Wen Shu paused, turned around and saw Li Duo standing behind her, staring at her with a gloomy expression.
"There are some things you shouldn't say, so you'd better not utter a single word!"
A fire instantly ignited in Wen Shu's heart, and she suddenly felt an urge to burst into laughter.
He deliberately pushed her onto the fire to roast her, wanting to make her suffer forever, and actually expected her to obey him.
Ma Jun smiled, but spoke directly: "President Li, I originally thought Miss Wen was your lover, but after hearing you speak just now, I realized that she isn't?"
Li Duo looked at Ma Jun: "Miss Ma, why do you think she's still standing here?"
Ma Jun stepped forward. "So, Mr. Li deliberately let her appear here to prove your special favor towards her?"
Li Duo chuckled, "Then I must thank Miss Ma for her initiative and generosity. After all, Miss Ma has confirmed what outsiders thought."
Ma Jun's face immediately turned ugly.
The fact that Miss Ma took the initiative to get close to the woman brought by Li Duo is evidence that Wen Shu and Li Duo have an extraordinary relationship.
"You plotted against me?"
"How could I dare? Miss Ma is so attentive and proactive, I couldn't stop her."
Ma Jun said coldly, "President Li's elaborate schemes against a woman truly demonstrate his masculinity."
Li Duo curled his lips into a smile. "I'm willing to let her off the hook because she has a child. She's responsible for my leg injury. We'll call it even after she accompanies me to the banquet. She's clearly the one who benefits."
Ma Jun nodded, "President Li, you have excellent eloquence, I admire you!"
Ma Jun looked at Wen Shu with an apologetic expression. Her carelessness had only made things worse for Wen Shu.
Wen Shu stood quietly to one side, expressionless.
Now that things have come to this, nothing she says will make a difference. All she can do now is try to minimize the huge trouble that the illusion will bring her.
Just now, it was Miss Ma who was by her side. If she were alone, I'm afraid all sorts of evil spirits and demons would have rushed over.
She could sense that Ma Jun harbored no ill will towards her.
Even though Ma Jun indirectly helped Li Duo, she didn't resent Ma Jun, after all, the real culprit was Li Duo!
Why did Li Duo forbid her from revealing Lin Jingyu's name? Was it because he was afraid Lin Jingyu would become a target of revenge?
So Li Duo's real purpose in bringing her here tonight was to protect Lin Jingyu.
That way, people will only target her, not Lin Jingyu!
Ma Jun glanced coldly at Li Duo and said to Wen Shu, "I'll invite you for tea another day when I have time. I have other things to do, so I'll take my leave now."
Leaving him behind would only embolden Li Duo.
As soon as Ma Jun left, Li Duo, who was in a wheelchair, turned his gaze to Wen Shu. Wen Shu calmly returned his gaze, "Mr. Li, are you going back now?"
"Don't try to drag Jing Yu into this; she's not someone you can afford to mess with."
Li Duo spoke up: "Even without me, Jing Yu is not someone you can mess with. Don't go looking for trouble!"
Who is the Lin family? A reclusive and powerful clan. Does she really think she can drag Lin Jingyu down with her?
Can she bear the consequences?
Wen Shu said, "Since President Li doesn't intend to leave, I'll continue waiting for you outside."
She was unwilling to engage in pointless communication with him; she already knew what kind of person he was, so there was no point in wasting her breath.
Suddenly, Li Duo stood up and grabbed her, saying, "Remember what I said? Jing Yu is not someone you can mess with. Remember that from now on!"
Wen Shu turned to look at him: "Li Duo, once we leave here, I will never see you or any of you again in this lifetime. If we meet on the road, I will take a detour. What are you worried about?"
Li Duo raised his eyes. "You're quite sensible."
"I've always been sensible."
"So you're saying I'm being tactless?"
Wen Shu smiled: "So President Li knew about this too?"
She looked at Li Duo's hand that was holding her wrist. "Mr. Li, can you let go now? Everyone here is watching you. You don't need to act anymore; they'll keep an eye on me."
Li Duo loosened his grip, and Wen Shu withdrew her hand. "I'm going to wash my hands. Please make yourself at home, Mr. Li."
bathroom.
Wen Shu looked at the face in the mirror; it was both unfamiliar and cold.
She doesn't usually have this face, but now she's been forced to look like someone she doesn't even recognize.
But she is not alone; she has a family. If she can't protect her family, what will happen to her grandmother and Rou Rou?
She took a deep breath and turned on the tap to wash her hands.
Three women walked in from outside, and one of them closed the door behind her.
Wen Shu turned off the tap and looked at the three women in the mirror. "Is there something you need?"
"Are you the woman Mr. Li brought with him?"
Wen Shu corrected, "His leg is broken, and I was assisting him. To be precise, I was his helper."
"What kind of helper can't President Li find? Why would he need someone as young and attractive as you?"
"Thank you for telling me I'm pretty."
The woman in the lead was slightly annoyed. "I didn't expect you to be so glib. Do you really think that just because you're with President Li, you've become a phoenix on a branch?"
“My relationship with Li Duo is not what you think. You’ve come to the wrong person to cause trouble for me.”
Wen Shu's tone was somewhat helpless; she was afraid they wouldn't listen even if she told them.
One of the women took out scissors from her bag.
Wen Shu's expression changed. "What do you want to do?"
The woman in the lead took the scissors. "I didn't mean anything by it, I just thought your hairstyle was terrible and wanted to fix it for you. You don't mind, do you?"
Two other people stepped forward and reached out to pull Wen Shu's arms.
Wen Shu said, "Wait a minute!"
Three women were looking at her at the same time.
Wen Shu said, "It's just a haircut, right? I can do it myself."
The woman in the lead was taken aback. "You'll do it yourself?"
"I came here with President Li after all. If you take action and President Li asks me about it, I will naturally tell the truth. Even if President Li won't blame you, it will still leave a bad impression."
“It’s different when I do it myself. If anyone asks, you can confidently say it has nothing to do with you, right?”
The three women exchanged glances, and one of them whispered, "I think she has a point..."
"Are you trying to lie to us?"
Wen Shu said, "There are three of you and only one of me. Even if I lied to you, do you think I could escape?"
As she spoke, she picked up the scissors, looked in the mirror, grabbed a side of her long hair, and "snip!" cut it off.
She had long been disgusted with having the same hairstyle as Lin Jingyu.
She had kept her hair long for so many years and had always been reluctant to cut it, but unexpectedly, these three women helped her make up her mind.
After cutting one side, she cut the other side, instantly turning her long hair into short hair.
She reached out and threw two clumps of hair into the trash can.
The three women were a little surprised. Women, after all, like to have their hair a little longer in order to create various styles.
She simply and decisively cut it.
"You actually dared to let your hair grow so long..."
Before she could finish speaking, Wen Shu bent down, grabbed the hem of the dress, and slit it with a pair of scissors.
The long fishtail dress was instantly transformed into a short one.
"We didn't tell you to cut your dress!"
Wen Shu looked up at them and grinned, "You all forced me to cut my hair, so who cares if you forced me to wear the dress?"
