Chapter 35 Be gentler from now on.
The three men who had known Song Xu for many years were dumbfounded. Was this the same cold and aloof Song Xu they knew? How come he could speak so many sweet nothings?
When did he and Lin Xi get together?
Bai Tiantian clasped her hands together in front of her chest and said, "So sweet, so romantic! I knew they looked like a married couple."
Song Xu held Lin Xi's waist tightly, saying, "Let's go."
Lin Xi nodded obediently and walked towards the police station entrance with Song Xu's embrace.
The others followed behind, their eyes still showing shock.
“You can’t leave! You haven’t paid us back yet!” Li Sheng’s mother shouted.
But none of Song Xu and Lin Xi's group paid any attention to them. Li Sheng's parents tried to rush over to stop them, but were stopped by the police.
If this isn't stopped, the two sides will start fighting again, and things will escalate. The key issue is that it's happening right here in the police station.
Li Sheng's parents were used to being shameless and didn't respect the police at all. After Song Xu and Lin Xi left, they caused a scene at the police station and were eventually detained along with Li Sheng.
As soon as Lin Xi left the police station, she distanced herself from Song Xu and stepped away from his embrace. "Mr. Song, thank you so much for helping me get revenge today."
Song Xu withdrew his arm, secretly rubbing his fingers together, his mind filled with only one thought: Lin Xi's waist was so slender, and she smelled so good.
Lin Xi took off her sunglasses and handed them back to Bai Tiantian, saying, "Tiantian, thank you for your sunglasses."
"We're friends, no need to be so polite." Bai Tiantian originally wanted to give the sunglasses to Lin Xi, but after learning about her family's financial difficulties, she was afraid that Lin Xi would overthink it, so she put the sunglasses away.
"Chen Yan, Xiao Heng, thank you for your righteous help today." Lin Xi bowed to them. If it weren't for their help, she would have been harassed by Li Sheng for much longer.
Lin Xi rubbed her wrist, which had been grabbed by Li Sheng and was now covered in bruises.
At this moment, Shen Yan and Xiao Heng only wanted to know one thing. Their eyes darted back and forth between Song Xu and Lin Xi. "Brother Xu, are you and Lin Xi really together?"
Song Xu remained silent, neither confirming nor denying that it was true.
Fearing that everyone might misunderstand, Lin Xi quickly explained, "It's fake. President Song was just trying to help me. How could I possibly be with President Song?"
These words made Song Xu very uncomfortable, but he didn't hold back, "Do you think I'm not good enough for you?"
“No,” Lin Xi said, a hint of panic flashing in her eyes, “it’s me who’s not good enough for President Song.”
Bai Tiantian put her arm around Lin Xi's shoulder, breaking the awkward silence, "Xi Xi, you're so wonderful, only I am worthy of you. Didn't you say you were going to treat me to noodles? I'm hungry."
After all that trouble, Lin Xi was grateful to have Bai Tiantian by her side. She felt she had to treat Bai Tiantian to a meal. "Let's go eat noodles now."
“I’m hungry too,” Shen Yan said with a smile after hearing that Lin Xi and Song Xu weren’t together. He looked at Lin Xi and said, “Lin Xi, could you buy me a bowl of noodles too?”
Xiao Heng clutched his stomach. "Ouch, my stomach is about to cramp up from hunger. I want to eat noodles too."
"Then I'll treat you all to a meal." Lin Xi couldn't refuse people who had helped her.
Song Xu stood motionless to the side, not saying a word, waiting for Lin Xi's invitation.
“Mr. Song, you must be very busy,” Lin Xi said, noticing Zhang Qing behind Song Xu. She had seen him at the Western restaurant before and guessed he was Mr. Song’s secretary. They must have come from the company. “We won’t bother you any longer. I’ll go back after having dinner with them.”
Song Xu's eyes were dark, and he gritted his teeth as he asked, "Lin Xi, you're killing me after I've served my purpose. Don't forget who your boss is."
Lin Xi was filled with trepidation. She didn't know why Song Xu had suddenly gotten angry. "President Song, I didn't mean that. The place I invited you to dinner was a small noodle shop. I was just worried that you wouldn't be used to the food."
Having worked as a nanny at Song Xu's house for so many days, she knew that Song Xu was very particular about food. The ingredients in the refrigerator were changed every three days, and a special person came to handle them. All the ingredients were of the highest quality.
Song Xu did not accept Lin Xi's explanation. He pointed at Shen Yan and Xiao Heng and said, "If they can eat, why can't I?"
Lin Xi looked at Shen Yan and Xiao Heng. Yes, they were also children from wealthy families, but she had overlooked the fact that they were the same age as her.
Song Xu was older than them. Although she didn't know exactly how old he was, he already held a high position in the company, so she automatically categorized him into a different group.
"If Mr. Song doesn't mind, I'll treat you to noodles too," Lin Xi said, blinking.
Song Xu grunted unhappily, then looked at Zhang Qing and the lawyer he had called, "You two go back first, handle this case properly, let that family stay in there for a few days and then release them, don't let them go to jail."
Zhang Qing: Mr. Song, this is what you call discarding a donkey after it has served its purpose!
Despite his inner complaints, Zhang Qing showed no sign on his face. He quickly nodded, "Yes, President Song, I know what to do."
After Zhang Qing and the lawyer left, Lin Xi frowned and couldn't help but ask, "President Song, I want Li Sheng to go to jail, the longer the better. I'm willing to pay for a lawyer."
Song Xu glanced at her. Hiring a lawyer? Didn't he know how much money she had? "Sending them to jail is too good for them. I have no intention of letting them off the hook."
Lin Xi didn't quite understand what Song Xu meant. Sentencing someone is a punishment for making a mistake. If Li Sheng isn't imprisoned, how else can he be punished?
Shen Yan and Xiao Heng understood Song Xu's meaning; it was inconvenient to explain such matters too clearly. Seeing the clear eyes of the two girls opposite them, they changed the subject.
"Lin Xi, where is the noodle shop where you treated us to dinner? Is it far?"
"It's not far, it's near Jiangda University." Lin Xi put aside her doubts, thinking that she would ask Song Xu again when she got back that night.
Shen Yan drove over in his Cayenne, which seats five people perfectly. "Then ride in my car."
Song Xu took out his royal blue car keys. "I'm driving now too. I can take one person with me."
He didn't give anyone else a chance, pointing at Lin Xi, "You get in my car and lead the way."
"Huh?" Lin Xi wanted to be with Bai Tiantian, is it okay to separate them?
Bai Tiantian was very understanding. She pushed Lin Xi towards Song Xu, saying, "Xi Xi, you go ahead. I'll take that handsome guy's car. We'll meet at the noodle shop."
"Alright then." Lin Xi followed Song Xu and got into his sapphire blue sports car.
As soon as Song Xu got into the car, the words "greasy middle-aged man" came to mind. He loved this sports car the most, so why should this car be driven by an old man?
Damn it, Song Xu got angrier and angrier, wishing he could strangle that man in the police station right now.
Lin Xi silently fastened her seatbelt, revealing her bruised wrists, which she had been covering with her hands the whole time.
Song Xu glanced at Lin Xi's wrist, at the large, bluish-purple handprint. "What happened to your wrist?"
Lin Xi instinctively tried to cover herself, "I was grabbed by Li Sheng. My skin is also fragile; even the slightest bump will turn me blue."
Upon hearing Lin Xi's explanation, Song Xu's first reaction was: "You should be more careful in the future."
