The general manager and the other staff members inside the clubhouse were equally stunned after witnessing Mu Wanqing’s performance on the racing track.
Who would have imagined that such a young girl possessed such extraordinary driving skills?
The general manager stood silently for a moment before immediately turning toward one of his staff members, “Bring some water and freshly squeezed fruit juice.”
Then, as if suddenly remembering something, he hesitated.
His expression changed slightly.
After several seconds of internal struggle, he finally gritted his teeth.
“Actually” he said, “bring the bottle of Fillico Jewelry Black King water bottle.”
The staff member stared at him in shock, “General Manager?”
The general manager immediately turned toward him and snorted, “Didn’t you hear what I said?
Bring the Fillico Jewelry Black King water for Miss Mu.”
The staff member hesitated, “But, General Manager, those bottles are extremely limited in our stock.
They are strictly managed by the President himself and are normally reserved only for Black Diamond members.
If we suddenly give one away without authorization, won’t you have to explain yourself to the President?”
The general manager fell silent.
Of course, he understood the problem.
But after years of managing Aurora Club and dealing with countless wealthy and influential people, he had developed something more valuable than experience.
Instinct.
A strong instinct for recognizing people who should never be underestimated.
When the general manager of the Bvlgari Hotel had personally contacted him and requested that Aurora Club’s entire racing track be reserved for an important guest, he had immediately realized that someone extraordinary was coming.
Then Mu Wanqing had arrived, the rare luxury car, extraordinary license plate and a single glance through Weibo, he had discovered enough about her.
The entire platform was discussing her.
But what truly caught his attention was something else.
Her father had casually given her that car as a gift.
If a father could casually give such a gift to his daughter, then what kind of man was he?
And more importantly, what kind of family stood behind her?
The general manager could only imagine.
He could not predict it.
Finally, he looked at the staff member and said firmly, “Just do as I instructed.
The general manager of the Bvlgari Hotel personally asked us to take special care of Miss Mu.
We are merely following the request of one of our most important partners.”
The staff member immediately understood that there was no room for further discussion, “Yes, General Manager.” With that, he nodded respectfully and hurried away to carry out the instructions.
The general manager adjusted his suit, straightened his posture, and walked out of the clubhouse toward Mu Wanqing’s car.
Meanwhile, Mu Wanqing had finally calmed down.
The excitement in her heart had slowly begun to settle.
She opened her eyes and immediately noticed the general manager standing outside the car.
Mu Wanqing unfastened her seatbelt and stepped out.
The moment she emerged from the Bugatti, the general manager immediately gave her a respectful nod, “Miss Mu,” he said with a warm smile, “you were truly amazing just now.
With your skills, you could easily become a professional racer.
Perhaps one day, you might even win championships and bring honor to our country.”
Mu Wanqing chuckled softly, “It’s not that impressive.
Professional racers train for many years.
I’m only a beginner.”
The general manager smiled, “Miss Mu, you are far too modest.” He then pointed toward the staff member approaching them, “I have arranged some water and freshly squeezed fruit juice for you.
You must be tired after driving.
Please have something to drink and refresh yourself.”
Not far away, Chen Gang was staring at Mu Wanqing with a stunned expression.
Then he suddenly turned toward Zhang Jianjun, “Brother Zhang…
isn’t she the girl from this morning?
The mysterious young lady who casually booked the Presidential Suite for ten days at the Bvlgari Hotel.
So she is the owner of that car?” His eyes widened, “I should have guessed it earlier!”
Zhang Jianjun was equally surprised.
After all, he should have made the connection much sooner.
But seeing Mu Wanqing standing there now, dressed in completely different clothes, made her appear like an entirely different person.
She was not wearing anything particularly extravagant or covered in recognizable luxury logos.
Yet somehow, those simple clothes made her stand out even more.
It was not the clothes that enhanced her presence.
It was her presence that made the clothes appear extraordinary.
Xu Jiahao, who had overheard their conversation, immediately asked, “Brother Gang, Brother Jianjun, do you know that young lady?”
Chen Gang shook his head, “No, we don’t know her.” Then a mischievous expression appeared on his face, “But one thing is certain.
