Chapter 8 Eat something weird and die a little sooner!
Rolling her two big suitcases full of cash, Su Lin checked into the hotel.
The receptionist frowned a little on seeing her poor and almost torn clothing. This was a 5-start hotel, after all, primarily meant for pleasing the rich.
They need to consider the convenience of their other guests as well. But, she immediately changed her attitude after recognizing who Su Lin was.
"Good evening madam. Thank you very much for using our services. Will young master Meng be joining you soon?"
"We can close out the dining hall and prepare a special romantic dinner for just the two of you."
"Please let me know anything you need. I will have hotel staff waiting for you right outside your door."
The receptionist didn't hold back and quickly offered Su Lin, the best possible service, but one could definitely sense a gleam of jealously and envy in her polite eyes.
In fact, Su Lin was one of the most envied women in the city. She held in her hands the gem that was most wanted by the city's women!
But this didn't make Su Lin happy at all.
Listening to the suddenly polite receptionist blabbering on, Su Lin did not smile this time.
The behavior of all these people meant that no matter where she goes in this city or probably in this country, her husband will always be able to find her and locate her.
She cannot possibly play a game of hide and seek with him. He was too powerful and had too many resources.
Forget about getting revenge, she first needed to ensure her safety.
On top of that, her sickness was a ticking time bomb as well!
Frowning and lost in her thoughts, Su Lin picked up her room keys and took the elevator to the 10th floor.
"Here are your bags madam. Please ring us for any further assistance." The hotel bellhop brought her attention back and politely left without bothering her more.
Closing the door behind her, Su Lin sighed as a mixture of emotions swirled within her.
But as soon as she saw the sight in front of her, Su Lin's mood immediately brightened up.
She was grinning cheek to cheek like a child enjoying the luxurious room and the wonderful ambiance. Now, this is how one is supposed to live!
The bed was so soft and fluffy. The sheets were silky smooth and pleasantly cool. She almost didn't want to get up from the bed at all.
Walking out to the patio, Su Lin noticed that the room also had an amazing view. It was early dusk and the brightly lit city looked magical.
She closed her eyes and sucked in a breath of fresh air.
Gazing at the lively city, she sat down in the patio chair and opened her bank documents to take a look at her funding status.
Even though the old Su Lin had been treated badly and disrespected, she still managed to save a little over a million yuan. You go, girl!
Apparently her grandpa had been giving her pretty generous birthday allowances.
Well, with this my plan should go at least a little bit smoother than expected.
She changed into a new set of clothes. Nothing fancy. Just another simple pair of jeans and a plain purple shirt.
Even the hotel staff's uniform looked better than what she was wearing!
Sigh .. I need better clothes...
Disappointedly shaking her head, Su Lin headed downstairs and hailed another cab.

Meanwhile...
"Does this have all the details ?", a stern and cold voice echoed in the silent room.
After a long pause, Shi Meng looked up with his magnetic eyes. "I don't have time for this nonsense. Give me a brief report."
Cautiously and nervously, the head butler narrated the happenings of that day.
"Young mistress came back home from the hospital in a rush and cleaned out her room. She then visited a bank and closed out her account, withdrawing all her savings."
"She even checked into the nearby Ritz and booked a room."
"Currently, she is in a Chinese medical shop. We have two men following her discreetly. I didn't want to confront her without your orders sir."
"She might be potentially planning to create a public scene this time around."
The butler finished his report, giving his prudent insights.
Gazing outside his gigantic office windows into the pitch-black night sky, Shi Meng indifferently replied, "Let her be."
He lazily picked up another file from his desk and started scanning through it.
That was his cue. The head butler slightly bowed and silently left the office.
As he was leaving, Shi Meng further added, "Though if she causes even a small commotion, immediately restrain her and bring her back to the manor."
For some reason, Shi Meng had an uneasy feeling about this whole situation.
Noticing his restlessness, the tall voluptuous woman standing next to Shi Meng, voiced her thoughts in a gentle harmonious tone.
"Umm... Sir... It is a bit worrisome and concerning that the young madam is so superstitious and naive in this day and age."
"Chinese herbal treatment might be good for the common cold but for terminal cancer? I sincerely hope madam doesn't eat anything weird and worsen her last few days."
Shi Meng's Chief Director Yin Yue tilted her head to a side looking very sympathetic.
But without even sparing her a glance, Shi Meng absentmindedly replied, "Hmm. Where are the Tianxin city bridge proposals ?"
"Here you go, Sir." Gritting her teeth, she handed over the files.
Shi Meng again buried himself in the new set of papers.
Such a workaholic... Disappointedly, Yin Yue closed the door and walked over to her desk.
Closing her eyes and rubbing her temples, she silently smirked, "Heh. Well, I hope she does. Bitch. Eat something weird and die a little sooner."
"Here I am ... Working hard like a madwoman at 8 in the night..."
"And shit! It looks like I might have to work a few more hours... But what do I get ?! Just a glance or a nod. It's been 5 years already."
"I have been with him from the start. But he still married that loser nobody. The world sure is not fair."
Loosening her long dark curls, which fell on her shoulders like a waterfall, Yin Yue fixed her glasses and focussed more on the documents in front of her.
She needed to do better... She needed to get his attention at least this time around ...
