The eldest daughter is committing suicide, and the marriage partner comes to redeem her

[Breaking news! A high-end hotel in Hecheng caught fire unexpectedly. Ambulance arrived at the scene, but the current situation is unclear. ]

A huge title catches my eye.

The black Bentley sped along the road in Hecheng, its tires creating a splash of water. The drizzle outside the car window had begun to fall at some point, hitting the car window diagonally and leaving long traces.

Pei Zigui held the phone tightly and dialed again and again, but no one answered.

He cursed and threw the phone aside.

"Have you contacted the hotel?"

Assistant Mott held the steering wheel nervously, not even daring to tell aloud the news he had heard.

"The hotel said... the fire was caused by the curtains in the spa on the first floor due to improper operation by the staff. The fire department is currently trying to put out the fire."

He glanced at the shaking windshield wipers and lowered his voice: "It's raining now, so the fire should be under control soon."

Pei Zigui clenched his fists tightly, veins popping out on the back of his hands, and the voice from deep in his throat was so cold that it had no temperature: "Then why can't I contact Lili?"

This...how does he know?

I glanced at the rearview mirror quietly. The man's face was so cold that water seemed to be dripping out of it. His dark eyes were expressionless, full of hostility, impatience, and boredom.

There is even... self-blame.

That’s right, Pei Zigui was blaming himself.

If he hadn't sent Jiang Ruoli back to the hotel, he should have kept her by his side. Or he should have arranged for a reliable secretary to follow her wherever she went.

Instead of leaving her alone in the hotel.

I remembered the message Jiang Ruoli sent me not long ago, she said she was getting a massage downstairs. Could it be the spa that caught fire?

His thin lips were tightly pursed, and his tense jaw gave off a cold aura.

Pei Zigui raised his eyes and said calmly, "Go ahead."

Assistant Mott silently stepped on the accelerator and quickly ran through a yellow light.

Fortunately, the hotel was not far from the branch campus, and the tires and the ground made a harsh braking sound when the car stopped suddenly.

(Note: In daily life, please obey traffic rules, do not exceed the speed limit, safety first!)

A cordon had been set up at the entrance of the hotel, and a crowd of people had gathered, making a lot of noise. From what I could see with my naked eyes, the hotel's daily firefighting was quite effective, so the fire did not spread far, and only burned the bottom two floors.

However, the situation on the two burned floors was not optimistic because there were a lot of combustible materials.

The firefighters were holding hoses to put out the fire, and only a faint spark remained. In order to prevent the possibility of hidden fire, they would have to dig it out again in a while.

To prevent any accidents from happening, the hotel was evacuating the guests while prohibiting anyone from entering again.

They stopped Pei Zigui.

"Sir, the hotel is currently closed and you cannot go in for the time being."

The staff member looked up and met a pair of sinister eyes, and couldn't help but shudder.

The man's eyes were stained with scarlet, and his face was full of hostility, but deep in his pupils was a trace of urgency and concern. He waved away the staff's hand and growled, "Get out of the way!"

The staff member staggered.

"Look, the fire is not under control yet, so you really can't go in. If you're looking for someone, there's no one inside, and the injured have been sent to the hospital. Maybe you can go to the hospital... and take a look..."

Meeting the man's gaze, the staff member stuttered and swallowed the second half of his sentence.

Pei Zigui's eyes were red, and his dark complexion was covered with a layer of cold mist. He was like a desperate beast with nowhere to go, trying his best to restrain himself from going crazy.

Looking up at the smoke-filled building, my pupils were filled with incomprehensible pain.

"I said, get out of the way!"

"Boss Pei, I found my wife!!"

At the critical moment, Assistant Mote sprinted a hundred meters from behind and stopped Pei Zigui.

Behind him, there was another set of hurried footsteps.

Pei Zigui turned around suddenly and saw a figure jogging towards him.

He strode forward, pulled the person into his arms, and hugged her tightly. As if it was not enough, he increased his strength, almost kneading the person into his bones and blood.

"Ugh... It's too tight. I can't breathe."

Hearing the woman's soft moan, Pei Zigui seemed to have just woken up from a nightmare. He loosened his hand and suppressed the complicated emotions churning in his heart.

"Why are you outside?"

As soon as he opened his mouth, Jiang Ruoli found that Pei Zigui's voice was extremely hoarse.

"What's wrong with your voice?"

Did I curse too much this afternoon?

Pei Zigui's hand trembled slightly as he gently brushed the woman's ear and rolled up her hair. His dark eyes were like an unfathomable abyss, hiding waves that were difficult to guess.

The man's eyes swept over Jiang Ruoli's body indifferently, and when he saw that she was intact, the coldness in his eyes disappeared by a large margin.

"Why didn't you answer my call?"

Jiang Ruoli still had a half-finished cup of milk tea in his hand. He raised it awkwardly and replied guiltily, "It's out of battery."

During the massage, she heard someone say that there was a handmade milk tea shop near the hotel that was very delicious and only available in Hecheng. She couldn't help herself and refused the ancient moxibustion project recommended by the masseur. She walked out with her phone and room card.

I didn’t expect that the place that others called “nearby” actually had to walk 1.6km! It was too long to walk, but too short to take a taxi.

Following the navigation, he walked to the milk tea shop. There was a long line outside. Jiang Ruoli ordered the milk tea with the last bit of battery. As soon as he paid, the phone screen went black.

The way back was all based on memory.

"I didn't expect to hear someone saying the hotel was on fire halfway through."

Jiang Ruoli patted his chest, feeling both relieved and scared.

"Look, I can't just listen to you and wait for you in the hotel."

Even if she was in the hotel, she would be fine. After all, the fire had not spread to the upper floors.

The unintentional words made Pei Zigui's face darken. He stretched out his long arms and pulled the person back into his arms.

"I'm sorry I almost put you in danger because of me."

He had a blank expression on his face, but the tight curve at the corners of his mouth revealed self-blame, fear, and relief that it was a false alarm.

The little head buried in front of him rubbed against him, as if sensing his insecurity. Jiang Ruoli raised his eyebrows slightly and showed a beautiful smile.

"I'm fine, don't be unhappy."

"Nothing unhappy."

It's just that I'm afraid. I'm afraid that I might accidentally hurt you or even lose you.

"Then smile a little~"

Jiang Ruoli raised his head, held Pei Zigui's cheeks with both hands and rubbed them, with the milk tea still in his hands, touching the man's neck again and again.

Pei Zigui was not angry at all. Instead, he obediently forced a smile, although it was not a big one.

"Okay, let me take you to the new hotel."

Behind him, Assistant Mote had just apologized to the staff: "Sorry, our boss was really worried because he couldn't contact his wife. He didn't mean any harm."

The staff didn't care. After all, compared to those unreasonable people before, Pei Zigui was still polite and didn't take any action.

But the momentum is scary.

"You know what? Your boss loves his wife quite a lot. The one he's holding should be his wife, right?"

Assistant Mote nodded, "You have a good eye."

What else, hug someone else’s wife?

Fortunately, there are many five-star hotels nearby. As soon as he entered the door, Pei Zigui slammed the door shut and pushed Jiang Ruoli against the wall.

He was in a hurry, and couldn't wait even a second. It was as if there was a huge hole in his heart that needed someone to fill it.

And that person can only be Jiang Ruoli.

In a panic, half a cup of milk tea fell from the woman's fingertips, rolled twice on the carpet, and swayed back and forth.

"Hmm... milk tea..."

"Baby, hold me tight."
