"Miss, miss, why are you here? The party is about to end, and everyone is waiting for you." At this time, a maid hurried over to find Wang Xiangxiang, and seeing her in tears, she anxiously asked, "Miss, what happened to you?"
Seeing that the maid had arrived, Wang Xiangxiang, in her panic, quickly stood up and wiped away her tears. "I’m fine."
The maid saw her mistress’s pitiful state and knew she couldn’t meet people , so she quickly said, "Miss, come back to your room with me, I’ll help you tidy up before we go out again."
Knowing her own embarrassing state, Wang Xiangxiang followed the maid back to her room. She had pulled herself together in no time and returned with a smile, bidding each of the departing young masters and ladies farewell. After sending them off, she returned to the front hall.
As soon as she was back in the room, her expression instantly fell, for because of that devil, she felt everything had changed, and her life might now be spent in constant fear.
Li Fuyou had actually demanded that she cancel Yuelai Restaurant’s promotion the following day. She had no such power; she couldn’t contact Chu Lian at all. The only person she knew from Chu Lian’s side was Acheng. Would Acheng help her?
She remembered what Chu Lian had said before he left: if there was an issue, she should seek out Acheng. She had no choice but to try. If it didn’t work out, then it was just her fate, and the whole city would probably know of her disgrace by the next day.
She got up, determined to find Acheng, but before she even left, Acheng had already entered the hall. "Miss Wang."
"Acheng," Wang Xiangxiang called out, as if she had seen her savior, visibly excited.
"Miss Wang, the young master has sent a letter." Acheng handed over the letter to Wang Xiangxiang as he spoke.
Wang Xiangxiang excitedly took the letter from Acheng, her hands trembling. She frantically opened the letter and, as she read the words that Chu Lian had penned stroke by stroke, her tears fell like pearls slipping off a string. He said he missed her, he asked her to wait for him, he mentioned he might return late...
"Acheng, can I reply to the letter?"
Acheng shook his head and said, "I apologize, Miss Wang, but I’m not quite sure of the young master’s specific whereabouts. We can only receive his letters but can’t send a reply."
Unable to send a reply, Wang Xiangxiang felt somewhat disappointed, but she knew he must be dealing with something important. If he chose not to tell, she wouldn’t ask. She would just wait here for his return, and when he came back, they could find a way to deal with that devil together. Right now, she couldn’t let the entire city learn of her disgrace.
So she spoke up, "Acheng, he said before he left that I could turn to you if I needed anything."
"Yes, Miss Wang, whatever you may need, you can ask me to handle it."
"I want to cancel the promotional activities targeted at Dongfeng Restaurant at all the Yuelai Restaurants around the country."
Wang Xiangxiang’s request took Acheng by surprise; he couldn’t understand why she would make such a demand.
"Is it difficult?" Seeing that Acheng did not respond, Wang Xiangxiang inquired.
"No." Acheng agreed because the young master had specifically instructed him before he left to obey whatever Wang Xiangxiang asked. No matter the reason for her request, his first priority was to agree; as for dealing with Dongfeng Restaurant, that could wait until the young master’s return.
Wang Xiangxiang hadn’t expected Acheng to have such authority, but she also breathed a sigh of relief. At least this matter could be staved off for a while. "Can you handle this tonight?"
"Yes, I will take care of it right away. Please rest assured, Miss Wang."
