Shen Qingyue felt slightly relieved when she heard a scream.
“You must have misheard. I’m the only one here,” Chi Ming walked up to her, gently took her hand, and smiled warmly like the spring breeze. “Are you hungry? Let’s go for a late-night snack.”
As autumn arrived, the weather began to cool down, but the warmth of Chi Ming’s hand burned into her heart. Shen Qingyue felt warm, as if Chi Ming had returned from a journey with a kind of magic that eased her troubled heart. Chi Ming wanted to take Shen Qingyue to a high-end restaurant, something more romantic. However, Shen Qingyue dragged him to a roadside stall instead. He could not help but cry and laugh, “You really love barbecue, huh?” “It’s so delicious!” Shen Qingyue turned to look at him, and the lights from the stall shone on her face, reflecting a faint glow. “Don’t you like it?”
Chi Ming was captivated by her words, “I love it, I love it so much…”
Shen Qingyue thought he was referring to the barbecue, so when the skewers were ready, she gave them all to Chi Ming. “You go ahead and eat.”
Chi Ming was speechless. Although he found it unhygienic, he still ate a lot in the end. As long as it was something she liked, he was willing to try it for her.
Across the street…
The assistant carefully observed Qin Zhen’s expression through the rearview mirror. Even if his boss rushed out and fought with Chi Ming the next second, he would not be surprised at all. But what he was thinking about now was whether he should help his boss in a fight or call the police?
After a while, just as the assistant was considering whether to call the police first, after all, he could find another job, but he could not engage in illegal activities, he heard his boss speak, “Drive.”
The assistant breathed a sigh of relief and stepped on the accelerator.
Qin Zhen sneered, his tone filled with disdain, as if he carried something he had never been willing to admit, “Still only knows how to eat cheap food…”
Bai Juhua had not seen David for a long time. She used to have other handsome boys accompanying her, and she was quite happy. But when she thought of David, she realized it had been over a month, and something did not feel right. In the past, if more than three days passed, little David would immediately come to cling to her. Could it be that her charm had diminished? In her opinion, she could switch men, but her kept men better not give her a bad attitude.
So she arrogantly went straight to David’s apartment. As soon as she opened the door, she saw David with a cane, his arm in a sling, his face bruised and swollen, and the color of his gray hair dim and lifeless. He was no longer the handsome guy he used to be.
“You… did you have an accident?” Bai Juhua asked dryly.
David, who had been too scared to go out because of this, came up with an idea as soon as he saw Bai Juhua. He cried, “Sister Bai, I… I didn’t have an accident! That Miss Shen from the Shen Corporation, she’s really too much… Once, I saw her being bullied by several girls in a cafe, so I helped her. I didn’t think much about it at the time, since both you and her are in the business world. I thought I could help you both a little. But when I saw her again, she found me embarrassing and let her bodyguard throw me out. I rolled down the stairs… I’ve been recovering for a month, and I didn’t dare to come see you, afraid of embarrassing you…”
Upon hearing this, Bai Juhua’s heart ached. “Don’t worry, I’ll make sure to settle this!”
David nodded tearfully, and if Shen Qingyue dared to ignore him, and if Chi Ming dared to treat him like this, this couple should pay a price.
The next day, as soon as Shen Qingyue got out of the car to go to the company, a sturdy figure rushed towards her, intending to slap her.
Instinctively, Shen Qingyue dodged, and the person continued with the momentum and bumped into the car door.
The sound made Shen Qingyue wince. But she had no sympathy for the other person and frowned, “What’s wrong with you, Miss?”
Bai Juhua rubbed her waist and angrily said, “David belongs to me! How dare you let your bodyguard beat him so badly? And now you have the nerve to ask me what’s wrong?”
“Do you have a problem? Don’t talk nonsense.” Shen Qingyue felt that there were so many mentally unstable people lately and turned to leave.
“You stop right there! Just because you’re the eldest daughter of the Shen family, you think you’re so great? You let your bodyguard beat up David until he’s unrecognizable! Your family is so domineering, not even a word of apology!” Bai Juhua became more and more agitated and was about to charge forward.
Shen Qingyue had practiced self-defense with Chen Song for a while, so dealing with Bai Juhua was more than enough. With a few moves, she pushed her away.
Bai Juhua did not expect that the seemingly weak Shen Qingyue would have such strength. She became even angrier.. At first, she wasn’t that mad, but now she rushed forward angrily, “You b*tch, I’ll kill you!”
