Chapter 400: Chapter 400 Ulterior Motives_1

Lu Jing’s impression of Ye Fei and his wife apparently still lingered on the time when they had been driven out of their family, left desolate and helpless.

But her actions were certainly not out of goodwill.

In fact, the job introduction she offered Ye Fei was just a pretext; getting Su Yueru to work at the club was her ultimate goal.

Start as a greeter for a few days, then gradually infiltrate and accompany clients in drinking.

And as the drinking goes on, it leads to the bed.

Ultimately, through intimidation and temptation, control her by various means and turn her into a cash cow.

Having seen Su Yueru several times, Lu Jing even believed that with Su Yueru’s appearance and temperament, she could definitely be groomed into the top card of the club.

That way, the benefits she could reap would be substantial.

Obviously, this was not the first time she had done such a thing.

Only this time, she had made a mistake in her target.

Ye Fei saw right through her cunning intentions, put down his glass, the corners of his mouth curving slightly as he declined, "I appreciate the thought, but I already have other plans and won’t need you to worry about it."

Lu Jing rolled her eyes, "Oh, you have other plans? What good plans could you possibly have?"

Ye Fei couldn’t be bothered to explain, just curled his mouth corner up and remained indifferent.

Seeing that Ye Fei was set in his ways, Lu Jing’s face filled with displeasure immediately.

"Hmph! You don’t know what’s good for you. You don’t want my help? I can’t be bothered to care! Just you wait and don’t come back begging me with regrets later on!"

After that, the three of them casually talked about other things.

Ye Fei discovered that this woman was even more snobbish, opportunistic, mean, and insidious than he remembered.

He couldn’t help but worry for his good brother.

As they were almost done with their meal,

a yellow Ferrari stopped in front of the restaurant, and then a man who looked to be a successful person in his thirties got out of the car and walked straight into the restaurant.

Ye Fei felt the man looked somewhat familiar but couldn’t remember who he was for the moment.

During this process, through the glass, Lu Jing’s foxy eyes never left the man.

And she even subconsciously posed in a coyly shy manner that betrayed a woman’s spring emotions.

Witnessing this, Ye Fei’s eyebrows wrinkled immediately, sensing something amiss.

But he didn’t let on, as he picked up a piece of braised pork and put it in his mouth.

"Tsk tsk tsk, just look at that guy, probably not even thirty, yet he’s dressed in designer labels and driving a luxury car. Then look at you! All the money you make in a year couldn’t even afford one of his wheel rims!"

Without regard for the setting, Lu Jing pinched Lu Dabao’s ear.

After swallowing the food in his mouth, Lu Dabao mumbled, "If I were just a little luckier, I’d definitely be no worse off than him."

"Stop making excuses and looking for reasons out there when you’re just not putting in the effort!" Lu Jing sipped her drink and scoffed disdainfully, though her eyes still flitted towards the successful man.

Watching this, Ye Fei couldn’t stand it and spoke up for his friend, "Your words are unfair. Dabao is diligent; it’s just that you haven’t seen it."

"Cut it out! What’s the use of being diligent? People like you who lack ability, no matter how hard you try, you’re destined to work for others all your lives!"

"When others sit, you stand; when others stand, you kneel. That’s the difference in level between people!"

After explaining for a while, Lu Jing impatiently rolled her eyes at Ye Fei.

"Forget it, talking to someone like you is a waste of breath. You’ll never understand that feeling of supremacy, of looking down on all the other mountains."

Lu Jing then cast her gaze back to the man, tilting her chin up.

"But him, he’s different. Just one look and you can tell he’s one of the elites, an existence you’ll never be able to catch up with."

Just as Lu Jing finished speaking, she noticed the man’s gaze suddenly falling on her side, and he quickened his pace towards them with a look of pleasant surprise.

Lu Jing thought the man was coming for her, and her heart fluttered. She unconsciously tugged at her straps, exposing her cleavage.

Unexpectedly, the man walked right past her without giving her a second glance.

Instead, he went straight to Ye Fei and gave a ninety-degree bow.

"Mr. Ye, I pay my respects to you."

"You are?"

Ye Fei still couldn’t recall who the man was.

"I’m Zheng He, the president of Donghua Group. You’ve forgotten, the last time you dined with Mr. Bai, I was there pouring wine for you throughout."

As Ye Fei was about to respond, Lu Jing interrupted,

"Hey, little brother, I think you’ve mistaken someone else for your acquaintance," she said, giggling behind her hand.

In her view, the idea that the chairman of the prestigious Donghua Group would serve such a nobody was preposterous!

Absolutely mistaken identity!

But Zheng He was very certain.

"Miss, Mr. Ye is so respected and esteemed, there’s no way I could mistake him for someone else."

"Hahaha!"

Lu Jing laughed even louder.

"Him? Respected and esteemed?"

Lu Jing could not associate Ye Fei with that idiom in any way.

"He’s nothing but a son-in-law from a small family, now a discarded pawn, with nothing to his name, a mere pauper. And you say he’s respected and esteemed? Young man, you’re too humorous!"

Finishing her words, Zheng He’s eyebrows shot up in indignation.

If not for the consideration that she was dining with Ye Fei, she might be a friend,

he would have slapped her right then and there.

Just then, Lu Jing’s phone rang, and her face changed upon answering. Saying "I’ll be right there," she dashed out the door to hail a taxi and left, abandoning Lu Dabao in the process.

After she left, Zheng He glanced at Lu Dabao before saying to Ye Fei, "Mr. Ye, may I have a word with you?"

The two stepped aside, and Zheng He got straight to the point, "It’s obvious that Mr. Ye must be good friends with that gentleman, and that woman is your friend’s girlfriend, correct?"

Ye Fei nodded, "What insights do you have?"

Leaning in a bit closer, Zheng He spoke in a low voice with a slight frown, "I really shouldn’t say this, but I can’t conceal it from you. Actually, I’ve seen that woman before, she works at a high-end club."

"Well, to put it bluntly, she’s a prostitute."
