Burning Passion

CHAPTER 339: APOLOGIZED

* * *

Upon entering the pub; a deafening sound and glimmering lights welcome the brothers. 

As everyone recognized the guests who just arrived, the dance floor suddenly froze. Later, the energetic teenagers hitting the dance floor are now taking a step aside to give way.

Most of the people inside that club greeted the Shang brothers. 

Their presence intimidated the men, in which the women stopped breathing and wished to be noticed; daydreaming to be these brothers' girlfriend. 

And as of tonight, every pair of eyes landed, particularly on one Shang. 

Steven pursed his lips. He honestly feels impatient rather than getting ecstatic.

Everywhere he goes, he always gets the attention of many women, but tonight, he is far more interested to meet anyone. 

More to say, every girl in this room didn't catch his attention. There's no one. Even one part of Nina's elegance and alluring beauty could match and steer his interest. 

Instead, it bore him to spare a glance to anyone at this club. Steven just simply wandered his eyes, searching for the stairs to the second floor of this club to escape from irritating curious eyes that were looking at him. 

Not long, a man approached them and told them to follow him upstairs.

Danny Sy, the owner of the pub met them in the lobby; handshaking with Raymond and Garry, and then his gaze shifted to Steven. 

He stretched his arm, but Steven raised his hand with a bandage. And this made Danny Sy taken aback to do a formal greeting. 

"I humbly welcome you, young masters!" 

"Quit it! We're here for drinks, of course." 

"Right! Follow me! I reserve the best room I have for you." 

Following his brothers silently, Steven casually looks around. The place is not bad. They designed it with contemporary settings. It's not only about the culture they grew up with, but the place is more like embracing a new trend. 

The second-floor lobby has a few guests that were drinking. To the look of how they dress, they were also from High Society.

Danny Sy leading the way; the Shang brothers followed the pub owner and ignored the people in that lobby. 

The room that Danny brings them is even more pleasant and has a more modern interior designed. In the middle are two round red sofas and a cocktail table filled with a different liquor. From fine wines, brandy, tequila, rum...

Raymond and Garry cheerfully sat down and started drinking, while Steven walked toward the floor-ceiling window of that room. 

His mouth twitched when he spotted the Shang men across the street. It seems like his father is serious about watching his every move. 

Steven clenches his left fist inside his pocket. He could not believe that his father is using this kind of countermeasure to his very own son. 

Is he some sort of criminal or murderer to be watched like this? 

Besides, these men are working personally for their great-grandfather. But now is following orders under his father? How ironic!

It made him extremely enraged that the elder changed his mind this way! Furthermore, it seemed the elder completely favored his father. Of course, Gilbert Shang has been dreaming to unite the Li and Shang household. 

But he should be the one to receive the reward! A marriage with Nina! However, Harry steals his chances that Nina would become his wife!

Until now, it troubles him what Harry told the elders and their parents they sided with him instead. He was certain that Harry said something to Li; the reason that he was now forbidden to get near Nina. 

Harry knew about the bruises on Nina's wrists. Maybe Harry told them he assaulted Nina that night! Maybe Harry made up more stories after he finds out about Nina's confession letter that he threw away! Now Harry wants to take revenge on him!

Steven stood restlessly near the floor-ceiling window, watching the dazzling lights on that street. He concluded that maybe it was the reason everyone is against him!

Steven tightened his jaw and gritted his teeth, glaring sharply at the bodyguards down below outside before he withdrew his gaze and walked toward the sofa. 

He sat next to Raymond while Garry sat to the other side. Steven stretched his arm to pick up the bottle of brandy when pain surges in his hand. He forgot that he injured it the other night. 

Ignoring the pain, Steven used his other hand to pour himself a liquor. 

"Let me help you!" 

Said of a charming voice that suddenly rushed to his side then held his arm to snatch the bottle in his hand.

However, the girl didn't realize that what she did was her biggest mistake. The sweet smile that pursed her red lips now twitching with pain after her body touches the floor. In front of her is a bottle of brandy thrown along with her after Steven jerks his arm.

"Don't touch me!" 

Steven yelled at the girl, whose face now paled and now staring at him with awe.

Steven looked at the girl downward. His gaze has no emotion but coldness on them. He doesn't even feel concerned when the girl falls on the floor by him.

Steven simply took another bottle and poured another drink on another clean glass, drunk it in one gulp as if nothing happened.

Everyone in that room, including the Shang bodyguards and the older brothers, was shocked at what Steven did. Not only that, his behavior is completely not like him. 

Both know that Steven is short-tempered. But he isn't this rude to girls. And he never started a fight unless it angered him with something serious...

The girl only offered help, but Steven overreacted like the girl was with infectious disease. 

Among them who were shocked, Danny Sy is the one who first recovered. He rushes to the girl to help her stand. After then, Danny bowed and apologized. 

"I am very sorry for my sister's recklessness, Young Master!" Danny elbowed his sister, Kara Sy, for her to apologize as well. 

Kara Sy believes she did nothing wrong. She was hesitant to do it, but this guy's presence makes her knees tremble.. Kara wipes the tears that are flowing down her eyes and is forced to open her mouth.
