After the Harem Novel’s Female Lead was Spoiled by the Comments - Chapter 26

Yan Qingwen didn’t actually care much about why Wen Hebai went to the bar; however, considering they were currently being watched, she felt it best to get in touch and check on the situation for Wen Hebai’s safety.

Meanwhile, in City K, inside the “Yi Qi” bar.

Wen Hebai found the drunken Su Jinyue in a booth on the second floor. She was grabbing Jiang Yunhan, trying to kiss his face, when Wen Hebai grabbed her collar and yanked her back.

“Who is it!” Su Jinyue shouted, “Do you know who I am?”

“And who are you?” Wen Hebai asked her.

“I am Su—” Su Jinyue turned her head, and by the light of the overhead spotlights, she saw clearly the face of the person standing behind her. She instantly sobered up thirty percent from fright, “Ba—Sister Bai?!”

“Don’t. You’re the ‘Sister,’ Sister Yue,” Wen Hebai teased.

Su Jinyue sobered up a bit more and sat properly: “Sister Bai, why are you here?”

Wen Hebai’s gaze swept over Jiang Yunhan—who was huddled in the corner of the booth looking as if he were swearing to defend his chastity—before returning to Su Jinyue’s face. She asked: “I should be asking you. What were you trying to do just now?”

Su Jinyue rubbed her dizzy head as the impulsive actions she had committed while drunk immediately flooded her mind.

She covered her face. God help her, she actually tried to kiss Jiang Yunhan just now!?

“I accidentally drank some alcohol and my head went dizzy instantly. I didn’t know…” Su Jinyue explained stammeringly.

This matter started with why she came to the bar in the first place.

Because she hadn’t made a single sale and had become the “tail of the team,” the team leader assigned a colleague to mentor her for the sake of the whole group’s year-end bonus.

After work and dinner, the colleague brought her here.

“What are we doing at a bar?” Su Jinyue asked.

The colleague gave a mysterious smile: “I’ve heard that rich second-generation heirs often hang out here. If we can build connections with them, we won’t have to worry about making sales!”

“Yi Qi” was a bar located in the prime business district in the most prosperous part of the city center. It was rumored the owner had official backing; the bar also placed great importance on guest privacy and safety. Security checks were required before entry—not only was contraband prohibited, but even electronic products had to be stored in lockers outside.

This eliminated over 95% of unauthorized filming. Consequently, City K’s socialites, elites, and rich second-generation heirs loved to play here, even booking the whole venue for private parties.

Su Jinyue: “…”

She wanted to escape. If an acquaintance saw her here selling insurance, where would she hide her face?!

Fortunately, it was still early, and the bar wasn’t that crowded yet.

Just then, she saw Zhuang Yi at the bar counter drinking alone.

Wen Hebai and Yan Qingwen’s warnings were still ringing in her ears, but his dejected look made her truly curious. So, she leaned over and asked: “Did you follow me?”

Zhuang Yi’s face stiffened. He looked at her with feigned confusion: “You are…?”

Seeing that he didn’t recognize her, Su Jinyue couldn’t help but sigh in relief. It seemed he hadn’t come for her.

“Oh, I remember. You were a guest at the Orestes restaurant,” Zhuang Yi said.

“It’s me. Are you off work? Otherwise, why aren’t you working at the restaurant during dinner hours, but instead came here to drink?”

A look of pain appeared on Zhuang Yi’s face, and he told Su Jinyue about how he failed to obtain Wen Hebai’s forgiveness and was cruelly fired by the restaurant.

Su Jinyue spoke up for him: “How could they only fire you? They should fire those managers and the waiters on duty that day as well! Don’t worry, I’ll help you complain about them and make them lose their jobs along with you.”

Zhuang Yi: “…”

Wasn’t the point supposed to be that Wen Hebai is petty and refused to forgive me? And doesn’t she want to help me seek justice?

Realizing it was difficult to drive a wedge between Su Jinyue and Wen Hebai, Zhuang Yi changed his strategy. He said with feigned bitterness: “What’s the use of complaining? They all have backers. What can I, an ordinary person, compare with them?”

Hmph. Once I reclaim everything, I will definitely make the Li family behind this restaurant go bankrupt to vent the hatred in my heart!

Having been “coached” by Wen Hebai and Yan Qingwen, Su Jinyue had indeed developed a bit more wariness. She patted Zhuang Yi’s shoulder and comforted him: “It’s okay. There are so many restaurants in City K, and places are hiring waiters every day. You still have plenty of employment opportunities.”

Zhuang Yi’s heart was already beginning to go berserk. What is wrong with this woman? Is this how you comfort someone? Can’t she just use the Su family’s influence to arrange a position for me in the Su family’s company?!

He had obviously forgotten that the current Su Jinyue was just a “social animal” worrying about her own sales. Since she hadn’t made a single sale herself, how would she have the face to ask her father to open the back door and arrange a job for someone else!

Zhuang Yi sighed deeply, a strange light flashing in his eyes: “Let’s not talk about it. Let me buy you a drink!”

Su Jinyue hadn’t come here to drink. She pulled out an insurance flyer and asked mysteriously: “Do you want to buy insurance? Look, you’re unemployed now. If you get a serious illness or have an accident, those huge medical bills might drain your family savings. But buying our insurance can keep you worry-free…”

Zhuang Yi felt a mouthful of blood choke in his throat, nearly spitting it out.

Is this Su Jinyue toxic? He’s already this miserable, yet she only thinks about squeezing the remaining value out of him!

Su Jinyue was getting into the flow of selling insurance when she unexpectedly saw Jiang Yunhan in a booth on the second floor. Seeing her, his inner thoughts were practically like a megaphone, nearly blowing the top of her skull off: 【Crap, are the Dragon King lead and Female Lead 2 on a date?!】

【Wait a minute, a bar, a date… has the plot finally reached this point? The Dragon King tricks Female Lead 2—who has a super low alcohol tolerance—into drinking. The love-brained Female Lead 2 has no guard and drinks the strong liquor. Then the Dragon King takes advantage of her drunkenness to ‘cook the rice’ (have sex). When she wakes up, although she knows the Dragon King is the Yan family’s son-in-law, she has lost her virginity to him and admires him greatly, so she becomes his secret mistress.】

【I didn’t expect that even though the plot related to Yan Qingwen changed, the plot with Female Lead 2 is still happening as scheduled. I’d better pretend I didn’t see anything. Don’t want to fail at a ‘hero saves beauty’ attempt and lose my life instead.】

Su Jinyue suddenly looked up at Jiang Yunhan, waves rising in her heart. What did he mean, she would lose her virginity to Zhuang Yi?
