Chapter 688: This Is Only A Transaction
Ou Luoxi did not have any expressions on his face, and he said, “I know. Help me contact them then.”
Ah Ye let out a sigh before he hung up.
Ou Luoxi slowly sat down by the side of the bed, and he looked out the window to at the pure white moonlight shining outside. Eldest Brother’s entire family went to America some time ago while Second Older Brother was on a mission in Africa, and he did not want to trouble them all the time.
Actually, he really hated the cunning and evil things on this earth. It was not that he did not know about it, but compared to anyone on this earth, he knew it better than anyone, so he hated it more.
He saw things very lightly in this world, but he was unwilling to open his heart up to others easily. To be honest, he was a pure and arrogant person.
But everything was different now, and he had someone that he wanted to protect.
He wanted to protect her properly. He wanted to be together with her forever, so he was willing to do anything.
...
The next day
The most luxurious Presidential Private Room in Jingfan Hotel was reserved, and there were seven or eight middle aged men inside, and the elite and famous people of T City were there.
Everyone smoked as they chatted with one another. They were extremely excited, and the door to the private room opened up. Ah Ye brought Ou Luoxi along with him as they walked inside.
Ou Luoxi wore a short black leather jacket with a white t-shirt underneath, making him look clean and handsome.
Everyone saw him, and their eyes lit up as they said, “Ou Luoxi, you have finally arrived. We have been waiting for you for such a long time now.”
Ah Ye went inside to nuance the situation and said, “The traffic was congested today. We are late, and we will need everyone here to be kind.”
“That would be up to you to decide.” Everyone looked over at Ou Luoxi.
Ou Luoxi walked inside.
The moment he walked, the men’s gazes changed as they said, “Eh, Ou Luoxi, what is wrong with your right leg? Did you get injured? You look so ugly limping like this. You look like a disabled person.”
Ah Ye responded quickly and said, “Our Luoxi was involved in a car accident. His right leg was a little injured, and he will get better after some time.”
The men barely accepted this reason. A disabled person would not be worth this price, but when everyone saw Ou Luoxi’s fair and handsome face, they nodded their head in satisfaction.
Everyone leaned back against their chair. They crossed their legs casually and were smoking. They looked at Ou Luoxi as if he were a prostitute. Someone that took his finger that was holding on to his cigarette to point at Ou Luoxi and said, “Since you are already disabled, walk two rounds around us. Let us have a look at how a disabled person would walk.”
“That’s right...” The men all squinted their eyes as they laughed loudly in agreement.
Ah Ye’s facial expression became uncomfortable. These people were insulting Ou Luoxi so blatantly.
Ah Ye looked at Ou Luoxi.
Ou Luoxi did not have an expression on his face, and those senior presidents all sat down on the chair. There was a large part of the room that was empty. He lifted his legs apart, and he really limped step by step as he walked two rounds.
“Haha...” The senior presidents all bit on their cigarettes as they laughed happily. Someone threw a few coins on the ground by Ou Luoxi as he said, “Ou Luoxi, you walked very well. This is your reward; you can pick it up now.”
Ou Luoxi lowered his gaze to look at the coins by the side of his feet.
At this moment, Ah Ye stepped forward and said, “Thank you all Presidents for your reward. I will accept it on our Luoxi’s behalf.”
Ah Ye was about to bend over.
“Wait a moment. When did all of Ou Luoxi’s matters become yours to handle? Then what about the matter that Ou Luoxi is begging us to settle?” Someone threatened them.
Ah Ye froze.
At this moment, Ou Luoxi slowly bent his knee and went down on one knee. He stretched his hand out, and he picked all the coins up from the floor.
“Haha, Ou Luoxi, your attitude is the right attitude when you are begging someone for help. We like it. Think back a few years. We called you out a number of times, but you did not bother even once. We didn’t think after these few years, you’d know what was the real deal. This is the right thing to do.”
