“Gu Liyuan….” Shu Yian nervously licked her lips and panic spread across her body.

“What does she look like?” Since it is not polite to outright ask if someone is fat or not, Shu Yian had to subtly get Yao Yao to describe her.

Yao Yao didn’t think much about her words and answered directly, “My cousin and I are quite similar, but she is much fatter than me.”

“What is your cousin’s social life like?” Shu Yian already knew the answer, but she still refused to believe it. Can it really just be a coincidence? That someone she wrote about suddenly appeared with the same name and body shape….

Could it be that her book has some sort of magical power?

“Jie-Jie has always been quite withdrawn and tends to not have many friends. Only Miss Lin Ge has been willing to hang out with her…..” Yao Yao didn’t know how to continue.

【Miss Lin Ge is a good person, so I have no reason to think she’s not, but】

【My cousin and her went on a trip together, and then my cousin disappeared after that trip. Yet she came back safe and sound…】

Yao Yao sighed and felt depressed in her heart. She didn’t want to say that she would only feel happy if both of them had an accident, but there was no doubt that her cousin disappeared when she was with her. Therefore, it is impossible for her to not hold any resentment towards Lin Ge.

“Let’s settle the situation with your boyfriend first and talk about this later.” Shu Yian’s mind blanked out for the moment. Time was running out, and as she had no idea what was going on about this matter nor could she solve this mystery right now, she did know that they had to hurry if they wished to catch that dog man.

Yao Yao’s car was driven by the boyfriend so the two had to take a taxi.

“So, Miss Shu, what did you see?” After getting into the car, Yao Yao clasped her hands tightly together as she asked this question. One could tell she was quite nervous at the answer.

Shu Yian told her the truth, “He never loved you. He approached you from the beginning with ulterior motives.”

These words might be cruel and some would argue she should have let her down gently, but Shu Yian believes that this man is not worthy of any soft lies. She has to be cruel if Yao Yao is to see his true face.

Once a girl falls in love, they tend to act rather self-deprecatingly. Perhaps the man doesn’t love you, but you still deceive yourself and convince yourself you can change him. So long as he treats you even a little bit better, you will still write his name into your future.

Shu Yian believes infatuated girls like this as naive, but also silly, for even a little hope could coax them into acting stupidly.

Yao Yao is obviously such a person, so she must pour cold water on her to make her give up completely.

Yao Yao pursed her lips, her expression dejected and she looked like she was about to cry as she spoke.

“Our family has a history of obesity, so my cousin and I both have rather low self-esteem. We don’t have many friends. When I first met my boyfriend, many girls liked him because he was so handsome, but he was the only one who was nice to me. He never disliked me for being fat and always complimented me as good-looking, Miss Shu, you might think I’m vain for I was comforted by just a few words, but I did gain a lot of confidence because of these few words.”

“So even though I felt something was wrong, that his sweet words were fake, and that he might be approaching me with ulterior motives…..I still wanted to feel like a princess. Like those fairy tales where I can live with my prince in a beautiful castle, and at the very least I can receive short-term happiness.”

Shu Yian heard the reluctance in her tone and said bluntly, “When you have money, you can live in any castle you want. But when he cheats you out of your money, you may only be able to live in a trash can to shelter from the wind and rain. While you live so miserably, you can only watch as he uses your money to eat, drink, and play with his lover. While he hugs his lover proudly and steps on your foot, you will only feel long-term pain.”

“If you are willing to exchange your short-term happiness for the possibility of long-term pain, I will not stop you.” One’s life is a road they must walk by themselves. Shu Yian will not help one make their choices, at most she will give them some pros and cons for each choice, but the final step must be up to them.

Yao Yao frowned and remained silent.

【These words may be cruel, but they are the truth……】

【Even if I’m aware of his true personality and guard myself against it, he’s still a dangerous wolf in the end and I will never be able to stop worrying.】

【Ai, forget it. For the sake of my own future, it’s better to break up.】

Shu Yian silently gave her a thumbs-up in her heart after hearing these words. Fortunately this girl hasn’t gone love-crazy yet and can still be saved.

The taxi drove them quickly to the Kerry Hotel and Zhou Yu was already waiting for them at the front as they got off.

Shu Yian walked up to the front desk, “Hello, I wish to book room 520.”

The receptionist at the front revealed a professional smile, “Very well, Miss. Please show me your ID card…”

Shu Yian: “….”

She went out for lunch, so why would she bring her ID with her?

She turned her head to look back at Yao Yao and Zhou Yu, “Did either of you bring your ID?”

Both of them looked back at her with a baffled face.

【Who carries they’re ID with them when they go out?】

But Zhou Yu quickly came up with a solution: “Miss Shu, this is one of President Su’s businesses. You should call her and ask her to send a message to the staff here.”

Shu Yian: “…..”

Fine! With how urgent things are, there is only this method left.

Although she knew that a certain someone would ask a lot of questions, she had no other choice. The three of them can’t just block the entrance to the hotel lobby all day.

Shu Yian walked over to a place where no one could hear her and then dialed Su Wen’s number. When she picked up, she said in a coquettish and begging tone, “Little Wenwen.”

“If you have something to say, just say it! Don’t act so disgusting!”

“Very well.” Shu Yian didn’t bother playing with her and got straight to the point, “Do me a favor. I don’t have my ID card on me so I can’t stay in a hotel without it. Send a little message to the staff at the Kerry Hotel and ask them to let me in.”

“Hotel?” Su Wen suddenly became anxious, “Who are you going to a hotel with?!”

“Shu Yian, you can’t mess around outside!”

