Chapter 70: Reunions and screams.
It was a night unlike any other at Jiang’s Oasis, one of the city’s most exclusive bars were the rich liked to party. The bar was famous for its AI bartenders with an attitude and holographic DJ’s that played beats so good that even the drinks seemed to dance. The atmosphere at Jiang’s oasis was always inviting, the human bartenders and servers, extraordinarily good looking.
Celebrities competed every year for the opportunity to endorse Jiang’s Oasis. It was a place where secrets if the ultra-rich and famous were whispered. One secret could be the difference between a life of poverty and one of wealth.
Tonight, it was even more crowded that usual and yet security had been multiplied, only specific guests were being allowed into the bar. Money alone could not buy one an opportunity to mingle with the children of the nobles and ultra wealthy that were partying inside.
The reporters that had been at the opening of Pearl Space Camp where the only members of the media allowed inside. The rest stood outside and took pictures of guests as they arrived, sulking as they missed the opportunity to be among the guests.
They constantly checked their phones, waiting for an update from the mighty little peepstar.
In walked the VIP of the night Jun Meilin, in an outfit that left the guests amazed. They expected to see her in a dazzling dress, jewelry dripping from her hair to her toes. Instead, she was dressed as if she had plans to involve herself in combat later on.
Then again, divorce was combat, many thought, especially those that had been divorce before. Whatever her choice in outfit was, tonight she was celebrating her divorce from Mo Lang-the man she had once given up her glittering world for.
They had all seen the videos of him kneeling outside Phoenix group for three days to convince her mother to allow him marry her daughter. He had promised her forever and sunsets and instead delivered arguments, emotional abuse, a mistress and a bastard child.
As Mei Mei sauntered to the stage where the holographic DJ’s were spinning their beats, she was joined by Rose and Jiang Ruby, the owner of the bar. She was the niece of Jiang Cherry, her uncle Ringo’s wife.
