Chapter 8: The male prostitute actually used her husband's credit card?
Encouraged by alcohol, Qu Xiang bared her teeth and claws, ready to pounce. Shen Li was startled; Lu Yanchuan was no pushover who would stand up for himself.
Every single one of the members of the Jiangcheng princeling circle is someone you shouldn't mess with.
The male model beside her, realizing that he was not someone to be trifled with, put his arm around Qu Xiang's waist.
Shen Li finally breathed a sigh of relief.
The foreman was frantic, unable to afford to offend either side, so he could only try to smooth things over with a smile.
He said repeatedly, "Don't be angry, don't be angry, harmony brings wealth!"
Xin Yang was filled with regret, wondering why he had even set up this scheme. Now look what's happened! Yan Chuan's punishment for him was yet to come.
Xin Yang could only plead with Shen Li with a pained expression, "Sister-in-law, please have mercy and come with us?"
Their attitude was incredibly humble.
Although Shen Li has a stubborn personality, she is not used to making things too difficult for others.
She pursed her lips, just about to get up.
Lu Yanchuan glanced at her with a cold gaze, then looked away. "Let her be. I'm leaving."
He then turned and left without giving her another glance.
Even his back view seemed chilling and desolate.
As soon as Lu Yanchuan left, the others followed suit and left as well.
The supervisor breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Mrs. Lu. She didn't seem to have a good relationship with President Lu, but she was someone he couldn't afford to offend.
He quickly replied, "Mrs. Lu, please feel free to call me if you need anything."
Shen Li's gaze snapped back from the direction of the bar's entrance.
Shen Li glanced at Qu Xiang, who was not quite sober, and asked, "Could you help me get my friend out of here?"
"Okay, okay." The supervisor felt like she was sending away a jinx, and quickly pointed to the two male models, "You two, help Mrs. Lu help her friend out."
Shen Li glanced at the table's bill and was just about to pay.
The supervisor then asked, "Mrs. Lu, shall we put this on Mr. Lu's tab?"
Shen Li paused in her action of picking up her phone, then looked at the supervisor, "Yes."
She glanced at the line of male models, pointed at them, and continued, "Including the money for them to play games."
"Okay," the supervisor replied politely, thinking to himself, "These rich people really know how to have fun."
The gigolo is being paid for by her husband?!
Just as Shen Li was about to leave, a deep, magnetic voice sounded behind her.
Shao Congyu gave a half-smile, "Sister, what about me? Aren't you going to play with me anymore?"
The word "sister" made Shen Li's scalp tingle. "Mr. Shao, I'm sorry. I thought you were with them. I was very disrespectful."
Shao Congyu smiled casually, "I don't mind."
“I mind.” Shen Li looked at him. “I’ll be going now. Goodbye, Mr. Shao.”
She turned and walked away. Watching her retreating figure, Shao Congyu's lips curled into a faint smile.
As soon as they arrived at the door, Old Liu came up to them and opened the door of a Ghost car. "Madam, please get in."
Shen Li was taken aback. This was Lu Yanchuan's driver. She glanced at the back seat.
Lu Yanchuan is not here.
As if sensing Shen Li's thoughts, Lao Liu said, "President Lu went back in a friend's car and asked me to stay and see you off."
Given Qu Xiang's current condition, taking a taxi would only make things more difficult, so Shen Li helped her into the car.
...
In the back seat of Xin Yang's CEO car, Lu Yanchuan sat expressionless.
His phone vibrated, and he looked down to tap the screen.
Xin Yang, who was standing nearby, was taken aback when he saw the message on the screen.
"A discount for Yehe? That's not right, I paid for this party at Yehe today. Yanchuan, did they make a mistake..."
Xin Yang realized what was happening before she could finish speaking. Her heart skipped a beat, and when she looked up, she met Lu Yanchuan's cold eyes.
Xin Yang chuckled ingratiatingly, "Oh, oh, oh, was that what you just bought, sister-in-law? It was quite expensive..."
Expensive my foot! They all saw it just now; the drinks on Chen Li's table weren't worth that much money at all!
This expense is practically the cost of hiring a male prostitute!
Xin Yang wished he could slap himself! No wonder Su Yi often said that his mouth was useless and should be sewn up, otherwise he could live a few more years.
But Shen Li is really something else. She's usually so quiet and well-behaved, but when she gets going, she goes way too far. She even used her husband's credit card to hire a male prostitute?!
"You might as well donate that mouth of yours." Lu Yanchuan locked the screen and looked out the window indifferently.
Qu Xiang drank too much and vomited twice after returning home. Shen Li took care of her for half the night.
When she woke up, Qu Xiang was still asleep.
Shen Li decided to go back to her house in Guanhaiyuan to change her clothes and planned to buy some breakfast for Qu Xiang.
As soon as I stepped out of the elevator, I saw the building's cleaning staff emptying the trash cans in the corridor, muttering to themselves.
Seeing Shen Li come out of the elevator, she asked, "Sister, did you throw this bag away by mistake? It looks brand new to me, why did you throw it in the trash?"
The cleaner handed a bag to Shen Li.
Shen Li was stunned when she saw the contents of the bag.
It was a bag of medicine for sprains and bruises, including plasters, pain-relieving sprays, and liniments.
It was a messy pile, like the medicine and bruises section of a pharmacy had been ransacked.
"Really?" the cleaner asked again.
Shen Li suddenly realized, "Hmm, it might have been lost by mistake."
Is it him?
Carrying the bag of medicine into the house, Shen Li leaned against the wall and let out a long sigh.
The pain in my lower back seems to be throbbing again.
When I returned to Qu Xiang's house, I saw Qu Xiang sitting on the sofa with disheveled hair and smudged mascara and eyeliner.
Looks like a ghost.
As soon as Qu Xiang looked up and saw Chen Li enter, she let out a loud yelp and pounced on him, wailing loudly.
"I'm finished, I'm finished, I'm definitely finished! The investment I finally got from Lu's Group is definitely going to fall through!"
Qu Xiang looked up at Shen Li with a pitiful expression, "Did I call Lu Yanchuan a beast?"
“You even called him worse than an animal,” Shen Li said.
Qu Xiang held her head in her hands, looking as if she was about to break.
Shen Li sighed, "Actually, you might be happier if you drank yourself into oblivion."
Despite her breakdown, Qu Xiang, being someone who's in charge of her career, remained decisive and quickly composed herself.
I bought flowers and gifts, and prepared to go to the Lu family to apologize.
"Do you want me to go with you?" Shen Li asked.
Qu Xiang shook her head seriously, "No need, I'll take the blame myself. If you go, who knows how Lu Yanchuan will humiliate you."
In the CEO's office at the Lu Corporation.
The man in the boss's leather chair had a handsome, flawless face, and a cold expression in his long, deep eyes.
She glanced up at Qu Xiang with a nonchalant air, "Didn't you say that having a few stinking coins is nothing special?"
Qu Xiang looked embarrassed. "President Lu, I was drunk and said things I didn't mean. Please don't take it to heart and forgive me this time."
"Forgive you?" Lu Yanchuan raised an eyebrow, a smirk playing on his lips. "Fine."
"You spoke up for Shen Li yesterday, so let Shen Li come and talk to me. Perfect timing, I heard she's your company's vice president, right?"