“Haha...” Everyone laughed as they got even more daring.
Ou Luoxi picked up all of the coins on the floor, and everyone sat down around the dining table.
“Ou Luoxi, you were late today. Come. You have to punish yourself with three glasses.”
Ah Ye did not dare to butt in anymore. He was afraid that he would ruin Ou Luoxi’s matters, and he served the alcohol to Ou Luoxi silently.
Ou Luoxi took the wine glass up and downed the three glasses in one gulp.
The senior presidents were all greedy as they looked at Ou Luoxi. His thin pink lips were stained with alcohol, and it made his lips look even more sparkling. Surprisingly, his lips were even more dainty and attractive than the lips of the women that they played with, and all of them were so tempted.
Someone stood up and walked over to where Ou Luoxi was. He stretched his hand out to touch Ou Luoxi’s face before he exclaimed, “Wow! Your skin is so smooth.”
The other senior presidents all laughed loudly as they said, “You are too bold. Don’t scare Ou Luoxi.”
That person sat down on the seat beside Ou Luoxi and said, “Just touching him would scare him? Then Ou Luoxi is even more delicate than a young girl. I do not know what it would be like to touch him, haha.”
Ah Ye had a frown on his face. These people were already starting to talk dirty.
Ou Luoxi’s expressions were very light, and after he stepped inside the room, he did not say a single word.
“Ou Luoxi, alcohol has to be consumed with two people to be fun. Come, sit down on my lap. Let’s drink one glass with our arms intertwined.” That person patted his lap.
“Drink one glass, drink one glass...” The others started to cheer.
Everyone looked over at him, and Ou Luoxi...did not move.
The senior presidents’ faces became cold, and the senior president seated down by Ou Luoxi’s side said, “Ou Luoxi, what do you mean by this? Are you looking down on me?”
Ah Ye tried to explain quickly and said, “Our Luoxi did not mean it that way...”
“Hmph!” That person splashed the contents of the wine glass onto Ou Luoxi’s face and he slammed the door and left. He said, “You are not looking at what you are? It seems that we don’t need to talk anymore.”
The others all stood up in succession and said, “Ou Luoxi, wait until you’re thinking about it clearly before you come looking for us!”
...
Everyone in the private room left. Ah Ye handed a tissue over to Ou Luoxi and said, “Luoxi, wipe your face.”
Ou Luoxi took the tissue from him.
Ah Ye let out a sigh and said, “Luoxi, if you came over to participate in this dinner appointment, you should have prepared your heart. These people are all cunning, and if you are unable... to give them good benefits, they will not help you out. Why don’t we think of other solutions?”
Ou Luoxi did not say anything, and at this moment, his phone rang.
He took his phone out to have a look, and it was a number that he did not recognize.
Ou Luoxi answered the call and said, “Hello...”
“Hello, Luoxi, do you still remember me?”
Ou Luoxi had a good memory. The moment he heard a person’s voice he would not be able to forget that person from then onwards. He knew this person, and it was that time that Ou Ze misdirected him to go inside the hotel room and serve this person. President Qu.
Xia Xiaofu was angry with him for a long period of time because of this President Qu.
“Yeah.” Ou Luoxi grunted out.
“Luoxi, I have already heard about your situation. I can help you settle the matter privately.”
“What do you want?”
“Hah, Luoxi, aren’t you clear about what I want? Today, 6pm at Haijing Hotel room number 6201. We would not part till we meet.” President Qu hung up.
Ah Ye already heard the content of the call and asked, “Luoxi, we...”
Ou Luoxi stood up and said, “Let’s go.”
...
Haijing Hotel, Room number 6201. Ah Ye was on guard outside. Ou Luoxi had already been inside for half an hour.
Ah Ye laid against the wall and lit a cigarette as he smoked it slowly. He suddenly missed Ou Luoxi from the past. At that time, although he was living all alone, he was so arrogant, and now....
