Hong Kong Nights of Passion

Chapter 13 Your friend has fallen in love.
"Que?"

Wen Jinnian raised an eyebrow, surprised that she had actually used her brain this time.

Suspicion has fallen on her.

"You're the one who poured a bucket of water on me in the bathroom," Fan Tong said with absolute certainty.

All eyes turned to Wen Jinian, and there she was.

She covered her mouth and chuckled, "I'm so sorry, Miss Fan, I thought you fell into the toilet pit, you smell like that."

Fan Tong blushed at Wen Jin Nian's words, "I'll go and ask the hotel staff to check the surveillance footage right now to see if you went into the restroom after me!"

Unexpectedly, this person who usually seemed rather dim-witted actually came up with the idea of ​​checking the surveillance footage, and Wen Jinnian couldn't help but look at her with new respect.

I did forget to check if there were security cameras outside the hallway when I went to the restroom.

On the surface, she remained calm and said, "Okay, go ahead and investigate."

At this moment, Fu Yiyi grabbed Wen Jinian's arm worriedly and whispered, "Niannian, could it really be you?"

Wen Jinnian gently reassured her, "Don't worry, it's alright."

But she knew in her heart that if the surveillance footage were actually retrieved, it wouldn't just be a matter of her going to the restroom. She was dragged into the men's room for so long, and what happened during that time would easily be criticized.

Fan Jian called his staff to check the surveillance footage.

Fu Yiyi reached out and grabbed Wen Jinnian's hand. "Niannian, don't be afraid. If she dares to cause trouble, I'll call my dad right away, and he'll definitely be able to handle it!"

Wen Jinnian felt a warmth in her heart and nodded with a smile, replying, "Don't worry, I know what I'm doing."

Hotel staff brought over a tablet in less than five minutes.

Fan Tong stared at the surveillance footage on the tablet, a smug grin spreading across her face, and excitedly pointed at Wen Jinnian, shouting.

"See that? The surveillance evidence is irrefutable! Wen Jin, let's see how you deny it now! You have to compensate me for the haute couture dress and the limited edition Hermes bag!"

Wen Jinnian glanced at the Hermes "Gray House in the Courtyard" in the other person's hand, and her fingertips unconsciously curled up.

The Hermès Birkin 20 house bag typically retails for over 30 yuan at boutiques. However, in actual purchases, it often requires acquiring other items at a high price.

Moreover, this bag is a limited edition worldwide, worth at least 200 million, which is equivalent to a house!
She sighed heavily, biting her lower lip so hard it almost bled. She was filled with regret, wishing she had followed Fan Tong outside after today's events.

The pain in her heart spread from her fingertips, and she wanted to slap herself twice.

Her $50, which she had barely received at the bank, was about to disappear again.

There's a sense of powerlessness, like a slap that can't reach the screen.

"Miss Fan, you can eat whatever you want, but you can't say whatever you want. Look, Niannian is just following behind you in the lobby, but she hasn't gone into the women's restroom!"

Fu Yiyi's words brought Wen Jinian back to her senses.

A hint of surprise flashed in Wen Jinnian's eyes.

She walked quickly to Fu Yiyi's side, leaned forward, and stared at the tablet screen.

In the footage, only Fan Tong enters the restroom.

Clearly, this video has been tampered with.

She scanned her surroundings warily but found no suspicious figures.

"Who do you think you are? Believe me or not, I'll make sure you can't stay in the port area!"

Enraged by Fu Yiyi's words, Fan Tong's face turned pale and then red, her features almost contorted into a grimace.

Wen Jinnian pulled Fu Yiyi behind her, her tone indifferent, "Miss Fan, can we leave now?"

"Don't think this is the end of it!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Fan Tong glanced at the tablet out of the corner of her eye and suddenly pointed at the screen, exclaiming, "Wait, why did Wen Jinnian go into the men's restroom?"

Everyone stared in disbelief, scanning the screen and Wen Jinnian. Fan Tong burst into a shrill laugh: "Haha! Wen Jinnian, you can't even tell the difference between men's and women's restrooms? What are you pretending to be so high and mighty for! Is the men's restroom something special?"

She puffed out her chest, her earlier humiliation vanished, and she began to swagger around again.

Wen Jinian originally had a slight liking for the mysterious person who helped her behind the scenes.

