Chapter 78
The girl shrank back and her body shook even more violently.
This sentence directly annoyed Sui He, "Why are you yelling? You didn't say anything just now and I thought you were mute. It turns out you are a coward who only bullies the weak and fears the strong."
Liang Tingshen's face changed, but he didn't say anything. Seeing this, those who wanted to flatter him stepped forward and acted as peacemakers.
"Oh, it's not a big deal. Let's all sit down and have a good talk. There must be some misunderstanding."
"Calm down, calm down, don't make trouble for someone who has nothing to do with you."
This made Sui He seem to be being unreasonable.
Chi Qi rolled his eyes toward the sky.
[Do these people have long heads to look taller? 】
A thin man walked to the door and said arrogantly, "See, the person inside is the one Mr. Liang holds in his heart. If you have a little self-awareness, leave quickly and don't disturb everyone's interest. This is not a place you can enter."
The girl clenched her fists and said in a trembling voice, "Sorry... I'm sorry to bother you. I'll leave now."
Sui He slammed the table in annoyance, making a loud bang. "Shut up, everyone. She is my guest. Who dares to chase her away?"
She swept her sharp eyes over the crowd, "The welcoming banquet is for me, I am the host, anyone who doesn't recognize their identity and takes the initiative, get out now."
As soon as these words were spoken, the box fell silent and no one dared to make any small movements anymore.
[Good, good scolding!] There should be applause here (clap clap clap)]
The skinny man failed to steal the chicken and lost the rice, so he hid behind with a smirk.
The girl didn't expect that a stranger would come to her rescue, so she raised her head slightly to look at Sui He.
So cool, and has such a strong aura.
After seeing the other person's appearance clearly, she sighed in her heart that she and her sponsor's white moonlight really looked alike, except that her facial lines were softer, giving her a more fragile and harmless look.
Sui He personally walked over, took her hand, and asked gently, "Do you want to come in?"
The development of the matter was beyond her expectations. Su Qiuning rolled her eyes. Her intuition told her that she should stay, so she nodded in obedience to her heart.
Seeing the girl really come in, everyone had different looks. The Chi siblings watched the fun and waved, "Sit next to me."
There was a cold look in Liang Tingshen's eyes, and he seemed very dissatisfied with this scene.
"Thank you." Su Qiu Ning still kept her head down and sat down stiffly.
Chi Qi took a casual glance and was stunned. He didn't even notice that the melon seeds in his hand fell to the ground.
What surprised him was not the similarity between the girl and Sui He, but that the girl was an acquaintance - the girl who was badly hurt by him in the cinema!
Su Qiu Ning used her peripheral vision to look around, and when she saw Chi Qi, she was also shocked, and forgot to pretend for a moment, "Why are you here?"
Chi Qi replied subconsciously, "I'll come over to eat..." He swallowed the word "melon" in time, "Come to attend the welcoming banquet."
Chi Sulu next to him smelled something wrong, patted Chi Qi's thigh lightly, and gave him a look that said "Do you know him?"
The two of them were acting intimately, and it was obvious that they had a special relationship. Su Qiu Ning looked at one and then that, and suddenly she realized that the anchor was hooking up with a rich woman!
She formed a harmonious logical chain. No wonder Chi Qi stopped live streaming recently. It turned out that he had found a cash cow and no longer cared about the small profits in the live streaming room.
Chi Qi didn't know what the other person was thinking, and was anxious to get information, "Why are you here?"
Su Qiu Ning made a hushing gesture and said, "It's a long story."
Chi Qi stopped eating melon seeds and said, "Then just keep it short."
Su Qiuning briefly summarized it in four words: "Life is forced."
If her major had not been so rubbish and she had not been able to find a job after graduation, she would not have stood on the street handing out flyers in such hot weather. When she was almost suffering from heatstroke, she would not have met Liang Tingshen, a hypocritical man.
The air that day was particularly stuffy, and the sunlight was so bright that people couldn't open their eyes. Su Qiu Ning was sweating profusely from the heat and just wanted to finish distributing the flyers quickly and then go to rest.
Holding the last flyer in her hand, Su Qiu Ning was overjoyed and handed it to the passerby closest to her, thinking that she could take a break after completing her task.
