On the evening of June 5th, Li Xiaotong received a lot of care and encouragement from many people. At Li Xiaotong's home, Hai Mingyue, Li Jia, and even Jiang Ling, who had gone to M City with the team to handle the case, all rushed back early to cheer her on.
After everyone left, Li Jia made a decision that excited Li Xiaotong: after the college entrance examination, Li Jia would take Li Xiaotong bungee jumping in Wushan. This gave Li Xiaotong's prickly personality a direct boost of excitement, and he was so excited that he almost couldn't sleep all night.
Seeing that Li Xiaotong showed no signs of sleepiness, Li Jia couldn't help but smile wryly. "How can she do well on the exam tomorrow?" she muttered to herself. She reached out and gently pressed Li Xiaotong's ear, which finally made Li Xiaotong close her eyes and fall asleep.
"Xiaoqing, I'm going back now. You guys get some rest. I'll pick up Xiaotong tomorrow to take her exam!" Li Jia said goodbye to Li Xiaoqing, carried Li Xiaotong into the bedroom, turned around and quietly went out, closed the door, went downstairs and got into her car.
Sitting in the car, Li Jia lit a cigarette, took a deep breath, and his long-dormant excitement began to stir slightly. Li Xiaotong was about to take the college entrance examination, and as his older brother and a parent, he held high hopes and deep concern for Li Xiaotong's exam. "Go for it, Xiaotong! Tomorrow is the day to prove yourself! Don't let your older brother down."
After finishing his cigarette, Li Feng flicked the butt out the window, started the car, and drove out of Tianxiang Garden. For a moment, he didn't want to go back to rest. He stopped the car and thought about it for a while. Li Jia decided to go to a bar. It had been a long time since he had been to a bar to experience that kind of atmosphere. He turned the car around and drove the Passat around Jinghua District in B City. Finally, he stopped in front of a bar called Green Palm Tree.
Stepping into the exoticly decorated bar, Li Jia headed straight to a booth in the main hall, listening to the band playing on stage, and ordered a refreshing iced cocktail. She completely relaxed into the deep sofa, slowly reducing the volume of her drink. The atmosphere in the bar was remarkably quiet. Even the band played soft, gentle tunes. Li Jia squinted as she looked around.
The sofas in the lobby all have a very unique design and are very low, but they are quite deep, so you can sit completely inside them, which is very comfortable.
Li Jia stayed at the bar until 12:30 before finally heading home to rest. While the bar had a nice ambiance, it wasn't a good place for hunting. This particular bar was a relatively authentic, unique establishment, and Li Feng had unintentionally discovered a good spot. From then on, Li Jia frequently came here for a drink, eventually becoming quite friendly with the owner, and some unexpected things even happened.
As soon as Li Jia stepped out of the bar, she saw four people standing next to her car. Three men and one woman. The man was Zhang Xiaogang, the playboy she'd met at the teahouse not long ago. The woman was nestled in his arms, her hands around his neck. The other two were clearly like him, two idle playboys. "Uh? Isn't this that pretty boy? Why isn't he with that slut? Coming here to a bar all by himself? Oh? I know, she dumped you, right? Haha! I knew it. Want me to lend you this to cool off?" Zhang Xiaogang said, giving the woman in his arms a hard squeeze on the buttocks.
The woman, stung by Zhang Xiaogang's words, playfully pecked him on the cheek with her bright red lips, leaving a clear mark. "Young Master Zhang, what are you talking about? I only like men like you. I have no interest in those pretty boys." She then gave Li Jia a disgusted look. Actually, Zhang Xiaogang looked far more like a pretty boy than Li Jia; his pale face was clearly from excessive drinking, and the smell of alcohol could be detected from several meters away.
Li Jia ignored Zhang Xiaogang, walked straight to her car, opened the door, got in, and started the engine. "Stop right there! Didn't you hear me talking to you? If you've got the guts, drive over here!" Zhang Xiaogang stood about five meters in front of Li Jia's car, pointing at his mouth and shouting loudly.
"Hehe, okay!" Li Jia replied casually. The car engine roared, and the Passat suddenly roared towards Zhang Xiaogang.
"Ah!" With Zhang Xiaogang's terrified scream, Li Jia swerved the steering wheel, narrowly missing Zhang Xiaogang's thigh as the car sped into the road. Zhang Xiaogang, who had initially thought Li Jia wouldn't dare hit him, was stunned by the car's sudden acceleration. His mind went blank. He watched helplessly as the car hurtled towards him, and instantly, he sobered up completely. Sweat beaded on his forehead.
After Li Jia drove past him, he collapsed to the ground. After confirming that he was alright, he realized that he was soaked through, as if he had just crawled out of the water.
"That madman! I'll make you pay sooner or later!" He spat out a harsh word, put an arm around the shoulder of the woman who had been standing next to him, and walked into the Green Palm Bar with his legs feeling a little weak. The female owner of the bar was the target he had been pursuing for a long time but had not been able to win over.
As Li Jia drove, thinking about Zhang Xiaogang's behavior earlier, she couldn't help but laugh. She had formed a preliminary impression of Zhang Xiaogang. "If he doesn't come looking for trouble again, then I'll just ignore him. But if he still likes to bring roses on Friday afternoons, then I'll have to come up with something. It's been a long time since I've used any tricks. I wonder if my brain can still come up with anything?"
Recently, Li Jia has been spending more time with her family and hasn't resorted to violence to resolve anything for a long time. Sometimes, outsmarting someone can be quite challenging.
When they returned to the store, Meng Yao and Zhou Xiaoyu were still watching TV in the living room. When Zhou Xiaoyu saw Li Jia return, she immediately dozed off and went into the bedroom. Meng Yao smiled and patted the sofa in the living room, saying, "Come sit with me after you take a shower. I want to chat with you for a while."
