Chapter 838 Be Cautious When Eating "Western Food"
Shen Ci covered her mouth, her eyes filled with excitement and surprise.
"Could it be... really true?"
The image has already popped into my mind!
You can't blame her, because it really does give people pause for thought.
Guo Zifan could tell what she was thinking just by looking at her expression. He immediately frowned and looked uncomfortable. "You've made that connection. But whether it's true or not doesn't matter. What matters is that he stayed in the other person's room for so long. Everyone will make the same connection as you."
The space for imagination is limitless!
Shen Ci was overjoyed. In fact, she was not surprised at all. She was not surprised at all that Li Xiao would do to win over Lucas.
"I remember the scumbag I dealt with for you before was a senior executive at the Li Group, and he was also related to someone with the surname Li. And this lady also has the surname Li. Beautiful lady, you two have quite a history of grudges, don't you?"
Shen Ci put away the photos and USB drive, and pursed her lips noncommittally: "With your abilities, finding out the reason shouldn't be too difficult for you, right?"
"I'm a person with professional ethics. I would never proactively investigate a client's privacy. I'm just curious why, but it's not that I necessarily need to know."
Shen Ci grinned, a genuinely sincere smile: "Because, this guy named Li Xiao is a scoundrel!"
Guo Zifan smiled upon hearing this and nodded knowingly: "So, with all this, what are you planning to do with him?"
"Of course, we have to give him a huge surprise!" Shen Ci imagined, barely able to hide her excitement: "At a very crucial moment, this big gift will appear in front of him unexpectedly, and I'll definitely need your help then."
As he spoke, he had already transferred the payment to Guo Zifan.
Guo Zifan smiled with satisfaction as he looked at the amount received: "It would be my pleasure to serve you again!"
Li Xiao did indeed sacrifice what he thought were his bottom lines, and that wasn't all. He endured the dual torment of body and mind, suffering from a burning pain, while still sending messages to Lucas on his phone to complain that he wasn't gentle enough.
Lucas was a very gentle and gentlemanly Western man. He felt very satisfied with Li Xiao's company during the last few days in Longcheng, which were also the happiest days of his trip to China.
He comforted Li Xiao with a doting tone and words, and expressed that he had missed those days since he left, and looked forward to seeing him again in the future.
Li Xiao felt nauseous and wanted to vomit. For more than an hour, he felt like he was trapped in a dark abyss of hell, unable to escape. Every time he recalled it, it made him shudder. But the pain in his buttocks kept reminding him to keep reliving the memory.
Although everything was implied and initiated by him, his purpose was much more obvious and pure than Lucas's.
Even so, when he asked himself if he regretted it, he still said no.
Because he desperately wanted to acquire the other party's technology, he only wanted that result—a result that would satisfy his father and the company, a result that would allow him to succeed.
"Son, what's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"
Soon, Mrs. Li noticed that something was wrong with Li Xiao and couldn't help but go over to check on him.
Li Xiao was extremely suspicious, afraid that others would notice something was wrong, so he subconsciously denied it, saying, "Nothing's wrong with me! I'm fine!"
"Why do you seem to be walking strangely? Did you twist your ankle?"
"No, my stomach is a little uncomfortable."
"Oh dear, if your stomach is upset, go see a doctor. I thought something was wrong with you because you were walking with your butt tucked in like that." Mrs. Li glanced at her son helplessly and repeated, "Don't try to tough it out. If you're really uncomfortable, go see a doctor."
Li Xiao nodded and hurriedly went upstairs!
That afternoon, Shen Ci suddenly received a call from Xiao Min's school. Xiao Min had suddenly experienced severe stomach cramps during class and had been taken to the school hospital immediately.
Shen Ci happened to be shopping nearby with Lian Xing when she received the news and rushed to the school.
In the school clinic, Xiaomin sat on a chair with a pale face, one hand supporting herself on the armrest and the other clutching her stomach.
Seeing her sister, she tried to stand up, but Shen Ci gave her a look, signaling her not to move.
"Doctor, what's wrong with my sister?"
The school doctor, a middle-aged woman, said, "It should be acute stomach cramps. I prescribed her painkillers, which relieved her a little. However, our school has limited testing capabilities, so I suggest you take her to an outside hospital for a check-up."
"I'm fine, sis. I'll be alright in a bit."
Before Shen Ci could speak, Lian Xing interrupted, "What's so good about it? We can't take this kind of thing lightly, otherwise a small problem could easily turn into a big one."
Shen Ci nodded, thanked the doctor, and then helped Xiao Min up: "Get her checked and treated as soon as possible, so she doesn't mess up during the college entrance exam. Have you forgotten what happened to you the first time you took the college entrance exam?"
Xiaomin failed her first college entrance exam because she had an upset stomach from eating something bad that morning, and she still has a lingering trauma from it.
So when her sister said that, she immediately obeyed.
I took Xiaomin to the hospital, where she underwent a series of examinations and had X-rays taken.
While waiting for the results, Lianxing, who had gone to buy water, suddenly ran back in a hurry, looking surprised: "Darling, guess who I saw?"
"Who?" Shen Ci asked curiously when he saw her expression.
"Li Xiao!"
With a big eye roll, Shen Ci said, "What bad luck! There are at least dozens of hospitals in Longcheng, and I still managed to run into this."
"Aren't you curious about what he's here for?" Gu Lianxing asked as she sat down.
Shen Ci said impatiently, "Let him do whatever he wants, but it would be best if they found a tumor in his brain."
Lianxing couldn't help but laugh upon hearing this: "Then your dream probably won't come true. He's seeing a proctologist."
"puff--"
Shen Ci couldn't hold back and spat out the half-mouthful of water she had just drunk, luckily there was no one in front of her.
Lianxing was startled: "What's wrong? Why are you reacting so strongly?"
"Proctology department? Huh?"
Lianxing nodded, and Shenci couldn't help but laugh.
Li Xiao, it seems your delicate little daisy is a bit too fragile to withstand such treatment, as you ended up having to visit a proctologist afterwards.
It seems Lucas is quite "talented," but he's a foreign man, so it's understandable.
"What's wrong with you?" Gu Lianxing was even more curious about Shen Ci's startled reaction.
Shen Ci laughed until tears streamed down her face, then took Lian Xing's hand and said earnestly, "Darling, be careful when eating 'Western food'!"
Gu Lianxing: "?"
What's going on here? How did we get onto the topic of "Western food" again?
"Are you crazy?" Lianxing shook her head helplessly, too lazy to ask any more questions: "I don't know what nonsense you're spouting."
It has to be Lianxing who is truly naive. If Shen Yuzhen were sitting here, she would immediately understand what "eating Western food" means.
