Gu Cenye's face was full of seriousness, "Okay, I'll have the manager call all the staff on duty tonight to the second floor."

He called the hotel manager and, besides asking him to bring the person up to the second floor, he also asked him to check the security footage. Since this person dared to blatantly scheme against Shen Wanci, he must have thought about the consequences of being exposed and had probably already fled.

"Mister Gu, would you mind copying tonight's surveillance footage for me later?"

I wonder if the news about her wearing red lipstick will blow up in the media, but just to be safe, I'd better get my hands on the surveillance footage first. This hotel's network firewall seems pretty weak.

Gu Cenye didn't ask the reason: "Okay."

He turned back to get his phone, only then did Jiang Yazhu see Nie Yu Cheng inside treating his wound: “Yu Cheng, how did you get hurt?”

Nie Yucheng didn't elaborate: "I accidentally crushed the cup."

Shen Wanci originally wanted to ask the doctor to take a look at Jiang Yajue's waist, but she refused.

After ten minutes, everyone on duty at the hotel tonight was gathered on the second floor.

As expected, Shen Wanci looked around but couldn't find the waiter who had passed her a message.

Gu Chenye passed the copied surveillance footage to Shen Wanci, “Auntie, that person just started working a while ago and is still in training. He hasn't officially gone on duty yet. Tonight was too busy, so the manager assigned him some cleaning tasks, but I didn't expect this to happen. I apologize, Auntie. It was my side that caused this. I’ve already arranged for someone to look for him. When we find him, I will hand him over to Uncle, or I'll handle this matter myself?”

"If it turns out he has no relationship with Ji Siyuan, and he just took the money, then you deal with it."

There was a deep weariness in her eyes and face, still as pale as a sheet: "This has nothing to do with you. Don't take responsibility for it."

By the time he finished handling that matter and went downstairs, Bo Rongxuan had already settled the guests. In the vast hall, besides the cleaning staff, there was only him left.

"I was just about to go find you," Bo Rongxuan walked up to Jiang Yajue and naturally took her hand, "Why are you so cold? Your face doesn't look good either."

Jiang Yazhu shook her head: "It's too cold, let's go back?"

"Isn't it that we are too lazy to run, so we will stay in a hotel tonight?"

"I want to go back, I had a social engagement last night and I'm a little tired. I'm afraid I won't be able to sleep if I change beds, I have an appointment with someone tomorrow."

Wherever Bao Rongxuan lived was fine with Jiang Yajue. She said to go back, so they would go back.

If it were before, Jiang Yajue would definitely have asked Shen Wanci to return to the old house together. But today she was acting out of character and didn't, even urging Bo Rongxuan to leave quickly, as if her only concern was getting home.

Bo Rongxuan looked at Shen Wanci.

Shen Wanci hurriedly said, “Dad, you take Mom back first. She fell today and twisted her waist, she probably isn't feeling well.”

Bo Rongxuan immediately disregarded Shen Wanci, worriedly touching Jiang Yajue's lower back: "What's wrong?"

"I was just making a phone call outside and slipped, but I'm fine, it doesn't hurt anymore."

The Jiang family's old house was quite a distance from the hotel, otherwise Jiang Yajue wouldn't have suggested staying here for a night. By the time they returned, it was already one or two in the morning. After changing her shoes, Jiang Yajue went straight to the master bathroom. She turned on the faucet and filled the bathtub with water.

The heater whirred, and Jiang YaZhu stared blankly at the rippling water surface, her mind replaying the phone call she received in the garden today and the photo sent to her phone.

It's him, it has to be him.

Besides him, no one else will have those photos.

She sat on the edge of the bathtub, staring at the water's surface in a daze, her body trembling uncontrollably. It wasn't until the tub was full and the water overflowed, wetting her hips, that she reacted. She quickly turned off the water and took off her clothes before sitting down.

The warm water enveloped her, she comfortably closed her eyes, tilting her head slightly back, leaning against the edge of the bathtub.

"Xiao Ya? Yaya? A Zhu? Ya Zhu? So many names, which one do you like me to call you?"

"My name for you…Aya, okay?"

Jiang Yajiu suddenly opened her eyes and sat up from the bathtub. She gasped for breath, her heart still pounding as she stared at the water droplets rolling down the wall in front of her.

She fell asleep and had a nightmare. If she hadn't woken up suddenly, she would have probably slid down.

……

The next day.

She did see the news about the woman wearing red lipstick, but it wasn't trending because Nie Yucheng was taking up all the spots.

His video of punching Ji Siyuan was posted online. It wasn't serious at first, after all, it was just one punch. Besides being a little swollen on the face, Ji Siyuan didn't suffer any serious injuries. This level was completely not enough to be considered a fight??

But the bad thing is that someone exposed Ji Siyuan's orphan status and posted his photos from the orphanage. Photos from over a decade ago already have an old-fashioned feel, and besides, that orphanage wasn't great. It was dilapidated everywhere, with broken and worn-out things. Even the bowls for eating were missing a mouth.

This immediately sparked a war of words between the rich and poor, with people from both classes arguing fiercely online. As they argued, the news turned into a trending topic, escalating further and further.

These wealthy heirs and daughters, they think highly of themselves because of their status and look down on ordinary people like us. They beat us up whenever they want to.

"Little brother looks so pitiful. After being beaten, he doesn't even have anyone to speak up for him, he can only endure it himself."

"My face is all swollen, I just want to hug him so much."

"Looking at him like this, he's such a sissy, no masculinity at all. He was knocked down with just one punch! If it were me, I could definitely take ten punches from him and then come back for a counterattack. Don't blame others for being weak, just look at him, he looks like he's begging to be beaten."

"She's an orphan and has been malnourished since she was a child. She can't compare to you, a big, strong pig."

"I used to be a fan of Nie Yu Cheng, after watching an interview with him, I thought he was really great, gentle, polite, and handsome. Now I'm a fan turned hater, I'm going to Nie's doorstep right now to throw eggs."

You guys are all jumping up and down like monkeys, shouting for him. The person involved hasn't said a word himself, maybe he even got a huge payout and is secretly delighted.

Shen Wanci looked at the smoky comments section and exited Weibo. She called Qin Yuezhi to complain, "Yuezhi, what are you doing?"

"I'm doing the big job, giving Qin Jingrui that loser who owes money some ideological education. He wants to learn law, right? I specially asked Huo Tingdong to train him, and now he's exhausted like a dog, about to give up."

Qin Yuezhi couldn't dissuade Qin Jingrui, so she could only ask Huo Tingdong for help. Huo Tingdong's plan was to have him personally experience the pain of being a lawyer. No matter how much others said, nothing was as impactful as firsthand experience. However, there was a condition: during this time with him, Qin Yuezhi had to be his driver and be available at any time, providing 24/7 service.
