Chapter 611: Make a Friend
Bai Lan solemnly warned:
"Although Longhua Hot Springs isn't her territory, we can't let our guard down. Before you go to your appointment, I'll try to plant some personnel in and around the hot spring villa. If you encounter any emergency while you're there, send a distress signal immediately."
-
The day of departure.
As agreed, Su Man went directly to Longhua Hot Spring Villa.
As soon as she arrived at the tourist lobby, a doorman came up and asked Su Man if she was Miss Su.
Su Man's every move seemed to be under Qionghua's control.
"yes."
"Please follow me."
The doorman took Suman to the VIP area.
Arriving in front of an elegant and comfortable building, the doorman stopped outside the door and said, "I'll take you here. Your friend is waiting for you inside."
Su Man was a little nervous, but as the saying goes, "No pain, no gain." She plucked up her courage and walked through the door.
There was the sound of running water in the front hall, accompanied by soft classical piano music and calming and refreshing fragrance, which soothed Suman's nerves.
In a small private room, Yu Qionghua was leaning on the sofa, reading a magazine.
Suman knocked on the door.
"Hello, Miss Yu."
"You're here, come in and sit down!" Yu Qionghua put away the magazine, sat on the sofa, and looked at Su Man as if she were an old friend. "Let's eat first to digest the food, and then go to the hot springs. What do you think of this arrangement?"
Her attitude is friendly and natural, without the need for excessive small talk. It reflects the confidence and pride of a superior.
But Suman could feel that this was a disguised enthusiasm.
In social situations, people who have been flattering others for a long time tend to display a false state. Over time, they themselves cannot distinguish what is real and what is fake.
This is a sad state of exhaustion.
"The guest should follow the host's wishes." Su Man nodded with a smile.
When confronting a female boss like Yu Qionghua, the most important thing is sincerity, and you can't be led by the rhythm.
So Su Man planned to gain some ground first: "Actually, I came to this appointment to apologize to you. Before, I was in a trance and mistook your boyfriend for my deceased ex-husband. I want to say sorry for the trouble it caused you."
"I've also heard a little about Miss Su's lover. It's fate that you mistook Ah Yan for your former lover. Let's be friends then." Yu Qionghua smiled politely.
"It's my honor to be your friend."
She pretended, and Suman pretended too.
Who doesn’t know how to act?
Yu Qionghua took out her cell phone and made a call: "Ayan, come over quickly. Miss Su has arrived and is ready to eat. Don't keep the guests waiting too long."
Xie Yan responded.
Xiao Beisheng's voice came from the other end of the phone.
Although Su Man had prepared herself mentally before coming, her heart still suddenly paused at this moment.
I didn’t expect Xie Yan to come today.
After hanging up the phone, Yu Qionghua said to Su Man, "I'll ask Xie Yan to come over. Do you mind?"
"Won't."
"That's good. He's mine. If you make friends with me, you'll inevitably have to deal with him in the future. Now that we're meeting, we're all friends. Let's not wait for him. Let the kitchen serve the food first."
Su Man nodded obediently.
Xie Yan arrived just as the food was served.
Wearing a dark brown jacket and a black turtleneck sweater, he exudes a sense of winter.
As soon as Xie Yan entered the room, he went straight to the seat next to Yu Qionghua without even looking at Su Man.
After chatting with Yu Qionghua for a few words, he looked up and greeted Su Man briefly.
When the two met, they were even more unfamiliar with each other than that day in the nightclub. They both understood each other tacitly and pretended that the kiss in the corner didn't exist.
Su Man found the whole meal extremely painful.
Xie Yan picked up some food for Yu Qionghua and whispered to her from time to time. The whole time, he couldn't see anyone else in his eyes except Yu Qionghua.
Su Man not only had to pretend not to care about Xie Yan.
She also had to endure Xie Yan and Yu Qionghua showing affection, pretending to be calm and chatting and laughing with Yu Qionghua.
I finally managed to get through a meal.
The three of them prepared to go to the hot springs.
Su Man and Yu Qionghua went to the women's locker room to change clothes, while Xie Yan went to the men's locker room alone.
Yu Qionghua's own swimsuit is sexy and hot.
Suman is much more conservative.
That day in the nightclub, from Yu Qionghua's attitude towards the young girl, it can be seen that Yu Qionghua actually cares a lot about age.
Su Man didn't dare to expose herself too much in front of Yu Qionghua.
So she chose a one-piece swimsuit that showed less skin.
What's more, Xie Yan is here.
In any case, before confirming that Xie Yan was Xiao Beisheng, Su Man treated him as an outsider.
When we arrived at the hot spring pool, there was no sign of Xie Yan.
Yu Qionghua explained that Xie Yan did not disturb the two ladies from taking a hot spring bath, and went to the sauna room alone to take a sauna.
Su Man thought: He is quite good at avoiding suspicion.
Throughout the whole process, Su Man was a little nervous and was always ready to ask for help from Bai Lan who was guarding outside the hot spring villa.
She was worried that Yu Qionghua's friendliness towards her was all an illusion.
Maybe at some point when Su Man is not paying attention, he will suddenly attack Su Man.
For example, pressing Su Man to the bottom of the hot spring pool and drowning her.
But Suman was worrying too much.
Nothing that Suman was worried about happened during the whole process.
Yu Qionghua, intentionally or unintentionally, tried to find out a lot about Su Man.
For example, Su Man's previous relationship with Xiao Beisheng,
For example, Suman’s career and family background.
Su Man also tried to ask Yu Qionghua in return, but Yu Qionghua was very tight-lipped and did not reveal much about her privacy.
I only told Su Man about the education I received and my growth experience since childhood in the Yu family.
Su Man was not in a hurry either.
It is normal for people like Yu Qionghua to be defensive.
Su Man is confident that she can gain Yu Qionghua's trust little by little.
"If you soak in this hot spring for too long, you'll get dizzy easily. Why don't we go find Ah Yan? He's using scalded pebbles to pave the ground. It's said that the pebbles are rich in minerals and, after heating, have health-promoting properties."
Yu Qionghua suggested.
Suman naturally obeyed.
When they arrived at the place, the three of them had just rested for a while when Yu Qionghua's phone rang. It must be about business.
"Sorry, I have to go out and answer a phone call first." Yu Qionghua said to Su Man,
Turning around, he instructed Xie Yan: "Take good care of Miss Su for me."
Xie Yan lay on the stone platform, covering his eyes with a cloth, not moving at all, only making a lazy "hmm" sound through his nose.
Yu Qionghua left.
Su Man and Xie Yan stayed in the cobblestone sauna room, each in a corner, far away from each other, and without any communication.
Five minutes passed, but Yu Qionghua still hadn't returned.
Su Man wanted to go out to look for Yu Qionghua, but when she opened the door, she found that it could not be opened.
——The door was locked from the outside!
Su Man immediately looked at Xie Yan, "Mr. Xie, the door seems to be locked."
Xie Yan, who seemed to be asleep just now, now reacted.
He removed the cloth covering his eyes, stood up, walked to the door and tried to open it.
The result was the same as Su Man's previous attempt, the door was locked.
