The President is Being Shameless Again
chapter-165

Lin Chu, “…”

How did Yan Beicheng find employees like these?!

“Where are the other employees of the Red Roof?” Yan Beicheng looked behind the general manager. They were all management level.

The general manager immediately explained, “They’re still attending to service in the rooms.”

“Get them all out here. It won’t delay anything. It would take only a moment for them to get to know my wife. If she came here on her own, they would know who she is and take good care of her. If the customers have any problems with it, get them to come and see me,” Yan Beicheng said.

No customer would have a problem, especially since Yan Beicheng had voiced out his decision.

The general manager immediately got everyone to come out.

Not long after, all the waiters were out. It was a crowd of people and everyone squeezed at the entrance.

Before Yan Beicheng said anything, the general manager immediately said, “This is Mrs. President.”

“Hello, Mrs. President!” Everyone said in unison. One wondered how long it took for them to practice that.

The general manager immediately went to Lin Chu to claim credit, “I got them to practice this beforehand. Even though some of them may be working but at least those with less work on hand can greet you.”

Lin Chu, “…”

This was definitely a dedicated team!

After meeting her, the general manager would later train them in private on how to best serve Lin Chu. He quickly got everyone back to their working stations.

He later moved towards Yan Beicheng to report, “Mr. President, Master Chu and the others have arrived.”

Yan Beicheng nodded. The general manager hesitated before adding quietly, “There’s also Miss Jiang. She’s here as well.”

The management level at Yan Hui’s headquarters and any companies under their umbrella were well aware of Yan Beicheng’s bad relationship with Jiang Changdai. They were not aware of the reason behind it, but they all knew that they should not take orders from Jiang Changdai. It would upset Yan Beicheng if they did.

In the beginning, it was difficult to grasp how they should treat Jiang Changdai until there was once when Jiang Changdai had brought her friends to Sheng Yue. She kept giving orders all around and did not pay for her meal at all. Due to Jiang Changdai’s status, the general manager of Sheng Yue could not do or say much. When Yan Beicheng found out about it, he took the payment of the meal out of the general manager’s salary.

After that, everyone knew to treat Jiang Changdai as a normal guest and there should not be any special treatment.

Besides that, Jiang Changdai was blacklisted in Sheng Yue by Yan Beicheng. Sheng Yue had never taken in Jiang Changdai as a guest after that.

As for the Red Roof, such an awkward situation had yet to happen. This was because Red Roof was situated quite far away, and it was not easy for Jiang Changdai to visit. After what happened at Sheng Yue, Jiang Changdai did not want to come to the Red Roof to spend her money. It could be that Jiang Changdai found the Red Roof to be too expensive.

However, Jiang Changdai came over to visit today. It surprised the general manager that it was the same day when Yan Beicheng was visiting. So, he had to treat this matter seriously.

Yan Beicheng pulled his face and the general manager knew that Yan Beicheng had misunderstood. He quickly explained, “Miss Jiang booked a room on her own. She’s not with Master Chu and the others. Miss Jiang was here first. Judging by her actions, she does not know that you’re meeting your friends here.”

Yan Beicheng’s expression looked slightly better but still grim. “Don’t allow her to put it on a tab and don’t put it on mine. Get her to pay for herself. If she is unable to pay, just call the police.”

The general manager, “…”

It looked like the relationship between this mother and son was very bad.

The general manager led Yan Beicheng and Lin Chu to their room. Chu Zhaoyang and the others were already there.

The rooms in this club were much more casual. It was like a salon, and not as formal as Sheng Yue’s private dining rooms.

The room was huge. It could fit a big round table enough for 20 people. There was another room which was an activity room that had a snooker table and some motion sensor games.

The moment one walked in, one could see a big living room with long wooden chairs and wooden tables. Lin Chu did not know much about them but judging by the carvings, they must be expensive.

The whole room emanated an atmosphere of low-profile luxury.

The children’s laughter could be heard from the activity room. Shao Huai had already picked up Yan Ningbai and Mo Jingxi from school and brought them over. They were currently playing with Qi Youxuan and the others.

