Chapter 186 Bi Yatong is overjoyed

The woman still standing at the front desk turned pale upon hearing this.

She took a step forward, about to call out to Qiao Changdong, when she saw Yan Liti walking over from the corner. She immediately looked surprised and stared at her blankly.

It wasn't until Yan Liti put on her scarf, passed by her, and left through the door opened by the greeter, that she snapped out of her daze.

She wanted to chase after him, but then, remembering something, she stopped in her tracks.

Finally, she turned to the front desk and asked, "Was that lady from earlier also staying at your hotel?"

The receptionist glanced at Yan Liti's departing figure, smiled, and nodded: "Yes, sir."

"Which room does she stay in?" the woman asked again.

The receptionist smiled and said, "I'm sorry, sir, this is other guests' privacy, and we are not authorized to disclose it to you."

The woman's words of rebuke were about to spill out, but seeing that more and more people were coming downstairs to the living room as it was approaching noon, she managed to hold them back.

She pursed her lips, then, as if remembering something, crossed her arms and looked at the receptionist: "Then please arrange for me to be on the same floor as her, is that alright?"

Just as the woman was congratulating herself on her cleverness, she heard the front desk staff say, "I'm sorry, guest, there are no rooms available on this floor. We only have rooms on other floors."

The woman was still unhappy.

But I still stayed.

Because she knew that only by settling down would she have a chance!

At worst, she'd come down at noon and wait for them to come; she refused to believe she wouldn't catch them!

After checking into the hotel, the woman couldn't wait to make a phone call using the landline provided in the room.

When the call connected, the woman leaned against the headboard behind her, one hand twirling the phone cord, and asked the person on the other end of the line with a surprised tone.

"Cousin, do you know who I saw in Baoyi City today?"

"Who is it?" the person on the other end of the phone asked listlessly, their voice hoarse from lack of rest.

"That noble lady from the Shen family is your aunt!" the woman laughed.

"What?"

On the other end of the phone, Bi Yatong's expression immediately changed from her initial lack of interest.

"Are you sure it really is her?" she asked skeptically.

"How could this be fake? Everyone in Kyoto knows her face. Cousin, what exactly happened at Xiaolu's birthday party last time?" the woman replied, her tone slightly probing.

The woman's name was Ning Yiman.

She and Bi Yatong are cousins.

But Ning Yiman did not grow up in the land of flowers.

During the war years ago, Ning Yiman's parents went to the United States with their family, and only moved back to the United States last year.

Ning Yiman is seven years younger than Bi Yatong, and is twenty-five years old this year.

At her age, she's still not married; she's getting on in years.

However, Ning Yiman received a Western education and did not feel that she was old; on the contrary, she felt that she was in the prime of her life.

Her family moved back from Country M with her, mostly for the sake of her marriage.

In recent years, the economy of the Flower Country has been booming.

The Ning family also wanted to return to China and get a share of the profits.

They forcibly took Ning Yiman, who didn't want to return to China, back to the country, intending for her to marry a well-off man in the Flower Kingdom.

In the first year after Ning Yiman returned home, her family began arranging blind dates for her, but Ning Yiman felt that the men her family introduced were not good enough for her.

So the Ning family introduced her to potential partners for a year, but she didn't like any of them.

Until the beginning of this year, when a junior member of the Yan family held a banquet, she went with Bi Yatong to attend and met Shen Qingyan, who had just returned from a mission.

They were immediately awestruck.

She felt that only a man like Shen Qingyan, who was exceptionally outstanding in both himself and his family background, was worthy of her.

He was thinking of asking Bi Yatong to introduce him to someone.

But she hadn't had a chance to ask Bi Yatong to help her get an introduction.

Shen Qingyan then left the banquet.

Later, she urged Bi Yatong several times to ask her cousin to help her make an introduction. In this regard, she also gave Bi Yatong many high-end gifts.

However, Bi Yatong only took the money and did nothing. Not to mention making introductions, she also heard a few days ago that her cousin-in-law had offended Shen Qingyan and was beaten up and hospitalized by him!

After this incident, Ning Yiman inquired about it with Bi Yatong countless times, both openly and secretly.

But her cousin's mouth was as tight as a clam shell; she didn't reveal a single piece of information to her.

This really made her very angry.

She had thought that getting to know Shen Qingyan through her cousin was completely hopeless.

I never expected that I would meet Shen Qingyan's mother, Yan Liti, in such a poor and remote place. She is known as the number one noble lady in the Kyoto elite circle!

Thinking that Yan Liti is now staying in the same hotel as her.

Ning Yiman was incredibly excited.

That's why he couldn't wait to call Bi Yatong, wanting to find out some information.

I want to know what the other person is here for.

But when Bi Yatong heard Ning Yiman's words, she only focused on another point.

"You said you saw Yan Liti, but did you see anyone with her? Like, a child?"

"Children?" Ning Yiman frowned, thinking of the brother and sister she had mocked.

She couldn't understand it.

How could someone like Yan Liti know someone who looks like a beggar?

Although the man was fairly good-looking, his clothes were very sloppy. His military overcoat looked as cheap as a greeter's coat, which was a real waste of his handsome face.

As for the brother and sister he brought with him...

It made her feel extremely disgusted.

I felt that I had never seen such a slovenly and dirty child in my entire life.

Look at their clothes, even beggars are dressed better than them.

How could someone like Yan Liti know these people?

Ning Yiman really couldn't understand it.

Ning Yiman felt disgusted; even mentioning it made her feel dirty.

"Yes, there was a boy and a girl, both of them were dirty and ugly, they were disgusting, like beggars who crawled out of a pile of beggars."

After Ning Yiman finished speaking, she asked, "Cousin, why are you asking this? Do you know who those two children are?"

But Bi Yatong on the other side still didn't answer her question.

Instead, she asked, "When you saw Yan Liti, how did she treat those two children? Especially the girl, were they close?"

She already knew from Shen Qingrong that the bastard child abandoned outside was a girl, so Bi Yatong was only interested in the girl Ning Yiman mentioned.

"They weren't close. They didn't say a word, and it seemed like they didn't even glance at each other. They only exchanged a few words with the man with the two children, and then left."

After Ning Yiman finished answering, she noticed that Bi Yatong only asked questions but didn't answer any of them.

Her curiosity was fully piqued, and she asked again, "Cousin, what happened? Is there anything special about those two children?"

Hearing Ning Yiman's words, Bi Yatong on the other end of the phone was overjoyed.
