Chapter 149 - Shifting Pillars
"Miss Lowe, what are you saying? Don’t worry, in less than an hour, I will help you find the information you need." When the President Wang heard that she wanted someone else to investigate, he immediately changed his tone and promised.
After hanging up the phone, Luo Qing Yun immediately changed her clothes, packed his luggage, and walked out with his luggage.
Arriving at the main hall, she checked out of the hotel, got on a taxi and headed towards Manchee Hotel.
The Manchee Hotel was the most luxurious restaurant in Y City, a five star hotel. It was said that in the initial stages of construction, they were prepared to declare to be six stars, but for some unknown reason, they were only evaluated as five stars. Even so, it was still the best hotel in Y City, with no other six stars.
As a hotel tycoon, the Howe Tin Group had always been eyeing the Manchee Hotel covetously. Su Chen Hao had thought of purchasing the Manchee Hotel, but later on, the Hautet adjusted his strategy and expanded the hotel market overseas, so these past few years they had been investing overseas and did not set their sights on this city.
Because the Manchee Hotel didn’t have any relationship with the Hautet, Luo Qing Yun wasn’t too worried when she came here. At least, here, she didn’t need to worry about anyone recognizing her.
After Manchee Hotel booked a room on the same floor as the presidential suite, she was led by a bellman to the elevator and went upstairs.
When she reached her room, President Wang called her again and told her the detailed information about the model and the method to contact her. Luo Qing Yun wrote it down using her pen and hung up.
In the next moment, she started to think carefully about what kind of excuse she should use to convince the model to give up on tonight’s date with Su Chen Hao.
As long as she could persuade the model to not come to Manchee Hotel, she would have the chance to complete the ’transaction’ for her. She had even thought about it, that when Su Chen Hao entered her room, she would first wait for him on the bed, turn off the lights in the room, and then ...
This plan was flawless in her mind. She thought that as long as she successfully rolled up the bed with him, she would be able to escape like last time and would never appear in front of him again.
As long as she thought about how he would be saved and live a happy life like an ordinary child, she would feel her fighting spirit rise.
Even after she compiled a few reasons in her mind, she still could not come up with a better method.
For a model to be able to sell her body meant that she needed money, or perhaps it could be said that she loved money. The general reason was definitely that he couldn’t convince a person who didn’t even want his dignity to sell his body.
Furthermore, the model’s name was unfamiliar to her. Furthermore, when President Wang talked about her, he did not use any exaggerated words or any special adjectives, which meant that the model was not as popular as she was now.
If Luo Qing Yun threatened her while pretending to be a reporter from a paparazzi, not only would she not be afraid, she might even use Su Chen Hao’s identity to stir up trouble. It seemed like she could only use her final move.
Since she was willing to sell her body for money, then she must also be able to give up on selling herself for money.
Thinking of this, she did not waste any time. She immediately took out her cell phone and dialed the model’s number.
The phone rang. It was a man.
"Who is it?" The voice was not friendly.
Hearing this voice, Luo Qing Yun’s heart quivered, and thought, could it be that this was the model’s manager? Thinking about that, she immediately asked: "Hello, I’m looking for Man Di, may I ask if she is here?"
"She’s taking a bath. Who are you?" When the other party heard Luo Qing Yun’s voice, the unfriendly tone from before was slightly suppressed, and they became a little more courteous.
"Then you are her ..." Luo Qing Yun felt the other party’s tone soften, and so she tried asking.
"I’m her boyfriend. What can I do for you? Who are you? " The man seemed to be extremely curious about Luo Qing Yun’s identity and continued to ask.
When Luo Qing Yun heard about her identity, her eyes immediately lit up. She originally planned to pay twice the original price to bribe Man Di, but she suddenly stopped, cleared her throat and said: "Really? Man Di has a boyfriend? Why didn’t I hear her mention it? I always thought that she was single. Before, she often asked me to introduce his to rich men. It seems like she was just teasing me. She had planned to introduce a young master to her tonight, but it seems like she won’t be going to meet him. Then, help me inform her that the agreement with Mr. Su was cancelled, and ask her not to come anymore. "Goodbye."
Without waiting for her response, she hung up.
She initially thought that everything was over, so she started to prepare for tonight’s events. However, not long after she put down the phone, it started to ring happily again.
