Chapter 26 - My Brother-in-Law and I are Over the Moon (Part II)
This Curse Is Just Awesome
âYes, Foot Bath City. Brother-in-law, you have no problem giving me a treat, right?â
âTreating you is not a problem at all. I should⦠Butâ¦â Looking at the two words âFootâ and âBathâ glittering on the big plaque, the bearded man hesitated. âItâs not that appropriate to be having fun here, is it?â he said.
âItâs just a foot massage. Whatâs wrong with that?â Chen Yu went over to the other side of the car where the passenger seat was and dragged the bearded man out of the car, ignoring his protests. âIâve always wanted to go, but itâs too expensive. Brother-in-law, since youâre rich enough, you can take me out and open my eyes to the outside world.â
âButâ¦â
âBe the man. Letâs just not think too much and have fun to our heartsâ content!â
Closing the door, Chen Yu led the bearded man into Foot Bath City. In his previous life, because of work, he frequently visited this place.
âWelcome.â Entering through the door, one could see a red carpet right in the middle on the ground. On the right and left of the door, on either side of the carpet, more than ten beauties in Cheongsams were bowing neatly.
âWelcome to Clearwater Entertainment Hub.â A man in a suit, who seemed to be the manager, approached them and said respectfully to the bearded man, âHow many of you are there, Sir? What activity are you interested in?â
âIâ¦â the bearded man started.
Chen Yu picked up where the bearded man left off and said, âFirst, weâll go to the third floor for a short karaoke session. Then, weâll have the full massage package. Last but not least, weâll have dinner. Just the two of us.â
âAlright.â The manager immediately shifted his focus to Chen Yu and said, âSir, how may I address you? Are you a member of our entertainment hub?â
âYou can call me Brother Yu.â Chen Yu waved his hand while walking inside and said, âFind us some pretty babes. At this time of day, the good-looking ladies are all around. Donât hide them. Bring them all over.â
âUnderstood! Rest assured I will, Brother Yu.â The manager smiled even more happily and helped them press the elevator buttons. Then he asked, âCan I get you both any drinks?â
âDonât bring us those fanciful, gaudy red wines that are who knows how many years old. I heard that you have some special offerings in your wine cellar in basement two. Bring us a few bottles. Oh right, you guys serve some pretty decent white jade sea cucumber sashimi. Bring us two plates of that, and send a fruit platter to our room as well.â
âGot it!â
âLetâs have four plates instead. The young ladies will need some food too.â
âUnderstood! Iâll go notify the kitchen.â
Together, they took the elevator up to the third floor, and then the manager led both Chen Yu and the bearded man into a luxurious cabin. Then, he went out to gather the girls.
Chen Yu sat down on a soft sofa so naturally that it seemed like he had long been accustomed to doing this. He unscrewed the cap off a bottle of high-end cocktail and poured two glasses of it. Then he said, âBrother-in-law, try this. Itâs quite good with a fruity flavor.â
âYouâ¦â The bearded man hesitantly took the glass and asked, âDo you come often?â
âNo.â Chen Yu took a light sip and swallowed before replying, âIn this lifetime, itâs my first visit here.â
âIâd be a fool to believe you!â
The bearded man had an exasperated expression on his face, reflecting the helplessness he was feeling.
âSit. Thereâs no need to stand on ceremony.â
âOkayâ¦â
âThe pretty ladies will take a while. Thereâs no rush at all. We can just chat in the meantime.â Chen Yu grabbed a handful of dried food and asked while eating, âHow did you get to know my sister?â
âYour sister works in my factory.â
âOh! So youâre my sisterâs boss! I see. Eh? But I thought the boss of her factory was a mean old man, no?â
âThatâs my fatherâ¦â
âAh, I see.â Nodding, Chen Yu pointed to the cocktail and asked, âWhy arenât you drinking it?â
âI have to drive.ân/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
âDrive what? Weâll just have some fun, and tonight weâll hire a driver to take us home.â
âThis isnât goodâ¦â
âBrother-in-law, listen to Brother Yu. Thereâs nothing bad about this!â Chen Yu patted the bearded man on the shoulder and said, âIâm about to sit for the college entrance examination, right? You have to know how to relax and unwind. Brother-in-law, after you get married, it wonât be so convenient for you if you want to head out for some fun. Besides, weâre just singing songs and flirting around. Weâre not actually doing âthat thing,â so thereâs nothing to feel shy about.â
The bearded man: ââ¦â (speechless)
While they were talking, the manager had already brought a group of pretty ladies with him into the room.
