meters away from him.

Looking at the empty bottles scattered on the floor, he stammered nervously, “Y…Young Master, are you alright?”

“Speak your mind or get lost!”

Hua Tian said impatiently, his voice deep and somber.

After that, without even looking at the short, stout man, he continued to open another bottle of wine, not bothering to pour it into a glass, and just drank directly from the bottle.

Seeing this, the short, stout man shrank his neck, his heart trembling even more, as it was clear that the young master was in a bad mood.

Gathering his thoughts, he meekly said, “Y…Young Master! I am truly sorry, I failed to complete your task. Miss Yao…she rejected me…she did not agree to your terms!”
