Volume 1 Rebirth Chapter 9 Sweet Little Miss

  About twenty young ladies led by Dandan, all of whom could be considered beauties if judged by their appearance, and it was clear that Zhou Hao's status as a young master had played a huge role.

  As the most powerful mama in the three nightclubs under Zhou Xinglong, Dandan had enough girls under her to form a reinforced company. Because it was Zhou Hao, this "young master", who personally named them, she naturally brought all the best-looking girls under her command, including two new girls who had just entered the industry and were still fresh and tender.

  Even with the old Taoist's keen eyesight, who had been in the wind and moon for twelve years, it was impossible to see at a glance what kind of woman Zhou Hao and his brothers liked. She brought all the best-looking ones, including passionate and unrestrained types, pure and lovely types, classical and elegant types, exotic and charming types, young and tender types... Each one was different, with unique charm, from dressing to temperament, they could make men's eyes light up.

  It's not just about looks when it comes to being a hostess, the best place to witness human nature is in these kinds of establishments. Men come here for one thing: "pleasure". They're looking for a hostess to sit with them, drink and sing, not a wooden post. No matter how beautiful she looks, if she doesn't have a unique charm and elegant conversation skills, she'll always be relegated to being third-rate goods.

  As for the ladies brought out by Dandan, each and every one of them is capable of being a top-notch in other circles. They belong to that type who possess both beauty and elegance, able to fully showcase their advantages.

  These twenty or so young ladies, upon seeing that the group of customers in front of them were actually five little boys, had some of them secretly thinking to themselves, "Pick me, I've accompanied all sorts of men before, just not young boys..."

  Among them, the one who attracted the most attention from the ladies was naturally Chu Yu, who was extremely handsome and had an air of pride about him. It was all thanks to him that he didn't have to find a hole in the ground to hide in like Xiao Yi would have if he were here.

  Zhou Hao quickly chose a blonde beauty, and according to Dan Dan's introduction, she was also from an ethnic minority. The others followed suit and made their choices, leaving only Chu Yu who remained calm and continued drinking alone, as if it had nothing to do with him.

  "Xiao Yi, hurry up and choose one." Zhou Hao had just turned sixteen a month ago, and this time it was his old man who specially prepared the "coming of age ceremony" for him. This kid really let loose, calling out to that blonde girl as soon as she sat down, and his hand started getting unscrupulous, teasing her while urging on.

  Chu Yu had always been cautious with emotions but not with lust. To be honest, thirty years ago when he first entered the world of martial arts, he had also played around with many women. Now, calling a young lady to sit down was nothing out of the ordinary. Hearing Zhou Hao's urging voice, he chuckled and pointed at a long-haired girl near the door: "I think I've seen you before, it might as well be you."

  The girl sitting next to Chu Yu looked like she was only in her early twenties, with a delicate and tender complexion that made her small face look even more lovely. Her long black hair fell to her shoulders, and she wore two silver earrings shaped like crescent moons on her ears. She had a light makeup and a simple yet elegant dress, which accentuated her beauty perfectly. Sitting next to Chu Yu, she looked a bit uneasy and awkward, but still exuded an aura of innocence and purity, like a small piece of jade.

  Dandan saw Chu Yu challenging, seemingly worried, and sat down beside Zhou Hao, who was arm-wrestling with a small golden-haired wild cat, and whispered in his ear: "Young master, the girl your brother called has only been here for a few days, and today is her first time accompanying guests. If there's anything she can't serve well, you should be more considerate."

  "It's nothing, my brother is a decent guy, unlike us. You go ahead and take care of your business."

  Dandan responded with a sound, leading the group of girls under her out of the private room. Meanwhile, those few half-grown boys had also let loose, and after downing several cups of pure Scotch whisky, they immediately became bold and unrestrained, some drawing their fists, others shaking their cups, having a great time.

  "What's your name?" Chu Yule was delighted to see Zhou Hao and the others drinking freely, and he didn't want to drag himself into it, so after drinking alone for a while, he felt that the girl in front of him looked familiar, but he still couldn't confirm it, and he couldn't help but ask softly.

  This is the girl's first day at work, twenty years old, and she has been dreaming of a beautiful future since childhood. However, among countless beautiful dreams, she never thought that her first job would be as a "miss". Life always has many helplessness... There are too many things in the world that cannot be chosen by oneself...

  The girl relaxed her hands that had been clenched white with tension and tried to keep herself calm enough to reply, "My name is Sweetie."

  Looking at the young man in front of her, who was obviously much younger than herself, the girl felt a sudden sense of relief and celebration that her first client was such a young man. Although it felt a bit strange, it was still better than accompanying those old men with their bodies reeking of copper.

  "Sweet... you wouldn't be surnamed Sweet with a given name of Sweet, would you? I want to know what your surname is?" Chu Yu asked again with a smile, trying to confirm his own guess.

  Gazing at Chu Yu's dark and profound eyes, the girl suddenly felt that she couldn't treat him as a child anymore. Those eyes seemed to hide countless stories, with an otherworldly gaze. Although this feeling only flashed by for a moment, the girl still subconsciously said her name out loud, "I'm Su Tiantian."

  "Indeed..." Chu Yu couldn't help but furrow his brow, remaining silent for a moment before pouring three full cups of Chivas and downing them in one go. Only then did he put down the cup and say calmly, "Do you still remember what I said when I brought you over?"

  "You're saying you know me or have seen me before..." Su Tiantian's expression showed a hint of panic, unease.

  "I don't know you, but I know your sister." Chu Yu said astonishingly.

  The girl was taken aback and involuntarily shrunk her slender body, saying very nervously: "You know..."

  "That's right, I know Su Jingyi very well, because she is both my first love and current girlfriend."

