Lin Shuyin fixed her gaze on the hotel manager. Observing her reaction, Qin Hai felt a pulse of foreboding, a gnawing sense of unease that something would go awry. He hesitated for a fleeting moment, missing his chance to stop her.
Lin Shuyin spoke, "You're the general manager of Haoting Hotel, correct?"
"Yes," the manager replied with a polite smile.
Pointing at Qin Sheng, Lin Shuyin sneered, "She seduced a man to gain access to this hotel. Haoting Hotel is the finest in H City, reserved for people from elite circles. How could you allow a woman, supported by a man, to enter?"
It was clear that Lin Shuyin did not see Qin Sheng as her daughter; she detested her. For Qin Sheng to slight her so openly in front of so many people was intolerable. She was determined to teach her a harsh lesson.
