Lu Qing just hoped that these two months would pass quickly so she could get through this period and move out as soon as possible.
She should either go home or find some work; she absolutely cannot stay with Qin Hai all the time.
She's not blind; she could naturally tell that Qin Hai was interested in her.
But at this moment, Lu Yang wished time would slow down.
Because they hired some more employees in the past two months, and after training them, they were able to manage the business very well.
Moreover, there are many businesses in the south, and some people have already imitated their business practices, so their businesses are not as busy as before.
Yao Lili could get off work at five o'clock every afternoon, and then go to the school to find Lu Yang.
If Lu Yang got out of school early, he would also go to see Yao Lili. The two often had dinner together and read books together in the library.
Yao Lili reads books, Lu Yang does his homework, or they go out to watch movies and go shopping together; they live a very comfortable life.
Less than a week later, more negative information about Lu Qing surfaced.
Moreover, it was reported in the provincial capital's daily evening newspaper that Lu Qing did indeed embezzle money from the school while she was in school and also became someone's mistress.
However, she spent most of the money on herself, and her last expense was buying over 1,000 yuan worth of government bonds for herself.
All the evidence was posted in the newspaper, clearly written down.
Now even the last person who suspected Lu Qing of being threatened was gone. Those who sympathized with Lu Qing were furious, feeling like they had been played.
Lu Qing had no time to pay attention to these things, because Qin Hai had invited a group of friends home for dinner.
He bought groceries and asked Lu Qing to cook. Lu Qing had no cooking skills, and she was flustered and clumsy. In her haste, oil from the pan splattered onto her arm, burning her and causing a blister.
Lu Qing couldn't help but let out a soft cry, quickly covering the blister. She didn't care about the pork still frying in the pot, and started to cry quietly.
She couldn't understand how she, who just wanted to live a good life, had ended up in such a miserable state.
On the other hand, Lu Yang, who should have been trampled underfoot and forced to serve them like a slave, is living a prosperous life.
She was filled with hatred, but powerless to harm Lu Yang in the slightest.
Because when the rumors first appeared, she tried her best to smear Lu Yang, and she also inquired about Lu Yang's recent situation.
However, what she said didn't have any impact on Lu Yang.
On the contrary, her own life got worse and worse, and in the end, she could no longer make it in the film and television industry.
By the time she came to her senses, the pot was already emitting a burnt smell; the whole pot of pork stew with vermicelli was burnt.
Qin Hai walked to the door, his face contorted with heartache as he looked at the food in the pot. He rushed over and shoved Lu Qing hard.
Lu Qing bumped into the wall, her shoulder aching. She looked at Qin Hai with some fear but dared not utter a sound.
Because this is Qin Hai's home, Qin Hai could kick her out at any time.
Moreover, this small kitchen is only a dozen square meters, so if Qin Hai wanted to hit her, she wouldn't even have anywhere to hide.
She held back her tears and choked out, "I'm sorry, I was distracted for a moment and the food burned. I didn't mean to."
Qin Hai narrowed his eyes again when he saw her like this.
After he closed the pot, he walked up to Lu Qing with a stern face and said, "You can't even cook a simple dish properly, you're such a useless piece of trash!"
"Do you know how much this pound of pork costs? I haven't eaten meat for months, and I was craving this little bit, but you ruined it."
Lu Qing took a deep breath and said, "I'll give you the money back, can you go buy another pound of meat?"
Qin Hai stared at him coldly and questioned him directly, "Do you have money? If you had money, you would have gone home. Why would you be talking about my home?"
"If you're not destined to be a pampered princess, then don't act like one!"
Lu Qing was speechless after being confronted, and she realized that Qin Hai was different from any of the men she had met before.
The men she met were either refined and reasonable like her college classmates, or from wealthy families like Shen Xuwen.
Even those who enter the entertainment industry still follow some rules and are educated people.
But Qin Hai was different. He was a gambler from the bottom of society. He was uncultured, uneducated, unsophisticated, and lacked vision.
He speaks crudely, acts simplistically and brutally, is emotionally unstable, and is quite sleazy.
Lu Qing felt uneasy, as if she were being stared at by a hawk.
He carefully took off the silver ring from his hand and handed it to Qian Hai, saying, "This can definitely be exchanged for two pounds of meat."
Qin Hai glanced down at the ring, snatched it away, and said coldly, "You cook the rest of the dishes. I'm going to buy meat now. Come back and cook it quickly, or you'll mess things up again."
Lu Qing nodded hurriedly, and immediately closed the kitchen door after Qin Hai left.
It was still an exceptionally hot and humid May day. She was soaked in sweat, but dared not open the door.
She sat by the door, feeling somewhat exhausted, and made up her mind to go out and sell things before Qin Hai got up the next day.
She could raise enough money for her trip home by selling just one bag; she didn't want to spend another day in the same room with Qin Hai.
After resting for a while, she quickly got up and continued cooking. After finishing four dishes and a soup, she was so tired that her hands were shaking.
But Qin Hai had no intention of inviting her to dinner. Instead, he invited a few friends to sit down and eat and drink together.
Lu Qing went back to the kitchen, closed the door, and ate a steamed bun with pickled vegetables, finding it tasteless.
She didn't want to live like this for even a second longer.
She stayed in the kitchen for a long time because the group of people outside wouldn't leave and were making a lot of noise.
It wasn't until almost 2 a.m. that things calmed down outside.
She quietly went out and found them all asleep, lying haphazardly in the living room.
She returned to the master bedroom, closed the door, and as usual blocked it with the bedside table. She sat on the bedside table and breathed a sigh of relief.
Lu Yang and Yao Lili are currently installing a TV in their newly purchased house. The house is very close to the school and is in the same neighborhood as the house he lent to Lin Hongshan.
After setting up the TV, the two of them weren't in a hurry to go to sleep. Since the next day was the weekend, they sat in front of the TV and watched "Journey to the West".
Yao Lili especially loved watching TV. In her previous life, they didn't have money to buy a color TV, so Yao Lili would often take some time to go to the mall and watch TV for a while.
In this life, Lu Yang bought a television early on, so they could watch it anytime.
Sitting at home, drinking ice-cold beer, eating cooked food, cracking sunflower seeds, and watching TV, with a fan blowing beside him, this was a life he never dared to dream of in his previous life.
Yao Lili watched with a big smile, grinning foolishly, her eyes filled with happiness.
She nudged Lu Yang with her elbow and said, "You're the one who revealed all of Lu Qing's expenses in the provincial capital, aren't you?"
Lu Yang shook his head: "I only provided part of the evidence; most of the evidence and clues were found by others."
Yao Lili was somewhat surprised and whispered, "Lu Qing seems to have disappeared. Do you think she's hiding?"
A cold glint flashed in Lu Yang's eyes: "If she doesn't hide, things will be better. If she does hide, she'll only be more unlucky."
