My aunt's villa in Italy isn't located abroad, but rather in the Kunshan Changtai Kailai Resort Hotel, near Shanghai.
The Disneyland that Zhu Suosuo and Xie Hongzu visited together is also a super romantic date spot for couples.
In this timeline, Xie Hongzu only has one fate: bankruptcy!
He will never have a chance to get Zhu Suosuo!

Chapter 309 The stunning beauty Xu Hongdou is coming to his presidential suite!
After Cao Meng and Jiang Nansun finished their date, they rested briefly before preparing to leave.
He originally wanted to go back to the villa to meet up with Liang Shuang and Peng Jiahe, whom he hadn't seen for several days.
But just then, his phone suddenly rang.
Cao Meng picked up his phone and couldn't help but laugh. The caller was an unexpected visitor—someone he had never imagined would call him.
This person was none other than Xu Hongdou, the receptionist at the five-star hotel.
Cao Meng's deepest impression of her was the female lead in "Going to a Windy Place".
When they went to a windy place, Xu Hongdou was already over 30 years old, but she was still very beautiful.
Xu Hongdou, who just graduated from university with a degree in hotel management, came to work as a receptionist at this five-star hotel.
She looks her best right now, much better than when she goes to windy places.
So Cao Meng fell in love with Xu Hongdou at first sight, but fate played a cruel trick on him. Several times when Cao Meng brought his men over, Xu Hongdou caught them in the act.
Logically speaking, in Xu Hongdou's mind, Cao Meng should be a playboy who leaves his mark everywhere, and she shouldn't have any connection with him.
However, the feelings between people are not so easy to calculate.
Who could have imagined that a sweet and lovely girl like Da Tian Tian, a kind, gentle, and generous girl, would encounter a gambler who spread her private photos throughout the entertainment circle, causing Da Tian Tian to suffer from depression for a long time.
Of course, you can't make that analogy. Cao Meng admits he's a scumbag, but he would never admit he's a scumbag.
He could never have done what Zhang Zang'ao did.
What I'm saying is that even someone like Zhang Zang'ao has good girls who like him. Cao Meng is just a bit of a womanizer, but he hasn't done anything that would make him a scoundrel and be universally condemned. There's nothing wrong with Xu Hongdou liking him.
Cao Meng answered Xu Hongdou's call and asked with a smile, "Xuefeng said, 'What's the matter that you're calling so late?'"
Logically, Cao Meng didn't believe that Xu Hongdou was calling so late to offer herself to him.
But Xu Hongdou said, "Can I rest in your presidential suite for a while?"
Cao Meng was stunned. When a girl offered to rest in the place where he was sleeping, wasn't it obvious that she wanted to offer herself to him?
Cao Meng was really confused now, because he and Xu Hongdou had never discussed this matter at all; it was Gan Jing and other women who had spoken on his behalf.
Cao Meng wasn't entirely clear on what they discussed.
He never imagined that one day quantitative change could lead to qualitative change, and Xu Hongdou's feelings for him would change; she would actually take the initiative.
Cao Meng now needs to verify whether he has misunderstood something.
Cao Meng hesitated for a moment, then asked, "...Don't you have staff dormitories? Why do you want to rest in my presidential suite?"

Chapter 310 Does the beautiful Xu Hongdou want to stay overnight or offer herself up for the night?
After asking those questions, Cao Meng wanted to take them back.
He hasn't acted like this, so clueless and unromantic, in a long time.
Was it because Xu Hongdou's angelic beauty made him a little intimidated?
Xu Hongdou was stunned on the other end of the phone. What did Cao Meng mean? Did he have feelings for her or not?
How could you be so clueless? Do you expect me to just bluntly ask you out?
Xu Hongdou recalled the whole process of how she met Cao Meng. Every time he came over, he would flirt with her, and his eyes clearly showed that he liked her very much. Moreover, his female confidantes had talked to her a lot, and each of them liked her very much. Their words also revealed that Cao Meng liked her very much. These things could not be faked.
Perhaps it was because of his rash phone call that Cao Meng was a little at a loss.
However, Xu Hongdou is still quite shy. After all, she is not the mature woman she will become 10 years later. She is just a recent college graduate who has been working for a short time and has never been in a relationship before. She has no idea how to seduce men.
But she still bravely took this step, wanting to share this rare and precious treasure with other women.
Just as her best friend Chen Nanxing said, this man is a gift from heaven.
Xu Hongdou said shyly, "Our staff dormitory is shared with several girls."
Some of them grind their teeth, some snore, and some talk in their sleep, which always keeps me awake.
I want to find a quiet place to sleep, but my salary is not high enough to afford a five-star hotel room.
I just remembered that your presidential suite has three bedrooms, but you only brought one woman up, leaving the other two rooms empty. Could I stay the night?
She spoke very subtly, so subtly that Cao Meng thought she really was just asking for lodging.
Cao Meng was slightly taken aback: "If your hotel finds out about this, won't it affect your work?"
It is a serious violation of regulations for a hotel staff member to borrow a guest's room.
Xu Hongdou blurted out, "Then you can just say I'm your girlfriend!"
Cao Meng was at a loss for what to do at this moment, thanks to Xu Hongdou.
He really couldn't figure out whether this girl was just asking for a place to stay or wanted to throw herself into his arms.
Let's talk in person; a person's true emotions can't be conveyed over the phone.
He then said, "Then come up here, let's meet and have a chat!"
Xu Hongdou certainly wouldn't be on the night shift all night. After handing over her shift to a colleague in the early morning, she went directly to the presidential suite by elevator.
A waiter was on duty outside the presidential suite and asked, puzzled, "Xu Hongdou, what brings you here?"

