The Counterattack of a Wealthy Family's Substitute

As soon as Yao Yingxi finished speaking, Xi Yuanchen's expression changed instantly. He sneered and said, "Yao Yingxi, don't cry later."

After saying that, he put his arm around Yao Yingxi and headed towards the bathroom.

As he moved, he slowly squeezed into Yao Yingxi's body.

Yao Yingxi's face turned pale with pain instantly, and she tightened her grip on Xi Yuanchen's shoulder, leaving deep red marks on his shoulder with her nails.

Upon entering the bathroom, Xi Yuanchen turned on all the shower switches, and soon both of them were completely soaked.

The weather was approaching early winter, and the cold water made Yao Yingxi instinctively snuggle into Xi Yuanchen's arms.

Soon, the bathtub was full of water, and Xi Yuanchen carried Yao Yingxi inside.

The calm water surface rippled slightly.

Xi Yuanchen kept his word. By the end, the bathtub was completely cold, and Yao Yingxi's voice was hoarse from pleading for mercy. The affair only ended when Yao Yingxi passed out from his ministrations.

Yao Yingxi didn't wake up until noon the next day. When she opened her eyes, the entire bedroom was already brightly lit.

She moved her body, and as always, it felt sore and weak, as if it had been taken apart and put back together. Especially between her legs, which burned with pain.

After a while, Yao Yingxi slowly sat up from the bed and went to the bathroom to wash up.

After tidying up and leaving the bedroom, Yao Yingxi realized that Xi Yuanchen should have left by now.

She glanced at the door of the bedroom opposite, walked over, pressed the door handle, pushed the door open, and went in. No one was there.

Yao Yingxi stood at the door for a few seconds, her gaze falling on the documents on the desk, before slowly walking over.

It was the same document she'd seen yesterday morning—information about Hengyuan Group. Yao Yingxi sat down and flipped through the document from beginning to end. She discovered a letter of intent from Hengyuan Group to collaborate with GP Company tucked inside.

Yao Yingxi closed the file, put it back in its original place, and got up to leave.

All morning, Yao Yingxi was absent-minded, her mind preoccupied with whether Xi Yuanchen was going to cooperate with Xu Hengyuan.

At 3 p.m., Yao Yingxi tidied up and went to work at Nightshade.

She had already resigned two days ago, but the supervisor told her that they were short-staffed and asked her to stay for two more days until they found someone to replace her.

At 10 p.m., Yao Yingxi had just gone to the staff break room to get a drink of water after seeing off a group of guests when her colleague told her that another group of guests had arrived in the private room she was in charge of.

Yao Yingxi responded, drank some water, and quickly took the drinks menu and went out.

Inside the private room, the guests had already arrived. Yao Yingxi, dressed in the club's uniform, entered with a professional smile: "Excuse me, what would you like to order?"

As soon as Yao Yingxi finished speaking, she felt a sharp gaze fall upon her.

She looked over intuitively and saw a familiar figure sitting in the corner, but because the light was too dim, Yao Yingxi couldn't see who it was.

"What do you have here?" A man in a suit came over to take orders.

Yao Yingxi quickly looked away and noted down what they had ordered.

After quickly ordering drinks, Yao Yingxi said "Wait a moment" and went out, where she heard someone call out "President Xi".

Yao Yingxi's hand, gripping the doorknob, stiffened for a moment before she snapped back to reality and closed the door.

Yao Yingxi took out the order form and waited for them to pick up the drinks. She then stopped a colleague and said, "Lili, are you busy right now? I'm feeling a bit unwell. There are guests in the private room I'm in charge of, and they've already ordered drinks. I just need to deliver them later. Could you help me with this? I'll give you all the commission for this order, okay?"

Lili, who was being held back by Yao Yingxi, smiled apologetically at Yao Yingxi: "I'm sorry, Yingxi, the private rooms I'm in charge of are all full. Those guests are very demanding, and I can't even take care of my own."

"It's nothing." Yao Yingxi smiled and let go of her: "Then you go ahead and get busy."

Lily nodded to her and quickly left.

The wine had already been brought out, and Yao Yingxi went to get it, then braced herself and headed to the private room.

Yao Yingxi brought the drinks in and knelt in front of the table in the center of the private room to open the bottles for them.

Just now it was all men, but now they have called girls from the club. Yao Yingxi kept her eyes straight ahead, only wanting to finish her work as soon as possible and leave.

She was busy with her work when a man who looked to be in his twenties and was wearing a white shirt came over to get some drinks. His gaze fell on her face, and he suddenly said to her, "Hey, this young lady is very pretty."

"Come on, have a drink with your brother."

Yao Yingxi stopped what she was doing, looked at the person in front of her, and said with a professional smile: "Sorry, we prohibit drinking with guests."

"There's such a rule?" The man simply sat down on the sofa in front of Yao Yingxi, a nonchalant smile on his face: "But don't worry, just drink. If your boss scolds you, I'll explain for you."

“That’s not appropriate, sir,” Yao Yingxi refused again.

The man didn't intend to force her. Seeing Yao Yingxi's firm refusal, he changed the subject: "Then, little sister, could you tell your brother your name?"

Yao Yingxi remained silent and did not answer the question from the person in front of her. She felt a chill all over her body. When she opened the last bottle of wine, she used too much force, and the bottle tilted, spilling half of the wine onto her black bodycon mini skirt.

Yao Yingxi quickly stood up, and the man who had been chatting with her immediately took out a few tissues to help Yao Yingxi wipe the wine stains off her skirt.

"Thank you, I can do it myself..." Yao Yingxi quickly stepped back to avoid the person's hand, but the person took the opportunity to grab Yao Yingxi's wrist, not allowing her to dodge.

"Sir, please have some self-respect!" Yao Yingxi said coldly, shaking off the man's hand.

The man was embarrassed when Yao Yingxi shook him off, and the commotion they made attracted everyone's attention. He was about to curse Yao Yingxi with an ugly expression after being humiliated by a liquor vendor when Xi Yuanchen's voice suddenly rang out: "Get out of here, all of you!"

Today, everyone in this private room is a trusted confidant of Xi Yuanchen's company who has been with him for a long time. The man who flirted with Yao Yingxi is his younger brother whom he watched grow up.

Everyone knew his temper, and when they heard him suddenly get angry, they immediately left. Even the man who had harassed Yao Yingxi slunk away with his tail between his legs.

Yao Ying froze on the spot. As she took a step forward, a deep, cold voice came from behind her: "Stop!"

Yao Yingxi didn't move, but she was still startled by his cold and deep voice.

She clenched her fingers, watching Xi Yuanchen walk to her side and silently look at her.

Yao Yingxi didn't know what he was looking at, but she mustered up the courage to look him in the eye. Xi Yuanchen, however, spoke with a gloomy expression: "Is this how you seduce men?"
