The Easton Hotel was booked for the two of them by Lu Sen.
The fashion show venue was also near the Easton Hotel, making it convenient for them to rest.
An hour later, they arrived at the hotel.
Without giving Su Meiyi any chance to ramble, Meng Jingwei went straight to the front desk to deal with the staff and get the room cards.
Her fluent American English made Su Meiyi a little jealous.
Although she had graduated from a prestigious university, her English level was just average.
Abroad, she could barely communicate with people, and sometimes couldn't express her thoughts perfectly.
And Meng Jingwei, with her tall stature and innate beauty, simply wearing a black trench coat, a white sweater, and black pants, her simple and casual pairing exuded the aura of a fashion supermodel, truly making Su Meiyi jealous.
The two went upstairs. After exiting the elevator, Meng Jingwei placed her suitcase in front of Su Meiyi and handed her the room card. "Our rooms are one to the east and one to the west. Here's your room card."
Su Meiyi, with her bag slung over her wrist, looked left and right and said arrogantly, "You are my assistant now. Shouldn't you be taking my luggage to my room? You're too incompetent."
Meng Jingwei's red lips curved slightly. She didn't say anything, just casually placed the room card on top of Su Meiyi's luggage and turned to leave carelessly.
"Meng Jingwei? Come back here and quickly take my luggage to my room." Su Meiyi stood rooted to the spot, yelling at Meng Jingwei.
The young woman turned and left, without looking back.
Furious, Su Meiyi stomped her foot. "Hmph, I'm definitely telling Brother Lu that you're abandoning me as soon as we got to Country C."
Bang!
Meng Jingwei swiped her card, entered the suite, and slammed the door shut.
She couldn't be bothered to listen to Su Meiyi's nagging.
After a long journey, she felt stiff all over. She did some simple exercises in the room and then lay down on the bed.
Checking the time, it was late night in Lan Cheng, but bright daylight in Country C.
Having slept the entire way on the plane, Meng Jingwei wasn't sleepy. Instead, she lay on the bed scrolling through her phone and checked the relevant information about the fashion show in Country C in the Hua Yu Media group chat.
After playing for a while, Meng Jingwei found it boring.
Just as she was about to get up and go out, her phone rang in her pocket.
"Who's calling this late at night?"
Anyone who could contact her was naturally from China, and it was already late night in China.
Could it be Qing Muye?
She took out her phone, and the screen displayed Han Junyan's phone number.
Why was he calling at this hour?
Puzzled, Meng Jingwei answered the call. "Junyan, why are you calling me so late?"
"You're in Los Angeles, Country C?"
Han Junyan was handling his work, returned home very late, and hadn't slept yet. He was chatting with Chu Xue when he learned that Meng Jingwei was on a business trip to Los Angeles.
Thinking of her identity, Han Junyan couldn't help but feel a bit worried.
"Yes, what's wrong?"
From Han Junyan's serious and direct opening, Meng Jingwei vaguely guessed that something was wrong.
"No, it's nothing. I just wanted to tell you that it's very chaotic over there, so try to go out less if you can."
After impulsively calling Meng Jingwei, Han Junyan didn't know how to explain it to her.
He was worried that Meng Jingwei's identity might be discovered in Country C. If she were captured as Li Yun'er and tested, and the truth was revealed, everything would be ruined.
"...Is that so?" Meng Jingwei was half-believing.
Han Junyan had no choice but to say, "Actually, Li Yun'er offended someone in Los Angeles. So, when you go out, it's best to wear makeup and try not to be mistaken. It would be terrible then."
After much thought, this was the only clumsy excuse he could come up with.
"Made enemies?" Meng Jingwei knew that Li Yun'er had gone abroad for a while, during the time she was doing charity work.
She just didn't expect her to make enemies abroad.
She believed him and was even grateful that Han Junyan had specifically told her behind Li Yun'er's back.
"Thank you, Junyan. I'll treat you to a meal when I get back in a couple of days."
"You're welcome, it's my duty."
After a few pleasantries, they hung up the phone.
Meng Jingwei had originally planned to go out, but on second thought, to avoid causing trouble, she decided to stay in the hotel and play games.
That day, Su Meiyi didn't speak to her at all.
Late at night, Lu Sen called, ostensibly to scold Meng Jingwei, but actually to tell her that Su Meiyi had a bad temper and not to blame her too much, and to be more accommodating.
Meng Jingwei didn't take it to heart. She hung up the phone and started adjusting to the time difference by sleeping.
However, she only slept for two hours before waking up again.
Meng Jingwei suddenly thought of Qing Muye's words, and her little face blushed.
What a joke!
Could it be that she really needed to have an intense session with Qing Muye to help her sleep?
No, absolutely not. It must be because she was picky about beds.
After that, she washed up briefly, applied some European-style makeup, and it was convenient and quick to go out.
However, when she stood in front of Su Meiyi, Su Meiyi's gaze kept appraising her. She felt that this 'foreign girl' looked somewhat familiar but couldn't recall where she had seen her.
As she got off the elevator with other hotel guests, Su Meiyi's phone suddenly rang.
She answered the call. "Yun'er?"
"Mmm-hmm, don't worry, I'm staying in the same hotel as that little bitch Meng Jingwei."
"Okay. Abroad, being unfamiliar with the place, I must make sure she behaves."
"But Yun'er, you have to keep your promise to me, okay?"
"Hahaha, okay, I knew you were the best to me."
Su Meiyi hung up the phone triumphantly and muttered, "This bitch, she still hasn't come down. She's actually making me wait for her. Damn it!"
As she cursed, she took out her phone to call Meng Jingwei.
Coincidentally, the phone of the 'foreign girl' standing beside her rang. The ringtone was the most popular music in China.
Su Meiyi frowned, glanced at the 'foreign girl', then turned back and continued her phone call.
As the 'foreign girl', Meng Jingwei held her phone and couldn't help but smile.
Yesterday, Han Junyan had called her and told her to be careful abroad.
To avoid causing trouble, Meng Jingwei had deliberately applied European-style makeup.
But little did she know, this casual move actually allowed her to overhear such an interesting conversation.
She just didn't expect that Li Yun'er and Su Meiyi were collaborating.
And they were deliberately plotting against her.
"So annoying, she hung up on me!"
Su Meiyi was so angry her face turned green.
Just as she was about to call Meng Jingwei again, the 'foreign girl' walked up to her, raised her hand, and patted her shoulder. "Sister Su, were you an orphan since childhood?"
The sudden voice of the 'foreign girl', exactly like Meng Jingwei's, made Su Meiyi jump.
"You... you... you're Meng Jingwei?"
"Surprised? Shocked?"
Meng Jingwei's fiery red lips curved into a faint smile. "Tsk, tsk, tsk... Birds of a feather flock together. Only an idiot like Li Yun'er would ask you to scheme against me, and you even exposed your identity in front of me. Sigh, so useless."
"I... you..."
Su Meiyi stammered, unable to say anything for a long time.
The awkwardness and embarrassment of being caught red-handed were fully displayed on Su Meiyi's face.
