It's about seven or eight kilometers to the nearest pet hospital from here. At this time of day, during rush hour, traffic is heavy, so the journey takes much longer than usual.
Chitose kept checking the time, afraid that if she was late, the little dog wouldn't make it.
Luo Xinyue was even more anxious. Besides being afraid that the puppy wouldn't be able to hold on, her anxiety also stemmed from Ling Shen.
Good heavens, she was sitting in the same car as Ling Shen.
Luo Xinyue felt like she was sitting on pins and needles, wishing she could disappear into thin air.
Luo Xinyue tried her best to make herself inconspicuous, but the driver beside her, adhering to the professional principles of the service industry, noticed that something was wrong with Luo Xinyue.
He turned around with exceptional politeness and asked, "Miss, is there anything I can help you with?"
Luo Xinyue's expression froze on her face, and she cried out in her heart: I'm fine, I don't need help, please don't bother me!
Although that's what I was thinking, I still put on a professional smile and politely replied, "I'm fine, you can just drive your car with peace of mind."
Although Qian Sui was worried about the puppy in her arms, upon hearing that something was wrong with Luo Xinyue, she still looked up and leaned over to ask, "Xinyue, what's wrong?"
Luo Xinyue straightened her back instantly. She could pretend not to see Ling Shen when she was sitting in the passenger seat and talking to the driver, but now that Qian Sui was talking to her in the back seat, Luo Xinyue had no choice but to turn around.
Luo Xinyue adjusted her expression, turned back to look at Qian Sui, and comforted Qian Sui, who was already nervous because of the puppy, and made an excuse: "I'm fine, it's just that it's my first time riding in this kind of car, and I'm not used to it."
Chisui gave an "oh" and glanced at Luo Xinyue's chair.
Since Qian Sui didn't speak, Luo Xinyue wanted to turn her head away, but as she did so, her gaze unconsciously drifted to Ling Shen.
Ling Shen sat behind the driver in the dimly lit car. He was tall, and the upper half of his face was hidden in the darkness, only revealing the lower half of his delicate and aloof face.
When Luo Xinyue glanced over, she saw Ling Shen's handsome thin lips slightly curved up. In the darkness, Ling Shen slightly raised his eyes to look at Luo Xinyue.
Ling Shen said, "Principal Luo's family are all scholars, and they are usually frugal. My car smells of money. As Principal Luo's daughter, it's understandable that junior Luo Xinyue is not used to riding in my car."
Although the words were meant to praise Luo Xinyue's home, if they came from someone else, Luo Xinyue would have thought it was a compliment. But coming from Ling Shen, Luo Xinyue found it rather strange.
Luo Xinyue forced a smile and replied, "Senior Ling Shen is joking. It's just a matter of my own habits. I strained my back while exercising before, which is why I can't sit properly."
To deal with Ling Shen's question, Luo Xinyue told a lie.
After Luo Xinyue finished speaking, Ling Shen remained noncommittal.
Ling Shen stopped talking, and the car returned to calm once again.
Luo Xinyue finally breathed a sigh of relief and sat up straight again.
A short while later, the driver brought the car to the entrance of the pet hospital. Qian Sui picked up the puppy and rushed inside, while Luo Xinyue also ran out of the car.
Just as she was about to run forward, she suddenly remembered something, stopped, and said to Ling Shen, "Thank you, Senior Ling Shen."
After she finished speaking, she ran into the hospital.
She felt that Ling Shen would not follow her anymore.
After all, in everyone's impression, Ling Shen is a very busy person who doesn't even have time to attend school classes.
Although Qian Sui knew him, it was already very kind of him to bring them to the hospital. Luo Xinyue didn't dare to imagine that Ling Shen would accompany them inside.
Ling Shen nodded slightly, acknowledging Luo Xinyue's gratitude.
Ling Shen sat in the back seat, watching Qian Sui and Luo Xinyue run into the hospital, before turning to the driver and saying, "Help me find out something."
......
At the pet hospital, Luo Xinyue and Qian Sui registered the puppy. The puppy was seriously injured, and there were no other pets being treated at the moment, so as soon as they entered, a doctor came to see them.
The puppy was being treated inside, while Qian Sui and Luo Xinyue sat outside waiting.
Qian Sui stood outside anxiously, pacing back and forth at the door, glancing inside every now and then.
Luo Xinyue was also anxious, but she remained calm. Seeing Qian Sui pacing back and forth, she said, "Qian Sui, sit down. There's no use in being anxious."
Qian Sui remained standing. She glanced at the doorway, then turned to look at Luo Xinyue and said, "I saw it at the night market just now. It was injured and was kicked by a bad guy, which made it even more bad."
The night market is quite a distance from where Luo Xinyue found Qian Sui earlier. If it weren't for the fact that it involves going through that dark alley and taking a long detour, Qian Sui wouldn't have been able to get there by herself.
Luo Xinyue asked, "Then how did you find that way? Did you go through that dark alley?"
Although Luo Xinyue had never been to that dark alley, she had heard about it back in high school. Many of her classmates had been extorted there, and she had long been traumatized by it.
Qian Sui has a beautiful but non-threatening face. When she stands in that alley, her face says: I'm rich and easy to bully.
If she really went into that alley, the consequences would be unimaginable.
When Qian Sui heard Luo Xinyue ask, she said, "Yes, the puppy ran into that alley, so I followed it in. There were a lot of strange people inside. Also, some of them lied to me, saying that the puppy ran in another direction, so I went to look for it, but I couldn't find it."
Chitose really went into that alley!
Luo Xinyue was startled, then suddenly remembered something and asked, "Where's your money?"
When Qian Sui came out today, she told Luo Xinyue that she had brought money, but Luo Xinyue was still reluctant to let Qian Sui spend it, so Qian Sui should still have a lot of money left.
If Chitose really goes into that alley, he'll probably have all his money taken.
As Luo Xinyue expected, upon hearing her question, Qian Sui replied, "It was taken away."
Luo Xinyue sighed and rubbed her forehead in exasperation: "I knew it."
The moment this matter was mentioned, the emperor's anger flared up.
She put her hands on her hips and said angrily, "I get angry just thinking about it. Those people took all the money from my wallet and lied to me, saying that the puppy went in another direction. I looked for it for a long time but couldn't find it, so I ran back to ask them, and then..."
Luo Xinyue quickly asked, "What was the result?"
Qian Sui said, "In the end, those people still wanted to hit me."
Luo Xinyue guessed that Qian Sui would be blackmailed or harassed, but she didn't expect those people to be so shameless as to actually lay a hand on Qian Sui.
Luo Xinyue was furious. She was so angry that she wanted to roll up her sleeves and stand up.
Just as she was about to get angry, she saw Ling Shen walk in from the door.
Ling Shen was wearing a black shirt with a suit jacket draped over his wrists. Qian Sui had her back to him, so his gaze fell on her.
As soon as he appeared, all the young girls in the pet hospital secretly glanced at him.
Ling Shen walked up to Qian Sui, reached out and rubbed Qian Sui's head to soothe the cat who was acting like a ruffled kitten.
What else did they do to you?
Ling Shen asked.
