She could only look at Qian Lai with tenderness and smile.
Liu Heqing seemed to have sensed something was amiss and deliberately stepped between the two: "Sister, let's go. You have to catch your train after we finish eating!"
"Miss, which train are you on? Where are you going?"... Before the man could ask any more questions, the two sisters had already returned to their seats with their wontons.
Qian Lai wished Liu Heqing would devour him in one gulp so he could escape as soon as possible.
She didn't know why Lu Ximing, whom she was supposed to meet in college in the original book, appeared earlier than expected.
This time, she's going to stay far, far away from this person.
In the book, the original owner met Lu Ximing in college and, unable to resist his intense pursuit, married him.
Unexpectedly, he turned out to be a complete hypocrite.
On the surface, he cultivated a gentle and loving wife persona, but behind the scenes, he forced her to attend various gatherings, making her mingle like a socialite among those good-for-nothings, indulging in debauchery every night.
He gained opportunities by selling himself out and making things difficult for others.
Even during her period, she wasn't allowed to rest for a moment.
Many businesses and resources were obtained through women.
The original owner was pitifully weak-willed, daring to be angry but not daring to speak out.
In the eyes of the world, she was a respectable university professor's wife, but in private, she was nothing more than a lowly bargaining chip.
What's even more infuriating is that he registered a company in the original owner's name. This made her appear to be a wealthy woman, but in reality, she took on a huge debt for him.
Suddenly, a thought flashed through his mind: he had transmigrated into the book, which had already changed a lot of the original story's plot.
In this life, Qian Xiaozhen absolutely refused to marry into the Gu family and desperately fought for her own university spot!
Is it possible that she was reborn?
"Little brother, little brother, what's wrong?"
The sudden, tense cry of the little girl sitting next to Qian Lai broke her thoughts, and large tears instantly streamed down her face.
The little boy was so anxious that he kept grabbing his throat and kicking his little feet frantically, trying to cry out, but he couldn't.
Her face turned purplish-red.
Oh no! I'm really choking!
Qian Lai quickly walked behind the little boy, hugged him, and gently comforted him, "Don't worry, Auntie will help you."
She made a fist with one hand, aimed it at the area above the boy's navel, and covered the fist with her other hand, thrusting upwards rapidly and forcefully.
This was the first time she had used the Heimlich maneuver in later generations.
However, she still lacked strength, and after a few rounds, she gradually lost her power.
The boy's kicking legs made it increasingly difficult for her to hold him.
If the location is wrong, the effect will be greatly reduced.
The boy was even more anxious, and as more and more people gathered around, fine beads of sweat appeared on Qian Lai's forehead.
"I'll go." A tall figure descended from the crowd like a god.
A pair of white-gloved hands swiftly took the boy from her arms.
With standard movements, accurate positioning, and sufficient force, the boy spat out a large, unchewed wonton in just three or four strokes.
"Little brother, little brother. It's alright, it's alright."
The little girl hugged the boy tightly, trying to comfort her younger brother who was crying loudly in fright.
Qian Lai breathed a sigh of relief, wiped the sweat from his brow, and looked up at the man beside him with a broad smile, saying, "It really has to be a man. Thanks..."
The smile vanished the instant she saw the man's face.
"What a coincidence! We meet again!"
The man tilted his head, raised an eyebrow at her, and smiled, giving her a "you can't escape" look.
