Chapter 267 Invitation
"Go call Han Xuemei out for me right now. I want to confront her in person. How dare she deceive me? And she took quite a lot of money from me back then."
It was only at this moment that Lu Xinyao realized she had truly been fooled.
That damned Han Xuemei, not only did she swindle so much money from her, but she got it for nothing.
She couldn't even take her to court!
"This is a matter between you two. Please resolve it yourselves. If you keep pestering me in my hotel, I'll have no choice but to call security to throw you out. You'll end up just like those reporters outside."
Lin Yi pointed to the reporters outside who had already been driven away by the security guards he had called in.
They couldn't break into a private residence, so all they could do was make a ruckus outside.
But they stood no chance against the strength of so many bodyguards and were thus sent packing.
However, they didn't leave but continued to stake out at the entrance.
They had to capture the breaking news because, if such a story was released, it would definitely shock the entire city!
"You! I don't care, Lin Yi. After all, it's your family's private affair. Someone from your family has scammed me, so why don't you take responsibility? I can't even get in touch with her now; she has blocked me. Otherwise, why would I come looking for you?"n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
Lu Xinyao once thought she had finally gained some advantage from Han Xuemei. Your journey continues with empire
But to her shock, she was deceived yet again, swindled to the point of losing everything she had left. She was truly out of money.
That was why she had no choice but to come looking for Lin Yi.
"Don't you try playing the victim here. If my wife sees this, she might get the wrong idea. I don't want my wife to misunderstand, so you better leave quickly. It's your issue; you go find her and sort it out. I can't help you get in touch with her, and as of now, she is no longer part of our family."
Lin Yi wasn't about to go soft just because a woman shed tears in front of him.
He wasn't very familiar with this woman, so he saw no need to clean up her mess.
She hadn't considered the consequences when she acted, nor had she investigated properly before carelessly signing a contract with someone. That was solely her own fault.
Just like that, Lu Xinyao was sent packing by Lin Yi. She stood outside the hotel, dazed.
It was infuriating, all because of that wretched woman!
If it weren't for her, how could she have ended up in such an embarrassing situation?
And that woman had swindled so much money from her!
No, she had to find Han Xuemei.
Before that, she needed to curry favor with Han Xuewei.
Only with Han Xuewei's help could she get Lin Yi's assistance in locating that woman.
Lu Xinyao had never interacted with Han Xuewei before; even their encounters were nothing more than a nod of acknowledgment.
Suddenly having to approach Han Xuewei was embarrassing for Lu Xinyao, but at this critical juncture, she must recover her money!
No matter, she would just have to grit her teeth and do it!
After steeling herself, Lu Xinyao dialed Han Xuewei's number, which she had inadvertently learned from Han Xuemei before.
"Hello, who is this?"
After Han Xuewei picked up, her close friend suddenly didn't know what to say.
"Um, is this Han Xuewei? I'm your friend. I was hoping to talk to you—can we meet up for a meal or maybe a coffee?"
Lu Xinyao blurted out everything she had wanted to say in one breath.
Han Xuewei was a bit surprised, what could this guy possibly want from her all of a sudden?
And wasn't she one of Han Xuemei's people? Suddenly contacting her, could it be some sort of conspiracy?
After some thought, Han Xuewei ultimately decided not to report this matter to Lin Yi; she hoped she could solve some issues independently.
So, Han Xuewei accepted her close friend's invitation.
After Lin Yi received the documents from the waitstaff, he finally allowed them to go to finance to report their earnings.
After all, these people had it tough, and if they ended up not receiving any payment for their work, it would be quite difficult to handle.
Furthermore, if they were to band together to make trouble, Lin Yi would also have a hard time resolving the situation.
"Alright, now you can leave, this matter no longer concerns you. I also hope you won't get involved in the future; otherwise, I truly won't be able to save you again."
Having obtained what he wanted, Lin Yi waved his hands, signaling that they could leave.
They quickly got up and left, all heading towards finance to report their earnings.
They had to leave quickly, this place of contention.
They couldn't stay here any longer, otherwise, they would lose everything they had.
They just wanted to make some quick money, not realizing they would get entangled in a family feud.
After Lin Yi collected the documents, he locked the hotel doors before leaving, unaware that the reporters were still waiting outside.
Since they couldn't do anything to Lin Yi, they started targeting the waitstaff instead.
Scared by their actions, the waitstaff stood frozen on the spot, not daring to move.
Lin Yi shook his head helplessly, sighed, and then walked over to the group, helping the waitstaff out of the encirclement.
"It seems my words weren't clear enough just now; you didn't understand my point. There's no need for you to stay here any longer. Do you understand? If you don't leave now, I will call the police and have you arrested. After all, you are seriously interfering with my business now, and these people are my employees. You have no right to block them here."
As Lin Yi spoke, his face was stern, and the reporters were intimidated by his presence.
They each held their microphones, unsure of what to do next, and ultimately, they could only leave reluctantly.
The waitstaff thanked Lin Yi and quickly departed; they couldn't stay there any longer, those people were too frightening.
Lin Yi had planned to go home directly, but he was worried about his business and decided to check on the pharmaceutical factory.
After work, Han Xuewei went straight to meet her close friend.
Upon arriving at the agreed-upon location, Han Xuewei easily spotted that woman in the café.
She seemed plain and unassuming, not like someone who would collude with Han Xuemei.
After all, one could tell from the first glance that Han Xuemei was no simple character.
But this girl gave off an impression of innocence.
"You must be the close friend, right? What do you want from me? If there's something you need, just speak directly. We didn't seem to have any interaction before, and I remember you were always with Han Xuemei."
Han Xuewei sat opposite Lu Xinyao, ordering a cup of the coffee she usually liked.
Actually, Lu Xinyao was very nervous; she didn't know how to face Han Xuewei.
Standing by Han Xuemei's side in the past, she was essentially an enemy of Han Xuewei.
"I was indeed with Han Xuemei before."
