Chapter 39
Wait, she really didn't ask Tan Lingling the name of that beauty salon!
Thinking of this, Zhu Yu looked at Tan Lingling, who was hailing a taxi.
—Although she appeared to be hailing a taxi, she actually spent most of her energy persuading Zhou Ye not to show up right now.
"Ah, the name?" Hearing Zhu Yu's question, Tan Lingling was taken aback. It wasn't that the name was particularly sensitive, but rather that Tan Lingling sensed something was amiss.
Why did she suddenly think of asking for a name? Who reminded her? Shi Ru?
If it were Shi Ru, would he know the truth about this beauty salon? What if Zhu Yu decides not to go?
Zhou Ye, who was excitedly chatting on her phone, had finally been calmed down. If Zhu Yu didn't go, she would definitely be the one to suffer.
The consequences of ruining Zhou Ye's mood were something Tan Lingling dared not recall.
"The bus is here! Get on first, get on first!" Fortunately, the driver arrived in time, giving Tan Lingling an excuse to delay.
No matter what, we have to get her there first. That way, if Zhu Yu tries to run away again, someone will be able to stop her.
As for Shi Ru, Zhou Ye will definitely have to fight with others himself; little Karami Meimei can just stay out of the spotlight.
Tan Lingling dragged me into the car. Oh well, I'll just send Shi Ru my location when we get there.
Since the two are now partners, their relationship is much closer than before. Zhu Yu readily accepted Shi Ru's offer to pick her up and drop her off at the airport.
Of course, Shi Ru believed that this increase in intimacy was the result of his own efforts.
Because of motion sickness, Zhu Yu didn't look at her phone on the bus. After arriving at their destination, she sent her location to Shi Ru, and the beauty technicians came with bags and packages to ask them to change clothes.
After putting their phones and bags in the storage area, Tan Lingling took Zhu Yu to soak in the hot springs.
Don't ask if you can soak in the hot springs so early in the morning. The final destination is someone to be delivered to Zhou Ye's bed. You can't just send them up in a dirty state.
When Tan Lingling came here again, she felt a mix of emotions. The waiters who had led her there before gave her a wink from the crowd.
I don't know what it means, but that's about it.
As Tan Lingling watched Zhu Yu being surrounded by people, her steps gradually slowed down. For a few seconds, she had considered whether or not to tell Zhu Yu the truth.
But... that's Zhou Ye, the one who tormented her until she was covered in wounds, the one who could control everything in the entertainment industry.
Moreover, somewhat subtly, Tan Lingling actually wanted to see Zhu Yu, who was always optimistic and cheerful, as if nothing could defeat her, in a state of despair and collapse.
Just like her state of mind when she was picking up ashes with tweezers at the funeral home.
Tan Lingling admits she's not a good person, so—let's go to hell together, Zhu Yu~
Zhou Ye was monitoring Zhu Yu and Tan Lingling's every move in real time. He only relaxed completely once they were on his own turf.
There's no rush to have the food served. The most crucial factors in determining the deliciousness of a dish are its preparation and cooking.
A forced relationship is never sweet, but a forced relationship is the sweetest.
Zhou Ye planned to appear in front of Zhu Yu again when she was most relaxed, so that he could taste the beauty's tears of despair.
She would plead and struggle, and just thinking about it made his waistband feel incredibly tight.
Imagine Shi Ru's anger when he finds out he'll dump the person on the street after he's had his fill of them.
Zhou Ye, in high spirits, waved his hand and mercifully ordered the bodyguards to take the person away after glancing at the person tied to the rack.
Upon seeing the location, Shi Ru was thunderstruck. The shady dealings behind Zhou Ye's club were no secret in the industry.
After all, the Zhou family had made many exchanges of benefits through this place, but Zhu Yu was obviously unaware of these things.
Her roommate has ulterior motives!
"Miss Zhu, this is a special drink prepared for you."
Zhu Yu chose a milk pool with floating rose petals to soak in. As soon as she lay down, someone came over to help her apply a face mask. Now, they even put straws in her drinks and put them to her mouth.
"My goodness, your service is amazing!"
The waiter smiled, took a wooden tray and placed it on the water, then put the drinks and prepared snacks on it.
"You get what you pay for, and our service has to be worth the price."
That makes perfect sense. Zhu Yu rested her head on the headrest in the reclining position and comfortably closed her eyes.
"Lingling, how much does it cost to spend here? I'll have to pay you back when we leave."
Neither of them are big-name celebrities; they only earn a few thousand yuan per episode of a TV series. If their spending is too high, it would be inconvenient for them to treat others.
I gave an awkward laugh. Things had come to this point, and the fish on the chopping board was actually saying he wanted to split the bill with me.
Tan Lingling didn't know whether to laugh at Zhu Yu's naivety or at her own cruelty.
"No need, I have a lot of money in my card, it's all gifts from others, I don't need to spend my own money."
"I see."
...
When Shi Ru arrived, Zhu Yu had already changed into a new set of clothes and was lying on the massage bed in the private room on the third floor.
Whether it was the incense in the room that had a calming effect or the aftereffects of the sparkling wine, Zhu Yu fell asleep shortly after lying down.
"Boss, the person is asleep."
