C5 Bastard

Water Night.

A mocking smile appeared on Qiao Zhirann's face. In the end, she still came here.

But for her father, for the company, she had no choice but to do what she was unwilling to do.

As soon as she entered Water Night, she heard deafening music. The colorful lights reflected on her face, and the DJ on the stage waved his fingers.

She resisted the frustration in her heart and clenched her fists tightly. A hint of impatience appeared on her pale face.

She walked forward step by step. When she saw the room number, her finger stopped in front of her hand, and her expression was rather solemn.

The door to the room was suddenly opened. She stood stiffly on the spot. Her eyes looked at the row of men who were looking at her in unison. All of them were like hungry wolves that were about to swallow her whole.

Qiao Zhirann subconsciously ran away but her fingers were tightly grabbed by someone.

She clenched her teeth and bit her lower lip slightly. A humiliating expression surged on her face and she used a little strength to shake that person off.

"Let go of me!"

Qiao Zhirann did not want to get involved with this group of people. Even if she touched her, she would feel dirty.

Liu Yong immediately revealed a mocking smile. He hugged the woman beside him and crossed his legs.

"Eldest niece, you finally came. I've been waiting for you for a long time. Since you're already here, do you still want to leave?"

A hint of disgust flashed across Qiao Zhirann's eyes when she heard this. She forced herself to remain calm as she walked in step by step. Every step she took was like stepping into an abyss, causing her entire body to feel cold.

"What's wrong? What kind of expression is this? Come, drink a cup of wine first to suppress your shock."

What exactly is going on? Liu Yong knew better than anyone else that Qiao Zhirann had fallen into this situation. No matter how high her child was, she still had to come and beg him.

The mocking smile on her face became more obvious. She pushed the wine cup in front of her.

Qiao Zhirann did not even look at it. She took out the documents from her bag and sent them all to everyone's hands.

"Now that my father is seriously ill, I will have to trouble everyone to take care of the matters in the company. This document has detailed accounts of the Qiao Family in recent years."

"Everyone is also a shareholder of the company. We have only made a lot of money over the years. I implore all of you to help the Qiao Family overcome this crisis for my father's sake."

Her voice was still neither servile nor overbearing. There was a firm look in her eyes as she calmly swept her gaze across the scene in front of her. However, when she saw the expressions of the various old bosses who were hugging each other from left to right, her confidence was insufficient.

This group of people was even worse than she had imagined.

Everyone threw the documents on the coffee table with a loud bang.

"It's time to get off work. Does Miss Qiao need to arrange work? Why don't we have a drink first?"

"I've long heard that Miss Qiao is graceful and graceful. Why don't you sit down and accompany me? Maybe I'll agree to this matter when I'm happy."

The one who said this was a bald old man. His eyes emitted a disgusting light. Qiao Zhirann forcefully endured the discomfort in her heart.

Her hands could not help but clench tightly. Her fingers pierced into her flesh. As if she did not feel any pain, she still stood straight.

"Uncle, I'm not here to drink with you."

"As long as you're willing to drink this cup of wine, everything else is fine."

This was forcing Qiao Zhirann to drink. Her gaze fell on the glass of wine in front of her.

After hesitating for a moment, just as she was about to reach out to take it, she heard a loud sound.

Her shoulders also trembled slightly. Following the sound, she looked over and saw a man in a suit standing in front of the door of the private room.

This man was tall and straight, and his suit was especially suitable for him.

Huo Bailee's face was cold as he walked in step by step. All the bosses were shocked. They hurriedly stood up and shook off the woman beside them.

Huo Bailee appeared in Water Night today for an important cooperation. He pushed a cup on the social table and changed a cup. He casually glanced down and saw Qiao Zhirann standing in front of the room with hesitation in her eyes.

Qiao Zhirann, who looked very tall, would come to a place like this?

"I have other things to do. Everyone, enjoy yourselves." Huo Bailee signed the contract and drank a cup of wine before leaving the table.

It made people curious. A woman who firmly refused his compensation would come to the venue for her emotions.

Was she pretending to be high and mighty, or was she intentionally drawing his attention?

No matter which method it was, Qiao Zhirann had succeeded.

Qiao Zhirann clearly did not expect him to appear. The finger that held the wine glass also shook violently.

She looked at the man in front of her in disbelief.

"Huo Bailee... why are you here?"

The Water Night was the property of the Huo Family, and the top floor was Huo Bailee's private domain. No one was allowed to step into it.

No one was surprised to encounter Huo Bailee in the Water Night. What surprised them was that Huo Bailee would suddenly break into the private room.

"Qiao Zhirann."

A low and hoarse voice sounded. It did not fit in with this place. There was a hint of coldness in this voice.

Qiao Zhirann tightened her fingers and bit her lower lip slightly. When the man's powerful breath came, it made her heart stop abruptly.

"What are you doing? Huh?"

"Drinking."

Qiao Zhirann's answer was straightforward and unyielding as usual.

"Drink? They gave you money?" Huo Bailee looked at the shivering old men with a sneer on his face.

Qiao Zhirann thought for a while and swallowed her bitterness. "You can say that too."

Huo Bailee had heard about these few bosses. They were all shareholders who had followed Qiao Angliang for many years. Now that something had happened to the Qiao's, they were actually making things difficult for the Qiao Family's eldest daughter.

This was ridiculous.

After a few seconds of silence, Qiao Zhirann's wrist was suddenly grabbed. Huo Bailee threw her heavily onto the sofa and brought the bottle of wine to her face. His expression was extremely gloomy.

With a slightly threatening voice, he said, "Then drink this bottle of wine and I will give you money as well. How about it?"

Qiao Zhirann looked at him in disbelief. Was this person here to add insult to injury? She pushed the wine cup out and suddenly stood up. She stood on her tiptoes and picked up her bag.

"I'm sorry, Director Huo. I don't want to drink with you."

The few people led by Liu Yong took a deep breath. They never thought that Huo Bailee would appear here, and they never thought that Qiao Zhirann would actually reject Huo Bailee. Did she know what she was talking about?

"Why did you come to a place like this without a drink? Qiao Zhirann, as long as you drink this bottle of wine, I will give you five million."

Hearing this, Qiao Zhirann's remaining rationality made her stop. The Qiao Family needed money and one hundred million. Drinking a bottle of wine to earn five million was worth it.

Qiao Zhirann clenched her fists a few times. In the end, she could not resist the temptation of five million, "Alright, I will drink. You will do as you say."

She picked up the bottle with one hand, her movements very neat, her mouth facing the bottle as she drank hard.

When the spicy wine was poured into her stomach, it burned her heart and lungs.

Huo Bailee frowned. Seeing that the bottle of wine was about to be poured into her stomach, he could not help but stretch out his hand and take away her bottle. He threw it to the side.

"Stop drinking!"

Qiao Zhirann frowned and subconsciously squatted down to pick up the bottle. She had to finish it. Only after drinking five million would she be able to get it.

Huo Bailee grabbed her wrist and pulled her into his arms with a little force. His slender arms wrapped around her slim waist.
