Free Web NovelChapter 661: Why Does It Have to Be Her?!
On Sheng Yi’s first night arriving in M Country, she encountered a storm. The hotel she booked was far from the airport, and the car that was supposed to pick her up was delayed for over an hour due to the storm. Coupled with the drastic atmospheric pressure changes during the flight, overall, this trip to M Country was extremely inconvenient.
It was already very late when she reached the hotel.
The hotel was Room 414, a presidential suite that Gu Yuan had booked for Sheng Yi in advance. It offered great privacy and was expensive.
"Ding" sounded.
The suite door opened, and a blonde-haired, blue-eyed attendant stepped aside to make way, then handed Sheng Yi the room key with both hands. Sheng Yi took the suitcase and thanked in unaccented English. After the attendant smiled and nodded, they turned to leave.
Upon entering the suite, Sheng Yi was too drained to bother with her suitcase, tossing it in a corner. Her bag was casually flung aside as well, and upon seeing the large bed, it felt like seeing her own mother, rushing towards it for an intimate embrace.
Thud—
She didn’t even hear the sound of her phone hitting the floor.
The large bed bounced slightly with Sheng Yi’s collapse onto it. The grueling experience of over ten hours of flying felt like it had taken half her life. Though she had been abroad before, it seemed this time was rushed, and she hadn’t rested well beforehand. Altogether, this flight was exhausting to the extreme.
Her eyelids grew increasingly heavy, and she didn’t want to open her eyes once she closed them. ƒree𝑤ebnσvel.com
Thus, Sheng Yi fell asleep just like that.
...
Last night there was a storm.
The next day, however, brought splendid weather.
However, Sheng Yi couldn’t enjoy the splendid weather early in the day, as she slept very deeply, only barely waking up at two in the afternoon the next day.
The dozen missed calls on her phone failed to wake her.
She turned over, staring at the ornate relief on the ceiling in a daze for quite a while before the memories gradually returned.
She remembered, she had successfully arrived in M Country!
Last night she encountered a major storm, the car fetching her was delayed a long time, and by the time she reached the hotel she was too exhausted to speak, babbling incoherently... Had her large and coarse nerves last night lost anything??
She quickly turned over, crawling up, and searched around before finding the suitcase pitifully tossed aside in a corner. All the documents in her bag were there, letting her breathe a sigh of relief. Then she thought of something else seemingly missing, and her nerves jumped; she remembered.
Where was her phone?
The phone was extremely important!
With a worried heart, she searched around, taking a few minutes before finally finding her poor phone under the bed, fortunately cushioned by a carpet.
She pressed the Home button, seeing the dozen missed calls displayed on the screen, her temples thumping non-stop.
She opened them with unease.
There were calls from her mom, dad, Yuanyuan, and her least favorite Qin Bing. Lastly, there were two missed calls from her agent Liu Ru. Sheng Yi poured herself a glass of water to soothe her throat. She was a bit hungry, but she had to return these calls first. Except for Qin Bing’s call, she directly deleted that missed call record, pretending she didn’t see it, and feeling justified.
She called back her dad, mom, and Yuanyuan to report her safety, and finally returned Liu Ru’s call.
After returning all the calls, only then did Sheng Yi breathe a sigh of relief.
She tossed the phone aside, sitting cross-legged on the bed, propping her cheek in thought — what should she do next?
...
In M Country, where everything was unfamiliar.
What Sheng Yi feared most was an unfamiliar place. As a famous actress from Hua Country, her looks required her to move discreetly domestically. Abroad, she had to be extra careful, needing to be fully cloaked when going out. Yuanyuan had repeatedly warned her to bundle up tightly during the day and that night... it was best not to go out; if something happened, no one would know.
After barely adjusting to jet lag and adapting to two days in M Country.
On a sunny afternoon—
Sheng Yi opened her phone’s notes, where Dao An’s current company address was stored.
Dao An’s current company was located on Wall Street. Though it was overseas business for the Gu Family, it wasn’t managed internally by them; hence Dao An personally came to M Country to take charge.
She followed the address and took a car to Wall Street.
It was a grand avenue stretching South from Broadway Road to the East. Wherever she looked, skyscrapers lined up like a wall. It was said that global industry giants all gathered here, also known as the world’s largest "money beast" gathering place. Honestly, Sheng Yi had only seen reports about Wall Street in the foreign news section, summarized by the grandeur the place exuded.
