The next day, Li Qianluo didn't get up until the bell rang at 12:30 a.m. Looking at her room confusedly, she almost forgot how she returned home.
She indistinctly remembered what happened last night. Bewildered by the bruises and bites on her body, she was thinking about how to conceal them to go to work later.
But thank god that she could sleep a little longer, for she would go on duty at three o'clock in the afternoon.
She suddenly felt that something was wrong. An episode passed through her mind, dispelling her sleepiness completely.
It seemed that she went to a hotel yesterday and hugged a man other than Si Jinheng...
Who was that man? She remembered nothing about him but a handsome face dimly. Who was he?
Oh, my god! How could this happen! No, she must dry out! Dry out!!
At Blue Island Mall.
Li Qianluo received a phone call from a stranger when she was on duty. "Hello, this is People's Court of D city. Please come to get your court summons!"
Court summons? Did Qi Zeming and Fu Xinru start their revenge? "Can I know the details?"
"The plaintiff, Ms. Fu Xinru, accused the defendant, Ms. Li Qianluo, of such crimes as intentional injury, attempted murder and deliberate murder." The cold voice of the man on the line gave Li Qianluo an illusion that she would be arrested by the police very soon.
"OK, I see. Thank you!" She should not vent her anger on him, for he was just an employee passing on the message.
After hesitating for a long time, Li Qianluo decided to call Si Jinheng all the same, because he is the only one who can help her. Besides, she should not be screwed by him for nothing...
Si Jinheng's mobile phone vibrated, when he was talking with Shao Mian. Seeing a call from the little woman, he smiled imperceptibly.
"Speak!"
The cold and haughty voice scared Li Qianluo so that she almost forgot about why she made the call in the first place. After she recovered from a blank mind, she said dully, "Boss Si, I need your help."
Si Jinheng threw his eye on Shao Mian, who looked at him curiously. After a dry cough, Shao Mian looked down at a document at once.
"I know. Don't worry. I will handle it."
He knew? "What do you know? I didn't even say what it was." Li Qianluo kept fiddling about with a green plant.
"Could it be anything else that is not about Qi Zeming?" Is it because deeper love results in deeper hatred that she remembered the hatred for Qi Zeming so deeply?
"Ho-ho. Boss Si, you are awesome. Thank you. Bye!"
"Wait!"
The moment before Li Qianluo hurried to hang up, she heard his voice and placed the mobile phone on her ear again.
"What's my reward?"
...
"Name it!" Li Qianluo answered generously. She will promise him whatever he asks, because he has helped her a lot.
"I will pick you up after work this evening!"
"Pick me up? For what?" asked Li Qianluo innocently, without realizing his intention.
But the man just hung up the phone...
After staring at the mobile phone blankly for a while, Li Qianluo sent a message to Lu Zixi via WeChat, asking, "What happened last night specifically?"
Thinking that Lu Zixi must be at work, too, she intended to put her mobile phone away in the pocket for later check. But the message was quickly replied with a few words, making Li Qianluo bewildered. "Li Qianluo, you are still alive?"
Of course. Why did he talk nonsense? But she still remembered clearly how Si Jinheng tortured her last night. That's why she enquired about why Si Jinheng became so abnormal suddenly.
"Nonsense. If I were not alive, how could I send you this message?"
"Li Qianluo, you are so stupid to two-time your husband, tsk tsk tsk..."
"??? Be clear." Li Qianluo could not figure out what he meant at all.
Then Lu Zixi replied her with a long passage, describing what happened last night in detail. "Guess what? Your husband looked like the Shura destroying the universe, when he saw you in that man's arms, " he added in the end. The man you hugged kept smiling though, he was absolutely not simple. When two remarkable men met and had conflicts, tsk tsk tsk... it is completely a prelude to doomsday!"
"What the hell! How can you say I two-time him? I don't even know that man... I only remember his profile roughly. He is handsome!"
Li Qianluo roughly knew about the situation. It turned out that she even hugged another man in front of Si Jinheng and was not willing to go with him!
Li Qianluo admired herself for being so bravely. No wonder Si Jinheng, the beast in bed, was so anxious to completely own her. She finally knew the reason!
When she returned to the store, all the staff were busy receiving guests. Li Qianluo felt a little sorry and hurried to continue her work.
But she did not notice a woman - Zheng Linrui, Fu Xinru's bosom friend. As the second daughter of Zheng Hang, CEO of Meilin Decoration Group in D city, she works for her family business. The woman beside her is her best friend, Luo Xinxin, who is the youngest daughter of Luo Jinwei, CEO of Fujiang Group in D city.
Zheng Linrui touched Luo Xinxin and then pointed at Li Qianluo. "Look, is the woman in a uniform Li Qianluo?" Luo Xinxin, in a one-piece of the latest fashion, looked in a mirror to find that the woman was no other than Li Qianluo.
Zheng Linrui smiled disdainfully, for Li Qianluo was reduced even to be a shopping guide. Recalling that she scratched Fu Xinru's face some time ago, Zheng Linrui made a phone call to Fu Xinru.
After hanging up the phone, Zheng Linrui checked the time on the mobile phone. As it was almost time for going off work, she decided to enjoy the show tomorrow!
"Li Qianluo, a woman with nothing, dares to fight against the Qi and Fu families. She is really a contemptible scoundrel", thought she.
At nine o'clock p.m.
Li Qianluo went off work on time after putting the cleaned mop away in the tool room. She pounded her slightly sore waist and went towards the changing room.
After sending the sales data of that day, Yu Wanwan immediately followed Li Qianluo.
"Wanwan, ride my motorbike home tonight! My husband will come to pick me up!" said Li Qianluo, for she remembered Si Jinheng would come to pick her up later, so that Wanwan would not need to catch the bus.
"No, that's your new motorbike and I am poor at riding a motorbike..." It will be a pity if it is damaged! Yu Wanwan still refused it after a second thought.
"That's all right. It is just a motorbike. Ride it slowly. I am confident in your skills!" She shoved the key into Yu Wanwan's hand and started to get changed.
"Qianluo, are you married?" asked another workmate called Ji Qian, who was changing clothes together with them. She looked at Li Qianluo, a little surprised, for Qianluo looked still very young!
"Yes, alas, I didn't expect that, too!" Thinking of Si Jinheng, Li Qianluo sighed that destiny and fate were really miraculous.
Glancing at Li Qianluo unconsciously, Yu Wanwan saw the bruises on her chest and neck as Li Qianluo had taken off her uniform.
