Chapter 473 Her hobby is keeping young and handsome "gigolos".

"..."

Seeing Qu Qingli walking towards them, Shang Shiyan's eyes darkened, and he pulled Pei Jinwu behind him.

He had his doubts.

That woman was looking at Wuwu that day, not him.

"Mr. Shang, it's a pleasure to meet you."

Qu Qingli stopped in her tracks, her eyes narrowed slightly, and her red lips curved into a faint smile.

"Is that so?"

Shang Shiyan stared indifferently at the woman with a beaming smile who was staring at Pei Jinwu, and said coldly, "Do you think I'm happy?"

If she hadn't saved Wuwu, would she still be able to hang around in front of him?

"Forehead."

Qu Qingli's smile froze.

He has such a bad temper; I don't know what that girl saw in him.

"Miss Pei, I heard you're also attending the party, so I specially saved a piece of cake for you."

Qu Qingli handed over the box in her hand.

"She doesn't eat food given by outsiders." Shang Shiyan held Pei Jinwu's hand, his tone cold and unapproachable.

Why did he feel that this woman was trying to curry favor with Wuwu?

Damn it!

Could he actually be interested in Wuwu?

"I want to eat."

Just then, Pei Jinwu's voice suddenly rang out, and she took the cake from him.

Shang Shiyan: "..."

Qu Qingli raised an eyebrow, waved to her, then, holding a wine glass, mingled into the crowd.

soon.

Many elite and successful men approached her, trying to curry favor with her.

Qu Qingli smiled alluringly, handling this kind of occasion with ease.

"I have already repaid the debt of gratitude that Qu Qingli saved you."

Shang Shiyan lazily withdrew his gaze, looking tenderly at Pei Jinwu, and reminded her in a hoarse voice, "Don't get too close to her in the future."

I heard that her hobby is keeping young and handsome "gigolos".

Don't let him corrupt Wuwu.

"..."

Pei Jinwu glanced at Qu Qingli, smiling charmingly as she moved among the men, yet her behavior was not at all out of line.

Is she smiling?

That smile seemed to carry more bitterness than anything else.

——

Pei Jinwu dislikes these kinds of occasions.

I'm even less inclined to deal with it.

I simply found a quiet corner, ate some snacks, and enjoyed the breeze.

In the blink of an eye.

I saw a woman wearing a trench coat standing under a locust tree not far away.

The night was hazy.

The dim streetlights shone on her, and a sense of familiarity washed over her.

"Fourth Sister."

Pei Jinwu was momentarily distracted and subconsciously spoke up.

"?"

Upon hearing the sound, Qu Qingli suddenly turned around.

Upon seeing the person opposite him, the deep sadness on his face vanished instantly, and he returned to his previous carefree, lazy, and casual demeanor.

"Miss Pei."

Qu Qingli stubbed out her cigarette, her red lips curving into a gentle smile: "I just heard you call me...sister?"

That call brought her back to her childhood.

I almost thought it was my younger sister.

"Sorry, I've mistaken you for someone else."

Upon approaching, Pei Jinwu regained consciousness.

It turns out that Shang Shiyan wasn't lying that day; her back view really did resemble her fourth sister.

You insulted him for nothing.

"Miss Pei, are you also out here seeking some peace and quiet?" Qu Qingli didn't argue with her, a faint smile appearing on her lips.

"Um."

Pei Jinwu nodded, took the snacks, and slowly walked forward: "Want some?"

ah?

Looking at the various snacks in front of her, Qu Qingli almost couldn't help but laugh.

Ask her in a "big boss" tone if she wants some.

I thought they were drinking.

So, all that was about eating snacks?

What a child!

"Give me some."

Qu Qingli was not disappointed and picked out a bag of dried mangoes from a pile of snacks.

"..."

Pei Jinwu's pupils contracted, and she pursed her lips.

That's all.

Anyway, I ate two pieces of her cake.

Then.

The two sat under the locust tree, chatting idly.

“My whole family is dead.”

Qu Qingli had drunk some wine, her cheeks were flushed, and her high heels were casually tossed aside.

That's strange.

She never mentioned these things to outsiders.

“I used to be the same,” Pei Jinwu replied.

"once?"

Qu Qingli turned her head away, unsure if she had been drinking and her mind was foggy.

"Hmm." Pei Jinwu chewed her bubble gum, her expression quite calm: "But now she's alive again."

No.

Sixth sister and parents have not yet been found.

It's uncertain whether all of them are alive.

"etc."

Qu Qingli rubbed her temples; she must have drunk too much and her mind was muddled.

She's hallucinating.

"I found my family later." Pei Jinwu blew a huge bubble.

After saying it, I felt it wasn't quite right.

Wouldn't that make Qu Qingli feel uncomfortable?

"so good?"

Qu Qingli looked at Pei Jinwu with envy, her joy mixed with loneliness, "Miss Pei, you are so lucky."

"It's not very good either."

Pei Jinwu stared at her, her eyes full of sincerity, but her heart seemed to be choked with anger.

She was afraid the orphanage director wouldn't wake up.

Even more frightening...

My sixth sister really did perish in that fire.

"Always look forward."

Qu Qingli tossed her long hair and looked at Pei Jinwu's face: "Those who are alive must live well, don't you think?"

Although she was smiling, the light above her head reflected the tears in her eyes.

Tsk.

I'm a sad frog myself, yet I've learned to comfort others.

"Who are the people in your family?" Pei Jinwu asked curiously.

"My home?"

Qu Qingli paused, just as she was about to answer, when a man suddenly walked over from not far away.

He seemed drunk, walking unsteadily.

"What are you two pretty girls doing sitting here?"

Upon seeing Pei Jinwu and Qu Qingli, his eyes lit up, and a wicked smile curled at the corner of his mouth: "Come on, have a drink with your brother, and I'll buy you bags."

"..."

Pei Jinwu stopped chewing her bubble gum and narrowed her eyes dangerously.

"Get out of here."

Qu Qingli spoke coldly and without any politeness, then grasped Pei Jinwu's hand with exceptional confidence: "Don't be afraid, I'll protect you."

This should be the back garden, which is quite far from the main hall.

If you call for help, no one may hear you.

Pei Jinwu is so small; she doesn't look like she can endure hardship. Don't scare her.

"..."

Pei Jinwu glanced at Qu Qingli, who reeked of alcohol, was barefoot, and had messy hair.

Who's protecting whom?

"Don't be stubborn and refuse to listen to reason." The man's hand, which had been grabbing at her, missed its mark. Alcohol taking effect, he swore, "Do you know who I am? If you offend me, do you know what will happen to you?"

"Tell me what happened to him."

Pei Jinwu slightly raised her head, her eyes deep and indifferent, her tone calm and showing no fear whatsoever.

"Ignore him."

Qu Qingli still retained some rationality. She stood in front of Pei Jinwu and urged, "Miss Pei, you go first."

"Trying to leave?"

Enraged, the man stepped forward, swearing, and said, "None of the women I've set my sights on will escape."

"..."

As the man was about to touch her, Pei Jinwu's eyes turned cold.

When preparing to teach the other party a lesson.

"Get the hell out of here! How dare you, a dog of a man, touch her?"

Qu Qingli, who was in front of her, was faster and smashed a high heel on the man's head.

"If you don't get out of here, believe me, I'll kill you!"

My family and loved ones are all dead.

We finally found someone who's like a younger sister, how can we let her be bullied?

"???"

Pei Jinwu's heart skipped a beat.

illusion?

Miss Qu's fiery manner is even more like that of her fourth sister.

——

good evening.
