Guan Hao looked at her sinisterly, as if he wanted to force her to have no way to escape.
Qu Ranran fell silent.
"It seems you really want me to recall last night with you?"
At this second, Qu Ranran slowly let go of her bitten lips that turned white, but she looked at him without flinching. She calmly spit out, "Are you sure I had normal consciousness last night?
?”
Seeing her calm and indifferent reaction, the cold lines on Guan Hao's handsome face became even tighter.
Qu Ranran's slightly pale face was always gentle.
Just when the carriage fell into silence for a few seconds, Qu Ranran's voice suddenly rang.
Taking out her mobile phone and seeing Qiao Che's number displayed on the screen, the expression on Qu Ranran's face became softer.
She pressed the answer button and said, "Dr. Qiao... I'm also looking for you... Okay, I'm near the xx hotel. I'll wait for you here."
After ending the call, Qu Ranran turned to look at the cold man beside her, "I'm sorry, I have something to do, please let me get off the car on the side of the road!"
Guan Hao's gaze fell forward, his handsome face indifferent.
Qu Ranran saw that Guan Hao didn't answer, so he said again, "Please..."
Qu Ranran looked at the car window and saw that the car had stopped on the side of the road.
Qu Ranran opened the car door and walked out.
Unexpectedly, the moment she got out of the car, a cold voice sounded.
"Yu An's first birthday banquet will be held early next month. I hope you won't come to the banquet to see Yu An under various pretexts, because I don't want to see you again."
His words were as sharp as arrows, and they could easily hit the most vulnerable part of her chest.
After listening to what he said, Qu Ranran stood still for a second, then walked away with his head held high.
And when she walked to the side of the road where she was waiting for a taxi, the car had already driven away.
…
Qu Ranran didn't wait long at the roadside when Qiao Che drove up in a black car.
After getting off the car, Qiao Che nervously ran to Qu Ranran. "Why are you in this hotel? I'm so worried about you."
Qu Ranran raised her eyes and looked at Qiao Che, "Don't you even know why I'm in this hotel?"
Qiao Che shook his head, "You fell asleep in my car as soon as you got in the car last night. I was just about to drive you to the hotel when I suddenly received a call from my aunt - it was said that my uncle died because of drinking too much.
I had stomach bleeding. The situation was very urgent. I had to go back to the dinner venue to see my uncle first, so I called a waiter in the hotel to take you back to the hotel where we were staying... But just now I returned to the hotel where we were staying.
At that time, I heard from the hotel waiter that you didn't come back last night, so I called you."
"Are you sure you found a hotel bellboy to take me back?"
"I'm sure. I called him midway to confirm. He said he had sent you back to the hotel safely, so I felt relieved."
Hearing Qiao Che's explanation, Qu Ranran couldn't help but frown, "Can you still find the waiter's phone number?"
"Of course...it's just that you haven't told me why you are here?"
"Dr. Qiao, I now suspect that the waiter didn't take me back to our hotel last night, but sent me to my xxx hotel."
"xxx hotel? This seems to be the hotel where Qiao Si and Guan Hao are staying."
Qu Ranran nodded, "Can you please take a phone call to the waiter and confirm where he sent me last night."
"good."
Qiao Che took out his cell phone and quickly found the person's number.
After the phone was connected, Qiao Che pressed Yangshengjian and asked, "Hello, I asked you to take Miss Qu back to XX Hotel last night. Are you sure you got her there safely?"
The waiter on the other end of the phone was very surprised, "Mr. Qiao, wasn't the one you asked me to send you Miss Qiao?"
"What Miss Qiao?"
"Isn't she your sister?"
"When did I tell you that she is my sister, and I want you to take her back to XX Hotel? Why did you send her to XX Hotel?"
The waiter explained innocently, "I heard you say 'Miss Qiao' last night. At that time, I thought that this 'Miss Qiao' didn't look like the one in the newspaper. I wanted to ask you clearly, but you were already in a hurry."
Entering the elevator... I didn't hear the hotel you mentioned clearly. I thought her surname was 'Qiao' and she should be your sister, so I went to ask Mr. Guan about the hotel where he was staying, and then I sent "Ms. Qiao" to xxx hotel
Already."
…
After ending the phone call, Qiao Che said angrily, "It seems that the waiter made a mistake. She thought you were my sister. But even if she misheard 'Qiao' and 'Qu', I remember clearly telling him
Got the name of the hotel…”
"Dr. Qiao, I think what happened last night was very strange."
"How to say?"
"I only had a sip of wine last night, but I felt dizzy and fell asleep in your car... Then I stayed at the xxx hotel for one night, and I can't remember anything at all."
