The CEO's Unkown Wife

Xia Qingtian ran all the way back to the Xia family home.

As soon as she entered, she saw her father, who should have been in the hospital, had forcibly discharged himself to save money.

He was sitting on the sofa with a worried expression.

Seeing her come in, her father got up hurriedly as if he had seen a savior, "Qingtian, when you went to the Bo family at noon..."

"Dad, I'm a bit tired and want to rest first." Xia Qingtian knew what he was going to say, so she interrupted him, ignored his reaction, and went straight upstairs.

Her mind was a mess right now, and she really didn't have the spirit to listen to her father's words.

"Alright, you've also been tired lately, have a good rest!"

Hearing this, her father dared not ask any more; after all, Xia Qingtian was his only hope for turning things around!

Xia Qingtian, feeling drained, returned to her bedroom, closed the door tightly, flung herself onto the bed, and buried her face deep in the pillow.

No good!

She had to investigate what happened last night!

Thinking of this, Xia Qingtian quickly sat up from the bed, thought for a moment, and dialed her best friend Chen Momo's number.

Chen Momo was her high school friend. After her family had fallen on hard times, she left the elite school, but they remained very close.

And now, she was working in the kitchen of the Imperial Hotel, so she might be of help for the investigation.

As soon as the call got connected, Chen Momo, being a gossip, arose, "Qingtian, how is your divorce going?"

Xia Qingtian had told Chen Momo about her divorce.

But only in general terms, without mentioning Bo Jingyan's identity.

"There has been an unexpected incident..." Xia Qingtian sighed, and continued, "Momo, I need your help with something."

"Just name it!" Chen Momo sounded quite generous.

Upon hearing that, Xia Qingtian immediately asked her to help investigate who had booked room 1314 at the Imperial Hotel last night, and if possible, to get the CCTV footage from outside the room.

Chen Momo agreed straightaway, "Ok, I will try my best to find out!"

After she finished speaking, she suddenly seemed to recall something, and quickly asked, "Qingtian, I have a favor to ask you too. Are you free tomorrow?"

"I am."

"My mother has been hospitalized recently and is having a surgery tomorrow. I need to take care of her, but it's difficult to get leave from the hotel. So, I was wondering... can you cover my shift for one day?" Chen Momo asked.

Xia Qingtian agreed without hesitation, "Alright, I don't have anything important tomorrow anyway."

Once they had agreed on this, they hung up the phone.

Early next morning.

Xia Qingtian arrived at the kitchen of the Imperial Hotel quite early, explained the situation to the chef, and was assigned to the vegetable preparation area to chop vegetables.

As noon approached, more guests arrived at the hotel, making the kitchen busier than ever.

At this moment, the chef received an emergency call.

He looked at Xia Qingtian nearby and hastily said, "Come here, help me make this soup according to the steps on the board, I'll be right back!"

Xia Qingtian was a little stunned, and was about to ask further, but the chef had already left.

She felt helpless, but meticulously followed the soup-making steps, added the vegetables, seasoning, stirred it, making sure every step was correct.

...

Meanwhile, in the hotel restaurant.

Bo Jingyan sat by the window, his face cold and expression gloomy. One hand rested on the table, his fingertips occasionally tapping on the surface.

The table was covered with delicacies.

He had come to the hotel today for an engagement and took advantage of this opportunity to check the surveillance footage, only to discover that the hallway CCTV had been broken over the past two days, only the elevator surveillance was functioning.

Having no other choice, he asked his friend Shen Yaxuan to help him retrieve the list of women who entered the hotel that night, but so far, there had been no progress.

Thinking of this, Bo Jingyan looked pensive and absent-mindedly started eating the food on the table.

Yet, unexpectedly...

As soon as he lifted the bowl of soup and took a few sips, his expression shifted slightly, revealing a look of surprise.

This soup...

He could actually taste it?!
