nSong Xing Xing parted with Huo Yun Chen after their meal.
nBecause of the man's identity, they chose to depart separately. Afraid that they might encounter anyone, Huo Yun Chen chose to leave the restaurant first.
nSong Xing Xing sat at the table as she waited for Huo Yun Chen to text him.
nOnce she received a text from him telling her that it would be safe for her to come out, Song Xing Xing finally left the restaurant. She looked at the time and took out her phone to book a ride.
nAs she walked into the lobby, Song Xing Xing caught the sight of someone very familiar. Her steps halted and Song Xing Xing stared at the man with a surprised look on her face.
nIt has been a month since the last time Song Xing Xing had seen Lu Xun.
nThe last time they talked, things did not end quite well between them. Song Xing Xing had wanted to avoid him and nurture her broken heart. At that time, she had even thought about quitting her job just so she won't run into Lu Xun anymore.
nFortunately, she had not seen him and later, Song Xing Xing forgot her idea to quit. Even though Lu Xun would visit the studio once in a while, the two of them had never run into each other.
nIt was good this way.
nAt least she would be able to calm down and perhaps forgot the feelings she had for him.
nHowever, now that she had seen Lu Xun again after a long time, her heart skipped a beat and she was unable to look away from him.
nSeeing that Lu Xun was scanning the lobby with his eyes, Song Xing Xing quickly hid behind a wall to avoid being seen. Fortunately, Lu Xun had not seen her. From her hiding place, Song Xing Xing continued to watch the man. Lu Xun met his business partners and took the elevator.
nOnce she could no longer see his figure, Song Xing Xing patted her chest and scolded her heart for being such a traitor.
nShe was supposed to forget him, but her heart had refused to cooperate. The moment she saw him, her heartbeat accelerated and her face turned red. Though she had not seen him for a long time, her heart was still beating for him.
nA heavy sigh escaped her.
nAfter waiting for a few seconds, Song Xing Xing finally came out from the place she was hiding. However, just as she was about to come out, her eyes caught the sight of another person.
nSong Xing Xing sucked in a deep breath. Her steps halted in surprise and she instinctively moved to hide again. Song Xing Xing peeked at the woman and narrowed her eyes.
nBai Zhi?
nWhy is she here?
nSong Xing Xing was planning to head out to the entrance once she could not see Bai Zhi again.
nAt this time, a hotel staff walked over towards Bai Zhi. The two of them exchanged a few words before Bai Zhi took the elevator and headed towards the same direction as Lu Xun.
nAn uneasy feeling arose in her heart.
nEven though she had vowed that she no longer wanted to care about what Bai Zhi wanted to do, Song Xing Xing had a feeling that she should not leave at this time.
nAfter weighing her decision for a while, Song Xing Xing decided to follow Bai Zhi and see was this girl planning to do. Fortunately, Song Xing Xing had visited this hotel a few times and had become familiar with its layout.
nSong Xing Xing stopped again when she finally caught up with Bai Zhi.
nHer eyes widened in surprise upon seeing that Bai Zhi and Lu Xun were together in front of the private room. The business partners who came with Lu Xun left upon seeing that Lu Xun and Bai Zhi seemed to know each other.
nSeeing that the others had left, Bai Zhi put on a bright smile on her face before she spoke to Lu Xun.
nSong Xing Xing did not know what the two of them were discussing about, but looking at Lu Xun's face, he seemed very furious. Now that she thought about it, the last time she had seen Lu Xun's angry face was the time when he had accused her of a stalker.
nShe retreated into her hiding place and continued to observe the situation. After saying a few words to Bai Zhi, Lu Xun turned around and entered the room, leaving Bai Zhi outside the room.
nJust… what happened between them?
nWhen did they know each other?
nSong Xing Xing had a lot of questions in her mind right now.
nJust now, Song Xing Xing had seen the look on Bai Zhi's face while she was talking to Lu Xun. She had been friends with Bai Zhi for a few years. She could tell that this time, Bai Zhi was targeting Lu Xun.
nWhen did Bai Zhi start to target Lu Xun?
nSong Xing Xing snapped out of her trance when she saw the sour look on Bai Zhi's face.
nAfter a while, a server walked over, pushing a tray of food.
nBai Zhi stopped the server and whispered a few words. The server had a reluctant look on his face. But after a while, he stretched his hand, took something from Bai Zhi's hand, and hid the stuff into his pocket.
nThe frown on her face deepened.
nSong Xing Xing did not know what did Bai Zhi had passed to the server, however, she knew that it could not be anything good.
nWhen did the staff in this hotel become this poor?
nPulling out his phone, Song Xing Xing went to a corner farther away and dialed a number.
nThe call went through after a few seconds.
n
"Xing Xing?
"
nSong Xing Xing clenched at her phone tightly and spoke,
"Sister-in-law. I remember that you are familiar with the President of Zhang Group, right?
"
n
"Mmm... You can say that,
" Han Yue Xiu answered.
"Why did you ask about this?
"
n
"Sister-in-law, I'm at The Orchid Hotel.. I need you to help me with something.