Inside the room
Ou Luoxi sat down on the bed. President Qu had already taken a shower, and he tied a bath towel around his waist as he walked out. He sat down on the other end of the bed and handed all of the documents in his hand over to Ou Luoxi.
“My older male cousin is working overseas, and it is a coincidence that he is in charge of the matter this time. Xia Bo’s matter can be easy or hard. If you don’t have any contacts, a guilty ruling would be enough for him to spend half of his life in jail, but if you have contacts, we can end the case tomorrow.”
Ou Luoxi took the documents and opened them up to have a look.
President Qu looked at his handsome and attractive back profile, and his gaze was a little loving. He went onto the bed, before hugging Ou Luoxi from behind.
Ou Luoxi froze and was about to struggle.
“Luoxi, are you really dating Xia Xiaofu?”
Upon hearing the name, “Xia Xiaofu,” Ou Luoxi stopped trying to struggle.
President Qu immediately let out a satisfied smile, and his hand followed Ou Luoxi’s coat as he went inside. He lowered his volume, smiled, and said, “You don’t have to worry. This is only just a transaction. I would not utter a single word about this to Xia Xiaofu.”
President Qu pressed Ou Luoxi down onto the bed, and he looked at the youth’s exquisite and beautiful face. He bent his body down to kiss Ou Luoxi’s lips.
Ou Luoxi suddenly averted his head over to the side.
“Luoxi, since you came over here, don’t play any tricks with me anymore. This time, we are both willing parties. If you do not want to save Xia Bo, you can leave right now. If you want to save him, the thing that I want is you. Otherwise, we do not have anything to talk about.”
Ou Luoxi stared at the bright and sparkling crystal chandelier above his head, and he gave up trying to struggle.
...
Xia Xiaofu did not gain anything and returned to the villa. “Luoxi, Luoxi...” She called out to him twice, and did not see Ou Luoxi anywhere.
At this moment, Xia Xiaofu’s mother came down from upstairs and said, “Xiaofu, don’t call out anymore, Ou Luoxi left early in the morning, and he is still not back.”
“He went out? Did he say where he went?”
“No.” Xia Xiaofu’s mother did not have a good expression on his face, and said, “He just said that he was going out. I thought that he would come back very quickly, but it is already nine o’clock at night, and he is still not back yet. What could happen to him outside? He did not prepare at home either, and it is probably because I did not give him a smile these few days. He has already given up.”
“Mum, how could you talk about Luoxi like this?”
Xia Xiaofu’s mother did not say anything else. The matters that happened in the Xia family made her stressed and unable to catch her breath. Furthermore, she thought about Chen Jingyu being her son-in-law first, so she was really unable to like Ou Luoxi.
Not only did she not like him, and she hated him very much.
Xia Xiaofu took her phone out and wanted to give Ou Luoxi a call, and at this moment, the main doors of the villa opened up. Ou Luoxi walked inside.
He wore a white shirt, and he grabbed the black leather jacket in his right hand. He looked very normal, but his gaze was somewhat dazed. He saw Xia Xiaofu’s mother and Xia Xiaofu standing inside the living room and froze on the spot.
Xia Xiaofu’s mother saw him behaving stiffly, and she was furious. She asked him directly, “Where did you go to?”
“Oh.” Ou Luoxi regained his senses and faced Xia Xiaofu’s mother as his expressions were very polite as he said, “I went out to have a meal with a friend.”
“Have a meal? Why didn’t you say anything about going out to have a meal? We were waiting for you and have not eaten yet.”
Xia Xiaofu heard the tone that her mother was using and raised her eyebrows up immediately. She wanted to say something, but at this moment, Ou Luoxi placed the leather jacket on the back of the sofa in the living room before he rolled up his sleeves as he went into the kitchen, “I will go and make dinner now.”
The moment Ou Luoxi went into the kitchen, Xia Xiaofu pulled her mother’s hand and said, “Mum, what are you doing?”