Chu Zhaoyang and the others were chatting in the living room. None of them were smoking but everyone had a lollipop in their mouths. It was a scene that Lin Chu could not bear to look at for too long.

Yan Beicheng sat down with Lin Chu and it looked like he was taking out his phone from his pocket. Instead, he took out his phone along with that little red book.

Everyone, “…”

Nan Jingheng pointed at Yan Beicheng as his hand trembled, he called out in a huff, “Take a look, just take a look. What did I just say? He was sure to show off his marriage license. Come on, everyone pays up, one hundred Yuan per person!”

Nan Jingheng put up his palms to request the payment from every person in the room.

Chu Zhaoyang did not say a word and took out his wallet. He took out a red piece of dollar note and placed it on Nan Jingheng’s hands.

Han Zhuoli looked like he had a toothache as he slapped the red bill on Nan Jingheng’s palm and said, “Yan Beicheng, could you have just held it in a little?!”

Yan Beicheng curled his lips and snorted condescendingly.

“He’s been acting this way since yesterday and kept pretending that his marriage license fell out accidentally just to make me look at it! Just tell me, is there someone more of a show-off than he is? How annoying is that! When he did not have a girlfriend and I had one, did I ever show off to him?” Nan Jingheng said unhappily. He felt that he had suffered enough humiliation from Yan Beicheng.

Yan Beicheng gave him a condescending look, “They were what you referred to as girlfriends? That’s you being a hooligan. Dating them without marriage in mind is hooliganism. What’s there worth for you to show off? Do you know what I think? You wanted to show off, but you broke up before you could, isn’t it?”

Nan Jingheng, “…”

He was going to fight it out with Yan Beicheng!

“Brother Chengzhi wasn’t this much of a show-off!” Nan Jingheng was not about to back down.

Yan Beicheng snorted, “When he was showing off, you weren’t there to see it because you were overseas. You were lucky then, otherwise, you’d be so mad over those two brothers showing off together that you’d leave for overseas immediately again after returning home.”

Nan Jingheng, “…”

So, this was Yan Beicheng making up for the time he had to endure Qi Chengzhi and Qi Chenglin showing off?

After a while, the general manager personally came in with the waiter to help serve the dishes onto the dining table.

Song Yu got up and walked to the activity room to get the children out for dinner. The general manager instructed a few waiters to bring in some baby chairs as well.

The children must have gone crazy playing as they ran out laughing hysterically. Nan Jingheng watched Mo Jingxi curiously as he laughed happily. There was a dimple on his face.

Han Zhuoli waved his hands in front of Nan Jingheng, “What are you looking at? Why’re you staring at someone else’s child this way?”

Lucky for him that Mo Jingxi was so busy playing that he did not notice this, otherwise, he would have been scared off by Nan Jingheng’s stares.

Nan Jingheng collected his thoughts and realized Chu Zhaoyang was also quietly watching him. It was like Chu Zhaoyang could see through his thoughts.

He shook his head, “I’ve had this feeling since yesterday. Now that I’m looking at him again, it feels somewhat familiar, but I can’t think of who he resembles?”

“Who is it? Are you referring to Jingxi?” Lin Chu overheard this and could not help asking.

Nan Jingheng nodded but quickly acted normal as usual. He laughed as if nothing important had happened, “Well, it would be normal that he had a similar look to someone random.”

Lin Chu did not think much of it upon seeing him laughing so casually. Everyone headed for dinner at the table.

Nan Jingheng and the others might have been sarcastic to Yan Beicheng the whole time, but they were truly happy for Yan Beicheng.

The men drank freely because Lin Chu and their other halves were able to drive. This gave them an extra incentive to drink. Lin Chu and the other women had to take care of the children, so they did not drink at all.

The men did not hold back. Nan Jingheng got the waiter to prepare a row of red wine and hard liquor to mix it up as their drinks.

These usually dashing men who looked after their image ere now acting like juveniles who had just reached their drinking age. They acted exactly like they had when they were younger. Everyone had their ties and collars loosened as they played around and joked with each other. They could not care less about their image.