"Bring the person up."
Holding the walkie-talkie, Zhou Ye watched Shi Ru suddenly stop and try to rush upstairs on the monitor. He sent a message to several subordinates: "Stop him. Don't let him go upstairs."
Several burly men in black surrounded Shi Ru.
Clearly, Zhu Yu is not yet in Zhou Ye's hands, and time cannot be wasted!
Shi Ru gritted his teeth, clenched his fist, and swung it at the opponent.
Then, taking advantage of the moment when the others were trying to block, he bent down and crawled out from under their arms.
The massage bed was on wheels. The attendant thoughtfully covered Zhu Yu with a blanket, and then, together with another attendant who came in, pushed Zhu Yu out the door.
The corridor was covered with a thick carpet, which caused the wheels to dent. Two thin girls struggled to push the bike forward.
"A bunch of good-for-nothings!" Anyone who has worked for Zhou Ye for so long couldn't possibly not know who Shi Ru is.
It's Zhou Ye's business whether he's not afraid of Shi Ru or not. The bodyguards know very well that if Shi Ru is injured, they will be the first to be pushed out to appease the anger of others.
Although Zhou Ye is very loyal to his brothers, his bodyguards don't count as his brothers.
So the few grudges assigned to obstruct Shi Ru's mission... were bodyguards. They only needed to exchange a glance to understand each other's intentions.
Life is like a play, and a play is like life!
"Tell those two in the hallway to find a room and hide the person there." With that, Zhou Ye stopped watching the show and got up to rush downstairs.
Shi Ru didn't take the elevator; she ran up the stairs instead.
He didn't know where Zhu Yu was, but he knew where the elevator to the upper floor was. He figured he could find her by looking down from there.
"Hey, isn't this Shi Ru? What brings you here today?" The elevator doors opened, and the two bumped into each other.
Zhou Ye felt a little regretful. When they were renovating, they only installed one elevator to the upper floors for the sake of privacy.
"Where is he?" Shi Ru asked, not in the mood to waste words with him.
Intending to stall for time and lure Shi Ru elsewhere, Zhou Ye feigned ignorance: "Who is it? Did one of your friends wander in by mistake?"
"Don't worry, your friend is my friend, Zhou Ye's friend!" He stepped forward and put his arm around Shi Ru like two good brothers, secretly pulling him to the other side: "Come on, tell me, which one is your friend? I'll have my men find him for you right away!"
Shi Ru watched him put on a show with a cold eye. He had only been here once before, and it was obviously unrealistic for him to find the person on his own.
Therefore, we still need to use strategy.
Since Zhou Ye came downstairs, it meant that Zhu Yu was currently safe. Thinking of this, Shi Ru felt somewhat relieved.
The corridor was very quiet, so quiet that only Zhou Ye's voice could be heard. In this environment, a rustling sound coming from the opposite direction alerted Shi Ru.
When they received the message to hide with Zhu Yu, Shi Ru had already rushed up. The two of them could only barely turn a corner and hide in a blind spot.
Only after Zhou Ye appeared and calmed them down did they continue pushing the people into the nearest room.
The luxurious carpet became Zhu Yu's lifeline as she lay unconscious. A waiter leading the way accidentally bumped into a fire extinguisher placed in the corridor.
The sound it made caught Shi Ru's attention.
But just as the person ran over, they closed the door, preventing Shi Ru from catching them in the act.
Looking at Shi Ru, who was completely out of control, Zhou Ye felt both secretly pleased and annoyed.
Zhu Yu's arrest here won't harm Shi Ru's interests, so his saintly demeanor only makes him seem like a villain.
"Why are you in such a hurry? Who exactly are you looking for?"
Zhou Ye jokingly tried to pull Shi Ru away.
"I'm looking for the future young mistress of the Shi family." Having successfully shaken off Zhou Ye, and unable to find the person, Shi Ru was no longer willing to maintain the superficial peace.
That look actually startled Zhou Ye, who was amused by his own reaction.
"Young Madam? Does Aunt Shi know? You haven't secretly pledged your life to some wild woman, have you?"
Zhou Ye scoffed, "I'm not trying to be mean, but Xiao Shi, you're still too young. Someone of your status can find anyone she wants."
"How about this, you come upstairs with me, and I'll show you around and give you a taste of the world today!"
"No need," Shi Ru said coldly, swatting away Zhou Ye's hand that was reaching out to grab him again. "You can go about your business. I can find it myself."
I pushed open the nearest door... and there was no one there.
Shi Ru walked forward.
It seems this person is determined to find them today... Although Shi Ru knows where this place is, he absolutely cannot leave any evidence to target the Shi family.
After all, he was crazy enough to dare to use the title of "future young mistress".
I wonder what Shi Yaqian, that woman, would think if she heard that her son was going crazy for a minor celebrity.
Zhou Ye hinted to someone to wake Zhu Yu up and hide all clues.
As for whether Zhu Yu is truly the "young mistress," let Shi Yaqian decide!
"Bang! Zhu Yu!"
Shi Ru moved quickly, opening most of the door in the corridor before finally...
This room is not empty anymore.
"Zhu Yu?" He walked over and gestured to the two servants who had retreated to the side to turn the person over.
