“Bro, let me tell you: That old lady in your family isn’t easy to deal with. You’ve offended her this time around, so aren’t you afraid that she’ll take revenge on you?”
Murong Cheng was unlike Qu Xiujie as he would care more about the consequences. No matter what he did, he would consider all steps. If he had not been like this, he would have never become this hotel’s general manager.
“What should I be afraid of, though honestly, I’m still slightly afraid. You have no idea how cunning that woman can get. She can put in good words for me while thinking of a way to show how kind-hearted she is. Only that old bloke will like that kind of woman and treat her as a treasure. I’m really curious about what he will do if he learns about her true self.”
He laughed as though he could see the old lady’s future.
“You’d better be careful. Although this is a five-star hotel, there can be irrelevant people who stay here, so you need to be more alert.”
Murong Cheng stood up, and as he looked at the exquisite floor-to-ceiling windows, he wished that all these were not true.
“I got it; don’t worry.”
The moment Qu Xiujie left the doors of his family, he knew what circumstances he was in. He had thought about his route of retreat. If any accident happened to him, Pei Ge would be the first to learn of it.
That was because, in his phone, the woman’s phone number was on speed dial one.
“Look at you; I’ll be working tomorrow, so I can’t come and look for you. If you’re hungry, you can go out and find food or call room service. Anyway, the service in this hotel has always been very good.”
His friend placed credit cards on the coffee table. “There is one million in this. You gave me this for safekeeping. I’ll let you use it first. Tell me if it’s not enough, alright?”
“Sure, you’re a true brother!”
He did not expect that, when he was down and out, this guy would help him, but he could not remember having left one million to this friend.
“That’s what brothers are for, right?”
Murong Cheng laughed. His hand, which was holding the credit card, trembled slightly. Looking at Qu Xiujie who was enveloped in smoke, he said, “Stay here comfortably, and if there’s any suspicious person, call me immediately. I’ll go get busy now and not talk to you anymore.”
He wanted to leave after saying that, but Qu Xiujie, who was on the sofa, stood up and smiled. “Bro, thank you.”
“No need; just don’t create trouble when you’re here.”
He smiled and gave him a couple more cigars which were in his pocket. “Don’t smoke too much. If there’s nothing left, I have none, either.”
“What a friend! Earlier, you said that you only have one left. Seeing that you actually have this many, I won’t trust you again. It turns out that you’re hiding them.”
Seeing him remove another five cigars from his vest pocket as though he were playing magic tricks, Qu Xiujie decided to check his other pocket.
“Hey! There’s really none left, but you don’t believe me.”
Murong Cheng let him check his other pocket because he knew that his friend would never forget his cigars.
He initially only took one cigar when he left his office, but before he exited the door, he thought of how this man would need several cigars whether he was happy or not. Thinking of that, he went back and took five more cigars.
“Very well. You actually kept them from me when meeting me.”
Qu Xiujie searched his friend from top to bottom but could not find a seventh cigar. Unsatisfied, he said, “If I find another stick, I won’t let you go today.”
“If you don’t let me go, who’ll let you stay in the hotel for free?”
Murong Cheng smiled. He had no idea whether he should laugh or cry at how this man was so uptight about cigars. He had no other hobby other than smoking.
“Ji Ziming, if I give him a call, I believe he’ll let me stay.”
Although Qu Xiujie gave that young man reliable intel, it was much more important than what the latter gave him. He believed that if he really gave him a call, he would let him stay in the hotel for long.
After all, having a previous benefactor was the true triumph card.
“CEO Ji? How do you know him?” asked his friend with surprise. He actually did not know when this guy had met his boss and that he had looked for the man in his house.
“Just today; I met him today.”
Qu Xiujie sat on the sofa again as he appeared nonchalant in the face of Murong Cheng’s doubts.
The other quickly sat beside him. Rather than his brother’s safety, he was more curious to know if that man, who was feared and praised by everyone in the capital, was truly unruffled by the trifling of the mortal realm or a crazy wife-lover.
“Shoot quickly; what is he like? Is he really very good?”
Seeing the glow in his friend’s eyes, Qu Xiujie suddenly had the thought of teasing him.
“What really good? Could it be that you want to go after him?”
“What are you talking about? I’m just making conversation. You have no idea how rarely I see him in this hotel. He looks like a frosty iceberg every time, so I wanna ask you if the Ji Ziming you met and the one I saw are the same.”
Murong Cheng admitted that he was nosy but did not expect his friend to be nosier than he was.
“Then, tell me how the man you saw is like a frosty mountain; does he treat his wife well?”
“I heard my female colleagues saying that he is cruel toward his wife. There are a lot of scars on her neck and arms. Other women say, though, that he treats her super well like a crazy wife-lover. Whose words do you think I should believe?”
“I believe the former to be true.”
Qu Xiujie had no idea why he chose that, but he knew that the real Ji Ziming would be alert and mock other men who looked at his wife.
