BXBX NOVEL Chapter 109: Huo Yi, Help Me Find Some Women
io hours later, the airplane smoothly came to a halt at Country Y Airport.
Outside the airport, dozens of luxury cars were already parked, waiting for the major figure inside to disembark. After coordinating with the pick-up personnel, Huo Yi entered the cabin and, seeing the man who hadn’t slept at all, his eyes filled with bloodshot, he was taken aback and quickly bowed his head to ask, “Master Jue, the cars have arrived. Would you like to head home first, or go to the company?”
Once off the airplane, Li Beijue bought a new mobile phone, turned it on with great enthusiasm, but found not a single text message or missed call inside. His thin lips suddenly pressed into a straight line, his face expressionless as he tossed the phone into the trash can. He plunged his hands into his pockets and said coldly, “Huo Yi, help me find a few women.”
“Find a few… women? Women?” Huo Yi stuttered, seriously doubting he was dizzy, for Master Jue had never liked those women coming close to him. Why would he suddenly want to find women?
Being the butler of the Li family was certainly no easy task. With a thought back to previous events, he quickly had an epiphany.
Master Jue was angry with Miss Chi; it seemed the two hadn’t reconciled yet. “Are you deaf, or do you not understand human speech? I want women, women!” Li Beijue said with displeasure, his look not at all as if he wanted female company, but rather as if he wanted a handgun to kill someone. He tugged at his collar, clearly agitated, needing a female companion for an afternoon engagement to fend off those bothersome women who would throw themselves at him.
After all, Huo Yi was a servant and couldn’t possibly defy Li Beijue’s command. Although he wanted to advise him, he still respectfully went to do as commanded.
The Li family held vast influence in Country Y, and although Li Beijue seldom returned to Country Y, he had a villa here that resembled a castle.
“Welcome, Master Jue, backhome.”
Over a hundred maids in uniform demonstrated impeccable etiquette with their salutes; if not for the fact that it was the 21st century, one might mistake the scene for the return of an emperor to his palace. Unfortunately for those greeting him, the man they welcomed bore a stern face and an aura that seemed to say ‘strangers are not welcome.’
Within a few minutes, Huo Yi hurriedly led several carefully selected beauties into the castle.
The castle was pure European architecture, rumored to have once been a pavilion built outside by Louis XIII. The inside decoration was extravagantly luxurious; priceless paintings worth hundreds of millions on the outside were only casually hung in the corridors here. The exquisite marble corridors were unspeakably expensive, not to mention the hall.
Xie Tingling was visiting such a place for the first time, and seeing the women beside her gasping in astonishment like they hadn’t seen the world, a flash of contempt crossed the bottom of her eyes. Yet, upon further inspection of every decoration here, she couldn’t help but reveal a look of greedy envy.
“Please wait a moment, ladies; Master Jue will be here soon.” The maid led the women into the hall and then quietly withdrew.
The others called alongside Xie Tingting clustered together, excitedly discussing the owner of the villa. They were all famous local socialites and had no interest in talking to Xie Tingting, the out-of-towner.
Hmph, what’s so great about that? Men judge women based on the figure and face, not the birthplace. She didn’t believe she couldn’t win over a group of silly women speaking in their bird language. Xie Tingting didn’t care one bit about being excluded, looking all over the villa’s furnishings with every kind of charm… They waited for a good half-hour before the living room door was finally opened. A man wearing only a bathrobe came down the staircase.