She took the phone. The number looked familiar, but she couldn’t remember where she had seen it before.
"Hello." After greeting the other party, she immediately heard his voice, "I am Man Di, who are you? Did you just call me to not go to Manchee Hotel tonight? "
Hearing that, Luo Qing Yun’s heart dropped. Could it be that her scheme had been seen through?
Considering the situation, she could only bite the bullet and say: "Yes, I am the secretary of the judge of the Suqian, because the man who just picked up is your boyfriend, in order to not let your boyfriend misunderstand anything, I asked you not to go tonight, in fact it’s because our CEO had another date tonight, but you can continue to have the payment you promised me. CEO does not want you to know that you two aren’t together tonight, do you understand?"
"So that’s how it is. Alright, I know what to do. Tell your Suqian that I will keep his secret." When Man Di heard that the reward could be continued, his originally excited tone eased up, and in the end, he agreed to keep it a secret. Then, he hung up the phone.
To be able to do it like that, Luo Qing Yun was already prepared for everything, and would only wait for night.
At 5 PM, Su Chen Hao walked out of the office building. The driver had already parked his car at the entrance waiting for him.
Seeing Su Chen Hao coming out, the driver immediately got off, went around to the back of the car and opened the door for him, respectfully inviting him in.
After getting on the car, he instructed the driver to head straight for Manchee Hotel.
Inside the hotel, Luo Qing Yun was lying in her bedroom. She had already turned off all the lights in her bedroom, and the ground windows that were illuminated by the neon lights made her room dark.
She silently counted the time in her heart, anxious and apprehensive.
Time passed minute after minute. When the agreed 8 o’clock arrived, she did not hear the sound of the door opening.
Is he not coming? Could all the rumors be false?
Her heart began to become restless. If all of this was fake, then wouldn’t all of her efforts have been in vain?
What should he do? Was she going to wait?
In fact, deep down in her heart, she was hoping that he wouldn’t come. Since he didn’t come, it meant that those gossip magazines were just playing catch. He wasn’t the rumored playboy, he was still the Su Chen Hao from before.
Previously, he had had no choice but to go against his own wishes and marry Huo Xi Wen, but now, these women that were gifted to him, he could totally reject them.
However, if he didn’t come, how could she save him?
If he did not appear in half an hour, she would not wait tonight and would think of another way tomorrow. Luo Qing Yun thought silently and then began to count the time.
She had never felt the slow passage of time as she did now. In the past four years, she had felt the passage of time catch her by surprise, and now she could almost hear the sound of every passing second, like an old donkey pulling a millstone, crushing her heart bit by bit.
A long time passed, but she still did not see him.
It seemed like he wouldn’t come today, she thought as she let out a long breath. She lifted the blanket and got up to get out of bed.
However, just as she put on her skirt and was about to leave, she suddenly heard the sound of atrial card being brushed at the door.
Frightened by the sound, she immediately turned off the lights in the room that had just been turned on. Then, she pulled back the blanket and jumped into it.
When Su Chen Hao arrived at the presidential suite, he saw that the hall was empty. On the table, there was a bottle of old wine and two wine cups. The wine cup was clean and clear, as if someone had used it before. The door to the bedroom next to it was shut tight.
Assistant Sun said that Huo Xi Wen had prepared a bottle of good wine for him.
Thinking about that, Su Chen Hao suddenly revealed a faint, mocking smile, as though he was ridiculing himself for thinking wrong about Assistant Sun.
The red wine had already been opened and was still awake. He picked up the wine cup and poured himself a small half cup to taste. Because he arrived forty minutes later than scheduled, the red wine had awoken a little too soon.
After tasting a small mouthful, he placed the wine cup down with some regret. He did not intend to continue drinking this wine that was no longer the best to taste.
In the room, Luo Qing Yun was so nervous that she did not even dare to breathe loudly. Her hands were tightly clenched in front of her chest.
After Su Chen Hao put down the wine cup, he looked around the hall, and at the end, his gaze landed on the bedroom’s door that was tightly shut.
His rational mind told him that there was nothing left to stop him. But in his mind there was another voice reminding him to go into the room and see.
Finally, his rational mind was destroyed by another voice in his head. He lifted his foot and walked towards the bedroom door.
