Chapter 9 (2/2)

Since she was familiar with the layout of the Guibin Hotel, she knew that the whole seventh floor was dedicated to VIPs only and there were luxurious booths prepared for guests with social status. Also, those guests were all extremely wealthy and they usually had bodyguards with them.

She planned to get into one of the booths to hide from those two.

However, she did not know which booths were occupied as all of the doors were tightly shut. Then, she noticed a girl crying in a crouch beside a booth.

The girl seemed to be around five or six years old. She wore a sophisticated checkered knitted dress paired with the newest red suede boots with an expensive-looking crystal hair clip on her hair. She had to be the child of someone wealthy and yet, she was alone while crying in a crouch near the half-shut booth door with her head lowered.

Laughter and chatter were heard from the half-shut door while the girl hugged her knees and continued sobbing. She looked sorrowful and helpless as her shoulders shook.

He Yi’s heart skipped a beat as if someone twisted her heart painfully. Forgetting the dangerous situation she was in, she could not help but walk to the sobbing girl and whisper, “Girl, what’s the matter?”

The girl looked up when she heard her voice and revealed her delicate cheeks covered with tears. However, she kept sobbing without a word.

He Yi staggered and almost fell.

‘She’s…’ He Yi stared at the girl’s somewhat familiar features. Her delicate cheeks, huge sparkly eyes, brush-like thick and long lashes were similar to He Yi’s when she was a child.

The explanation was obvious. He Yi almost lost control of her emotions and her mind became a blank from the sudden surprise. She could hear herself trembling when she asked, “Wan Wan? Is that you?”

She lowered herself into a crouch and extended her arms that were shaking even more than her voice to touch the pretty girl. She approached her carefully while holding her breath as if she was a bird as she repeated, “Wan Wan? Is that you?”

The girl was startled and the sorrow in her huge eyes turned into shock. “Madam, who are you? How do you know my name?”

‘Madam?!’ He Yi’s heart jerked and she almost failed to grasp the girl’s slim wrist. She could not believe that the girl called her “madam”.

He Yi shut her eyes in agony as her tears gushed out. Her heart was torn into pieces and she could not breathe from the pain. However, she knew that she did not have the time to be sad at the moment.

She bit her lip hard so that she could clear her head from the pain. She suppressed her emotions and threw her gaze toward the half-shut booth door. “Wan Wan, is your father in there?”

Although Wan Wan did not recognize the weird lady who behaved strangely, she did not fear her at all. She did not even repulse the physical contact from He Yi although she was always shy. She sniffed and answered softly, “Dad is in there. It’s my brother, Ke Ke’s birthday today!”

‘I see!’ He Yi understood at once and became furious. That beast, Chu Tianyi, must have chased her daughter out of the booth. She was crying on the floor outside helplessly when Su Anqi and Chu Tianyi were enjoying a feast and celebrating their son’s birthday cruelly.

There were no words to describe He Yi’s anger and she could no longer control herself.

She turned around and observed that the men in black were still following her while checking on her while her nemesis was right inside the booth.

He Yi’s paths were blocked and there was no other way to retreat. She was in a desperate situation.

Determined, she pulled Wan Wan and held her head high as she said, “Let me take you to ask Chu Tianyi what did you do to deserve starving outside the booth!”
