Zuo Yue seemed to have thought of something again. She suddenly turned around and lifted the blanket. There was no blood on the bed.
Her gaze paused. Although her body was sore as if she had been run over by a car countless times, she felt as if nothing had really happened.
She tried her best to recall, but all she could think of was the scene of Xu Chengfeng throwing her into the bathtub and washing her with cold water, and even letting her soak in the cold waterâ¦
âHissâ¦â Zuo Yue massaged the various tired and sore spots on her body and then raised her hand to rub her forehead. She heard some movement outside the door and turned around to open it.
However, she only saw the room service staff cleaning up the room next door.
Zuo Yue looked at the room service staff in confusion, then looked at the other doors in the corridor and asked directly,ââDid the people who lived in those rooms go out?â
When the room service staff heard her words, she turned around and replied,âThe gentlemen and ladies who lived in those rooms have already checked out this morning. Of the few rooms on this floor yesterday, only this one hasnât checked out.â
âChecking out? Didnât they come here to discuss something? You left so quickly to wait for your order?â
âSorry, Iâm not sure. But Miss, before Mr. Xu left, he told us to prepare breakfast for you when you wake up. Would you like to have breakfast now? Although itâs almost noon, you should be hungry, right?â
âBefore I leaveâ¦â Zuo Yue muttered to herself as she looked down at her phone. She called Xu Chengfeng again, but no one picked up.
For a moment, an inexplicable fear surrounded her. She suddenly turned around and walked out. The room service staff quickly closed the door behind her and turned to follow her.âMiss, do you want to eat something? You havenât changed out of your pajamas. Mr. Xu asked us to buy these pajamas from a nearby convenience store last night. Although they fit you well, the weather outside is very cold. Miss, you canât go out like this. Youâll catch a cold!â
Zuo Yue did not seem to hear the concerned voice behind her. She ran all the way to the front, took the elevator to the first floor, and searched the surroundings of the hotel lobby. There was still no sign of Xu Chengfeng, his secretary, or his assistant.
There was no sign of them, including the few British business partners she had met by chance yesterday.
Zuo Yue pursed her lips tightly. She held her phone as she stood behind the transparent glass door of the hotel and looked at the white snow outside. Her heart felt empty bit by bitâ¦
It shouldnât be like this.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Why did he suddenly leave without a word?
If itâs just something to do, itâs not possible to use words like leave.
What was leaving?
Where to?
Leaving her alone in the hotel and leaving just like that?
Wasnât he having a meeting or discussing something with someone nearby? He just left. Was that all? He left so easily?
Lian Keying, who had already asked someone to check the surveillance cameras in the hotel to see if Zuo Yue had been taken away by someone last night, came out of another elevator with a sullen expression. As soon as she walked out, she saw Zuo Yue standing there like a stone. She immediately walked over quickly and grabbed Zuo Yueâs arm to turn her around fiercely. When she saw her pale face and empty eyes, she was stunned for a moment and then immediately laughed.
âI thought you ran away last night. Looking at you, did you mess around with some man and donât know who did it to you, so you ran out and stood here in a daze? Did you meet some man in this hotel last night?âLian Keying was about to explode from anger because her plan last night seemed to have failed. Now that she saw Zuo Yueâs dejected look, her mood instantly brightened up.
Zuo Yue glanced at her and did not say anything.
âHey, Iâm talking to you. Did you have a good time last night? Didnât you say that Iâm promiscuous? Didnât you say that I was messing around outside? Look at you now, look at you. Who is messing around outside? Some people couldnât even remember how they slept with each other and spent the long night with each other, right?â
Zuo Yue continued to stare at her quietly. After staring at her for a while, he unexpectedly raised his hand and slapped her face.
Suddenly, Lian Keyingâs face darkened. The people passing by looked at them curiously. Zuo Yue looked at Lian Keyingâs hateful face expressionlessly and said in a very soft and slow voice,ââLian Keying, itâs a flaw in your character that you like to stir up trouble. Donât force your brainlessness and childishness on me again and again. If you want to drag me into hell, Iâm afraid youâll have to cultivate for a few more years.â
Although Zuo Yue had hit her, she did not show any agitation or anger after being violated. Lian Keying covered the half of her face that had been hit and glared at her coldly,ââDidnât you already drink the thing I gave you last night? Why are you still so arrogant? Did you come out in pajamas to tell everyone that you slept with someone last night?â
Zuo Yue sneered and looked at her with pity.ââLian Keying, do you know who I am?â
Lian Keying put down her hand and looked at her angrily.ââWhatâs wrong? Youâve been wearing the halo of the Zuo familyâs young lady since you were young, and now you still want to use your halo of being born with a golden spoon to suppress me? What ability do you have? Isnât it just better to be in the game? Isnât his surname Zuo?â
âYes, my surname is Zuo, but it just so happens that the word Zuo can make your Lian family unable to stand in America. I can already foresee the future of your family.âZuo Yueâs voice was still very, very soft. She looked at Lian Keyingâs strange expression and said,ââWe have known each other for so many years since we were young. You always thought that I had the halo of the Zuo family. I have never flaunted my family name or anything. I have never hurt anyone because of my prominent family background.â
âBut today, Lian Keying, I will let you know the painful price you have to pay for offending me.âAfter Zuo Yue finished speaking, she turned around indifferently and continued to look outside. She still did not see Xu Chengfengâs figure. She dialed another number on her phone.
It was not until the call was connected that Zuo Ying turned to look at Lian Keying, who was standing beside her, looking indifferent as if she was not afraid of her at all.
âHello, Uncle Chen, itâs me.â
âIâm at the Rolls Royce Hotel. Please pick me up. Also, I once had a classmate named Lian Keying, do you still remember? Yes, itâs the girl who participated in throwing me on the Winter Camp Mountain. I want her to disappear from my sight completely, get out of Los Angeles, and lose her reputation, including the Lian familyâs business. You know better than me what to do. In short, I hope that she will spend the rest of her life in regret and poverty.â