Lin Chu spotted Chu Zhaoyang poured half a glass of whiskey into Yan Beicheng’s red wine when he was not looking.

Lin Chu, “…”

Chu Zhaoyang discreetly placed back the whiskey bottle at a side when he spotted Lin Chu watching him.

Chu Zhaoyang, “…”

Lin Chu held back her laughter as she turned to continue chatting with Song Yu and the rest. She pretended not to see anything.

It was a happy day for these men, so she just let them be.

“Hahahaha, Lin Chu, did Cheng’er tell you about how pretty he looked when he was young? He would look like an adorable little girl if he put on a wig. When he was in kindergarten, a young boy ran up to him to tell him that he wanted to marry him when he grew up. It made Yan Beicheng so angry. When everyone was having their afternoon nap, he took a penknife and shave that little boy bald. That little boy cried until the afternoon when his parents came to pick him up. It definitely caused him a lifetime of psychological problems!”

“…” Yan Beicheng quietly took his glass of whiskey induced red wine and poured it down Han Zhuoli’s throat as he was laughing heartily.

He had seen Chu Zhaoyang secretly pouring in that whiskey!

Chu Zhaoyang, who seldom spoke, suddenly said, “That was why Yan Beicheng ate until he became a little fatso.”

After that, no little boy ever said they wanted to marry him.

Yan Beicheng, “…”

Lin Chu and the rest laughed until they could not move anymore.

While everyone was drinking happily, Yan Beicheng took out his marriage license and wave Chu Zhaoyang and the rest over, “Come on over this way, everybody. Let’s get a picture together. Song Yu, could you help us take a picture?”

Song Yu took Yan Beicheng’s phone while Chu Zhaoyang and the rest congregated around Yan Beicheng to position themselves. They made sure that Yan Beicheng was in the middle.

Yan Beicheng, who had too much to drink, placed his marriage license right in front of himself as he smiled breezily.

Song Yu, “…”

She took a few pictures and quickly used Yan Beicheng’s phone to log in to WeChat so she could send them into the group chat in case Yan Beicheng got sober and delete the pictures in regret.

These men had played around so much tonight but when they were done with their drinking and were prepared to head home, every one of them suddenly had a look of elegance and walked out the room in an upright manner.

Their loosened ties were put back in place while their collars were properly buttoned up. Their coats hung on their arms. They may look properly dressed but there was a look of casual easiness to them.

These men had tidied themselves up right before they left the room. They were pretty much image-conscious people.

Besides the light smell of alcohol on them, no one showed how much they have had to drink just now. None of them showed any clue of them being dead drunk to the public.

Some guests from a nearby room walked out. There were three to five young men who could not walk straight. They were good-looking men but they were so drunk that they slurred in their speeches. They spoke filthily and sounded rude. It was an ugly sight and such a big difference compared to Yan Beicheng and his friends.

Yan Beicheng and the rest stood there looking like they were untouched by the impurities of life. Even being near them made people feel like they were polluting this group of people.

As they were waiting for the valet to bring their cars over at the Red Roof, a man and woman turned toward them from the end of the corridor.

Lin Chu looked over and was stunned.

It was Jiang Changdai and a strange man.

They had enjoyed themselves so much tonight that she had forgotten that Jiang Changdai was also here.

Besides, they had been drinking for a long time tonight and did not expect Jiang Changdai to stay as long.

The young man next to her looked to be younger than Yan Beicheng, he was closer to Nan Jingheng’s age but seemed to be more mature than Nan Jingheng.

Jiang Changdai was all smiled as she was chatting with the young man. Jiang Changdai looked much happier than usual with whatever they were chatting about.

Her manicured nails covered with red nail polish gently covered her lips. There was a gentle, loving look in her eyes as she watched the young man.

That was a look that was not even seen when she was with Yan Zhiqing or Lu Weining.

It was not just love, it was also a need to get into the young man’s good books.

As they were walking towards them, they both saw Yan Beicheng.

Jiang Changdai’s relaxed, smiling expression disappeared. Her face went grim as she frowned slightly.

