Chapter 317 - So Sly, Moyu (1)
Luo Qingqing had an event she had to attend, but it was clear that she would be late as her evening dress and makeup was ruined. How was she supposed to attend a contract signing tonight? She can't possibly show up in front of her clients looking like this.
She followed the bodyguard into the private elevator and was led to one of the luxurious presidential suites of the hotel. Luo Qingqing looked down at her feet and chuckled to herself as she saw that one of her shoes was also missing.
Now great. Not only did she not have a proper dress for the event, she was barefooted. It was impossible for her to attend her contract signing in time. She decided to remove the only shoe remaining from her foot and chose to walk barefooted instead.
"Where are you taking me?" She asked the female bodyguard, watching the floor buttons of the elevator light up one by one.
"Our Miss wants to meet you, if you don't mind. She wants a word with you." The bodyguard replied, but didn??t mention who the person that wanted to meet her was.
The female bodyguard opened the door for her and gestured for her to go inside first. Luo Qingqing found herself in an empty hallway. She heard low voices coming from the inside and followed it. At the sitting area, she found one massive couch, a huge flatscreen tv and a floor to ceiling window that overlooked the beautiful cityscapes scenery.
Luo Qingqing found the same beautiful woman, sitting in an armrest chair with her legs crossed, her eyes shut. She was wearing the same white blouse and skirt she was wearing since morning. Next to her, a handsome man was sitting on the couch with a scowl on his face. He was dressed casually, a cane in one hand.
"You are…" Luo Qingqing spoke, taking both of their attention.
"I'm the owner of this hotel." Feng Tianyi muttered under his breath, but was loud enough for both women to hear him.
Luo Qingqing's face immediately blanched when she heard it. This… how was she supposed to explain the crowd that had been waiting for her outside for about three days now? It made sense why she was summoned here.
This owner might have had enough of the problems she brought with her. His business would have been affected to the point that he'd chosen to confront her this time.
"You are Luo Qingqing?" He asked, as he gave her a good look.
Luo Qingqing felt ashamed to present herself to them like this.
"You know her?" Tang Moyu asked Feng Tianyi. She cupped the side of her face with one hand and cracked an eye open to look at him.
Feng Tianyi gave her a flirty wink and grinned.
"Don't be jealous, Moyu. Of course I know Miss Luo. Little Star loves her morning show." He explained. No matter how beautiful Luo Qingqing was, he was already enamored with the empress.
"Who said I'm jealous?" The empress huffed before eyeing her guest. She and Cheng Ning had been escorted away from the commotion earlier and had come up before Luo Qingqing did.
"You are not?" Feng Tianyi asked incredulously, earning a warning glare from the empress.
"Behave, darling." Tang Moyu said the last word with sarcasm. "We have a guest." She pulled herself back on her feet and offered a hand for a hand shake.
"I'm Tang Moyu. We met the other day." The empress introduced herself.
Luo Qingqing snapped out of her daze and shook the empress's hand. She was sure she had heard Tang Moyu's name somewhere.
"Pleased to meet you, Miss Tang. Thank you for saving me again…" She said. This was the second time this woman saved her a.s.s from getting stuck in an awkward situation. She hoped that she would be able to repay Tang Moyu's kindness to her one day.
Feng Tianyi laughed, then turned to the direction of Moyu's bedroom when he heard it open, followed by footsteps. He saw Cheng Ning come out with a paper bag in her hand.
"Miss Moyu, I found the dress you were looking for." She lifted her hand, showing them the paper bag with a logo of The Black Nightingale on it.
"Give it to Miss Luo. She needs it more than I do." Tang Moyu said, crossing her arms over her c.h.e.s.t.
"How thoughtful, Moyu. Are you sure it's alright to give her that dress?" Feng Tianyi commented. After all, all of The Black Nightingale's dresses were priceless and one of a kind. For Tang Moyu to give away something her best friend had given her, Feng Tianyi wasn't sure if it wouldn't cause an argument between them.
"W-what?" Luo Qingqing asked in shock. She couldn't understand why Tang Moyu was helping her. "But why?"
"Miss Luo, I'm aware of the predicament you are in tonight. I suggest you better hurry or you would lose that brand endors.e.m.e.nt if you don't show up tonight." Tang Moyu explained.
"But Miss Tang… This… Isn't it too much? You've already helped me enough." Luo Qingqing was aware that she cannot push her luck this time.
Tang Moyu just shrugged and took her phone from the coffee table, checking the pictures Li Meili sent earlier. They looked like they were enjoying their stay at Song Huifen's place in Beijing and couldn't wait for her to arrive.
The end of her lips curled into a slight smile as she sent a kiss sticker to Li Meili before thanking her for looking after her twins while she was away.
"Anyway, we're leaving in an hour and I have no plans to use the dress anytime soon. There's nothing to worry about the dress." She added.
Luo Qingqing's problem could be easily resolved if she wasn't in a rush. The event will start in two hours and she needed to hit the road as soon as possible. She bit her lower lip. She needed to know what's happening around her.
