""Young Master Lin is here to splurge tonight. He ordered a lot of drinks!"
Jiang Moxi had just changed into her uniform when the manager hurried in, "Everyone go help in private room 886, quick!"
"New girl, you go too."
So, Jiang Moxi followed the others to private room 886.
"What's your name, new girl?"
The girl walking with Jiang Moxi was called Yu Na.
She wore heavy makeup, and had purposely tailored her uniform to accentuate her curves as much as possible compared to the other servers.
But she still disliked walking with other pretty servers, fearing they might steal the affection of the patrons.
Yet with Jiang Moxi looking this ugly even with makeup, she was just the right 'greenery' to set off her own beauty.
Jiang Moxi was unaware of her inner calculations and simply answered: "Jiang Moxi."
"Then I'll call you Moxi. Young Master Lin is very generous, after you enter the private room later, you don't have to try too hard to show off, Young Master Lin will still give you a good tip."
Jiang Moxi nodded and followed Yu Na into the private room.
Little did she know that as soon as she entered, she heard a familiar voice: "How dare she play me like this! Who does Lin Xian think I am?"
Jiang Moxi looked towards the voice and saw Lin Xian with a girl in his arms, drinking and chatting.
There were also a few of his friends from the circle in the private room.
"So how did you suddenly become so enchanted with her? And you're taking it so far?"
"What do you know?"
Lin Xian took a large gulp of alcohol, sullen.
He didn't want those people to know how beautiful Jiang Moxi was.
This seemed like a little secret between him and Jiang Moxi, making him feel that he was different from others in her eyes.
"This for sure is a new strategy of Young Master Lin. Making an ugly freak fall for him, then pulling out entirely, letting her taste the despair of a broken heart."
Amidst the laughter of the crowd, Lin Xian took another big gulp of drink, trying to wash away the bitterness in his mouth.
"What are you guys doing standing around, haven't you seen Young Master Lin's empty cup? Hurry up and fill it for him."
Lin Xian's brother urged.
Yu Na smiled and stepped forward to serve: "Young Master Lin, why haven't you been around lately?"
Lin Xian, slightly drunk, pulled Yu Na close, "What, missed me?"
Yu Na nestled sweetly in Lin Xian's arms: "Yes, missed you a lot."
"Always sweet-talking."
Lin Xian and Yu Na were getting close to each other, and the others couldn't help but tease:
"Sweet words are useless, Young Master Lin's heart only has the ugly freak after all!"
"What ugly freak?" Yu Na asked.
"Just some ugly woman. Young Master Lin went all out with romance to chase her, but got played instead. He's in a bad mood right now! If any of you are on the uglier side, go call her over for Young Master Lin. You might catch his eye."
Yu Na didn't take these words seriously and continued to feed Lin Xian drinks.
While the others were messing around, one of them noticed Jiang Moxi standing in the corner.
"That one is quite noticeably ugly, why doesn't Young Master Lin take her too?"
Lin Xian involuntarily followed the direction of that person's gaze.
Then, he saw Jiang Moxi standing in the corner, and immediately felt sober by a good deal.
"Moxi? What are you doing here?"
He even pushed Yu Na to the side in a fluster and stepped forward quickly.
"I'm working part-time here."
Jiang Moxi was expressionless.
In fact, she knew that the ugly freak they were just discussing was herself, but she couldn't be bothered to care.
"Why are you working part-time here? Is your pocket money not enough?"
Lin Xian's concerned tone alerted everyone in the private room.
Especially Yu Na.
She couldn't believe that the new ugly girl was actually the one Young Master Lin was pursuing?
Especially that cautious tone Lin Xian just used, as if treating Jiang Moxi like a treasure, filled her with even more jealousy.
Why is it that everyone here is a server of Night Color, and yet this woman, who is much uglier than her, receives special attention from Young Master Lin?
But Lin Xian was indifferent to the gazes around him, only thinking that Jiang Moxi is just the adopted daughter of the Jiang family, naturally treated differently from Jiang Weiwei, and hurriedly added:
"If you need money just tell me, quit this job. This isn't a place for good girls to be."
Being neither kin nor kith, Jiang Moxi couldn't possibly accept his money: "No need, I like to be self-reliant."
Jiang Moxi said as she nodded slightly to the guests present and then turned and left the private room.
As soon as Jiang Moxi left, someone exclaimed: "Woah, the ugly freak! Why is she working here?"
"Is that really the ugly girl Young Master Lin is chasing? Why is she working in such a place?"
"Perhaps because she feels safe with her looks, she's not afraid?"
While his friends were all voicing different opinions, Lin Xian was undeterred and chased after her.
Finally catching Jiang Moxi's hand in the corridor, he tried to explain:
"Moxi, I was just drunk earlier, I normally don't get too intimate with other girls."
"It's none of my business who you are close to, why tell me?"
Jiang Moxi was just as aloof, as if she only saw him as a stranger.
Lin Xian immediately got annoyed: "Jiang Moxi, is your heart made of iron? I've said I really like you, even at the risk of being laughed at by others for it. Is this how you treat me?"
"I didn't ask you to do any of that."
Jiang Moxi tried to shake off Lin Xian's hand to go back to work.
But Lin Xian held on tightly.
He had never been so intent on having someone and not being able to have her.
Perhaps it was the alcohol taking effect, making him suddenly determined to outright win over Jiang Moxi.
Just when Lin Xian was about to lean in and kiss her with his hands gripping her, a cold light flashed in Jiang Moxi's eyes, and she was about to react.
But then a familiar male voice came from behind: "Stop."
"Uncle?"
Jiang Moxi turned around and saw Fu Youhan.
He was sitting in a wheelchair, his handsome face half-veiled in the dim light, appearing inscrutably deep."