Unexpectedly, a passerby grabbed her, his eyes were heavy, as if he was looking through her at another person, and he said, "Be my stand-in."
Su Qiu Ning was so excited at that time that she thought God had finally opened his eyes. The thing she and her best friend had fantasized about happened: she was about to become a rich man's substitute for Bai Yueguang. The rich man would take her home, give her several million every month and ignore her. After a few years, Bai Yueguang would come back, and the rich man would give her a check for 100 million and tell her to get out.
Later, she realized how absurd her idea was. Liang Tingshen's so-called love was just like the flyers she distributed. As long as one looked like Bai Yueguang, everyone who saw him would have a share.
Liang Tingshen asked his secretary to draw up a contract for being a substitute. When Su Qiuning saw the words "monthly salary of RMB 10,000" and "on call" written in black and white, she felt dizzy and wanted to quit.
The secretary seemed to see through her plan and said meaningfully, "Think about it carefully. It's not easy to find a job nowadays."
Su Qiu Ning gritted her teeth and signed her name with trembling hands.
Before entering the box, she had always thought that Liang Tingshen's white moonlight was a gentle person, because every requirement in the contract hinted that she should move closer to this kind of personality. She was forced to become timid in front of Liang Tingshen, speaking in a soft voice and relying on him like a little bird.
Now it seems that it is just the opposite. Bai Yueguang has an outstanding temperament and is a strong woman with her own ideas and ambition.
Su Qiu Ning spat in her heart. She guessed what Liang Tingshen was thinking. He simply wanted to find the feeling of victory on a similar face since he failed to conquer Bai Yueguang.
It's so disgusting.

Sui He folded his hands and demanded firmly, "If you can't give me a reasonable explanation, our cooperation will end here."
When it comes to cooperation between the two companies and it concerns interests, it cannot be brushed off with a few words.
Liang Tingshen nodded slightly, "I'm sorry, I handled it inappropriately and offended you."
Sui He frowned, "I'm not the only one you've offended."
It was extremely unlucky for both her and the girl who was used as a substitute.
Chi Qi pointed at the fruits in the fruit bowl and said with emotion, "This is strawberry, this is blueberry. It's your bad luck that Liang Tingshen targeted you."
Su Qiuning, "..."
What truth are you talking about?
Liang Tingshen kept silent.
Thinking that she could get away with it by pretending to be deaf and dumb, as if it had never happened, Sui He turned around and began to ask for confirmation, "You all know that Liang Tingshen likes me?"
Everyone was silent, not wanting to get involved in the chaos. Only Xu Xuxu nodded rapidly, "Yeah, yeah!"
Sui He's anger was building up in his chest, and he was on the verge of exploding. He patiently asked, "Did Liang Tingshen tell you in person?"
The outspoken Xu Xuxu said casually: "When he was drunk, he called out your name. If that's not love, what else could it be? And every time we teased him that he liked you, he never denied it. If he didn't deny it, wouldn't that be an admission?"
"Okay, very good." Sui He frowned even more deeply. "Since that's the case, it's a fact recognized by everyone that you like me, so please tell me, what have you done for me over the years?"
After waiting for a few seconds and getting no answer, she continued, "Why don't you speak? Is it because you haven't done anything for me and can't say it?"
"First, you never confessed your love to me, and second, you never took any real action to pursue me. You never even sent me a blessing on holidays. How come others say you are the affectionate man who must be with me?"
"Also, am I dead and I'll never see you again? You keep saying you miss me, but I haven't seen you go abroad to look for me once in all these years."
Xu Xuxu gasped, "Is Brother Liang's family bankrupt? How come they don't even have money to buy a plane ticket?"
[Not only that, I can’t even pay the phone bill. 】
Chi Qi was amazed when he heard this.
[You have to be the one pretending to be affectionate. Jay Zhou listened to your secret love story and wrote three new singles on the spot. 】
Most of the people present were normal, but after listening to Sui He's words, they figured out something was wrong.
Can you say you love someone without paying anything?
That's definitely not possible.
It turned out that Liang Tingshen was just performing a one-man show, and he also deceived his friends who were unaware of the truth. They actually thought he was deeply in love.
