Lin Xiaoya's view was blocked by Gu Huainan's tall figure, so she couldn't see the owner of the voice.
But she saw hope.
As long as someone intervenes, she will have a chance to defend herself.
Just as she was overjoyed, the man suddenly changed the subject, saying, "Sir, you've lost your keys."
Lin Xiaoya felt as if she had fallen into an ice cave.
It seems that Lu Yi and Liang Shiyue didn't notice this side, after all, this restaurant is very large, with two floors and many partitions in the middle of each floor.
It's all my fault for being careless; I shouldn't have relied on others.
Snap!
The next second, before she could even see what was happening, Gu Huainan crashed headfirst out the door, tumbling several times down the steps before finally stopping.
But she herself was dragged into the restaurant.
"Xiaoya, it really is you!"
Liang Shiyue cupped her face in her hands, happily rubbing and pinching it.
Lin Xiaoya looked the two of them over several times, and finally burst into tears, "Xiaoyue, thank goodness you were here, otherwise I... I..."
Gu Huainan was caught off guard by the push and landed face-first on the ground, sustaining a bruise.
But I was also incredibly guilty.
As he got up from the ground, he saw Lu Yi's narrowed eyes and knew that his lie had been exposed.
This kid made him lose face so much, he wasn't about to let it go, so he clenched his fists and charged forward.
Lu Yi stood at the doorway, blocking half of it.
“I know this girl. She’s an only child. How could she have a brother like you? The fact that you abducted a girl has been captured on surveillance cameras. Why don’t we go and talk to your uncle together?”
Gu Huainan glanced at the seven or eight cameras above his head, gritted his teeth, and pointed at Lin Xiaoya, who was crying so hard she could barely breathe.
"Fine, very well! We'll see!"
Gu Huainan's father is a financial genius with more than 20 companies under his name, with a market value of no less than 100 billion.
He was born with a silver spoon in his mouth, and even if he idled away his days, it wouldn't stop him from living a life of luxury and comfort.
But he felt that the sense of superiority wasn't that strong in the circle of spoiled rich kids.
So he just randomly picked an ordinary school and drifted through life.
Watching ordinary kids rack their brains over every little thing, like getting a pair of Air Jordans or an Apple product, filled Gu Huainan with a sense of superiority. But after a while, he found it all rather dull.
However, ever since he met Lin Xiaoya, his mindset has changed without him even realizing it.
Especially when Lin Xiaoya tried to get rid of him by saying that she would consider dating him as long as he got into graduate school, Gu Huainan was like a clockwork toy, running faster than anyone else.
He's here today to get results.
But in the end, he was kicked hard in the butt, making him lose face.
Finding out this person's identity would be a piece of cake for him.
The restaurant didn't want to cause any trouble, and when the instigator stormed off, the manager quickly apologized to all the customers present.
The waiter specially gave Lin Xiaoya a complimentary "OK Single Meal".
He said a lot of apologies.
With her companion present, Lin Xiaoya's fear lessened considerably.
"It's not your fault. I agreed to come myself, but I didn't expect him to go so far."
The waiter, relieved that there were no further concerns, left gratefully.
Liang Shiyue gently patted Lin Xiaoya's back, her face full of worry.
"Xiaoya, if you need anything, just let me know. Lu Yi and I can go to the hospital with you. Oh, by the way, I haven't introduced him to you yet. His name is..."
"We know each other."
Lu Yi and Lin Xiaoya spoke in unison.
Liang Shiyue looked astonished, her mouth agape, at a loss for words, and suddenly felt like an outsider.
Lu Yi took her hand across the table. "Xiao Yue, we were just talking about summer jobs... Actually, I work at Senior Lin's shop."
Lin Xiaoya shifted her hips uncomfortably.
She has been chatting online with Liang Shiyue for the past two days, deliberately avoiding mentioning Lu Yi.
With both parties involved present, the situation is quite awkward.
Liang Shiyue felt a surge of sweetness in her heart. She took Lu Yi's hand in return and said with a look of delight, "Xiaoya, you actually opened a shop! The surprise you told me about, is this it?"
Lin Xiaoya, now that she had a way out, casually said, "Yes, I wanted to give you a permanent free card, but I leaked it beforehand, hehehehe!"
Lu Yi didn't feel anything special.
One is his "temporary boss," and the other is his childhood sweetheart, whom he is preparing to go to both ends. There is no conflict between the two.
He was worried about something else.
He had just taught Lu Han a lesson, offending the Lu family, and now he had provoked a thug. He didn't know which powerful figure he had offended.
Will Lin Xiaoya's situation become even worse as a result?
Although Liang Shiyue appeared happy, she felt uneasy inside.
Was it because I made the appointment with Lu Yi at the wrong time?
Did she interfere in their relationship?
Thinking of this, Liang Shiyue smiled and said, "Xiaoya, do you still remember the person I often talked about with you?"
Lin Xiaoya took a big bite of the hamburger, her cheeks bulging out.
Unsure of her purpose in asking the question, I simply nodded.
Liang Shiyue pulled Lu Yi's hand and pressed it against her cheek, "So far away, yet so close at hand, that person is Lu Yi!"
The feeling you get from figuring it out yourself is completely different from the feeling you get from hearing it with your own ears.
Lin Xiaoya choked and coughed violently, and only after drinking more than half a glass of cola could she catch her breath.
She glanced at Lu Yi and said, "Really? Xiao Yue, your wish has come true! I'm so happy for you!"
I'm happy, truly happy.
If the two of them hadn't happened to be here today...
I have no idea which hell I'm in right now, crying out to heaven and earth in vain!
But she couldn't laugh.
