With a bright future ahead, Gu Qian felt relaxed and less reserved. He ate and drank as he pleased, finding the food and drinks of this high-end hotel to suit his palate.
Having let loose for a moment, Gu Qian felt a little dizzy and hot.
"Wanwan, I want to find a room to rest. It's too late tonight, so let's not go back. Anyway, you don't have to work tomorrow, it's Saturday."
Xia Wan also had a plan; she wanted to knock on Zhuang Yan's door tomorrow morning and take him to catch him cheating.
Upon hearing Gu Qian say he wanted to rest, a nearby waiter stepped forward and asked, "Sir, would you like me to take you to the lounge?"
Gu Qian nodded and was helped away unsteadily.
Xia Wan didn't look at it for long. Taking advantage of Gu Qian's departure, she wanted to have a good talk with her father.
But when they were face to face, they didn't know how to start the conversation. In the end, Xia Qingshan asked first, "I heard you found a job as an assistant. How's it going?"
"fine."
Is making money easy?
"It's not easy."
How much is your monthly salary?
"Internship salary is 6000."
For a complete newbie, this level of internship salary is already quite good.
"You earn 6,000 a month, assuming you make no mistakes. After deducting rent, living expenses, and daily costs... how much will you have left? Do you know how high housing prices are now? On average, it's 30,000 per square meter. Your monthly salary can't even buy a toilet stall. A house costs 3 million. How many houses could Gu Qian buy with his 1 billion debt?"
“He owes a billion, not a hundred thousand. You could spend several lifetimes to pay it off. If you stay with him, he will only be a burden. He can't do anything but make you work hard to earn money. And there will be debt collectors coming to your door in the future. Do you want to experience this kind of life for the rest of your life?”
Living his whole life in a cramped rented room, without a car or a house, struggling for six thousand yuan his entire life, it seems like there's no end in sight.
She didn't like this kind of life. She still wanted to be chauffeured around in luxury cars, spend money as she pleased, live in a big house, have a personal chef and nanny, buy six-figure jewelry whenever she wanted, and have a single piece of clothing cost 6,000.
Xia Qingshan has already made things very clear. Xia Wan is so willful because she thinks that one day Xia Qingshan will take her back. She is fearless because she is the only daughter of the Xia family and because Xia Qingshan can't bear to part with her.
Throughout this cold war between father and daughter, she kept waiting for Xia Qingshan to back down, after all, she had plenty of time.
But the days after running away from home were too hard to bear; every day felt like an eternity.
Xia Qingshan didn't press her further. Instead, he told her to think it over carefully and come back to him when she was ready, otherwise he wouldn't agree to let her go home.
Once this matter is compromised, it will go on indefinitely, and the father will lose his authority.
"What if Gu Qian's debts could be resolved?"
Xia Qingshan: "Then let's wait until you solve it." It's completely impossible for them to solve it on their own.
After the father and daughter finished talking, there weren't many people left. Even Lu Yu went to the lounge because he had drunk too much.
Is Lu Yan's matter really foolproof?
Lu Yu said he personally escorted Zhou Quan to his room and heard Lu Yan's voice, so he figured that nothing would happen to his own hotel or his own people.
Xia Wan was worried, so she went upstairs to take a look and found bodyguards standing in the hallway, looking like they wanted to keep strangers away.
Fearing that someone would notice something was amiss, Xia Wan left.
That night, Xia Wan didn't sleep. She kept her eyes open, looking at her phone to pass the time, sometimes thinking about Zhuang Yan, and sometimes thinking about Xia Qingshan's words.
She no longer felt the same affection for Gu Qian as before. In the past, Gu Qian was like a childhood friend to her, a light that had been found for two lonely children. But now that light was growing dimmer and dimmer, like a candle flame about to go out.
After being with Gu Qian, she discovered that Gu Qian was not as good as she had imagined, and his character was not even good. In particular, the things he said about Lu Yan just now made her feel uncomfortable, even though she hated Lu Yan and wished for her to suffer.
If sacrificing her could bring benefits one day, would Gu Qian also replace her?
...
Once she was taken to her room, Lu Yan instantly sobered up, her eyes clear and lucid, showing no signs of being drunk or confused.
Not long after, Zhou Quan also came in, and Lu Yu's voice came from outside the door.
"Mr. Zhou, I wish you a wonderful evening."
Zhou Quan closed the door and rushed to check on Lu Yan: "Boss, are you alright?"
Lu Yan sat on the sofa, casually adjusting her skirt: "I'm fine."
"You've taken so much medicine, are you really okay?"
"I took the antidote beforehand."
That's why he's a big boss; he's even more thorough in his considerations than this guy.
Although she took the antidote, she still felt hot and dizzy from drinking such a large amount. Lu Yan had a strong will; anyone else would have probably passed out long ago.
Zhou Quan kept observing the situation outside, and only after confirming that everything was in order did he say to Lu Yan, "Boss, there's no one outside now. You can go find Mr. Zhuang."
"It's time to find him, or he'll get anxious." Mentioning Zhuang Yan made Lu Yan smile, her previously gloomy face brightening up.
Lu Yan put on a bathrobe and went out. She messed up her hair and knocked on Zhuang Yan's door with teary eyes.
Zhuang Yan was about to go find her when he heard the knocking and quickly opened the door.
What I saw was this scene: Lu Yan leaning against the wall, panting heavily, her face flushed, tears welling in her eyes, and painful groans escaping her nose.
Upon seeing Zhuang Yan, she immediately threw herself at him weakly, clinging to him like a koala, and cried in a pitiful voice, "Zhuang Yan, I feel terrible, they drugged me..."
Zhuang Yan stiffly supported her, his palm against her lower back, and could clearly feel that her body temperature was abnormal.
Besides the sweltering heat, there was also a fragrant aroma. Lu Yan looked at him pitifully with her large, watery eyes, like a homeless kitten.
“Zhuang Yan…”
“Ayan…”
"Please help me..."
"I feel so awful..."
Lu Yan kept snuggling into his arms. Although she had been drugged, she was still quite strong. Zhuang Yan used her strength to enter the room and slammed the door shut.
Once the door closed, Zhuang Yan came to his senses: "I'll take you to the hospital." If he touched Lu Yan now, wouldn't that be taking advantage of her in her vulnerable state?
"I'm not going to the hospital, I need your help." Seemingly understanding Zhuang Yan's thoughts, Lu Yan said, "If you don't give it to me, I'll get it myself..."
Lu Yan took off her bathrobe, and the loose skirt fell like a pomegranate flower.
"Do whatever you want tonight, without any worries, don't feel like you're taking advantage of me, Ayan, I need you, hold me tight, okay? I'm in pain..."
Zhuang Yan felt a flame enter his arms, threatening to burn his clothes.