  As soon as she heard the three words "Su Jingyi", the girl trembled like being electrocuted, her face turned pale and said: "You are Xiao Yi..."

  "Oh? Has Xiao Jing ever mentioned me to you...?" Chu Yu's mouth curled up into a knowing smile as he said, "Xiao Jing and even your family members shouldn't know that you work here, right?"

  Although Su Sweet knew clearly that the boy in front of her was just a junior high school student, under Chu Yu's profound gaze, she couldn't muster up any intention to deceive.

  "Please, I beg of you, don't tell anyone about what happened today. If Xiaojing finds out, I...I really won't be able to live anymore..." The girl's eyes had already welled up with two lines of clear tears.

  "It's clear that you're a good girl, and without any compelling reason, why would you come to this kind of place to work? Tell me the reason, maybe I can help you." After confirming that the "miss" he had accidentally picked was Su Jingyi's sister, Chu Yu had already made up his mind to help her.

  Su Sweet nervously glanced at Zhou Hao and the others, who were still drinking enthusiastically, and only after confirming that no one else had noticed what was happening here did she stammer: "Don't ask me anymore, okay? Xiao Jing has been mentioning you in front of me recently. I don't know why you came to this kind of place, but I trust Xiao Jing's judgment. You're a pretty good guy. If you really want Xiao Jing to have a good life, then don't ask me again. People always have their own difficulties..."

  "You don't want to say, I won't force you. Maybe I can learn the truth from Xiaojing instead. Of course, please rest assured that I won't reveal what happened when we met here."

  "No way, Xiao Jing doesn't know anything, don't ask her." Su Tiantian almost subconsciously blurted out.

  "Oh? That's a bit difficult. Given my relationship with Xiaojing, helping you is an unquestionable matter, but you're not willing to reveal the details, nor do you let me ask Xiaojing, so there's only one possibility left - you don't believe I have the ability to help you get out of trouble."

  "Is this still the thinking that a junior high school student should have?"

  Su Tiantian had already completely excluded Chu Yu from the ranks of minors, her silver teeth clenched, her eyebrows furrowed for a moment, and suddenly she picked up the glass full of Chivas Regal on the table, tilted her head back and drank it all in one gulp. Unable to hold her liquor, her pretty face quickly turned bright red, and then she said: "Okay, you want to know, I'll tell you, but you must swear that this matter absolutely cannot be let Xiao Jing know, can you? I...I'm afraid she won't be able to accept this matter..."

  "Go ahead, I won't tell Xiaojing even if you make me swear. As long as it's something that will have a bad influence on her, I'll take the responsibility." Chu Yu said with certainty.

  Su Tiantian's psychological defense line relaxed, and she poured out her words like a dam breaking. The burden and pressure on this sophomore student for nearly two months were really too heavy to bear, and it was an unbearable weight that couldn't be shared with anyone. At this moment, after being asked by Chu Yu several times, Su Tiantian could no longer control her emotions, and the tears that had been welling up in her eyes finally fell.

  Su Jingyi and Su Tiantian are four years apart, when Su Jingyi was only two months old, their father died in a car accident, the burden of raising two daughters and supporting this single-parent family fell on their mother Liu Sufen.

  At that time, as a textile factory worker, Liu Suifen relied on her meager salary to raise her two daughters. During the most difficult times, she even worked three part-time jobs at once, working 18 hours a day, and sold blood several times to raise money for her two daughters to attend school.

  The huge life pressure made Liu Su Fen, who was only in her early forties, have white hair on both sides of her temples. After years of overwork and illness, she fell ill and two months ago, Liu Su Fen fainted at the textile machine and was sent to the hospital. At that time, the factory leader immediately notified Su Tian Tian, a sophomore student at East China Normal University's Economics and Management Department in Shanghai, who rushed to the hospital.

  Under Liu Su Fen's repeated insistence, she was discharged from the hospital despite the doctor's advice. Two days later, when Su Tiantian went to the hospital to pick up her medical records, she was shocked by the ruthless diagnosis. When she learned that her mother had contracted leukemia, Su Tiantian knelt down in front of the attending physician, "Please... my mom is suffering so much, she hasn't enjoyed the blessings of having children yet, she can't die, please save my mom..."

  The girl's plea moved many people present, and the doctor in charge told her that only the US National Cancer Center might have a chance to cure Liu Suifen. Although she had not yet reached the late stage of leukemia, if she could not go there for hospitalization within half a year, even if all the famous doctors and good medicine in the world were gathered later on, it would be too late.

  Su Tian Tian seemed to have grasped a lifeline at that moment, searching the internet everywhere for relevant information. However, after organizing a thick stack of materials, she felt wave after wave of powerlessness.

  The hospitalization fee at the National Cancer Center in the United States is $600,000 a year, not to mention the expensive medication and advanced equipment costs. Such a staggering number left her speechless, being only a sophomore.

  Liu Su Fen's medical records were hidden by Su Tian Tian. Before the huge medical expenses were resolved, she was unwilling to let her younger sister who had only graduated from junior high school and her hardworking mother bear this heavy burden together.

  A month ago, Su Tiantian tried to work three part-time jobs at the same time every day, but eventually gave up. She was well aware that there were only five months left, and even if she gave up her studies and worked 20 hours a day, it would be impossible to raise the huge medical expenses before then. Moreover, she couldn't bear to watch her mother, who had raised her and her sister with great difficulty, pass away in five months.

  After a week of mental struggle, Su Tiantian contacted Dandan, the public relations manager of Yunteng Night, according to the recruitment advertisement on the newspaper.

  She was very clear that Yun Ting Ye was a place of a certain nature at night, and she was also very clear about the nature of the work as a public relations lady, but did she have any other choice?
