Chapter 24
It was almost eleven o'clock when she returned to the villa. Su Xi finished taking a bath, hugged Baxi and nestled on the sofa and called Sheng Yangyang to report that she was safe.
I also wanted to ask how her conversation with Lu Mingsheng was going, and whether there was any quarrel?
The phone kept ringing until it was about to hang up before someone picked it up. It was Lu Mingsheng's voice, deep and hoarse, "She may not be able to answer your call. Is there anything you need to convey?"
Sheng Yangyang's crying voice came over the phone, "Ming Sheng!"
Su Xi hung up the phone in confusion.
Her cheeks were burning and she couldn't help but grit her teeth. Sheng Yangyang, a pervert who couldn't withstand the enemy's sugar-coated bullets!
...
When Su Xi came back from Ling's house the next afternoon, she received a courier and a big box, which contained the jewelry and clothes Sheng Yangyang gave her last night.
Su Xi picked out a pair of earrings that didn't look too eye-catching and planned to give them to Qingning. However, when she went home on Monday and passed by the dessert shop, other clerks told her that Qingning had taken leave for something and didn't come to work.
At noon on Wednesday, Su Xi received a call from Ling Yihang and asked her to meet.
Su Xi thought something had happened and took a taxi to a Chinese restaurant they had made an appointment with. There was the Ling family's car parked outside the restaurant and a bodyguard in a suit standing outside the car.
Entering the restaurant, Su Xi found Ling Yihang and asked in a serious voice, "What happened?"
Ling Yihang looked relaxed when he arrived, "It's okay, don't be nervous, I just want to treat you to a meal!"
Su Xi looked at him suspiciously.
"Really, what do you want to eat?" Ling Yihang pushed the menu in front of Su Xi.
Su Xi put down her bag and leaned back on the chair, "Tell me, what is going on?"
Ling Yihang put his hands on the table with a serious look on his face, "My second uncle seems to be not very satisfied with you and wants to fire you."
"Oh!" Su Xi breathed a sigh of relief. She thought it was something serious.
This time, Ling Yihang was confused, "Why aren't you in a hurry?"
"What's the hurry?" Su Xi asked.
Ling Yihang frowned, "You don't want to make money to treat your grandfather?"
"I think so, but can I influence your second uncle's thoughts?" Su Xi picked up the water glass with a slightly helpless expression.
Ling Yihang said, "You can't, but I can. I can put in a good word for you and let my second uncle keep you!"
Su Xi looked at the kid in front of her and suddenly smiled, "You want me to help you with something?"
Ling Yihang said in a mature tone, "Young man, don't be so powerful. There is no interest relationship between people, so why can't you help?"
Su Xi nodded in agreement, "You are right, I am superficial!"
"But," Ling Yihang grinned, "I do want to ask you to do me a small favor."
Su Xi snorted coldly, with an expected expression on her face, "Tell me, what is going on?"
Ling Yihang leaned forward and whispered, "I am only telling you this as I treat you as myself."
Su Xi narrowed her eyes, "It's an honor!"
Ling Yihang continued, "The teacher wants me to ask parents to go to school, please help me go!"
Su Xi raised her eyebrows in surprise, "You didn't do well in the exam?"
"How is that possible?" Ling Yihang sneered arrogantly, and then showed a hint of guilty expression, "I beat up two classmates in our class!"
Su Xi frowned and looked at him, "You had a fight with your classmates, were you injured?"
"No, my second uncle and I have been practicing boxing for so long, it's more than enough to deal with them."
Su Xi breathed a sigh of relief, "Why are we fighting?"
"Who told them to bully others?" Ling Yihang looked annoyed, "Just because Zhao Wenkai didn't let them copy the answers during the exam, they made trouble for him every day, and even pissed his pants in the toilet today. I can't stand it.
Just started it!"
Su Xi said in astonishment, "You have done something brave for a just cause. Are you going to commend it when the teacher asked you to call your parents?"
Ling Yihang looked at her unexpectedly, "Are you serious?"
