Chapter 498 - Family’s Private Clubhouse
Translator: Thyaeria
When the meal came to an end, Ni Jingqiu was in a great mood since Kohei Koizumi seemed pretty satisfied with her arrangements.
At the same time, Gu Rushan’s family has already been arranged to head for the commercial clubhouse under the Newlight Media in a luxurious vehicle. This was a clubhouse that was used for receiving guests, and it had all the services you could possibly think of.
While leaving the vehicle, Yuan Cui pulled onto her husband, Du Bing and sighed, “Your cousin is doing pretty well herself. This is like a scene out of a movie. I never expected that I would be able to experience it for myself. It looks like my trip to Beijing wasn’t in vain.”
On the other hand, Gu Daoshan’s expression became even uglier. He’s an official, and logically speaking, he’s forbidden to visit this sort of place.
The walls were decorated with wooden carvings, soft and thick carpet that laid on the floor, and chandeliers that hung from the ceiling that filled the place with an artistic and luxurious sense.
When the attendant heard that they’re guests of Ni Jingqiu, her attitude was exceptionally amicable as she led them to a new building and introduced, “Because you guys are Chairman Ni’s guests, you can let us know if you have any needs. In this building, we have a restaurant, swimming pool, bowling alley, gym, karaoke, dance hall, and various other facilities that you guys can enjoy.”
Upon hearing that there’s a swimming pool in this building, Yuan Cui’s gaze instantly changed as she whispered in Du Bing’s ears.
Giving an embarrassed glance at his wife, Du Bing thickened up his face and asked, “We didn’t bring our own swimsuit, so do you guys provide them?”
“We do provide swimsuits here with all kinds of measurements. But we have limited designs, and if you’re a regular here, we can order one based on your preference.” The attendant smiled.
“Your service here is so attentive! How can I get a membership card here? It must be expensive, right?” Yuan Cui praised.
Hearing her words, Gu Rushan’s face turned green. Yuan Cui was usually bright, so why did she behave like a country bumpkin now?
However, the attendant did not show any emotions with a smile maintained on her lips. “I’m sorry, but we’re not open to the public. Therefore, we do not provide any membership cards since this place is only open to the guests of the corporation.”
Understanding her words, Yuan Cui’s world was toppled. The wealthy were truly not the same. She’s only at the level of getting pets, while others have created such a grand private clubhouse for their own friends for free. This was practically the pinnacle of luxury.
This private clubhouse was an asset of the Ni Family, so Ni Jingqiu naturally had the authority here as the direct descendant of the family.
Amongst the four prominent families, not all the families had their own private clubhouse, since one of this scale required at least billions and over a hundred million on maintenance fees alone! Thus, not all of the families have such vast wealth.
Although this clubhouse didn’t seem to be able to bring in any profits, it’s the Ni Family’s sturdy foundation of maintaining and accumulating their connection.
Then again, not everyone could be invited over. If it wasn’t for Su Tao treating her and her mother, Ni Jingqiu wouldn’t have made this suggestion.
She’s not trying to tempt Su Tao with such a luxurious life, but if Su Tao appeared here, then it would be equivalent to him being connected to the Ni Family.
As for Gu Rushan’s family, Ni Jingqiu invited them over since she wanted to find a proper reason to invite Su Tao. Aside from that, it’s also part of the little thoughts hidden in the depths of her heart as a woman.
She did not hate Gu Rushan, but she only wanted to show off her capability before Su Tao.
Then again, it was a hidden thought that even she did not realise. She only did it out of instinct, just like how male animals would try to attract their counterpart’s attention.
Since there were various types of entertainment available here, everyone split up with Gu Daoshan, and his wife looking for somewhere quiet to have some tea while Yuan Cui wanted to swim.
Before she got married, she often visited the swimming pool and gym. Her objective was to find her future partner there, aside from keeping fit.
Although she did not meet Du Bing in a swimming pool, it could also be considered a direct connection since she first got to know Du Bing’s friends at the swimming pool, and she got introduced to him through a meal as the girlfriend of that friend.
After several interactions with Du Bing, she realised that the family of the man she got to know from the swimming pool wasn’t comparable to Du Bing, so she found an excuse to dump him.
After that, she used her break up as an excuse to ask Du Bing out. After several meetings, Du Bing naturally fell for her, and they got married soon after.
