Chapter 8: The scheming ex-girlfriend comes to compete, and is so shocked by the stunningly beautifu
Liu Qian, wearing twelve-centimeter red-soled high heels, swayed her hips as she stepped into the internet cafe.
The fresh negative oxygen ions in the air made her pause for a moment, but she quickly fixed her gaze on Lin Xian.
A Mediterranean man with a beer belly followed her in and put his arm around her slender waist.
"Qianqian, is this your ex-boyfriend who couldn't even afford a designer handbag?"
The Mediterranean man deliberately showed off the gleaming gold Rolex Submariner on his wrist, making people dizzy.
Liu Qian covered her nose and glanced around out of the corner of her eye.
"Honey, don't get your clothes dirty. There's not even a clean place to step in here."
She walked with a cat-like gait to Lin Xian's computer desk, and tapped the desktop with her manicured fingers.
"Lin Xian, back then I told you you couldn't give me the life I wanted, and you still wouldn't accept it."
"Look at me now, I have a driver when I go out, and I don't have to look at the price when I buy a bag, while you've gone back to the village to be a net cafe manager with a fixed salary."
A few middle-aged women who hadn't yet dispersed outside craned their necks to peer inside, whispering amongst themselves.
"This woman is dressed like a vixen, and she speaks so rudely."
"She's hooked up with a rich guy now. Look at that guy, he's as fat as a pig, and he's hugging that young girl."
Hearing the chatter at the door, the Mediterranean man felt a surge of pride and proudly puffed out his belly.
He slammed the G-Class car keys on the table, making a crisp sound.
"Kid, face reality, beautiful women are kept with money."
"I own three large factories, and their daily turnover is more than you'll earn in your entire life."
"You're not even worthy of carrying a beautiful woman's shoes in this lifetime. Just rot away in this crappy internet cafe."
Lin Xian leaned back in the ergonomic chair, not even lifting his eyelids.
He took a sip of chilled watermelon juice, his Adam's apple bobbing as he swallowed with a satisfying sound.
"Are you done talking?"
"After you finish speaking, close the door. Don't let the flies in; they'll ruin my gaming mood."
Liu Qian was so angry that her lips were trembling, and her face, covered with thick foundation, was as stiff as a steel plate.
"You're so stubborn! A penniless wretch like you can't even find a decent girlfriend; you're destined to be a bachelor for life!"
The door to the lounge was pushed open from the inside, and a series of light footsteps could be heard.
"Master, your chilled grapes are peeled."
The voice was cool yet carried a hint of deliberate coquettishness, like a cat's claws scratching at the heart.
Liu Qian and the Mediterranean man turned their heads at the same time, their gazes glued together, unable to look away even a fraction of an inch.
Su Qinghan walked at the very front.
This once-powerful, aloof female CEO of Shanghai is now dressed in a custom-made black and white French maid outfit.
The lace skirt just reached her knees, revealing a pair of long legs covered in semi-transparent white stockings.
The contrast between her usual aloof demeanor and this outfit is striking.
She was carrying a white jade plate containing peeled, chilled mutant grapes.
Following to her left was Xia Anran, dressed in a pink cat-ear maid outfit.
The innocent village beauty's face was so red it looked like it could drip water, and her fluffy cat tail swayed nervously behind her.
On the right is Mu Xiaotian, an e-sports adorable girl dressed in a dark Lolita-style maid outfit.
Holding a fragrant feather fan, she skipped and hopped over to Lin Xian.
"Boss, I've already got you matched in ranked games. How about I play support for you this time?"
When these three stunningly beautiful girls stood together, the brightness of the entire internet cafe lobby seemed to increase several degrees.
Those low-quality internet celebrity faces don't even qualify as background figures in front of them.
The Mediterranean man stared, his eyes wide, a long trail of glistening drool running down his face.
His saliva dripped directly onto his expensive custom-made suit, leaving a water stain.
The car keys in his hand fell to the ground with a "clatter" and rolled to Su Qinghan's feet.
