Chapter 55: Long Qi vs. Erba, Lin Xingmian Seeks Revenge for Her Sister...
"Don't frown, this is a fantastic thing for you!"
"Good news?"
"Of course!" Shang Qi smiled mysteriously. "The supermarket owner you like, she broke up with that Japanese male technician."
"Japanese male masseur" was a nickname Shang Qi gave to Shen Siqing because he felt that Shen Siqing's smile resembled the fawning expression of a male masseur in a Japanese movie trying to please a rich woman.
The worry between Lin Xingmian's brows vanished instantly, and she raised an eyebrow: "Really?"
"It's absolutely true! Why? Because her boyfriend...cheated on her!"
"What did you say?" He frowned again. "Chen Siqing cheated on you?"
Shang Qi gesticulated wildly as he reenacted the version of the story circulating among the people for Lin Xingmian, which made Xingmian's face darken and fall silent.
After school in the afternoon, having not taken the same route home for a long time, he stepped on the locust leaves and strolled to the locust tree across the street, gazing at the people on the other side from afar.
She sat in her little room, her hair neatly combed, her clothes clean, and her eyes not red. She sat very properly, like a cashier diligently going to work, but not like his sister.
Her lips were expressionless, her eyes were lifeless. To an ordinary customer, there was no difference between Boss Xu and usual. But Xingmian could see the soul inside her tough exterior, huddled up in a ball, trembling and sobbing helplessly.
The boy clenched his fists.
.
One week later.
Xiaomeng, Aunt Wang, and Bohe, a trio, held an important progress meeting at Bohe Restaurant.
Aunt Wang: "I listened to Xiaomeng and asked many of my relatives and friends to post and discuss this matter. My daughter and son also asked their classmates for help. And you know what, online public opinion is really powerful, much faster than we imagined!"
Xiaomeng: "Of course, because people are very sensitive to this kind of betrayal in love, and it easily attracts attention."
Mint: "I'm doing the same thing on my end. I contacted my sister-in-law, who works at a company and is highly educated. She said she's already called and reported that Shen, and sent the evidence. We're just waiting for verification. If the evidence is true, then Shen will definitely lose his job!"
Xiaomeng: "The Shen family probably doesn't know that you were the ones who reported it, right? Isn't Brother Long on good terms with Shen Siqing's father?"
Mint: "Sigh, they used to come to our restaurant often. We wouldn't say we had a great relationship, but it certainly wasn't as good as ours. Besides, that guy surnamed Chen was such a good actor. Who would have known he was actually that kind of person?"
Aunt Wang: "Since everything is going smoothly, let's go and talk to Ayu together now. She saw this online last time and was puzzled, asking me how it could have been leaked, especially since it was from her shop's surveillance footage! I didn't explain it to her in detail at the time, I just said I would tell her in a few days."
Xiaomeng: "Okay, let's go to Tiantian. We took the liberty of making this decision, so we just hope Ayu won't blame us."
The three of them arrived at the entrance of Tiantianlai, their expressions serious.
When Ah Yu saw the three of them, she invited them into the shop to sit down.
The three people each had their own aggressive demeanor.
Aunt Wang stood with her hands on her hips, exuding righteousness; Mint crossed her arms, radiating unwavering determination; Xiao Meng stroked her chin, carefully considering where to begin her story.
Mr. Xu stared blankly at the three men with strange expressions and asked, "I... I've accidentally offended all three of you recently?"
Aunt Wang: "Ayu, we have something very important to tell you."
Mint: "That's right! We have something important to tell you!"
After they finished speaking, they fell silent and both turned their gazes to Xiaomeng.
Xiaomeng received their signal and organized her thoughts: "Ayu—"
Unfortunately, they had only uttered two words when a boy with a flushed face suddenly ran out from the outside, shoving past the three of them and rushing to the back of the cashier, dragging Mr. Xu out of his seat!
Xu Zhiyu was dumbfounded; her soul was still in the chair while her body was being pulled to the store entrance by the boy.
Shang Qi was covered in sweat and breathing heavily.
"Something terrible has happened, Sister Xu! You have to go and see!! Lin Xingmian has almost killed a Japanese soldier!! More than twenty of us brothers couldn't stop him!!"
The name "Lin Xingmian" made A Yu's heart tremble violently.
"W-What's wrong?" She was at a loss, confused but also worried.
The other three people present also looked at him with suspicion, pricking up their ears to hear what he would say next.
However, Shang Qi had already pulled Xu Zhiyu forward without stopping, anxiously saying, "We can't dawdle any longer. I told you on the way, the taxi is still parked at the alley entrance!"
Ayu started running nervously, and Shang Qi dragged her along, making her run faster and faster until she almost tripped several times!
Before getting into the taxi, she glanced back and suddenly realized that her soul, which had been missing for many days, had finally returned home.
On the way to Xicheng, Shang Qi explained the whole story to Xu Zhiyu.
It turned out that Xingmian had learned about the recent hot topics about Boss Xu. He was furious, so he asked the school for a week of sick leave to investigate Shen's residence. After finding out the details, he began to stake out the place every day.
Today is Friday again. He made an appointment with some of his buddies at school to meet at Phoenix Street in Xicheng after school so they could catch that guy surnamed Chen and teach him a lesson!
He actually gathered about twenty people just to ambush Chen Siqing!
That's not even the most outrageous part!
The most outrageous thing is that the twenty-odd boys he invited to beat up Shen Siqing all ended up breaking up the fight.
Shang Qi said that Lin Xingmian had lost her mind and was like a madman, pinning Shen Siqing to the ground and beating her until she was covered in blood!
He said he would beat up anyone who pulled him; he was very strong, and all his brothers took his punches and kicks.
He said Xingmian was like a different person this semester, studying all day long and ignoring everyone.
He also mentioned that business was slow when he came every day, so he paid his classmates to go to the supermarket to buy things...
"As Lin Xingmian's good friend, I'm an outsider and it's not my place to interfere in your affairs. But seeing him like this really hurts me. Xingmian is a loyal and affectionate person. After Sister Xu got a boyfriend, she stopped contacting him. I think you're quite heartless. I don't know what to say for him. It's better to wait for him to tell you himself. But the only thing I'm sure of is that he must miss you a lot."
This was what Shang Qi said to her last as they were almost there.
It can only be described as a wake-up call.
