Mr. Jun didn't say anything in the end.
Jo Bao'er was conflicted. Watching the elderly man slowly leave the restaurant,
leaning on his cane, she wanted to chase after him.
Just as Ke Gang took a step forward, the old butler in front of her motioned for her to stop with a gesture. Ke Bao'er froze in place, her anxiety growing even stronger.
It's always like this, they never want to tell her anything.
She just wanted to know more about Junzhi Mu...
Ding ding——
The phone in the coat pocket vibrated, receiving a new text message.
<<<[ZhiMu is at the golden club.]>>>
Qiao Baoer clutched her phone, staring at the text message on the screen, falling silent.
The message was Xia Chui Xue's phone number, just a few short words.
Is Junzhi Mu now at the golden.club?
Golden Manor, a high-end private club, is something Qiao Bao'er knows about. She first encountered Jun Zhi Mu there when Yi Si Chen tricked her into going to a room at the club.
Her brow furrowed deeper, a cloud of doubt settling in her mind.
Staring at the new message, she lowered her gaze and fixed it on the jade pendant that Jun Zhimu had given her. It was a prestigious "Chance" platinum ruby necklace, and her heart beat faster, a sense of foreboding creeping in.
"The former deputy general manager had clearly said he wouldn't be back until tomorrow, why is Xia Chuixue texting me..."
What kind of tricks is she up to?
Last time during a rainstorm, she also received a mysterious text message asking her to go to the Gordon Hotel. However, later on Jun Zhi Mu insisted that it had nothing to do with Xia Chuixue.
Her heart was in turmoil, but she took a deep breath and dialed Xia Chuixue's phone number.
The number you have dialed is currently in use. Please try again later.
The repeated busy signals made Qiao Baier's face darken. She clenched her phone tightly, breathing rapidly, trying to calm herself down.
Calm down, I can't calm down!!
Yesterday, after the deputy general hung up on her call, he couldn't be reached. He kept saying to wait for Jun Zhimu to wake up and that his family's old man was speaking strangely, as well as this text message from Xia Chuixue.
They always say she's no help, that she doesn't want to cause anyone trouble. But she sits at home like a pincushion, who understands this feeling?
Called the driver from Jun's family and drove straight to Golden Club.
Regardless of whether Xia Chui Xue was playing tricks on her like last time, or whether the text message was true, she had to go and see for herself.
The car drove steadily forward. She sat in silence, watching the scenery outside the window blur by at high speed. Thoughts of Junzhi Mu's recent strange behavior swirled in her mind, leaving her feeling confused and disoriented.
"What's wrong with you?" she whispered.
Her eyes were a bit moist.
A sense of anxiety and self-loathing rose in her chest. She had truly done everything she could for him, and she felt utterly useless.
Forty minutes later, the car arrived at the Golden Club.
Qiao Bao'er got out of the car, and the driver from Jun's family led her to the front desk of the club. The service girl at the front desk heard the driver's words and immediately picked up the internal phone to call the person in charge of the club. Then they talked for a while.
"Good morning, madam."
Qiao Bao'er guessed that this club had close business dealings with the Jun family. The other party was quite respectful, and Jun Zhi牧 seemed to like resting here quite a bit.
"Where is Junzhi Mu now?" she asked hesitantly.
The club manager didn't try to hide anything, nodding curtly. "Yes, Young Master Zhimu is in room 2008..."
Qiao Bao'er heard this answer, feeling a mixture of emotions in her heart.
He is really here.
Qiao Bao'er pulled a strained smile, her cold voice carrying a tinge of forceful command, "Take me to see him."
"Yes."
She followed the head of staff into an elegantly European-style corridor.
On both sides of the corridor, delicate crystal chandeliers hung, casting a warm, pale yellow light. It was very quiet here. Stepping on the thick red carpet underfoot, I didn't encounter any other guests along the way. It seems that this is the VIP area.
"Give me the key card."
Arrived at room 2008, seeing the person in charge looking somewhat embarrassed, Qiao Baoer directly asked for the key card and told him to leave.
The other party let out a sigh of relief and said politely, "Madam, if you need anything, please ring the doorbell. I'll leave now."
Everyone knows the temper of Junzhi Mu, and they wouldn't dare to disturb him without his orders. But if his wife came to him herself, that would be a different story.
They are well-connected and have their fingers on the pulse of social circles. They need to be especially knowledgeable about certain groups, particularly those connected to the Jun family, lest they offend someone. It is said that Jun Zhi牧's wife is very pampered and difficult to get along with, but it seems she is more approachable than an ordinary woman...
Thinking of this, the other party couldn't help but turn back and remind, "Madam, Miss Xia is also..."
Beep—
With a beep, Qiao Baier deftly swiped her card, and the door swung open.
Miss Xia.
As soon as the manager said, "Miss Xia," Qiao Bao'er straightened her back. She had already seen Xia Chuixue's figure from the crack in the door.
"Summer Falling Snow…"
She murmured the name, her voice laced with complex emotion. Her gaze was fixed on the woman inside the room, who sat by the bed and leaned over, seemingly engrossed in some task.
The tapping of feet made the people inside turn around warily...
Xia Chuixue looked surprised, "How did you get here?"
"It was you who made me come here."
Qiao Bao'er stepped into the suite, suppressing some emotions. Her gaze fell on the man in bed, who had already woken up.
Junzhi Mu was indeed there. He watched her at the doorway and didn't speak immediately.
They just stood there, silent and unspeaking.
< Qiao Bao'er suddenly found it ridiculous, did this count as catching someone in the act? >
Technically speaking, it wasn't really inappropriate. At least there was nothing wrong with their clothes, and there were no suggestive or adulterous actions... It was just that Xia Chuixue had a worried expression and looked deeply affectionate as she sat by the bed taking care of her husband.
The woman outside worriedly took care of her husband. The scene was really something, Qiao Bao'er almost wanted to laugh, a sarcastic laugh.
You shouldn't get angry, you might even want to thank her.
"How did you get here?"
"Jun Zhi Mu propped himself up in bed, leaning against the headboard. His voice sounded hoarse as he asked the same question again."
"Xia Chui Xue asked me to come here."
There was not much emotion on her face as she walked towards him step by step. She no longer acted childishly and jealously like before, calmly repeating a sentence.
The man in bed was frowning, he glanced at the woman beside him.
"I received the text message you sent me."
"I didn't text you."
For a moment, the atmosphere was tense.
Everyone's tone was calm, Qiao Baoer endured the excitement in her chest and gritted her teeth, "So Miss Xia, may I ask if your phone has any missed calls from me?"
"50 minutes ago you did call me, but at that time the assistant in the group was busy talking to me and I didn't have time to answer..."
"What a coincidence!" Qiao Bao'er exclaimed, her feigned composure gone.
She was furious, not because Xia Chui Xue had done anything with him in this room, but because she repeatedly lied!
"Go out—"
Leaning against the man beside his bed, he had a splitting headache. He squeezed his eyes shut and growled, "Get out now!"
You want me to leave!
