Shi Yu was surrounded by a large group of people as he came out of the VIP room, while Xia An’an was sitting on the ground, crying pitifully.
Because Shi Yu was so eye-catching, Xia An’an spotted him among the crowd in an instant, and for a moment, her tears stopped, and she lowered her head.
Several bodyguards saw Shi Yu, and one by one, they bowed their heads, "Mr. Shi."
Almost none of these bodyguards didn’t recognize Shi Yu, and those who knew his temperament didn’t dare to show the slightest disrespect in front of him.
Shi Yu didn’t even glance at them as he strode into the private elevator.
"Mr. Shi, let’s get in touch."
"Mr. Shi, I hope we can have a pleasant cooperation, and if possible, please honor us by joining us for a meal."
"Mr. Shi, I will definitely contact you as soon as there are new developments in the project."
It was only after the elevator doors closed that people wiped the thin sweat from their foreheads.
No one had expected that today’s business negotiation would go so smoothly.
Just as everyone was dispersing, Mo Qingxin came over from afar, followed closely by a very serious-looking He Rui.
Seeing He Rui, Xia An’an, who had just stopped crying, couldn’t help but start crying again, looking so pitiful that one couldn’t help but feel sympathy.
"Woo... Brother Rui..."
Her voice was mixed with sobs, sounding especially aggrieved.
He Rui furrowed his brows as he followed Mo Qingxin, and although he felt pity seeing Xia An’an’s state, he did not act rashly, and politely asked, "Miss Mo, may I know how my girlfriend has offended you?"
Mo Qingxin didn’t speak and merely gestured with her hand, prompting a bodyguard to bring over a tablet.
The bodyguard pulled up a video screenshot from the tablet, enlarged it, and then handed the tablet to He Rui.
He Rui took a look and was immediately stunned.
The video screenshot was of Xia An’an in the elevator.
The enlarged part of the screenshot showed her editing a text message; although the content was somewhat blurry, it was still legible upon closer inspection.
The message read: [Cousin, the deed is done. I sought the help of Brother Rui’s subordinate to release a snake into that bitch’s room, and I heard that bitch got scared half to death!]
After reading the text message, He Rui handed the tablet back to the bodyguard and explained to Mo Qingxin: "Miss Mo, I think there must be some misunderstanding here. First, my girlfriend does not know you. Second, she has no reason to do such a thing to you."
Mo Qingxin glanced at Xia An’an indifferently, then withdrew her gaze to settle on He Rui, "So what you mean is that this video screenshot was deliberately fabricated by me?"
He Rui quickly denied it: "That’s not what I meant, Miss Mo, I just think that this matter is very serious and should be thoroughly investigated first."
Mo Qingxin smiled and said nothing more.
Without giving He Rui another glance, she strode up to Xia An’an.
He Rui also quickly followed, speaking before Mo Qingxin could, "Anan, quickly explain this matter clearly!"
Xia An’an was not foolish; hearing the conversation between the two, she had already grasped the serious implications.
She knew that this wasn’t just a simple mistake of harming the wrong person; this woman, at one glance, was clearly someone of importance...
Her tears started flowing again, and she said aggrievedly: "I... I just wanted to teach them a lesson, I didn’t mean to get the wrong room..."
Right after her words fell, He Rui raised his hand and slapped her: "Nonsense! I really spoiled you too much usually! Apologize to Miss Mo right now!"
