"Perhaps this situation made him increasingly arrogant, leading to the verbal conflict with you.
Another point is that Xiao Fan wanted to stand up for his cousin. Seeing you with Xu Liping, he felt displeased.
Regardless, I feel that both he and his father are getting a bit full of themselves now.
The slaps Ye Zi gave them were timely, and your words, I believe, will definitely jolt both my elder brother and his son awake."
Xu Dahai said.
"As long as you don't blame me and Ye Zi."
"What are you saying? How could I possibly do that? I'm grateful to you both."
Guo Xuyang subtly sensed that what Xu Dahai said was sincere, so he smiled faintly and didn't dwell on the topic.
"Shall we go out? We've worked up a sweat in here, feeling so comfortable all over."
"Let's go. We'll find a couple of beautiful girls to give you a good massage." Xu Dahai said, pushing the door open and leaving.
At this time, Xiao Yun and a few others were experiencing the steam bath, led by a host.
They hadn't gone to the sauna room, finding steam baths more comfortable than saunas. The group followed the host to the steam room.
A steam room is also a confined space, but it's lined with special materials and heated by electricity, said to have beauty-enhancing and health-benefiting effects.
The women lay on thin bath towels inside, letting their bodies gradually heat up and sweat.
"Xiao Yu, how did you meet Yang Zi back then?" Xiao Yun asked.
"This..." Xiao Yu was surprised by Xiao Yun's question and didn't know how to answer.
"Xiao Yu met General Manager Guo at Anran Grand Hotel back then.
She was kidnapped as a child and brought to Anran Grand Hotel, where she initially worked as a greeter and receptionist, before being sent upstairs to serve the powerful.
As it happened, she met General Manager Guo on her very first occasion." Xu Liping said from the side.
Xiao Yu looked gratefully at Xu Liping.
"However, all those people were brought to justice, and the kidnapped individuals were repatriated.
Xiao Yu has no family left, so General Manager Guo arranged for her to accompany me and work in Shanghai." Xu Liping continued.
"Yang Zi was rather vague when he told me about meeting Xiao Yu. He just asked me to look after her.
I know Yang Zi tends to be very fond of his women, which is why I asked.
Xiao Yu, please don't mind." Xiao Yun said.
"Not at all, Yun Jie. Thank you for your concern." Xiao Yu quickly replied.
"Think about what I mentioned this morning. If you're amenable, you can start by learning from Liping and then take over Anran Grand Hotel.
Liping is also very busy and truly can't spare the time.
As for who will take over the antique shop, you and Liping can discuss it.
Of course, if you don't want to manage the hotel and prefer to continue as store manager, that's fine too.
It's all up to you. Did Yang Zi mention another person named Xiao Hong?"
"Yes, Xiao Hong went back to university."
"Yang Zi told me he has a position as the general manager of Xinglong Group reserved for her.
I haven't met her, so I don't know where she's from?"
"I heard her say she was kidnapped on her way to university in Sucheng. She never mentioned where her hometown is," Xiao Yu said.
"Do you have her phone number?"
"I remember Sister Ping helped us get phone cards back then. I forgot to save her number. I haven't contacted her since she left."
"Let me see if I have it," Xu Liping said, looking through her phone. "I have it here, it's 13..."
"Call her and ask her where she is now and what her hometown is. I need to follow up on this," Xiao Yun said.
"Hold on, I'll ask," Xu Liping said, dialing Xiao Hong's number.
"Xiao Hong? It's Xu Liping."
"Hello, General Manager Xu."
"Where are you now?"
"I'm at home. What's up? General Manager Xu."
"Haven't you gone to school?"
"No. I can only go in September when the semester starts."
"Where is your home?"
"It's in Pengcheng, Sujiang."
"General Manager Guo and the others came over today. They said they haven't contacted you in a long time and wanted to know if you've started school yet."
"The school asked me to continue my previous studies in September. So I'm reviewing my lessons at home right now."
"Alright then, you carry on. When you have time, come over and visit. Xiao Yu is still here."
"Okay, General Manager Xu. I'll come over when the weather gets a bit warmer," Xiao Hong said, patting her stomach.
"Then I won't bother you anymore. Goodbye!"
"Goodbye!"
After hanging up, Xu Liping said, "Xiao Hong is in her hometown in Pengcheng. The school asked her to resume her studies in September."
"Is that so? When we go back, let's make time to visit her and see if she needs any help?"
Xiao Yun looked at Ye Zi and Yu'er and said.
"No problem, we don't have anything pressing. Just jot down her number,"
Ye Zi flipped over and changed her position.
"I've already noted it down. How is it? Are you done? Shall we go out?"
"Let's wait a bit longer. I don't feel like I've sweated enough yet?" Ye Zi said.
Here, she felt as if she had returned to the Nine Netherworld. Her body felt light and comfortable, indescribably pleasant, making her reluctant to leave.
"Physical constitutions differ, so the effects of steaming also vary.
Anyone who feels they're done steaming can come out with me.
I'll take everyone for beauty treatments and body spas, including massages, back scrubs, and foot care." The host said.
"Has the handsome guy I requested arrived?" Ye Zi asked.
"He's already scheduled for you. He's ready to serve you whenever you're ready to go out."
"That's good. Let him rest a bit longer. I feel a bit reluctant to leave."
"If you wish, you can have him come over first to give you a back massage, foot scrub, and a regular massage. You can have the body spa after you go out."
"That's great, then call him over. The space here is large anyway."
"You're only thinking about your own comfort. That handsome guy is going to suffer. It's so hot in here, massaging you, won't he turn into a sweaty mess?" Xiao Yun said.
"I'm paying for the service, not like I'm not paying him. I'll pay him extra later."
"It's not your money anyway," Yu'er said.
"Whose money it is doesn't matter. What matters is to make myself comfortable.
Since we're here to relax, we should do whatever feels comfortable.
If the handsome guy suits my fancy, perhaps something more than friendly might happen," Ye Zi said shamelessly.
"Aren't you afraid Yang Zi won't let you off the hook?"
"Tch. Do you think he'll be idle over there? He might have even more fun than me," Ye Zi pouted.
No one objected to Ye Zi's statement.
Yang Zi, who was currently receiving a massage, involuntarily sneezed.
"Who's thinking of me?" he muttered.
"Sir, are you feeling a bit chilly? Would you like me to increase the temperature?" the technician asked deferentially.
"It's fine, this is good," Guo Xuyang said, glancing at the scantily clad technician.
