Jiang Qin was startled by what she heard, her face turned pale. She quickly grabbed Si Fan's hand, "Fanfan, let her go quickly. If this escalates to the police station, it won't be good for us or the Si Family!"
She didn't want her running away from home to end up as a joke that lands them in the police station, ultimately needing Si Mingyuan to personally bail them out.
Then what would be the point of running away from home?!
Si Fan didn't care about any of that.
In her world, those who comply thrive, those who defy perish!
How much blood hadn't been stained on her hands?!
If it weren't for the survival rules of this world restricting her, this unseeing fool in front of her would have long been a corpse under her feet!
Si Fan's dark eyes half-closed, a powerful killing intent burst from her, word by word, "Apolo-gize!"
The cashier was so terrified by Si Fan's aura that her face turned ashen, her legs weakened to the point she couldn't help but kneel.
She had a strong feeling that if she refused to apologize now,
She might end up separated from her head.
The cashier almost couldn't help but cry, her former arrogance vanished, "I'm so, so sorry, I, I was wrong, I shouldn't have treated you with such arrogance..."
Hearing the words, Si Fan sneered, leisurely releasing the cashier's collar. Her fair hand patted the cashier's face with a gaze that was aloof and contemptuous of everything, "That's more like it."
The cashier's legs gave way, and as soon as Si Fan let go, she collapsed weakly to the ground, staring blankly.
Jiang Qin wore the same expression.
Her daughter, such intimidating power, it had completely stunned her?!
She asked her soul another question, was this really her timid, cowardly, and incompetent daughter?
Wasn't this clearly a harbinger of doom?!
Just then, Jiang Qin noticed a group of burly security guards in uniforms approaching them, instantly panicking, she grabbed her suitcase in one hand and Si Fan with the other, "Fanfan, the security is coming, they must be here to catch us, let's run!!!"
She certainly didn't want to end up in the police station!
Just as Jiang Qin was about to flee, the hotel manager leading the security suddenly spoke to stop them, "Please, the two guests, stay!"
Seeing no way to escape, Jiang Qin could only desperately plead with the hotel manager, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, my daughter didn't mean to hit anyone, she just, just..."
Just what?
A distraught Jiang Qin had no idea how to explain what just happened.
"Actually, the person who should apologize is me," the hotel manager said, "I just reviewed the surveillance footage, and I understand what happened. The issue was with our hotel's employee's service attitude. I'll immediately terminate this employee, and as compensation, our hotel will grant you a one-week free experience in our VIP presidential suite!"
With a warm smile, the hotel manager offered Jiang Qin an experience card along with a room card for the presidential suite.
Jiang Qin was dumbfounded, never expecting such a turn of events.
When the hotel manager saw Jiang Qin in shock, not taking the card, he turned it towards Si Fan, bowing slightly to show sincerity.
Si Fan raised an eyebrow, calmly accepting the experience card and room card from the hotel manager, "Thanks."
The presidential suite, a freebie too good to pass up.
She was a queen living exquisitely and wouldn't let herself suffer.
The hotel manager nodded to Si Fan, then called the security to take the cashier away.
He then personally escorted Si Fan and Jiang Qin to the top-floor VIP presidential suite.
While taking the elevator, Si Fan distinctly felt a gaze that had been shrouding her disappear suddenly with the closing elevator doors.
In those last few seconds before the elevator doors shut, Si Fan lifted her gaze, spotting a black silhouette on the second-floor balcony.
The dim lighting blurred his tall figure, casting a warm halo over him.
She couldn't make out the man's features, only meeting his gaze— seemingly indifferent, yet intensely focused, like being watched by a predator.
The elevator doors closed.
Si Fan reminisced about that gaze, a playful smile tugging at her lips.
Ha, interesting.
......
Standing on the second-floor balcony, the man watched the slowly closing elevator, still staring at the tightly shut doors for some time.
After a while, he withdrew his gaze, raised his hand, and gently tapped the wireless earpiece in his ear with his distinctly jointed forefinger, saying in a clear tone, "Make sure they are well taken care of."
With that, he turned to leave.
Si Fan and Jiang Qin were led by the hotel manager to their exclusive VIP presidential suite.
After sending the mother and daughter into the room, the hotel manager smiled and offered a few words of advice before leaving them a quiet space to rest.
Jiang Qin patted her face, still not coming back to her senses, "Are we... am I dreaming?"
How did we suddenly end up in the presidential suite?
She had just asked at the front desk, the presidential suite costs tens of thousands per night!
This week-long experience card, isn't it worth several hundred thousand?
This hotel manager, so foolish to give them the experience for free??
Si Fan glanced over, responding softly, "What do you think?"
Jiang Qin looked at her daughter, opened her mouth to speak, but in the end, said nothing.
Let's just say the hotel manager was foolish.
Si Fan lowered her head, opened the suitcase, found a set of her clothes, and casually draped it over her shoulder, "I'm going to take a shower first!"
With that, she went into the bathroom.
She had fought several times today, broke into a sweat, and felt sticky and uncomfortable.
Half an hour later.
Si Fan emerged from the shower, her hair dripping, a white towel on her head, wiping as she walked, looking rather impatient.
She was used to someone attending to her during baths, and it felt unusual without assistance.
Suddenly, she paused, her gaze falling on the sofa where Jiang Qin sat in a stupor, lost in thought.
Jiang Qin seemed to sense Si Fan's emergence, her eyes shifted, her tone filled with loss and confusion, "Fanfan, now that we've left the Si Family, what do we do next?!"
In the heat of the moment, she packed and left impulsively.
Now calm, she realized she might have made a wrong decision.
Currently jobless, without salary or income, how would she pay for Si Yi's medical expenses?!
Moreover, there was Si Fan's university tuition, which also required money.
Even if she found a job, it wouldn't be nearly enough.
So, with a clear mind, she regretted it.
Jiang Qin held her head in frustration, sighing, "Sigh, if I had known, I shouldn't have left so decisively. It was Si Ya's fault, not yours. We were in the right. If I had softened my attitude, Si Mingyuan might not have been so heartless to us..."
She truly lost her cool back then, and that's why she spoke thoughtlessly, sigh!
Si Fan coldly retorted, "Do you think that's possible?"
Jiang Qin was momentarily stunned by Si Fan's retort.
