Lu Xia had yet to walk out of the door when she heard the new guests asking for two rooms before receiving a positive response. She instantly halted in her steps in surprise.

  She turned to look at the new guests as they stood in front of the counter and gave the front desk officer their identification cards. The front desk officer deftly swiped the cards, registered them, and gave them two key cards.

  Lu Xia’s mind instantly exploded. She disregarded her pride and went up to the front desk with her luggage.

  The new guests had yet to go far when she slammed the counter hard. “Didn’t you say there was a fire hazard in the hotel? Then, how could you check them in?”


  The new guests turned to look at each other when they heard what Lu Xia said. Was there a fire hazard in the hotel?

  The front desk officer didn’t expect Lu Xia to still be around. She glanced at the new guests before she looked at Lu Xia. She walked around the counter and went up to one of the new guests and spoke softly to him.

  Lu Xia did not hear what the front desk officer had to say. After whispering to them, the new guests clearly glanced at her in disdain before quickly taking the lift.

  The front desk officer went back to the computer and said to Lu Xia, “Why don’t you go to some other hotel? We aren’t good enough for you.”


  Lu Xia became even more livid when she heard this. “What is the meaning of this? How can you send me away for no reason? I am going to file a complaint with the consumers’ association.”


  The front desk officer replied calmly. “We offered to refund you double your room fees and you have accepted it, so we have already made up for the inconvenience. If you are still angry, feel free to lodge a complaint.”


  Lu Xia clenched her fists tightly when she saw how blatant the front desk officer’s attitude was. She should not have believed what the front desk officer said when she lied about the fire hazard.

  It was just some lousy hotel in the countryside. Did they think this was a palace or something?

  Lu Xia inhaled deeply. She kept telling herself not to lower herself to the same level as this country bumpkin and not to pick a fight.

  Lu Xia turned and walked out with her luggage.

  She stood by the roadside to hail a cab and told the driver to send her to another hotel.

  The moment she got to the second hotel and showed them her identification card, the front desk officer raised her head and glanced at Lu Xia before returning her card. “I am sorry. We don’t have any more rooms.”


  Lu Xia frowned when she heard this. “Why did you say you had rooms when I asked earlier?

  The front desk officer only said there were no rooms after checking her identification card. Did she take Lu Xia for a fool?

  “I am so sorry.” The front desk officer repeated herself without offering any explanation.

  Lu Xia left the hotel in a huff and tried the next one.

  Every single hotel she asked, claimed that there were rooms available initially but changed their tune after swiping her identification card.

  No matter how oblivious Lu Xia was, she had already caught on that someone did not want her to stay here.

  Even without trying hard, she knew who it was.

  However, when did Huo Yulin’s reach grow so long?

  Lu Xia kept trying to recall things about the Huo family in her past life.

  In the past, she thought the Huo family were paupers, so she did not pay attention to them after reuniting with the Lu family. She only found out that the Huo family was in fact quite wealthy when the Lu family went bankrupt, but she did not hear anything about Huo Yulin at the time.
