Huo Hui's incident did not bring any negative impact to the resort. On the contrary, the timely reporting of the crime to the police made the guests feel at ease, and also established a good reputation for the resort.
This weekend passed in chaos, but Gu Rui and Chen Ting were already addicted to the opera after listening to it for two days in a row, and they couldn't help humming a few lines in the company.
I looked at Gu Rui, who was so happy as he handed me the documents, and couldn't help but tease him, "You look so happy! It seems like your date with Chen Ting has been going well these past few days!"
Gu Rui chuckled, unable to hide the joy on his face.
"Be nice, don't let Chen Ting be sad for you." I knew Chen Ting's past, so I couldn't help but nag her a few more times.
Before I finished speaking and Gu Rui responded, the landline on my desk suddenly rang loudly.
I answered the phone and it was the front desk clerk calling, their voice sounded anxious and uneasy.
"Mr. Lan, someone claiming to be Mrs. Lu wanted to see you, but was stopped by Captain Fang of the security team."
I reacted for a moment. It was Zhao Xian? What did she want to see me for?
Although I was confused and couldn't figure out what she wanted to talk to me about, I still told the front desk to let her come up.
Fang Guoxu knew the relationship between Zhao Xian and me, so he stopped Zhao Xian from coming up, fearing that she would do something to hurt me.
Lu Jing's death had already made Zhao Xian depressed, and now she was stopped by Fang Guoxu. I believe she must be dissatisfied with me at this time.
I asked Gu Rui to go back to work, and I stayed in the office alone, waiting for Zhao Xian to arrive.
Soon, the secretary knocked on my office door and reported to me: "Director Lan, Mrs. Lu is here."
"Let her in."
The office door was pushed open and the secretary invited Zhao Xian in.
I knew that Lu Jing’s death had dealt a heavy blow to Zhao Xian, and I didn’t want to provoke her, so I stood up and asked her to sit on the sofa.
"Mrs. Lu, come and sit here."
What surprised me was that Zhao Xian didn't look unhappy at all at this moment. She walked slowly to the sofa and sat down.
I asked politely, "What would Mrs. Lu like to drink? Tea or coffee?"
I was about to tell my secretary, but Zhao Xian stopped me: "No need."
She suddenly looked at me seriously and said, "I came to see you. I want to tell you something alone."
I waved to the secretary, and the secretary retreated and closed the office door.
Unlike her previous arrogance and domineering demeanor, the Zhao Xian in front of me now seemed like a different person, with drooping eyebrows and a worried look on her face.
"Lan Shan, I'm sure you've seen all those rumors online, right? They say Lu Zhiyuan and Yan Meng are half-brothers, or something like that."
I was slightly stunned. It seemed that Zhao Xian had seen everything, but she didn't make a fuss, which surprised me.
I tried to persuade him, "Those people who spread rumors online are irresponsible and full of nonsense. Don't take it to heart."
Zhao Xian shook her head and sighed helplessly: "Actually, seeing these rumors really makes me angry. But Lu Jing and I have been married for so many years. I know him and I trust him. He would never cheat on me."
Contrary to my guess, although Zhao Xian always bullies Lu Jing, she still believes in Lu Jing and protects him at critical moments.
"He's already passed away, and the deceased should rest in peace. I don't want him to be humiliated by those rumors! I don't want to see Zhiyuan embarrassed by these rumors!"
Zhao Xian was a little emotional, and she looked at me pleadingly and firmly, "Lan Shan, can you help me?"
