Bai Mo tremblingly withdrew the hand he had intended to use to knock.
He looked at the door in front of him in disbelief, as if he could see through it to how wanton Qin Shiya was behaving just a door away.
At this moment, Bai Mo’s heart was burning with rage; he desperately wanted to rush in right now and tear Su Yu apart with his own hands.
Having grown up with Qin Shiya since childhood, Bai Mo was certain that Su Yu must have forced her into all of this.
In his memory, Qin Shiya was a very charming woman.
Not only had she taken on most of the work at the Orphanage since she was young, but she would also use all the money she earned from her part-time jobs to buy him new toys and stationery whenever he felt envious of other children.
How could such a kind and confident person say the things she just said!
Getting angrier the more he thought about it, Bai Mo raised his hand, about to pound on the door.
However, his hand stopped right in front of the door.
Even if he interrupted them now, what could he possibly say?
He had just broken up with Qin Shiya, and the million yuan she gave him was already no longer a complete sum.
With his current status, did he really have the right to stop Qin Shiya?
Ultimately, Bai Mo did not knock.
Instead, he turned and left the place with a pained and difficult expression.
Taking the elevator back down to the hotel lobby, Bai Mo ran outside without stopping for a single moment.
Right now, he only wanted to find a corner where no one cared and have a good cry.
Bai Mo didn’t pay any attention to his surroundings while running; even when he bumped into someone, he didn’t stop at all.
Li Muran, whose shoulder had been bumped, rubbed her shoulder and looked with an unfriendly expression at the retreating figure who hadn’t even paused after hitting her.
Just as she was about to call out and stop him, she saw a few traces of tears dripping onto the ground from that retreating figure.
Li Muran’s outstretched hand froze for a split second, then slowly lowered.
“Seeing how pitiful you are, this young lady won’t hold it against you this time.”
Li Muran could guess the general situation from the man’s behavior.
His girlfriend must have betrayed him, and he had found his way here somehow, only to be mocked to his face by the adulterous pair even after exposing them.
In the end, unable to withstand such a heavy blow, he had rushed out recklessly.
“Eldest Miss, why are you here?”
As soon as Li Muran had walked into the hotel, the front desk had already gone to inform the hotel’s General Manager.
Li Muran’s father, Li Zhihao, had started out as a street thug.
With his daring and aggressive personality, he had managed to make a real name for himself.
However, the good times didn’t last, as the authorities suddenly announced a nationwide crackdown on organized crime.
Left with no choice, Li Zhihao had to abandon his shady industries and open some borderline hotels and card rooms instead.
As the business grew larger, the Li Family became incredibly powerful, eventually dipping their toes into almost every type of industry.
And this Themed Hotel was precisely a property under the Li Family.
For any property belonging to the Li Family, Li Zhihao had one ironclad rule.
That was to ensure everyone working under him knew what his daughter looked like.
He didn’t want his daughter to be bullied at his own properties, and at the same time, this was his way of paving the road for Li Muran to take over the Li Family.
Li Zhihao was certain his subordinates would be loyal to him, but if he were ever targeted for revenge one day, his daughter would need a way to command respect.
As Li Zhihao’s business grew, he also came to realize that true upper-class people didn’t just rely on being daring and aggressive; they also had to use their brains.
“Alright, it’s none of your business. I’m just here to wait for someone.”
Saying that, Li Muran actually sat down on a sofa in the lobby.
Seeing this, the General Manager didn’t dare ask any more questions.
After having someone bring over the best pastries, he tactfully withdrew.
Two and a half hours later, a refreshed man stepped out of the elevator.
The man had a handsome, sharp face and a tall, fit physique, with an irrepressible expression of joy on his face.
The man was Su Yu.
He had known all along that Bai Mo would follow them, and the words he spoke at the door were intentionally for Bai Mo to hear.
Everything was entirely within Su Yu’s control, except for the person who suddenly appeared before him, who was not part of his plan.
“Oh, it looks like our Young Master Su had quite a lot of fun just now.”
Hearing this, Su Yu frowned slightly.
The woman before him had a waterfall of black hair draped behind her, and her black outfit further emphasized her figure and temperament.
Those phoenix eyes made one afraid to meet her gaze, and combined with that cold expression, it made one almost want to be trampled and ravaged under her feet.
“Li Muran?”
Su Yu recognized the woman in front of him at a glance, but he didn’t understand why she would appear here now.
In his memories of his past life, this woman hadn’t appeared at all before his death, yet here she was, standing right in front of him.
“I didn’t expect Young Master Su to still remember me. In that case, do you know that I am currently your fiancée? Do you think it’s appropriate to come to a place like this behind your fiancée’s back?”
Li Muran originally hadn’t intended to pay any attention to this fiancé her unreliable old man had arranged for her.
However, once she learned that her fiancé had checked into a room at her family’s hotel with a woman, she had rushed over immediately.
Make no mistake, she hadn’t come to catch him in the act out of jealousy, but rather wanted to use this incident to dissolve the marriage.
But after hearing Li Muran say he was her fiancé, Su Yu was even more bewildered.
In his memory, Li Muran had absolutely no connection to him.
Forget about a connection; the two of them hadn’t even met once.
Su Yu understood that his own changes might trigger some small butterfly effects.
But wasn’t this butterfly effect a bit too massive?
Su Yu pulled out his phone and dialed a contact labeled ‘Mom’.
“My dear son, what made you think of calling me?”
A pleasant voice came from the phone, the woman’s tone filled with doting affection.
“Mom, did you and the Li Family arrange an engagement between me and Li Muran?”
Su Yu didn’t waste any time and asked directly.
“Xiaoyu, how did you know? Oh~ did you meet that Li family girl? Well, isn’t your mother’s taste excellent?”
The woman’s voice was first confused, then filled with pride.
However, upon hearing this, Su Yu’s expression became even more complex.
In his memory, the Su Family indeed had thoughts about an alliance with the Li Family, but the Li Family had not agreed to it.
So why had they agreed now?
In Su Yu’s estimation, the plotlines from his past life shouldn’t have seen major changes until at least the mid-game.
He just hadn’t expected that on the very second day of him changing the plot, a significant shift would occur.
This Li Muran was the Third Female Lead who was only supposed to appear in the later stages, and by the time she was supposed to appear, he would have already kicked the bucket.
In pursuit of the male lead, she would hand over projects, resources, and even give money directly to Bai Mo.
Because of this, Lin Wanqing had felt threatened, which led her to recognize her own feelings for Bai Mo.
After that, the three of them began a drama of frantic emotional tug-of-war.
However, to illustrate the ‘angst for angst’s sake’ love between the male and female leads, both of those women would ultimately end up as nothing more than two losers.
