At 1 a.m., the last nightclub in Gangcheng closed. Zhao Meihua sent people to look for her son and Su Qi, but received no information whatsoever.

Zhao Meihua was pacing anxiously: "Aunt Wu, tell me, where can these two children go? It's okay if Xiao Qi goes out, but the important thing is that nothing can happen to my son!"

Aunt Wu paused for a moment, then said, "It's all my fault for not keeping a close eye on him. The young master was called away by Miss. I saw him make a phone call this afternoon, and then he went out with his tuxedo."

"Hey, why didn't you say so earlier?"

Wu Xiao'e also said, "Madam, the young lady is quite restless. She doesn't come home all night. It's hard not to suspect something..."

This statement alerted Zhao Meihua.

"Quickly, call the police!"

On the 18th floor of the Maple Leaf Hotel, Su Qi collapsed in her room. She hadn't been drinking, but she suddenly felt dizzy.

Lynn asked, "Are you going to rest here?"

Su Qi nodded in confusion. Lin En knew that her brother had booked the room for her, so she didn't ask any further questions.

"Okay, you get some rest. Come to the company tomorrow morning, and I'll post the video of you attending the ceremony. The blog needs some activity."

After an unknown amount of time, an unfamiliar male voice sounded outside the door, and it seemed to be Shen Chaohuai's voice as well.

"I've already taken care of the ceremony video you invested in."

The man asked sternly, "Why did you cut off the part at the back?"

"Don't worry about it."

“This is an award I invested in. Don’t think that just because you also invested some money, you can do whatever you want. Not to mention the Silver Lantern Award, the entire hotel belongs to the Zheng family.”

Shen Chaohuai patted him and comforted him, "I know, you should go quickly, I need to rest."

The man sighed softly: "We are friends."

Shen Chaohuai gave a nonchalant snort: "I know."

"You don't even have this much trust?"

Shen Chaohuai did not reply to the man's words.

The man glanced at Su Qi's door, and seeing that Shen Chaohuai still hadn't left, he finally had no choice but to leave.

The conversation outside the door stopped, and the footsteps faded into the distance. Su Qi went to open the door, only to find the corridor empty.

She went back to sleep.

This morning, Su Qi was awakened by the sound of a door opening.

She got up and saw that it was Shen Chaohuai.

"How...how did you get in?" Su Qi was taken aback.

Shen Chaohuai paused for a moment: "I have the room key, so don't worry about that. Just go home."

"Why?" Su Qi asked, puzzled by his anxious expression.

His Adam's apple bobbed slightly: "Someone put a drug on your seat last night."

"what?"

Su Qi suddenly recalled feeling dizzy last night, and then hearing Shen Chaohuai talking to someone.

"You've been guarding the door all night?"

"Mm." Shen Chaohuai nodded.

Su Qi was putting on her coat and was about to go out when a group of servants suddenly came up and surrounded the room.

"I've found them. Mrs. Shen, the young master and Miss Yang are both there."

Zhao Meihua walked over angrily, looking at the two people in the room. The saleswoman also presented her with the room booking record.

The air inside the Shen family villa was eerily quiet.

Su Qi and Shen Chaohuai stood in front of Zhao Meihua. Zhao Meihua composed herself and asked, "Tell me, what happened?"

"You didn't come home all night, so you took my son to a hotel?"

"I should have known that you'd grown up and learned how to seduce my son."

Shen Chaohuai said, "Don't try to link everything to who she seduced. You saw it yourself, I was the one who booked the room."

Su Qi smiled with a smirk: "Yes, that means Young Master Shen seduced me."

Shen Chaohuai was taken aback.

Zhao Meihua slapped her thigh in anger: "Xiao Huai! You're my son, how can you speak up for outsiders?"

"Luckily, I didn't call the police this morning, but instead sent a servant to arrest them. Otherwise, if this had gone online, our Shen family would be finished!"

"You're going to be the young master of the main family, and you're having an ambiguous relationship with your adopted daughter. If word gets out, what will become of the Shen family's reputation?"

Su Qi sneered, saying that all he cared about was his reputation.

"You're laughing?!" Zhao Meihua stepped forward: "I'll tear your mouth apart! Don't even think about what you can't have. Xiao Huai is going to marry a high-ranking official's daughter in a political marriage. What are you? You're not even worthy to be a concubine!"

She didn't understand what a concubine was, but she knew that Zhao Meihua was humiliating her.

"Ha, if you're so worried about me seducing your son, you can terminate the adoption."

"you--"

Su Qi crossed his arms: "I know you wouldn't dare, because if the adoption is terminated, the whole of Hong Kong will know that the Shen family has broken their promise."

Zhao Meihua was struck by what he said, and sat down to pat her chest to calm herself down: "I'm so angry."

“Xiao Qi, I’m doing this for your own good. Look at you, you smell of smoke and alcohol. It’s not good for a girl’s reputation if she doesn’t come home late at night.”

Su Qi didn't care: "Oh, thank you for your concern, but my reputation is already ruined."

Zhao Meihua was speechless. Faced with someone who had given up on everything, she couldn't use any brainwashing techniques.

Zhao Meihua had no choice but to resort to family discipline: "Aunt Wu! Clean up the east room and confine her for a few months. I want her to repent and start anew!"

"Anyway, you haven't had any announcements lately. Tianhai is a company your father invested in. Once your father informs you, you'll be grounded for three months!"

"You do nothing but fool around all day! In the meantime, I'll send someone to help you quit smoking and drinking, and teach you a lesson about your temper!"

Shen Chaohuai could no longer bear it: "Mom, this is too much. Xiaoqi went to an awards ceremony last night."

Zhao Meihua was shocked when she heard this: "An award? Ha, with her abilities, she can win an award?"

Shen Chaohuai took out his phone to show Zhao Meihua a video of the awards ceremony. Zhao Meihua smiled and said, "Oh, you really went to the ceremony?"

"Tell me, what award did you win?"

Zhao Meihua suddenly looked at Su Qi with a beaming smile, her quick change of expression catching Su Qi completely off guard.

“If you really win the award, I won’t lock you up anymore. I’ll talk to your dad and have him give you a good reward when he comes back.”

Shen Chaohuai listened intently to what Zhao Meihua was saying.

"So, if Xiao Qi wins an award, it won't affect her?"

Zhao Meihua paused, then said, "Yes, when have I ever lied?"

For her son's sake, Zhao Meihua's attitude towards Su Qi inexplicably improved.

Zhao Meihua frantically searched for her phone: "This really makes the Shen family proud."

Su Qi shook her head: "I did go to the awards ceremony, but..."

Shen Chaohuai gave her a look, signaling her not to say anything rash.

To everyone's surprise, Su Qi said nonchalantly, "It's a pity I didn't win an award, I was scolded by my colleagues, and I even slept in a hotel. When I woke up, I saw Shen Chaohuai standing next to me, but we were both dressed. What could we possibly seduce?"

"I'm so sorry, I've embarrassed the Shen family again."

Zhao Meihua finally lost her cheerful expression, and her smile gradually turned into a fierce one.

Shen Chaohuai covered her eyes, on the verge of tears, she should have known that the words she spoke would be unpleasant.

The next second, Su Qi was kicked into the east room and locked up.

[System 909, starting up...]

【start up……】

Feifei turned into a puddle of water and slipped in through the crack in the door.

[Oh no, how is the owner going to go out for a walk?]

Su Qi thought of something: "This is kind of interesting. Can you also turn me into a puddle of water? That way I can come and go as I please without fear of being locked up."