She’s incredibly wealthy and…” He deliberately glanced toward Zhang Jianjun, “…Brother Zhang finds her interesting.”
Zhang Jianjun almost choked on his own saliva.
He immediately turned toward Chen Gang and glared at him, “Chen Gang, do you have a death wish?”
Chen Gang remained completely fearless.
He shrugged casually, “Didn’t you say it yourself this morning?
After seeing her, you suddenly became so motivated to study for the college entrance examination.
You heard her talking about it, and immediately afterward, you decided to study seriously.”
He then glanced toward Mu Wanqing again, “And more importantly, you found her interesting when she was dressed in those old clothes.
Now that she’s properly dressed…” Chen Gang deliberately paused, “I’m sure your interest will only grow.”
Zhang Jianjun’s eyes unconsciously drifted toward Mu Wanqing again.
At that exact moment, she smiled at manager.
Under the bright lights of Aurora Club, her smile seemed to illuminate her entire face.
Zhang Jianjun froze, then his face slowly turned red.
Gu Chengze and the others immediately noticed.
Several of them secretly exchanged looks and struggled to suppress their laughter.
By now, however, Song Anqi’s face had become deathly pale.
She had heard every word Chen Gang had said.
More importantly, she had carefully observed Zhang Jianjun’s reactions.
That final moment, when his eyes had fallen upon Mu Wanqing and his face had actually turned red, made Song Anqi’s heart skip a beat.
A powerful sense of panic suddenly rose within her.
She immediately stepped forward.
“Brother Jianjun, what are you talking about?” Her voice carried her usual coquettish sweetness.
She walked toward him and stood naturally beside him before giving him a shy smile, “You must be tired after studying the entire day, aren’t you?”
Her voice softened even further, “I have already asked our family butler to prepare the finest quality bird’s nest and other supplements.
Tomorrow morning, I was planning to personally make bird’s nest soup for you and bring it to you.”
Her intentions couldn’t be clearer when she said this.
She wanted everyone to know how close she was to Zhang Jianjun.
Now she just wanted to know Zhang Jianjun’s response.
She waited for his response, but Zhang Jianjun said nothing.
The smile on her face slowly stiffened.
Song Anqi raised her eyes slightly, then she froze.
Zhang Jianjun was not looking at her.
His gaze was still fixed intently on Mu Wanqing.
A cold shiver ran down Song Anqi’s spine.
Han Yiran, standing nearby, immediately noticed her friend’s expression.
Her face darkened as well.
Feeling indignant on Song Anqi’s behalf, she turned her gaze toward Mu Wanqing and glared coldly in her direction.
Just as she was about to say something else, a sudden gasp broke through the tense atmosphere.
Gu Chengze stared in the direction of the clubhouse attendants and exclaimed, “Is that…
Fillico Jewelry Black King water?”
Immediately, everyone’s attention followed the direction of his finger.
A clubhouse attendant was walking toward Mu Wanqing, carefully carrying an exquisitely crafted, chilled bottle of water.
Under the brilliant lights surrounding the racing circuit, the bottle itself looked less like an ordinary drink and more like a piece of art.
Gu Chengze let out a long sigh, “So this is what it looks like in real life.
I always knew there was bottled water worth fifty thousand yuan per liter, but I never imagined the bottle itself would be this beautiful.”
The Fillico bottle possessed an unmistakably regal appearance.
Its elaborate metallic crown-shaped cap gave it the silhouette of something belonging in a royal collection, while the Swarovski crystals embedded across the bottle glittered beneath the lights of the racecourse. Read this novel at novelping . com for the best experience.
“The general manager is certainly being attentive,” Chen Gang remarked, his gaze shifting thoughtfully toward Mu Wanqing.
“This only tells us more about what kind of background she must have.” Then he turned toward Zhang Jianjun, “Brother Zhang, do you still think it is a good idea for us to go over and meet her?”
Zhang Jianjun did not hesitate, “Why wouldn’t it be?
We are not going there to steal anything from her.
If we have the opportunity to make an acquaintance, wouldn’t that be better?”
