Chapter 53
Lu Xun didn't have any strength in that kick and directly kicked the man several meters away with a loud bang. Li Liang fell to the ground, holding his stomach and howling in pain. The two bodyguards dragged him out like garbage.
Lu Xun's expression was too ugly. Others did not want to stay and bring bad luck to others, so they said they had other things to do at the company and left in a hurry.
Jiang Qiao rested in the man's arms for a while before she recovered from her panic. She didn't know when she had tightly grasped the man's shirt.
Jiang Qiao reacted and thought of something. He hastily let go of it, but the shirt still had wrinkles on it.
She glanced at Lu Xun in panic, and only breathed a sigh of relief when she saw no obvious disgust in his eyes. Then she lowered her eyes and said in a low voice, “Thank you…”
As the alcohol took effect, her face and jade-like neck turned slightly red. Her brain felt dizzy and she could only barely keep her body steady to avoid embarrassing herself in front of Lu Xun.
However, the strong smell of alcohol and misty eyelashes could not deceive anyone.
Lu Xun didn't say anything. He looked down at her for a while. Seeing her swaying from side to side, he didn't help her. He said in a cold voice, "You are drunk."
He paused and said, "It smells terrible."
Even though he was slow to react, Jiang Qiao could still hear the coldness and disdain in his tone.
A dull pain quietly welled up in my heart.
Jiang Qiao didn't want to cry in front of Lu Xun. That was too weak. Maybe it was the effect of alcohol, she couldn't hold back her tears. Tears flowed down her slightly red eyes, and even her voice was filled with tears: "…………I'm sorry."
"He, he said if I didn't drink, he wouldn't let me go. I never drank before..."
Jiang Qiao cursed herself in her heart. Six years had passed, and she had experienced so much, but she still felt wronged in front of Lu Xun.
She despised herself for being like this, and wiped her tears without any care, the thin skin around her eye sockets was rubbed red, so pitiful,
Lu Xun frowned and pulled her hand down: "Don't wipe it."
Jiang Qiao was still sobbing, but he didn't move anymore, and he obediently let him pull.
After a while, Lu Xun said, "I'll take you back."
Jiang Qiao wanted to refuse, but when she met Lu Xun's indifferent gaze, she didn't dare to say anything and just followed Lu Xun.
The car was completely silent except for the sound of shallow breathing. Alcohol took over Jiang Qiao's brain. She looked at the profile of the man driving the car and felt a little confused about what day it was.
Lu Xun seemed to be in a bad mood. The veins on his hands that were holding the steering wheel were bulging, his brows were tightly furrowed, and his whole body exuded a depressed low pressure.
If it were normal times, Jiang Qiao would definitely be able to see it, but she was not very clear-headed now.
She recalled that in the past, when she was close to Lu Xun because of the mission and pestered him, she never knew what shame was, and dared to say and do anything.
Jiang Qiao couldn't remember when he started to have reservations.
Alcohol always makes people's emotions sensitive. Jiang Qiao's mind flashed through all of Lu Xun's coldness and impatience since their reunion like a movie. When she touched the silver bracelet through her thin coat, her eyes couldn't help but turn red again.
She turned her head to look out the window, but did not see the sudden gloomy look on Lu Xun's face at that moment.
The black vehicle drove into the villa area where every inch of land is valuable, and for a long time, no one got out of the car.
In the dim and quiet car, Lu Xun's eyes fell on the sleeping girl beside him, and the emotion in his eyes was unclear.
The girl in the passenger seat was sleeping soundly, her long, wet eyelashes cast a small silhouette, and her fair skin was stained with bright red.
I cried so hard that the redness at the corners of my eyes hasn't faded yet.
Lu Xun had always known that Jiang Qiao was just a coward who looked strong on the outside but was weak on the inside, but he never thought that she could be bullied like this.
Didn't you leave him for a better life? Why did you end up like this?
Lu Xun suddenly thought of what he saw at the banquet last time: the girl’s red wrists and her torn white dress. Everything that happened tonight flashed through his mind as well.
He closed his eyes, suppressing all the violence in them.
The next morning, the aftereffects of being drunk were fully exposed. Jiang Qiao had just half opened his eyes when he felt a terrible headache.
The unfamiliar room environment made her stunned.
[166, Lu Xun brought me here?]
[Well, this is where the male protagonist lives.]
Where Lu Xun lives...
Jiang Qiao stood up and lifted the quilt. There was a pair of pink slippers at her feet. She hesitated for a moment, but finally put them on.
The three-story villa has a back garden. Jiang Qiao stood on the second floor and saw someone watering the back garden.
She walked down the stairs, but did not see Lu Xun. There was only breakfast on the dining table downstairs.
When the cooking aunt saw her coming down, she immediately asked with a smile: "I don't know what you like to eat, Miss, so I made a little more, you can just pick what you like."
"…………Thank you. Where's Lu Xun?"
"Mr. has gone to the company."
“Oh…” Jiang Qiao nodded, feeling a little disappointed.
She didn't have a very good appetite. After drinking a small bowl of porridge, she didn't want to eat anymore.
"Is that all you want to eat?" Her aunt advised her to eat more, and Jiang Qiao reluctantly ate another egg.
Her aunt was busy packing and didn't let her help. Jiang Qiao felt very uncomfortable.
It seemed impolite to leave right after finishing the meal, so after a while, she stood up and said goodbye.
Her head still hurt badly, so she planned to ask for leave from the crew. The director had a bad temper, so Jiang Qiao was prepared to be scolded. Unexpectedly, he agreed very readily, spoke in an unusually nice tone, and even asked her to take care of herself.
Jiang Qiao: “?”
After hanging up the phone, she frowned in confusion.
It was not until she arrived at the dormitory that she realized what had happened.
Liu Shuang, who had not been seen for more than a month, sat in the dormitory with Julie standing beside him.
Are you here to call for punishment?
Seeing her come back,
A smile suddenly appeared on Liu Shuang's harsh face: "Why did Xiao Qiao come back so early?"
What do you mean you came back so early? Jiang Qiao had no interest in chatting with her: "Sister Liu, are you here today? Do you have anything to say to me?"
"Mr. Li complained to you and asked you to ban me?" Jiang Qiao said with undisguised sarcasm.
"Hey...what are you talking about? I can ban anyone but you." Liu Shuang smiled and lowered his voice: "Besides, there is no President Li now."
"What's the meaning?"
Liu Shuang said: "Don't you know? Li Liang's company went bankrupt and is now being chased by the bank for debt repayment!"
With an expression that said "I know all about it", she added, "I didn't expect you to hook up with the one from Guonan. You should have told me earlier. I just got some resources for a few dramas. I'll send them all to you soon. You can choose carefully..."
Liu Shuang was still talking to herself, obviously misunderstanding her relationship with Lu Xun. Jiang Qiao didn't even think about it and quickly clarified: "I have nothing to do with the president of Guonan."
No matter how close you are, can they help you? Can they bankrupt the Li family overnight? Who would believe it if I told them?
