Chapter 223 Embarrassment
The moment the waiter saw the people in the room, his face turned deathly pale, he slammed the glass of red wine in his hand to the ground, and ran away.
The door was already locked.
"elder sister……"
Charles, sitting on the sofa, looked at the people fleeing in panic in front of him, his eyes crinkling and the corners of his mouth turning up as if he were smiling.
Liu Mei knew that he was angry, very angry.
"Why does my sister run away when she sees me? Am I some kind of monster?"
"As..."
Liu Mei met the man's deep, ambiguous eyes, her heart clenched, and she hesitated for a long time before calling out his name.
"elder sister……"
Charles got up and walked slowly toward her.
Time seemed to stand still as Liu Mei watched Charles's actions, her heart pounding.
In the confined space, Liu Mei's breathing became increasingly labored. She was forced to grip the doorknob tightly, but the door was locked, and she couldn't escape at all.
"As, you..."
"Sister, shouldn't you explain to me why you're here?"
Charles leaned down, his words gentle yet carrying a chilling force, "Forget what I said, you are not worthy to appear before me."
Liu Mei took a deep breath and said with a forced smile, "My father was in a car accident a couple of days ago and needs surgery, but I don't have that much money. As, I know my father has done some bad things. I just want a job. I didn't mean to appear in front of you."
"he……"
Charles curled his lips into a smile, "Whether he lives or dies is none of my business, and besides..."
As the man spoke, he glanced down at the shattered wine glass on the ground, "Remember to pay for this wine."
Liu Mei gripped her clothes tightly. "How much?"
"Not expensive."
Charles laughed and said, "Since we know each other, I'll give you a discount, one million."
"one million?"
Upon hearing this exorbitant price, Liu Mei stared at Charles with disbelief.
What kind of wine can be so expensive?
Let alone a million, she can't even come up with ten thousand right now.
"Oh, I forgot, you're no longer the same Miss Liu."
Charles met Liu Mei's gaze, a contemptuous smile playing on his lips. "Well, then there's nothing I can do. How about you reconsider my previous suggestion? If you come with me, I'll pay for your father's medical expenses. What do you say?"
"As, what happened to you?"
Liu Mei shook her head. "I'll figure out a way to get this million."
After that, she turned and left.
The door lock remained locked. She frowned at Charles and said, "Open the door."
Charles's dark eyes fell on Liu Mei, a half-smile playing on his lips, and he opened the door. "Then I'll wait and see."
Liu Mei ran away as if fleeing.
As Su Yiran and Gu Yanli came down from the top floor, a person rushed towards them and nearly bumped into her. Fortunately, Gu Yanli reacted quickly and immediately pulled the person into his arms.
"Be careful."
Su Yiran was a little confused. She turned around and immediately recognized the waiter who had gotten her clothes wet earlier.
She looked flustered and her face turned pale.
Su Yiran looked at her, "Are you alright?"
"No, it's nothing... I'm sorry."
Liu Mei lowered her head and ran away.
Su Yiran watched her retreating figure from afar. She seemed so anxious; could she really have encountered something like that?
On the cruise ship, everyone present was a prominent figure with complex relationships. It would be a disadvantage for a powerless girl to be there.
"you know?"
Gu Yanli followed her gaze.
Su Yiran withdrew her gaze and shook her head. "Are you really doing something shady here?"
"..."
Gu Yanli raised an eyebrow. "What do you mean by 'shady dealings'?"
Su Yiran playfully punched him, "You know perfectly well what I'm asking! Men are all lustful pigs; they can't resist a pretty girl!"
I just saw that she was quite good-looking; apart from her pale complexion, she was definitely above average in appearance.
And her demeanor is unlike that of an ordinary person.
"There are plenty of cases where it's consensual, I shouldn't be bothered to ask about each one, do I? Am I that bored?"
"As expected, all men are the same. Just now, could you tell that you were doing it willingly?"
"Understood, I'll have someone check it out later."
Gu Yanli rubbed her face. "This has nothing to do with me, so why am I the one suffering?"
"You're no better!"
As Su Yiran spoke, she continued walking forward on her own.
Gu Yanli watched her retreating figure and followed her, saying, "You talk as if you girls are any better. You're more capable of lusting after men than we men are. You're definitely lecherous."
"..."
Su Yiran stopped, turned around and looked at him, "Say that again?"
"...That's true. Take you for example. Every time you see a man who's even slightly good-looking, you can't resist. Don't think I don't know how many men you have saved on your phone."
Gu Yanli looked completely innocent.
You looked through my phone?
Su Yiran's eyes widened. "No wonder I always felt like something was missing from my phone. It turns out you were the one who tampered with it!"
"How can you blame me? Ninety out of a hundred pictures are of other men. You're slapping me in the face. Am I any less attractive than them?"
"..."
Hearing Gu Yanli's words, Su Yiran gritted her teeth and clenched her fists, "Gu Yanli!"
Seeing that she was about to get violent, Gu Yanli turned and ran!
"We're outside, calm down!"
"Gu Yanli, you dare to run? Stop right there!"
Su Yiran took off chasing after him, yelling, "Give me back my photos!"
That was something she had painstakingly preserved.
Her photo album had many pictures, and Gu Yanli was as cunning as a fox spirit. He didn't delete them all at once, but only a few at a time. At first, she didn't notice anything, but after a few times, the number of photos decreased, and she realized that she had accidentally deleted them. She never expected that Gu Yanli was involved.
Su Yiran grew angrier the more she thought about it and ran even faster, shouting, "Gu Yanli, stop right now, or I'll smash your cruise ship!"
"as long as you are happy."
Gu Yanli arrived at the private room, and the bodyguard at the door respectfully opened the door for him to enter.
"you……"
Su Yiran rushed in, almost blurting out, but when she saw the nearly ten people in the private room, all eyes fell on her, and her face stiffened.
She was so angry with Gu Yanli that she forgot he was there to discuss business.
She took a deep breath, awkwardly tugged at the corners of her mouth, and then glared at Gu Yanli.
Gu Yanli is the culprit!
You embarrassed her!
"Yiyi, over here!"
Wang Yanxi, standing to the side, waved to her, her innocent eyes falling on her.
It seems to be saying——
help me!
Wang Yanxi is standing next to Peng Wenjing.
Su Yiran walked over, but before she could sit down, Peng Wenjing smiled and said, "Mrs. Gu, your seat is over there!"