There was a cold look on her face when she saw Yan Beicheng, there was no sign of love nor any gentleness in her emotions.

Lin Chu was not sure if she had mistaken, but she thought she saw a flash of hatred on Jiang Changdai’s face.

She must have mistaken!

Even if Jiang Changdai did not treat Yan Beicheng as her son, she should not be showing that look of hatred for him.

When the young man had her side saw Yan Beicheng, he was momentarily stunned. A look of sarcasm quickly appeared on his face and there was a gleam of challenge in his eyes.

This young man was good-looking and dashing. Lin Chu thought he looked familiar. She must have seen him somewhere before.

Lin Chu was trying to remember where she had seen this face when she noticed the malevolent smile on his face. She forgot about her initial curiosity about his identity and frowned as she became consciously cautious of these two people.

The young man had a malicious smile on his face. It made Lin Chu uncomfortable looking at him. Even if he was quite good-looking, he gave off an aura of wickedness. He looked like someone who preferred the unorthodox route and there was something about him that made people feel uneasy.

Lin Chu did not understand how Jiang Changdai could not like a son as upright and decent as Yan Beicheng but preferred someone with a nasty outlook like this young man.

Whatever standard Jiang Changdai has, it was definitely blinded by pork lard!

“I didn’t expect for you to be here,” Jiang Changdai walked toward Yan Beicheng and said coldly. Her lips pursed unhappily.

It was a rude attitude she carried without care that this was the lobby. There would be guests appearing at any time and she did not respect the fact that Yan Beicheng’s friends were all present.

The only thing Lin Chu felt relieved about was that Chu Zhaoyang and the others were well aware of the situation between Yan Beicheng and Jiang Changdai. Much like Yan Beicheng, they did not care for Jiang Changdai and have never attempted to be extra nice to her.

They would never make fun of Yan Beicheng over Jiang Changdai’s attitude towards him.

“This place belongs to me,” Yan Beicheng said coldly.

“Since it belongs to you, how could you make me pay for coming here?!” Jiang Changdai quickly said.

“…” Yan Beicheng gave Jiang Changdai a hateful glance.

Lin Chu found it strange that even though Yan Beicheng had never taken the trouble to see Jiang Changdai, he would at least maintain a respectful outlook. At the very least, he would still refer to her as Miss Jiang. He had never given her a hateful look before.

But tonight, the look in his eyes was so clearly filled with hate.

“What is that look you are giving me?! I am your mother, is that a look you should give me?! There are so many people here today. Let them be the judge of how bad a son you are!” Jiang Changdai pointed at Yan Beicheng angrily.

“Miss Jiang, when did you learn to be a roguish scoundrel and incurred the habit of creating terrible scenes. What an embarrassing act for the Jiang family to bear,” Lin Chu said coldly.

The moment she said the words, she could feel someone’s gaze upon her.

Lin Chu frowned as she looked over, it was the young man who was by Jiang Changdai’s side.

The young man suddenly nodded and there was a teasing expression on him as he watched Lin Chu’s face, “Master Yan, aren’t you going to introduce us? This is…”

“Manager Xun,” Yan Beicheng immediately interrupted the young man, his voice sounded an octave higher.

Manager Xun had stayed quietly by Yan Beicheng’s side. He had maintained his distance with Yan Beicheng until he was needed. The moment Yan Beicheng called out to him, he immediately went over to him.

Lin Chu felt there was something familiar with the general manager’s movements. The way he ran over made her realized that he was acting just like those eunuchs who served royalties on television!

Manager Xun did not worry at all about being embarrassed in front of his superior. He acted especially natural, “Mr. President, I’m waiting for your orders.”

“From now onwards, Red Roof will not accept the patronage of Miss Jiang and Mr. Lu. Anyone with the surname Lu from Ning City will not be welcome here,” Yan Beicheng said coldly.

At this time, their cars have arrived at the entrance.

Yan Beicheng could not be bothered anymore with Jiang Changdai and that young man. He turned to whisk away Lin Chu and the two children.

