"You dare to hit me? You and that slut teamed up to hit me?" Hua Xiuxiu’s face was fierce, "Jiang Zihua, are you asking for death?"
Jiang Zihua hurriedly knelt on the ground, crying and begging for mercy, "Xiuxiu, I’m sorry, I really didn’t mean it. I love you so much, how could I bear to hit you? It must have been them, definitely!"
Hua Xiuxiu thought so too, and then glared at Yang Yu and Tong Li’er hatefully, "You wait, I’m calling home for the bodyguards right now!"
"Suit yourself," Yang Yu glanced at Hua Xiuxiu dismissively, "Li’er, Yu Qian, let’s go."
The three of them left together, with the sounds of Hua Xiuxiu’s shouting and cursing over the phone trailing behind them.
Seeing that Tong Li’er was in a bad mood, Yang Yu offered some words of comfort, "Li’er, let the past be the past, don’t think about it anymore. For such a man, it’s not worth it."
With red eyes and tightly pursed lips, Tong Li’er nodded, "Boss, thank you."
"Go rest," Yang Yu patted Tong Li’er’s shoulder, then went back to his own room to rest.
Just after he had finished his shower, a message from Tong Li’er came in, "Boss, could you join me for a few drinks?"
Yang Yu immediately replied, "Come on over."
Tong Li’er, too, had taken a shower, wearing a loose bathrobe, with her hair not yet fully dried hanging down naturally over her shoulders, adding a different kind of charm.
With two bottles of Chivas in hand, Tong Li’er sat down in front of the table in Yang Yu’s room, "Boss, this bottle’s yours."
"Alright," Yang Yu took the bottle, clinked glasses with Tong Li’er, "Here’s to it."
"Cheers," Tong Li’er tilted her head back and gulped down a big mouthful, then started coughing violently, her face turning red.
Yang Yu didn’t pay any attention to her, and only after she was alright did she smile at Yang Yu, "I thought the boss would avoid suspicion and not let me come over, I didn’t expect you’d agree."
"When you have no special thoughts in your heart, you naturally don’t fear gossip," Yang Yu smiled slightly too, "I know you’re feeling down. Whatever you want to say, go ahead, I’m listening."
When one is feeling down, what is needed is to talk it out, so a good listener is very important.
Since Yang Yu was willing to listen, Tong Li’er began to speak, "Actually, Wang Zihua wasn’t always ..."
The two were college classmates, and got married after graduating, striving for a life together in Yunkun City.
Their married life was originally very comfortable, and they had saved a lot of money to buy a house, but seeing classmates who were doing worse suddenly strike it rich in gambling on stones, flaunting their wealth, Wang Zihua’s mentality collapsed.
Ignoring Tong Li’er’s objections, Wang Zihua invested all their money and ended up with nothing.
Feeling upset, Wang Zihua said he wanted to travel to clear his mind and promised Tong Li’er that they would start over after returning from the trip.
Tong Li’er forgave him, and they went on the trip together. After drinking a glass of water, she became conscious.
When she woke up, she was already in a brothel in Myanmar.
If it hadn’t been for her loud screaming which caught Tong Lizhou’s attention, who bought her and saved her, her life would have probably been ruined.
That’s why she would be grateful to Tong Lizhou for the rest of her life.
"Wang Zihua back then was so spirited, saying that he would make a fortune and support me for life, I believed his nonsense, and look what happened... heh." While talking about the past, Tong Li’er kept drinking, and before she knew it, the bottle was empty.
Tong Li’er’s face was pink like peach blossoms, her drunken eyes enchanting, "Boss, you just said, you have no special thoughts about me?"
"Yeah," Yang Yu laughed, "There’s no need for anything to happen between a man and a woman."
"Hehe, hypocritical." Tong Li’er stood up, but suddenly her legs gave way and she collapsed to the floor.
Yang Yu reached out to support Tong Li’er’s waist, and she promptly wrapped her arms around Yang Yu’s neck, her eyes sultry: "Boss, if you really don’t have that kind of thoughts all men have, why do we have two madams?"
"Cough cough..." Yang Yu coughed a few times, helped Tong Li’er up, and put her back in her seat, "Anyway, some things aren’t what you imagine..."
"When a man is not interested in a woman, it’s either because he looks down on her, I understand." Tong Li’er chuckled, "I’m second-hand goods, and while I was with Master Tong, there were so many rumors and gossip about me, my reputation wasn’t good. So, it’s normal for you, Boss, to look down on me."
"That’s not what I mean." Yang Yu looked at Tong Li’er earnestly, "Li’er, let me put it this way, I actually think you all are quite beautiful, and maybe sometimes I have fleeting thoughts, but the difference between humans and beasts lies in self-restraint."
"Selin and I are already engaged, I can’t just see one and love one, that would only hurt everyone, wouldn’t it?"
"Boss, I get it now." Tong Li’er looked at Yang Yu with a playful smile, "Lustful thoughts but no guts, right?"
