Mister Chen signing the contract was within He Yi’s expectation.

Their contract was definitely legal as He Yi was the hotel’s sole proprietor recognized by law. Not to mention, her offer was around half of the market value.

She finally signed a five-year contract with Mister Chen for 15 million bucks.

He Yi brought her identity card as she was well prepared. Although the original property documents were with Chu Tianyi and she could not obtain another copy from the land office in a short amount of time, most of them were not necessities and photocopies were sufficient since they were only continuing a contract.

The whole process was astoundingly smooth!

Both of them placed their signatures within a few strokes and a valid agreement was formed. With a notification message, 15 million bucks were successfully transferred to He Yi’s new bank account.

He Yi rose elegantly and smiled at Mister Chen before bidding farewell. “I hope that our cooperation will be just as smooth in the future!”

Mister Chen sent He Yi out of the VIP room courteously before smiling happily with the contract in his arms like treasure.

He had been failing to reach Chu Tianyi’s legal representative recently and he was speculating that they might already decide to rent the hotel to another person. Therefore, He Yi’s appearance was a surprise for Mister Chen and her offer solved his issue. He did not only continued his contract, he even got it with a 50 percent discount!

The hotel’s tenancy for five years would cost at least 30 million according to the market value. He was even expecting Chu Tianyi to give him a hard time by making a counteroffer with an extra five million bucks. He was actually prepared to accept an offer to continue the contract for 3.5 million bucks.

He did not expect that he could finalize the tenancy with merely 15 million bucks. It was undoubtedly a great bargain and he would definitely take the opportunity as he was not stupid! As long as he could sign a continuing contract with the true owner, it would be in accordance with law principles and he no longer needed to bother Young Master Chu.

Mister Chen was squinting his eyes with joy when Manager Zhang walked over from the hall and whispered, “Boss, Young Master Chu is having a meal in the VIP booth on the seventh floor!”

Mister Chen stunned as he only remembered that he wanted to please Chu Tianyi so that he would agree to sign a continuing contract for the tenancy. Therefore, his previous intent became of no use. “Don’t bother! Just serve him some nice dishes and wine and say nothing else!”

Since the continuing contract was valid and effective, he no longer needed to please Chu Tianyi.

He Yi walked out of the VIP room and entered a lift calmly before noticing in terror that the two men in black who followed her were in the same lift.

She was genuinely shocked and the joy from her previous victory was replaced with fear. She knew that she would be in real danger if she did not take bold measures.

He Yi felt a chill when she thought of Chu Tianyi’s ruthlessness and she knew that she could not afford to be careless. She pressed the open button immediately and the lift stopped on the seventh floor.

He Yi walked out of the lift hurriedly. The men were not expecting her to get out on the seventh floor and they gave each other one look before following her.

As He Yi walked hurriedly, she was thinking of how to escape from the danger.

Since she was familiar with the layout of the Guibin Hotel, she knew that the whole seventh floor was dedicated to VIPs only and there were luxurious booths prepared for guests with social status. Also, those guests were all extremely wealthy and they usually had bodyguards with them.

She planned to get into one of the booths to hide from those two.

However, she did not know which booths were occupied as all of the doors were tightly shut. Then, she noticed a girl crying in a crouch beside a booth.

The girl seemed to be around five or six years old. She wore a sophisticated checkered knitted dress paired with the newest red suede boots with an expensive-looking crystal hair clip on her hair. She had to be the child of someone wealthy and yet, she was alone while crying in a crouch near the half-shut booth door with her head lowered.

Laughter and chatter were heard from the half-shut door while the girl hugged her knees and continued sobbing. She looked sorrowful and helpless as her shoulders shook.

He Yi’s heart skipped a beat as if someone twisted her heart painfully. Forgetting the dangerous situation she was in, she could not help but walk to the sobbing girl and whisper, “Girl, what’s the matter?”

The girl looked up when she heard her voice and revealed her delicate cheeks covered with tears. However, she kept sobbing without a word.

He Yi staggered and almost fell.

‘She’s…’ He Yi stared at the girl’s somewhat familiar features. Her delicate cheeks, huge sparkly eyes, brush-like thick and long lashes were similar to He Yi’s when she was a child.

The explanation was obvious. He Yi almost lost control of her emotions and her mind became a blank from the sudden surprise. She could hear herself trembling when she asked, “Wan Wan? Is that you?”

She lowered herself into a crouch and extended her arms that were shaking even more than her voice to touch the pretty girl. She approached her carefully while holding her breath as if she was a bird as she repeated, “Wan Wan? Is that you?”

The girl was startled and the sorrow in her huge eyes turned into shock. “Madam, who are you? How do you know my name?”

‘Madam?!’ He Yi’s heart jerked and she almost failed to grasp the girl’s slim wrist. She could not believe that the girl called her “madam”.

He Yi shut her eyes in agony as her tears gushed out. Her heart was torn into pieces and she could not breathe from the pain. However, she knew that she did not have the time to be sad at the moment.

She bit her lip hard so that she could clear her head from the pain. She suppressed her emotions and threw her gaze toward the half-shut booth door. “Wan Wan, is your father in there?”

Although Wan Wan did not recognize the weird lady who behaved strangely, she did not fear her at all. She did not even repulse the physical contact from He Yi although she was always shy. She sniffed and answered softly, “Dad is in there. It’s my brother, Ke Ke’s birthday today!”

‘I see!’ He Yi understood at once and became furious. That beast, Chu Tianyi, must have chased her daughter out of the booth. She was crying on the floor outside helplessly when Su Anqi and Chu Tianyi were enjoying a feast and celebrating their son’s birthday cruelly.

There were no words to describe He Yi’s anger and she could no longer control herself.

She turned around and observed that the men in black were still following her while checking on her while her nemesis was right inside the booth.

He Yi’s paths were blocked and there was no other way to retreat. She was in a desperate situation.

Determined, she pulled Wan Wan and held her head high as she said, “Let me take you to ask Chu Tianyi what did you do to deserve starving outside the booth!”
