Lin He raised her head in disbelief. “Do 1 even need to say it? Of course, I don’t want to! I’m a person, not an object. Why should Zhou Nan make me accompany anyone? I don’t have to obey his orders!”
“Very well, then continue answering my previous question. If Zhou Nan insists on making you do this, what will you do?” Mei Shu stared at her unwaveringly.
Lin He nervously swallowed a mouthful of saliva.
What would she do?
Mei Shu’s question kept circling in her mind.
Lin He looked at the gravel on the ground in a daze, feeling that she was as small as them, but not living as freely and comfortably as them.
After a long period of contemplation, Lin He finally found her voice. “I will try to persuade him not to do that. After all, 1 am his legal wife. How can 1 have relations with other men?”
Mei Shu probably guessed her answer and didn’t seem too disappointed. Nevertheless, the smile on her face disappeared completely.
“Alright, then let me take you somewhere,” she said and, without waiting for Lin He’s response, grabbed her hand and hailed a taxi. “Driver, go to Longcheng Hotel.”
“Why are we going there?” Lin He asked in a hurry. In her haste, she applied a little too much pressure with her hand, accidentally scratching a wound on Mei Shu’s hand.
When the blood seeped under her nails, she realized her mistake and held Mei Shu’s hand apologetically, saying, “I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to do that! Does it hurt?”
“It doesn’t hurt.” Mei Shu withdrew her hand, her expression indifferent. She no longer displayed the gentleness she had shown when rescuing Lin He in the private room.
Yes, gentleness.
After a thorough search of her thoughts, Lin He finally found the word that best described Mei Shu’s expression at that moment.
However, it felt extremely strange to use such a word to describe Mei Shu’s demeanor back then.
It was hard to imagine a girl who wasn’t even an adult yet, who had just knocked a man unconscious with a bottle, could exhibit such a calm and casual expression.
It was as if she were a demon.
Lin He was startled by the term she had come up with and quickly dispelled the chaotic thoughts from her mind.
Mei Shu was doing all of this to help her!
How could she start thinking that Mei Shu was terrifying?
With these thoughts swirling in her mind, they arrived at the hotel entrance. During the entire ride, neither of them had said a word.
Mei Shu paid the driver and got out of the car.
She still looked emotionless.
Lin He felt somewhat uneasy and cautiously approached Mei Shu. “I’m sorry, Shu’er, were you angry just now?”
“I wasn’t.” Mei Shu turned her head and smiled at Lin He, her smile inscrutable.
But Lin He couldn’t help but feel that Mei Shu was genuinely angry.
She was about to explain herself when Mei Shu had already entered the hotel without a word.
Taking Lin He with her, Mei Shu expertly passed through the front desk, entered the elevator, and swiped a card, taking them to the sixth floor.
“What are we doing here?” Lin He followed Mei Shu, bewildered.
She had refrained from speaking during the entire journey.
The hotel was luxurious to the point of almost blinding her eyes, and the people coming and going were all dressed extravagantly. This was clearly a high-end place, and she was worried that Mei Shu had brought her here for her safety, intending to temporarily place her here.
After pondering for a while, she finally reached out to Mei Shu. “Sister, 1 can’t afford to stay here. 1 understand your good intentions, so you don’t have to worry about me so much.”
“Who said I was letting you stay here?” Mei Shu coldly glanced at her, causing Lin He to halt her words.
Lin He was momentarily puzzled but then considered another possibility. “Are you trying to introduce me to a job that can support me? But 1 don’t know how to do anything, and this place looks like somewhere only important people would come. I’m afraid I won’t be able to do it well.”
Lin He had been self-deprecating and uncertain the whole time.
Mei Shu could see her struggle and a trace of coldness appeared on her face. “You’ve misunderstood.”
Mei Shu’s icy tone silenced Lin He immediately.
Facing her surprised gaze, Mei Shu turned around and continued walking.
The two of them walked to the end of the corridor, and suddenly, a woman’s moaning sounds came from inside, making Lin He blush.
Lin He lowered her head shyly. “Shu’er, you’re still underage. How can you bring me to eavesdrop on others here? Let’s hurry and leave before someone finds us and kicks us out.”
“No rush. Listen some more,” Mei Shu said emotionlessly, crossing her arms and leaning against the wall with her eyes closed. She seemed completely unaffected by the sounds inside.
However, Lin He felt embarrassed and frustrated. She was about to pull Mei Shu and leave when a familiar male voice suddenly rang out from inside.
“Darling, your skills are impressive. Unlike my wife at home, she’s like a dead pig every time she’s in bed with me, never moving. It leaves me with no interest at all.”
“You’re saying this about your wife. Aren’t you afraid she’ll get angry if she finds out?” The woman playfully teased, followed by a flirtatious cry. It was evident that things inside were quite intense.
The man continued, panting, “She won’t find out. I’ve given her to Mr. Wang. After she accompanies Mr. Wang, there’s a line of men waiting for her. She’ll be responsible for making money, and I can go to a hotel with you.. How about that?”
