Stealing Your Heart Chapter 483
They were both members of high society, so even though they did not have business dealings, they were able to recognize each other.
Naturally, they had to exchange pleasantries upon meeting as well.
Gu Bei noticed the madam’s displeased expression and chuckled. “What happened here? Did you not serve Mr. Zong well?”
Before Zong Jinghao could speak, the madam complained, “I treat all the guests here with sincerity, but this man hit me without warning! Even if I have done something to offend him by mistake, he shouldn’t have hit me on your account! He’s clearly here to make trouble!”
A myriad of expressions flashed across Gu Bei’s face, eventually replaced by a calm one. He then slapped the madam across the face.
Taken aback by the sudden turn of events, she held her numb face and stared at Gu Bei in shock. Tears welled up in her eyes, but she did not dare to cry.
“My account? Why should I care about whether he hit you or not? Do you know who this man is? How dare you stir up trouble when you didn’t treat him well? It’s our greatest honor to have Mr. Zong visit my nightclub! How could you say he’s here to make trouble?” This woman is an idiot! She keeps saying that Zong Jinghao shouldn’t have hit her on my account! Does she really want me to make enemies with him? Well, I’m no fool!
Gu Bei shot the manager a glance and instructed, “Sell her off to the cheapest brothel.”
By the cheapest brothel, he meant those shady massage parlors that provided special services such as a full-body massage that included a ‘happy ending.’ She would have to satisfy many customers in a day.
If they sent her to work there, she would be a goner.
At the moment, the madam’s face turned white as a sheet. She could not believe that Gu Bei treated her so heartlessly after she had served him for such a long time. He had given her a sentence worse than death.
She broke free from the manager’s grip and held Gu Bei’s hand as she apologized, “I was in the wrong. It’s all my fault! Please don’t send me to such a place! Please! Not after I’ve worked for you for so long!”
Right then, she was crying in a disheveled state. Panic filled her teary eyes, and her earlier grace was nowhere to be seen.
Placing his hands in his pockets, Gu Bei turned to Zong Jinghao without giving her a glance. “Mr. Zong, how do you think I should deal with her? You were the one she offended, after all.”
The madam shifted her gaze to Zong Jinghao with a mixture of spite and regret in them. All the men here had fallen for her charms and only wanted to get her into bed.
She had never expected that she would encounter a troublemaker today. To make matters worse, that man was so revered that even Gu Bei wanted to be in his good books!
She bit her lip and pleaded with Zong Jinghao, “Mr. Zong, I was blind not to have recognized you and offended you. I’m truly sorry.”
But Zong Jinghao did not even spare her a second glace and scoffed, “Surely you’re joking, Mr. Gu. I have no intention of interfering in your private affairs.”