Chapter 311 He showed absolutely no politeness to the beautiful Xu Hongdou!
Xu Hongdou said calmly to the waiter, "Mr. Cao called me and asked me to come over. He has something very important to tell me!"
The waiter was quite responsible; he first consulted Cao Meng and, knowing that Cao Meng had indeed sent Xu Hongdou up, then let Xu Hongdou in.
When Xu Hongdou came in, she saw that Cao Meng was only wearing shorts, and her pretty face flushed red.
She couldn't help but say coquettishly, "Why are you only wearing shorts? Why aren't you dressed properly?"
Cao Meng looked at Xu Hongdou, whose pretty face was flushed with sarcasm, and said, "Please, this is my room. I can wear whatever I want."
"You're here to stay overnight. If you feel this isn't appropriate, then you can leave!"
Why did Cao Meng speak so rudely?
Isn't he afraid that Xu Hongdou will be unhappy and storm off?
Cao Meng was worried about this, which is why he wanted to do it even more.
Because he could tell that Xu Hongdou was proud and arrogant, but did not like men who fawned over her excessively.
She is probably very similar to a kung fu queen from the 70s, a famous female knight-errant, the veteran actress who later made a comeback to play Madam Hua. In her youth, she was famous throughout Hong Kong and had many suitors.
But she didn't like any of them; she only liked a man who seemed to have no interest in her.
The colder the man was to her, the more interesting she found him.
As a result, she rushed to marry him and retired from the film industry for him.
She became pregnant with his body seven or eight times, gave birth to several children, and did all sorts of hard work for him.
In the end, she discovered that the man had never cared about her at all; he had simply treated her as a tool to have children and manage household chores.
It was only then that she realized she had to choose the one who loves her, not the one she loves.
Like Xu Hongdou and many other beautiful women, who are used to being pursued by men, they often have no interest in those sycophants who fawn over and flatter them. Instead, they tend to like men who are indifferent to them and seem to have no interest in them.
Imagine if Xie Zhiyao had shown strong interest in Xu Hongdou from the beginning when they went to a windy place; perhaps Xu Hongdou would have lost interest in him.
Because he understood the feelings of a great beauty like Xu Hongdou, Cao Meng was unwilling to appear too eager or beg her to be with him.
Not only would you lose your prestige, but you also wouldn't be able to win a woman's heart.
His psychological mechanism is correct.
Xu Hongdou's heart skipped a beat. Did this man really not respect her at all?
Compared to his women, where did I fall short?
The more Cao Meng treated her this way, the more Xu Hongdou wanted to conquer this man.
Xu Hongdou said calmly, "If you're willing to do it this way, then so be it. Anyway, I'm definitely going to stay here for the night."
I'm going to remove my makeup first!
After she finished speaking, she went to the restroom to remove her deliberately ugly makeup and restore her natural face.
She looks much prettier without makeup than with her current makeup.
Even at the prime of her life, at the age of 23, her purest beauty was revealed only when she went without makeup.
A little while later, Xu Hongdou came out of the bathroom, completely without makeup, and looked radiant.
Chapter 312: Was the suppression of Xu Hongdou excessive?
Xu Hongdou is truly a girl who suits a natural, light makeup look.
She looked really bad when she wore heavy makeup before.
When she goes without makeup, the only difference is that her dark circles are a little deeper because she often stays up late. Otherwise, there isn't much difference compared to when she wears more elaborate light makeup.
Xu Hongdou looked at Cao Meng expectantly and asked, "How do I look without makeup?"
She hoped Cao Meng would praise her, using his incredibly insightful and sophisticated perspective and words.
But Cao Meng just glanced at her indifferently and said, "It's so-so. It's a little better than your previous haphazard makeup. At least you look presentable!"
Xu Hongdou was both amused and annoyed when she heard Cao Meng's evaluation of her.
She gave a coquettish snort and said, "If I'm just a so-so-presentable person, why do you always flirt with me every time you see me?"
You clearly like me, sending all your women to seduce me, but now you're pretending you have no interest in me at all. Hypocritical!
Cao Meng shrugged and said, "Then you've misunderstood me. I flirt with women because it's a habit. I can't help but flirt with women who look decent and presentable."
As for seducing you, it's because they couldn't handle the pressure I put on them, so they wanted to drag you down with them.
Each of them had done the same thing to their best friend, and each of them would introduce their best friend to me!
Xu Hongdou pouted and gave a coquettish snort, saying, "I don't believe it. Why do you always book our hotel? Isn't it just so you can see me?"
Cao Meng couldn't help but laugh and said, "Xu Hongdou, you have a really high opinion of yourself."
If I really like you, I definitely won't let you see my playboy side.
The reason I chose your hotel is simply because your presidential suite has the best facilities, nothing more!
