It was the same Seven-Star Hotel as earlier. Gu Qingxin experienced a moment of dizziness as she stared at the towering building. She had changed her clothes after her bath. The plain colors made her face look even paler. She shut her eyes forcefully and prayed with all her heart that Qianqian was mistaken about who she had seen.

“Qingxin, they’re right upstairs. Follow me,” Bai Qianqian said as she rushed over. She took Gu Qingxin’s hand and they entered the building.

Bai Qianqian was her best friend since childhood. They were closer than biological sisters were. They came from wealthy families in Mingcheng, and since they had business dealings with each other, the two of them were friends since childhood.

Gu Qingxin remained in a daze. When she returned to her senses, she already stood outside the door to a suite.

Bai Qianqian gazed at her preoccupied friend, gritted her teeth, and rang the doorbell on her behalf.

The door to the suite opened after about five seconds.

Gu Qingxin had hoped that Qianqian was mistaken, but the moment she lifted her head, she saw Tang Rongling stand right in front of her. His dark, sharp eyes were hidden beneath his wet hair, and he wore a white bathrobe with an open neckline that revealed his sexy, defined chest muscles. His body exuded the fragrance that followed a bath.

“Rongling, is that the waiter with our meal?” A woman’s sweet voice rang out from within the suite and a familiar figure appeared in Gu Qingxin’s vision soon after.

“Qingxin,” Gu Yunci said as her expression changed drastically. Panic was written all over her pretty little face. She looked like a frightened deer that was still capable of evoking feelings of tenderness.

She was wearing a similar white bathrobe and water droplets were dripping from her curly hair. She ran over in shock, her face filled with guilt and anxiety.

“Tang Rongling, how dare you let Qingxin down!” Bai Qianqian said, trying to speak for the heartbroken Gu Qingxin.

Tang Rongling was Gu Qingxin’s fiancé. Yet here he was with Gu Qingxin’s half-sister.

“Qingxin, listen to me. Rongling and I…” Gu Yunci tried to explain.

Gu Qingxin’s eyes remained fixated on the man before her. Her beautiful lips were shut like a withered flower. Tears swirled in her eyes, but she stubbornly refused to let them fall.

Tang Rongling was her childhood sweetheart and fiancé. She had loved him for over ten years, but he suddenly felt like a stranger at that moment as she stared at him.

“Gu Yunci, shut your mouth. Who do you think you are? You’re nothing but a daughter born to a domestic helper of the Gu family. Do you really think you are part of them?” Bai Qianqian was so furious that she pointed at the woman inside the room and started to yell at her.

“Bai Qianqian, I know that you have always looked down on me. However, I am also my father’s biological daughter,” Gu Yunci said as her face turned pale and her body trembled.

“Yes. Your mother, a domestic helper, plotted and schemed to crawl into the master’s bed and ended up giving birth to a b*stard like you,” Bai Qianqian replied. She was so angry that she was close to blowing up and wanted to speak up on the injustice that Gu Qingxin had suffered.

“Enough!” Tang Rongling interrupted Bai Qianqian coldly. He frowned and stared resolutely at the girl in front of him, who had remained silent all the while.

“Why?” Gu Qingxin did not cry or make a fuss. In fact, she did not even shed a tear. However, no one saw her tightly clenched fists and her nails that dug deep into her skin.

Tang Rongling gazed at the girl before him and felt inexplicably irritated.

“Qingxin, don’t blame Rongling. It’s all my fault, I was the one who seduced him. I… I just love him too much, I fell in love with him the first time I saw him…” Gu Yunci rushed over and grabbed Gu Qingxin’s arms with both hands. She knelt before her with her knees hit the ground with a thud.
