Chapter 36: The Daughter-In-Law Ran Away

e was an extremely wicked devil, a dark and ferocious beast, far from the perfect lover they imagined."Luoxi, why do you seem indifferent toward this CEO Li" After turning her eyes around a few times,...Chapter Thirty-Six: The Daughter-In-Law Ran Away

Yan Luoxi walked into the hotel with a heavy heart. Seeing some people gathered at the front desk, she lowered her head to take out her ID card and planned to wait until they dispersed before checking in.

"Miss Yan, what a coincidence," a gentle voice sounded beside her.

Yan Luoxi suddenly turned around and saw Guo Xiehui, the bank president who had taken her to the hospital that afternoon. Guo Xiehui was impeccably dressed in a suit, his smile perfect without any flaws.

"Mm-hmm, it's truly a small world," Yan Luoxi chuckled awkwardly, playing on her dry wit. "You paid for my medicine at the hospital; I forgot to give you the money when I was there. Now I should return it."

Guo Xiehui was amused by her comment. "Hearing that, it sounds like you think I'm following you just to get my money back."

Yan Luoxi felt a bit embarrassed and pinched the small wallet in her hand, unsure if she should give the two hundred-yuan bills to the bank president.

Holding back his remaining smile, Guo Xiehui glanced at the ID card and money in her hand. He asked curiously, "Are you planning to stay here tonight"

Yan Luoxi felt even more embarrassed; all her misfortune was now before this person's eyes. Since it had already happened in front of him anyway, she didn't mind looking worse for wear. She might as well admit it. "Yes, I have no home to return to tonight."

"We have long-term business suites here that are currently available. If Miss Yan doesn't mind staying there, you won't need to go through the trouble of checking into a room," Guo Xiehui kindly suggested in a tactful manner.

"... Ah..." Yan Luoxi's mind raced rapidly. "Cough, how could I be so bold as to accept." She neither explicitly refused nor immediately agreed. Since she was not wealthy, it made sense to save money wherever possible.

I might need to leave tomorrow, and who knows how far I'll have to run or when I can find another job. There are plenty of places where I’ll need to spend money.

"You're my sister; there's no shame in staying here. The suite is idle anyway." Guo Yuehui spoke naturally as if Yan Luoxi really were his sister, then turned towards the service desk for a room card.

"Do you need me to escort you upstairs" Guo Yuehui handed the room card to Yan Luoxi while asking gently.

"No, no. This is already a huge help." Yan Luoxi didn’t care about appearing timid in front of him anymore. She waved the room card and smiled. "Brother Guo, thank you for today. I can find my way to the room by myself."

Guo Yuehui was momentarily stunned by her sudden bright smile and the unexpected address as 'brother.' When he recovered, Yan Luoxi had already walked lightly towards the elevator.

Holding the room card while walking towards the elevator, Yan Luoxi thought to herself. No wonder this man could become a bank president at such a young age; indeed, he handles matters steadily, with appropriate measures and timing.

Standing in the bustling hotel lobby, Guo Yuehui watched as Yan Luoxi entered the elevator, his face showing signs of contemplation.

Yan Luoxi used her room card to open the door to a luxuriously spacious suite. She knew this wasn't an ordinary private room but one fit for VIPs.

Sigh, this worn-out body has suffered so much hardship with me; today it finally gets some proper compensation.

Yan Luoxi filled the spa tub with water and sprinkled some exquisite petals from a small jar beside it. As she lay down, her eyes suddenly felt sore, but she didn't bother to wipe them.

At this moment, Yan Luoxi was soaking in a luxurious bathtub, while someone else was so anxious that blisters were forming on their lips.

Liyuan Yi saw Yan Luoxi enter the elevator and took off running despite his leg injury. He hurriedly headed for another elevator. When he finally got out of the apartment building via the elevator, there was no sign of Yan Luoxi anywhere. All he could see faintly was a black car speeding away.

He knew that this neighborhood was home to wealthy and powerful residents; it would be impossible to hail a taxi here. If Yan Luoxi were walking, she couldn't have gone too far. With his injured leg making it difficult for him to go down the stairs, he could only strain his eyes to look afar, hoping that Yan Luoxi was still within his line of sight.

Seeing no sign of Yan Luoxi anywhere, Liyuan Yi grew both anxious and panicked. Driving wasn't an option now, nor did he have his phone with him. He could only return upstairs angrily and pick up the phone to call Yan Luoxi. To his dismay, she had turned off her phone.

He furiously raked his hair and made another call.

Ming Zixi was having lunch with clients when he saw that Liyuan Yi was calling him and didn't hesitate to answer it. But as soon as Liyuan Yi answered, he began shouting, "It's all your fault! You've driven my wife away!" His voice quivered.

What the hell is going on...

All the clients at the table looked at Ming Zixi with surprise.

Ming Zixi quickly covered the phone and stood up, giving an embarrassed laugh. "A younger brother, who's still young and inexperienced, got into a small argument with his girlfriend and is all riled up."

Lian heard Ming Zixi talking about him on the phone and finally found someone to vent his anger at. He roared like a fire-breathing dragon: "What are you babbling about As if I’m inexperienced. Are you experienced then All the bad things happened because of your advice. If you hadn’t given me that stupid idea, would this have happened Let me tell you, if you don’t help me find my wife today, I’ll tell your dad."

Lian’s temper was naturally bad; he liked to take his anger out on others. Now that Yan Luoxi had run away, he was both angry and anxious. He couldn’t think rationally about his own mistakes but only tried to find external causes and erase the awkward consequences of his drunken misconduct.

"What’s going on now I’m getting no good for my kindness. How did everything become my fault" Ming Zixi left the private room, raising his voice as well.

"You gave me that stupid advice in the first place and made me act without thinking it through. As a result, when she woke up, she turned against me. The goose was cooked... What good things have you done" In a moment of desperation, Lian didn’t care about anything anymore; he even lost his moral底線and blamed Ming Zixi for everything.

Ming Zixi got frustrated by Lian’s berating and cursed him over the phone: "I had arranged everything for you. It’s just that you’re incapable, a worthless man..."

"You are the one who is worthless." Men hate hearing this phrase the most; Lian was no exception and flew into a rage.

Ming Zixi quickly apologized to calm down Lian’s rising anger: "I know you’re capable. Could it be that because your abilities are too strong, it made people half-dead and frightened them away"

"Stop talking nonsense and help me find her fast," Lian was frustrated by his inability to walk and felt like he was suffocating.

"Where do you want me to look for her" Ming Zixi didn’t know where to start. The city was so big; finding someone here would be like looking for a needle in the ocean.

"Go to Zhou Guangtao’s company first and see if that little girl is there. She might have gone there to complain since he’s her boyfriend."t up with determination.Guan Xiaoke’s words struck a sensitive nerve in Lian An, who abruptly stood from his chair, towering over her. She quickly stepped back two steps."Come up with a better excuse!...