He could hear Jiang Changdai say to the young man behind him, “Zhenghang, don’t lower yourself to his level. He has never treated me as a mother since he was young.”

She sounded so gentle when she was talking to Lu Zhenghang, but the moment she mentioned Yan Beicheng, she sounded so cold that one would never have guessed that he was her son.

Lin Chu nearly rushed over to give Jiang Changdai a good scolding, but she felt Yan Beicheng’s hands held on tight to hers.

Lin Chu looked up at him, but Yan Beicheng did not look back. His eyes looked straight to the front. Lin Chu knew that he was in fact, not looking at anything in particular.

She could only see that freezing look on the side of his face. He had never looked this cold before. It was a rage similar to when he mentioned Jiang Changdai’s betrayal of Yan Huaiyuan. Lin Chu could see him clenching his teeth.

Lin Chu did not say a word and took the two children out with her.

Han Zhuoli and the rest said goodbye without batting an eyelid. They acted as if they did not see Jiang Changdai and were not affected by her presence at all.

Yan Beicheng sat in the passenger’s seat. The two children felt the tension in the air and sat quietly in their seats. Yan Ningbai, the chatterbox, really wanted to say something. The only thing he could do was take out his phone to type some words on the screen to show Mo Jingxi.

Mo Jingxi typed something back and both of them started playing something similar to passing notes in class.

Lin Chu was about to start the car when there came a vicious knock at the car window.

Lin Chu rolled down the window curiously. Before she could take a good look at the person outside, a hand suddenly came hitting towards her.

Lin Chu had a shock and quickly retreat toward Yan Beicheng. At the same time, she could feel Yan Beicheng pulling her back.

It was lucky that she moved fast but even so, the hand brushed against her face. It was there was a distance between the hand and her, the hand only gently brushed her without causing too much damage.

When the long fingernails brushed past her face, she could not help feeling a shiver ran through her.

She was still feeling some trepidation even after taking a breath of relief. If she got hit just now, her face would not only be swollen but would also be scratched by those long fingernails.

Outside the car, Jiang Changdai was also stunned. She had not expected Lin Chu to be driving. She had thought it was Yan Beicheng.

This was because she had never really cared about Yan Beicheng. She did not care about whatever happened to Yan Beicheng. Even if Yan Beicheng was not drunk, one could have easily seen that he had been drinking and should not be driving. But Jiang Changdai had never really taken a good look at Yan Beicheng. Naturally, she would not have thought about this.

Yan Beicheng’s expression became dark. He suddenly opened the door and got out of the car.

When Lin Chu had rolled down the car window, he was still feeling dizzy and did not detect any danger.

It was not until he saw that hand moved in at her that Yan Beicheng suddenly got alert. He did not care if he was in time but the first thing he did was pulled Lin Chu toward him and barely gotten her out of the way.

Lin Chu seemed to still be in shock. Yan Beicheng had already slammed the car door and went over to Jiang Changdai to push her violently away. His face was filled with rage.

Jiang Changdai was pushed back and she staggered several steps backward, far away from the car. She was lucky that Lu Zhenghang caught her from behind.

“Yan Beicheng, I’m your mother! How could you treat me this way?!” Jiang Changdai screamed so shrilly, she almost lost her voice.

She had wanted to say this just now, but Yan Beicheng had immediately pulled Lin Chu away. She had so much to say but was not given the opportunity.

“Other children would treat their mother well, but not you. You wouldn’t even let me visit your businesses. What do you even mean by banning me in public?! I’ve given birth to an ungrateful brat! You wouldn’t even inform me when you got married and treat me as an outsider. Do you think I’m nothing but a beggar?” The more Jiang Changdai talked about it, the angrier she got. She raised her hand to slap Yan Beicheng.

Lin Chu quickly unbuckled her safety belt to get off the car. Based on Yan Beicheng’s relationship with his mother, she was worried he would get a slap from this woman for nothing.

Before Lin Chu could get out of the car, Yan Beicheng had caught hold of Jiang Changdai’s swinging hand.

Lin Chu was so relieved.

