Chapter 288: Chapter 288: The Woman Who Became the Mistress

"Her husband is still in police custody, and she indeed used to be a regular here."

"Right, I had a good reputation before, didn’t I? You must know that my family really isn’t short on money; it’s just temporary troubles that we’re facing now. How can you not grant me a few more days?" Liang Hongli seized the opportunity to say.

"We’ve already let you stay for free for over a week," the lobby manager said.

"But my husband still hasn’t been released, please give me a few more days. He will be out soon. Miss, please speak up for me, I’m truly out of options," Liang Hongli pretended to be pitiful in front of Guan Qi again.

There happened to be quite a few guests gathered around, and Liang Hongli was planning to force a compromise.

She was a pregnant woman in such a pitiful state; she believed they would face public condemnation if they refused to help her.

This was the lobby manager’s dilemma.

However, she couldn’t continue to let Liang Hongli stay, or she would face punishment.

Moreover, the hotel wasn’t a charity organization.

"Your situation is indeed special and requires assistance," Guan Qi said, nodding to Liang Hongli.

Liang Hongli’s heart leaped with joy, thinking Guan Qi would help her, and she quickly said with gratitude, "Thank you, you really are a kind person. These past few days I’ve been utterly desperate, with no one willing to help me. I never imagined, despite not knowing you, you’d be willing to help me."

Who said they wanted to help you?

You really know how to emotionally blackmail!

Lin Zhi, standing to the side, sneered inwardly. This was Liang Hongli’s usual tactic, always playing the victim and exploiting others.

She had used all sorts of sweet talk to successfully become the other woman in the first place.

Never underestimate a woman who managed to become the mistress. They have no bottom line when it comes to achieving their goals.

It was just unfortunate that Guan Qi was about to be deceived by her. Guan Qi loved doing good deeds, how could she know that not everyone in need of help is a good person.

Some people deserve their misfortune.

But Lin Zhi didn’t want to let Liang Hongli off so easily. Just as she was about to step forward to remind Guan Qi, Guan Qi took out some money and handed it to Liang Hongli, saying,

"Take this money for emergencies. If you find a more ordinary hotel, I think this money should be enough to last you a week. By that time, your husband will probably have been released."

Liang Hongli stared at the roughly one thousand yuan she was given and was stunned for a moment.

Guan Qi smiled and said, "Don’t be shy; there’s no need to feel embarrassed. We’re both pregnant women; I help you out of empathy. You don’t have to return this money to me, so don’t feel burdened by it."

But that amount of money isn’t even enough for two nights at a Five-star Hotel!

Not to mention she also needed to eat. Just one meal would cost hundreds; this money wouldn’t last at all.

"Thank you, I appreciate your kindness, but I’m older and have a heart condition, and I’m about to give birth... To be honest, I feel ashamed. I’ve thought about staying at a more ordinary hotel, but I feel so uncomfortable there. I really had no choice but to stay here," Liang Hongli shamelessly played the sympathy card once more.

Lin Zhi almost wanted to bow down to her in admiration!

This woman was truly incredible; she could even spin a tale like that...

Concerned, Guan Qi asked, "Do you feel very uncomfortable?"

"Yes, my heart is really bad, and I feel uncomfortable every day. My stomach is especially uncomfortable too; I can’t swallow a bite of the food outside, and I feel so miserable staying anywhere else. What am I to do?"
