Liang Jia wrapped her arms around Lu Kai's waist, as if afraid she would be knocked away.
The man, who returned in the middle of the night, persisted for ten minutes before running out of energy. He withdrew from Liang Jia and said, "Let's go to bed."
The moment Lu Kai let go, Liang Jia collapsed to the ground, her legs completely powerless. She gasped for breath and said, "Wait a minute, I'm so tired."
"I'll carry you." Lu Kai mustered all his strength and carried Liang Jia to the bed.
After a few minutes, neither of them had any interest.
"Jiajia, I see you're too tired, I can't bear to continue, let's get dressed." Lu Kai made up an excuse.
"Okay." Liang Jia nodded. "Sir, you should change your clothes too. I'll go to the clinic this morning and come back to see you tonight."
Lu Kai pointed to his forehead: "Okay, give me a kiss. I can't see you off right away. Message me when you're done."
After the man left, Liang Jia sent Tang Wan a message: "I'll be there in a bit."
The woman sat in front of the mirror, and two very obvious hickeys on the side of her neck could not be covered even after applying foundation and concealer.
Yesterday, I only brought one change of clothes to the Lu Mansion. The neckline was too low to cover anything, and it would be even more illogical to tie a silk scarf around my neck.
The woman hardened her heart, scratched two marks on her neck, and put on a band-aid. She deliberately left a scratch mark outside the band-aid so that if Tang Wan asked, she could say it was from last time, and that it was itchy after scabbing over, and she couldn't help but scratch it open again.
Liang Jia didn't look well. She applied layer after layer of makeup, and touched up her makeup again in the clinic's parking lot before daring to see Tang Wan.
The woman brought Tang Wan a cup of coffee and a small cake on the way.
"You're feeling much better," Tang Wan said to Liang Jia.
After inviting Liang Jia into the consultation room, she locked the door.
Tang Wan first gave Liang Jia a carton of milk and chatted casually for a few minutes. When she sat down, she noticed the scars on the woman's neck, which seemed to have been freshly inflicted.
"He contacted you?" Tang Wan's smile froze instantly, her eyes fixed on the two bandages as she asked.
Liang Jia covered her neck and touched it: "No, it's from last time. I accidentally scratched it again."
Don't lie to me.
“I swear, I really caught it myself.” Liang Jia raised her finger.
"I believe you. If that pervert contacts you again, call the police. He hasn't contacted you recently, has he?"
"No." Liang Jia answered without looking her friend in the eye, then quickly changed the subject, "Wanmian, don't be angry. Sigh, I really envy Dr. Song. She has such a good husband who always sides with her."
"Did you watch the news?" Tang Wan asked.
"Hmm, Mrs. Fu is really something. Wanwan, do you think even the most outstanding women can't avoid being bullied by their in-laws after marriage?" Liang Jia asked deliberately. "Does Dr. Song complain?"
"I've never heard Dr. Song talk about the old lady behind her back, Liang Jia. Let me tell you, stop being so love-struck. Don't think that it's all the same who you marry and will be bullied by your in-laws. Dr. Song is different. She married President Fu, and President Fu is on her side." Tang Wan reminded Liang Jia.
“Yes, her husband is completely on her side. So do you think Fu Jingsheng would really send the old lady back to the Fu family’s old house because of Rong Yan?” Liang Jia thought that if he sent her back, she would try to get close to the old lady and stir things up again.
"How would I know? Have you even sorted out your own affairs? Why are you worrying about others?" Tang Wan said bluntly.
"Is Dr. Song just anyone? She used to be my boss. I feel so sorry for such a good person, having to deal with an old lady like that." Liang Jia, whose own love life was a mess, felt sorry for Rong Yan instead.
Tang Wan poked her heart: "Don't pity others, let's begin."
After leaving the clinic at noon, Liang Jia immediately messaged Lu Kai. Although she couldn't find out if the old lady would be sent away, Tang Wan said that the four children of the Fu family had gone to summer camp. Tang Wan had seen Rong Yan's posts on WeChat Moments and they would be back in the next couple of days.
Shen Xingzhi will bring them to the clinic.
Liang Jia said she would discuss the specifics with Lu Kai in person.
Ever since the four children were taken away, the Fu family has been very careful, and no strangers have been allowed to approach them. But it was different at the clinic; Liang Jia was able to enter the clinic.
Lu Kai sat in his office and happily opened a bottle of wine.
I need to appease Liang Jia these next few days.
——
That evening at Yushui Bay, Fu Jingsheng returned home and, as usual, went straight to the second floor. When he stopped at the bedroom door, he remembered that Rong Yan was not home.
The man walked downstairs dejectedly.
He went to the kitchen and found some food. He sat alone in the sunroom, trying to distract himself with the food, but after finishing the two bowls of fruit, he still missed Rong Yan terribly.
Fu Jingsheng opened WeChat and started a video call.
Rong Yan was having barbecue with Shen Xingzhi, and there were several bottles of beer on the table.
Fu Jingsheng sat up straight. Rong Yan wasn't sleeping at Shen Xingzhi's house, which meant they could meet. He smiled and said, "Are you having a late-night snack? Where? I want some."
Rong Yan turned the camera to the barbecue stall: "Don't come to that night market we went to before. Xingzhi and I have agreed that it's just the two of us tonight, and neither of us will bring any men."
Fu Jingsheng immediately wilted again: "Poor thing, I'm starving while someone else is eating and drinking well without taking me."
Shen Xingzhi leaned close to the camera: "Fu Jingsheng, doesn't the housekeeper at home cook for you? Night market stalls don't suit your style at all. Hang up, today and tomorrow, Rong Yan belongs only to me."
Rong Yan smiled and said, "Don't be silly. If you want to eat it, I'll take you in a couple of days. Xingzhi and I have something to talk about today, and it's not convenient for a man to be around. Get some rest. Good night."
The woman hung up the phone after she finished speaking.
"At eight o'clock, you said goodnight?" Fu Jingsheng replied, but the video call had already been cut off.
At the barbecue stall, Shen Xingzhi, who had been drinking plain water for several days, chug beer straight from the bottle, never having discovered how delicious beer could be.
Rong Yan kept trying to stop her: "Drink less, I can't carry you if you drink too much."
Shen Xingzhi wouldn't listen to a word, and sure enough, she collapsed within two hours.
Rong Yan had no choice but to call Yu Wenhao, who came from the hotel and took Shen Xingzhi home.
But after the car arrived at the residential area, Shen Xingzhi kept holding onto Yu Wenhao's arm and refused to get out of the car.
Rong Yan had no choice but to go upstairs by herself first.
"Xingzhi." Yu Wenhao opened a bottle of water and fed it to Shen Xingzhi, but the woman pushed it away. "The water tastes awful, Yu Wenhao. Don't you like excitement? Come on, in the car, come on!" she said as she took off her clothes.
Yu Wenhao sat motionless. He never showed any interest in excitement; it was always to accommodate Shen Xingzhi.
"Come on." Shen Xingzhi waited for a while, but the man didn't move. She pulled the man's hand to her chest. "Open the window, right here, I'll scare you to death."
Yu Wenhao withdrew his hand: "Xingzhi, you've had too much to drink."
"Not much, are you even a man? You're usually pretty fierce, aren't you? Give me something even fiercer." The woman provocatively spoke, fueled by alcohol, hoping that Yu Wenhao would back down after venting her grievances from the past few days.
Unexpectedly, the man unbuckled his seatbelt, reclined the passenger seat, and climbed onto Shen Xingzhi.
