How should I put it? It felt like my fists were hard, and I wanted to hit someone!
It's obvious that something's wrong with Li Ruyi's boyfriend!
Although Li Ruyi hadn't said anything yet, Yao Anna had already keenly sensed the scumbag's aura.
“No, not at all.” Li Ruyi shook her head, smiled at Yao Anna, and continued to speak to them truthfully: “Although he felt it was a pity, he did not force me to make a decision.”
But ever since that day, I don't know what happened, I started having trouble sleeping. Even when I did sleep, I was plagued by nightmares and couldn't find peace.
Because of poor rest, my mental state is getting worse and worse.
My boyfriend, Qi Song, then offered to help me manage the workshop.
At first, I didn't think much of it, but then he started discussing with me about wanting to partner with their family's cake shop to launch a new brand.
I did not agree.
The reason isn't because I don't trust him. Rather, this traditional flower cake shop is a business our Li family has built up over generations. If we were to partner with their bakery, wouldn't our workshop cease to exist?!
Qi Song was somewhat unhappy after that.
Later, my health deteriorated, and Qi Song and his Japanese friend started coming to my workshop frequently, supposedly to help out. But in reality, Qi Song was always in my office, as if he was looking for something.
Although Qi Song kept saying that I was hallucinating because I wasn't getting enough rest and was in poor spirits, I always felt that those things weren't fake, but real!
I don't know what Qi Song and the others are planning, but my gut feeling tells me it's probably not something good.
So I refused to let Qi Song and his friends come to my flower shop again, and even broke up with him. At first, Qi Song came to my door every day to apologize and coax me, trying to make me stop being angry.
But the more I thought about it, the more something seemed wrong. Later, when I checked the office, I found that the safe containing the formulas and important documents had also been pried open.
Although it wasn't pried open, the marks were undeniable.
I thought of our past relationship and didn't confront him. But unexpectedly, Qi Song suddenly seemed like a different person, calling me every day, going from pleading to threatening, even becoming hysterical...
I... I really can't hold on much longer!
At this point, Li Ruyi couldn't help but raise her hand to cover her cheek, tears welling up in her eyes: "I have nightmares every night, the scene of my parents' tragic death plays out in front of me almost every day, I, I..."
"Don't be afraid. Starting today, you won't have nightmares anymore." Song Mengmeng gently interrupted Li Ruyi's murmur. She reached out and patted Li Ruyi's shoulder reassuringly, and whispered to comfort her, "You protected your Pixiu, so you will naturally be protected by it; and those who desecrate the Pixiu will naturally receive their due retribution."
“You’re talking about Pixiu…” Li Ruyi was slightly taken aback. Song Mengmeng’s words sounded a bit strange and mystical, but Li Ruyi felt that everything she said was true.
Her grandfather always said that the Pixiu in her family was spiritual and could protect the descendants of the Li family. As long as the people of the Li family did not do evil, they would definitely be able to live a peaceful and prosperous life under the protection of the Pixiu.
