Chapter 224: Third World: Lin Lins Tutorial: How To Punish Haters? (1/2)

After a long night's rest Qie Xieling finally rose from his slumber. He sat up right in bed and rubbed his half lidded eyes in a daze. The little dumpling was still trying to figure out where he was and just as he recalled Feng Zi, he excitedly turned around expecting to see his new dad but to his surprise he wasn't there.

Instead, there was Airen who was sitting in a chair browsing something on her laptop with a stern expression. Beside her was a neat pile of clothes meant for him and as soon as she noticed he was awake she said, "Little ancestor, you are awake. Why don't you go and wash up and I will go order you some breakfast," putting down the laptop.

"Why am I here? Where is dad?" he asked his expression sullen.

Airen heaved a deep sigh recalling yesterday's events and said, "He had something to discuss with the general. You will see him at breakfast. Now, be good and wash up while I am downstairs," before heading out the door.

Qie Xieling felt upset and he wasn't the kind who could easily let things go. Everything was going great till this General person showed up. Thinking of the general, a terrified feeling wailed up in his heart. Was that man going to take his dad away? That thought made the little boy feel insecure especially when Feng Zi hadn't officially adopted him which meant he could be left behind.

Terrified out of his mind, he washed up and wore the clothes left for him by Airen. But instead of waiting for her to come back, he left the room and took the elevator downstairs. His destination, the reception desk.

He wanted to get Feng Zi's room card and see his dad. If he sees him then at least he did be reassured. With that in mind, he stealthily approached the reception desk. It seemed the receptionist didn't notice the short person as she was knee deep in gossip.

Qie Xieling who was crawling under the desk heard some of it but most of it didn't make sense. The receptionist was standing with a cup of coffee chatting with one of the room service staff. "I am telling, that room was a mess. She basically destroyed everything. How badly did the man treat her to drive her that crazy?" said the chatty room service lady.

"Let me tell you those two are not simple people. The girl is from the Zhao family, one of the richest families. The man is General Qie. Their history is so complicated so if I were you I would talk less. Will gossip more once they have checked out," said the receptionist in a low whisper.

The conversation went on but Qie Xieling barely paid attention silently putting his hand in the open drawer from under the desk. If the receptionist was paying attention all she would have seen was a tiny hand groping about in her drawer. Fortunately for Qie Xieling, the receptionist would rather be working for a gossip column than a hotel making it easy for him to find the box with room cards.

The little sneak quickly scanned through the room cards and found the one that belonged to his dad's room. He was about to return the box in its original position when he heard something that upset him. "Oh, you weren't here last night. Let me tell you, there was a man who came in here dressed in drag holding a cute kid. That kid was so adorable but what sin did his ancestors commit that he did end up with a queer father," said the receptionist.
