WBSGVS Chapter 258 Part 1

Chapter 258

Wei Xuwei froze on the spot.

She might not know exactly what the Green Shade Club was, but seeing the row of eight handsome young men standing in front of her like this… she could put two and two together.

Especially one of them, wearing a deep V-neck shirt—when he bent down to bow, eight perfectly defined abs came into view, making her suck in a sharp breath.

At that moment, Manager Ji spoke casually.
“I won’t disturb you two any further. If you need anything, you can tell them directly or place an order on the computer in the corner. We can bring it right to you.”

With that, she left.

The handsome men straightened up after bowing and found themselves looking at… a tall-short pairing.

Unlike Manager Ji, they didn’t have much worldly experience. Their expressions instantly turned awkward and unnatural.

Why is there… a ten-year-old girl here?

Can minors… even come in?

Wei Xuwei stood stiffly, unable to move. The shock was too much—she didn’t know what to do with her hands or feet. What confused her even more was—how had her daughter found a place like this?!

“May I have your name, miss?” One of the young men finally plucked up the courage to step forward and ask softly.

Even his voice was ridiculously pleasant to hear.

Qing Li nodded in satisfaction. Worth every cent of the original owner’s allowance she’d blown—looks and voice, all exquisite.

But the sound of someone speaking broke the silence, and Wei Xuwei came back to her senses. Forcing a strained smile, she said, “We… don’t need anything. We’ll just go…”

The young men exchanged puzzled looks.

Wei Xuwei was already pulling Qing Li toward the door—

But Qing Li stopped her.

“Mom, I spent nearly three hundred thousand on this!” Qing Li refused to leave, tugging hard. “We can’t just waste it!”

“Three hundred thousand?!” Wei Xuwei’s voice shot up an octave. Her palms itched to smack her, yet she couldn’t quite bear to walk away from that much money. But the thought of this place made her skin crawl—especially with eight young men staring at her.

Hair prickling at the back of her neck, she turned to them and said, “Could you all step outside for a bit?”

“Of course.” They nodded quickly, sensing something was off. One added, “If this were an impulse purchase, you can talk to our manager. A refund might be possible.”

With that, they filed out.

Once the door to the private room was shut, Wei Xuwei raised her hand, ready to smack her troublesome kid.

Qing Li instantly dove into her arms, voice trembling like she was on the verge of tears.
“Boo-hoo… Mom, go ahead and hit me. I did it for your own good. If you beat me to death, you’ll just lose the daughter who loves you most!”

She hugged her tightly, looking genuinely scared and sad.

Wei Xuwei’s anger stalled mid-swing. She wanted to discipline this brat so badly, but she couldn’t bring herself to do it. Gritting her teeth, she glared at the small head in her arms.
“You dare to pull something like this? Do you even know what it means?!”

Even if she divorced, she couldn’t do it under the stigma of cheating—otherwise, she and her daughter would never be able to hold their heads high.

After all, the world was more forgiving to men. If a man cheats, his kids usually don’t get blamed. But if a woman cheats, her kids—especially daughters—will be dragged through the mud right along with her.

Qing Li tilted her head up, meeting her eyes, and murmured, “It means… fairness.”

Wei Xuwei: “???”

Qing Li explained softly, “Mom, I’m the one who booked the hosts, not you. And besides, if Dad can stay up late having heart-to-heart talks with another woman, then you can do the same with another man. I can vouch for both of you; nothing bad will happen.”

Who in their right mind would bring their kid along to cheat?

Besides, the booking had been made under Qing Li’s name and paid for with her own money.

Qing Li had coaxed her here on purpose. She knew her mother’s traditional nature made it impossible for anything to happen with these men, not to mention the safety risks. Her goal wasn’t for her mom to actually do anything, but to shake her up, make her see the divorce more clearly, and be mentally prepared.

Wei Xuwei’s breathing steadied a little. Hearing that, she couldn’t immediately find a rebuttal. She even felt slightly relieved—A Li didn’t seem to understand anything inappropriate. She’d probably just searched online for “men to chat with” and got recommended this place.

Yes, her daughter was a handful, but it all came from wanting to protect her.

Last night, Qing Li had seen Shao Mingxuan chatting with Su Qiu. She’d also heard he’d left for the office again afterward—probably guessing the truth.

He had left after getting a phone call from Su Qiu.

When she went back, she’d argued with Gu Junyi. During that call, both of them had been at the dining table, so it was quiet enough for Qing Li to hear everything. When Shao Mingxuan said he had to step out, she didn’t even question him—just let him go.

Their marriage had long since grown bland. She’d thought that was fine—better than couples who descended into domestic violence. At least her life was still comfortable. But she hadn’t expected something even more hurtful to happen.

Still… in all her thirty-plus years, Wei Xuwei had never imagined herself hiring a male host. Now she wanted to leave, yet couldn’t bring herself to waste three hundred thousand. She just stood there, stuck.

Seeing her mother calm down, Qing Li peeked up and said, “Mom, let them come in. We can play games together—ten people make two teams. Or just pick a few you like, chat for an hour, and then we can go.”

“An hour for three hundred thousand?!” Wei Xuwei’s heart hurt all over again.

She’d come from an ordinary family. Even after more than ten years as a wealthy wife, she was frugal and introverted, rarely going out or spending money.

She simply couldn’t comprehend spending three hundred thousand dollars for one hour of small talk with a few men.

Qing Li coughed lightly. “What can I say? I booked the best—top privacy, top service, and they’re all first-timers after training…”

“Shao Qing Li!” Wei Xuwei exploded again.

Why did her kid sound like some spoiled Playboy?
