Quan Meng looked at Quan Yi’s expression and found it funny. Liang Ye definitely wouldn’t dare to offend Quan Meng now. However, this future lady boss was thoroughly embarrassed. Quan Meng really enjoyed seeing Quan Yi suffer humiliation.

“Is that so? But earlier someone said I was a fraud!” Quan Meng’s eyes looked straight at Gao Si, who was hiding behind Quan Yi.

Gao Si knew Quan Meng was talking about her, but she wasn’t afraid of Quan Meng. She was afraid of Yu Yan, who was standing behind Quan Meng. She had witnessed Yu Yan’s might during the incident at the restaurant the last time.

She didn’t expect to bump into Yu Yan again here. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have dared to provoke Quan Meng.

“Sister-in-law, who’s slandering you?” Yu Yan knew who said it but he still played along with Quan Meng. After all, he rarely got the chance to see such interesting scenes.

Gao Si tried her best to hide behind Quan Yi, and talk back at Quan Meng from time to time. She was hoping that Quan Yi could find a way to help her. However, Quan Yi didn’t dare to offend Yu Yan either, so she could only change the topic to Quan Meng.

“When did Younger Sis get acquainted with Young Master Yu? How come I am not aware?”

“I was also the last one to find out that you and my fiance were together.” However, Quan Meng did not fall for Quan Yi’s trick. She kept her eyes on Gao Si. “If you really call the police, I’ll sue you for slander. Though you didn’t cause me any loss, you did waste my time. I don’t think it’s too much to ask for some compensation for emotional distress.”

Emotional distress! What emotional distress did Quan Meng undergo? Gao Si was the one who had always been subjected to fear and anxiety! Gao Si wanted to argue back, but when she saw Yu Yan standing nearby, she could only nod mutely. What a way to shoot herself in the foot!

“Remember to transfer it to my card later!” Quan Meng waved her hand and looked at the lady at the front desk. “Can you help me check in now?”

The front desk staff was about to say something when Yu Yan interrupted her. Earlier, Huo Ling had already sent him a text message to tell him that he had arrived. If Quan Meng checked into the hotel, Huo Ling would blame him again.

“Sister-in-law, you still dare to stay in this hotel? Aren’t you afraid that they’ll put needles in your pillow, boil socks in your kettle, or put cameras in your room?” Yu Yan was getting more and more excited as he spoke. He completely ignored the peeved looks on the faces of the hotel staff beside him. “Our family also has a hotel. It’s definitely better than this one!”

“Young Master Yu, don’t worry. Our Liang family’s hotel is famous throughout the country. The situations you mentioned will never happen.” The lobby manager appeared in the nick of time to speak up for their hotel.

“Just now all of you were accusing Sister-in-law of fraud. Who knows if all of you are harboring any resentment.” As Yu Yan spoke, he glanced at Quan Yi and Gao Si from time to time.

“What you said makes sense.” Quan Meng nodded. “But I don’t have any money in my pocket. Can you let me stay there for free?”

Yu Yan’s eyes widened. He didn’t expect Huo Ling to be so inhumane. It was bad enough that he chased her out, but he didn’t even give her money!

“Of course. You’ll get the Presidential Suite. You can stay there for as long as you want!”

“Then let’s go.” Quan Meng was very forthright. She came here because she didn’t have money in the first place. If she could have a place to stay without having to look at Quan Yi and the other annoying people, it would be great, of course.

Quan Meng and Yu Yan left the hotel lobby as Quan Yi and the others watched mutely. They completely ignored the surprised, jealous, and envious gazes of the other people.

When Quan Meng followed Yu Yan out of the hotel, she saw Huo Ling wearing a coat and standing under the dim light, waiting for her. He was holding a thick coat that he had brought for her.

Quan Meng was a little dumbfounded. She was thinking to herself why this man was so good-looking. He was just like the male lead in an idol drama. He doesn’t even need any photographic filters or background music to accentuate himself. He simply stood there like a perfect piece of art.

Huo Ling’s eyes were also fixed squarely on the hotel’s entrance, afraid that he would miss Quan Meng. When he finally saw Quan Meng, he immediately ran up, but then slowed down again as if he remembered something.

“What are you doing here?” Yu Yan’s acting was a little fake, but with one glance at Yu Yan, Quan Meng could roughly understand that it was Yu Yan who called Huo Ling.

“Oh! I suddenly remembered that I have an appointment. I have to go!” After Yu Yan finished speaking, he leaned over to Quan Meng’s ear and whispered, “If you don’t have a place to go later, just go to our Yu family’s hotel and tell them my name!”

After saying that, Yu Yan slipped away under Huo Ling’s murderous gaze.

Halfway through, he turned back and took out a bunch of keys from his pocket and put them in Huo Ling’s hand. It was the car keys to the Maybach car that Huo Ling gave him the last time.

“By the way, I’ve been drinking and can’t drive, so you take the car first! Placate Mrs. Huo well!” Yu Yan winked at Huo Ling before running away again. This time, he really left for good.
