Chapter 742: Like Master, Like Dog
by xennovel“Boss Meng… is… is dead?”
An incredulous voice broke the silence in the room.
This was like a spark igniting a powder keg as the entire place erupted into chaos.
“Boss Meng was actually beaten to death!”
“Damn it! My money! All the money I just won is gone!”
“Shit I lost big time. If only I hadn’t bet on Boss Meng I wouldn’t have lost my last bit of savings!”
“Hahaha I won I actually won! Hahaha I’m rich! I’ve struck it rich!”
Those who bet on Meng were filled with regret now wishing they could turn back time.
Meanwhile those who took a chance and bet on Long Yi were now grinning like idiots some even fainting from excitement.
After all the odds were ten to one!
“This… this is impossible! How could this be!”
The smile on Xiao Huang’s face had long since frozen replaced by shock and disbelief. He stood up abruptly from the sofa.
He couldn’t believe that Meng had been beaten to death.
But the facts were right before his eyes and he had no choice but to accept them.
“Young Master Xiao it seems your man is just as useless as you are. But that’s normal after all like master like dog.”
Xu Shaochen said mockingly into the microphone looking at Xiao Huang.
Xiao Huang’s face alternated between pale and flushed as he gritted his teeth and said “Xu don’t get too cocky!”
As soon as he finished speaking he turned to leave. Staying any longer would only be embarrassing.
“Young Master Xiao aren’t you forgetting something? Shouldn’t you go down and do a striptease for everyone’s entertainment?”
“Don’t tell me the renowned Young Master Xiao is going to go back on his word.”
Just as he turned to leave Xu Shaochen’s teasing voice reached his ears.
Everyone looked at Xiao Huang with schadenfreude.
Xiao Huang had been too arrogant in Jingcheng. Now that they could see him in trouble without offending him everyone was naturally pleased.
Those who had lost money suddenly felt a bit better.
Looking at it from another angle the money they lost couldn’t buy them a striptease performance from Xiao Huang.
So now it was worth it.
Xiao Huang stopped in his tracks turned back grabbed a nearby microphone and said word by word “Xu don’t push your luck!”
The reason he had made that bet was because he never thought he would lose.
If he were to do a striptease this incident would spread throughout Jingcheng by tomorrow.
He would become the laughingstock of everyone. How could he save face?
“So what if I’m pushing my luck? A bet’s a bet Xiao Huang. I’m sure you know the rules here. There’s no backing out.”
Xu Shaochen said with a smile. Meilan was very considerate with a rule: once a bet is made regardless of its form backing out is not allowed.
This rule was to prevent people from refusing to pay up after losing a bet.
“Young Master Xiao please don’t make things difficult for us.”
Two security personnel from Meilan entered Xiao Huang’s private room and respectfully said to him.
“Xu Shaochen! You really want to fight to the death with me!”
Xiao Huang’s eyes were bloodshot his fingers gripping the microphone so tightly that his knuckles turned white.
“The fish will definitely die but the net might not break. Xiao Huang start your performance everyone’s waiting to enjoy it.”
After saying this Xu Shaochen looked around and raised his voice “It’s Young Master Xiao’s first time performing his special act in front of so many people. He’s a bit shy let’s give him some encouraging applause.”
“Clap clap clap clap clap…”
In an instant thunderous applause filled the venue.
“Xiao Huang see? So many people are waiting to watch your performance. You’re even more popular than a celebrity now!”
Xu Shaochen said to Xiao Huang with a grin not hiding his glee at all.
“Young Master Xiao please.”
The two security personnel from Meilan clubhouse stepped forward and flanked Xiao Huang.
“Fine fine fine Xu Shaochen this isn’t over between us!”
Xiao Huang said through gritted teeth his voice trembling as he stepped out of the private room and onto the ring.
“Could the staff please set up some lighting and music? Let’s get our Young Master Xiao moving to the beat.”
Xu Shaochen called out into the microphone.
As soon as he finished speaking the lighting in the venue changed and rhythmic music began to play.
Xiao Huang stood in the middle of the ring his face as dark as if he had eaten shit. His hatred and anger towards Xu Shaochen had reached its peak.
Taking a deep breath although Xiao Huang was extremely unwilling he didn’t dare go back on his word at Meilan.
Left with no choice filled with humiliation and anger he began to dance to the rhythm while stripping off his clothes.
Originally in Xiao Huang’s private room the two women were looking at each other in disbelief.
Wasn’t this the dance they usually performed to please Xiao Huang?
They never imagined they would see Xiao Huang perform it now. It was truly — an eyesore.
This wasn’t Xiao Huang’s fault. After seeing it so many times he naturally remembered it and now he was just performing what he had seen.
“Hahaha… I’m dying of laughter Young Master Xiao dances so well.”
“It’s a pity Meilan blocks all electronic devices otherwise I’d really want to start a livestream.”
At first everyone tried to suppress their laughter but later they couldn’t hold it in anymore. One person laughed so hard tears streamed down their face.
The sight of a grown man doing a striptease with a cold expression was too beautiful — so beautiful it was hard to watch.
Finally the song ended.
“Did Young Master Xiao dance well? Let’s give him a round of applause and encourage him to do another one!”
Xu Shaochen took on the role of a host with the microphone trampling Xiao Huang’s dignity into the ground rubbing it in like the devil’s footsteps.
“Clap clap clap clap…”
“Well danced! One more! One more!”
“One more!”
There’s safety in numbers. Usually these people were very afraid of Xiao Huang but now with so many people chanting together no one was afraid anymore.
“Xu! You fucking wait for me!!!”
Xiao Huang shouted hysterically his voice breaking. He grabbed his clothes that he had stripped off during the dance and fled the scene in a sorry state.
He felt he had never been so humiliated in his life.
If he didn’t avenge this grudge he wouldn’t be human!
“Hahahaha…”
In an instant everyone in the venue burst into laughter.
“Now Xiao Huang’s reputation in Jingcheng has really gone up a notch. The Xiao Family has become famous along with him.”
Chen Ju said with schadenfreude feeling an inexplicable satisfaction at seeing Xiao Huang in such a sorry state.
“From now on when we see Xiao Huang we should call him Dancing Queen Xiao. It’s out of respect for his profession.”
“That’s right we can’t discriminate against him just because he’s a male stripper. We should encourage him. There are too few good people willing to sacrifice their dignity to entertain others.”
Zhao Li and Liang Huan chimed in. If Xiao Huang heard these words he would surely cough up blood from anger.
