After graduating from university, Liu Xiyan followed Zhao Chuansheng to Xidu, where she didn't have many friends.
Of course, except for Lu Xueqing.
After leaving the Zhao family, the only person she could rely on was Lu Xueqing.
It's not accurate to say she's seeking refuge with someone else, since the apartment Lu Xueqing lives in is still under her name.
She could no longer stay at the Zhao family's house, so she simply went to find Lu Xueqing and lived in an apartment with her.
At this moment, Lu Xueqing had no idea that she was about to encounter a worn-out woman.
Today was the weekend, and she and Qi Wei cooked something to eat together in the apartment.
She was hesitating whether or not to call Lin Yu.
"That awful guy left without a word yesterday and hasn't called me since. He's really gone too far!" Lu Xueqing complained, clutching her phone.
"No, I can't give in to him first!" Lu Xueqing made up her mind and put her phone aside.
Qi Wei sat down and patiently advised, "Xueqing, don't think like that. There's no such thing as a husband and wife bowing their heads or not. You're not enemies!"
"Besides, Liu Xiyan was in the wrong in this whole thing. Think about it, what man can accept someone introducing a potential partner to his wife? If it were me with my short temper, I would have knocked her underwear off!" Qi Wei said angrily.
Lu Xueqing immediately pursed her lips.
That's true. If it were me, knowing that Lin Yu was going on a blind date with someone else, I probably wouldn't be able to stand it either.
Actually, she didn't really blame Lin Yu; on the contrary, it was a sign that he cared about her.
“I know he’s unhappy, but he has to be careful with his approach. He can’t just hit people! You have no idea how hard he hit her yesterday; he even bruised Xiyan’s face!” Lu Xueqing said helplessly.
She hadn't called Liu Xiyan since they parted ways yesterday, and she didn't know if her best friend was angry with her.
Knock knock knock!
Just then, a loud knocking sounded at the door.
Qi Wei got up to open the door.
The door opened, and Liu Xiyan dragged her suitcase in, crying.
"Xueqing, waaaaah!"
Liu Xiyan put down her suitcase and rushed into Lu Xueqing's arms.
Lu Xueqing was stunned. "Xiyan, what happened to you? And what about your face?"
Lu Xueqing cupped Liu Xiyan's face in her hands, feeling utterly astonished.
Lin Yu only slapped him yesterday, how come his head is swollen like a pig's head today?
Liu Xiyan immediately burst into tears, "What else could it be? It's all that heartless Zhao Chuansheng's fault! He's the one who beat me up!!"
"Huh?" Lu Xueqing looked shocked and asked in confusion, "Xiyan, how could this happen? President Zhao has always been very good to you, why would he hit you? And he hit you so hard!"
Lu Xueqing couldn't understand.
In her memory, Liu Xiyan was a wealthy woman.
Zhao Chuansheng spoils her rotten, letting her eat whatever she wants and buy whatever she wants.
How could they have gone to such lengths?
Liu Xiyan naturally wouldn't mention her own messy affairs. Instead, she turned the tables and accused Zhao Chuansheng of being fickle and having another woman outside, which is why he kicked her out.
Lu Xueqing frowned slightly. "Really, Xiyan? Could there be some misunderstanding? I don't think President Zhao is that kind of person!"
Liu Xiyan's expression was somewhat unnatural, but she still bit her lip and said, "Sigh, you can know a person's face but not their heart! Men, none of them are good, they're all philandering cats! Especially rich men like them, it's only because I gave him a son, otherwise, he would have kicked me out long ago! Xueqing, let me tell you, men really can't be relied on! We have to rely on ourselves!"
Liu Xiyan's words were truly a wake-up call.
Lu Xueqing listened to what he said.
Now that Liu Xiyan is a living example, she feels even more uneasy.
Thinking of Lin Yu's 'female confidantes' made her feel uneasy, as if she had thorns stuck in her heart.
Qi Wei, who was standing nearby, couldn't help but speak up, "Just because your man is unreliable doesn't mean other men are unreliable! Those people with status, especially the sons of powerful families, cherish their reputation the most and would never do such a despicable thing!"
Liu Xiyan frowned. "You're Xueqing's assistant, right? I'm talking to Xueqing, how dare you, a servant, interrupt? Oh, by the way, from now on, I'm moving in with Xueqing. This apartment is too small; it can't accommodate so many people. You'd better move out quickly!"
"You!" Qi Wei was furious. She was a servant, but only a servant of the madam. Who did you think you were, daring to boss me around?
Qi Wei was, after all, from a noble family, and was nominally the wife of a marquis, so she naturally had her own pride.
If Lu Xueqing hadn't been there, she would have already slapped him with a big shovel.
Liu Xiyan, oblivious to the situation, said smugly, "What? You're not convinced? Let me tell you, this apartment belongs to me. You're just a wage earner. Do you deserve to live in such a nice place?"
"You're asking for it!" Qi Wei's face grew increasingly ugly, her large hand poised to strike.
Knowing her temper, Lu Xueqing immediately stood up to smooth things over.
"Qi Wei, Xi Yan, you are both my friends, please don't do this!"
Lu Xueqing shook her head helplessly and said to Liu Xiyan, "Xiyan, although Sister Qi is my assistant, she is also my best friend. I hope you can respect her! Besides, this apartment isn't small; it has two rooms! If you insist on moving in, Qi Wei and I will share one room, and you can have the other one!"
“If you don’t like living with us, then we’ll move out and find another place on our own!” Lu Xueqing said.
