Qiao Wei saw his contempt but was too eager to find someone to care. "Do you have mineral water? I'll have a bottle of mineral water."
He had to drive later, so he couldn't drink.
The waiter smiled. It wasn't that he had never seen the world, or that he had too much money, to drink mineral water in a bar.
He opened a bill: "Okay, five hundred yuan. Alipay or WeChat?"
"So expensive!" Qiao Wei was used to being frugal in the mountain village. Even though he went out with Yu He to the capital, earning enough in a month to equal his previous year's income, he was still very thrifty and didn't spend money carelessly.
Five hundred yuan for a bottle of mineral water, was it made of gold?!
"This is Bu Yetian!" the waiter reminded him.
The implication was clear: if you want to get in, you have to spend money!
Qiao Wei gritted his teeth, took out his phone, and scanned the code. As he was about to pay, he asked, "Did you see a girl in a white dress and a man in a blue suit go in just now?"
The waiter had seen them. That was the eldest young master of the Qi family, and he was generous. He had been a step too slow and had been taken away by another colleague.
Considering the high commission on mineral water, he kindly said, "Second floor, but only members can go up there. You need to spend at least ten thousand yuan every day for three consecutive months to get a membership. A bottle of mineral water won't get you up there."
Qiao Wei frowned. This wasn't a bar, it was a money pit!
He couldn't understand the extravagance of the rich, but thinking that Qiao Qiao had come to such a place with Qi Suilin, it was pure wastefulness!
Seeing that he couldn't get to the second floor, Qiao Wei canceled the payment, "I just want to find someone. I'm not staying, and I won't take up your space. I'll leave as soon as I find them."
"No!" The waiter, seeing the commission he was about to receive disappear, looked displeased and even called the security guards. "Throw this pauper out!"
"What are you doing?" Just then, the door was pushed open from the outside, and a lazy voice came from behind.
The waiter's contemptuous look towards Qiao Wei changed to fawning when he saw the newcomer. "Young Master Shen, welcome."
Qiao Wei heard the sound, turned his head, and saw Shen Yao entering with a "bad girl" in his arms, followed by his group of "emo" looking brothers.
Shen Yao was a little surprised to see Qiao Wei. "Yo, aren't you someone who doesn't come to places like this?"
Before, he had asked Qiao Wei to come for a drink after playing basketball, but Qiao Wei had always refused and insisted on not coming.
"I brought Yu He here," Qiao Wei said.
As soon as he heard Yu He's name, Shen Yao's eyes lit up, and he looked around. "Where is she?"
Qiao Wei didn't know which floor Yu He had gone to, but he had to go to the second floor to find Qiao Qiao. "Second floor."
Shen Yao immediately pushed the "bad girl" away, put his arm around Qiao Wei's shoulder, and led him inside like a brother. "Let's go, let's go. He's with me."
The "bad girl": ?????
With Shen Yao leading the way, the waiter didn't dare to stop them. The group swaggered up to the second floor.
When they got out of the elevator, Shen Yao asked, "Which private room?"
"I don't know. She didn't say. I parked the car and she had already gone in," Qiao Wei lied, looking a little uncomfortable.
Shen Yao, however, mistook his discomfort for unwillingness to tell him. "Alright! Then let's search room by room!"
As he spoke, he waved to a waiter. "Send a bottle of wine to every private room on the second floor."
Qiao Wei thought of the exorbitant prices on the menu and twitched his eyebrow. "You don't have to be so extravagant, do you?"
Can money make you do whatever you want?!
Shen Yao, however, didn't care. "I'm not short of this little money! As long as I can find Yu He, I can treat everyone in Bu Yetian to drinks."
Qiao Wei's eyebrows twitched even more fiercely. Is this how money is wasted?!
Before he could stop them, a line of waiters, each holding a bottle of XO brandy, delivered wine to every private room.
Qiao Wei followed the waiters and soon found the private room where Qiao Qiao was. There were more than a dozen people in the room, five or six men in suits, and the rest were scantily clad hostesses. Qiao Qiao was sitting between two men, making Qiao Wei's expression extremely grim.
Qiao Qiao also saw Qiao Wei and was surprised that he could find her. To prevent him from causing a scene, she got up and said she was going to the restroom, then went out.
As soon as she stepped out, she pulled Qiao Wei to the staircase.
"Why are you still with Qi Suilin! Didn't you promise me you wouldn't go to him again?" Qiao Wei questioned her angrily. Seeing the revealing dress she was wearing, with her cleavage and thighs exposed, made him even more furious.
"Look at the clothes you're wearing, and coming to a place like this. Have you been led astray by him?!"
Being scolded as soon as they met, Qiao Qiao was also very displeased. "Why don't you care about me and how I've been doing all these days?"
"Who told you to run off and become unreachable?"
Qiao Qiao was choked. She suspected her brother's "straight man" mindset was only directed at her. "You only blame me! If Yu He and the others hadn't slandered me, would I have refused to go back?"
"Have you had enough trouble? Yu He was just trying to clarify the truth. You didn't cooperate and refused to communicate..."
"Enough!" Qiao Qiao interrupted him. "What communication is there? In your eyes, I'm always wrong, and Yu He is always right! I'm your biological sister! But you always favor her!
"Fine. Since you like her so much, then be her brother. Don't bother with me anymore, and don't come looking for me! Anyway, Yu He's clinic can't accommodate me anymore, so I'll find my own way out."
After she finished speaking, she turned to leave. Qiao Wei immediately grabbed her. "What are you talking about! You're still going to Qi Suilin? You're not allowed to! Come back with me and apologize to Yu He."
Hearing that she had to apologize to Yu He, Qiao Qiao became even more angry. She just wanted to pursue a better future, what was wrong with that!
As they were pulling at each other, Qiao Wei was afraid of hurting her, so he didn't use much force. As a result, Qiao Qiao pushed him with all her might. Qiao Wei slipped and rolled down the stairs, hitting his head on the handrail.
"Brother?" Qiao Qiao stood on the stairs, looking at the motionless Qiao Wei lying at the bottom. Her breathing became rapid, and her heart pounded like thunder.
She hesitated for a few seconds and was about to go down to check when she heard a sound from the corridor. She swallowed and muttered "I'm sorry" before turning and quickly leaving.

At the same time, at the entrance of Bu Yetian.
Yu He was tightly pulled out of the Bu Yetian by Qin Beiting. The force on her wrist told her that Qin Beiting was still very angry.
His jealousy was too much!
What to do?
Yu He could only try to appease him. "Brother Ting, don't be angry first, okay? Let me explain."
Qin Beiting didn't speak. With a cold face, he dragged her towards the parking lot.
Explanation wouldn't work, so Yu He tried a different approach. "Don't walk so fast. My knee hurts, and I can't keep up with you."
This time, Qin Beiting stopped. Yu He, caught off guard, bumped into his back.
Qin Beiting turned around, picked her up directly, and embraced her horizontally.
The handsome man and beautiful woman immediately attracted the attention of many passers-by.
Yu He felt a little uncomfortable. "Put me down!"
Qin Beiting, however, paid no attention to the gazes of others. He carried Yu He to the back seat of the car, opened the door, and put her inside.
As soon as she entered the car, Yu He smelled a strange aromatherapy scent. Before she could ask, the man leaned over her...
