Xu Weilai rose to greet him, but the man who entered wasn’t Mr. Xu. Instead, it was his son, Master Xu—Xu Shuai.

Xu Shuai was a very close friend of Gu Yu. In the past, when Gu Yu had brought Xu Weilai along as his date for various functions, he had introduced Xu Shuai to her. In a sense, they could be counted as old acquaintances.

She paused in shock for a few seconds before quickly recovering and pasting a smile on her face. She stuck her hand out, “h.e.l.lo, Master Xu.”

Xu Shuai ignored her outstretched hand. He arrogantly looked up and down at her respectful posture and mocked disdainfully, “Xu Weilai, you’re really good at waiting.”

Xu Weilai acted as if she hadn’t heard a thing. She didn’t let embarra.s.sment overcome her. Instead, she courteously pulled a chair out and a.s.sumed a subservient pose as she said, “Please have a seat, Master Xu.”

Xu Shuai entered with long strides but didn’t sit on the chair that Xu Weilai had offered. Instead, he pulled out another chair and sat down with much aplomb. He snapped his fingers and called out to the waiter, “Bring me some alcohol!”

The servers placed the drinks that he wanted on the table, bottle by bottle; there were ten bottles of hard liquor!

Xu Weilai stood rooted to the spot. She had managed to guess what his intentions were.

As expected, Xu Shuai opened his mouth and spoke, “Xu Weilai, you want me to finance your company? Sure! Once you finish these ten bottles of liquor, I’ll sign the contract immediately!” With that, he slammed the contract down on the table.

Xu Weilai looked at Xu Shuai and didn’t say a word.

This explained why the Xu Corporation had called to arrange for a meeting even after they had rejected their request for financing. It had been Xu Shuai’s plan all along just to humiliate her.

Drinking these ten bottles of hard liquor at one go was going to cost her at least half her life!

“Why? You don’t dare to?” Xu Shuai folded his arms and mocked. “I thought you’d do anything for money!”

Xu Weilai was silent for a few more seconds before finally responding, “Xu Shuai, have I ever offended you?”