The moment those words entered Song Anqi’s ears, the color drained from her face.
Just moments ago, she had tried to speak to Zhang Jianjun, yet he had barely paid attention to her.
Now, however, he was openly discussing the possibility of approaching that mysterious girl.
Slowly, Song Anqi turned her gaze toward Mu Wanqing.
Her eyes traveled over the young woman from head to toe, and suddenly, Song Anqi felt as though an invisible hand were slowly tightening around her heart.
Her eyes reddened with anger.
For a brief moment, resentment flashed openly across her face as she glared at Mu Wanqing.
However, when she noticed Han Yiran looking at her, Song Anqi immediately changed her expression.
The anger disappeared as quickly as it had come.
In its place appeared a faint, painful smile.
It was a smile that seemed to say, It is fine.
I am all right.
That was enough.
Han Yiran finally lost what little patience she had left, “What is wrong with all of you?” she suddenly shouted.
“Have all of you gone blind because of the things surrounding that bitch?
Can’t you see that this entire thing might be a setup?
She is clearly trying to lure you in!” She raised her hand and pointed directly at Mu Wanqing, “And you, stop pretending to be a cheap seductive slut and tell me exactly why you are here.
Who are you trying to approach?
Is it the Chen family?
Or is it the Zhang family?”
Mu Wanqing had been speaking with the general manager, casually asking him about the other facilities available at Aurora Club.
The sudden shout caught her completely off guard.
She turned around in surprise and saw a young woman standing several meters away, pointing directly at her with an angry expression.
For a moment, Mu Wanqing was genuinely confused.
Even the general manager and the personal attendants standing behind him were stunned.
Zhang Jianjun and Chen Gang were equally bewildered.
Neither of them understood why their family names had suddenly been dragged into the conversation, but the words Han Yiran had used were so unpleasant that both men’s expressions immediately darkened.
Chen Gang was the first to lose his temper, “Han Yiran, did you eat dog shit for dinner?” he snapped.
“Why is your mouth so filthy?
If you cannot say anything decent, then shut your mouth and stand quietly as a spectator!”
Although Chen Gang was genuinely furious, his choice of words was so unexpectedly crude that several of the young men nearby could not hold back their laughter.
Especially Xu Jiahao.
He burst out laughing without restraint.
Han Yiran’s eyes widened in disbelief.
For several seconds, she simply stared at Chen Gang.
Then her face turned red with anger.
“Chen Gang!
You actually dared to speak to me like that for the sake of that vixen?” She pointed toward Mu Wanqing again.
Then, unable to control herself any longer, Han Yiran strode angrily toward her, “Just look at her!
Does she look like one of us?” Her eyes swept over Mu Wanqing with open contempt, “She is wearing Zara.
Zara!
A cheap high-street dress.
Look at her hair, it is not even properly styled.
And she isn’t wearing any decent jewelry either.
She looks like a pheasant trying to force her way into high society without understanding anything about fashion, luxury brands, or how people in our circle actually live.”
This time, Zhang Jianjun could no longer tolerate it.
His expression turned completely cold.
“Enough, Han Yiran.” He took several slow steps toward Han Yiran, and when he spoke, his voice was low and frighteningly calm, “If you do not shut your mouth now, I will not mind making sure you never have the opportunity to open it again in this lifetime.”
Han Yiran immediately shivered.
She knew Zhang Jianjun’s temperament far too well.
Among the younger generation of Shanghai’s wealthy families, Zhang Jianjun was not someone people casually provoked.
He was usually indifferent and reserved, but everyone who knew him understood one thing very clearly.
Once he truly lost his patience, he was far less restrained than most people.
Han Yiran’s face turned pale.
Instinctively, she turned toward Song Anqi with a pitiful expression.
Song Anqi herself was frightened by the coldness in Zhang Jianjun’s voice.
However, she also understood something.
If she did not take control of the situation now, she might never again be able to comfortably stand beside him.
Taking a quiet breath, Song Anqi stepped forward.
She moved naturally to Zhang Jianjun’s side and gently slipped her hand around his right arm, “Brother Jianjun, please do not be angry,” she said softly.
