Chapter 73: Abandoned

More than a dozen media reporters were waiting near the City of Maze with their cameras and equipment.

The informant claimed that this was definitely a huge piece of news that could shut down Weibo with the amount of online traffic instantly.

However, they only saw the scene of Liu Shiying bringing her assistant and bodyguards downstairs by herself.

Liu Shiying walked in the front with a calm expression like she had nothing to hide. Her gait was as arrogant as ever as she walked past the group of paparazzi coolly and indifferently.

It was like she didn’t have a guilty conscience!

The reporters began to doubt the accuracy of the tip-off…

After Liu Shiying left, the reporters on the scene split into two groups. One group stayed behind to guard the exits, while the other followed the car.

Just as the reporters staying behind in the hotel were feeling restless, the exclusive elevator from the presidential suites finally moved.

However, the moment the door opened, all that appeared was an ordinary-looking cleaning auntie—who was even a little on the ugly side—and a dark-skinned bell boy.

Since Liu Shiying and her people had checked out, it made a lot of sense for them to clean up after them.

Song Wei’s face did not give them any desire to investigate their presence either. It was not news material, so everyone looked disappointed again.

The ‘cleaning auntie’ pushed the cart along with the ‘waiter’ as they slipped into the staff-only passageway.

Meanwhile, the fast-asleep Ye Xingchen sprawled on the pile of bedsheets in the trolley.

After making sure that there were no paparazzi around, Song Wei finally heaved a sigh of relief. She carried Ye Xingchen in her arms and gave Jin Wenxi a look. “Hurry up, let’s leave through the back door so that we don’t cause any trouble with undue delay.”

Jin Wenxi quickly caught up with her. “Will there still be reporters at the back door?”

Song Wei said, “There probably aren’t many people left. Our image won’t attract attention.”

“You won’t, but I have such an outstanding appearance… What if I get targeted by the reporters later?”

“There’s no need for a little fool like you to worry.”

Jin Wenxi felt like he had been stabbed…

Song Wei and Jin Wenxi resumed their normal appearance and rushed to the hospital to meet Liu Shiying’s people with Ye Xingchen, who had almost fainted from the fever.

On the way, Jin Wenxi asked her with the slightest trace of curiosity and tentativeness, “Xiaocao, are you that kind of big shot who is pretending to be an ordinary person to experience life?”

Song Wei’s expression changed slightly after Jin Wenxi’s question, but she still composed herself. “Don’t make up a story for me. If I were a big shot, I would definitely throw money at Liu Shiying to sign the contract.”

“Then, how do you explain that we were taken to the top floor of the presidential suite and that the tabloid reporters arrived so promptly?”

When Song Wei heard that, the area between her brows creased. “I’m also curious about this matter…”

What a coincidence.

Furthermore, for that mysterious person to casually bribe an attendant to bring them to the presidential suite… Clearly, he had a powerful background.

However, Song Wei couldn’t figure out who it was at the moment. She couldn’t even determine if the other party had been aiming for her or Liu Shiying.

When Song Wei was deep in thought, the car had already stopped in front of a private hospital entrance in the suburbs.

Liu Shiying’s assistant was already waiting here.

As soon as Song Wei arrived, the assistant rushed over and anxiously carried Ye Xingchen into her arms. “You’ve worked hard.”

Song Wei cut to the chase. “It’s not hard. Miss Liu promised me that she would sign a contract with me as long as I brought Ye Xingchen out. I hope she won’t go back on her words.”

The assistant said, “Don’t worry. Sister Ying is already looking at your designs. I can tell that she probably likes them.”

Song Wei pressed on. “The contract…”

The assistant said, “Don’t be anxious. Our legal team still has to look through the contract. As for the specific conditions, we need to discuss them again. It’s getting late. You guys can go back first. Sister Ying will look for you guys tomorrow.”

Of course, Song Wei also knew that it was impossible to sign the contract right away. However, since Liu Shiying could say that she would sign, it basically meant that this matter was a done deal.

From Liu Shiying’s character, there was no such thing as going back on her word.

Jin Wenxi turned around and looked at Song Wei. “Does this mean that you’ll leave after signing the contract tomorrow?”

Song Wei stretched her body. “Yes, I’ll book the plane tickets when I get back.”

“Wow, are you really not going to care about me anymore?”

“I’ll help you find an assistant to take over my duties tomorrow. I’ll take a taxi back. You don’t have to send me.” Song Wei waved at him and left without any reluctance.

She fully portrayed the act of kicking someone to the curb after they had outlived their usefulness.

No one would believe that the extremely popular Jin Wenxi had been heartlessly abandoned in front of an ugly girl that everyone hated.

Jin Wenxi watched Song Wei leave gracefully and frowned.

This woman should be hiding a lot of secrets.
