Chapter 22 - 22: 022, Fiancee
He wore a dark colored shirt, under which were immaculate, wrinkle-free black trousers. His facial features were handsome, his eyes deep, yet his face was expressionless.
It was clear, even without asking, that something had interrupted him.
The manager was instantly frightened, breaking out in a cold sweat.
My goodness, how did they just happen to inspect Huo Jingshen’s room?
Who is Huo Jingshen?
He is the eldest grandson of Nancheng’s wealthiest man!
In the future, the entire estate of Huo Family will belong to him!
Even his own boss must address him respectfully as “big brother”.
He had only recently returned to the country, but everyone in the industry knew him well!
The police, however, did not recognize him and proceeded with a business-like tone: “Sir, could you please show your ID?”
Standing before them, Huo Jingshen remained motionless upon hearing the request, simply sliding his hands slowly into his trouser pockets.
The officer frowned, “Sir, please cooperate with our work, otherwise…”
“Oh, that’s not necessary.” Mo Weiyi hurriedly stepped forward to explain, apologizing with a smile, “I’m sorry officer, he is a friend of mine. We all know each other, so perhaps we should move on to inspect the next room.”
The manager quickly chimed in agreement, “Yes, yes, it’s all a misunderstanding. Mr. Huo, please continue as you were. I’m sorry for bothering you, my apologies.”
Seemingly confused, the policeman said, “Miss Mo, I received a directive from the superiors, they said you reported a case of prosti…”
“Ah!” Mo Weiyi screamed, interrupting his words, “What? What are you saying? There’s no such thing, you must have received the message wrong!”
She had been married for two years now, and had a fair bit of experience in related matters. Even though Huo Jingshen didn’t utter a word from beginning to end, but still…
How could his mood be unaffected when an intimate moment is interrupted?
She honestly felt quite frightened…
The policeman furrowed his brows, but seeing as the complainant herself was denying everything, he had no choice but to nod and turn to leave.
“Hey! Is that not Huo Jingshen?” Suddenly, a gossip stirred.
“Who is Huo Jingshen?”
“You don’t know Huo Jingshen? The eldest son of the Huo Family who just recently returned to the country. It’s said he came back to take over the Huo Yuan Group.”
The revelation caused quite a stir, the crowd’s discussion growing louder.
“Damn, is the Heir of Huo Family soliciting prostitutes at the luxurious residence?”
“Tsk. Tsk. Tsk. These folks returning from abroad are so different!”
“Real player…”
“So thrilling!”
“Wait, let me take a photo!”
“I’m gonna post this on TikTok!”
As the voices grew louder, Mo Weiyi’s expressions became increasingly interesting.
She didn’t even dare to look up at Huo Jingshen’s face…
It must be quite unpleasant!
Would he take it out on the Mo Family afterwards?
Would this affect Xiaobai’s job?
It was over, she had really caused a mess this time…
Just as she was lost in panicked thoughts.
“Miss Mo.” The deep voice of the man suddenly echoed.
Mo Weiyi felt like a startled bird at this moment, obviously trembling all over upon hearing this. Then she turned around and forced a smile onto her face, “Mr. Huo.”
“What did you study in university?”
Mo Weiyi was somewhat stunned, but seeing him seemingly waiting seriously for an answer, she continued with a forced smile, “Law.”
Although she was a slacker who often skipped classes…
“So.” Huo Jingshen continued to ask, “Is there any law that prohibits me from visiting this place with my fiancee?”
The smile on her face became frozen.
Fiancee?
“Miss Mo?” Huo Jingshen lifted his eyebrow.
Mo Weiyi hastily shook her head, “No, no, there is no such law.”
A hint of amusement flashed in Huo Jingshen’s eyes as his lips curved into a satisfied smile, “Earlier, Wanwan had a bit too much to drink and was feeling unwell, so I brought her up to rest for a while. Since you are here now, Miss Mo, could you please take care of her.”
After he finished speaking, he slightly shifted his shoulder, opening the way.
Blinking her eyes, unable to think much about it, Mo Weiyi walked over as if possessed.
In no time, a joyful voice rang from inside the suite, “Wanwan, Wanwan, are you alright?”
**
The corridor fell into a long silence.
Clearly, this was a misunderstanding.
Huo Jingshen still stood there immaculately, hands in his pockets, bearing a calm demeanor. His jaw was slightly raised, embodying an aura of grace and nobility.
The manager breathed a sigh of relief, trying to smooth things over, “I knew it, it was all a misunderstanding all along. Ha ha ha, I’m sorry officer, for having you make a futile trip tonight.”
The police officer was only too happy to finish his shift. After uttering some formalities, he turned to leave…
“Officer Yang! Officer Yang!” A young officer suddenly ran over and whispered something into his ear.
The manager felt uneasy, he had a bad feeling about this.
Next second, Officer Yang ordered in a stern voice: “Everyone, all of you, follow me to the fourth floor!”
