Jiang Shiyu stumbled down the hotel corridor, her high heels clattering to the floor as she rushed.
The corridor lights illuminated Jiang Shiyu's face, revealing a complexion flushed as red as blood.
The drug's effects were taking hold, her consciousness growing increasingly hazy. If she continued like this, she would be caught sooner or later.
Jiang Shiyu bit her tongue, the sharp pain momentarily clearing her head.
Fortunately, the elevator was just ahead. Jiang Shiyu mustered her last ounce of strength and dashed into it just before the doors closed.
"Bitch! Get out here!"
The people sent by Murong Xue were still relentless, pounding desperately on the elevator doors from the outside, but it was all in vain!
Knowing she was safe, Jiang Shiyu slumped into the elevator like a puppet with a broken string.
The elevator doors opened again.
Unaware that this was the presidential suite on the top floor, Jiang Shiyu swayed as she walked in.
Hearing the gushing sound of water from the bathroom, Jiang Shiyu vaguely made her way in that direction...
When she opened her eyes again, the outside world had transformed from day to night.
Jiang Shiyu struggled to open her eyelids, seeing a snow-white ceiling.
Her head throbbed.
A sliver of the morning sun peeked through a gap in the floor-to-ceiling curtains.
As Jiang Shiyu turned her head, she saw a man lying beside her.
Although the light was dim, the man's chiseled, stern facial features were exceptionally clear.
Beyond handsome, no other adjective could describe the man's appearance.
Even in his sleep, a powerful, noble aura flowed from him.
Murong Cheng was disturbed by Jiang Shiyu's somewhat loud waking movements. The moment he opened his eyes, a petite figure flashed past his vision and into the bathroom, the door slamming shut.
A dark glint flickered in Murong Cheng's ink-black eyes.
It really was her last night.
Inside the bathroom, Jiang Shiyu, still shaken, turned on the shower, letting the cold water cascade onto her skin to calm her thoughts.
Her reputation was already poor. If news of this spread, her grandfather's inheritance would be swallowed by the ambitious Gu family!
She had to leave here quickly.
Jiang Shiyu swiftly cleaned herself and changed into her clothes from the previous night.
As she opened the bathroom door, she was met by the sight of a man with a robust build standing outside.
The man stood like a mountain, blocking her path.
Jiang Shiyu frowned, "Last night... I barged into your room. It was my fault. I will compensate you. Can you add me on WeChat..." wap.kanshu伍.net
"You don't remember me?" the man's clear, cold voice interrupted Jiang Shiyu's rambling.
"Who are you?"
Hearing the man's words, surprise flickered in Jiang Shiyu's beautiful eyes, and she couldn't help but pause.
"My name is Murong Cheng."
The man's gaze deepened, fixing on her as if trying to make her recall something.
"Murong Cheng?" Jiang Shiyu couldn't recall ever meeting this handsome face.
She searched her memory carefully.
Murong Cheng was so handsome; if she had met him, she would never forget.
But she had no recollection.
Could it be...
"I understand. How much do you charge per night? I'll give you triple, though I don't have the money now. I'll have it in a few days..."
How much per night?
Murong Cheng's handsome face darkened, his expression turning ugly.
It was one thing that she didn't recognize him, but to mistake him for someone like that?
Jiang Shiyu was bewildered.
When did she steal something so valuable!
This man wouldn't try to extort money, would he!
Murong Cheng's lips curved slightly at the corner, his gaze drifting downwards, "What do you think?"
Jiang Shiyu's face, already flushed with anger, turned even redder, as if it could bleed. kan shu la
Murong Cheng raised an eyebrow and seized Jiang Shiyu's wrist.
"Let go of me!"
Jiang Shiyu, both embarrassed and annoyed, tried to shake off the man's hand. Before she could react, the man lunged closer.
The distance between them suddenly became less than a fist.
The man's hot breath washed over her ear!
"You slept with me, so I'm yours now."
"Shameless!" Jiang Shiyu struggled, her face outwardly calm, but her heart pounding rapidly!
He was just afraid she wouldn't pay, wasn't he!
"I'll give you money! Whatever you want! Just let me go first!"
Jiang Shiyu just wanted to get out of this hellhole quickly.
"You plan to go out looking like this? Stand still."
Murong Cheng's wicked smile faded.
Seeing Jiang Shiyu's wrist turning red from his grip, he quickly released it, a barely perceptible trace of heartache flashing in his pupils.
His subordinate quickly brought clothes. Jiang Shiyu changed in the bathroom and looked in the mirror. They fit quite well. This man actually knew her size so well.
Thinking of this, Jiang Shiyu's face flushed slightly again.
Jiang Shiyu pushed open the bathroom door, and suddenly, a commotion and footsteps erupted from outside.
The next second, to Jiang Shiyu's horror, many reporters rushed in, cameras and microphones in hand.
"A mysterious person reported that the Gu family's eldest daughter is having an affair with a wild man here!"
"Oh my god! Is that the Gu family's eldest daughter who caused the ruin of other families? It's truly outrageous!"
Seeing Jiang Shiyu standing in the room, a swarm of reporters descended, jostling for position, "Miss Jiang, please, your lover..."
Before the microphone was even a centimeter from Jiang Shiyu's face, a large hand descended from above, swatting the reporter's microphone away.
The microphone hit the wall with a loud crash.
"Get out, all of you! Anyone who dares to leak anything about today will disappear from this world!!!"
The man, already nearly six feet three inches tall, stood beside the petite and delicate Jiang Shiyu, appearing even taller and more imposing. Even just waking up, a powerful aura and noble presence flowed from him. kan shu 伍. ξà
The reporters present shivered.
It was unclear which sharp-eyed reporter first recognized the man's identity and fled. Seeing the situation turn sour, the other reporters followed suit and scattered like birds.
Within a minute, the suite was quiet once more.
Outside the door stood a young girl in a white linen dress.
The girl was in her early twenties, standing gracefully like a white lotus.
Jiang Yurou immediately spotted Jiang Shiyu in the room, "Sister, you didn't come home last night. Mom and Dad were very worried about you! How could you do something like this..."

Before Jiang Yurou could finish speaking, Jiang Shiyu raised her hand and slapped her.
Jiang Yurou's face instantly swelled. Jiang Shiyu had hit her with all her might, "Sister, you hit me?!"
"What, do I need a special occasion to hit you? Don't think I don't know you called the reporters! I'll settle the score with you later!"
Jiang Shiyu shook her numb hand and left the suite.
Glaring resentfully at Jiang Shiyu's retreating back, Jiang Yurou's face burned with pain.
She would get revenge for this slap sooner or later. Jiang Shiyu, that bitch, after what happened tonight, who in Haicheng would dare to marry her? With the Mu family's engagement broken, how could she still be so arrogant!
Jiang Yurou collected herself and noticed a young, handsome man still standing in the suite. Her heart instantly quickened, a flutter of butterflies in her chest. She put on a pitiful expression, "Sir, please don't blame my sister, she's just being thoughtless. I apologize on her behalf..."
