Chapter 41: Grab Xie Wantang for Me

After entering the room, Su Nianchu first went to the mini‑fridge and got Xie Wantang a bottle of vegetable‑fruit juice, which she had juiced herself.

"Thank you, Designer Su." Xie Wantang took it with both hands.

"No need to thank me."

Su Nianchu sat down, turned on her work laptop, and showed Xie Wantang the design drawings she had prepared: "Miss Xie, click here and you can view the pages one by one. I'll go to the room and bring you the printed drawings."

"Alright, thanks."

"You're welcome."

Xie Wantang opened the pages one by one, seeing overall renderings as well as detailed renderings of each floor and each room.

Last time, Xie Wantang expressed the images in her mind and her requirements, and Su Nianchu absorbed them all; the first draft of this design made Xie Wantang very pleased.

She didn't expect Su Nianchu to work so fast and with such quality.

Truly worthy of a designer who won the New‑Wave Design Award.

Young and capable.

With that work speed and quality, it's no wonder they earn lots of money.

Living daily in a five‑star presidential suite, indulging in life at will.

Su Nianchu had already bound the printed renderings into a book for Xie Wantang's easy perusal.

Xie Wantang just received the design drafts and, thinking that besides her, Su Nianchu must have many other clients waiting, stood up to take her leave:

"Designer Su, I'll take the drawings home to look over. I'm quite satisfied; after I discuss with my husband, we can sign the cooperation agreement."

"Sure, no rush. You and your husband can look at them slowly." Su Nianchu said with a smile.

"Hmm, then I'll head back first."

"Okay." Su Nianchu nodded and escorted Xie Wantang to the door.

As Xie Wantang stepped out, before she could say goodbye, Madam Lu came out of the elevator with several men in black suits, angry.

Lifting her gaze and seeing Xie Wantang, Madam Lu pointed at her and coldly ordered, "You three, seize Xie Wantang for me."

"Yes, madam." The men in black suits replied in unison.

Xie Wantang: "……"

"Miss Xie, come in quickly and hide." Su Nianchu, quick‑eyed, before the black‑clad men could charge, reached out and pulled Xie Wantang back into her own room.

"Open the door, Xie Wantang, come out for me." Madam Lu was stunned; she didn't expect that on this floor someone would still intervene for Xie Wantang.

Xie Wantang daring to strike Lu Rourou, she must have swallowed a bear's heart and a leopard's gall.

Lu Rourou has grown so big, yet she never dared to lay a hand on her; Xie Wantang actually slapped her twice?

This Xie Wantang, whether she's possessed or what, this time she dared to attack Rourou; she definitely won't let her off easily.

Inside the room, Su Nianchu dialed her suite's private butler; soon, the private butlers of both suites arrived to counsel Madam Lu.

The domestic matters between Madam Lu and Xie Wantang are naturally beyond their jurisdiction.

However, Madam Lu's actions affect the hotel's guests, which is unacceptable.

If this were to be escalated to the old master and old lady, Madam Lu's behavior would also be unreasonable.

Yet, to defend Lu Rourou, Madam Lu disregards counsel and refuses to listen.

She continues to pound on Su Nianchu's door with force.

Xie Wantang is grateful to Su Nianchu for intervening in time, but she is also a narrow‑minded person; she does not want her affairs to cause Su Nianchu any trouble.

"Designer Su, let me go out instead; that person is my mother‑in‑law, not really a bad person."

Xie Wantang knows that if Lu Rourou goes back to complain, Madam Lu's reaction will be huge.

Originally she thought she would call her, have her return to explain face‑to‑face, or force her to apologize to Lu Rourou in person.

Xie Wantang truly did not expect Madam Lu this time to react so violently, even bringing a bodyguard to the door to seize her.

She does this because she fears Xie Wantang won't obediently return to hear her scolding?

Also, when she went to the old mansion last time, she already behaved less obediently than before, more controllable.

Su Nianchu still worries about Xie Wantang and offers a sincere suggestion: "Is that person your mother‑in‑law? She looks fierce. How about you call your husband and let him handle it?"

"Hmm, of course I'll call him, but I have a small favor and need your help. I wonder if Designer Su is willing?" Xie Wantang's fox‑like eyes glimmered with a hint of cunning.

Su Nianchu saw through the unabashed calculation inside.

For some reason, she felt the person being schemed against was bound to have bad luck.

"Alright, I'm willing, tell me." Su Nianchu nodded.

"Thank you, Designer Su. I think after this, the two of us can become friends. Once this is over, I'll invite Qiu Qiu and you to a big dinner."

Su Nianchu was not very interested in the grand promise; she thought solving the immediate thorny problem was paramount: "Meals are trivial; first resolve the current predicament."

"Hmm."

Xie Wantang called Lu Yanshen; this time Lu Yanshen answered instantly: "Xie Wantang, what's wrong?"

"I'm at the hotel, next door in Designer Su's room. Your mother‑in‑law brought several bodyguards to capture me, Lu Yanshen, I'm not feeling well."

"Got it, stay in their room for now; they won't dare to break in. I'll be there right away."

After hanging up, Lu Yanshen coldly urged Pei Xiao: "Pei Xiao, find a way, take another route, push through."

"Yes, Director Lu."

"……"

Xie Wantang then realized that Lu Yanshen and his party were blocked on the road?

At this point, can Sijiucheng still have traffic jams?

Where are they, Lu Yanshen and Pei Xiao?

She hung up, Xie Wantang's fox eyes flashed again.

She dialed another number and called out.

During that time, Su Nianchu kept standing at the doorway, trying to call the hotel's on-duty manager, asking him to quickly persuade the people causing a disturbance at her door to leave.

Just then, Xie Wantang, having timed it, went out alone; under Su Nianchu's worried gaze, she turned back and gave Su Nianchu a reassuring look.

Turning her gaze back toward Madam Lu and those few clueless bodyguards, the gentleness Su Nianchu showed was instantly replaced by sternness.

Su Nianchu couldn't rest easy about her; she didn't let Xie Wantang close the door, instead sticking to the doorframe, ready at any moment to support Xie Wantang.

"Dear mother-in-law, is there anything that can't be discussed properly? Why come to the hotel to cause a scene? Do you have any idea how damaging this would be for the hotel?"

"If word of today's incident gets out, aren't you afraid Lu Clan Group's stock will plummet?"

Madam Lu, unfazed by the threat, snorted coldly and said, "Xie Wantang, stop trying to intimidate me. If you can't explain clearly why you slapped Rourou twice, this matter won't be settled."

"Is that so?" Xie Wantang curled the corner of her mouth, her voice icy, "What exactly does Madam Lu want me to explain?"

With a ding, the elevator doors opened again; the instant Xie Wantang saw the old steward from the family residence, who could represent the patriarch, walk out, she rolled her eyes, then slowly fainted, collapsing to the ground in slow motion.
