Chapter 25: Bad People
A dreamless night.
Lin You had originally prepared herself that she would not sleep well living under the same roof with Shi Jingyuan, but unexpectedly, she slept very peacefully.
Is she so confident in him subconsciously?
Lin You scratched his hair and walked out of the bedroom.
In the living room, Shi Jingyuan was already dressed and eating breakfast. When he saw her walking towards him with sleepy eyes, a smile spread across his face.
"Mrs. Lin, good morning."
His voice was deep and rich, which instantly sobered Lin You up.
"Uh... morning."
After she said this, she walked stiffly into the bathroom.
When she looked in the mirror and saw herself with her hair as messy as a chicken coop and her pajamas as wrinkled as a rag, she felt ashamed.
Is this how she appeared in front of Mr. Shi just now?
Forget it, just throw it away.
Lin You came out after washing up and sat opposite Shi Jingyuan to have breakfast.
Neither of them seemed to want to talk and just ate quietly.
However, she was still wearing pajamas and eating breakfast with him, and it always felt like they were a homely couple.
This thought popped into her mind and really scared her, so she ate the bread faster.
Seeing her stand up, Shi Jingyuan raised his eyes and asked, "Miss Lin, are you going home directly later?"
Lin You: “Yeah.”
Shi Jingyuan: "Go change your clothes, I'll wait for you. I'll ask Master Zhou to take you back later."
"Uh..." She wanted to say no.
But Shi Jingyuan had already turned around and went to the balcony to make a phone call, not giving her any chance to refuse.
Lin You sighed and went back to his room to change clothes.
Because it was the weekend, she didn't have to wear a professional suit. In addition, the climate in the coastal city was hot and humid, so Lin You picked a light blue suspender skirt.
Shi Jingyuan was sitting on the sofa waiting for her after finishing a phone call. He was stunned when he saw her come out.
Lin You has fair skin and looks very good because she gets enough sleep. Her cheeks are a healthy pink, and her rosy and plump lips are smeared with a little lipstick, the color is very light, and it is just the right beauty when paired with the blue dress.
"Boss Shi, I'm done packing and ready to go."
Her voice is also soft and sticky.
Shi Jingyuan's throat rolled, he looked away, stood up, and took the luggage bag from her hand.
"Letting a woman carry the bag would make me look ungentlemanly."
Lin You pursed her lips, thanked him, and followed him obediently.

When the two entered the elevator, there was already a man and a woman in it.
The boy had dyed gray hair and was dressed very fashionably, while the girl was wearing a cool summer outfit, delicate makeup, and a luxury handbag hanging on her arm.
The man behaved frivolously, his hands were always around the woman's waist, occasionally squeezing it.
Lin You stood by and looked away slightly.
Shi Jingyuan frowned unhappily.
"Hey... isn't this... Sister Youyou?"
The girl noticed Lin You and an expression of surprise and excitement appeared on her face.
Hearing this, the boy also looked in Lin You's direction, his eyes filled with scrutiny and appreciation of his prey.
"Baby, do you know this beautiful sister? Introduce her to me, so we can play together."
Hearing this, Lin You looked at the girl's face carefully and found it indeed looked familiar.
The girl laughed and said, "Why, it's only been a few years and you don't recognize me? I'm Zhou Huanhuan."
Lin You thought for a moment and finally remembered.
However, along with this name comes the darkest memory of her life.
Lin You's face turned slightly pale, and he obviously did not respond to Zhou Huanhuan's meaning.
Zhou Huanhuan didn't know whether she didn't know how to read people's expressions or she simply didn't care.
She smiled and glanced at Shi Jingyuan who was standing next to Lin You, and joked, "As expected of Sister Youyou, the bosses she found are always good-looking and generous."
Hearing this, Lin You's whole body stiffened instinctively.
Zhou Huanhuan pretended not to see it and introduced it to the people next to him:
"Mr. Feng, this is Sister Youyou, the most popular masseuse in our Bi Hai Yun Tian. She is my good sister. If you have any good resources, please introduce her to Sister Youyou."
The boy called Feng Shao immediately understood.
"So you're in the same business as me. Darling, you're such a good boy. I'll ask my buddy to take care of your business someday."
Blue sea and sky, masseuse, baby, business...
These words were connected together, and although it was not said directly, everyone tacitly understood Zhou Huanhuan's occupation.
Zhou Huanhuan looked at Shi Jingyuan greedily again, took out a masseur's business card from her bag and handed it to him.
"Boss, this is my contact information. If you need anything, you can contact me. Since you are Sister Youyou's boss, I will give you a 20% discount..."
The elevator reached the first floor and the doors opened.
Shi Jingyuan walked out of the elevator with a cold face, not even giving Zhou Huanhuan a spare glance.
He took two steps and realized that Lin You didn't catch up, so he looked back.
This glance was still deeply impressed on him when he recalled it many years later.
At that time, she was like a body without flexibility.
Her eyes were empty, and her unfocused pupils looked forward, containing a numbness that was more frightening than despair.
Shi Jingyuan frowned, turned back, grabbed her wrist, and pulled her out of the elevator.
"Sister Youyou, since you're back in Licheng, please keep in touch and share resources."
Zhou Huanhuan's voice rang out behind them, but the two hurried along without looking back.
He Xuan and Master Zhou were waiting at the hotel entrance.
When they saw Shi Jingyuan coming out holding Lin You's hand with one hand and carrying a luggage bag with the other, they were stunned.
Then, He Xuan reacted and stepped forward to take the bag from Shi Jingyuan's hand.
He became more and more certain of his guess that Mr. Shi really treated Lin You differently.
At least he had never seen her carrying bags for other women.
The car door opened, and Shi Jingyuan stuffed the wooden-like Lin You in.
"Send her home first." Shi Jingyuan ordered coldly.
Master Zhou sensed his displeasure and, without asking any further questions, started the commercial vehicle and lowered the middle partition.
Shi Jingyuan loosened his tie, but still felt annoyed. He glanced at Lin You, who looked pale and had not yet come to his senses, and the annoyance gradually turned into anger.
"Lin You!"
This was the first time he called her by her full name.
Only when she heard her own name did she react a little, and she raised her eyes blankly to look in the direction of the voice.
Shi Jingyuan asked in a deep voice: "We were just in the elevator, why didn't you refute it?"
Lin You's expression was still a little dull. After a long while, he didn't answer but asked, "Why do you want to refute?"
Shi Jingyuan laughed angrily.
"She's insulting you, treating you like a toy that rich people can get by spending money! Shouldn't you have said something back?"
Lin You lowered his eyes, his thoughts were in a mess, and many images flashed through his mind.
In those pictures, there are happy runs in the romantic cherry blossom fields, the sunset at sea overlooking from a yacht, the hustle and bustle of extravagance and decadence, and her hysterical and crazy screams...
She suddenly raised her head, her eyes red, and said sadly:
"What she said is true. I'm such a rotten person... How can I refute it?"
