The Rich Man's Life Begins with a Comeback

Chapter 29 "Lipstick"

Fifteen minutes later, Gu Heng's Maybach GLS600 came to a smooth stop in the parking lot of the Wanda Vista Hotel.

"Mr. Gu, we've arrived at the hotel."

Xia Siyao turned her head and whispered to Gu Heng.

"Ok."

Gu Heng nodded, reached out and opened the car door, then got out.

He then went to the back of the car, opened the trunk, and took out the summer outfits and shopping bags he had bought at the LV store that evening. He left the Armani and Burberry shopping bags untouched.

Sitting in the driver's seat, Xia Siyao slowly put on her high heels while her mind wandered.

'OK?'

What does "okay" mean?

Xia Siyao looked at the imposing hotel entrance in front of her, feeling somewhat uneasy.

"boom……"

As the trunk closed again, Xia Siyao didn't have time to think about anything else and quickly got out of the car.

"Mr. Gu, I'll carry it."

When Xia Siyao saw that Gu Heng was carrying things in both hands, she immediately stepped forward and took the shopping bags from Gu Heng's hands.

"Thank you."

Seeing this, Gu Heng did not refuse.

After all, he paid money, with an annual service fee of up to 2500 million yuan, and a daily wage of nearly 8 yuan.

So, it doesn't seem like a big deal to have the eldest daughter of Juncheng Law Firm drive me around and carry my bags.

And so, Gu Heng walked in front, and Xia Siyao followed behind carrying shopping bags, the two of them entering the hotel one after the other.

"Hello, are there any executive suites available?"

Gu Heng went to the front desk in the lobby and asked the girl at the front desk.

"Yes, sir."

When the receptionist saw that Gu Heng and Xia Siyao were dressed smartly and clearly not ordinary people, she quickly and politely replied.

"Give me an executive suite."

"I want to stay for an extended period, please grant me 15 days' leave first."

Gu Heng did not choose the more luxurious ministerial suite or presidential suite. The nearly 100-square-meter executive suite was enough for him, and there was no need to waste money on it.

"Ok."

"Sir/Madam, please show your identification documents."

When the receptionist saw that Gu Heng was starting with a 15-day executive suite, her attitude immediately became much more respectful.

Standing next to Gu Heng, Xia Siyao heard the receptionist ask for her ID card. A hint of panic flashed in her eyes, and two faint blushes appeared on her small, fair face. She also looked a little embarrassed.

"Why do you need her ID card?"

Gu Heng looked at the girl on the stage with some confusion and handed her his ID card: "She doesn't live with me."

"what……"

"Excuse me, I thought you were..."

Upon hearing this, the receptionist realized she had misunderstood the relationship between the two and apologized to them.

"fine."

Gu Heng shook his head, while Xia Siyao breathed a sigh of relief.

……

"Brother, I'm so sleepy, I really want to go to sleep~"

"Sweetie, let's go back to sleep now~"

Just as Gu Heng and Xia Siyao were checking in at the front desk, a man and a woman walked in from outside the hotel. They were both unsteady on their feet and clearly half-drunk.

"Ok?"

Suddenly, the young man stopped in his tracks.

"Fuck!"

"Is that Xia Siyao?"

Zhang Ming stared at the woman in red at the front desk, his eyes widening slightly, and he couldn't help but gasp softly.

"Brother, who is Xia Siyao?"

The girl in Zhang Ming's arms saw Zhang Ming staring intently at another woman and immediately started to act coquettishly out of jealousy.

"Don't make a sound!"

Zhang Ming gave the other person a slight glare, then quietly took out his phone and took a picture of where Xia Siyao and Gu Heng were.

Meanwhile, Gu Heng and Xia Siyao, having completed their check-in at the hotel reception, turned and headed towards the elevator.

Seeing this, Zhang Ming immediately and quietly took two more photos with his phone.

Then, he opened WeChat, found the person whose WeChat contact was "Brother Ang," and sent out all the photos he had just taken.

"elder brother!"

"This is the woman you've been longing for and can't let go of!"

"Judging from the look of it, others have already put them in!"

……

Cloud-shaped Sky Restaurant & Bar.

Lu Zi'ang sat in a booth by the window, surrounded by men and women.

They are either classmates or old friends.

"Come on, come on!"

"Welcome back to our Ang Ge after studying abroad!"

Everyone frequently raised their glasses, creating a lively atmosphere at the table.

"Thank you everyone!" "Let's get together often and stay in touch!"

Lu Ziang raised his hand to push up his silver-rimmed glasses, picked up his wine glass and smiled in response. His demeanor was very elegant, with a touch of British gentlemanly charm, which made the girl in front of him look at him with admiration.