Sensing that the gazes falling on him had changed their meaning, Liang Ting took a deep breath and said reluctantly, "Because you are too dazzling, I always feel that I am not worthy of you and dare not approach you. You deserve better than me."
"Of course, trash like you is not worthy of me."
Sui He picked up the wine glass and poured it over, "You like me, but you pretend to miss me and openly look for a substitute. Your love is really cheap."
Chi Qi acts as the atmosphere group.
[Great!] Finally it spilled! 】
The wine dripped down the man's hair, gradually staining his clothes, leaving obvious stains. Liang Tingshen looked rarely embarrassed, and anger burned in his eyes.
Sui He didn't care about his mood, as long as she felt relieved. If there was only one bottle of wine on the table, she could have poured it a few more times.
Remembering that there was another victim, she turned around and asked Su Qiuning, "How much does he pay you per month?"
Su Qiu Ning stretched out a finger.
"One million?"
Su Qiu Ning shook her head.
"One hundred thousand?"
Su Qiu Ning continued to shake her head.
"Less than 100,000?" Sui He couldn't believe it. "You can't even afford the money, and you still have the nerve to find a substitute? Do you know what a CEO is?"
It's so shameless.
She pointed at Liang Tingshen and said to Su Qiuning, "If you slap him, I'll give you 10,000 yuan. Will you do it? Or do you want to continue to be his stand-in?"
Chi Qi was so eager to recommend himself.
[Me, me, me!] I am the best at slapping people! I don't need ten thousand, just give me one thousand. 】
Chi Sulu really wanted him not to disrupt the market price.
Liang Tingshen did not dare to blame Sui He because she had the support of the Sui family. However, he showed his hatred for Su Qiuning without any concealment and took out all his anger on her.
"Don't be afraid, just fight, I'll protect you."
Seeing Su Qiuning approaching step by step, Liang Tingshen threatened, "She can protect you for a while, but not for a lifetime. If you still want to gain a foothold in City A..."
Su Qiu Ning moved her wrists and smiled slightly, "I forgot to tell you, I'm on shore."
She studied day and night just for this moment. Her original plan was to wait until the dust settled before leaving Liang Tingshen, the scum. Now with Sui He's help, she can save a lot of effort.
The sound of slapping continued. Su Qiu Ning was extremely excited. She counted each slap in a loud voice, fearing that others could not hear clearly.
Everyone was shocked by this dramatic turn. Liang Tingshen wanted to resist, but was held down by Sui He.
Her fighting ability is no joke, it is more than enough to deal with three Liang Tingshen.
*
I thought it was just an ordinary welcoming banquet, but I didn't expect it to turn into such a big drama.
After today, Liang Tingshen's reputation is ruined. There will be inevitable rumors in the circle in the short term. He is so proud that he certainly can't stand being talked about by others.
Chi Qi dropped something and went back to get it. It took him several minutes to go back and forth until he reached the door of the bar again.
Su Qiu Ning called out to him, "Hey, hide for a while."
Chi Qi was puzzled, "Why should I hide?"
Su Qiuning reminded him, "Look over there."
Looking in that direction, Chi Qi saw that his brother-in-law had come over at some point and was hugging his sister in an intimate manner. Then he looked around and quickly kissed his sister on the forehead.
Feeling that the air was emitting a sour smell, Chi Qi couldn't bear to watch it. Whenever these two met, they would definitely kiss, hug, and lift each other up high, and be sticky for a while.
Su Qiu Ning misunderstood and thought he was disappointed, so she consoled him, "After all, you can't stand the light..."
Chi Qi didn't understand what she said, "I'm not afraid of being exposed to the light, so why can't I be exposed to the light?"
Is it that the times are changing too fast or is she just ignorant? Is it true that being kept is no longer something to be ashamed of?
She asked, "Aren't you afraid of being beaten by the queen? I see that the queen is quite tall. Can your small body withstand the beating?"
Chi Qi was even more confused, "What queen?"
"Is that the man from before?" Su Qiu Ning described his appearance. "Is he also being kept by someone?"
That beautiful sister has really good taste. The person she picked is not only good-looking but also has a different style. When can I live a life like this?
"You have a very vivid imagination. He is my brother-in-law and the other is my sister." After a pause, he added, "Dear, blood is thicker than water!"
Su Qiu Ning said, "So... you are really a rich man?"
