Chapter 113 There's Still Talent
Jade Mountain Hot Springs.
Invested by Yan Mingyu, it's a high-end venue integrated with gourmet food, leisure, and social gatherings.
Usually managed by professional managers, she rarely visits.
Having some free time this afternoon after a workout with her girlfriend, she decided to soak in the hot springs to relax.
"Arrange a private courtyard!"
Upon arriving at the front desk, Yan Mingyu took out a VIP card from her bag. She only wanted to enjoy the hot springs quietly with her girlfriend like an ordinary customer today, not wanting to alarm the management.
"Okay, please wait a moment!"
After swiping Yan Mingyu's VIP card, the receptionist said very respectfully.
Jade Mountain Hot Springs follows a high-end approach, with dozens of small, independent courtyards of various sizes to protect the privacy of guests to the greatest extent.
"This is the access card for Falling Snow Courtyard!"
After checking the computer, the receptionist arranged a separate courtyard for Yan Mingyu and handed her an access card.
"Thank you!"
Yan Mingyu nodded, took the access card, and walked towards the VIP passage with Liu Xiaoxiao and Qin Yu.
Glass display cases lined the walls on both sides, showcasing celebrity calligraphy and paintings as well as some vases and antiques, which looked very classy.
The overall design also carried a bit of an ancient flair.
The columns and railings on both sides of the passageway were made of mahogany and adorned with lanterns, emitting a faint glow.
Outside the VIP passage was a lotus pond filled with colorful koi swimming freely.
Wooden signs marked with the names of courtyards guided guests to the paths leading to the hot spring courtyard of their choice.
"Baby, did you design all of this yourself?"
Liu Xiaoxiao certainly knew that Yan Mingyu was the real power behind Jade Mountain Hot Springs.
"Mm-hmm!"
Yan Mingyu nodded.
"President Yan, you are truly amazing!"
Qin Yu gave a thumbs-up, his face brimming with a fawning smile.
He hadn't expected his rich and beautiful wife to be wealthy, beautiful, and talented!
"It's nothing much, I just designed it casually when I was bored at night abroad!"
Yan Mingyu said leisurely.
If someone else had said this, it would definitely seem like they were showing off.
But who is she?
The helmsman of Four Seas Corporation, Yan Mingyu!n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
If she could manage such a massive super company so well, designing the style of a hot spring resort was no big deal, right?
"Hehe, with such a wonderful design, let Qin Yu experience it too, ask the staff to send over a set of men's swimwear!"
Liu Xiaoxiao said, smiling mischievously.
"This...
Yan Mingyu glanced at Qin Yu and slightly furrowed her eyebrows.
Swimwear was definitely needed for soaking in the hot springs, and Qin Yu was just her bodyguard, not her husband. How could he see her body?
"President Yan, you and your friend soak, I will protect your safety outside!"
Qin Yu offered thoughtfully.
Although he was somewhat curious to see Yan Mingyu and Liu Xiaoxiao in swimwear, where on earth was there a rule that a female boss and her male bodyguard should soak in hot springs together?
If she knew he was her husband, she would probably invite him to soak together without hesitation, right?
But then, it would be Liu Xiaoxiao who would be reluctant.
She surely wouldn't want to share her great figure with her girlfriend's husband!
You can't have your cake and eat it too!
"Hmm, if you want to soak in the hot springs, I can arrange a private courtyard for you!"
Yan Mingyu would certainly not treat Qin Yu poorly.
He had not only loyally protected her but also saved her grandfather's life twice.
"No need, no need, I'm just a simple man. It's okay for me to take a bath in a public bathhouse, but soaking in hot springs is not for me!"
Qin Yu waved his hand.
"Oh, then it's just me and the little one soaking!"
Liu Xiaoxiao felt somewhat disappointed.
Originally, she thought there might be something abnormal about Qin Yu's health, so she had tricked him into getting a blood test. The results not only came back normal but were actually much higher than average.
She couldn't help but want to take this opportunity to wear her swimsuit and show off her charm, hoping to make Qin Yu fall head over heels for her in her bikini.
Since Yan Mingyu wasn't keen, she would have to wait for another chance.
"Ring ring..."
At that moment, Qin Yu's phone rang. It was Qin Jianjun calling.
"Director Yan, Xiaoxiao, you go ahead. I'll come find you later!"
After glancing at his phone, Qin Yu said.
"Okay!"
Yan Mingyu and Liu Xiaoxiao walked away along the path.
"Dad, what's up?"
Qin Yu found a stone bench to sit on and answered the call.
"Xiao Yu, I just called Aunt Zhou to ask how much money I've saved with her over the years, and she told me it's only a few thousand. How is that possible!"
Qin Jianjun's voice sounded anxious.
He wasn't a fool, knowing that since he had started feeling unwell half a year ago, Zhou Cuiping's attitude towards him had grown colder and colder.
If it's really like what his son said, and he died because he had no money for treatment, wouldn't that be the ultimate injustice?
So, he called Zhou Cuiping to ask her to take out a few tens of thousands to cure his illness.
Unexpectedly, Zhou Cuiping simply said there was no money, almost making him angry enough to spit blood.
"Dad, just focus on getting better for now. We'll discuss the money after you're well,"
Qin Yu comforted his father.
He had overheard Zhou Cuiping at the hospital that afternoon saying that his father still had two hundred thousand with her. How could there be only a few thousand left?
Either she wanted to embezzle it, or she had transferred it elsewhere.
No matter the case, they would wait until his father recovered to deal with it. If he started confronting Zhou Cuiping now, it would only worry his father and make his health worse.
"Well... okay then."
Qin Jianjun also knew Zhou Cuiping's character; without evidence, she definitely wouldn't admit to having his money.
Currently weak from illness and struggling even to eat, where would he find the energy to look for evidence?
"Dad, you rest well. I'll come over to see you in a bit!"
After hanging up, Qin Yu put away his phone and looked for the direction of the restroom, planning to take a leak.
At that moment.
Yan Mingyu and Liu Xiaoxiao had arrived at the entrance of an ancient-looking courtyard.
"Hey, two beautiful sisters!"
Just then, a slim girl dressed in a JK uniform with white knee-high socks and looking very kawaii came out from a side path and greeted them proactively.
"Who are you?"
Yan Mingyu took one look at the JK girl and showed a cautious expression.
Her identity was quite special, and in any situation, at any time, she wouldn't easily interact with a stranger, even if it was another woman.
"My name is Tingting. I came here to soak in the hot spring with my classmates. But they're all in pairs, and I don't want to be the third wheel. I came out for some air and didn't expect to meet two beautiful sisters. Can I join you guys for a soak?"
The JK girl introduced herself.
Yan Mingyu's hot spring resort was indeed a high-end venue, but East Sea wasn't short of wealthy second-generation kids coming to soak with classmates. It seemed plausible enough.
"No problem, the more, the merrier!"
Liu Xiaoxiao agreed first.
The other was just a charming and cute young girl. What could possibly be her ulterior motive?
"Thank you, beautiful sisters!"
The JK girl showed a sweet smile.
However, within her crescent moon-like eyes, there was a faint hint of something different.
