Chapter 4 Starry Grand Hotel

Life was like a mess without any signs, like strand of threads entangled.

It did not seem to be soluble.

The BMW drove slowly towards 'Starry Grand Hotel', the five star hotel they often went to.

"My dear sister, sit tight. I'm going to drive faster."

"Okay."

Ines's broken heart finally felt warm, not so cold. She found a trace of comfort. Maybe in her heart, friends were meant to be together for a lifetime. Although she used to think that friends were very important, the boyfriend she loved was the one who could accompany her for the rest of her life and never give her up.

In Ines's mind, a husband was always more important than a friend. In the past, she often ignored Jasper and stood him up because of Silas. It made Jasper very sad. She knew that, but she only regarded him as her good brother and buddy. If she had to choose between Silas and Jasper, she might still choose Silas.

She never regretted falling in love with Silas, because he had always been considerate and attentive to her. Although she was unruly and wayward, Silas had never been angry with her and treated her well. But she didn't understand why Silas broke up with her after they had been in love for such a long time without any foreboding. They broke up the day before the Yang Group went bankrupt.

There were many unknown questions in Ines's mind. Jasper became a celebrity in the fashion industry overnight, Silas became someone else's husband, and Mr. Yu. Everything changed overnight.

She didn't know why everything came so coincidentally and so suddenly. It seemed that everything was unpredictable.

"Brother, you are a celebrity in the fashion industry now. I will rely on you about my work in the future. Without you, I really don't know what to do," Ines teased.

"I'm also a nobody. I got my current position a few days ago with the help of a chairman. But don't worry, sister. As long as I'm here, I won't let you suffer." Then he took out a gold card from his bag. "There is one million dollars in this card. The password is the last six numbers of your birthday. You can use it first. You can't live in the original villa anymore. You should find a good place for your mother before the villa is confiscated. Don't let her know the truth first. She is not in good health."

"Brother, where did you get so much money?" Ines was surprised.

"It's my savings for so many years. Now you need a lot of money. I have my own company now, so I don't need them. I hope I can help you in the future. Just use them, or I will feel sorry for you," Jasper emphasized immediately.

"No, brother, I can't accept this money. It's your hard-working money, how can I accept it?" Ines refused in a hurry.

Jasper stuffed the gold card into Ines's hand and held it. "Hurry up, or I will be angry. I don't want my sister to be homeless and drop out of school. If some second generations of the rich family like you, I will lose a good sister. I won't let that happen."

"All right. I'll borrow it from you. I'll return it to you when I have money. What do you think? Otherwise, I won't take it." Ines saw that Jasper was determined. Moreover, she was in urgent need of money now, so she had to take it. She could pay it back later. Although she knew he didn't want her to pay back, she still had to. After all, they were not relatives. She didn't like to owe others favors since childhood.

Ines put the gold card in her pocket, At this time, the BMW slowly stopped at the Starry Grand Hotel.

At the front gate of Starry Grand Hotel.

The hotel greeter immediately approached and greeted them, "Hello, Mr. Ma. The room you booked is ready for you. You may go upstairs at any time." The greeter was very enthusiastic. She knew he was Mr. Ma so soon, and she was also so kind.

Ines came here again and felt so strange and ironic. This five star hotel used to be a common place for her, but now she could only look up to it. If Jasper hadn't brought her here, she might never have appeared in this Starry Grand Hotel again.

Jasper said something to the usher and they walked to the side. It seemed that they deliberately avoided her. Ines didn't think too much. After all, it was not good for her to hear their business talk.

But she was curious why it was the first time that she had seen the man in an usher's suit. Maybe the hotel had changed a new usher. Otherwise, he couldn't have failed to recognize her, an old patron. As soon as they got out of the car, he rushed to Jasper. Apparently, he didn't see her. Ines couldn't help feeling sad.

Jasper and the usher whispered, "Has Mr. Yu arrived?"

"He arrived long time ago. He is waiting for you there."

"Okay, let's go upstairs now. You go upstairs first. We'll be there soon."

"Ines, let's go upstairs. I've booked a room and some business friends. I hope you don't be overcautious. These may be helpful for you to rebuild the Yang Group."

