Mi Li has been feeling very down lately, completely losing her passion for work.
It would be one thing if her rival had suddenly become incredibly strong, but Ji Xiaocheng even threw her into housekeeping duties.
However, the hotel has been fully booked for a week since yesterday, all because the popular young star Lu Yu checked into the presidential suite.
The arrival of a male celebrity is no joke; it can pack the place in an instant.
Today just happens to be the day Mi Li is responsible for cleaning Lu Yu's room. She shouldn't have peeked at the guest's privacy, but Lu Yu's computer was on, and a cute photo of him on the screensaver seemed to tempt Mi Li. Out of curiosity, she couldn't help but take a glance.
What she saw shocked her.
The document open on the desktop was actually a suicide note written by Lu Yu! It stated that he couldn't bear the recent rumors circulating about him and wanted to end his life...
Mi Li was terrified and recalled the recent trending topic on Weibo about Lu Yu being supported by a wealthy woman. She quickly took out her phone to inform President Ji of the situation, but it was too late.
Ji Xiaocheng had just received a call saying someone spotted Lu Yu on the hotel rooftop. He immediately called the police and rushed to the rooftop.
When he arrived, Mi Li was already standing a few steps away from Lu Yu, trying to persuade him: “Lu Yu, in this era where looks matter, you rely solely on your acting skills to make your way in the world. You don’t need to cling to anyone. Please don’t take your life over some baseless slander online; it’s not worth it!”
Having known Lu Yu for many years, Ji Xiaocheng understood that although Lu Yu had a quirky personality, he would never go so far as to take his own life. However, he was still unsure what this guy was really thinking.
Lu Yu ignored Mi Li ’s pleas and instead shot an ambiguous glance at Ji Xiaocheng. In the next moment, he picked up Mi Li, jumped onto the railing, and provocatively rubbed his face against her neck, saying with a teasing tone: “Mr. Ji, if I jump down with your beloved woman, you would be very hurt, wouldn’t you?”
Mi Li's heart raced. It turned out that the eyes of the masses were sharp; even Lu Yu thought she was Ji Xiaocheng's beloved woman. So, she wasn't being overly sentimental after all!
Ji Xiaocheng frowned and said, "My fiancée is someone else. You are mistaken. Let her go."
"Are you talking about Li Fei'er? That young lady with whom you only have a marriage alliance and no real feelings? Ha, as an actor, I must admire your acting skills. So what about your instructions to the guest room manager to take good care of Mi Li? As the heir of a hotel group, do you really have the time to look after a subordinate?"
The amount of information was overwhelming!
She had thought that Ji Xiaocheng was just a high-ranking executive hired by the group, and there was a vast difference between them. If he was the heir of the group, then their status was indeed worlds apart!
Ji Xiaocheng's frown deepened: "Let her go! Are you happy playing tricks on us by threatening to jump off a building?"
Lu Yu became even more smug: "I'm bored; why don't you bite me, Ji Xiaocheng? I truly look down on you. You even compromise on feelings; what’s the point of living? Since you don’t like this woman, just give her to me."
Lu Yu deliberately kissed Mi Li on the cheek in front of Ji Xiaocheng, who clenched his fists, his knuckles cracking. Although he knew that Lu Yu was forcing him to yield, this scene was too unbearable. He couldn't tolerate seeing the woman he liked being touched by someone else, even if that someone was Lu Yu.
The man's pride erupted completely. "I say this for the last time: let her go!"
Lu Yu, oblivious to danger, stuck out his tongue and licked Mi Li's earlobe: "Oh? Are you angry? Still insisting that you don't like her? How about this: as long as you admit that the person you like is Mi Li, as a brother, I will naturally respect my friend's wife!"
Mi Li was extremely embarrassed and angry but didn't dare to move for fear of provoking this madman.
Ji Xiaocheng pressed his lips tightly together, his eyes bloodshot, yet he still refused to compromise.
Lu Yu glanced down at the bottom of the building and said with a wicked smile, "Very well, I'll give you a hand to help you see your own heart." With that, he suddenly let go of Mi Li and pushed her over the railing.
Ji Xiaocheng was taken aback and instinctively rushed forward, leaping over the railing and desperately grabbing onto Mi Li.
"Xiao Chen, as a friend, I can only help you this much," Lu Yu said.
He clapped his hands and swaggered away from the rooftop.