Her voice carried her usual sweet and coquettish tone, “You have known Yiran since she was little.
Her heart is pure.
She simply speaks too directly sometimes.
She was only worried that someone might be trying to take advantage of us.”
Then Song Anqi turned toward Mu Wanqing.
The gentle smile on her face was perfectly controlled, “Hello, Miss.
My name is Song Anqi.
I am the daughter of Song family.” She spoke politely, as though the unpleasant scene from moments earlier had never happened, “Please do not take my friend’s words to heart.
She is not a bad person.
Her temper is simply a little straightforward.
Since we have met like this, why don’t we become friends?
Tell me a little about yourself.”
Mu Wanqing was so stunned that, for several seconds, she could not form a single coherent sentence.
She simply stood there, looking from Han Yiran to Song Anqi and then toward the general manager, her mind struggling to understand how the situation had developed into this.
Just moments ago, she had merely been speaking with the general manager about Aurora Club and its facilities.
She had been preparing to return to the hotel afterward.
So how, exactly, had she suddenly become someone accused of trying to seduce wealthy young masters?
Mu Wanqing took a slow, deep breath.
Then she turned toward the general manager, “Am I missing something here?” she asked calmly.
“What exactly is going on?
Who are these people?”
The general manager was experiencing a turmoil of emotions.
Shock, Fury and Helplessness.
All of them churned within him at once.
However, when he saw Mu Wanqing’s genuinely confused expression, he mistook her silence for restraint and breeding.
In his eyes, despite being publicly insulted, the young woman had not immediately lost her composure or begun shouting like the others.
That alone made his decision.
He had already chosen his side.
The general manager turned sharply toward Han Yiran, “What exactly do you think you are doing, Miss Han?” His voice was no longer as polite as before, “Didn’t I already tell you that the racing track had been fully reserved by Miss Mu?
I allowed you and the others to remain in the clubhouse out of consideration for your status and your membership at Aurora Club.” His expression darkened, “But I never expected the daughter of the Han family to behave in such an unrestrained and vulgar manner.”
The moment those words fell, alarm bells rang in Han Yiran’s mind.
She might have been afraid of Zhang Jianjun.
But the general manager of a club?
That was another matter entirely.
Her face immediately twisted with anger, “General Manager, you dare speak to me like that for her?” Han Yiran took a step forward, her voice rising, “Have you forgotten your position?
Or have you forgotten who I am?” She pointed to herself arrogantly, “I am an esteemed Gold Card member of Aurora Club.
I spend hundreds of thousands of yuan here every month.
Is this how you intend to treat me?” Then her gaze shifted toward Mu Wanqing.
The general manager’s expression immediately changed.
But Han Yiran had already lost control of herself, “Don’t tell me she is your mistress.” Her eyes fell upon the Fillico Jewelry Black King bottle that had been brought for Mu Wanqing.
She let out a cold laugh, “Look at you, personally offering her Fillico Jewelry Black King water.
I have been coming to this club for years, and I have never seen you so attentive toward anyone.
Does the management above know that you are favoring your mistress and allowing her to behave however she pleases inside Aurora Club?”
The entire atmosphere froze.
For a moment, no one spoke.
Mu Wanqing had been confused until now.
But this time, her expression slowly changed, her eyes darkened.
A coldness settled over her beautiful features.
Inside her mind, System 888 exploded as well.
[Who is this filthy-mouthed girl?
How dare she insult my daughter like this?
How dare she!
Child, teach her a lesson!
We do not care whether she belongs to the Han family, the Tan family, or the heavens themselves.
If there is a problem, Daddy will deal with it!Just tear that filthy mouth…]
Suddenly, System 888 fell silent for a few seconds, then…
[Ding!
Side Mission Triggered.]
[System Analysis: Dignity is not bestowed by an audience.
It is a throne that the host must occupy without asking anyone for permission to sit upon it.
Self-respect is the one asset that cannot be gifted, reward-coded, purchased, or granted by a system.
It can only be defended.
The future supreme heiress of this world does not borrow her worth from silence, nor does she wait for permission to be respected.
