She was even too lazy to think about it again. Lin Yaqin's heavy makeup couldn't cover up her haggard face. She felt that figure was dirty if it stayed in her mind for one more second.
Li Jianghai, who was standing next to him, seemed to still be a little frightened and couldn't help but want to look back at the deep alley again.
"What are you looking at?" Li Guifang said in a cheerful tone, even with a hint of smile, she reached out and pulled him.
Without pausing for a moment, he walked straight towards the bustling traffic on the wide road ahead. "What's so interesting about that kind of dirty place? Let's go!"
There was no sympathy or pity in her voice, only complete, almost cruel indifference.
To her, the shocking scene just now was not so much an encounter as it was an insignificant street scene that she casually caught a glimpse of in this bizarre city of Dajing.
It's just a casual negative shot in her success story to highlight how right and superior she is now.
Li Guifang and Li Jianghai chatted and laughed and returned to the small hotel.
"Hey, that just now, really... scared me." Li Jianghai was still frightened and lowered his voice, "How can there be such a place in Beijing?"
Li Guifang had completely withdrawn from the previous episode. She weighed the key in her hand and said in a light tone with a hint of disdain: "Where are there not a few sewers?
That kind of dirty thing of hers has nothing to do with us! It's unlucky to look at it, so just forget about it!"
The carefree and nonchalant tone in her voice infected Li Jianghai, and he also smiled. Indeed, what does it have to do with them? They have nothing to do with each other for a long time!
The two of them walked up the creaking wooden stairs, discussing where to go shopping tomorrow and whether to buy some Beijing specialties to take back.
The uncomfortable scene in the alley just now seemed to be blown away by the wind at the corner of the stairs, becoming an insignificant background board.
They didn't notice at all.
Behind them, under the small street light opposite the hotel, a "little tail" wearing a bright red miniskirt was parked.
She stared at the hotel glass door that was swinging but not yet completely closed.
The nails dug deep into the palm of the hand!
Not long ago, Lin Yaqin leaned against the mottled wall, the cigarette between her fingertips was about to burn out, and the long ash was crumbling.
She stared blankly at the blurry figures coming and going at the alley entrance, her brain clouded by alcohol and fatigue.
Just then, there was a sudden commotion not far away.
She lazily raised her eyelids and saw two figures suddenly stop as if they were scalded.
The man even poked the person next to him in panic, and then he quickened his pace as if he had seen a ghost, pulling the man away as if he was running away.
This kind of reaction is not uncommon in this alley, and it is mostly the reaction of "serious people" who have "gone astray".
Lin Yaqin should have sneered numbly and continued smoking her cigarette.
But, at the moment when the woman's profile was illuminated by the dim streetlight at the alley entrance,
Lin Yaqin's confused eyes suddenly became clear for a moment, like a balloon punctured by a needle!
She almost felt like she was electrocuted. She stood up straight, not even noticing the shaky cigarette ash falling to the ground.
That face...? !
How is this possible? How could this happen?!
She blinked hard, suspecting that she was dazzled or that the dim light was causing an illusion.
Li Guifang?!
The ex-mother-in-law whom she once despised, disliked, and looked down upon, calling her a "country bumpkin" and an "old witch"?!
Why was she in Beijing?! Shouldn't she be in that remote little place, taking care of her worthless sons?!
A stinging pain, sharper than being humiliated by a customer or scolded by a brothel owner, suddenly pierced her heart! Shame, jealousy, resentment, and an indescribable panic instantly engulfed her.
She followed him almost subconsciously, as if possessed by some mysterious force.
Her high heels made quick and slight tapping sounds as they stepped on the dirty ground, making her look more like a rat that was afraid to be seen in the light!
She hid in the shadows of the street corner and watched as Li Guifang and Li Jianghai did not walk towards the busy street, but instead slipped into a clean and brightly lit "small hotel" not far from the alley entrance.
Her nails dug deep into the soft flesh of her palm, leaving behind several crescent-shaped, white, and bloody marks, but she didn't feel any pain at all.
A burning emotion, like boiling asphalt, wrapped in extreme jealousy and unspeakable despair, rolled and roared in her chest!
Why?
Why?!
How could this old witch, Li Guifang, be so glamorous and beautiful, while Lin Yaqin could only be like a rat in the gutter, being pushed, beaten and scolded, with no light in sight forever?
This extreme psychological distortion almost made her scream!
At this moment, a gust of cold night wind made her shiver, and the brief madness was suddenly replaced by greater fear!
