Chapter 45 This time I still have some brains
Li Qingqing was startled, and the chopsticks she was using to pick up food stopped in mid-air.
What's the meaning?
What did Lu Yan know?
But why would he know?
"You...what do you mean by this?" Li Qingqing put down her chopsticks and looked at him tentatively.
Lu Yan stopped what he was doing, with a complicated look in his eyes, which contained heartache, confusion, and a hint of anger.
He put down his chopsticks and turned to look at her, "Don't be so stubborn, Li Qingqing, Aze told me everything."
A flicker of panic crossed Li Qingqing's face, as if she had been exposed for some scandal. She rubbed her fingers, unsure how to respond to Lu Yan's question.
"Why didn't you tell me?"
There was dissatisfaction in Lu Yan's tone. He thought he had been good enough to her, but she never seemed to trust him completely. This distrust made him feel depressed and angry for no reason.
Li Qingqing lowered her head, her eyes instantly cold, and after a long silence, she simply said, "This is my family matter, and has nothing to do with Mr. Lu."
"How can it have nothing to do with me? You are my woman now, and your business is my business!" Lu Yan's tone was domineering and unquestionable.
Li Qingqing slowly raised her head and looked at him, with that resolute and stubborn expression on her face again, like a little beast that would never be tamed by him.
This little beast would only compromise with him briefly when it wanted something, and deep down, it never considered him as someone it could rely on.
"It's true that I'm your woman now, but that doesn't mean you have the right to interfere in my family affairs. I'll handle my own affairs myself. Mr. Lu, please don't meddle in other people's business."
Lu Yan snorted coldly, getting very angry when she kept calling him "Mr. Lu".
"When you say handle it yourself, do you mean you can endure an attempted rape like nothing happened?"
“…”
Li Qingqing was speechless after being confronted by him. After a long silence, she said calmly, "You don't understand our family situation. I have my own difficulties..."
Lu Yan was so angry that he laughed. "Isn't your concern that he is Xie Ze's father? What if I tell you that Aze himself doesn't mind his father being punished for his crimes?"
Li Qingqing looked up at him, as if she didn't expect that he even understood Xie Ze's attitude clearly.
"What do you mean? What did Aze tell you?"
"That's right. You don't even understand your own brother's thoughts, yet you always self-righteously think you're doing this for his own good. Don't you know that his living environment will have a greater impact on him than a complete family?"
Lu Yan looked into her eyes with a serious expression. "Li Qingqing, do you know that the environment will invisibly affect a person's behavior? Do you hope that he will become someone like Xie Hongde when he grows up?"
Li Qingqing listened to him quietly and began to think, maybe Lu Yan was right. Instead of trying to maintain superficial harmony, it would be better to completely remove this cancer.
But what could she do to Xie Hongde with her own strength? The sentence for attempted rape shouldn't be long, right?
She looked at Lu Yan with a pleading look, "What do you have in mind? I alone can't do anything to Xie Hongde with my testimony, right? Even if Aze is willing to testify against him, this is not a crime after all. He shouldn't be allowed to serve his sentence completely, right? When he gets out one day, I might be the first one he'll take revenge on."
Lu Yan understood her concerns very well. He held her shoulders and comforted her in a deep voice, "If you trust me, just leave this matter to me."
People like Xie Hongde, who drank, gambled, and attempted rape, he didn't believe that he had only committed this one crime. He offended Li Qingqing, which meant he offended him, and he would make him spend the rest of his life in jail no matter what.
Li Qingqing nodded doubtfully. She believed that with the power and status of someone like Lu Yan, subduing Xie Hongde should be as easy as stepping on an ant.
"If something like this happens again, remember to tell me the first time, okay? Even if you don't consider me your man, you can still consider me your resource, right?"
Although Lu Yan was dissatisfied with Li Qingqing for not relying on him completely, he was also very clear that he could not promise her anything for the time being. He just wanted to be better to her as much as possible and keep her by his side for longer and longer.
This time, Li Qingqing didn't act stubbornly. She nodded sincerely, "I understand."
"Thank you, Lu Yan."
Li Qingqing thanked him sincerely.
Lu Yan sighed and mocked her unhappily, "You still have some brains this time."
“…”
After dinner, the two returned to Wanhua Apartment. Tonight was no exception, and Lu Yan pestered her to do it for a long time.
The next day, when Li Qingqing woke up, she felt sore all over. She didn't remember when she fell asleep. She only remembered that Lu Yan carried her to the bathroom to take a shower for the last time, and then in the bathroom he... After that, she fell asleep in a daze.
Looking at the empty bed beside her, Li Qingqing knew that Lu Yan had gone to work.
She supported her sore body, got out of bed, and walked to the bathroom with difficulty to wash up.
Looking at her body in the mirror covered with purple kiss marks, Li Qingqing sighed helplessly. When could she regain her freedom and return to a normal life?
And her career, which had finally started to pick up, was ruined by Lu Yan.
Li Qingqing deeply felt the difficulty of life. Why was it so difficult for her to live like a normal person?
…
After a simple breakfast, Li Qingqing sat on the sofa in the living room, opened the recruitment software, and browsed the recruitment information on the screen. The more she looked, the more desperate she became.
This society does not give college students any hope of survival. Moreover, she is a teacher major, and finding a reliable job is harder than climbing to the sky.
Just when she was at a loss, Shen Lu sent her a message.
[Qingqing, I heard that you are no longer studying Chinese medicine with Doctor Mu?]
Li Qingqing was about to complain about this to someone, so she replied:
[Yeah, you know, I should be too embarrassed to see Dr. Mu again.]
On the other side of the screen, Shen Lu felt very guilty. It was her fault. If she hadn't been so gossipy, the current situation wouldn't have happened. But fortunately, she could still make up for it a little.
She tapped the screen quickly with her fingertips and replied: [I'm sorry, Qingqing, I didn't know my prank would cause you so much harm. But to make it up to you, I just happen to have a job to recommend to you. I guarantee it's suitable for you.]