Chi Qi waved his hand to deny, "I'm not a rich man, my family is just rich."
“…”
I want to compete with you rich second generation guys.
"Hmm? Where are the people?"
Chi Sulu was no longer outside the conversation room. Bad thoughts came to his mind, and he quickly took out his cell phone and called, "Sister, where are you?"
"I'm on my way."
Chi Qi was disheveled in the wind, "Sister, think carefully, have you forgotten anything?"
"No, I didn't bring anything with me when I went out."
Chi Qi jumped up and yelled, "Me! Sister, you forgot about me!"
"Oh~ sorry, wait, get out of the way and stop kissing me." The rustling sound of clothes came from the other end of the phone. "Hang up first, sister will transfer money to you, you can take a taxi back by yourself."
“…”
The big words "Call ended" were particularly eye-catching. Chi Qi was filled with grief and indignation. Am I also a part of your play?
A new message popped up on his phone. It was Xie Mu asking him which bar he was in.
Chi Qi gave his name, but Xie Mu didn't respond. Unsure of the other party's plan, he lowered his head and started fiddling with how to hail a taxi.
He used a large-value coupon, and the location was a bit remote, so no driver was willing to accept the order.
I crossed out the price increase notice again, and a low-key black car drove over from a distance.
The car window slowly rolled down, revealing Xie Mu's handsome face.
Chi Qi was overjoyed, opened the car door and sat in the passenger seat, "What a timely relief! I almost had to sleep on the street tonight."
He turned his head to see Xie Mu's big, bony hands holding the steering wheel. Beneath the thin skin on the back of his palms were blue veins with distinct veins that contained vigorous power.
His thoughts were pulled away and yellow waste popped up in his head.
[No, no, I'm so dirty, what am I thinking about? 】
He spat on himself fiercely, then thought again.
[I am a young and energetic boy. I don’t smoke or drink. What’s wrong with being a little bit naughty? 】
After successfully convincing himself, he suddenly came to his senses and found that Xie Mu's arm was across and wrapped around him. Chi Qi immediately tensed up, "What are you doing?"
Why are you so close to him? Are you so eager to get close to him?
Xie Mu said calmly: "You didn't wear a seat belt. I called you several times just now but you didn't respond."
"......oh."
The car scene was receding outside the car window and it was getting late.
Chi Qi opened his phone to check his Moments, and it happened that his sister had updated her Moments a minute ago. It was a love story copied from somewhere, and it was accompanied by a photo of the two people’s backs that created a very special atmosphere.
"That's too much! They just show off their affection every day." The more he watched, the angrier he got. He couldn't help but condemn his sister's irresponsible behavior. "You know what? My sister kissed me and forgot about me. Really, is the mouth so kissable?"
As he spoke, he pursed his delicate lips, making them look even redder. His plump lips pouted slightly, making him look very kissable.
[Some people are in love, some people are cheating, some people are looking for substitutes, only I am single from beginning to end! 】
[Open the food delivery app but don’t know what to eat? Suddenly I want to taste the bitterness of love. 】
There was a traffic light ahead and the car was forced to stop.
After Chi Qi finished complaining, he heard no response. He looked up in confusion and met the dark and deep eyes. For some reason, he felt danger and his heartbeat gradually accelerated.
His butt felt like it was pricked by a needle and he twisted his body uncomfortably, and he was talking nonsense in his heart.
[Always looking at me, do you like me?
Since you like me, then go for it boldly. Don’t wait until you regret it and hide in your bed listening to the clock going in the opposite direction. 】
You said it yourself.
The green light came on, Xie Mu put one hand on the gear lever, turned the steering wheel and turned into a small road without street lights.
"You're going the wrong way. This is not the direction."
“That’s the right way.”
There was no one in the alley, it was pitch black, but on the long street a hundred meters away, the road was wide and the speeding cars drew streaks of light and shadows in the night.
The huge contrast made Chi Qi feel like he was far away from this world.
Why come here?
The answer seemed to be on the verge of coming out, and he clenched his hands nervously.
After Xie Mu parked the car, he exhaled, and in front of Chi Qi's slightly shocked gaze, he leaned over to him and whispered, "I also want to know whether the mouth is kissable or not. Can you let me try?"