The manager started the introductions. âThis is Brother Yu.â
âHello, Brother Yu.â The girls bowed gently and greeted Chen Yu in their pleasant, melodious voices.
âThis isâ¦â The manager then looked at the bearded man again.
Chen Yu raised his voice and said, âCall him brother-in-law.â
The ladies all spoke in unison, âHello, brother-in-law.â
The bearded man: ââ¦â (speechless)
âAll of you, stand properly and let our two brothers here have a good look at you.â
The girls were very familiar with the way things worked and stood in a row. Under the illumination of the lights inside the cabin, their teary eyes looked so seductive because they were just so bright and glistening.
Chen Yu took a sip of cocktail and leaned back against the sofa as his eyes swept across the line of girls. He reached out and pointed, calling out, âYou, you, you-you, and her.â
The manager nodded and said, âThe rest of you can leave now.â
âNo.â Chen Yu waved and said, âThe few that I pointed out can leave. The rest can all come over.â
âOh, oh.â Realization dawned on the manager. âOk, the few of you can leaveâ¦â
âBrother-in-law, whereâs your card?â Chen Yu turned his head to look at the bearded man.
âItâs hereâ¦â
âAlright.â Taking the credit card, Chen Yu, who seemed very familiar with the place and what should be done, passed it to the manager and said, âServe us the drinks and fruit platter.â
âGot it. Brother Yu, take your time and enjoy yourself.â The manager was secretly praising Chen Yu for knowing the rules. He took the card and took his leave very courteously.
âDear little sisters.â Chen Yu took the microphone and said, âThose who canât sing well shall not sing. Those who can dance well shall select their songs in advance. No one is allowed to use their phone. And weâre definitely going to tip you all generously.â
âThank you, Brother Yu.â
âWhatâs there to thank? Come here quickly.â
The pretty young ladies instantly flocked over to him and sat around the sofa.
Music started playing.
The atmosphere in the cabin gradually warmed up.
Chen Yu had his left hand around a girl with wavy curls and his right around another with straight black hair. Amidst the rumbling music, he shouted to the bearded man, âBrother-in-law, relax! Which babe do you like? Pick your own. You have to take the initiative, understand? Is it because Iâm here that you canât loosen up?â
ââ¦â With a sigh, the bearded man raised his hand and found a few that looked pleasing to him.
âMy brother-in-law is a little shy. You all have to work hand-in-hand with one another, understand? If you do a good job keeping him company, your tip will be doubled.â
âGot it, Brother Yu.â
âDonât worry, Brother Yu. Weâre professionals.â
âYour beard is so sexyâ¦â
Seeing how the bearded man was drowned out of sight by a sea of babes, Chen Yu was very satisfied and took a selfieâ¦
Time went by as song after song played.
They clinked glasses, proposing toast after toast to each other. After downing a few glasses of wine, the bearded man opened up, embraced one woman on each side, left and right, and saw to it that the microphone never left his hands. He was in very high spirits.

Chen Yu had pushed away all the girls and sat in a corner where he drank in silence.
The thing was, he was under a [curse], so no matter how much he drank, he still wouldnât get drunk.
âBrother Yu, are you unhappy?â A girl came up close to Chen Yu, held his arm, and rubbed herself against him.
âHis singing is simply terrible.â Chen Yu downed every single drop of alcohol in his glass and fretted, âIâm close to losing it.â
âHow aboutâ¦â The girl batted her eyelids and said, âWe get another smaller, private room just for the two of us? Have some fun?~â
âIs it safe?â
âDonât you worry about it.â
âAll right then.â Nodding, Chen Yu got up, wrapped his arm around the girl, and walked over to the bearded man. When he was by the other manâs side, he said loudly, âBrother-in-law, the two of us are going next door. You know what I mean.â
The bearded man raised a glass of wine, and with a wicked smile on his face, he said, âYes, I get it. Go ahead. The rest of these babes are all mine.â
âOK.â
Walking out of the cabin, Chen Yu took out his phone, raised it high for a selfie, and said, âHey, babe. Come closer.â
âLike this?â
âCloser, more intimate.â
âHow about this?â
âVery good.â
âClickâ¦â
After taking one photo, Chen Yu sent it along with the photo heâd taken earlier on and directly posted them to his circle of friends.