“What can I do? Our family is in such big trouble right now, and forget that he is unable to help out at all, but he even has the mood to go out for a meal with his friend?”
Xia Xiaofu’s mother volume was very loud, and she also did not care that Ou Luoxi, who was inside the kitchen, could hear them.
“Mum!” Xia Xiaofu was about to retaliate, but at this moment, her phone rang.
“Hello, Mr. Ye...What? My father’s case has developments...because the evidence is not enough, my dad is not guilty, and this matter is settled privately? This is great. Mr. Ye, thank you...”
Xia Xiaofu hung up, and she was extremely emotional and hugged her mother as she said, “Mum, the matter has ended as it has been settled privately.”
Xia Xiaofu’s mother was unable to accept such a good piece of news. She froze for a long period of time before she smiled and said, “This is great, this is great. Heaven is really merciful. Your father is not guilty anymore.”
Xia Xiaofu and her mother broke out into tears because of happiness.
Xia Xiaofu’s mother was so happy as she ran upstairs to tell this news to Xia Bo. Xia Xiaofu ran inside the kitchen and she hugged Ou Luoxi’s waist from behind. She was elated as she said, “Luo Xi, my father’s case has been finally settled privately.”
Ou Luoxi curled the corners of his lips up and had a gentle smile as he said, “I will have to congratulate you then.”
Xia Xiaofu went on her tiptoes to kiss his cheek as she said, “Luoxi, it has been hard on you.”
“It was not hard.”
Xia Xiaofu was happy and noticed that the corner of Ou Luoxi’s lip was broken. She stretched her slim arm out to touch the corner of his lip as she said, “Luoxi, what is wrong with your lips?”
Ou Luoxi avoided her fingers and lowered his gaze down to fry the vegetables in the wok as he said, “It is fine. I just knocked it today.”
“Is that true? Why do I think that someone bit it? Luoxi, you wouldn’t betray me with another woman, right? If this is the case, I would not want you anymore.” Xia Xiaofu pouted her attractive red lips.
“I did not.” Ou Luoxi’s face was pale as he shook his head.
Xia Xiaofu noticed that he did not look well, and her heart felt pain immediately. Lately, she’s been busy with the matters regarding her father and has not given him attention. He seemed to have lost weight again.
“Luoxi, I was joking just now. I trust you.”
“Okay.” Ou Luoxi nodded his head.
Xia Xiaofu held his elbow and wanted to tell him some sweet nothings. At this moment, the sound of footsteps rang out in the air, and Xia Xiaofu’s mother came down the steps.
Ou Luoxi took his elbow back, switched off the stove, and said, “It is time for dinner.”
He supported his right leg and went over to the cabinet to get the cutlery to place it down on the dining table, then served the dishes onto the table. Xia Xiaofu stood inside the kitchen to look at him, and he lowered his gaze to place the cutlery down. His back profile was extremely proper.
Xia Xiaofu’s heart felt as if it was hit harshly.
“Luoxi, are we eating together?”
“There is no need. I ate already. You guys can eat.” Ou Luoxi walked over to the sofa to take his leather jacket before he looked over at Xia Xiaofu’s mother as he said, “Aunty, I will go upstairs first.”
He lifted his heels up and went upstairs.
When he walked inside the room, he could still hear Xia Xiaofu’s mother talking. She was very unsatisfied with him, and she said, “Your father’s case has finally ended. Why is he not happy at all? What is he thinking inside his head?”
“Mum!”...
Ou Luoxi closed the door of the room.
...
Ou Luoxi went into the bathroom to take a shower, and he stood underneath the showerhead and did not move at all to bathe in the icy cold water. The moment he started, he ended up showering for half an hour, and the skin on his entire body was pale when he walked out.
He stood before the sink as he took out his toothbrush to brush his teeth. After brushing for a moment, he could not control himself, and he bent down to vomit harshly.
