Captain Lu was aloof again today.

Chapter 168 Coke
Susan's head buzzed, her legs went weak, and she almost fell to the ground.

Seeing this, Wei Qingsong, who had been silently approaching, quickly reached out and supported her.

"Thank you..." Susan looked up, suppressing her dizziness, and thanked Wei Qingsong. After speaking, she hesitated for a moment, "Is there anything else, gentlemen?"

“We’re fine, but you haven’t been looking too good since just now. Do you need any help?” Wei Qingsong asked with concern.

"Thank you, but I don't need any help. You two should leave now." Susan tried to remain calm, waved to the two of them, and turned to leave.

"Hey!" Wei Qingsong called out, but Susan didn't turn around and walked straight toward the elevator.

Wei Qingsong watched her retreating figure, his brows furrowed, a hint of doubt rising in his heart.

Her reaction was very strange. Had something happened?
Susan arrived at the elevator door and pressed the elevator button. For the first time, she felt that the elevator was descending very slowly.

She knew that Xiaoya was definitely in their hands now, and she didn't even dare to think about what those bastards would do to Xiaoya.
If something really happened to Xiaoya... and the last thing she said to Xiaoya was to mock her and accuse her, she was a bastard too!

Xiaoya... no, she would never let anything happen to Xiaoya.

They...are going home together.

"It seems Xiaoya is in trouble." Lu Jingming said calmly, but a hint of anger flickered in the depths of his eyes.

He absolutely could not tolerate such a thing happening right under his nose.

Wei Qingsong's gaze fell on the receptionist named Cola, whose tears kept falling uncontrollably. Her shoulders were heaving, but she dared not cry out loud, only letting out soft sobs.

When they first arrived at the hotel and were talking to the two receptionists, she noticed that compared to Xiaoya, Kele was much more introverted. Xiaoya had been the one leading the conversation. Just now, when Xiaoya led them upstairs, Kele was anxiously calling Xiaoya's name from behind.

Introverted, timid, cowardly, and prone to crying are people whose psychological defenses are more easily broken down.

Compared to the bold Xiaoya and the shrewd Susan, Cola might be a good starting point.

She glanced at the soaking wet tissue in Cola's hand, her eyes flickered slightly, and took out a clean white handkerchief from her purse, handing it over.

"What happened? Why are you crying so hard?"

"I... hiccup, I can't say." Cola looked up at Wei Qingsong, then quickly turned her face away and whispered.

"Why can't you say it? Are you afraid of losing your job? If it's because of this, I promise you won't lose your job," Wei Qingsong gently comforted her.

"No...it's not that I'm afraid of losing my job." Cola's voice became even weaker.

"Why is that?" Wei Qingsong continued to ask.

"I... I dare not say." Cola's voice trembled slightly.

"It's okay, if you don't want to talk about it, I won't ask anymore. Look at you, your eye makeup is all messed up from crying, hurry up and wipe it off." Wei Qingsong did not adopt an aggressive questioning approach, but instead gently comforted her indirectly.

Cola cautiously raised her little face, her red eyeshadow smudged from crying, and her eyeliner was also a mess, making her look very disheveled.

Wei Qingsong handed her the handkerchief, revealing a faint smile.

Cola hesitated for a moment before finally taking it, hastily wiping away the tears from the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief.

"Thank you, thank you, beautiful sister." Cola's voice was very soft, almost like a mosquito's buzz.

Wei Qingsong smiled and looked in the direction of the elevator.

Susan was no longer there; she must have gone to the "sixth floor" that Coke mentioned.

She knew that something must be happening on the sixth floor of the hotel at this very moment.

She also knew that it was absolutely impossible for her and Lu Jingming to rush up there rashly.

Wei Qingsong looked away and asked casually, "Does that receptionist named Susan have a bad relationship with Xiaoya?"

“We ran into her at the elevator entrance just now. She had a fight with Xiaoya and was very disdainful of her. Now that Xiaoya isn’t here, she probably thinks Xiaoya is stealing her business. Look at how angry she is, she’s probably going to rush up and fight Xiaoya.”

"That's not how it is..." Cola's lips moved, as if she wanted to explain something, but didn't know where to begin.

"Alright, don't worry. We outsiders can't interfere with this kind of thing. I just hope Xiaoya doesn't suffer any losses. This Susan looks like she's not someone to mess with. Look at her, in this freezing weather, her cheongsam is slit up to her thighs. She doesn't look like someone to be trifled with." Wei Qingsong patted her shoulder to comfort her.

As Wei Qingsong's words became increasingly outrageous, Kele's eyes reddened even more.

Finally, she mustered her courage, closed her eyes, and said, "That's not true, Susan is a good person!"

"Oh?" Although she had expected Cola to react this way, Wei Qingsong still pretended to be surprised. "So you and Susan are friends. I thought you and Xiaoya were friends. Sigh, in that case, just pretend I didn't say anything. I can't comment on their conflict."

Lu Jingming's gaze swept across Wei Qingsong's face, his eyes full of gentle smiles.

His song goes fishing again.

Girls like Cola, who still have a bit of an innocent air about them, are always easier to hook up with.

She said almost without hesitation, "No, actually Susan and Xiaoya have no conflict. Susan has always taken good care of us. She and Xiaoya are from the same hometown and have known each other for a long time."

Wei Qingsong looked even more surprised: "Ah, there's actually this kind of relationship? Then why are they arguing? Seeing how tense they were, I thought they didn't like each other. If they're from the same hometown and work at the same hotel, shouldn't they support each other?"

Just now at the elevator entrance, she inadvertently saw Susan and Xiaoya arguing, and she vaguely sensed that the relationship between the two was probably not simple. She just didn't expect that they had known each other for a long time.

Cola was distracted by the topic and forgot to wipe her tears. She said blankly, "I don't know exactly what happened. Xiaoya complained to me before that she and Sister Susan were very good friends when they were young. However, Sister Susan knew how to please people, but she was unwilling to teach her. So Xiaoya thought she was very disloyal."

"But I think that Sister Susan probably doesn't want Xiaoya to be like the other girls, which is why she's unwilling to teach her. Apart from that, Sister Susan is usually very kind to us. She shares good food, drinks, and fun things with us. Even though she's a high-class host and different from us, she's not arrogant at all."