"You mean someone set you up last night?"
"Yes, Guan Hao told me that he checked the hotel security surveillance, but the surveillance that happened to show how I came to the hotel was missing."
Qiao Che frowned in thought, "If you put it this way, there are indeed some loopholes in what the waiter said just now... Wait, Qiao Si was also with my uncle in the hospital last night, and Guan Hao returned to the hotel alone. You just mentioned him
, then you and him..."
Knowing what Qiao Che wanted to know, Qu Ranran immediately shook his head, "I can't remember what happened last night, but I can confirm that he did not stay in the hotel last night."
The implication is that nothing happened between her and Guan Hao.
Although it is indecent to wake up in a state of embarrassment, the probability of such a thing happening is extremely low...
First of all, she didn't feel anything abnormal in her body. Secondly, what he said just now when he launched an attack on the enemy revealed that the situation didn't turn into the worst last night...
Qiao Che breathed a sigh of relief, "You're fine... It's all my fault. I couldn't take you back to the hotel in person, and I didn't notice anything unusual about the waiter."
"I can't blame you. You must have been worried about your uncle at the time..."
"Anyway, it's my fault. I asked you to help but this happened to you in France."
Qu Ranran calmed down and thought for a while, then said, "Dr. Qiao, I think there must be an instigator behind this incident. You have many connections in France. Can you help me look into this matter?"
"Of course, I will definitely investigate this matter."

Return to the hotel.
In the afternoon, because her head still hurt, Qu Ranran stayed in the hotel to rest.
It was confirmed that someone was behind what happened last night, but she never imagined who would want to harm her like this...
She had doubted Qiao Si, but it was impossible for Qiao Si to risk Guan Hao and her being in the same room to set her up...
So, besides Qiao Si, who else?
In fact, the most suspicious person was Qiao Che. The only person she came into contact with last night was him, and he was Qiao Si's brother.
However, she will never doubt Qiao Che because she believes in him.
It was he who saved her from the brink of death on the operating table. There was no way he could harm her...
Therefore, she would not doubt either brother or sister.
This makes the whole thing even more strange...
She hoped that Qiao Che could find out.
…
No longer thinking about this problem, Qu Ranran lay down, closed his eyes, and prepared to take a nap.
However……
"Yu An's first birthday banquet will be held early next month. I hope you won't come to the banquet to see Yu An under various pretexts, because I don't want to see you again."
Guan Hao's words suddenly came into her mind, causing her to open her eyes suddenly.
Her eyes were dull for a few seconds, then she sat up.
Open the quilt and get out of bed.
She walked to her business trip suitcase and took out a delicately packaged box...
Sitting on the edge of the bed, she opened the box.
Yes, it's that crystal ball...
She took out the note again and looked at it. The black ink was still so clear.
She didn't want to deny that seven years of love could be forgotten in just six months. It was easy to forget... This was why she kept this crystal ball with her.
She met him without warning, and seeing him ignoring her feelings at the banquet, she thought that her life with him would be like this, but she didn't expect that something like that would happen last night.
He is such a smart person. How could he not know if there was something fishy last night and what kind of character she is?
Therefore, he came to her just to humiliate her...
…
After a long time, Qu Ranran put the crystal ball into the box and put it in the drawer of the hotel bedside table.
Looking at the closed drawer, she seemed relieved and smiled softly.
She lay down on the bed again, and this time, she fell into sleep peacefully.
－－－－－－－－－－－
At night, Qiao Che and Qu Ranran stood in the lobby of the hotel.
The front desk staff is handling check-out procedures for them.
Qiao Che and Qu Ranran were waiting patiently.
At this time, the front desk lady who was talking to the cleaning staff on the phone suddenly said to Qu Ranran, "Miss, the cleaning aunt said that you left something in the bedside drawer. She has asked someone to take it down for you. You can take it down later."
wait."
Qu Ranran responded with a smile, "Oh, I don't have to wait any longer. I don't want that thing."
Qiao Che asked, "What is it? You'd better check carefully to make sure you don't really leave anything behind."
Qu Ranran smiled and shook his head, "Only unimportant things will be left behind."
"Um."
The lady at the front desk then handed the ID to Qiao Che and said respectfully, "Okay... the room has been checked out. You two can go slowly. Welcome to visit us next time."
When walking towards the hotel door, Qu Ranran smiled and said to Qiao Che beside him, "They say Paris is a romantic city, and I don't even have time to have fun this time..."
Qiao Che dragged Qu Ranran's suitcase and nodded with a smile, "Then come again next time and I will be your tour guide."
"OK……"
The two talked and laughed and walked out of the hotel together.