"Really? Now my father has been taken to the police station for investigation. My father's senior employees are all treated me badly. Who else is willing to offer funds to help me? Brother Jasper, don't make fun of me. I'm satisfied to have a friend like you to help me," she said innocently.

As an inexperienced Ines, she had no idea what Jasper meant.

"Ines, you won't be mad at me, will you?" Half squatting, Jasper elbow Ines's arm. Such a question suddenly popped up.

"Of course not. Brother Jasper, what's wrong with you? You helped me a lot and treated me so well when I was in the most difficult time. How could I blame you since I have such a good friend? Brother Jasper, are you okay?" Ines was still calm and didn't notice the change of Jasper's expression. He blushed and turned livid.

Now Ines didn't trust anyone, but she felt lucky to have such a friend who shared weal and woe. This was the only reason that made her feel warm, and also a touch of sunshine in her life.

"That's good. Let's go upstairs. Even if brother did something wrong to you, it is because I have my own difficulties. I hope you can forgive me."

"Brother Jasper, what's wrong with you? Are you having a fever? What are you talking about?" Ines touched Jasper's head and found that he didn't have a fever but sweated a lot.

"Brother Jasper, why are you sweating so much? Let me help you wipe it." So she took out a wet tissue and wiped the sweat off Jasper's forehead.

"Thank you, Ines. I'm fine. It's just too hot."

But they were standing next to the air-conditioner on the first floor. In fact, everyone knew that how could there be sweat under the air-conditioner?

It was just that no one wanted to get to the bottom of it.

The hotel greeter who came downstairs and urged Mr. Ma to go upstairs saw the scene of wiping sweat.

"Ahem." He pretended to cough. Interrupting the conversation between the two, Ines quickly tightened the wet tissue in her hand. Because this was the first time she had wiped sweat for other men. The first one was, of course, Silas.

"Mr. Ma, is it time to come up? Mr. Yu is impatient now. If you don't take Miss Yang upstairs, he will leave first. Mr. Yu is so busy. Do you think that he is someone like you who had no job?"

His sharp words rebuked Jasper harshly. It was obvious that it was because of the scene that Ines wiped the sweat off his forehead just now.

"Ines, let's go upstairs now."

Jasper didn't say a word to refute the usher's accusation. Instead, he spoke to him respectfully.

She didn't know who gave this usher so much power.

Ines was speechless

As the head of a company, Mr. Ma, had to be subservient to an usher of the hotel...

No, Mr. Yu... It suddenly reminded Ines.

"Brother Jasper, who is Mr. Yu?" Ines suddenly stopped.

"Let's go upstairs first. They are business partners of me. I will introduce them to you. They can't wait."

"Okay."

In room No. 5201 of Starry Grand Hotel.

"Ines, here we are. Come on in."

"Mr. Ma, you finally brought Miss Yang here. I've been waiting for you for a long time," a young man with a handsome face said.

"Sorry for keeping Mr. Yu waiting. I have brought Ines here."

"Miss Yang, long time no see."

'Why is this voice so familiar? I seem to have heard it somewhere.' Ines searched all her memories.

"You are the handsome who helped me in the Legendary International Hotel. Aren't you?"

"Yes, you have a good memory. You still remember me."

"Mr. Yu, you have known each other. Then I don't have to introduce you." Jasper changed the subject. Ines and Maverick were having a good time. They seemed to be old friends who had met again today. In fact, this was a characteristic of Ines. As long as others were enthusiastic to her, she would never neglect others.

"No, no, Mr. Ma, I'd like you to introduce us. Miss Yang and I are just passers-by and we only met once in a hurry. Mr. Ma, please introduce her to me."

"Mr. Yu, his original name is Maverick Yu, the current chairman of the Yu Group. He runs over a thousand industries, but with the most promising field he runs is packaging stars. He runs the Yu Media and the Tranquil Entertainment Company. Now, the most popular entertainment superstar is from the Yu Group."

"Wait a minute, Mr. Yu, Maverick Yu..." It seemed that someone gave her a business card this morning. It was said that it was Mr. Yu's, chairman Yu, was it the same person?

Ines took out the business card someone gave her this morning from her pocket. It was the chairman of the Yu Group, Maverick Yu. What was going on?

They were the same person?

How could this be? Who could tell her how things turned out to be like this?
