Chapter 23: Orange Juice

Book:Reborn Cute Wife Published:2024-5-1

Ye Guanguan gave a sulky look at Rong Xiying and said, “Send my brother home right away. I’ve got something else to do. Do what I ask you to, unless you want my brother to be punched by our father.”
“Girl, why are you still so bad-tempered after getting married?”
A delighted smile flickered across Rong Xiying’s face, and he reached out to rub Ye Guanguan’s soft hair as if she was his own daughter who had grown up.
Ye Guanguan was annoyed and was going to punch him. Rong Xiying was so scared that he went to Ye Qiancheng right away.
Having handled Ye Qiancheng’s problem, Ye Guanguan finally let out a long sigh of relief. Anyway, it was safe for her to stay in Jinghua Club for the moment.
She stared at the familiar dance floor, and memories flashed in her mind where she danced with Lu Mingye here in the previous life. Suddenly, she felt she was somehow silly. She was so silly that she was used by Lu Mingye for such a long time and he even held her mother’s bequest.
Well, since she ran out, she would like to settle everything down once for all.
She walked down from the private room on the second floor and a new bartender on the night shift was working by the bar. Luckily, bar staff all knew her.
“Lend your phone to me, please.”
Ye Guanguan suddenly regretted pulling out her own SIM card. It was so inconvenient.
The bartender’s reply was crisp, and Ye Guanguan got his phone quickly. Right at this moment, the phone number of Lu Mingye, the jerk, was like carved in her mind.
Even without thinking about it, she dialed a string of numbers naturally as she touched the keypad.
As soon as the phone beeped, there came a female mechanic voice, “Sorry, the subscriber you dialed is busy.”
Lu Mingye didn’t answer the phone? Ye Guanguan dialed his number again.
“Sorry…”
“What does sorry help? Lu Mingye, why did you say that to Ye Guanguan? Come and pick me up! You’re not available? I don’t want the driver. I want you to come! Mingye, doesn’t your promise count now?”
The female mechanic voice came together with a familiar voice. Holding the phone, Ye Guanguan’s hand came to a sudden halt. She turned her head, and sure enough, she saw Ye Qiuran sitting in a VIP booth at a short distance.
Ye Qiuran was sitting on a red sofa alone. The tea table in front of her was covered with empty bottles. She wore a delicate makeup as usual. But why was her dress slit to the thigh?
Seemed like the phone was cut off soon. Ye Qiuran would never show her angry face to Lu Mingye over the phone. In normal times, she used to be as elegant and well-behaved as Qiao Xinyi.
Interest grew in Ye Guanguan, and she gave back the phone to the bartender. She held a glass of whisky and went closer to Ye Qiuran. Meanwhile, a man squeezed his way over hurriedly!
Seemed like Ye Qiuran quarreled with Lu Mingye after she received the WeChat message from Ye Guanguan. Ye Qiuran had thought that Lu Mingye would worry about her when she drank. Unexpectedly, Lu Mingye only sent his driver.
“Miss Ye.”
The driver Lu Heng, in a black waiter’s uniform, turned up beside Ye Qiuran.
With the glass of whiskey in her hand, Ye Guanguan sat in the next booth, with her back to them. As she pretended to drink, she pricked up her ears.
“I said I didn’t want you! Why did you come? Ask Lu Mingye to explain to me!”
Ye Qiuran was dead drunk, and she yelled, regardless of her image. If Ye Guanguan remembered correctly, Ye Qiuran was good at pretending. Was she losing temper because she was annoyed by Ye Guanguan?
“Young Master said he was busy and he asked me to drive you home.”
As Lu Heng said, he walked up to hold her. Ye Qiuran, however, slapped him! Without saying anything, Lu Heng held her up forcibly.
They were behaving quite naturally as if they were a couple in a quarrel.
“Let go of me! Put me down! Bring Lu Mingye to me! I want to see him!”
Ye Qiuran slapped Lu Heng several more times and even knocked his cap over. Lu Heng didn’t struggle, and he didn’t dare to force her again.
Ye Qiuran was put back to the sofa. She took up the wine bottle on the table and poured the wine into her mouth. Seemed like she wouldn’t stop until she got hammered.
Ye Guanguan heard Lu Heng making a call to Lu Mingye. Sadly, upon hearing it was about Ye Qiuran, Lu Mingye hung up the phone directly before Lu Heng continued.
The bartender, working by the bar at a short distance, waved at Ye Guanguan. The latter was surprised. The bartender then pointed at the vibrating phone, signaling that someone was calling back.
Obviously, it was Lu Mingye’s phone number. Ye Guanguan was amused, and away she walked from the booth.
Ye Qiuran, sitting on the red sofa, was still drinking. Without saying a single word, Lu Heng stayed by her side, until she stopped crying.
In the previous life, Ye Guanguan knew how much Lu Heng loved Ye Qiuran and he had helped her do a lot of illegal things.
By then, cheated by Ye Qiuran and Lu Mingye, Ye Guanguan had thought that Ye Qiuran liked the driver, regardless of his humble identity. How silly she was in the previous life!
Sitting back to the bar, Ye Guanguan asked the bartender, “Do you have any philter?”
“Girl, what do you want it for?”
The bartender was a newcomer, and he didn’t know Ye Guanguan. His colleague in the last shift told him that Ye Guanguan was Ye Qiancheng’s younger sister who shouldn’t be easily annoyed. The bartender, as a result, was polite to her. But he didn’t know the girl was so wild.
Noticing the surprised and worried look on his face, Ye Guanguan knew he got her wrong.
“See? Over there.” Ye Guanguan pointed at Ye Qiuran and Lu Heng who sat on the sofa and lowered their heads. Seen from this angle, they looked so intimate.
“They’re my friends. They’ve known each other for seven or eight years, but the man didn’t dare to confess his love. I… I want to help them.”
The bartender was a college student who had just graduated. Obviously, the woman on the red sofa was from a rich family, judged from her dress. He showed much sympathy for the man.
The man looked poor, but so what? In this world, a lot of women didn’t care only for money.
What Ye Guanguan said made the bartender burn with excitement. He asked Ye Guanguan to wait a second before he went to the toilet. A very short moment later, he returned and looked around mysteriously before he threw a phial to Ye Guanguan.
The white plastic phial clanged. Ye Guanguan opened it, and found a white tablet. It looked like a sleeping pill and had little taste.
“Why must you get it from the toilet?” asked Ye Guanguan curiously.
With a mysterious smile, the bartender replied, “A buddy likes to wait for girls in the toilet. You know it.”
Ye Guanguan shrugged her shoulders, without any interest in their dirty deals. She looked back at Lu Heng who was putting the coat on Ye Qiuran, and pushed the white phial to the bartender.
“Make me a glass of orange juice. Whether he can succeed depends on you,” Ye Guanguan instructed.
Ye Qiuran hurt her, and Lu Heng helped her do a lot of bad things. Ye Qiuran stole Lu Mingye and even cast greedy eyes on the Ye family as an ambitious wolf.
In the evening before the wedding day, Ye Guanguan broke the first step of Ye Qiuran and Lu Mingye’s plan. But preventive measures were also necessary. She swore to herself that she would take revenge on what she had suffered in the previous life.
With a glass of iced orange juice in her hand, Ye Guanguan walked to the sofa with a smile.