Thus, she was reminded of her time when she wore a bikini in the swimming pool back then with all the males ogling at her. But ever since she got married, she had toned it down.
Since Du Bing didn’t know how to swim, he turned to his wife. “Darling, I’ll not accompany you, or I might ruin your mood. I’ll head to the bowling alley, instead! It has been a long time since I went bowling.”
He just caught sight of the massive bowling alley. Back when he was still a university student, he would often go bowling. But ever since he returned to the county, he broke off from that interest since there’s no bowling facility there. Hence, he wanted to have some fun today.
Yuan Cui found sense in Du Bing’s words. She knew that her husband couldn’t swim, and wouldn’t it be embarrassing if he had to go into the pool with a lifebuoy?
“Hey sis, are you coming along?” Yuan Cui smiled.
“I’ll not be going! I want to chat with my parents.” Gu Rushan had no interest in wearing a bikini in an unfamiliar environment.
Since Yuan Cui has always been a lone wolf, she wouldn’t change her mind as long as she made her decision. Thus, she smiled. “Then, I’ll go swim for an hour before joining up with you guys at the teahouse.”
Seeing that his wife gave him an hour off, Du Bing immediately rushed to the bowling alley.
When Yuan Cui came to the changing room, she looked at all the swimsuits in the display and was dazzled.
She dreamt of staying in a villa by herself with her own private pool. But that lifestyle had been getting further and further away from her ever since she married Du Bing.
After picking a modern swimsuit, she looked at herself through the mirror. Although she had some fat on her abdomen, she’s still a charming and young married woman that posed high lethality to men.
When she came to the swimming pool, there weren’t many people there. There were two young women with excellent figures swimming in the pool.
As she stared at them, she exclaimed at their figures before looking at the man who was reading a magazine. She could tell that the two women must be that man’s companions.
A man with two women, that man was pretty capable!
When she sneaked a glance at that man, he did not have an outstanding appearance, but his figure was well-balanced. He was certainly much better than her bloated husband.
Suddenly, she was reminded of a friend who was a gym instructor. Even now, she was still infatuated with him, and she practically found an excuse to meet up with him every month to experience the wildness that she couldn’t get from Du Bing.
Before she got into the pool, she first wore a swimming cap. It was also at this moment that the man slowly stood up and stretched his body as the two women swam over in his direction. When the man sat by the ledge of the swimming pool, one of the women reached her finger out and jabbed on a particular spot of his body.
Watching this, Yuan Cui’s heart throbbed while wondering about the identity of that man who could be so bold and act so intimately in public.
Taking a deep breath, she immediately withdrew her eyes. For some reason, she felt as if the man was staring at her.
Standing on the stage, Yuan Cui flew as she pushed herself forth and drew an arc in the air before she dove into the water. Appearing after ten-odd breaths later, she first swam in butterfly-style before switching to frog-style and finally, backstroke.
Her synchronised swimming attracted the man’s attention, so he waved his hand to the attendant nearby and asked, “Who’s that woman?”
Since this man had an extraordinary identity, the attendant honestly replied, “She’s a guest invited by Missy, it’s her first time here today!”
“Oh? So she’s my elder cousin’s friend!” A weird smile rose on the man’s lips as he asked again, “Which company is she from?”
“I’m not too sure about that!” The attendant honestly replied and continued, “She’s not a regular customer here.”
At this moment, a woman came over and whispered, “Young Master Zhan, you wouldn’t be interested in that old woman, right?”
Pinching on her cheek, the man revealed an arc on his lips. “Why do you care what kind of women I like?”
“Because I’ll feel jealous!” The woman immediately replied, pampered.
Pushing that woman away, the man entered the pool and smiled. “I’ll go and greet her. Don’t worry about it, I’m not a heartless person.”
As the two women paddled in the water and splashed that man’s chest, he dove into the pool and swam in Yuan Cui’s direction like a ferocious shark.
On the other hand, Yuan Cui had no idea that she had been a target. She only felt her legs tense up, as if someone was holding onto them and lost her balance, feeling as if she had been zapped.
She felt like a fish being zapped with electricity and floated on the water without any resistance.
She had no idea that she had been assaulted by Young Master Zhen with her butt being groped.
As she exclaimed out, she lost her balance and sank into the water, taking a huge gulp of water in the process.