Liu Qian looked down at her designer dress, which she was so proud of.
Then look at the sense of sophistication that emanates from them.
Her proud sense of superiority shattered into countless pieces, beyond repair.
In terms of figure, face, and temperament, she wasn't even qualified to be a handbag maid for these three girls.
The middle-aged women watching the commotion outside the door let out deafening gasps.
"My goodness, where did Lin Xian find so many fairies?!"
"That woman dared to mock Lin Xian for not having a girlfriend; she's really slapped in the face."
"I knew Lin Xian was destined for great things. Any one of these three girls is a million times better than that surgically enhanced face."
Liu Qian dug her nails deep into her palms, gritting her teeth and refusing to admit defeat.
"That's impossible, where did you hire these extras from?"
"You've even pulled out your life savings to save face in front of me!"
Su Qinghan's face turned cold, and the oppressive feeling of being in a high position for a long time was instantly released.
"Lin Xian's wealth could buy your beat-up Mercedes and smash it for fun."
"Who do you think you are, to dare yell at him like that?"
She didn't bother to look at Liu Qian again, picked up a chilled grape, and gently put it into Lin Xian's mouth.
Xia Anran mustered her courage and gently fanned Lin Xian's shoulder with a feather fan.
"Brother Xian is such a good person, it's your own fault for being blind and not knowing how to cherish him. From now on, we will take care of Brother Xian."
The Mediterranean man had long forgotten about Liu Qian and was rubbing his hands together, wanting to get closer to Su Qinghan.
His greasy eyes scanned back and forth between the three girls.
"What's the point of these three beautiful ladies following this penniless internet cafe manager?"
"Brother will take you to the city for a Michelin-starred meal. You can pick any kind of bun you want!"
Lin Xian sneered and tapped his fingers on the table.
He was just about to let the internet cafe's smart security system teach this bald man a lesson.
Mu Xiaotian kicked the Mediterranean man's shinbone directly, her hard heel digging deep into his calf.
The screams of a pig being slaughtered echoed throughout the internet cafe, and the Mediterranean man clutched his leg, rolling on the ground in pain.
Liu Qian's face turned deathly pale; she knew she had completely lost face today.
She ignored the man rolling on the ground and fled in her high heels.
He was running too fast, and one of his twelve-centimeter heels broke off on the threshold, causing him to fall flat on his face.
The crowd watching outside burst into laughter.
As the two fled in a disheveled state, three girls burst into cheerful laughter from inside the internet cafe.
Su Qinghan let out a long sigh of relief and placed the jade plate in her hand on the table.
"Did I act well just now? That woman's face turned as green as if she'd swallowed a fly."
Mu Xiaotian took off her shoes, which were a bit uncomfortable, and stepped barefoot onto the soft, sound-absorbing carpet.
"Sister Su has such a strong presence; she crushed that green tea bitch with just one sentence."
Xia Anran blushed and tugged at the cat's tail behind her, her watery eyes looking at Lin Xian.
"This skirt is too short. I wouldn't wear it if it weren't to help Xian-ge get revenge."
Because they were united against a common enemy, the three girls, who were originally wary of each other, miraculously grew closer.
Lin Xian swallowed the grapes in his mouth and clapped his hands in satisfaction.
"You did a good job. We'll give you an extra meal tonight. Order whatever you like."
He stretched out a big yawn and loosened his wrists.
"Alright, the bystanders are all cleared out. It's time to show you my true skills."
Lin Xian put on the futuristic quantum headphones and gripped the mouse.
Mu Xiaotian quickly sat back down in her seat, ready to witness her boss's gaming skills.
Lin Xian clicked on the icon on the desktop, looking forward to a satisfying and crushing victory.
A red light flashed in the center of the screen, and a glaring notification of a network outage popped up.
Lin Xian stared at the characters flashing on the screen, then ripped off his headphones and slammed them onto the table.
"Who's the kind soul who cuts the fiber optic cable when I'm ranking up? Believe me or not, I'll launch a satellite right onto your roof!"
