Chu Munan pondered for a mont, then a sarcastic smile appeared on his face as he spoke unceremoniously, "If you’ve got the guts, find it yourself!"
With that, he hung up the phone directly.
Lu Jingchen, standing in the hotel lobby, stared at the phone that had been hung up, his expression instantly darkening, his hand gripping the phone more and more tightly. If the phone wasn’t of such good quality, he might have deford it by now.
All around were guests and employees coming and going. Lu Jingchen was a well-known figure in An City, especially after the news stirred up during the wedding announcent and the incidents at the wedding itself, which made headlines everywhere. So everyone recognized him at a glance as the president of CK Group!
A middle-aged man just happened to co out of the elevator and imdiately spotted Lu Jingchen standing in the middle of the hotel lobby. A look of surprise appeared on his face, and he quickly walked over to Lu Jingchen with an extrely enthusiastic expression, extending his hand with a smile, "President Lu, I didn’t expect to see you here..."
The man, whose expression had been grim, was already in a foul mood, as his wife was now at a hotel with another man, and no one would be in a good mood after that.
Seeing soone coming up to bother him, his expression darkened even more, his slightly raised eyes showing no trace of warmth, only coldness, and he coldly spit out three words, "What’s the matter?"
The middle-aged man’s heart skipped a beat when he heard Lu Jingchen’s tone. Looking up, he t those eyes that seed filled with icy shards, and instantly felt a chill spreading from the soles of his feet throughout his body, making his legs feel weak. His voice stamred from the oppressive aura Lu Jingchen exuded, "No...no...nothing, just...just saw President Lu here and ca over...to...to say hello..."
Lu Jingchen glanced at him indifferently, not knowing whether he truly didn’t recognize the middle-aged man or simply couldn’t rember anyone he knew who fit his description. After the briefest glance, as if looking at a stranger, he diverted his gaze in less than ten seconds and began walking towards the elevator.
After Lu Jingchen left, the suffocating feeling the middle-aged man had vanished instantly, prompting him to take several deep breaths and wipe the non-existent sweat off his face.
Just as he wiped his face twice, his arm was suddenly grabbed from behind, and the oppressive feeling reappeared. He hurriedly turned around, and sure enough, Lu Jingchen stood behind him with a grim expression, scaring him so much his legs nearly gave way. He suppressed his fear and spoke, "President...President Lu, is there anything else you need?"
Lu Jingchen’s expression remained indifferent, but the previous suffocating aura had subsided. Seeing the man in front of him looking at him with reverence, he rely furrowed his brows, then withdrew his hand and calmly asked, "Do you know which room Chu Munan is in?"
Chu...Chu Munan?
Hearing this na, the middle-aged man was imdiately struck as if by lightning and quickly shook his head, "I don’t know which room Young Master Chu is in either, but I think it’s on the 36th floor. All of the 36th floor is presidential suites. I saw him once when I ca for a business trip last ti..."
After speaking, the middle-aged man cautiously watched Lu Jingchen in front of him, breathing more lightly, finally not stamring anymore.
Lu Jingchen furrowed his brows, answered with a simple "Mm," and then turned towards the elevator.
Once Lu Jingchen entered the elevator, the middle-aged man seed suddenly liberated, standing upright and wiping the sweat from his forehead, murmuring, "Oh my God, I thought I was in trouble with President Lu, but it seems Young Master Chu is the one who’s in trouble."
He did feel sowhat like an innocent bystander caught in the crossfire.
...
As soon as Chu Munan hung up on Lu Jingchen, he blocked his number, letting out a snort and displaying a deeply aningful smile.
Just as he put down his phone, the bedroom door of the presidential suite opened, and Song Qiao poked her head out.
Upon hearing the sound, Chu Munan turned to look and imdiately saw Song Qiao, with most of her body behind the door, only showing her head and neck. His face instantly wore a signature gentle smile as he asked, "All done with your shower?"
Song Qiao’s face was slightly flushed, a result of the steam in the bathroom. Hearing Chu Munan’s words, she paused briefly but quickly nodded. Her large eyes looked at him, her lips moving as though she wanted to speak, but no words ca out.
