She curled her lips.
Tang Xiaohua gave her a glance, only feeling it quite weird, "What are you thinking about? Showing such a strange smile..."
"Really?"
Lu Xiaoer quickly changed her expression and leaned mournfully on Tang Xiaohua’s shoulder,
"What if one day I end up holess—"
"Aren’t I still here for you? If they really don’t let you stay in the hostel, I’ll figure sothing out. I won’t be bribed by your old man with his money."
"No, if I end up on the streets, please don’t co help ."
"Why? Planning on using the tactic of suffering?"
"Not really, it’s just about seeing who has the colder heart!"
This kind of personality that was ready to break the net was quite frightening.
The moving company’s van was slightly faster than them, arriving at an international youth hostel nad Kazi, which had a big iron gate with a large courtyard inside and a house further inside; the reception and book bar were together.
The driver got out and unloaded everything, but he was still standing outside,
"Didn’t I tell you to use my na and move the stuff up first?"
Lu Xiaoer got out of the car and walked over, puzzled.
"Miss Lu, the front desk said there’s no reservation under your na."
"You’re kidding? I even called to confirm..."
After saying this, Lu Xiaoer hurriedly rushed in to the front desk and asked, "My na is Lu Xiaoer, I booked a room here, and I said I would stay for a month."
The front desk checked diligently,
"I’m sorry, Miss Lu, there really is no reservation under your na. May I ask which platform you used..."
Before the front desk could finish, Lu Xiaoer banged her fist on the desk, "Damn old man!"
"..."
The front desk looked at Lu Xiaoer with a baffled face.
"So... can I book a room now?"
"There are no vacant rooms available today."
Lu Xiaoer took a deep breath, "Then what’s the earliest day you have a room available?"
"One mont, let check."
The front desk continued to search for Lu Xiaoer, "There’s a room available in four days, would that..."
Lu Xiaoer turned her head to Tang Xiaohua, "Looks like I really have to sleep on the streets."
"That won’t happen, I’ll have Wen Nian find you a place. He definitely has a way, and your old man surely can’t ss with him, right?"
Tang Xiaohua patted her shoulder.
Lu Xiaoer walked out dejectedly.
The front desk sat there stunned, the woman who just spoke... Wen Nian?
It couldn’t be Mr. President, right?
Yeah, it probably isn’t. Soone close to Mr. President wouldn’t likely co to a youth hostel.
...
"Miss Lu, these things...?"
"Just wait a mont, I’ll give you a new address."
Lu Xiaoer sat on the nearby steps, noticeably burdened by a dark cloud over her head, leaving her only with dejection.
Tang Xiaohua spoke to the driver, then called Wen Nian who was unreachable. She then called Qu Yu, who did pick up and ntioned that Wen Nian was hosting a foreign guest and might be unavailable now. From Qu Yu’s tone, it was clear he was also busy.
"Okay, I understand."
"Let’s go stay at a hotel, using my na to book a room shouldn’t be a problem."
"Staying in a hotel is expensive..."
Lu Xiaoer covered her face, "Now I’m only left with a credit card I can use, and it’s Zhongli Wuzhi’s. The scholarship from the school won’t be available until next month."
Tang Xiaohua slapped her on the head,
"You’re even using Zhongli Wuzhi’s credit card, how can you not let book a room for you?"
"..."
Lu Xiaoer lifted her head, pouting at her... After a long while, she smiled, "Sure, it must work! Xiao Li, I’ll repay you one day!"
She perked up again.
Tang Xiaohua also laughed, that silly girl, who needed her to repay anything... It was she who should be repaying her... for her unwavering and constant trust.
"Well, let’s go to this place, it’s very close."
Tang Xiaohua told the driver.
However, just at that mont, the buzzing sound of a sports car, getting louder from afar, stopped within a few seconds right in the courtyard of the youth hostel.
Upon hearing the sports car, everyone in the house opened the windows and looked outside.
Tang Xiaohua stared at the ostentatious green Ferrari in front of her, then at Zhongli Wuzhi who got out, dressed in a T-shirt and jeans. He took off his sunglasses and strode over,
"Tsk tsk..."
Without looking at Lu Xiaoer, he first saw Tang Xiaohua and flashed a aningful smile, "Isn’t this the personal bodyguard of His Excellency?"
"..."
Tang Xiaohua was stunned and turned her face away.
Zhongli Wuzhi chuckled, stopped teasing her, and instead took the backpack from Lu Xiaoer’s hands,
"I went to your house, and it was empty, gave quite a scare."
"...How did you find this place?"
"When I went there, I just saw the moving company’s truck leaving, thought it must be you, so I checked the moving company’s phone number, asked around a bit, and found out."
"..."
Lu Xiaoer looked at Zhongli Wuzhi.
"Got tricked by Uncle Lu again?"
"...Yeah."
"Co stay at my place."
"..."
Lu Xiaoer just kept looking at him.
"Don’t worry, my house is so big, so many empty rooms, I can easily spare one for you, totally a small case."
"I don’t want to."
Lu Xiaoer decisively refused, "I’m planning to stay at a hotel, Xiao Li will figure out a way for ."
"Xiao Li... will figure out a way for you?"
Zhongli Wuzhi looked at Tang Xiaohua, "Guard Tang can’t even handle her own issues, she probably wouldn’t ddle in soone else’s business, right?"
"What do you an?"
"I guess it’s not Guard Tang figuring it out for you, but Guard Tang asking His Excellency to figure it out for you..."
"..."
Alright, he hit the nail on the head.
Zhongli Wuzhi gave the driver a new address, "Go to this place."
"..."
The driver looked at the address, then at the two girls beside him.
Lu Xiaoer pursed her lips, seeming a bit hesitant.
If she stayed at Zhongli Wuzhi’s place, perhaps the old man couldn’t do anything to her, right?
Tang Xiaohua almost imdiately saw the indecision in Lu Xiaoer’s heart and laughed, "I trust Young Master Zhongli... Although his car is quite flashy, he’s still a gentleman."
Zhongli Wuzhi glanced at the green sports car and smiled,
"This isn’t my car, it’s Wen Nian’s."
Tang Xiaohua’s expression froze, then she firmly said, "Impossible."
The current image of Wen Nian in her mind was so grand and tall, she wouldn’t let Zhongli Wuzhi’s re words collapse Wen Nian’s character!
"You can go ho and ask your Wen Nian."
"..."
Tang Xiaohua’s face turned deep red, clearly, Zhongli Wuzhi and Wen Nian’s relationship was closer than she had thought.
Strange, how did she not know that Wen Nian and Zhongli Wuzhi were so close?
It was as if he knew everything about Wen Nian.
"Xiaoer, let’s go."
