He Ming looked at the time as he left Gu Shaoting’s office. It was still early, so he went back to his office.
He sent a WeChat message to Ye Xiaomeng, telling her to get ready for a surprise.
But he didn’t tell Ye Xiaomeng that he was going to visit her.
Because when Ye Xiaomeng arrived at her destination, she posted a photo on her WeChat Moments and the name of her hotel was visible in the photo.
He would just go there directly when he arrived.
After settling some recent business, He Ming left the office.
It was quite late when he got home. He checked his phone and saw that Xiaomeng still hadn’t replied to his message.
He couldn’t help but feel slightly worried because she rarely reply late. Even if she was busy, she would reply to him with a voice message to ease his mind.
Just as he was feeling puzzled, his phone suddenly rang. He thought it was Ye Xiaomeng, so he didn’t even look at the caller ID before he pressed the answer button.
“Hello, why are you only getting back to me now?” He Ming said reproachfully, but there was more longing than displeasure in his voice.
“Hello… Drinking… Burp…” The speech at the other end of the phone sounded incoherent. One could tell that the person was drunk because she couldn’t even form a complete sentence.
He Ming’s face fell. It wasn’t Ye Xiaomeng’s voice.
He then looked at his phone screen and frowned. It was an Il-digit caller ID.
He Ming thought that it must be a wrong number as the number was unfamiliar. He thought hard but had absolutely no impression of the number.
He had no choice but to press the phone back to his ear. “Who is this, please? Did you call the wrong number?”
“He… Brother… I didn’t call the wrong number. It’s me, Shanshan… Burp…” This time, He Ming heard it very clearly. It was Hu Shanshan.
But then He Ming wondered why she would call him so late at night.
She seemed to be drunk and probably called him by mistake.
“Brother… He, I’m having a little trouble at the bar. Can you come over, please? Hu Shanshan seemed more lucid now; she was no longer stuttering.
“What kind of trouble? It’s already very late. If you’re there with your friends, go home soon. It’s not safe for girls to be in that kind of place.” He Ming told her nicely as a big brother for the sake of his mother.
“Brother He, I’m at Guilanfang.” Hu Shanshan did not seem to hear He Ming’s advice. She hung up the phone after saying that.
“What a troublemaker,” He Ming couldn’t help but mutter. He was going to pack for his trip while waiting for Xiaomeng’s call.
He hesitated whether he should go to Hu Shanshan.
If he went without knowing the kind of trouble she was in, what if she got him into trouble too?
If he didn’t go, what if she was in real trouble and that was her call for help? It wasn’t his style to turn a blind eye.
In the end, He Ming put on his coat and went out to see what was going on with Hu Shanshan.
He Ming was once again speechless at his mother, who introduced him to such a troublemaker.
When he arrived at Guilanfang, he saw people coming and going and the bar was buzzing.
He Ming looked around the main bar but couldn’t find Hu Shanshan.
People kept pouring into the bar, and the place became more and more lively.
He Ming had no choice but to call Hu Shanshan.
“Where are you at Guilanfang? I’m here, but I don’t see you.” He Ming continued to look for her.
“I’m in room 032.” Hu Shanshan didn’t seem to be in a noisy environment. He Ming asked a waiter and finally found the private room Hu Shanshan was in..
