“That’s right.” The general manager glanced at her impatiently. “Our hotel policy is that the customer comes first!”
"But the two of them..."
"I just overheard this lady say," the lobby manager interjected promptly, "that the two are a married couple!"
"Oh..." The general manager nodded seriously, feigning seriousness. "That makes things easier!"
"Since you two are a legally married couple, it's perfectly reasonable for you to live together!"
Han Li froze on the spot.
Xia Zhi, standing behind her, also looked extremely unpleasant.
"General Manager, isn't what you're saying a bit inappropriate?" Han Li was still trying to salvage the situation. "The laws of Southeast Asia don't stipulate..."
“This teacher,” the manager glanced at her, “do you understand Southeast Asian law, or do I?”
"this……"
"It's indeed inappropriate to register with one person's ID for two people to live in the same place. But this doesn't apply to married couples! Married couples are one entity, so it doesn't matter whose ID is used for registration!"
"Ha, I'm not from Southeast Asia!" Han Li said sarcastically. "Of course you can say whatever you want!"
"Since you're not from Southeast Asia, then don't interfere in our affairs!"
The manager's voice was booming, and he even emphasized the words "Nanyang".
After he finished speaking, he grinned and looked at Huo Junyu.
Young sir, please give me a good review!
The young lord did not disappoint him. He glanced at him indifferently, nodded politely, and then turned his face away to hug his wife tightly.
The manager gave an awkward laugh, feeling that he was superfluous standing there.
"What kind of attitude is this!" Han Li exclaimed. "I'm also a guest of the hotel, and this is how you treat me? I abide by the laws of Southeast Asia and report my own student; that's showing you respect! You're really ungrateful for my kindness..."
“Sir!” The manager straightened up and said seriously, “That’s how it’s stipulated by Nanyang law! We don’t allow two people to stay in one room to prevent illegal and criminal activities!”
"But this gentleman and this lady are a legally married couple!"
Upon hearing the word "legal," Jiang Mianmian felt a little guilty and instinctively grabbed Huo Junyu's clothes, glancing at him furtively.
Huo Junyu's heart melted when he met her gaze.
He secretly vowed to replace the fake marriage certificate with a real one as soon as possible, so that next time he came to Southeast Asia, he could hold her hand and walk around openly.
It also allows us to legitimately do some naughty things...
“Sir,” the manager sneered, “if you still don’t believe me, then I’ll get a lawyer to give you a rundown of Southeast Asian law? Or… I think you’d rather go to the police station and find out?”
"this……"
Han Li's face turned pale, her legs went weak, and she couldn't help but take two steps back.
Xia Zhi stepped forward to support her from behind.
Han Li turned around and glared at her... You brat, she actually asked her to do something so unreliable?!
The students and guests watching were also whispering among themselves.
However, the general manager smiled and bowed to Huo Junyu and Jiang Mianmian, saying, "You two have been frightened... To express my apologies, I will upgrade you to the hotel's most expensive presidential suite!"
"What?" Jiang Mianmian was deeply surprised.
Huo Junyu patted her shoulder and smiled, signaling her not to speak.
He then looked calmly at the manager and said, "I don't quite understand what you mean by 'apology'?"
“Ah…that’s right,” the manager glanced at Han Li and raised his voice, “Our hotel is one of the highest-star hotels in Southeast Asia, yet we failed to properly verify the identities and backgrounds of our guests! Letting some bad apples sneak in and stay here is truly a dereliction of duty!”
"What did you say?!" Han Li immediately shouted, "Who did you say? Who!"
The manager crossed his arms and gave him an impatient look. The bodyguards immediately sprang into action, grabbing Han Li's arms and trying to drag her out!
The students all widened their eyes and let out a low gasp.
“I’m sorry, Ms. Han.” The manager crossed his arms and looked at the information on the iPad in his hand, a hint of contempt in his eyes. “Upon verification, your total assets are less than one million US dollars, so you are not eligible to stay at our hotel at this time.”
"According to Southeast Asian law, hotels have the right to evict guests who do not meet the check-in standards!"
"So..." the manager sneered, enunciating each word clearly, "you're asked to leave!"
Han Li's eyes widened, her ears rang, and her mind went blank.
What... what kind of ridiculous laws are these? Nobody told her about them before she came to Southeast Asia!
"What? What are you talking about!" Han Li shouted hoarsely like a shrew, pointing at the students watching, "What about them? Have you investigated? They all have a million US dollars? And Jiang Mianmian, I know this student! Her family owns a small supermarket, and she never even gives me gifts! She's so stingy! How much money does she have?"
"Hey, Teacher Han, I've put up with you for too long!" At this moment, a student stood up and retorted, "You yourself don't meet the admission standards, and you're trying to drag us down with you?"
"Exactly! Ha, Professor Han, you've received quite a few gifts from us before! Don't you know what kind of family we are? You can't even come up with a mere million US dollars? What a joke!"
"Teacher Han, this is not how a teacher should behave! What you're doing is misleading students!"
"You, you all..."
Han Li was panting heavily, but the students, as if they had planned it, each rolled their eyes at her and turned to leave.
Only Xia Zhi remained standing there, staring blankly at everything before her, a hint of fear in her eyes.
When her eyes met Huo Junyu's, she hurriedly lowered her head.
Without saying a word, the hotel manager ordered the bodyguards to take Han Li out.
Han Li struggled hysterically, and in the end, she and her luggage were thrown onto the street.
Huo Junyu held Jiang Mianmian's shoulder and couldn't help but chuckle as he looked at the little woman's stunned expression.
"Alright, it's all a misunderstanding," he said in a low voice. "Didn't the manager just say he was going to upgrade us to the presidential suite? Hurry up and pack your things."
"Huo Yu." Jiang Mianmian had a strange feeling in her heart. She turned to look at him, her eyes gradually becoming puzzled.
His sharply defined face was so clearly visible in front of her, yet she seemed unable to see it clearly.
Those who cannot see him clearly cannot see what kind of person he really is.
Huo Junyu gently stroked her face, "What's wrong?"
“It’s nothing…” she lowered her eyes, “I just find all of this very unbelievable.”
“I think so too,” Huo Junyu chuckled. “That’s probably what makes Southeast Asia so special. But since we have such nice rooms, let’s not waste them, right?”
Jiang Mianmian nodded, turned around and went into her room to start packing her luggage.
Huo Junyu excused himself to go out for a smoke, closed the door, and slowly walked to the end of the corridor.
Xia Zhi stood with her back against the wall, her eyes fixed on him.
"Miss Xia," Huo Junyu said coldly, a slight smile playing on his lips, "Now that the game has come to this point, I wonder if you're satisfied?"