She next heard Yan Beicheng taunted her, “Even if I did let you slap me, can you live with the consequences?”

Jiang Changdai’s aging face went bright red. Jiang Changzai had cut her off during this time. All he gave her was thirty thousand Yuan a month as living expenses. It was for her not to be too embarrassed when out in public. It was enough for her to occasionally buy herself a purse or a few new pieces of clothing if she saved for a few months.

As for a place like the Red Roof, she could not even afford to spend here even if she ate and drank nothing for a whole month. The most she could get from that was a pot of Red Roof’s most basic tea.

It could be alcohol talking but on a normal day, he was still able to hold his temper when it came Jiang Changdai, but today, he was unable to take it anymore.

He coldly pushed her arm away and Yan Beicheng said in an unfeeling tone, “If you want me to respect you then do something that could earn my respect! You’ve never treated me as your son, and you want me to respect you? What’re you thinking?! If you could just quietly live your life and stop harassing us, I would still give you some respect on the surface, otherwise, there’s nothing I can give you!”

Yan Beicheng looked at Jiang Changdai as he sneered,” If you still haven’t realized where you stand in all these, I won’t be so civil towards the Jiang family.”

He looked at Lu Zhenghang, who was standing next to Jiang Changdai, with disgust. “Looks like you do like the Lu family a lot. You can’t wait to become Mrs. Lu, can you? You don’t need to worry about it, you’ll never be Mrs. Lu. Since you love Lu Zhenting so much, then just be his mistress your entire life. If my father doesn’t want something, then I won’t allow anyone else to pick it up either!”

Jiang Changdai was so fuelled with raged that she could not stand properly. She quivered and moved back a few unstable steps, but Lu Zhenghang held on to her.

Yan Beicheng could no longer stand looking at them both and turned to return to his car.

Lin Chu was worried that Jiang Changdai would continue with her harassment and quickly drove off.

She purposely drove close to Jiang Changdai before accelerating just to give Jiang Changdai a shock.

Yan Beicheng did not say another word all the way home.

His head was resting against the chair as he closed his eyes. No one knew if it was because of his drinking or because of Jiang Changdai.

…

Back home, Lin Chu got Aunt Zhuang to help with putting the two children to bed.

She had followed Yan Beicheng back to the bedroom. Yan Beicheng was fresh after taking a shower. He sat on the bed with his eyes closed. He looked like he was thinking about something.

Lin Chu was curious about the identity of the young man with Jiang Changdai. She walked to the bedside and saw Yan Beicheng’s tired face. There was so much she wanted to say but she stopped herself and decided to stay silent instead.

Her heart was aching over what Yan Beicheng had endured. It was like someone was holding on tight to her heart and squeezing it hard, it almost felt like exploding.

The more she came into contact with Jiang Changdai, the more she hated this person. Tonight, her hatred for this woman had reached a pinnacle. She hated her so much that she wished that there was no such thing as Jiang Changdai in this world, then Yan Beicheng would not be so sad.

How could such a handsome, outstanding man like this endure so much pain from Jiang Changdai?

Lin Chu did not say a word as she sat next to Yan Beicheng. She stayed silent as she quietly gave him her support.

When she moved close, Yan Beicheng suddenly laid his head on her lap. His handsome, tired face turned towards her abdomen and his arms wrapped around her waist.

Lin Chu did not say anything as well. Her slender, fair fingers ran through his jet-black hair as she gently massaged his head.

He had drunk a little too much tonight, he must have a headache. It would make him feel more comfortable and relaxed if she massaged him.

Yan Beicheng’s eyes stayed shut. He could feel her gentle fingers press against his head, again and again. It felt good and comfortable, with just the right amount of strength. Slowly, he began to relax.

He knew she had soft, nubile fingers. The softness of her fingers often surprised him. Not everyone could massage him the way she could.

Because of that, it was not easy to maintain her strength when she was trying to make him comfortable. She had to use much more force than the average person.

This was why Yan Beicheng grabbed hold of her wrist, “Stop massaging, it’s too tiring for you.”
