Upon hearing Xie Fenglin’s words, Sister Lin couldn’t help but be startled, and a strange light flashed across her eyes.
She knew that this young master Xie suffered from a concealed illness—could it be that he had recovered from his ailment?
If young master Xie’s illness had been cured, his status within the Xie Family would certainly have risen sharply. Yet even now, he remained disfavored by his family.
Thinking of this, Sister Lin understood in her heart and guessed that this man must also be a rich young master.
Nevertheless, having young master Xie personally accompany him, this young man’s identity must be extraordinary; they had to secure this guest.
"Boss, I’m so sorry."
Xie Fenglin scratched his head in embarrassment, having been too impatient earlier and forgetting to ask for Ye Xuan’s opinion.
Sister Lin’s expression turned to shock, disbelieving as she looked at Ye Xuan.
She had thought Ye Xuan was a friend of young master Xie but had never expected to hear Xie Fenglin refer to him as "boss"!
She knew Xie Fenglin was extremely proud and never cringed or was sycophantic to anyone, treating those wealthy young masters with indifference. Even now, when his status had fallen greatly, he never tried to curry favor or ingratiate himself with others; he was a man of pride.
For someone with pride to willingly call someone else boss, even respectfully, couldn’t help but amaze Sister Lin.
However, Sister Lin was no ordinary person, and she quickly hid her surprise.
"Fenglin, I’m going to step out for a bit."
Ye Xuan smiled, greeted the others, and then walked out on his own.
When he had arrived earlier, he saw a familiar figure. Ye Xuan wanted to see if it was that person.
Seeing Ye Xuan leave, Xie Fenglin appeared puzzled, not understanding what matter Ye Xuan could have.
After leaving the private room, Ye Xuan walked straight ahead, turning several corners until he reached a leisurely foot massage parlor.
Inside the massage parlor, quite a few people were sitting in pairs and small groups.
As soon as Ye Xuan walked in, he heard the sounds of playful shouting.
"Damn! You guys look, that girl is so pretty, so freaking pure—she’s literally the woman of my dreams!"
"Jeez, with her looks, why bother being a masseuse? Just find some rich CEO and she’d make more than this!"
"Hey, it’s incredible that they managed to recruit such a beautiful girl here—the owner is really something!"
"What a shame, a fresh flower about to be trampled by swine..."
Several young men enjoying their foot massage excitedly discussed, pointing in one direction.
Ye Xuan furrowed his brow and followed their gaze, and immediately saw a young masseuse standing at one of the foot massage stations ahead.
From the entrance where Ye Xuan stood, the masseuse had her back to him.
The girl had her hair tied up in a ponytail, looking youthful and beautiful. Her tall figure, judging from the back, was very attractive—she could be considered a "back figure assassin."
However, upon seeing this back figure, Ye Xuan felt even more familiar with it. It was the owner of this figure that had caught his attention earlier.
In front of the masseuse, the short, chubby man receiving the foot massage had a malicious glint in his eyes.
Just then, he suddenly lifted his hand, reaching towards the masseuse’s face.
The masseuse was startled and let out a scream, hastily stepping back as her face turned towards them.
"Hmm? It really is her!"
Ye Xuan’s gaze swept over her, and seeing the girl’s face, he finally confirmed his guess.
The masseuse was actually Yuan Mengmeng!
Ye Xuan was surprised.
How could she be here? And also massaging feet for others?
No wonder when he first came in, those young men’s eyes were so wide open, like they had never seen a beautiful woman before.
Yuan Mengmeng was the rising goddess of the Eastern Group, the number one beauty of the sales department. Even working as a masseuse here in this Blue Pavilion, she would still be the brightest presence in the room—hard not to draw attention.
"This girl, I wonder whether she’s really naive or just pretending to be. Working in a place , she’ll be swallowed up by people without leaving even bones behind."
Ye Xuan shook his head, murmuring to himself.
Although he wondered why she would come here, he didn’t approach her right away.
Perhaps there were some untold difficulties that she didn’t want others to know about.
It would be too embarrassing for her if he were to intrude on her now!
"Yo? Little beauty, what are you scared of? Spend one night with brother, it’ll be worth more than several months of your earnings!"
Seeing Yuan Mengmeng dodge, the gold-chained, short, chubby man grinned, revealing a mouth where half of a front tooth was missing.
"I’m sorry, sir, I... I just wash feet!"
Yuan Mengmeng was somewhat frightened, glancing fearfully at the short, chubby man and biting her lip as she spoke.
For the sake of her work and the commission, she had to remain calm.
"Beauty, with your looks, isn’t it a waste to be a foot masseuse?"
The short, chubby man narrowed his eyes, not taking Yuan Mengmeng’s words to heart at all.
He had never seen such a pure and beautiful woman before.
Seeing the other party not respond after he spoke, the chubby man patted the couch beside him and said, "Beauty, I know you get a commission for each client you massage. Just sit next to me, and I’ll give you ten times the amount. What do you say?"
"I’ve said before, I only do massages."
Yuan Mengmeng replied firmly, outright rejecting his request, her eyes showing a hint of disgust.
