Chapter 823: Chapter 823: Must Thoroughly Investigate if Li Shengxiao Has a Woman
In suite 003 of the Dihor Hotel, a sultry woman had just finished her bath and stepped out of the bathroom.
Her wet hair clung to her neck, tracing the enticing lines from her jawline to her throat. She was neither tall nor short, about 165 cm. The bathrobe hung loosely on her, vaguely revealing her well-contoured figure beneath. Individually, her features were not striking, but together they formed a strikingly beautiful impression. Such a woman would be considered a great beauty in any crowd!
At this moment, the beauty emerging from her bath was even more captivating.
Chu Xi casually tied up her hair, revealing her slender swan neck, and walked into the living room, casually turning on the remote control.
A phone call came through immediately.
“How is it, have you seen him yet?”
If Li Shengxiao were here, he could certainly tell that the female voice was Madame Chu’s, who had called him about picking someone up at the airport.
Chu Xi sat down on the sofa, swept the stray hairs beside her face behind her ear, leaned on the sofa at an angle, and lazily draped her arm over the armrest before speaking in a languid voice, “No. My flight was delayed, and Li Shengxiao didn’t show up in the evening. It was a friend of his who picked me up and brought me to the hotel.”
Her voice was lazy, yet when she spoke, it carried a coquettish murmur, “I was actually looking forward to meeting him, but it ended up being a no-show. This man really doesn’t know how to handle romance~sigh~”
“He didn’t come to pick you up?” Madame Chu’s tone suddenly turned cold, carrying a chill, “It seems that the rumors out there are true, that he really has another woman. Ha, the Lin Family treats our Chu Family as what? One by one they play this game, thinking our Chu family daughters are their backups?! They dare seek others and then come to call off the engagement!”
Chu Xi’s ears weren’t deaf; she could detect the anger in her tone. She leaned back against the sofa and soothed, “It’s still not certain whether the rumors out there are true or what his attitude towards that woman really is. People outside always like to distort the truth. Maybe Li Shengxiao isn’t as obsessed with that woman as rumored. I’ll meet him tomorrow and infiltrate his circle to find out more.”
Madame Chu’s anger abated slightly, “You must investigate thoroughly. If he is keeping another woman outside, you must let me know, understand?”
“Yes,” Chu Xi obediently agreed.
The person on the other end wasn’t dwelling on the issue anymore, and after a pause, she asked her, “Are you getting used to Capital City? If you find anything uncomfortable, remember to call your Mr. Lu. He will arrange it for you. Don’t suffer in silence.”
“I know. Mr. Lu is also busy, I won’t bother him for now,” Chu Xi said, her voice full of playful charm as she chuckled.
Madame Chu seemed to quite like her playful tone, laughing as she said, “I’ll just let you know; you decide for yourself. Anyway, don’t suffer silently, if you need anything, tell Mr. Lu. I’ve already informed him, and he’ll take care of you.”
The two chatted a bit more about other matters before Chu Xi finally hung up.
After hanging up, she turned her head to undo her damp hair, letting it fall carelessly over her shoulders. She got up, changed into pajamas, took out her laptop from her luggage, sat cross-legged on the bed, and placed the laptop on her lap.
In the dimly lit room, the pale white light of the laptop screen was particularly striking. On closer inspection, the search terms on her computer prominently displayed the name “Rong Yan”!
“Rong, Yan.” Chu Xi browsed through the news search results on her computer, the interest flashing in her eyes as she repeated the name on her lips. She picked up her phone and made a call, “Arrange it for me, tomorrow…”
