Overnight Hit: Vicious Stepmother and Genius Son -
Chapter 153 Room Card
Chapter 153: Chapter 153 Room Card
"Have you discussed this matter with Ah Nan?" Madam Shen asked another question, her tone unchanged.
Han Jiangxue was startled and then answered truthfully after a moment of thought, "Ah Nan doesn’t want me to get involved. He said he’ll handle it himself, but I think that as a woman, my involvement could make things much more efficient."
Hearing that her own son disagreed, the faint smile on Madam Shen’s face faded slightly, and her interest in the matter waned.
After all this time, it was still Han Jiangxue acting on her own accord.
"Hmm, women intervening can indeed sometimes make things more efficient, but you are underestimating the Cheng Zheng Couple. Do you think that by approaching them like this today, they will cooperate with Ah Nan?"
Han Jiangxue’s gaze hesitated. She felt like her mother-in-law was giving her a hard time, but she still said with a smile, "Mom, we have to at least try."
What’s more, Han Jiangxue was convinced that she could make it work. After all, she was a professional actress.
She might not know how to conduct business, but when it came to acting, she was very confident.
Madam Shen was silent for a moment and then said, "Xiao Xue, broaden your perspective. Being sincere is the most important thing in life."
Madam Shen didn’t specify her method and didn’t want to say any more.
She felt she had already given a clear enough hint.
Han Jiangxue was someone she knew all too well. Shen Zhaonan had told her not to go, yet she still insisted on going.
As her mother, Madam Shen naturally couldn’t stop her now. If Han Jiangxue managed to handle the matter well, it would benefit her son.
If it didn’t work out, and she said a few more words now, Han Jiangxue might push all the blame onto her later, claiming it was her mother’s idea...
As far as what Madam Shen had said, Han Jiangxue hadn’t taken a single word to heart.
All she could think about was the plot from that script she had read earlier, and how she was going to have that coincidental meeting with Mrs. Cheng at the hotel.
Jiangcheng Dihao Hotel.
After Han Jiangxue parked her car in the underground parking lot, Tang Ying got into her vehicle.
"Xiao Xue, this is the room card. The room that Cheng Zheng and his wife are staying in - if they’re going to take the elevator, they’ll definitely pass by this room," Tang Ying handed the room card to Han Jiangxue.
"The Cheng Zheng Couple hasn’t left the hotel yet, have they?"
"No." Tang Ying hesitated before saying, "Xiao Xue, about the money for the room and the payment for that person..."
A flash of displeasure crossed Han Jiangxue’s eyes, "So impatient. Are you afraid I’m going to run off without paying you?"
"That’s not it," Tang Ying laughed nervously, "I’ve just been a bit tight on funds recently. I’ve just moved into a new house and it’s being decorated. You know how it is..."
Normally, she wouldn’t mind a small amount of money, but opening a room cost nearly 200,000, plus the fee for hiring someone. She had advanced all of it, a sum of several hundred thousand. She was indeed short on cash, so of course, she wanted to settle the amount with Han Jiangxue.
A glint of impatience appeared in Han Jiangxue’s eyes as she pulled a bank card from her purse and handed it to Tang Ying, "Take it. And about the person you hired, make sure he keeps his mouth shut."
"Don’t worry about that. The person I found definitely won’t reveal a single word," Tang Ying reassured.
After seeing Tang Ying off, Han Jiangxue took the room card, went up to her room by elevator, and stood at the door, keeping an eye on any movement outside.
It wasn’t long before Han Jiangxue heard noises outside the door.
She immediately opened the door and stepped out with her bag, waiting for the elevator in front of it.
However, the people standing next to her were not a man and a woman, but two tall men, which was somewhat unexpected for Han Jiangxue.
The elevator doors opened, and the man in the suit and leather shoes standing at the back reached out to hold the doors, saying respectfully to another man, "President Cheng."
President Cheng?
Han Jiangxue’s gaze became wary, so the man called President Cheng was Cheng Zheng?
After Cheng Zheng entered the elevator, the bodyguard followed him in, and Han Jiangxue hesitated for a moment. As she looked at Cheng Zheng, she wanted to say something but felt it would be out of place.
Cheng Zheng narrowed his eyes and, without sparing a glance, stood silently inside the elevator, his aura so cold it made the already small space feel even narrower.
The bodyguard asked, "Miss, are you getting on the elevator?"
Han Jiangxue did not look at the bodyguard; instead, she glanced again at Cheng Zheng. The bodyguard caught Han Jiangxue’s look and said nothing more, stepping aside quietly.
Han Jiangxue pondered outside the elevator for a few seconds, and in the instant before the doors were about to close, she stepped in.
She glanced at the elevator’s floor buttons, saw they were going to the first floor, and quietly stood aside, making no sound.
Soon they reached the first floor, Cheng Zheng and the bodyguard exited the elevator, and Han Jiangxue followed behind them.
She watched Cheng Zheng get into a black sedan parked outside the hotel, with the bodyguard following him inside.
Han Jiangxue stopped a taxi and, after getting in, said to the driver, "Master, follow that car in front."
The driver recognized Han Jiangxue at a glance and exclaimed in surprise, "Eh! You, you’re Han Jiangxue?"
Han Jiangxue smiled faintly, "Yes, it’s me. Master, please follow that car ahead."
"Oh my God, you really are Han Jiangxue, you’re so beautiful in person~! Can I have your autograph? My wife and I really like the dramas you’re in!"
"I can sign an autograph, Master, but could you please drive now and catch up to that car?" Han Jiangxue’s tone was somewhat anxious.
"Okay, no worries, we’ll set off right away."
As he spoke, the driver expertly shifted gears and accelerated through the slightly congested traffic, drawing closer to the black Bentley up ahead.
While driving, the driver asked with concern, "Xiao Xue, who is in that car ahead?"
The driver didn’t understand why Han Jiangxue, a big star, was taking a taxi to chase after a luxury car.
Han Jiangxue seemed to snap back to reality suddenly and looked at the young driver. She quickly realized and said with a faint smile,
"He’s an investor. Just now he came to talk to my agent and the director about investing. The conversation didn’t go well. I want to go and apologize.
Please don’t mention this outside; I don’t want to stir up any trouble because of these matters."
The driver nodded, "Don’t worry, although I’m a taxi driver, I have professional ethics."
At the same time, the driver internally agreed with Han Jiangxue’s words. If the person in the car ahead wasn’t some investor or director or the like, why else would Han Jiangxue be so eager to catch up?
If it were for another reason, it was unlikely that a star like Han Jiangxue would take a taxi to chase after it.
The taxi didn’t have to follow for long before Han Jiangxue saw the Bentley pull over at a harbor by the riverbank, where Cheng Zheng and the driver got out and boarded a yacht.
Until those two tall figures disappeared from her sight, she didn’t see any women appear.
Han Jiangxue said to the driver, "Master, please take me back to the hotel."
