Fatal Preference

Chapter 3

At ten o'clock at night, the crystal lamps in the living room of the Li family went out, leaving only the floor lamps in the corners of the walls dense with a hazy dim yellow.

Li Beauty returned to the third floor bedroom, pulled open the floor-to-ceiling window, a burst of humid air came.

The night is deep, the distant night curtain is like a layer of grey gauze, quiet and cool.

Lai Pretty gazed for a moment, leaned smoothly against the window frame, took out her mobile phone and opened the search page.

Search keyword: Shang Yu

The next second, a blank page appeared a text: Sorry, did not find a web page related to "Shang Yu".

Li Qiao raised her eyebrows lightly, and continued to search for the words "Shang Shaoyan", but the results were the same.

"Well, it's quite mysterious!" Li Beauty tapped her lips with her fingertips, her eyes fell on the screen, and the interest in the bottom of her eyes was thick.

The Southern Ocean Overlord, just how domineering is he? And how paranoid?

There were too many rumours about him in this city, but her impression of Shang Yu's first meeting seemed to be slightly off from the rumours.

Li Qiao's thumb rubbed the page, but her mind was haunted by that man with a powerful aura and a noble and cold arrogance.

At this time, the mobile phone screen suddenly popped up the chat box, Li Beauty saw the WeChat message, hooked his lips and replied with an ok gesture, then turned to go to the bathroom.

Half an hour later, Li Beauty came to the cloakroom, she wiped her hair while measuring the open wardrobe, balked for a few seconds, casually picked up a set of black casual wear.

Tonight, she favoured black!

......

Late at night at eleven o'clock, a Mercedes-Benz Big G from the car park of the Lai family drove out, heavy body in the wet road speeding past, straight to the South Ocean Casino.

Casino, as the name suggests, is an entertainment venue that combines a variety of items.

Near zero o'clock, Lai Pretty parked the car at the entrance, threw the key to the parking boy, and went up to the third floor.

Inside the private area of the billiard hall, Li Qiu pushed the door and heard the crisp sound of the balls hitting.

In the large private hall, there was only one billiard case, two unfamiliar boys were playing with cues, and a girl dressed as a schoolgirl was sitting on the sofa on one side.

"Aiyo, Boss Pretty is here!"

Seeing Lai Pretty, the student girl smiled and greeted her, getting up to meet her with big strides, not matching the image of a student girl at all.

Ri Pretty stuck one hand in her pocket, her eyes scanning up and down her white shirt and plaid skirt, "What's wrong with you?"

The name of the student girl is Tang Yiting, is Ri Pretty's hair little girlfriend, personality is big and bold, hate to wear skirts since she was a child.

Tang Yiting's neck stretched, ignoring her teasing, instead she walked around Lai Pretty, "You still say what's wrong with me? How about you, what kind of dress is this?"

Lai Pretty, who favoured black tonight, was wearing a black cotton and linen suit, which was paired with a white T-shirt and boardshorts of the same colour, with a head of hair bundled up into a pill head, with a few strands of hair swirling around her cheeks, and especially with a black gold necklace hanging from her chest, the whole person was languid and heroic.

Lai Pretty pulled the corner of her mouth, walked to the sofa and settled down, looking at Tang Yiting with her head held high, "Not good looking?"

"Good looking, too good looking, can bend me!" Tang Yiting said and sat down next to Lai Pretty and bumped her with her shoulder, "Hey, I heard ...... that doll marriage of yours, lifted?"

Lai Pretty raised her eyebrows, but didn't say anything.

Tang Yiting just couldn't see this offensive look of hers, and covered her chest to ease her breath, "Don't look at me like that, can't stand it!"

Li Pretty took out her mobile phone from her pocket, rubbing her fingertips along the rim, "Looking for me, just for this matter?"

"Well ...... sort of, so in the end because of what? This doll's marriage says it's lifted? I thought that after graduating from college this year, you two were going to get married, I've saved up all my share of the money!"

Tang Yiting said as she glanced towards the two teenagers playing billiards, those were her classmates, both wanting to pursue Lai Pretty.

But now it seems like it might be hopeless, after all, how could Boss Pretty, who can't even look at Shang Lu, look at these two creamy boys.

