22: Chapter 22 – Must Not Defy the Young Master’s Wishes 22: Chapter 22 – Must Not Defy the Young Master’s Wishes But it was precisely this that made her all the more anxious and afraid.

She thought that he must have studied psychology, knowing how to play on an opponent’s psyche, to instill fear, to put them at a disadvantage.

That evening, just as she was about to fall asleep, her cellphone suddenly rang.

The cellphone was a gift from Rong Shaoze, and the number was new as well.

Apart from Rong Shaoze and the butler Lao Gu, no one else knew it.

Lin Xinlan turned on her phone, and sure enough, it was Rong Shaoze calling.

She thought for a moment, then pressed the answer key.

From the other end came the slurred voice of Rong Shaoze, “I’m at Meiye Bar right now, drunk.

Come pick me up immediately.” He hung up before she had a chance to speak.

Lin Xinlan frowned in confusion.

Why should his drunkenness concern her, and why did he expect her to pick him up?

She didn’t want to go pick him up, so she called Lao Gu to ask him to fetch Rong Shaoze.

Lao Gu was very loyal to Rong Shaoze, so she assumed he wouldn’t leave his young master stranded outside drunk.

“Young Madam, the young master did not call me to pick him up, so I cannot do it.”

“But he’s drunk.

He called and said to have someone pick him up.”

“He called you, though, so he wants you to pick him up.

If the young master wanted someone else to pick him up, he would’ve called me,” Lao Gu said indifferently.

Lin Xinlan sighed in resignation, “I don’t want to go.

You go.

If you won’t, then forget it, let him stay drunk outside.”

“Whether you go or not is your decision, Young Madam, but we can’t go against the young master’s wishes,” Lao Gu said, and then he hung up the phone.

Lin Xinlan couldn’t help but complain inwardly.

What an old-fashioned man, it’s no wonder his name is Lao Gu.

She did not want to go pick up Rong Shaoze.

Lin Xinlan turned off the light to sleep, but tossed and turned in bed, unable to fall asleep.

In the end, she had no choice but to get up, get dressed, and take a taxi to Meiye.

She absolutely agreed that in her previous life she must have owed Rong Shaoze something.

That’s why she was being hurt by him this lifetime, why she was helpless against him.

Upon arriving at Meiye Bar, she couldn’t help but frown at the raucous noise inside.

She stepped back a bit and dialed Rong Shaoze’s number, “I’m here, where are you?”

“I’m in…

the private room…” He hung up after that, probably passing out from the intoxication.

Lin Xinlan was speechless, so many private rooms, which one could it be?!

With no other choice, she began to search each one individually.

As soon as she entered the dance floor, many men approached her, trying to strike up a conversation.

She kept a cold face and said nothing; those who were aware enough left on their own, but those who weren’t so clued in continued to harass her, following her.

“Hey, beautiful, let’s chat.

What’s your name?

Let me buy you a drink.”

“Back off, I’m here looking for someone.”

“Who are you looking for?

Tell me, and I’ll help you find them.

Don’t worry, your business is my business, I’ve got it all covered,” the man said familiarly, reaching out to put a hand on her shoulder.

Lin Xinlan shook off his hand with disgust, “Stay away from me!”

“Wow, you’re not very gentle, are you?

It would be better if you had a sense of style.

When you come to a place like this, you shouldn’t put on airs.”

Lin Xinlan had no intention of wasting words with him.

She quickened her pace and suddenly ran into someone.

Looking up, she saw a sleazy, overweight man.

Around his neck, he wore a gold chain as thick as a finger, clearly the mark of a nouveau riche.

His gaze upon her was bright, as if seeing delicious prey.

Lin Xinlan took a step back and said coolly, “Sorry.”

As she attempted to bypass the man, he grabbed her hand, “Hey beautiful, you bump into me and think a simple sorry will do?”

Lin Xinlan tried to shake off his grip, but he held on too tightly, “What do you want then?

I already apologized.”

“How about you buy me a drink?”
