Ye Tong didn't say anything, and Xu Mu put the phone on speaker, clearly wanting to prove that he had no relationship with this woman.
Ye Tong felt a bit conflicted. She had previously imagined that even if Xu Mu found someone else, she wouldn't mind.
But it had to be a decent woman. How could it be someone who frequents bars like this?
"What's up?" Xu Mu asked into the phone.
"It feels like it's been ages since Young Master Xu came to my place for a drink."
Feng Yue's tone was somewhat wistful, but she didn't say it outright. She understood Xu Mu well enough.
A slight hint would definitely make him come running.
"I've quit drinking recently. I have to have dinner with my wife every night, so I won't be going," Xu Mu replied into the phone.
Hearing this, Ye Tong's face remained expressionless, but her heart was filled with joy.
[Affection +10]
Xu Mu glanced at Ye Tong and smiled. This affection came without any delay, as if summoned.
"What? Young Master Xu actually has..."
Feng Yue stopped mid-sentence, being sharp as she was, she knew exactly what this meant.
It proved that there was another woman by Xu Mu's side.
She laughed and said, "Alright then, I'll call you another time."
"Okay."
Xu Mu hung up the phone.
"Brother-in-law, just from her tone, you can tell this woman isn't good," Ye Yu said, pouting.
"Don't worry, I know she's no good either."
As Xu Mu was speaking, his phone vibrated slightly.
He took it out to check and found it was a message from Feng Yue.
"Do you have time tonight? I want to discuss something with Young Master Xu."
Xu Mu was puzzled, based on the plot and his memories.
This Feng Yue clearly saw the previous Xu Mu as an easy target. Her sudden initiative seemed off.
Xu Mu placed the phone in front of Ye Tong, "I've decided to go tonight."
Ye Tong glanced at the message on the phone and said a bit sourly, "Why discuss things at night?"
"You can come with me," Xu Mu said with a smile.
"I'm not going to that kind of place."
Ye Tong shook her head, "You're not coming back tonight, are you?"
"What are you thinking? If I don't come back, where would I go? I'm just going to sort things out and will definitely be back tonight."
Xu Mu held Ye Tong's hand, "We just got married not long ago, how can I let my wife be alone?"
Ye Tong heard this and immediately lowered her head shyly, "Alright, let's eat."
...
After dinner.
After waiting at home for a while, Xu Mu drove his Porsche to Moonlight Bar.
Located in the southern second ring of Jiang City, this place was almost always packed every night.
The reason people came was simple: the bar owner was very beautiful.
Not only that, Feng Yue was also considered a famous socialite.
Besides Xu Mu, she knew many big figures, and there were many who pursued her.
After parking his car, the security guard at the entrance immediately greeted him with a smile and pointed the way, "Young Master Xu, there's a parking spot here."
Xu Mu nodded and parked the car in the spot.
The security guard quickly picked up a nearby traffic cone and placed it on either side of the car.
After Xu Mu got out of the car, he adjusted his suit slightly and took out a hundred yuan from his pocket, handing it to the security guard. "Go buy yourself some cigarettes."
"Thank you, Young Master Xu."
The security guard nodded respectfully.
Xu Mu couldn't shake the feeling that something was off, so he tried to act just as he had the last time he came here, avoiding giving away any clues.
As Xu Mu walked inside, another security guard approached the first one.
"Brother Zhang, who is that guy?"
"You're new here, so it's normal you don’t recognize him. You’ve heard of the Xu Group in Jiang City, right?"
The first security guard stuffed the hundred yuan into his pocket.
"Of course! Isn’t it the top-ranked conglomerate around here?"
"He's the chairman's son. Every time he comes to the bar, he covers the tab for everyone!"
"Whoa! That’s so cool!"
...
As Xu Mu stepped into the bar, the vibrant lights and music hit him instantly.
On the dance floor, several women were wildly swaying to the beat.
Men and women mingled closely, some even kissing passionately on the spot.
The DJ on the stage was bobbing his head to the rhythm, but when he spotted Xu Mu, he grabbed the mic and shouted enthusiastically, "Welcome, Young Master Xu!"
The crowd drinking below erupted in cheers.
In Moonlight Bar, everyone knew Xu Mu’s name. Whenever he showed up, it meant they could indulge without restraint.
A young girl with dyed yellow hair and smoky makeup glanced curiously at Xu Mu.
She turned to the yellow-haired man next to her and asked, "Brother Tu, why does everyone announce his arrival?"
"You’re new here, so you don’t understand who he is. He’s basically the sucker who buys us drinks," Brother Tu chuckled softly. Then he raised his hand and called over a nearby server. "Bring us a dozen bottles of Armand de Brignac."
"Apologies, sir, but our Armand de Brignac series is completely sold out," the female server said apologetically.
"What? Are you doing this on purpose?" Brother Tu sneered.
"Sir, please look over there in the corner," the server gestured toward a spot in the hall.
The corner table was stacked high with various premium liquors. "That gentleman ordered them before Young Master Xu arrived, whereas you placed your order afterward. Even if there’s a queue, his order comes first."
The server had phrased her explanation as diplomatically as possible.
The man in the corner had clearly ordered without knowing Xu Mu would show up, proving he wasn’t short on cash.
Brother Tu, on the other hand, only dared to place his order after Xu Mu arrived, clearly hoping Xu Mu would foot the bill.
The difference between the two was obvious.
Brother Tu certainly wouldn’t dare cause trouble here; the bar’s owner wasn’t someone to be trifled with.
"Do you have any other expensive drinks? We want something over ten thousand yuan," Brother Tu asked with a grin.
"Yes, we have the Youth Edition of the Heavenly Dragon series, which costs eighteen thousand eight hundred yuan per package," the server replied with a smile.
"Well, what are you waiting for? Bring it over!"
Brother Tu grinned at the yellow-haired boys and girls around him. "Tonight, I’ll let you all taste what premium liquor feels like."
Meanwhile, at the table the server had pointed to earlier.
Lin Yang was sitting there with a smile, surrounded by a group of people he had specifically invited for their drinking abilities.
Knowing Xu Mu would be coming, Lin Yang had already pre-ordered nearly all the premium liquor available in the bar.
Just their table alone had racked up a bill of over a million yuan.
Including the drinks ordered by others, today Xu Mu won't get away with less than two million.
Lin Yang had investigated Xu Mu and knew he was someone who cared about his reputation. Even if the price was high, Xu Mu would definitely foot the bill in the end.
Lin Yang's goal was to annoy him; no matter how wealthy someone is, spending millions for no reason would surely leave them feeling displeased.
Of course, if it were just for this reason to specially call Xu Mu over, it would be a waste of effort.
Lin Yang had other plans for today.
"Guys, what are you standing around for? Drink up." Lin Yang watched Xu Mu head towards the second floor, a slight smile playing on his lips.
...
Xu Mu had already reached the second floor and knocked on the door.
The door opened to reveal Feng Yue, dressed in a cheongsam, with a charming smile. "Young Master Xu has arrived?"
Xu Mu nodded slightly and immediately used his special ability to observe her, hoping to discern her identity.
