Chapter 410: Fool, tell me about your childhood
"What did your father and Lin Zhou's father mean by what they just said?"
On the main street of the scenic area, Zhang Shuai angrily chased after Li Jing who was walking very fast in front of him and asked.
Li Jing herself felt guilty and didn't dare to respond. She just kept walking. The two of them walked to the edge of the artificial lake.
After the conversation just now ended, Tian Xin said she wanted to talk to her two uncles alone, so she drove them out.
Li Jing knew that Zhang Shuai was angry, so no matter how angry Zhang Shuai was at her, she would not talk back and let him scold her.
"Come, sit down, enjoy the night view, and calm down. Don't be so anxious and angry all the time."
While pulling Zhang Shuai to sit down, Li Jing bought a drink from a small shop nearby. Li Jing thoughtfully opened the bottle for Zhang Shuai and placed it in front of him, then raised her own cup and handed it to him: "Come on, let's have a toast. Just consider it my apology. I'm sorry."
Zhang Shuai ignored her, and without even reaching for the drink, he asked, "Li Jing, do families like yours never treat ordinary people as human beings? Just because you have a little money, you think you have control over other people's lives and can do whatever you want with them?"
"What do you mean?" Li Jing exploded.
"Even if my dad said something he shouldn't have just said, I've already apologized to you. What else do you want?"
"What do I want? What else can I do?" Zhang Shuai also got angry and stood up and yelled at Li Jing.
"Tian Xin doesn't care, why are you yelling at me?"
"How come you don't know she doesn't care? Have you ever thought about what she'll do if they threaten her with her job?"
“…”
Li Jing stopped talking.
"Has it been easy for her to get to this point?" Zhang Shuai began to question Li Jing. "You've known her for a long time, and you know exactly how she got here. But you didn't dare to say a word in front of your dad just now. What's wrong? Are you speechless? Are you afraid?"
"Yes, I just don't dare." Li Jing nodded, her eyes quickly dimming. "You're right, in our family, the old man has the final say. Everything else is fine, but when it comes to company matters, his word is final. If I talk back to him now, he'll have a good excuse to find a man to marry me off. What can I do?"
"Then you'll let the boss fight them?"
"Don't you know how we got out? Did I let you out? What do you mean I let them fight?"
Upon hearing this, Zhang Shuai turned around and left without saying a word.
"where did you go?"
Zhang Shuai ignored her calls from behind and quickened his pace.
"If you go back now, you will be scolded." Li Jing shouted behind him.
Zhang Shuai still ignored him.
When she had walked about 50 meters, Zhang Shuai felt her collar tighten, and then one of her arms was twisted and she was forced to turn around.
He was startled, thinking he had run into some thug, and just as he was about to clench his fists and prepare to fight, he saw it was Li Jing.
"You..." He stuttered and suddenly ran out of words. After a long pause, he finally replied, "Where do you get so much strength?"
Li Jing couldn't help laughing: "What's the matter, are you scared? I'm the city-level Sanda champion. It's a piece of cake for me to deal with you."
Her eyes were full of disdain, and Zhang Shuai was instantly enraged again: "What did you say?"
Li Jing didn't want to argue anymore and immediately admitted her mistake: "Oh, okay, okay, I was wrong, I was wrong. I'm sorry."
That's about right.
Zhang Shuai's anger subsided and he turned back and continued walking.
Li Jing didn't chase him this time. Instead, she called out to him from behind, "Fool, you have to trust her. Since she let us out, she must have a trick up her sleeve. But if you just barge in like this, you might just mess up her plans."
“…”
Zhang Shuai was stunned and stood still.
She is right.
Given the boss's temper, he wouldn't let him leave without certainty. If he went there rashly, and if he disrupted her like Li Jing said, then it would be troublesome.
Thinking of this, he turned around and returned to the artificial lake where he had just sat.
Li Jing also followed.
"Silly boy, you are always so reckless. No wonder Tian Xin looks down on you."
"Shut up." Zhang Shuai was annoyed, and even more annoyed after hearing these words. He simply picked up the drink in front of him and took a sip.
Seeing this, Li Jing quickly bought him another cup and tried to replace the one he had. "It's been a while since we last had this drink. You can't drink this anymore."
"Why can't I drink it? I haven't even had a single sip."
"You can't drink after someone leaves, right? What if someone else has already drunk it? Didn't your mother teach you that?"
Damn, you dead mouth, what are you talking about?
As soon as Li Jing said this, she realized she had made a mistake. Seeing the vicious look Zhang Shuai gave her, she immediately changed her tone: "No... that's not what I meant. I meant, this..." She handed the newly bought drink to Zhang Shuai: "Drink this, that one is not clean."
"No one taught me this," Zhang Shuai replied. "I've lived alone since I was a child. When I was hungry, I even picked up other people's leftovers. I don't have to be so particular."
He said this calmly, with no expression on his face.
But Li Jing was different. Her heart suddenly became tangled and hurt a lot.
She didn't know Zhang Shuai's past. She only knew that he was uneducated, had few relatives, had a wealthy mother whom she met halfway, and was a reckless person.
This guy is handsome and has a bad temper, which is exactly what she likes.
But as soon as these words came out, she immediately understood why Zhang Shuai was so dependent on Tian Xin.
"I was wrong just now. I apologize." Li Jing said sincerely, "But you really can't drink this. Remember, I taught you a lesson today. Don't make the same mistake again."
"Do I need your teaching?"
Zhang Shuai said this, but his actions were honest. The next second, he took the cup from Li Jing's hand and threw away the original one.
"That's right!" Li Jing smiled.
Tian Xin never came over and never called them.
The two of them sat by the lake and waited.
This is the time when the night view is at its most beautiful. The breeze blows by the lake, and many river lanterns float along the lake, which is particularly beautiful.
Li Jing tightened her windbreaker, folded her arms and stared at the lake in a daze.
"Is it cold?" Zhang Shuai asked.
Li Jing was stunned for a moment: "Huh?"
She said it with the second tone, expressing doubt.
But when it reached Zhang Shuai's ears, it turned into four tones, indicating affirmation.
So, he naturally took off his coat and put it on her.
The whole process is silky and natural, without any fake ingredients.
Li Jing was a little surprised and asked him, "What are you doing?"
"Aren't you cold? What's wrong? Are you disgusted?"
"No, no," Li Jing denied. "It's not that I dislike you, it's...thank you!"
Although she was surprised that he knew how to be gentle with women, Li Jing was still very happy that the woman he was "cherishing" was herself.
"Hey, idiot, tell me about your childhood."
"What's there to say?" Zhang Shuai refused. "It's all old news. I've forgotten it all."
"Tell me about it, I want to hear it."
