Tan Rou smiled slyly, “Don’t worry, I added a few sweet herbs. It won’t be bitter.”

Zhuang Liu’s heart softened. He had practically been soaked in a pot of medicine since he was a child. He had long since become numb to it, but Tan Rou was still so considerate. She was afraid that he would find the medicine too bitter. This was the girl that he liked!

While Tan Rou was treating Zhuang Liu’s illness, Tan Jing rushed to the hotel without stopping.

Finally, Tan Jing and Zhou Wu met up with each other and went to the front desk.

Tan Jing pretended to be anxious and sobbed at the girl at the front desk. “Miss, please help me. My friend just saw my sister go upstairs. There is some misunderstanding between us sisters. Please tell me where she is.”

The girl at the front desk was used to dealing with people who came to the hotel to look for their spouse. She also always had to deal with difficult drunkards. Naturally, she would not be moved by Tan Jing’s words.

Therefore, the lady at the front desk replied in a businesslike manner, “I’m sorry, we are unable to divulge any information.”

Tan Jing was not willing to give up. “My friend saw her enter the VIP elevator. You don’t know that my sister doesn’t have any money at all. She was obviously tricked by a bad man. If something happens to her, can you bear the responsibility?”

The front desk attendant and the bellboys standing at the side were speechless. ‘This lady, are you trying to imply that our boss is a bad person in our hotel?’ However, Third Young Master had specifically instructed them to keep it a secret, so they couldn’t say anything more.

The receptionist’s face turned cold. “Miss, there are rules in this hotel. Please calm down or I’ll have to call the security.”

Zhou Wu threatened from the side, “Do you have any idea who she is? You dare touch us?”

The receptionist didn’t want to bother with her anymore. She directly shouted into the walkie-talkie, “Security, come here for a moment.”

Tan Jing gritted her teeth. How dare the receptionist of a shabby hotel treat her like this? However, it was more important to look for Tan Rou, so she had to back down for now.

Tan Jing took out the bank card that Chen Yi gave her and slammed it on the table. “Then we’ll also get a presidential suite. Is that alright? Aren’t you guys open for business?”

The receptionist hesitated for a moment and did not dare to agree easily. She only said, “I’m sorry, Please wait a moment. I need to ask our boss.”

After saying that, she asked another staff member to replace her. She went into the back office and used the hotel’s private line to dial Zhuang Liu’s room.

The phone rang and Xiao Mo picked it up. “Is there any issue?”

The receptionist explained the matter briefly and asked, “I don’t think they came with good intentions. Should I ask the security to escort them out?”

Xiao Mo was not sure either and hesitated for a moment.

Zhuang Liu turned his head. “What is it?”

Xiao Mo glanced at Tan Rou, he replied, “Tan Jing and Zhou Wu saw Miss Tan Rou for some reason and are making a scene downstairs. They are demanding to know which room is Miss Tan Rou in, but the receptionist didn’t dare to tell them. Afterward, Tan Jing then demanded a presidential suite.”

Zhuang Liu frowned. He didn’t want Tan Rou to come into contact with these people again. He was about to ask the security to chase them out. With him around, he would never let Tan Rou see those dirty people again.

However, Tan Rou rushed to say, “Give her the room!”

Xiao Mo looked at Tan Rou and wanted to say something but hesitated.

However, Tan Rou smiled and said, “Since there is money to be made, why not make it? No matter what she’s here for, I’m not afraid. Maybe she likes to do things to make a fool out of herself.”

Zhuang Liu looked at the slyness in Tan Rou’s eyes and knew that this little fox might have a plan to deal with them. He smiled helplessly. As long as it entertained Tan Rou. Besides, he was here to protect her anyway.

Zhuang Liu turned his head and motioned to Xiao Mo. “Just do as Rou Rou says!”

After the front desk attendant received the green light, she walked back to the front desk and gave Tan Jing a perfunctory smile. “I’ll handle your check-in for you right away.”

Tan Jing snorted coldly. She was a pretentious lackey. Which boss would chase away customers? What was there to ask? If she delayed her time and let Tan Rou run away again, she would never let her off.

The front desk attendant quickly arranged the most expensive suite for her. She quietly swiped on the balance of Tan Jing’s card and handed the room card to Tan Jing.

Tan Jing looked at the transaction records and felt a pang of pain. She had no choice. To catch Tan Rou, she had to do this.

Tan Jing took back the card fiercely and walked into the elevator with Zhou Wu.

In the elevator, Tan Jing instructed Zhou Wu, “It’s best if we can catch them during the deed! Remember to take photos and secretly send them to the reporters. The former foster daughter of the Tan family has fallen to the depths of depravity and resorts to secretly meeting a rich man in the hotel. This headline will definitely be explosive!”

Zhou Wu chuckled. “Don’t worry!”

Inside the room, Zhuang Liu asked Tan Rou, “What do you plan to do?”

Tan Rou smiled. “Since the two of them dared to come then don’t blame me for being rude. Just sight tight and enjoy the show!”