But the thought that the other party had used a selfish prank to leave behind the video instantly killed any goodwill towards them.

She twitched the corner of her mouth, glanced at Fan Tong, and said with a half-smile, "It's nothing special. After all, I'm also a young woman going into a men's restroom for the first time." "If you really want to create buzz, Miss Fan falling into the squat toilet herself would be more interesting!"

Wen Jinian speaks softly and has a pleasant voice. She also has a pure and innocent appearance. As soon as she speaks, everyone finds that what she says makes a lot of sense.

Fan Tong was so angry she almost vomited blood.

Wen Jinnian was delayed by something at the entrance, so she had to find another time to go to the Arc de Triomphe Shopping Mall.

The afternoon sunlight slanted through the Peninsula Hotel's floor-to-ceiling windows, dancing on the man's smooth hair.

He had his head down and was slowly wiping his well-defined fingers with a wet tissue.

Shen Yu had just hung up the phone and turned around when he witnessed this scene, and couldn't help but sigh, "A beauty who doesn't even realize it."

No wonder so many people are fascinated by him; even his casual movements are pleasing to the eye.

He stepped forward and asked, "Yige, I'm just curious, since you've already helped Miss Wen, why did you deliberately add that video in?"

Shen Yu was referring to the scene where Wen Jin read aloud the part about going into the men's restroom, but he had Duan Jiayan change it.

"Keep the original video, waiting for someone's third thank you!"

Chi Yige's gaze fell on Wen Jinnian, who had just opened her car door outside the Peninsula Hotel, and the corners of his mouth turned up slightly.

Shen Yu felt bored with his cryptic banter and got down to business.

"Someone tried to use connections to collaborate with the group on the Lamma Island resort project."

Before he finished speaking, Chi Yige had already taken a step forward. "You should send someone to conduct due diligence first."

As he walked, he pondered, "After assessing its feasibility, we'll schedule a time to discuss the cooperation in detail."

Shen Yu immediately nodded in agreement, and before the other party could speak, he continued, "How about we get together at a bar tonight? After the news of your return to China spread, many old classmates wanted to catch up. It would also be a good opportunity for us to recruit some young talent and inject fresh blood into the team."

After a brief moment of contemplation, Chi Yige nodded: "Okay, you arrange it."

The Peninsula Hotel was enveloped in a damp atmosphere. Shen Yu nimbly opened the driver's side door and got in, while Chi Yige sat down in the back seat.

The sound of the engine broke the silence as the car slowly entered the traffic.

Chi Yige looked up, his gaze behind his glasses unusually serious: "Shen Yu, do all girls really like bags?"

"What?"

Shen Yu slammed on the brakes in the red-light district, and their eyes met in the rearview mirror. "You really like Wen?"

"You talk a lot of nonsense."

His fingertips unconsciously caressed the French cuffs, and with a graceful movement, the 18-karat white gold cufflinks were faintly visible on his wrist.

The cufflinks, valued at over $400 million, were known as the 'world's most expensive cufflinks,' and he wore them openly.

Shen Yu only hesitated for a moment before withdrawing his gaze and turning the steering wheel halfway around in his palm: "Girls, you know, believe that 'a bag can cure all ills.' Put a Hermes Birkin bag on the table, and I guarantee her eyes will light up, and she'll want to give you her heart."

Chi Yige tapped the window control button with his fingertips. As the glass slowly slid down, the salty sea breeze, carrying the sound of a ship's horn, rushed into the car.

The Star Ferry's propeller churned the sea surface, leaving long streaks of light in its silvery tails before disappearing back into the shimmering blue waves.

He rested his elbow on the window frame, gazing at the Tsim Sha Tsui Clock Tower piercing the low-hanging clouds across the water.

Chi Yige's Adam's apple bobbed slightly, and the pent-up breath in his chest, mixed with the sea breeze, was exhaled.

After a long silence, he adjusted his glasses and said, "I have a friend..."

"Which friend of yours..." Shen Yu's teasing words were choked back by the sudden drop in temperature.

"It's you!" Shen Yu thought to himself quietly.

A chill ran through Chi Yige, and he quickly changed his tune: "Okay, okay, your friend! And then!"

"Every time he saw that girl, he couldn't help but want to understand her."

Chi Yige's voice lowered, and he tapped his knuckles on the car window, "So this counts as liking it?"