"There's no reason, if it's not suitable, it's dissolved!" At this point, Lai Pretty replied without haste, as if the person who was disowned was not her.

At the sound of the voice, Tang Yiting tugged at the short skirt on her knees, bashfully crossed her legs, looked askance at Lai Pretty, and said tentatively, "I've heard that the object of that doll's marriage of yours is tremendously beautiful, and you're willing to be relieved of it just like that?"

"Gorgeous?" Lai Pretty curved her lips slightly, but Shang Yu's swishy cheeks appeared in front of her eyes once again, and she slightly lowered her eyes, "Your aesthetics, fell off the line!"

"Impossible!" Tang Yiting took out her mobile phone and scratched it twice, then pointed the screen at Lai Pretty and said with a serious face, "Trouble you to take a closer look, is this face not beautiful enough?"

Lai Pretty followed her movement and looked at the mobile phone page, which was a formal photo of Shang Lu.

Clear soup, beautiful?

Lai Pretty's eyes moved to Tang Yiting's face and smiled lazily, "Where did you get the photo?"

"My cousin gave it to me, and he's the one who told me about withdrawing from the marriage." After saying that, she added, "You should still remember my cousin, right? Lu Xiheng, just that beautiful man with long hair and waist."

The beautiful man with long hair and waist ......

Lai Pretty was confused for two seconds, "Oh ......" don't remember.

As soon as Tang Yiting took a look at her reaction, she knew that her cousin couldn't even get into her eyes.

After all, the Li family, the richest family in Nanyang, not only has money, but also has a face.

Standing together, the family's face value can beat half of the entertainment industry!

Not to mention Lai Pretty, born with a face that turns the world upside down, and pure and lust, the school flower, the department flower, the class flower are all her. She has a light temperament and is cold, so for many years, there is no boy who dares to woo her face to face for fear of being abused.

Tang Yiting frosted like an aubergine, holding a mobile phone especially regretful sigh, "Such a beautiful man, pity pity pity."

Lai Pretty glanced at her, shook her head and stood up, "I'm going out for a walk."

"Go where ah? I'll accompany you ......," Tang Yiting was just about to follow, but she saw Li Beauty waving her hand at her with her mobile phone, "No need, I'll go to the finance office."

"Fine." Tang Yiting resigned unhappily.

Nanyang Casino, is the property of the Li family, when it was first created, it was gifted 45% of the shares to Li Qiao by Li Guangming who spoilt his daughter, people are the rightful small boss here.

......

After years of development, the infrastructure of the Casino has been very perfect, gaming halls, opera houses, bars, art museums, restaurants, exhibition halls, and many more.

Even after late at night, this place is still like a city that never sleeps, overcrowded.

Lai saucy stroll through the promenade, take the lift directly to the Casino underground layer of the blue night bar.

When the colour of the night grows thicker, it is just the beginning of indulgence.

The bar is divided into two areas, one side is the tone of beautiful music melodious slow bar, the other side is the music drums and noise of the bar.

Lai Pretty came to the bar of the slow bar in a familiar way, and the violin music flowing in the air added some hazy dreams to the night.

A glass of Mojito was placed in front of her by the bartender, Li Qiu sat on the high chair, one leg on the ground, angling her chin, "Thanks."

"You're welcome, you haven't been here in a while!"

The bartender was called Wen Shi, twenty-four years old this year, two years older than Lai Siao, from an ordinary family, bartending part-time in the slow bar every night, a graduate student, considered a model of a good student who works and studies.

Lai Pretty and him are not particularly familiar, but every time she comes to the Casino Bar, the other party will give her a Mojito.

At this moment, Wen Shi surveyed Lai Pretty's sparse brow, pursed his lips, and asked, "I heard that you're graduating from university next month, do you still plan to continue studying?"

Li Pretty took a shallow sip from her wine glass, her tone light: "Not necessarily."

"Actually, I think ......"

Wen Shi's words have not finished, suddenly from the right back of the door of the private room, someone kicked the door angrily: "Shang Shao Yan, where in the end is my big brother? People are you take away, this is a society of law, you do not think you can hide from the sea!"

Shang Shaoyan?
