Chapter 1447 - 1448: Intentional

However, fate sometimes works out that way; the more you avoid seeing someone, the more you end up meeting them in the strangest way.

Gu Juan never thought that she would run into Lv Guoqing just by taking out the trash.

Though earlier today when Lv Guoqing arrived at the hotel, she had cautiously observed him from behind a pillar.

Admittedly, when he didn’t speak, Lv Guoqing seemed no different from a normal person; even when he did speak, his reaction was just a bit slower.

Nothing in his demeanor suggested he was a fool.

Moreover, he wore a Zhongshan suit, and with his naturally good looks—perhaps influenced by his long love of painting—he exuded an almost ethereal aura.

Strangely enough, Lv Guoqing seemed to sense her presence and glanced her way.

It was that single glance that made Gu Juan’s already weary heart skip a beat.

She didn’t understand why her heart was pounding so fiercely.

"What are you doing, woman?" Gu Juan turned abruptly, accidentally bumping into a woman who had been cleaning the floor, her hands and clothes smudged with grease and dirt.

The unfortunate coincidence was that the woman was wearing a white dress.

"I’m sorry, I’m sorry," Gu Juan hurriedly tried to wipe it off, but only made it worse.

"What are you doing?" the woman asked angrily, "Stop wiping."

Was this woman doing it on purpose?

Indeed, Gu Juan was purposeful.

Because she had just seen this woman standing next to Lv Guoqing.

"Sorry, Miss Zhou, we’ll handle this right away," the hotel manager quickly rushed over and said.

"Forget it," said the woman referred to as Miss Zhou.

"Has everything been arranged for Mr. Lv?" asked Miss Zhou, "He prefers peace and quiet, so make sure no one disturbs him."

Don’t be disruptive like this person.

"Absolutely," the manager responded promptly.

Miss Zhou glanced at the woman and shook her head.

There’s no need to fuss over someone living at the bottom tier of society.

"Why are you still standing there?" The manager angrily said to Gu Juan, "This is no place for someone like you, leave now."

Disgusted and disdainful.

"If you offend Miss Zhou, you couldn’t pay off the debt even with a hundred of you," the manager said, "Luckily, Miss Zhou is very forgiving."

"Yes," Gu Juan replied with her head lowered, feeling a flash of resentment.

If she were still with Lv Guoqing now, what place would there be for a Miss Zhou?

Sadly, nothing can be done about hindsight.

Back then, she never imagined Lv Guoqing would have such a fortune today.

Yet what Gu Juan couldn’t bear was seeing Lv Jinzhe.

The child she scorned and abandoned years ago had blossomed into a successful individual.

Moreover, he clearly appeared to be cultivated and charismatic.

This is her son!

But seeing Lv Jinzhe speak so respectfully to the person called Miss Zhou, Gu Juan felt her blood boil.

She thought she had come to terms with this.

But unexpectedly, meeting him once made her so unbearable.

She had assumed life would be better after getting out of prison, but she realized it was worse than being inside.

Though there was no freedom, at least she wasn’t bullied.

Living in that place, she finally understood why the Landlord never worried about rent defaults.

Because those living there were all rogues and thugs.

And the Landlord was their leader.
