"Thank you." Qin Muni nodded slightly towards the other party.
The two bodyguards standing in front of the private room door slightly bowed upon seeing the manager and Qin Muni, then opened the door from both sides.
The laughter inside the private room was abruptly cut off as the door opened, and the three wealthy women seated inside simultaneously looked towards Qin Muni as she gracefully entered the room.
"I’m truly sorry to have kept you waiting."
Her well-mannered apology brought a kind smile to the face of one of the wealthy women with the surname Huang. "Not at all, we’ve just arrived too."
Another wealthy woman with the surname He smiled and echoed, "Indeed, it’s rare for you to grace us with your presence and spend time with us old ladies."
Only the last woman with the surname Wu remained silent, a faint smile on her lips, her exquisitely made-up features inadvertently revealing a hint of disdain towards Qin Muni.
"Aunt He, I should be the one thanking you for taking the time to meet with me." As she finished speaking, she turned her gaze towards the wealthy woman named Wu, greeting her warmly, "Aunt Wu, long time no see, how have you been lately?"
The wealthy woman named Wu was Wu Shanxian, a close friend of Bai Sitong’s mother, and her husband was one of the investors deceived by Zhang Chufeng.
Before Qin Muni and Bai Sitong had their falling out, she had interacted with Wu Shanxian numerous times, and the other party had always treated her kindly and warmly.
Now, her attitude towards Qin Muni had suddenly changed dramatically, refusing several invitations without regard, perhaps due to the deteriorating relationship between her and Bai Sitong, causing Wu Shanxian to hold a prejudice against her.
"Not bad." Wu Shanxian uttered these two words in a neither warm nor cold tone, and then fell silent.
The He and Huang wealthy women exchanged a glance, then laughed, "Alright, now that everyone is here, let’s start the game."
The private room had a mahjong table, and the wealthy women would come to play a few rounds to pass the time during their leisure, followed by some massages and beauty treatments for relaxation.
Qin Muni knew Wu Shanxian deliberately avoided meeting her, so she had to trouble the He and Huang wealthy women to invite her out.
Because she had a favor to ask of Wu Shanxian, and the other two women were helping her out, throughout several rounds, the three of them had been intentionally letting Wu Shanxian win.
Seeing this, the wealthy woman named Huang feigned helplessness, saying, "My luck today is really bad, I need to go for a massage and then come back."
The wealthy woman named He quickly nodded in agreement, "Indeed, let’s go, I’ll join you."
Wu Shanxian naturally noticed their deliberate intentions to leave her alone with Qin Muni, yet she was very courteous to them, pretending to know nothing, jokingly saying, "Finally you let me win, you two are quick to leave."
After exchanging a few more banter, the two women rose and left together.
Suddenly, the spacious private room had only Qin Muni and Wu Shanxian left.
"Speak, why have you been wanting to see me these days?"
Wu Shanxian retracted the enthusiasm she showed towards the two wealthy women earlier, her face filled with the opposite coldness.
Her straightforward attitude made Qin Muni feel that the other party already knew she wanted to plead for Zhang Chufeng.
"I heard your husband suffered a failed investment recently?"
"Yes, got tricked by a snot-nosed kid, and now that kid’s sitting in jail." As she spoke, Wu Shanxian’s eyes slightly lifted, clearly revealing her disdain for Zhang Chufeng.
"I would like to ask you to persuade your husband to withdraw the lawsuit against him."
Upon hearing her words, Wu Shanxian laughed coldly as if she had heard the biggest joke in the world.
