Wu Lizhen swayed her hips and stormed out of the coffee shop.
Pei Kaiwen originally planned to buy a plane ticket back to the capital today, but he was worried about how the Wu family treated Wu Xiaoxiao, so he simply booked a room in a five-star hotel and stayed.
I will be staying at the Royal Court Hotel on Yezhou Island for a month. If you need any help, please feel free to contact me.
When Wu Xiaoxiao received Pei Kaiwen's nonsensical message, she was stunned for a moment.
She assumed he should be on his way to the airport at that moment.
Why did you suddenly stay?
Did something happen after she left?
Wu Xiaoxiao disguised herself to avoid Wu Lihong's men, but did she manage to shake them off? Did Wu Lihong's men find Pei Kaiwen?
Wu Xiaoxiao plans to return to the coffee shop.
Suddenly a man walked over: "Miss Wu."
Looking at his face, Wu Xiaoxiao remembered that he was Gu Chenge's bodyguard: "You are, Gu Qi?"
Gu Qi lowered his head and said, "Yes, Miss Wu, the person who was secretly monitoring you has been taken away. You can go out with peace of mind."
The implication is that there is no need for disguise.
Wu Xiaoxiao's eyes narrowed slightly behind her dark glasses for a moment before she thanked him, "Thank you. Was it too much trouble?"
Gu Qi replied, "No trouble at all. Miss Wu, is there something I did wrong?"
"No." She was the beneficiary, so how could she have the nerve to say he was wrong? Wu Xiaoxiao casually asked, "I have something to do. Are you coming with me?"
Gu Qi was good at reading people's expressions. Although Miss Wu didn't say it explicitly, he sensed that she didn't like him following her.
"I'm sorry, Miss Wu, the Second Young Master only sent me to Yezhou Island to serve you because he was worried about your safety."
Gu Qi explained, taking out a pen and a notebook from his pocket, writing down a number, tearing it off, and handing it to Wu Xiaoxiao: "This is my number. Please contact me anytime if you need anything."
To put Ms. Wu's mind at ease, he would outwardly avoid appearing around her.
Wu Xiaoxiao accepted the note, thanked him again, and got into a taxi.
After noting down the license plate number, Gu Qi got into a black minivan and then called Ji Moxun to ask him to check the car's whereabouts.
Ji Moxun said no problem. Wu Xiaoxiao is already his second brother's girlfriend, how could he let her fly away?
Absolutely not!
Wu Xiaoxiao came to the coffee shop again, saying that she had lost something very important and asked to talk to the manager to check the store's surveillance footage. She also gave the manager 500 yuan.
The manager took the money and took Wu Xiaoxiao to see the surveillance footage.
When Wu Xiaoxiao saw Wu Lizhen walking towards Pei Kaiwen on the surveillance footage, her brows furrowed tightly.
Wu Lizhen and Pei Kaiwen talked for a full ten minutes.
However, due to the distance and the presence of other sounds in the coffee shop, Wu Xiaoxiao couldn't hear what Wu Lizhen and Pei Kaiwen were saying.
However, judging from Wu Lizhen's expression and her angry departure at the end, the two did not have a pleasant conversation.
So, Pei Kaiwen stayed on Yezhou Island because he was still worried about her, right?
Wu Xiaoxiao looked at the surveillance footage, and after a moment, she asked the manager, "Can I take today's surveillance footage with me?"
The manager held out one palm to her.
This will cost five thousand yuan.
Wu Xiaoxiao frowned. She had to get her hands on this surveillance footage, so she had no choice but to compromise: "I don't have that much cash on me. Can I pay by WeChat transfer?"
"Scan me."
The manager opened the WeChat payment QR code.
Wu Xiaoxiao scanned the code, entered the amount, but didn't enter a password. She looked at the manager and said, "Give me the surveillance footage first."
"Are you afraid I'll cheat you out of your money, young lady?"
The manager said something, but still pulled up today's surveillance footage and sent it to the email address provided by Wu Xiaoxiao.
After receiving the surveillance video, Wu Xiaoxiao put away her phone and said, "Manager, it's not that I don't want to pay you, it's just that I think this job is more important than this five thousand yuan. What do you think?"
The manager, not expecting her to go back on her word, angrily cursed, "You son of a bitch, you dare to play me for fools?"
Wu Xiaoxiao's face instantly turned cold, her tone carrying a hint of threat: "It seems you want to lose both your money and your job."
The manager's eyes flickered when she kept mentioning work, then he regained a sliver of rationality: "What do you mean?"
"Unfortunately, I know the owner of this coffee shop. In fact, she owes me a favor. Do you think she'll fire you if I tell her you accepted bribes?" Wu Xiaoxiao looked at him calmly.
The manager didn't believe him: "Who are you trying to fool!"
"Okay, I'll make a call."
Wu Xiaoxiao took out her phone and searched for the number of a former employer. After finding it, she dialed the number.
The manager watched from the sidelines with a mixture of belief and skepticism.
Once the call connected, Wu Xiaoxiao spoke first: "Lu Wen, do you remember me?"
Upon hearing the boss's name, the manager's eyes widened like saucers, and he immediately clasped his hands together and bowed to Wu Xiaoxiao, hoping she would let him go.
Seeing this, Wu Xiaoxiao said nonchalantly, "It's nothing, I'll treat you to a meal next time. I'll hang up now, bye-bye."
She hung up the phone after saying that.
"Can I leave now?"
"Please, please."
The manager bowed and gestured for them to proceed.
Wu Xiaoxiao was warmly seen off from the coffee shop by the manager.
Just as Wu Xiaoxiao stepped out of the coffee shop, her phone rang.
It was Wu Lizhen calling.
Wu Xiaoxiao squinted her eyes, and after answering the call, she didn't put the phone to her ear.
But Wu Lizhen's loud voice could still be faintly heard: "What did you mean just now? You actually saved my number as Lu Wen's?"
Wu Xiaoxiao said lightly, "There's a mistake."
Wu Lizhen sneered from the phone: "Hmph! You've gone too far. Don't think that just because you have Gu Chenge backing you up, I'll be afraid of you. I already know he's not your boyfriend, and your second uncle knows too!"
Wu Xiaoxiao frowned and said sarcastically, "Well, whatever you say goes. You can't change a pig's mind."
"That's... Wu Xiaoxiao! How dare you call me and my second uncle pigs?"
Wu Lizhen's cursing voice came from the phone: "You bitch, without Gu Chenge protecting you, you are nothing! You just wait!"
"I'll wait."
Wu Xiaoxiao hung up the phone and turned it off.
In the eyes of the Wu family, she was a woman who needed Gu Chenge's protection.
Without Gu Chenge, she's just a soft persimmon to be squeezed by anyone.
hehe.
Wu Xiaoxiao always felt that this group of Wu family members were transformed from the splattered clay left behind by the goddess Nuwa; they only had shells, but no souls or brains.
If she were truly so weak and easily bullied, why haven't they managed to sell her for a good price all these years?
Do they really think her job is all for nothing?
None of her employers' families could compare to the nouveau riche and gamblers like the Wu family!
Wu Xiaoxiao took a deep breath. She was almost there. If she could just have a little more time to get that evidence, she could completely retaliate against the Wu family!
The call was hung up on, and when Wu Lizhen called back, the phone was switched off. Furious, she smashed her phone on the ground.
The phone shattered instantly.
Wu Lizhen cursed angrily, "Wu Xiaoxiao, you bitch, you shameless slut, all you do is seduce men, just you wait, I'll make you cry so hard you won't even be able to cry anymore!"
