107 Chapter 107 : Slip of the tongue (1/2)

The employees of the Ling family inn were quite ecstatic when the wife of Xing Hongqi appeared in front of them.

Xiulan was oblivious to the popularity of their love story that's why she was so surprised to see these people to happily greet her like they saw their idol.

”Welcome to our humble inn, Mrs. Xing. I am Yi Sha, the head manager of this inn. We are deeply delighted to have you as our guest.” Yi Sha, or more known as the culprit and ex-trusted confidant of the Ling family, greeted Xiulan with the utmost respect.

Xiulan regards everyone with a charming smile and a humble greeting. Though, she specifically raised her hand to have a handshake with Yi Sha.

Yi Sha happily took Xiulan's business yet humble greeting. Looking at Xiulan, her eyes were already sparkling in Yuan sign just seeing the wife of the famous Xing Hongqi.

She's not sure why an important figure is in this tiny town, but nevertheless, she was ecstatic to serve an important celebrity. She knew that she's an important relative of the Ling family but she's somewhat confused why stay here instead of using the Ling family mansion.

Though she was confused and a little bit suspicious, she disregards this thinking and will concentrate on how to curry favor from this important guest.

Yuyin coughed awkwardly near Xiulan when she saw that money thirsty face from Yi Sha. She rarely comes here in the inn because she didn't like mingling with two-faced people. As possible, she doesn't want to include herself in any Ling family business.

She chose to be a history professor because that's what she likes. She was never interested in business. Now that she's entangled in taking care of her cousin and this entrapment plan, she's not sure if her peaceful life would suddenly change.

”Little Xiulan, I'm going back to the university. I'll leave you for now. Just message me if you need anything.” Yuyin bid her goodbyes and quickly winked at Xiulan.

Xiulan only smiled and bid farewell to Yuyin and put her attention back to the head manager Yi Sha.

Xiulan followed Yi Sha inside to her designated floor which is on the sixth floor. The Ling family inn has a total of twelve floors. It may be not that tall but the inn is wide enough that it has its own four hot springs.

This will be Xiulan's third time coming here and the old inn was still the same, except that some decorations have gotten old and the care takes didn't even bother to change them. ”It must be because this Miss Yi Sha took all the budget for the maintenance.” she crudely thought.

”Head Manager, may I kindly ask if there are still hot springs in this inn.” Xiulan initiated a topic to discuss even though she already knew the answer.

”Yes, Mrs. Xing. We still have them. Please let me know if you want to use it tonight so we could arrange a new schedule. We have a lot of guests tonight and all four hot springs might be unavailable for you to use.” Yi Sha humbly answered Xiulan's inquiry.

On the outside, this Yi Sha woman looks fine and friendly. She displays an aura that you can trust your whole life and business to her. Outside appearances can tamper anyway.

It's quite scary to think that she can act like this and then steal to her employers that treated her family already. Xiulan can't believe that a person could exist. Reality is scarier than fiction.

Yi Sha toured Xiulan for an hour before Xiulan decided to take a rest. Well, she traveled for so long and even walked a lot with high heels on. She wanted to take a nap for an hour or two.

Xiulan took her time to freshen up and change to more comfortable clothes. When everything is good, she excitedly jumps on her bed and rolled on the sheets like a little kid. New and clean bedsheets are so good to feel on the skin. It's something that satisfies her so much.

She ready herself to sleep when she remembers to call that paranoid husband. Her phone was on silent ever since her foot landed in this town.
