Chapter 244: How can it not be delicious if you use spirit beasts to grill skewers?
Lu Yao quickly put away his thoughts, forced a smile, raised his glass and clinked it with Zhou Ran, and said softly:
"Okay, let's go."
Then he tilted his head back and took a sip of red wine.
Everyone continued to sit together, enjoying the delicious barbecue and drinking the fragrant red wine.
Occasionally, I would drink a few sips of sweet hot tea to sober up, moisten my throat, and chat about gossip.
After a good meal and a good drink.
At this time, Tang Shi's cell phone rang.
Tang Shi was slightly stunned, and quickly put down the teacup in his hand, took out his mobile phone from his pocket, glanced at the caller ID on the screen, and a look of confusion appeared on his face.
Then he stood up and said to everyone with a hint of apology:
"Excuse me, I have to take a call."
Having said that, he walked to a quieter corner to answer the call.
No one paid much attention to it and continued chatting.
Not long after, Tang Shi came back after answering the phone. There was a look of anger on her face, and she tried hard to calm herself down.
Su Qian saw that something was wrong with her.
He hurriedly asked, "What's wrong? Are you okay?"
"Qianqian, I'm sorry, I have something to deal with first. I have to leave now. I'm so sorry to spoil everyone's fun."
Tang Shi looked apologetic.
"Okay, then be careful." Su Qian reminded.
"It's hard to get a taxi here. I haven't drunk any alcohol, so let me give you a ride." Yun Lang stood up, pushed his glasses, and looked sincere.
Tang Shi was stunned for a moment, then nodded, "Thank you very much, thank you for your trouble."
"What trouble are you talking about? We're all friends. You have an urgent matter, so it's only right that I can help you."
Yun Lang responded with a smile, reaching for his coat as he spoke.
Send Tang Shi out.
After the two left the villa, everyone continued to sit in the backyard, but the lively and cheerful atmosphere was a little less lively.
Until late at night.
The barbecue on the table was almost cold, and there was still some red wine left in the bottle.
Everyone has almost finished eating.
Zhou Ran stretched and yawned, saying, "Tsk, it's so late. I'll go back first."
"Yeah, it's getting late, let's all go." Yuan Qiu agreed.
I stood up and stretched my body which was a little stiff from sitting for so long.
"Thank you, Miss Su Qian, for the wild game."
Xu Ziling also stood up and said, "We had a really satisfying barbecue today."
"You're welcome."
Su Qian waved her hand.
Because of the alcohol, her whole face looked a little red.
Zhou Ran and his companions left one after another.
The backyard was a mess.
Fortunately, we have Xiaoliu, an all-round robot, so we can leave the cleaning to Xiaoliu.
"Hey? Tang Shi's bag is still here."
Su Qian had sharp eyes and immediately noticed the bag on the chair in the corner.
This guy just walked too fast.
Left everything behind.
I don’t know if she will need to use the things inside at this moment.
After thinking about it, Su Qian decided to call her.
After the phone rang a few times, it was connected. Su Qian hurriedly said, "Shishi, you left in such a hurry that you left your bag in the backyard. Do you need it now? If you do, I'll ask Lu Yao to bring it to you."
"Oh, I didn't even notice. I don't need it right now. Qianqian, please keep it for me. I'll get it from you after I finish my work here. Thank you."
Tang Shi's voice, a little annoyed, came from the other end of the phone.
After hanging up the phone.
Su Qian put her bag on the table beside her.
"Forget it, I'll just send it to her tomorrow."
Su Qian yawned. Due to the alcohol and the tossing and turning all night, she gradually felt sleepy.
"If you're tired, go back to your room and rest early."
Lu Yao looked at Su Qian, who looked a little tired, and said softly.
"Yeah, I'm really sleepy. I haven't had a good rest since I came back. I've been busy all day."
Su Qian rubbed his heavy head and responded to Lu Yao's words, his voice full of fatigue.
…
Tang Shi arrived at the community, got off the car, hurriedly thanked Yun Lang, and went upstairs.
"Shishi..."
Tang Shi just got out of the elevator.
Then he saw a woman squatting at the door in a mess.
Her face and body were covered with wounds, her eye sockets were bruised and sunken, there was still blood at the corners of her mouth, and her hair was disheveled.
When she saw Tang Shi, a light flashed in her eyes.
But it was soon replaced by despair, and he whispered with a hoarse and weak voice:
"Shishi..."
"cousin."
Tang Shi hurried forward, squatted down and supported the woman, frowning and asking anxiously:
"Did he hit you again?"
The woman is Tang Shi's cousin, five years older than her.
The two have had a very good relationship since childhood. Although they are not biological sisters, they are better than biological sisters.
When the woman heard the words "He hit you again", tears instantly burst out.
She nodded painfully, her voice trembling. "He was particularly ruthless this time. I felt like I was about to be beaten to death... If I don't run away, I really don't know what will happen..."
"Shishi, I...I have nowhere else to go, so I can only come to you."
As she spoke, she gasped in pain.
My body couldn't stop shaking slightly.
The bruises on his face looked even more terrifying under the dim light in the corridor.
Tang Shi's eyes were red with heartache. He gently pushed aside the woman's messy hair and checked the wound on her head.
While checking, he gritted his teeth and cursed:
"This beast! Sister, don't panic. Let's go to the hospital and treat his injuries. Then we will call the police and make sure he is punished by law."
The woman grabbed Tang Shi's hand and shook her head bitterly: "No, you can't call the police! It's useless."
There was despair in her eyes.
"Even if I call the police, they'll only detain me for a few days at most and then classify it as a family conflict. After he's released, he'll only retaliate against me even more severely. I really don't dare..."
As the woman spoke, tears welled up in her eyes.
My body couldn't stop shaking, as if I was recalling those terrible scenes.
Tang Shi frowned.
My heart is filled with helplessness and anger.
She wanted to know that if domestic violence is not handled properly, the victim will often fall into deeper trouble.
She could only comfort him, "Okay, okay, I won't call the police. Don't be afraid. Go to my house first and heal your wounds. We can talk about other things later."
The woman nodded with sobs.
He let Tang Shi half-support and half-carry him into the house.
As soon as you enter the house.
Tang Shi asked the woman to sit on the sofa, and he quickly got the medicine box and helped the woman treat the wound simply and skillfully.
He kept muttering, "Sister, didn't you say you wanted a divorce? Why did it end up like this?"
Tang Shi said this with both heartache and some resentment.
However, his hands were still gentle, for fear of hurting the woman.
Hearing this, the woman sighed softly, "I brought it up, but he totally disagreed. Besides, there's a 30-day cooling-off period for divorces now."
"Besides, I'm even more afraid of angering him. He said that even if we get divorced, he won't let me have an easy life..."