Accompanied by melodious jazz music and the clinking of glasses, coupled with the stunning night view of Beichun outside the glass curtain wall, it truly felt somewhat decadent and extravagant.

"Ding--!"

Lu Ziang slowly put down his wine glass. He looked at his phone, which was sending a series of message notifications, frowned slightly, and then opened his phone.

The next second, his smiling face turned extremely gloomy, and his right hand holding the phone suddenly clenched tightly, so tightly that the veins on his arm bulged.

Although most of these photos show the back of the subject, there are almost no front-facing shots.

However, since they were childhood sweethearts, and he had just seen Xia Siyao at the airport, even if it was just her back, he was certain that it was Xia Siyao.

Working overtime?

Did you go to a hotel to work overtime with another man?

Lu Ziang took a deep breath, and without any hesitation, dialed Xia Siyao's number.

just in case……

Is it a misunderstanding?

With this thought in mind, Lü Zi'ang dialed Xia Siyao's number.

……

Inside the elevator at Wanda Vista Hotel.

Xia Siyao felt the phone vibrate in her pocket. She first looked at Gu Heng in front of her, and then secretly glanced at the caller ID.

Seeing that the caller ID showed it was Lü Ziang, she didn't think much of it, assuming the other party wanted to ask if she wanted to come to the party, so she hung up the phone temporarily, planning to call back after taking Gu Heng to his room.

However, she didn't expect that for some reason, Lü Ziang would call her back immediately after she hung up on him.

"If you have something to do, just give me the things and go about your business."

Gu Heng turned around, glanced at Xia Siyao with some surprise, and said in a rather gentle tone.

"It's alright, I'll take it to your room."

Xia Siyao hung up the phone again and then silently switched to airplane mode.

She was already furious with her father for being late to the important banquet today, so she dared not make any more mistakes. Otherwise, she had no doubt that her father would kick her out of the law firm.

"alright."

Upon hearing this, Gu Heng didn't say anything more.

Stepping out of the elevator, Gu Heng took his room key and found his room.

"Xia Lu, you've worked hard."

"Go back and rest early."

Gu Heng opened the door, took the shopping bag from Xia Siyao's hand, and politely thanked her.

"It's not hard, it should be."

Xia Siyao waved her hand: "Mr. Gu, if you need anything in the future, please feel free to contact me."

"Ok."

Gu Heng nodded, and after a few more pleasantries, Gu Heng closed the door.

Seeing this, Xia Siyao couldn't help but breathe a slight sigh of relief.

Although Gu Heng is younger than her, he is now the biggest client in the entire Juncheng Law Firm, and having him by her side really puts a lot of pressure on her.

As Xia Siyao walked back, she took out her phone to call Lü Ziang.

……

"The number you dialed is temporarily unavailable. Please try again later..."

Inside the Cloud Pavilion Sky Bar, Lu Zi'ang listened to the voice coming from the phone, his face ashen, and he even had images in his mind.

The thought that Xia Siyao's pink lips were still covered with the lipstick he had given her made him completely lose his guard.

Damn it!
You're using the lipstick I gave you, and then giving it to someone else, right?
You pretend to be innocent and conservative in front of others, but then let others kick you while you're down behind your back!

Looking at his reflection in the glass curtain wall, Lü Ziang felt as if he were a great victim of injustice.

"call……"

Lu Ziang took a deep breath, thinking of Xia Siyao's family background and his own family's current situation, and tried to calm himself down.

"Buzz..."

However, at that moment, Xia Siyao, who had just been unable to reach him by phone, suddenly called him back.

Lu Ziang subconsciously reached out to grab his phone, but the moment his fingers touched it, he pulled his hand back.

'Knock on his mother...'

'That bastard isn't planning to rape me, is he?'

Once this thought popped into Lü Zi'ang's mind, it spread like wildfire.

Because during his studies in the UK, he loved doing this kind of thing.

He felt incredibly satisfied calling his boyfriend, who was far away in another country, across the ocean, and listening to his hysterical yet helpless rant.

'Cannot answer...'

'Absolutely not...'

'I absolutely cannot let myself become a part of that despicable couple's game!'

With red eyes, Lü Zi'ang's composure, which he had just managed to regain, crumbled instantly.

……

Xia Siyao, who was standing far away outside the hotel, frowned as she looked at Lü Ziang, who was not answering his phone. She was trying to figure out what was going on.

'never mind……'

'You'd better hurry home and apologize to your father.'

Xia Siyao muttered something to herself, then quickly walked to the side of the street, hailed a taxi, and headed home...
