By then, Gu Manxi wouldn’t be able to clear her name no matter what she did. She would have no choice but to marry Director Li.
“Yan, don’t you believe your mother?” Tang Chunxiu wiped the tears from the corner of her eyes and led Zhao Yan and the relatives to Room 3019.
She had calculated the time. By now, the two people in the room were probably done.
Room 3019. The door was wide open.
Tang Chunxiu said as she walked in, “Look, Director Li and Manxi are still-” the rest of her words were stuck in her throat.
Tang Chunxiu saw Cheng Qi, Gu Manxi, Gu Chu, and Director Li who’s on the floor. Tang Chunxiu was stunned.. Why was this little bastard Gu Chu here? And the young master of the Cheng family, why was he here too?
Zhao Yan stepped into the room and saw Gu Manxi in good condition. He felt a huge relief. “Manxi, it’s good that you’re okay. I was scared to death.”
Gu Manxi’s eyes were red.
Gu Chu raised her head from Gu Manxi’s arms and called out in a baby voice, “Uncle, you’re so late. Chuchu found Mommy before you did. Chuchu is amazing, right?”
Zhao Yan raised his eyebrows. “Chuchu, didn’t I tell you to wait for me in the car?”
Gu Chu scratched her eyelids and made a funny face before quickly burying herself in Gu Manxi’s arms. Zhao Yan didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.
Cheng Qi said, “Manager Wang, Go and call the police. There has been an incident of assault. The evidence and witnesses are all here.”
Manager Wang was the lobby manager on the 30th floor. He hurriedly nodded. “Yes, Young Master. I’ll go now.”
Director Li’s leg was fractured and he couldn’t stand up. He could already sense something going wrong. “Call the police? Call the police for what? I’m innocent! It was Director Tang who told me that she wants to marry her eldest daughter to me and I’m sleeping with my fiancée. Is that against the law?”
Gu Manxi’s face darkened.
Gu Manxi handed Gu Chu to Zhao Yan and said gently, “Big Brother, please take Chu Chu away first. Chuchu is still too young to witness something like this.”
Zhao Yan glanced at Director Li who was on the ground and a look of disgust flashed across his eyes. Zhao Yan now completely understood Tang Chunxiu’s actions. She wanted marriage between the Zhao and Li families, but she couldn’t bear to part with her precious daughter Manshi, so she thought of a way to find the missing Manxi to replace her.
Zhao Yan took Chuchu back and said to Gu Manxi, “I’ll send Chuchu home first and I’ll come back soon. Don’t be afraid, I’m here for you.”
Gu Manxi nodded with tears in her eyes. “Thank you, Big Brother.”
Gu Chu glanced at Director Li on the ground and interrupted, “Mommy, are you the fiancée of this ugly uncle? Chuchu doesn’t like this uncle. He looks like... like a piece of fat meat. Chu Chu doesn’t like fat meat.”
Director Li was furious.
Stupid Child!
Who said he looked like fat meat?!
“Mommy won’t find a new father for you. Chuchu, be good. Go home and wait for Mommy.” Gu Manxi caressed Gu Chu’s little face and spoke gently.
“Okay, Mommy, come home soon.” Gu Chu was extremely obedient and allowed Zhao Yan to carry her away. On the other hand, Cheng Qi couldn’t help but look at this little child, confusion flashing through his black eyes.
...
After the five-year-old child left, the atmosphere in the hotel room became serious again.
Cheng Qi returned to the main topic and acted like a young master of a large corporation. His tone was serious. “I was checking the quality of the hotel’s infrastructure today. When I passed by this room, I heard cries for help coming from inside. I opened the door and discovered this crime.”
After a pause, Cheng Qi glanced at Director Li who was on the ground. “Director Li, you can explain when the police arrive. As for Miss Gu Manxi, I suggest that we do a blood test on her. She might have been fed something dirty.”
