Chapter 7 - Chapter 7 Getting into Hot Water

"You want money, don't you? Well, I will give it to you, naturally." A nasty smile appeared at the corner of Zhao Xue's mouth as she took a hundred - dollar bill out of her pocket and waved it in front of Du Yue's eyes.

Du Yue subconsciously reached out her hand. However, the hundred - dollar bill suddenly slipped from Zhao Xue's fingers, missing Du Yue's slender ones and floating to the ground. In a flash, it was heavily stepped on by a shoe.

Du Yue froze, while Zhao Xue beamed, "Oh dear, how embarrassing. My hand just twitched and accidentally dropped it. But I think Miss Su is generous enough not to mind. Hurry up and pick it up!"

There was no fluctuation in Du Yue's eyes, not even a slight one.

She was fully aware that Zhao Xue did it on purpose.

Instead of getting into a tangle with her and then being scolded or punished by Chen Ze later, Du Yue squatted down without hesitation. However, a sudden tear somewhere made Du Yue tremble. She took a deep breath to restrain herself, but her body went limp, and she collapsed, kneeling on the ground.

Zhao Xue's eyes were full of unexpected amazement. Shen Ya was really something! In just two years, Du Yue had become worse than a dog, with no dignity at all!

In the past, how could Du Yue have endured such humiliation?

Du Yue didn't care. She directly pulled the hundred - dollar bill from under Zhao Xue's foot. Anyway, she had already experienced this situation hundreds of times. She had long been numb to it and didn't feel ashamed. She turned around neatly and left the villa.

The Nevernight City was not far from here. After a few minutes' drive, Du Yue arrived at the entrance.

After paying, she quickly got out of the car and went to the door of private room No. 15 as Zhao Xue had said.

Before she pushed the door open, she heard deafening singing and noise coming from inside. For some reason, Du Yue felt uneasy and anxious. She took a deep breath.

She pushed the door open and saw the scene inside the private room. The next moment, she clenched her fists tightly, unable to stop her face from turning pale.

Chen Ze wasn't there. Most of the people in the private room were the spoiled second - generation rich kids, and of course, they were all people Du Yue knew!

Two years ago, she was arrogant. These spoiled brats, whether they had pursued her or tried to befriend her, had all been verbally mocked by her.

She refused to be lumped together with those playboys living off their family businesses. She considered them worms and wastes who only did cowardly things like bullying the weak and fearing the strong... Perhaps at that time, she never thought there would be such a day.

Cold sweat broke out on Du Yue. She turned around and wanted to leave before they realized who she was.

"Stop!"

Suddenly, a raised male voice came from the sofa area, filled with extreme displeasure.

"Where do you come from? So rude! You don't knock before entering, and after entering, you don't even say hello. Do you really think this is a marketplace?"

Du Yue's body stiffened, and she kept apologizing, "Sorry, sorry! I didn't mean it. I walked into the wrong room..."

That man was half - drunk, having lost hundreds of thousands of dollars in a card game, and was in a bad mood, cursing under his breath, "Wrong room? You can just turn around and leave because you walked into the wrong room? Turn your head around!"

A great many thoughts went through Du Yue's mind. Would it cost more to run away now or to turn back?

In the end, she still chose to turn around.

She knew that with her broken body, running or not running made no difference. She could only secretly hope that the changes over these two years had been enough to make them unrecognizable.

The tattooed man was very angry. He picked up a wine glass and threw it at Du Yue's feet. The glass shattered, cutting Du Yue's ankle. "Why are you keeping your head down? Is it so shameful to see us? Or do you look down on our brothers? Lift your head up!"
