Chapter 68
Tan Xi Yuan booked a standard room for Li Man. Originally, she wanted to book it for two nights, but Li Man insisted on just one night.
When Li Man saw the room fee of 1,500 yuan, she felt distressed. That amount of money would be enough for her to eat for a month.
After completing the check-in process, the two of them headed towards the direction of the elevator.
As they approached the elevator, the doors opened.
Li Man was surprised to see someone inside the elevator. "Mr. Huo, what are you doing here?" she asked.
After asking the question, Li Man immediately regretted it because she noticed the beautiful woman standing next to Huo Jiansheng.
Her expression turned awkward.
Huo Jiansheng saw Li Man's awkwardness and a faint smile appeared on his lips. "I came with a friend to find someone," he said.
Li Man saw the beautiful woman next to Huo Jiansheng give her a disdainful look, making her feel even more awkward. After uttering an "um," she grabbed Tan Xi Yuan's hand and entered the elevator.
Huo Jiansheng glanced at Tan Xi Yuan next to Li Man, a mysterious smile playing on his lips. He didn't say much and left the elevator with the beautiful woman.
The elevator doors slowly closed.
"Phew," Li Man sighed. "That was so awkward, running into a colleague with a woman in a hotel room."
"That guy just now is your colleague? He's quite handsome, but that woman isn't his wife, is she?" Tan Xi Yuan asked.
Tan Xi Yuan kicked off her shoes, climbed onto the bed, and said, "I'm not going back. I'll stay with you tonight."
Li Man smiled and said, "That's great!"
Li Man quickly placed the order and also ordered a dozen bottles of beer.
While waiting for the delivery, Li Man took a shower in the bathroom.
After finishing her shower, the food arrived. The two of them ate together and chatted, feeling like they were back in their college days.
Just as Li Man and Tan Xi Yuan were enjoying their conversation, their phones suddenly rang.
They instinctively picked up their phones.
"It's my phone," Li Man said, shaking the phone in her hand. She looked at the screen and saw an unfamiliar number.
She hesitated for a moment and answered the call.
"Man Jie, it's me, Xiao Xiao," came Xiao Xiao's voice from the other end of the line.
Xiao Xiao wasn't surprised when she received a call from her. A few days ago, she had checked Huang De Han's dashcam footage and discovered that he was actually involved with Xiao Xiao.
She didn't know why Xiao Xiao got involved with Huang De Han, but she didn't want to ask too much because even if she didn't have Xiao Xiao, there would be other women.
San Er had passed away, and Huang De Han couldn't possibly have a change of heart and return to the family. He would only find another woman to replace San Er's position.
