Chapter 5 Intentional Provocation

Taking a taxi to the hospital, Anna took out the fifty thousand she had saved recently and was about to transfer it to her mother's account. As for the one hundred thousand that Jack offered, she refused in the end. How could she accept the money of a villain who threatened her with her mother's life? That night in the hotel, she returned the two bank cards to him. But when the nurse checked the account information, she said, "Someone has already deposited five hundred thousand in the account."

Five hundred thousand? Anna was shocked. 'Who is so generous?'

"Excuse me -"

As soon as Anna entered the ward, she grabbed the nurse's hand and asked, "Has anyone visited my mother recently?"

"I don't think so."

The nurse frowned and thought for a while. Then she added, "But it seems that someone has consulted Director Zhang about your mother's condition. He is quite handsome."

'A man?'

Anna was confused again. Only Mandy and Jeff knew that her mother had cancer. Even Jack didn't get the news until a few days ago, so he threatened her to cooperate with him with her mother's life. Otherwise, how could she work with him?

Anna sat on the edge of her mother's bed uneasily for a long time, and she lost in thought--

In the evening, she adjusted her mood and came back to the HY Club. When Mandy saw her, she walked toward her and trapped her hands and feet. "Where have you been? Why didn't you go back yesterday? I called you but it couldn't get through. Did Vincent take you away? Did he do anything to you? I heard that Jack was arrested. Does it have anything to do with him? Vincent is so awesome. Jack is sort of a big figure in L City. How could he be defeated by him so easily? Vincent is awesome!"

Anna scratched her ear and asked helplessly, "Which question do you want me to answer first?"

Mandy pouted, "I just care about you! You are so ungrateful."

With a bitter smile, Anna said, "All right, all right. It's my fault for not calling you earlier. I shouldn't have let you worry about me. But don't worry. I'm fine. Vincent didn't do anything to me."

Mandy had always treated Anna as her sister, and she was easy to lose her mind. If Anna really told her that Vincent asked her to take the rest of her life as compensation, she didn't know what Mandy would say in front of him. "What's going on in the club today? No one is picking on you, right?"

"No."

Speaking of business, Mandy became serious. She held Anna's arm and frowned. "But Anna, I think you might be targeted. Since we started our business today, dozens of people have come to find you to drink with them. Moreover, each of them takes a private room, and ordered twenty bottles of beer. They are all waiting for you."

Anna's heart skipped a beat. 'Who is this? Even if she was good at drinking, she wouldn't play like this--'

Before she could figure out how to deal with this situation, Jeff had already smoked a cigarette and swaggered towards her angrily. "Anna, you've been looking for trouble recently, haven't you? Don't you know the rule of the HY Club that one must be in place before five o'clock? Do you know how long you have kept the guest waiting? If it weren't for so many people ordering you today, I would teach you a good lesson! Hurry up! Go and serve the guests quickly! I'll skin you alive if you act like this next time!"

Being pushed into the private room, Anna turned around and saw a young man behind her stiffly. She forced a smile and said, "Sir, do you want me to drink with you?"

After visiting seven or eight tables in a row and drinking thirty or forty bottles of beer, Anna felt her belly was about to explode. She couldn't help but go to the bathroom and once again spit out the wine she had just drunk.

Although her stomach was elastic and she could drink a lot, she couldn't stand the continuous drinking. She just couldn't bear that much--"Vomiting--"

When she was vomiting, Mandy hurried in and patted her on the back. She asked nervously, "The guests still want you to drink? Anna, you can't drink anymore!"

"Swoosh--"

Raising her head from the toilet, Anna slumped onto the floor, panting. "Drink, I have to drink! I have to drink!"

One hundred dollars for a bottle of wine. Why didn't she drink it?

Although she wasn't sure who had transferred five hundred thousand to the hospital's account to relieve her pressure for the time being, she wouldn't accept the money. Her mother needed to accept the follow-up treatment, so she had to make money and drink them all!

"You!"

Mandy hated her the most for being like that. She locked her in the bathroom angrily and walked towards those who deliberately made trouble. "Listen, Anna. As long as I'm here, I won't let you torture yourself like this!"

Anna was too drunk to catch up with Mandy. She knocked on the door again and again, wanting to go out, but she felt weak all over and her body was burning--

"I'm so sorry. Anna is not feeling well. She can't drink with you anymore. I'll drink the rest of the wine on behalf of her!"

"Who do you think you are?"

The person waiting in the private room didn't take Mandy seriously at all. He pressed the cigarette between his index finger and middle finger into the ashtray, and grabbed Mandy's chin. "Go and get Anna here. She is not allowed to leave until she dies today!"

"Anna is really not feeling well. What if--"

"Fuck off!"

The man slapped Mandy on her face mercilessly. Obviously, he had lost his patience. "I said get Anna here! Anna! Do you understand?"

After becoming the Madam of the club, Mandy hadn't been slapped for a long time. She was so anxious that she almost pinched him. At this time, Anna pushed the door open and came in. "Mr. Li, I'm really sorry for being late. Please don't embarrass my sister. I don't want your tip. Please let her leave and I'll continue to drink with you. How does it sound?"

"That's good."

The guest sat back on the sofa again. Enduring the discomfort, Anna pushed Mandy out of the room and said, "You know how much I can drink. Beer is like water to me. I won't get drunk no matter how much I drink. I'm just a little full. I'll go to the bathroom every now and then to deal with it. Don't worry about me. Go and see other guests."

"Anna!"

Mandy was really a little angry. She grabbed Anna's arm and glared at her. "You can't drink anymore! Some time ago, you drank too much and suffered from gastric spasm. If you continue to drink like this, you will have gastrorrhagia! I can't let you do that! You can't drink it anymore!"

For fear that Mandy's words may displease the guests, Anna turned around and said with an apologetic smile, "Give me two minutes. I'll be back as soon as I send Mandy out."

She dragged Mandy out of the room. Unexpectedly, the guest named Li suddenly said, "Don't you want to drink? That's okay. We're not unreasonable people. Anna, if you really don't want to drink, as long as you promise me one thing, I'll let you go tonight."

Anna stopped and asked with a smile, "Mr. Li, what do you want me to do?"

The guest smiled wantonly, loosened his belt a little bit, crossed his legs and said in an arrogant manner, "If you don't drink wine, then drink urine! As long as you drink my urine, I will let you go!"
