A handkerchief was handed to her. Ji Shuyu raised her head and saw Lu Qingyi in the mirror.
"Are you okay?"
Lu Qingyi looked at the girl in front of her worriedly.
"It's okay." Ji Shuyu took the handkerchief, smiled and said thank you.
She heard the whole thing, and it was obvious that this was a deliberate targeting.
Looking at her slightly red skin, Lu Qingyi raised her hand and touched her cheek: "Does it hurt?"
It didn't hurt originally, at least it was bearable.
But as soon as she asked this question, she felt like her emotions were out of control.
Ji Shuyu shook her head, trying to control herself and not lose her composure.
Lu Qingyi took off her coat and put it on her shoulders, then hugged her and patted her comfortingly.
Ji Shuyu's emotions suddenly collapsed, and she bit her lips quietly to control herself.
She couldn't help but think, if she had a mother, would she not have to draw warmth from the arms of others?
Lu Qingyi also felt a little sad, perhaps because the girl was about the same age as her daughter.
If it was her Xuanxuan who was being wronged outside, just thinking about it would break her heart...
"Don't be unhappy." She comforted, "I'll treat you to something to eat."
Her gentle smile made Ji Shuyu feel sad.
Looking at the hand she was holding, Ji Shuyu tentatively held it back, then held it a little tighter.
She knew in her heart that they were not familiar with each other, but... she couldn't control herself and was afraid of being rude and making others uncomfortable.
Lu Qingyi saw what she was thinking, and her heart ached. She held her a little tighter, and then smoothed her wet hair.
"Can I call you Xiaoyu?"
"Of course." Ji Shuyu nodded with a smile.
For some reason, she really liked the feeling when her name was called.
"From now on, you can call me auntie!" Lu Qingyi handed her her little cake.
Ji Shuyu nodded, her eyes feeling a little hot.
"Homesick?"
Ji Shuyu shook her head, "My home is here."
She took a sip. It was sweet, but it couldn't suppress the bitterness in her heart.
"So mom and dad aren't around?"
"Maybe, he's gone!" Ji Shuyu chuckled.
She thought, if it wasn't absolutely necessary, how many people would be willing to abandon their own children?
possible?
Lu Qingyi keenly grasped the meaning behind these two words, and felt a pang of bitterness in her heart.
Perhaps it was because her daughter had been in an orphanage since she was young, so she suddenly felt very distressed at this moment.
"If they knew, they would definitely want you to be happy."
Which child is not a treasure to his parents?
"I'm fine, I'm just a little stressed out lately."
Lu Qingyi sat over, hugged her gently, and patted her back softly.
With this comfort, Ji Shuyu's mood gradually calmed down, and she couldn't help but move closer.
After sitting in the cafe for a while, Ji Shuyu changed her clothes and went to meet new clients.
After Ji Shuyu left, Huo Zhengting came to pick up his wife. Seeing that she was in a bad mood, he asked worriedly, "Why are your eyes so red?"
"When I met that girl before, she looked like an orphan." She sighed. "She was so young, but she looked like she had suffered a lot."
"You!" Huo Zhengting hugged her gently, "Those things are in the past. Xuanxuan is back. No one can hurt her anymore."
Lu Qingyi looked up and said, "Zhengting, Xuanxuan suffered so much because of us. We must protect her."
Seeing his wife's sad look, Huo Zhengting gently hugged her in his arms, "Tang."
…
When Ji Shuyu was at the hotel, the client had not come down yet, so she also began to prepare herself mentally.
I used to think it was silly to stand in the bathroom and cheer myself up in front of the mirror, but when I really did it to myself, I realized that maybe at that moment, I was the only one who could comfort myself.
Thinking of this, Ji Shuyu thought of Gu Xiuyuan.
I don’t know if I was really that busy that I didn’t even have the time to video chat.
The client was late, so she messaged Gu Xiuyuan. During lunch, the video call was disconnected three times. Finally, she told him to go out and message her when he was done. But the message she was expecting never came, and no one answered the phone.
"Xiuyuan, are you done with your work?" She held her chin and waited for his reply, but there was no news.
Gu Xiuyuan was not around, and she felt she needed to pour out her grievances, so she sent a message to Mu Ran.
But this little girl who doesn't care about friends didn't even reply to the message.
The client arrived much later than the agreed time, so she was prepared to be devalued again. But although the whole process took a little longer, the conversation went smoothly.
After the customer left, Ji Shuyu picked up the cold water on the table and gulped it down. She drank so hastily that she didn't even notice the sediment in the water.
After drinking the water, she sent a message to Ke Manning, saying that everything went well.
She sat and panted for a while before getting up. Maybe it was because she got up too quickly, but she felt dizzy as soon as she got up.
She shook her head and held on to the sofa to steady herself.
At this time, a person who was watching the situation outside reported the situation to Huo Yuxuan.
"Miss, he has already drunk the stuff!"
"Don't worry, the bodyguards who were secretly following her have been dealt with. No one will come to rescue her, and no one will be found suspicious."
Huo Yuxuan sneered as she listened. She didn't care whether the investigation was carried out or not. What difference would it make if it was investigated?
Would the Gu family offend her for an orphan?
Huo Yuxuan was satisfied with what she heard and hung up the phone. She changed into beautiful clothes and went out.
Gu Xiuyuan, if you make me unhappy, then we'll all just forget about it.
Since you like her so much, let me see how deep your feelings for him are!
…
On the other side, Ji Shuyu felt more and more that something was wrong.
She recalled the feeling of being poisoned by Chinese medicine at the banquet because she drank Gu Xiuyuan's wine, but this feeling was even stronger than last time.
She tried hard to maintain her consciousness, while calling Muran and heading towards the front desk.
She definitely couldn't go out in this condition, but the situation here was also unknown, so she had to act quickly.
She wanted to get a room. If Ranran couldn't make it in time, at least she would have a safe space.
But someone was checking in at the front desk, so she hurried to the bathroom.
Xiuyuan, he will definitely arrange someone to protect her. She forced herself to call him, but his phone was turned off...
Panicked and desperate, she stumbled to the bathroom stall, and then continued to send messages to Mu Ran: Ranran, save me.
After sending her location, she struggled to lock the door of the compartment, then she breathed a sigh of relief and continued to make the call.
The call finally connected.
At the same time, there was a burst of hurried footsteps outside...