She protects her dignity as she would protect her own bloodline, without apology, without hesitation, and without retreat.
Because the moment another person’s voice is allowed to define her value is the moment she has already surrendered the throne she was born to occupy.]
[Mission Objective: Defend your dignity.]
[Reward: Aurora Club Black Diamond Membership Card with account balance of 100 million yuan.]
The moment the notification ended, Mu Wanqing understood exactly what System 888 wanted.
However, even without the mission, she had already made her decision.
There were some things she could ignore.
There were also some things she would never tolerate.
Mu Wanqing slowly stepped forward.
Her movements were unhurried and posture remained graceful.
Then she looked directly into Han Yiran’s eyes.
“Apologies,” Mu Wanqing said softly.
Her voice was calm.
Too calm, “Now…”
Everyone present was stunned by the sudden change in her atmosphere.
Even the general manager quietly took several steps backward.
Although he was furious, he did not dare interrupt Mu Wanqing.
Han Yiran, however, had already lost all sense of restraint, “No.” She sneered, “I will not apologize.” Her voice was filled with arrogance, “What are you going to do about it?”
She took another step forward, “This is Shanghai.
Do you think you can do whatever you want simply because you arrived here with an expensive car?” Han Yiran snorted coldly, “You might be able to fool everyone else with your little act, but you cannot fool me.” Her eyes narrowed, “This expensive car.
That number plate.
The attention on social media.
Wasn’t all of this carefully arranged to attract the attention of wealthy young masters?” She laughed disdainfully, “You thought you were clever, didn’t you?
I know exactly how you obtained all of this”
Mu Wanqing’s expression became increasingly cold.
The last trace of warmth disappeared from her eyes.
At the same time, Zhang Jianjun’s expression darkened.
Gu Chengze immediately sensed the increasingly dangerous atmosphere.
He stepped forward and spoke in a low voice, “Han Yiran, enough.
Do not cross the line.
You do not even know this young lady.
How can you accuse her of such things?” Gu Chengze frowned, “Apologize now.
There is still time.”
But Han Yiran had already stepped onto a road to no return.
She glared at him, “Apologize to her?
In your dreams.
And stop calling her a young lady.
She looks more like someone’s mistress to me.”
Han Yiran continued, completely unaware that she was pushing everyone around her closer to the edge, “Didn’t you hear what the manager said earlier?
The entire racing track was booked through one of Aurora Club’s most important partners.
What does that tell you?
She doesn’t even have a proper membership here.
Someone sent her here.
A sugar daddy.
She knew all of us would be here tonight.
She came deliberately to attract your attention, and I must admit, she did it very cleverly.”
Han Yiran laughed, “And that car?
Didn’t everyone see what was trending on Weibo?
A gift from Daddy to his little princess.” Her voice was filled with venom, “Just imagine what kind of ‘Daddy’ that must be.”
That was it, the final thread holding Mu Wanqing’s anger together snapped.
She moved and ithout warning…
Slap!
The sharp sound echoed across the clubhouse.
Han Yiran’s head snapped to the side.
For a moment, no one moved and no one even breathed loudly.
Han Yiran felt a sudden, burning force explode across her left cheek.
Pain followed immediately afterward.
Her ears began ringing.
She slowly raised a hand and covered her cheek.
Her eyes widened.
For several seconds, she simply stared at Mu Wanqing.
She could not believe what had happened.
She had been slapped?
Before her mind could fully process the humiliation…
Slap!
The second strike landed, this one was even louder.
A collective gasp rose from the crowd.
Han Yiran stumbled slightly and her mind went completely blank.
But Mu Wanqing was not finished.
Slap!
A third strike.
Slap!
A fourth.
Four slaps, one for every accusation and every filthy word that had crossed Han Yiran’s lips.
Mu Wanqing finally stopped.
Her palm had turned slightly red.
She lowered her gaze toward her hand and sighed softly.
Then she looked back at Han Yiran.
“Open cesspits really should be properly covered, otherwise, who knows what kind of disease they might spread?” Then her gaze settled on Han Yiran once more, “And I must say, this is the filthiest cesspit I have ever seen.
It need proper repair.”
