Secretly Married to the Ice-Cold CEO

Chapter 25: Chapter 25 This Woman Really Has Guts

Li Hui had made up her mind. An Junxi claimed she was a guest, so either today her wallet would bleed out or her pride would be torn off. Coming to the hotel for a meal but unable to order the dishes would be utterly embarrassing.

An Junxi really forgot the name of the private room where she was supposed to have her meal; she only remembered it was on the seventeenth floor.

Li Hui’s disdain in her eyes deepened, but due to her position, she didn’t say anything more unpleasant.

"Miss An, you better go back and consider how to resolve my compensation issue. Don’t bother me at my workplace anymore. Any guest here is not someone you can bump into at will."

An Junxi was too angry to show any expression. She was bothering her? Was she kidding? Clearly, Li Hui had been the one to run up and question her first, right?

An Junxi checked the time; it was almost twelve o’clock. If she walked to the private room now, it would almost be mealtime.

She sneered and said, "I said I’m here for a meal, I just forgot the name of the private room I reserved."

Li Hui wished she could tear off An Junxi’s smiling face. That smile was truly obnoxious, and she was putting up a show. Private room? Did An Jun think this was some small diner?

Li Hui forced a smile, saying, "That’s simple. I’ll lead the way for you, Miss An. It’s all registered at the front desk."

An Junxi quickly said, "No need to bother the front desk, I roughly remember the route."

Feeling guilty? Li Hui wanted to see what tricks An Junxi could pull off.

Li Hui led the way in front, saying, "Not asking the front desk? Fine. I hope Miss An can really find the private room she reserved. Let me warn you ahead, our president is patrolling the hotel today. Don’t do anything embarrassing; it’s not just you losing face, but also making things difficult for our staff."

An Junxi gestured a fist at her back and then put it down when she turned around, rolling her eyes and returning to the elevator area. She directly pressed the button for the seventeenth floor.

Li Hui’s eyelids twitched, "Miss An, are you sure you didn’t press the wrong button?"

The seventeenth floor’s private rooms are not open to the public; each is top-notch luxury, mainly reserved for the corporate headquarters’ high-level leaders for dining or for entertaining clients during major business negotiations.

An Junxi remained silent. Li Hui followed her to the seventeenth floor as if escorting a prisoner. Seeing there was still some time left, An Junxi toured the entire seventeenth floor with Li Hui, and only when the estimated mealtime approached did she head straight to the private room where Yue Xiaoyang and others were located.

Dedicated attendants were standing at the private room’s door. Li Hui instantly knew the president was inside when she saw the setup. She grabbed An Junxi’s wrist and hissed, "Are you crazy? Our president is inside! Making a fuss without even checking the place!"

An Junxi reversed the grip on her wrist with a surprising amount of force, making it impossible for Li Hui to break free. She stepped forward and symbolically knocked a few times on the door, then forcefully pushed it open before waiting for a response.

It happened too suddenly. Several people at the dining table were just toasting the person at the head seat when they all turned their heads to look at her.

Li Hui was so scared that her legs went weak. She bowed and apologized nervously, "President, this lady insisted on coming in. I couldn’t stop her. It’s my fault. Please administer punishment!"

Gu Yikun sat at the head seat, his gaze lightly sweeping across An Junxi’s face.

Since seeing her at the hospital, this was the second time he saw her.

The injuries on her face had completely healed; her fair skin, delicate features, and bright eyes made her look more spirited than in the photos.

Gu Yikun showed a bit of interest. She was late but had managed to find out his whereabouts from Yue Xiaoyang, and now found her way to the hotel.

He was slightly curious about her next move.

The other executives at the table almost couldn’t hold their wine glasses properly. They were trembling in their seats, angrily glaring at Li Hui. Today’s surprise visit by the president had already been a shock. After finally finishing the hotel patrol with everything in order, the dining table atmosphere was decent. Now, just as they were about to safely conclude, she let a random person break into the private room!

What on earth were they doing?

Li Hui knew she was in deep trouble. She forcefully tugged at An Junxi, "Miss, leave now, or I’ll call security!"

An Junxi flung her hand away, "Mr. Yue invited me for a meal. Why should I leave?"

Yue Xiaoyang smiled as soon as An Junxi entered, but his smile faded seeing Li Hui’s rude behavior. Even before finishing the patrol, the lobby manager had mentioned that Miss An arrived. Upon reaching the private room without seeing An Junxi, even after the dishes were served, he thought his niece had run away out of fear of Gu Yikun. Unexpectedly, she had been blocked.

Yue Xiaoyang walked over and asked, "Niece, what’s going on?" Completely forgetting Gu Yikun’s earlier warning.

Hearing Yue Xiaoyang’s words, Li Hui stared at An Junxi in surprise.

An Junxi first greeted Gu Yikun and Yue Xiaoyang. Gu Yikun didn’t respond, and she didn’t mind. She told Yue Xiaoyang, "Manager Li blocked me from coming up, saying I can’t afford Huadun’s dishes."

Li Hui was suddenly lost for words. She did imply that, but hadn’t phrased it so harshly! An Junxi sure knew how to exaggerate!

Yue Xiaoyang frowned, glanced at Li Hui’s name tag, and asked the executives at the table, "Whose department is she from?"

A man drenched in sweat stepped forward, "Mr. Yue, Li Hui is the responsibility manager of my PR department."

Yue Xiaoyang said, "With her speaking this way to guests, I really doubt her capability in handling PR work. Not to mention Miss An was invited by me, even regular guests shouldn’t be treated this way. Don’t you agree?"

The man nodded repeatedly in agreement.

An Junxi appreciated Yue Xiaoyang’s cooperation. Her fondness towards him skyrocketed. They had only met a few times, but Yue Xiaoyang’s easy-going nature made her feel like they were longtime friends.

Seizing the moment, she said, "Mr. Yue, I feel embarrassed. I have some personal misunderstandings with Manager Li, so her attitude towards me is understandable. Besides, considering she demanded over a million in compensation from Si Yuan Education, which we haven’t been able to pay, it’s indeed inappropriate for me to be dining lavishly in a five-star hotel. However, since President Gu is here, I also want to plea to President Gu that misunderstandings between Si Yuan Education and Manager Li are personal. Please don’t use the name of the Gu Group to suppress us; our small company really can’t bear it!"

Gu Yikun started to seriously scrutinize An Junxi.

This woman had guts, coming to him to settle her debts.

Gu Yikun’s gaze pressured An Junxi, but she met it as calmly as possible, not yielding an inch.

Yue Xiaoyang couldn’t hold his temper as well as Gu Yikun. He loudly asked, "Who’s using Gu Family’s name to pressure you?"