Chu Munan could tell Song Qiao had sothing to say. He placed his phone on the table but didn’t ask what she wanted to say, as he already had an idea.
His deep voice was refined and elegant, and for a mont, one might feel as if they were bathed in a spring breeze, "I’ve already asked soone to buy clothes for you. They’ll deliver them soon. Why don’t you stay in the bedroom for now? If you’re uncomfortable with here, you can lock the door. I’ll call you when the clothes arrive?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the door closed right in front of him, and before he could react, he heard the sound of the door locking.
Chu Munan, "...," was montarily speechless but soon broke into a wry smile.
This little woman is really... too inconsiderate of my face.
Do I look like a bad guy?
Instead of waiting for my n to return with clothes, I received a call directly from the hotel room manager.
"Young Master, President Lu is on the thirty-sixth floor banging on suite doors one by one. He even brought bodyguards; we simply can’t stop them. Many guests have been disturbed..."
Listening to the hotel manager over the phone, along with the faint sounds of commotion on the other end, Chu Munan’s face suddenly turned dark. He stood up and quickly walked towards the door.
Lu Jingchen really deserves a beating, banging on doors one by one—did he co here just to create havoc?
Thinking of those staying in the presidential suites, Chu Munan’s face imdiately turned grim. Holding his phone, he quickly walked towards the door.
After getting to the thirty-sixth floor, Lu Jingchen had no idea which room Chu Munan was in, and the hotel employees, even the manager, wouldn’t tell him since Chu Munan was the hotel owner.
So the man simply went for broke, ringing doorbells one room at a ti, banging on doors if they didn’t open. When people yelled curses as they opened the door to find neither Chu Munan nor Song Qiao, he would imdiately move to the next presidential suite.
Stopping once more in front of a presidential suite, Lu Jingchen, unfazed, began pressing the doorbell. After waiting less than half a minute with no response, he started banging.
A few minutes later, the door to the presidential suite swung open, and before seeing the person clearly, a furious barrage of curses had already erupted.
"Damn it, which idiot is banging on doors in broad daylight? Don’t know I was in etings all night? Looking for death?"
Without looking at the man who opened the door, Lu Jingchen was certain this was not Chu Munan’s room.
Based on his knowledge of Chu Munan, the man would never let anyone invade his space, let alone soone like this.
A crowd had gathered outside in the corridor—all guests staying on this floor in presidential suites, all brought out by Lu Jingchen’s door-banging.
Initially, everyone was full of anger, but when soone recognized Lu Jingchen, they dared not speak further, and seeing his deanor and actions seed he was here to...
Catch a betrayal?
With this thought in mind, everyone simply lingered at their doors or in the hallway to see exactly what Lu Jingchen intended.
The man awoken by Lu Jingchen’s banging opened the door, finding a taller man, failing to react as Lu Jingchen imdiately turned away, not seeing what kind of person was actually banging on his door.
Perhaps due to insufficient rest, the man’s temper was poor. Seeing Lu Jingchen turn to leave, without so much as an apology, anger surged as he stepped forward, blocking Lu Jingchen directly, speaking with a bad attitude, "What’s your deal, man? It’s bad enough you bang on my door in broad daylight disturbing my sleep, but interrupting without a word and thinking of leaving? Apologize!"
"Get lost!" But as soon as the man finished speaking, Lu Jingchen raised his eyes and coldly uttered two words.
The man’s gaze fell upon Lu Jingchen’s face, ominous as water, instantly startled. Quickly recovering his composure, his inner fury grew stronger, he raised his hand and pushed Lu Jingchen’s shoulder, angrily retorting, "How can you be so rude? You dress like a model, look decent, and think you don’t need to apologize?"
The people around saw the man blocking Lu Jingchen, all stood frozen. Hearing his words, they simultaneously drew sharp breaths.
At this mont, everyone shared a thought: Where did this man co from to confront Lu Gongzi?
They quickly reached a conclusion: This man definitely wasn’t from An City.
And moreover, this man didn’t know Lu Jingchen...
