Chapter 4 I want to see you in half an hour.
After Fu Qiyu left, Momo went inside and lay down to rest.
She had already gotten up early and hadn't had a good rest, and after being tormented by someone just now, she was exhausted both physically and mentally, and all she wanted to do was lie down and not move.
Soon, drowsiness came over her.
She had only been asleep for less than half an hour when she was startled awake by a series of urgent knocks on the door, which made her sit up abruptly in bed.
Such urgent knocking—the visitor must be up to no good; it certainly wasn't the person Qi Qi had called to call her.
The wedding guests today are a mixed bunch. My room has a nice view, but it's quite secluded. Who knows, maybe another scumbag like Fu Yungui will show up outside my door.
Therefore, she dared not open the door easily.
It was already dark outside, and the lights were off inside. Momo tiptoed out of bed and walked barefoot cautiously toward the door, wanting to peek through it and listen to what was happening outside.
It seemed as if the people outside knew what she was thinking. She pressed herself against the door for a while, but she didn't hear a sound.
This made her even more suspicious that someone was playing a prank.
She was about to leave to peek through the window to see if it was a person or a ghost when she suddenly heard a loud knocking on the door.
Terrified, she broke out in a cold sweat, frozen in place, not daring to take another step. She forced herself to ask, "Who is it?"
The person outside the door was speaking Thai. It was a woman's voice, and she spoke very quickly. Momo could only understand half of what she was saying, but after she finished speaking, she introduced herself as a servant of the manor.
Momo took a deep breath; it turned out she had been overthinking things. People can be truly frightening.
She was truly terrified of Fu Yungui; now she overthinks everything she does.
But her knocking was really scary.
She walked over and opened the door. Sure enough, it was the auntie dressed as a maid. Her skin was dark and loose. When she saw her come out, she immediately put her hands together and placed them on the tip of her nose to greet her.
Momo clasped her hands together in response, then asked her in Thai, "Is there something you need?"
Momo saw her nod, then take a piece of paper out of her pocket and hand it to her, saying, "Someone asked me to give this to you." After saying that, she left.
Momo held the note tightly, knowing in her heart who probably sent it.
If Qi Qi were looking for her, she would definitely call. Besides Qi Qi, she doesn't know anyone else around here.
So there was only one person, the ever-present and haunting Fu Yungui.
Thinking this, she unfolded the note to see what was written on it.
I want to see you at store 808 on the pedestrian street in half an hour.
808 is a bar at the end of Walking Street in Pattaya.
The arrogant and unrestrained handwriting made Momo feel as if she could see that arrogant person standing right in front of her.
Even now, thinking about how he scared me, I still feel a little scared.
She crumpled the note in her hand, took out her phone to check the address, and found that it would take forty minutes by taxi to get there. Even if she set off now, it would be impossible to get there in half an hour.
This is clearly making things difficult for yourself.
Speaking of that place, I've heard Qiqi mention it a few times before. It's the best spot to watch ladyboy shows. The whole street is brightly lit and bustling, but because of that, it's also very chaotic.
She dared not go; if something happened, she might not even have a chance to call for help.
But if he didn't go, how could Fu Yungui let him off the hook?
What if he just drags himself into some dark place and takes care of it?
Momo was already feeling extremely conflicted, and this thought only made her more depressed. Especially when she imagined herself lying dead in a foreign land, neglected and forgotten, her beautiful eyebrows immediately furrowed.
At that moment, a phone call from Fu Qiyu made her decisively stop struggling. Qiyu called and told her that she could come over. She had prepared a dress for tonight and asked her to come over and see if it fit.
Momo readily agreed on the phone, saying she would be there right away. After hanging up, she immediately tore the note in her hand into pieces and threw it into the nearby trash can. Then she went to the bathroom to wash her face to clear her head before leaving the house.
Night fell as promised in Palm Bay Garden. The silvery moonlight hung above the banana trees, and the air was no longer as unbearable as during the day, but rather a little cool.
The Western-style ball was held on the west side of the manor, which was originally a venue for large family gatherings.
The servants had already arranged all the bouquets during the day. After nightfall, under the lights, the entire venue was surrounded by bouquets from a distance, resembling a fairyland.
The dance will be attended by the elders and close relatives of both families, as well as business partners from both families, and the rest will be the groom's and bride's friends.
The bride, dressed in a white French-style gown, made her entrance first, with Momo following obediently beside her, greeting the elders from both sides along with Qiqi.
“Grandpa, this is my Chinese friend Momo, who came all the way from afar. She took very good care of me there.” Fu Qiyu introduced Momo to her grandfather Piwong in Thai.
Upon hearing her name, Momo immediately clasped her hands together in front of her forehead and joined Qiqi in calling out "Grandpa!"
"Oh, the little girl looks even younger than you." Looking at the pretty girl in front of him, Pi Weng was reminded of a long-lost figure, so he smiled kindly at Momo and then put his hands together in front of his chest in return.
"Qiqi and I are the same age." They both have birthdays in the second half of the year, so they are not yet 22 years old, except that Qiqi is three months older than her.
“No wonder it looks so small,” Pion said again.
Qiqi is still young, but Thais generally marry early, especially those from wealthy families. They usually have an engagement early on and get married as soon as they reach the legal age.
"I've been working so hard these past few days preparing for my precious granddaughter's wedding. Since you've come all this way, you should definitely stay a few more days," Pi Weng smiled, his wrinkles deepening.
Momo smiled and nodded, but she knew in her heart that if she hadn't met Fu Yungui during the day, she would have stayed here for a few more days, since she didn't have anything else to do lately.
Now, she wished she could leave tomorrow, but Qi Qi had already made plans to take her sightseeing, so she could only stay here for two more days.
After looking around, Pion asked the old steward Shanla, "Where is Pason? He's nowhere to be seen today. He's utterly disrespectful."
Momo saw the uncle next to Pi Weng bow slightly, "Young Master Pason has been here for a long time."
"Oh?" Pion was slightly surprised to hear this. "This rascal actually has some sense of propriety today, knowing to arrive early for an important occasion."
"And where are they now?" Pi Weng asked again.
Shanla pointed to the tree not far away, "I just saw them sitting there drinking." Now there's not a soul in sight.
"Never mind him for now. General Buddy will be coming tonight. You'll be in charge of receiving him and taking him directly to my tea room," Pion said.
