Chapter 931: Naughty Child
After Chen Xuyao put away the phone, he stayed still for a few seconds. Then, he stood by the wall and sneakily leaned his ear against it; he wanted to see if he could hear anything from the other side.
Unfortunately, he was in a high-cla.s.s hotel, not a small hotel. Even if he put his ear into the wall, he would not be able to hear anything from the room next door.
Half a minute later, he straightened his back, rubbed the tip of his nose, stood in front of the mirror, and rearranged his clothes and hairstyle. Then, he walked out of the room and knocked on the room next door.
He had wanted to ask Chu Sheng why she had left Jingdo City without any word and avoided him. However, after he knocked on her door, no one answered it. He waited for a long time until a staff member, who pa.s.sed by him, said that the guest had just left the room.
Chen Xuyao was so frustrated that he did not even remember his basic manners. He just turned around and went to the third floor to look for Jiang Yao.
Even though he had not seen Chu Sheng for two months, he immediately recognized her when he saw her with Jiang Yao and two men.
Chen Xuyao was very conspicuous in the dining hall. Jiang Yao had noticed him when he arrived, but Chu Sheng’s head was lowered as she enjoyed her breakfast, so she did not see him. Jiang Yao said kindly, “Chen Xuyao is here. He rushed here in the middle of the night yesterday.”
Jiang Yao felt the need to confess. “I was the one who told him about you in Yuan City. I didn’t know that you were hiding from him when I called him, but he said that he had been looking for you.”
Chu Sheng nodded; she did not do anything else. She knew that Chen Xuyao would definitely catch up to her when she met Jiang Yao yesterday.
He had been quicker than she expected. Chen Xuyao sat beside Chu Sheng, but he did not say anything. He just looked at her with anger in his eyes.
“It’s a buffet; go to the front and get your own food.” Jiang Yao saw Chen Xuyao’s stiff expression, so she kicked him under the table discreetly and pretended to remind him about breakfast.
“I know.” Chen Xuyao did not sound polite; he was a little irritable because Chu Sheng had ignored him.
However, he did not get angry. He looked at Chu Sheng a few more times before he stood up and went to get some food.
He must have been destined to have a bad morning. On his way back to the table, a little boy ran into him, and his plate spilt onto his jacket. The boy snorted and left without an apology.
When Chen Xuyao was back at the table, he cursed under his breath. “F*ck! How rude! He looks like he’s 11 or 12 years old, and yet he still has such a bad att.i.tude!”
Then, he took off his coat and placed it on his knees. Finally, he lowered his head and ate his breakfast in a bad mood. Jiang Yao listened to his complaints, but her attention was drawn to the little boy’s family.
The boy did look like he was 11 or 12 years old. He had run back to his family after he b.u.mped into Chen Xuyao. He held a piece of ham in one hand and a gla.s.s of fruit juice in the other hand as he ate and drank.
Jiang Yao had excellent hearing. Even though the boy was a few meters away from her, she could still hear the girl, who sat next to the boy, as she whispered to him. She must have been his sister. “Don’t you know how to apologize when you b.u.mp into someone? Don’t you know that you’ve dirtied their clothes? The city folks wear expensive clothes; we might not be able to pay if they made a fuss about it.”
