Chapter 65: A Farce (1)
Bar Number 8 was a very famous bar in B City. All of its patrons were wealthy and respectable individuals.
The bar's proprietor was one of Zhao Chengning's close childhood friends. Taking into consideration that it was Shen Jingbin's first time seeing B City's nightlife, he decided to give his friend a call in advance, getting him to set aside slightly better seats for them.
When they exited the car at the pub, Zhao Chengning's shoulders were grabbed, and then embraced, by a man with mutton chop sideburns1. "Ah Ning, what've you been so busy with lately? Ah Qi has been complaining about you for quite a while, saying that it's almost impossible to meetup with you lately."
Zhao Chengning hugged him in return and said, "I've been a little busy at work these days, so I didn't have much time," He then released the man from his grip and took a step away from him. "Let me introduce you, this is a friend I got to know in A City, Shen Jingchen. Beside him is his younger sister, Shen Jingbin… Enough with the strange looks, it's not the nut job that you're thinking of."
The man with the mutton chop sideburns scratched his head in embarra.s.sment. "Sorry about that lil sis, I wasn't trying to make fun of your name."
Shen Jingbin shook her head. "It's alright, that was a very normal reaction."
Zhao Chengning continued. "These two arrived in B City today and wanted to expand their horizons by seeing B City's nightlife, so I decided to bring them over to your place."
The man with the mutton chop sideburns gave a hearty laugh and walked up to Shen Jingbin with the intention of patting her on the shoulder. After realizing that it was inappropriate, he switched targets and slapped Shen Jingchen's shoulder instead.
"You made the right decision in choosing to visit my place! Let's go, let's go! Ah Ning's friends are my friends. Tonight's my treat!"
Shen Jingchen didn't stand on ceremony either as the two of them walked into the bar with their arms around each other's shoulders. Xuya, who'd just returned from parking the car, shouted for them to wait up, and then the three of them walked in as a group.
