"No need, thank you."
Zhu Jiayin watched as the phone was hung up. She hurriedly put on her clothes, grabbed her bag, and rushed out of the hotel, saying that something had happened at home.
Yang Jianjie wanted to persuade her to stay and asked if she needed his help, but she seemed the same as before, not wanting anyone to know about their relationship. He gave a wry smile.
At the Blue Sky Hotel, Gu Siye sat in his car, smoking a cigarette. Suddenly, he began to doubt whether his actions had been too impulsive. He didn't know why he had come here, or under what pretext.
He had never held an engagement ceremony with her; it was all because of that jade pendant. Not to mention Li Zhiyi, even he found it absurd.
At that moment, however, he recalled the heartfelt words his grandfather had just spoken to him.
Gu Siye got out of the car, stood beside it, took out his phone and called Li Zhiyi, but the call was out of service.
"Brother, you arrived so quickly! Why can't I get through to my sister on the phone?" Zhu Jiayin had tried calling Li Zhiyi several times while in the taxi, but couldn't get through.
Gu Siyue looked at the girl who rushed over and wondered if something had happened to her. Otherwise, why couldn't he get through on the phone? But apart from the phone, he really didn't know any other way to contact her. Only then did he realize how little he knew about her.
"Brother, what's wrong? Why aren't you saying anything? I can't get through to sister on the phone, could something have happened? Should I go to the hotel to look for her?"
"Yes, I'll go with you."
The two walked together to the front desk of the Blue Sky Hotel. The receptionist's eyes lit up when she saw Gu Siye, and she subconsciously tucked her hair behind her ear. "Sir, are you checking in?"
"No, I've come to find my fiancée."
Upon hearing this, the receptionist's heart sank. He already had a fiancée! Did that mean she had no chance?
Zhu Jiayin's eyes widened in disbelief; she couldn't believe these words were coming from his mouth. Wasn't she her brother's sister? How could this be...?
"Brother, isn't sister your younger sister?"
"Who told you she's my sister? Did she say so?" Gu Siye couldn't believe that this girl had mistaken him for her brother. Haha, is this how she introduces herself to outsiders?
Zhu Jiayin knew she was in the wrong; she hadn't understood the truth of the matter. Then she thought, why was he so anxious to find her? Was he jealous? Ha! She knew she'd made a mistake; it was because that Miss Li wasn't a good person either, and she was getting too close to Officer Jiang.
"Her name is Li Zhiyi. Could you check if there is such a person?" Gu Siye said to the receptionist. He was a little worried about her safety, since the man's identity and character were still unknown.
Zhu Jiayin chimed in, "Brother, it's very likely that my sister came with a man."
The receptionist was shocked to hear this! It seemed like they were here to catch their husbands cheating. Having worked at the hotel for so many years, she had seen far too many similar cases.
Let alone a fiancée, even a wife who is legally married, or the mother of one's children, can cheat on her and date other men. Of course, the same goes for men. Even if a man has a wife and children, or his wife is pregnant, giving birth in the hospital, or recovering at home after childbirth, he might still cheat on her.
Some have a regular lover; these are what people call mistresses.
Some are not regular lovers; those who frequently change partners are what we call one-night stands or casual hookups.
Another type involves paying money to hire them, changing several a day, or even several at once. As long as you have money, you can do whatever you want.
So the receptionist started considering many possibilities. What if his fiancée really had arranged to meet a man? Then their engagement would definitely be off. Would she then have a chance to get to know this outstanding gentleman?
Don't blame her for thinking that way; she's been working here for so long that quite a few men have wanted to ask her out, but she's rejected them all because she hasn't met anyone she likes.
"Okay, sir, please wait a moment while I check if this person exists."
The receptionist entered the name Li Zhiyi into the computer and left a phone number, but no identification information, because this is not a big hotel and you can stay without an ID card.
"Sir, there is a name named Li Zhiyi here, but there is no identification information, and the phone number is..."
Upon hearing this, Gu Siye realized it was her phone number.
"Hmm, which room is she in?"
"609".
Gu Siye and Zhu Jiayin took the elevator directly to room 609 on the sixth floor. After knocking on the door a few times without any answer, Gu Siye took out his phone and dialed Li Zhiyi's number, but the call was still out of service.
"Brother, sister really isn't at the hotel. She's probably on a date and hasn't come back yet."
Gu Siyue was very dissatisfied with Zhu Jiayin's words, but he silently went downstairs. Zhu Jiayin wanted to ride in Gu Siyue's car to find Li Zhiyi, but Gu Siyue simply closed the car door because he really hated people who talked badly about others behind their backs.
The situation is still unclear. She's said it several times now: this girl is not simple, she's not a naive girl.
Zhu Jiayin, unwilling to give up, pounded on the car door: "Brother, let me get in the car, let's go find my sister together."
"Need not!"
Gu Siye didn't want to have any further contact with her, so he directly blocked her phone number.
Zhu Jiayin watched the departing car, stomping her feet in anger. She had always been proud and was considered the most beautiful girl in her department. Wherever she went, she was the focus of men's attention. Her classmates all liked her and would get food for her. She had never been treated like this before!
It's all Li Zhiyi's fault! If it weren't for her, how could she not win the heart of the man before her? Zhu Jiayin hated Li Zhiyi to the core!
Gu Siye drove aimlessly through the streets, not knowing where to look for her. All he wanted to ask her now was one question: did she have any feelings for him?
He didn't want to deceive himself anymore; he just wanted to look back on this moment someday in the future without any regrets.
Grandpa is right. Life is only a few decades long, and some things, once lost, are gone forever.
Li Zhiyi and Jiang Yu had an accident on the way. Their car overturned into a ditch while they were driving normally, and both of them are now in the hospital.
Li Zhi looked up at the ceiling. She knew this was not an accident at all; it was her own fault for being too careless.
