However, Xiao Wu inwardly thought that Bai Meiyue was thinking too beautifully. Even if they passed down the orders that no one was allowed to bully and insult Xu Yiyi and her girls, the chances of these orders being followed and adhered to were naturally impossible. Even Xiao Wu, who was loyal and respectful toward Bai Meiyue, felt that there was no way anyone was going to listen to this order. Worst came to worst, they would stop coming to this place altogether.
Why would they bother coming here with so many rules and laws attached? Just for a few seconds of pleasure, who would bother putting their entire life and comfort on the line? It would be better to stay away from this place rather than getting on the hit list of Bai Meiyue. At that moment, Xiao Wu suddenly paused; he seemed to have understood what Bai Meiyue was trying to do.
Maybe by putting these words out here in the open, she was playing with the minds of the men.
She, who came from a good family, would certainly look down on women like Xu Yiyi and her girls. Maybe she knows that even if she stopped the men from coming here, they would only try even harder to sneak inside this building behind the backs of the guards. So instead of stopping them, Bai Meiyue played reverse psychology tactics on these men.
Though men did like to sleep with women like Xu Yiyi, they were also quite notorious and arrogant. Men would often condemn women like Xu Yiyi and the girl who lived with her. By asking them to respect Xu Yiyi and the other women who were engaged in the soft-skin business, it was equivalent to asking them to curse at their mothers. It was a task impossible for the men to do.
More importantly, she asked Xu Yiyi to raise the price of every minute that she spent with another man. Two bowls of rice were enough for women like these... asking the men to pay more for them – that was simply too much.
Xu Yiyi also had the same thought. She knew that these men, no matter how sweet their words were when they were in bed with them, but when they donned their clothes and walked out of the room, turn around and condemn her and her girls for being shameless.
Xu Yiyi had heard these words way too many times and couldn’t be bothered by them, but when she heard Bai Meiyue say that the men who came to look for them had to respect them, she felt as if the woman was cutting off her path to survival. She chased after Bai Meiyue. Angry and upset, she didn’t even care about her image and shouted after Bai Meiyue, "What are you doing? Are you trying to stop the man from coming here? No matter how much you look down on my business, at least we are not harming others. Are we messing with you? We paid the money to stay in this place, honestly. So why are you passing down orders that you know men cannot follow? Isn’t it equivalent to cutting down our livelihood?"
"Just why are you doing this to us?"
"Who said that I am trying to cut off your livelihood?" said Bai Meiyue with a raise of her brows. She glanced at the woman behind her and stated, "Believe me or not, but I am not trying to do anything to harm you or the women living under your roof."
How was she supposed to tell Xu Yiyi that she would soon awaken her supernatural abilities? Though the woman lived a pitiful life after being dragged down by her careless and reckless mother, the woman was lucky and soon would awaken the top consort skills as her special abilities. While the skills sounded like nothing much, it was a really good set of skills. Xu Yiyi would soon rise to the top of the consort world with this set of skills, as just one performance of hers, whether it was singing, dancing or playing a musical instrument, would make several men entranced.
Back then, in her previous life, there would be a long line to just see Xu Yiyi. Men would come from all over the place to meet with her.
Bai Meiyue used to look down on women like Xu Yiyi, who would sleep with men for the sake of surviving, but after meeting and talking with Xu Yiyi, she couldn’t help but admire this woman, for she had created a wide network among the high and the low; there was nothing that she didn’t know. Like butterflies wandering in the gardens, Xu Yiyi and her women would scatter all over the city and would get every single bit of information, something that even the military people couldn’t do.
