Chapter 681: Chapter 681: Chance Encounter

Yue Qingqing sized up the tall girl in front of her.

Silky long hair cascaded down her shoulders, her features deep and stunning–a true beauty.

If it hadn’t been for Yue Qingqing’s ability to recognize people by their voice, she never would have recognized her.

She tentatively called out, “Lu Zhu?”

Lu Zhu replied helplessly, “So, you can’t recognize me after just two days of moving out?”

Yue Qingqing took a couple of steps back, taking in Lu Zhu’s figure accentuated by the long dress.

“Who would recognize you dressed like that?”

Lu Zhu tugged uncomfortably at her dress, “Dressed like what?”

“Really womanly, you’ve matured a lot all of a sudden,” Yue Qingqing said curiously, “How did your hair get so long?”

“A wig. You have to have long hair and wear makeup for the ceremony jobs here.”

Yue Qingqing had never expected Lu Zhu to take up part-time work like this; no wonder she had been staring at the newspaper for so long before.

“You look really pretty like this,” Yue Qingqing teased, “If you were at school, you’d definitely receive a lot of love letters.”

Lu Zhu usually sported short hair and loose clothing, her silhouette almost androgynous from behind.

But now, donned in this outfit, she was a total knockout beauty with an elegant allure.

Yet Lu Zhu didn’t think much of it, “The main reason is that they pay well here.”

She seemed to lack the typical teenage desire to look pretty, driven entirely by the prospect of earning more money.

She then asked Yue Qingqing, “Did you really get in? I thought you were just joking with Qu Ruorui before.”

“What joke? I’m here looking for someone,” Yue Qingqing looked around, guessing where her second senior brother might appear.

Lu Zhu suggested, “The second floor is the VIP area, a lot of guests are resting up there.”

Yue Qingqing prepared to head upstairs when Lu Zhu lowered her voice.

“I’ll take you up, or else others might get suspicious.” She thought Yue Qingqing had sneaked in.

Yue Qingqing didn’t refuse Lu Zhu’s kind gesture, and the two of them ascended the hotel’s grand staircase.

“What’s the surname of the person you’re looking for?”

Lu Zhu looked at the nameplates on each room door, wanting to help Yue Qingqing find the person quickly.

To avoid Yue Qingqing being discovered and thrown out later.

“Zhou.”

Yue Qingqing had looked around as well, then suddenly slapped her forehead.

Why was she always so rigid in her thinking?

Before it was ancient thinking, now it was completely modern thinking.

Others might rely on their eyes to find someone, but she could use spiritual energy.

Just as Yue Qingqing was about to take action, Lu Zhu’s voice came through.

“Found him, is it Zhou Yiran?”

“Yes, yes, yes.”

Yue Qingqing hurried after her, her eyes brimming with tears as she looked at the three characters on the wall.

Senior brother, it’s been so hard to find you.

As she was about to knock, the door suddenly opened.

Yue Qingqing froze.

The girl who walked out was clearly displeased. Seeing Yue Qingqing, she too was taken aback.

“What are you doing here?”

Zhou Xitong found it aggravating that Yue Qingqing was like a bad penny, showing up again when she finally had a break.

Today, Zhou Xitong was dressed especially formally after meticulous preparation, clearly the invited young lady of the house.

By contrast, Yue Qingqing’s plain appearance made it clear she was–somehow who had managed to slip in.

Lu Zhu’s heart skipped a beat as she grabbed Yue Qingqing’s wrist.

“Let’s go.”

When she spoke, Zhou Xitong recognized her voice immediately and gritted her teeth, “Lu Zhu, it’s you two!”

Yue Qingqing marveled at the power of hatred; she hadn’t recognized Lu Zhu herself at first glance, yet Zhou Xitong had.

Just as Yue Qingqing was about to explain to Lu Zhu that she had been invited, she heard Zhou Xitong calling for security.

“Throw these two out! How exactly are the security arrangements for this auction? How can just anyone sneak in?”