“Me and Zhou Yu are here with her friend. The three of us came together.” She knows that Su Wen will definitely get angry and won’t help if she doesn’t explain clearly, so she continued,

“That friend of hers suspects her boyfriend is cheating on her, so I came to join in on the fun!”

“Why are you joining in on catching someone else’s boyfriend cheating?” Su Wen had a few more words she wanted to say but saved them for later.

Anyhow, cheating at a hotel….anyone with a brain knows what a cheating couple does at a hotel. What if Shu Yian accidentally sees something not suitable for children?

Therefore, she can not allow that situation to happen. Her stance is non-negotiable.

Shu Yian could hear her determined attitude and so could only placate her by telling her more details, “I’m not actually joining in on the fun. Our plan is just to place a camera in the room before the boyfriend arrives and get some evidence. Just tell the manager to let me in, it’s only going to be around 2 minutes. We are not going to delay anyone and we’ll definitely not cause you any trouble.”

Not going in?

Not going in is good.

“That’s fine!” Su Wen spoke, but then remembered something, “But you are not allowed to look at the contents of that camera!”

“Don’t worry, I don’t have such a hobby. Just hurry up and say something to the staff or else it’ll be too late.”

Su Wen reminded her again, “There are bad things on that camera. Shu Yian, I’ll say it again, don’t let curiosity get the best of you. Do not look at the contents of that camera.”

“Why are you nagging me like you’re my mother?”

Su Wen: “…..”

“After you set the camera up, find a place to wait for me. I’m coming over. Send the address to me later.”

“Got it!” Shu Yian then impatiently hung up the phone.

Why is this person so suspicious and not reassuring at all?

Three minutes later, a middle-aged man hurried into the lobby and looked over at the three of them, his eyes landing squarely on Shu Yian. He bowed deeply, “Miss Shu, right? Which room do you wish to go into?”

“Room number 520, please.”

Seeing the hotel manager’s attitude towards Shu Yian, Yao Yao finally realized that this Shu Yian is not a regular person.

Zhou Yu never mentioned Shu Yian’s true identity to her, only saying that“Miss Shu is good at divination” and so Yao Yao thought it was a coincidence that this Miss Shu had the same name as the infamous eldest young miss of the Shu family.

After all, she never heard anything about that person dabbling in divination….

When she met Shu Yian and saw her acting so politely, Yao Yao became even more convinced. She didn’t think Shu Yian was actually Su Wen’s fiancee and the daughter of the Shu family.

This just proves that rumors can’t be trusted. After all, this person is not at all as unbearable as the rumors say she is.

Zhou Yu bought a pen that had a hidden camera in it. This hotel is one where many business folks stay, so the hotel had many pen holders in the room. Shu Yian simply placed the pen with the other pens in the room and placed the pen holder next to the TV. This position was the best place to get a complete picture of the bed.

After doing all this, they left just as quickly as they arrived.

Yao Yao almost couldn’t believe it, “Miss Shu, did you even see the room number in your divinations?”

“Yes.” Shu Yian smiled, “I saw both the hotel and room number, therefore I brought you here.”

Since the other party is willing to play the divination card, she will follow along. She can’t actually come out and say she can read minds or else it will frighten people. After all, no one wants their thoughts to be spied on with nowhere to hide.

Although, in most circumstances, people aren’t thinking about their darkest secrets and so she can’t see them.

With the proper way she handled things, Yao Yao had already placed a few points of trust in her and the other parts of her trust came from the mystical feelings of divination. Whether it is psychology or magic, she didn’t think it was fake at all.

After all, she has never heard of fortune-tellers acting so boldly. Just how did an aristocratic young lady like Shu Yian master this art?

While Yao Yao was pondering over this, the manager spoke up, “Miss Shu, if there is nothing else on your side, then I will excuse myself first.”

As soon as Zhou Yu heard this, she looked at the time on her watch and hurriedly said, “I’m going to be late for work, so I have to go first, Miss Shu, Miss Yao, goodbye!”

“Bye!” Shu Yain and Yao Yao said in unison. Then the two looked at each other.

Although she is determined to break off this relationship, she still felt crestfallen at saying goodbye to her love like this. After all, she had spent many years in this relationship. Anyhow, Yao Yao still wanted to ask Shu Yian some things so she said, “Miss Shu, if you’re in no hurry to leave, how about we find a cafe and sit down for a cup of coffee?”

“En.” Shu Yian nodded. They found a coffee shop not too far away from here and she sent a text to Su Wen about the location as soon as they arrived.

“Miss Shu, what do you think I should do about all this?” Yao Yao couldn’t decide what she should do and so awkwardly brought up the topic.

“There are many ways to deal with this situation. You can call the police at 3:30 and report him for illegal prostituion, and have him still in jail for a few days.”

“Or wait a few days and then find an opportunity to send the video to his friends. Let them see his true disgusting personality and have them retaliate for you.”

“Of course, if you really can’t bear to do any of that, you can reluctantly forgive him and then cut him off for good. Although I personally don’t recommend this method.”

“Then what method would Miss Shu choose?” Yao Yao asked curiously.

Shu Yian took a sip of her coffee and then smiled lightly, “I would put him in jail first and then send the video to his friends. Then I will walk down my bright path while he walks the plank to his doom. The two of you will never interact with each other again. And then find eight or ten beauties and hug one in both your left and right arms. Of course, if you prefer men, you can go find a little wolf dog or milk dog instead.”

Su Wen, who had just arrived at the cafe, heard these words the moment she entered.

【Ten or eight beauties? And one in each arm?】

【Good, very good! I’ll satisfy this dream of yours!】

Shu Yian: “….”

Whoops. It seems her problems just got a little worse. It feels as if she will be targeted by a certain someone again.

I carry my IDs with me everytime I go out……is it just me?
