Chapter 16 Is this your boyfriend?
Xiao Heng followed Shen Yan's gaze, pushed his sunglasses up to his head, crossed his arms, and stared at Lin Xi for a while before finally saying, "Oh, I remember now, isn't this the pretty part-time cleaner?"
Shen Yan recognized her too. He stroked his chin and said, "Why is she working as a car model? Has she given up housekeeping?"
Then he bought the house for nothing.
He was even planning to hire Lin Xi to live in his house long-term after he moved in.
"She's still working." After saying that, Song Xu lifted her leg and walked towards Lin Xi, who seemed to be in trouble.
Lin Xi was explaining the car model to a customer when a bald man wearing a gold chain squatted on the ground taking pictures.
Although Lin Xi had put on anti-exposure stickers, her skirt was too short, just past her hips, so she stood with her legs tightly together to prevent any accidental exposure.
But some shameless men still try to take pictures of them from all sorts of angles, like this bald man in front of me, whose phone is almost stuck inside her skirt.
"Sir, what are you filming?" Lin Xi, a worker, asked patiently.
The bald man looked up, his tone mocking, "Of course I'm taking pictures of the car, not you."
Lin Xi bit her lower lip and endured it. She walked to the other side of the car and stood there. If she got into a conflict with this bald man, then all her work for the past half day would have been for nothing.
Wearing heels over ten centimeters high, her feet were killing her. Her calves were constantly tense, afraid of cramping. It was already hard enough, and then she encountered a perverted bald man. Lin Xi felt a tightness in her chest.
The bald man kept taking pictures of the car with his phone, and after a while he came up to Lin Xi again.
He then crouched down and used his phone to take pictures of Lin Xi's skirt.
Lin Xi glanced at the man's phone screen, then turned slightly to warn him, "Sir, you've taken a picture of me. Please have some self-respect."
The bald man wasn't nervous at being caught; instead, he became even more brazen. He stood up and moved closer to Lin Xi, saying, "What's wrong with taking a picture? Aren't you dressed like this just to seduce men?"
"Sir, please watch your words. If you continue to speak recklessly, I will call the police," Lin Xi warned sternly.
"Call the police? What did I do? Did I sexually harass you? Did I do that?"
As he spoke, he stepped forward and began thrusting his hips at Lin Xi, moving forward with each thrust. There was a car behind Lin Xi, leaving her nowhere to retreat.
Lin Xi felt nauseous and could no longer bear it. Ignoring the risk of exposure, she raised her knee and struck the bald man in the groin.
"Ah!" the bald man screamed in agony.
Song Xu and his two companions happened to walk over and witnessed this scene.
Shen Yan and Xiao Heng instinctively covered their groins with their hands.
"Wow, it looks like it hurts a lot." Shen Yan swallowed.
Xiao Heng clicked his tongue twice, "This Lin Xi looks gentle and weak, but she's ruthless enough to strike."
Song Xu turned his head and gave Xiao Heng a cold glance. "You went too far. This kind of lecher should have been crippled."
The bald man's screams attracted a crowd of onlookers, who quickly surrounded Lin Xi and the bald man.
Lin Xi clenched her fists, bit her lower lip, and coldly stared at the bald man lying on the ground groaning. The first thing she learned in school was that she could not swallow her anger when she was bullied.
The more you give in, the more others will think you're easy to bully and will keep testing your limits.
Like today, if she tolerates the bald man's actions, he will definitely try to touch her next.
Bai Tiantian pushed through the crowd to Lin Xi's side and asked anxiously, "What's wrong, Xi Xi? Did he bully you?"
Lin Xi nodded. "He made indecent gestures towards me."
"Damn it, that's disgusting." Bai Tiantian walked over angrily and kicked the bald man's butt twice.
Bai Tiantian acted too quickly, and Lin Xi couldn't stop her. She didn't want to involve Bai Tiantian. Everyone was here to make money, and she probably wouldn't be able to continue working today. But this had nothing to do with Tiantian.
Lin Xi pulled Bai Tiantian back and urged her to return to her seat, "Tiantian, don't worry about me, go back to work."
The organizers' staff also came over and hurriedly asked what had happened.
Once the bald man's pain subsided, he clutched his groin and roared, "I'm going to expose you! I just came in to see a car show, and I got beaten up for no reason. You'd better pay me back!"
"What do you mean 'for no reason'? You were the one who sexually harassed Xixi first!" Bai Tiantian pointed at the bald man and cursed.
The organizer glared at Bai Tiantian, telling her to shut up; they'd seen this kind of thing many times before.
They helped the bald man up and said politely, "Sir, there must be some misunderstanding here. Let us help you to the VIP room to rest first, and then she will apologize to you."
"Why should I apologize to him? He's just a..."
Before Bai Tiantian could finish speaking, Lin Xi stopped her, saying, "Tiantian, stop talking."
“But…” Bai Tiantian was furious, even though Lin Xi was the victim.
"I'll handle my own affairs." Lin Xi patted Bai Tiantian's shoulder to calm her down.
Lin Xi stepped forward, her attitude resolute. "I will not apologize to him. I did nothing wrong. He is the one who is wrong."
The organizer's staff frowned and winked at Lin Xi, "You injured a guest and you still say you did nothing wrong?"
Lin Xi acted as if she hadn't seen anything, saying, "You want to settle this peacefully, but that will only make this kind of pervert more and more arrogant."
“You’re the pervert,” the bald man jumped up and down. “You not only hit people but also cursed at them. Believe me or not, I’ll sue you until you’re bankrupt!”
Lin Xi wasn't afraid. There were cameras here. She took out her phone and said, "I can call the police and have them check the surveillance footage. You were the one who verbally and physically harassed me first."
"Don't call the police," the staff member snatched Lin Xi's phone. "Don't you want to work here anymore?"
“I’m just protecting my legitimate rights,” Lin Xi said, reaching out her hand. “Give me back my phone.”
"It's clearly stated in the contract that if you cause losses to the exhibition due to your personal reasons, you will face substantial compensation," the staff member warned.
Lin Xi had looked at the contract, but she hadn't thought much about it. It was too late for her to regret it now; she could only blame herself for being too naive.
Just as the two sides were at an impasse, the police arrived. "Who called the police?"
The staff and Lin Xi looked at each other in bewilderment; they hadn't called the police.
“I called the police,” Song Xu said, stepping out from the crowd and standing next to Lin Xi. He pointed at the bald man and said, “He took upskirt photos of women and verbally and physically insulted and molested them. He is suspected of sexual harassment. Please arrest him.”
"You're lying, I didn't!" the bald man tried to argue.
“Whether the surveillance footage is checked or not is enough,” Song Xu said slowly. “I suspect you’re a repeat offender. I’ll hire a lawyer for my friend. You can wait to go to jail.”
Song Xu was wearing sunglasses the whole time, and Lin Xi only recognized him by his voice. "President Song?"
“Hmm,” Song Xu took off his sunglasses and glanced at her indifferently, “Why are you here? I think you would be more suitable to be in my house.”
When Bai Tiantian saw the police arrive, she smiled with relief. She winked at Lin Xi with a mischievous grin and whispered, "Xi Xi, is this your boyfriend? He's so handsome."
