After the Li family of three reached an agreement, Duan Xinyi was immediately kicked out without even being paid for her transportation.
Li Hexiang walked up to Li Ershu with a fawning expression and said with a smile, "Second brother, do you think you can do your elder brother a favor?"
Uncle Li glanced at him disdainfully and said, "No, give me my car keys. My wife and I are going home."
Then Uncle Li took his car keys from Li Hexiang's pocket, said goodbye to Li Qiuyu, and drove off with Aunt Li in their own cars.
He Yongze stood behind the Li family of three and said jokingly, "Hurry up and move your money. We're closing down and don't have time to wait for you to dawdle here."
"Okay, okay, I'll move out right away," Li Hexiang said hurriedly, afraid that Shen Lang might change his mind and not give him the money.
Li Hexiang, heartbroken for his son, was once so badly crushed by the ton of coins that he vomited blood, but he still managed to move the six tons of coins out.
With Kang Yuling's help, the Li father and son finally managed to carry the six sacks of coins to the entrance of the mAx bar.
The three of them had barely stepped out when Li Qiuyu ruthlessly slammed the bar door shut behind them.
This is not because Li Qiuyu is truly heartless, but because after the contract was successfully signed, all the feelings between Li Qiuyu and the Li family of three had vanished.
After returning to Shen Lang's side, Li Qiuyu sincerely bowed to him: "Thank you for giving me a new life."
Li Qiuyu works so hard and schemes in the workplace entirely because she wants to earn more money and save some for herself. This family of bloodsuckers keeps asking her for money, and she really has no other choice but to do so in order to survive.
Shen Lang stood up, handed Li Qiuyu a glass of fine wine, and said, "Congratulations on your rebirth."
Li Qiuyu finished the wine Shen Lang handed her and said, "From now on, I'm yours."
Shen Lang shook his head and said, "No need. You can do what you want to do in the future. There's no need to be so grateful to me. It was just a small favor for me."
"But stop thinking about suicide. I understand your despair, but life is precious. Cherish the future."
After saying that, Shen Lang led Dong Xue, He Yongze, and Zhang Chengyang toward his office.
Shen Lang wasn't disgusted by Li Qiuyu; rather, he already had enough women around him—eight at home, and seven more buds yet to bloom. Although Li Qiuyu was very beautiful even without makeup, comparable to Xia Bingyan, he didn't feel anything special. Perhaps he was just tired of beautiful women.
Li Qiuyu did not leave, but followed behind the group.
"Young Master, she hasn't left yet," Dongxue whispered in Shen Lang's ear.
Shen Lang turned to look at Li Qiuyu and asked, "Are you sure you want to come with me?"
Li Qiuyu nodded, her eyes filled with unwavering determination, and said, "In this life and the next, I am yours in life and in death. Even after death, I am willing to turn into a blue stone and wait for you for three lifetimes by the Bridge of Helplessness."
Shen Lang smiled upon hearing this: "Alright, then follow me."
However, Shen Lang was unaware that his actions today would later bring him an organization that would strike fear into the hearts of the entire world: the Underworld.
"Chengyang, it seems you'll have to find a new sales manager," Shen Lang said to Zhang Chengyang with a smile.
Zhang Chengyang laughed and said, "You've snatched such a good talent like me away, Brother Lang, you have to buy me a drink."
"Okay, it's my treat, Yongze will pay."
Why did you trick me?!
The three of them walked toward the office chatting and laughing, while Dongxue slowed down and walked alongside Li Qiuyu.
Dongxue looked at Li Qiuyu and asked, "What do you think you can do by following the young master?"
Li Qiuyu was speechless for a moment, unable to answer.
After thinking for a moment, she said, "I can do anything."
Dongxue shook her head and smiled, "There are seven women like me in your household, and our young lady is your personal maid, so you won't even get a chance to warm the bed. Our young lady cooks for you, and even if she's not around, Shuang'er will. Your personal secretary is just as beautiful as you, and she's been with you since graduation, so she's taken care of that too. We have Shiya cook for us, and we can also do the laundry and mopping. The property management staff will mow the lawn at the villa, and there are three other people in line to protect you and drive you around."
"So what use do you think your joining will be to the young master?" Dongxue asked innocently, her bright eyes sparkling.
Li Qiuyu felt a little ashamed after Dongxue said that: Yes, he is so outstanding, how could he lack women?
"I...I don't know either..."
Dongxue suddenly appeared beside Li Qiuyu, pulled out a long sword from somewhere, and held it to Li Qiuyu's neck, saying, "Your life is too fragile, and your abilities are too useless. You are of no use to the young master now, just a burden."
Li Qiuyu raised her head, showing no fear despite the long sword at her neck, and met Dongxue's eyes, asking, "Then what should I do to stay by his side?"
Dongxue gave her an approving look, then handed her a bank card and a note with a phone number on it, saying, "Here's five million for you. Go to Chicago, USA, and contact this person. If you can stand before me unharmed a year from now, you'll be qualified to stand by the young master's side and be someone useful to him. However, this path is very dangerous; losing limbs is common, and surviving is a stroke of luck."
“Of course, you can also stay by the young master’s side as a good-for-nothing.” Dongxue emphasized the word ‘good-for-nothing’ slightly.
"Whether you stay or leave is your choice."
Li Qiuyu's expression remained unchanged as she unhesitatingly accepted the bank card from Dongxue and asked, "May I say goodbye to him?"
Dongxue shook her head and said calmly, "There's no need. Meaningless farewells only add to the trouble. Go, try your best to survive, preferably survive intact, and then come back to see him with your achievements."
"I understand." A resolute look flashed across Li Qiuyu's beautiful, unadorned face. She then left the mAx bar, clutching the bank card and the note.
Watching Li Qiuyu's departing figure, Dongxue sighed, "My young master, so many outstanding women are willing to give everything for you. How can you be so charming!"
Then she walked into He Yongze's office and stood beside Shen Lang as cold and aloof as ever.
"Where is she?" Shen Lang asked, not seeing Li Qiuyu.
Dongxue said, "Young master, she has chosen to go to Chicago."
"Did you arrange this?" Shen Lang asked.
Dongxue nodded without saying anything.
Shen Lang did not blame Dongxue in public, but simply said, "Don't let her die."
After leaving the mAx bar, Li Qiuyu brushed past the Li family of three as if they were strangers, then hailed a taxi and headed straight for X City International Airport. She then booked a flight to Chicago, USA, two hours later while still in the taxi.
Five hours later, on an international flight to the United States, Li Qiuyu listened to the flight attendant's departure announcement, glanced at the land of Yanhuang through the window, then put on her sunglasses and closed her eyes.
"Wait for me to come back."
