Chapter 623: Still the Familiar Taste

There, a woman with a simple ponytail was mixing drinks with incredibly graceful and fluid movements. Whether it was the bottles or glasses in her hands, they seemed to possess a kind of vitality and spirituality, often earning cheers from onlookers.

The woman's expression had been serious all along, with a faint smile playing upon her lips, giving her an approachable demeanor.

But right now, only she knew the pain she was bearing inside.

Although Shangguan Shishi originally didn't know what was going on, due to her high intelligence, following Chu Zhaonan's gaze, she immediately understood Wang Zheng's meaning.

Shangguan Shishi would never have thought that she would encounter Chu Zhaonan’s red-swan friend here.

"Find a seat and sit down," Chu Zhaonan looked at Xiao Juan with a bitter smile, then led the way to a booth.

Ever since this beautiful bartender named Xiao Juan arrived, the Magic Realm Fairy Trace bar's revenue had skyrocketed. Many customers came specifically for her reputation; not only was she pretty, but the drinks she mixed were also outstanding. There were plenty of admirers for this female bartender, unfortunately, none of them ever made a dent in her heart.

"I'll go get you a drink that she mixes," Shangguan Shishi stood up proactively and said.

"Thank you." Chu Zhaonan expressed his gratitude. He knew why Shangguan Shishi had gotten up; it was because he couldn't face Xiao Juan himself.

"Shangguan Shishi is quite good, much better than I ever imagined," Chu Zhaonan looked at the back of Shangguan Shishi and said: "You should cherish her more. Don’t always be flirting outside."

"How could I worry about the weeds outside when I can't even finish picking the flowers at home" Wang Zheng said with a smile.

After a long while, Shangguan Shishi squeezed out of the crowd, holding a tray with three mixed cocktails that gleamed in the dazzling lights, reflecting dreamlike colors.

"Thanks," Chu Zhaonan took the cocktail and took a deep breath before closing his eyes and taking a light sip.

“Still tastes familiar, hahaha,” Wang Zheng said with no care at all.

The taste is quite good too.” Shangguan Shishi also remarked: "She must be the money tree of this bar. If she weren’t here, the bar’s business would surely suffer by more than half."

"I rarely compliment women, but she's indeed excellent," Wang Zheng patted Chu Zhaonan on the shoulder: "She's incomparably better than that Xie Tiantian. It'd be a real shame to miss out on her."

Chu Zhaonan nodded with difficulty, his eyes filled with hesitation. No matter how wise and resolute he was in business dealings, when it came to personal matters, he became hesitant. Of course, this also meant that Chu Zhaonan still had some human warmth.

"Aiyah, something interesting is about to happen," Wang Zheng's eyes suddenly sparkled as he stared at the entrance of the bar.

Chu Zhaonan followed Wang Zheng’s gaze and when he saw Xie Tiantian enter with a tall, sinister-looking bodyguard, an uncontrollable rage immediately flared up in his eyes!

Clearly, Chu Zhaonan understood everything the moment he saw Xie Tiantian. She hadn’t come to pick up her friend at the airport as she claimed; instead, she had come to cause trouble for Xiao Juan.

Chu Zhaonan didn't expect that the seemingly naughty Xie Tiantian would actually be so calculating. What did she intend to do with Xiao Juan

Wang Zheng patted Chu Zhaonan's hand, indicating for him not to get too agitated: "You don’t have to show your face in this matter, but there’s one question you must think through."

"What question" Chu Zhaonan said as he clenched his fists.

The players are often confused while spectators see clearly. It was obvious at this moment that Wang Zheng was much more lucid than Chu Zhaonan, seeing things with greater clarity.

"Find out how Xie Tiantian found out about Xiao Juan’s existence," Wang Zheng said, squinting his eyes: "Even if your confidentiality measures weren’t perfect, it wouldn’t be enough for Xie Tiantian to know. This is clearly a malicious intent, no, it’s downright wicked."

Upon hearing this, the cold light in Chu Zhaonan's eyes instantly flared up; it was clear that he had realized what Wang Zheng meant!

Xiao Juan was already part of the past, yet someone deliberately told Xie Tiantian, who would soon be a member of the Chu family, about this matter. It was obvious they harbored ill intentions and were trying to create trouble.

"Who could it be" Chu Zhaonan frowned deeply.

"This must have been done by someone within your Chu household," Wang Zheng said as he took a sip of the cocktail Xiao Juan had mixed: "With Xie Family’s power in the capital, they wouldn’t be able to investigate out Xiao Juan's identity. Forget it, don't think about this anymore; let's see what Xie Tiantian will do."

Afterward, Wang Zheng dialed a call and said, "Get to the Magic Realm Fairy Trace bar in ten minutes, can you make that happen"

"Of course," Yang Ming’s voice replied: "I'm nearby.

"Then come over here."

"Can't do that, hehe, a bit busy right now." Yang Ming pleaded: "Boss, I have a girl with me. Could you just give me ten minutes I won’t be able to finish up."

"Then tell Lin Xijue to come over." Wang Zheng hung up the phone immediately after saying this because he had clearly heard a woman's breathing from Yang Ming’s phone; this brat must be having another one-night stand!

Xie Tiantian stood at the door, looking inside the bar with an unmistakable air of arrogance on her face.

"Is this where that Xiao Juan works What a shame. She actually picked up a nightclub girl as her girlfriend." Xie Tiantian sneered disdainfully: "Come on, let’s go and see what this woman looks like so I can teach her a lesson."

The Fox grinned sinisterly: "As long as Miss instructs me, I’ll ensure that this woman will have an unforgettable night."

Xie Tiantian snorted coldly: "A bartender from a nightclub is no different from those sitting-in girls. They’re all just for sale after being paid off."

"Move aside, move aside." The Fox pushed everyone blocking the bar counter away to clear a path for Xie Tiantian.

There was no empty seat at the stools in front of the bar counter, so the Fox simply stretched out his hand and forcefully pulled someone off their stool.

"Who the hell are you! Can’t you see I’m sitting here comfortably"
