"That's right, it's a dry cleaning shop. What's wrong with that? Can't I open a dry cleaning shop?" Li Jia asked with a smile, looking at Chen Yi's surprised expression.
"N-nothing... I... I thought you were a martial arts master..." Chen Yi's voice clearly showed disappointment.
"Martial arts master? You have a good imagination, but it is said that all martial arts masters are bald. Those people from Shaolin Temple, look at my appearance and figure, a martial arts master? I'm more like a dancer!" After Li Jia finished speaking, the car turned the corner at the intersection. Two more streets down was Wangfu Garden.
"Fine, I keep my word. Just drop me off at the entrance of that shopping mall up ahead. I need to go shopping!" Chen Yi said, pointing to the sign of a shopping mall called Fuyuan Department Store not far ahead.
The car stopped in front of Fuyuan Department Store. Chen Yi got out of the car, leaned against the window and chuckled, "Alright, I'll patronize your business, bye-bye!" After saying that, she strode quickly into the mall.
Li Jia smiled sincerely as she watched Chen Yi's energetic back, then started the car and drove towards the blue-clad city. Meng Yao and Zhou Xiaoyu had been shopping all day and were waiting for Li Jia to come and help them carry their things.
The car quickly arrived at the entrance of the Blue Tianda Shopping Mall. After parking the car in the mall's parking lot, Li Jia walked into the mall. As soon as she entered, she saw Meng Yao and Zhou Xiaoyu in the lobby rest area on the first floor. The two of them were carrying a lot of things and looking around for Li Feng.
"Finished shopping? How was it? Looks like you've got a lot of stuff! Let's go home!" Li Jia came up to the two of them and picked up the things they had put aside.
"Brother Li, I'm so happy today! Sister Meng knows so much..." Zhou Xiaoyu's face turned a little red as she said this, and she didn't finish her sentence. However, Li Jia was not surprised. Meng Yao was obviously well-educated and had all the temperament and refinement of someone who had entered society. It would be a bit unreasonable if she didn't know much.
"Hehe, of course, Sister Meng knows a lot. Okay, let's go! Let's grab something to eat outside and then go home for a good rest." After Li Jia finished speaking, she had already picked up her things and walked out of the mall. Zhou Xiaoyu looked at Meng Yao with an embarrassed expression, and then pulled Meng Yao out of the mall together.
As soon as they arrived at the entrance, Li Jia had already driven the car over. The two of them got in, and the car slowly drove away from Blue Brilliance.
"Thank you, Li Jia." Meng Yao, sitting in the car, looked at Li Jia's back as she focused on driving and said thank you, adding the words "Li Jia" at the end. This gave Li Jia a special feeling; it seemed that Meng Yao had relaxed her guard against her or the outside world a little more.
"No need to thank me. You're my employee, and as your boss, I have to be responsible for you. Don't worry, as long as you're still my employees, I'll be there to protect you." Li Jia said this in a slightly funny tone, deliberately mimicking Brother Biao's tone. Meng Yao and Zhou Xiaoyu couldn't help but burst out laughing after hearing this.
"That's right, smile more, it's good for your health. Okay! Get out of the car, let's go eat." Li Jia parked the car in a paid parking lot on the street, then got out and opened the car door for Meng Yao and Zhou Xiaoyu. He stood beside them with a gentlemanly air, holding the top edge of the car door to prevent the two of them from bumping their heads.
"Ladies, please follow me." Li Jia said, then walked into a nearby Western restaurant. Zhou Xiaoyu and Meng Yao exchanged glances behind him. "What's Li Jia (Big Brother) up to?"
Meng Yao was surprised by Li Jia's gentlemanly behavior, while Zhou Xiaoyu noticed that Li Jia's actions were strange. With questions in mind, the two entered the Western restaurant called Green Palm. As soon as they entered, Meng Yao immediately understood the meaning behind Li Jia's actions.
Most of the people in the restaurant were foreigners. The men were all very gentlemanly, and the women were elegant and dignified. Meng Yao was no stranger to this kind of scene, so she didn't feel awkward at all. However, Zhou Xiaoyu felt uncomfortable all over. She felt disgusted by the way the people ate. In her words, "It's just a meal. Do they have to be so slow and elegant?"
Li Jia smiled and unfolded chairs for the two of them, then snapped her fingers to call over a waiter. She spoke a string of standard American English, and the waiter nodded with a smile and left.
"Brother Li! What are you doing? Eating in this shabby place? Just looking at these people makes me feel sick! I'm not eating! I'm going back to the shop to cook instant noodles myself!" Zhou Xiaoyu said and then got up and left the restaurant. Li Jia shook his head with a wry smile and got up to chase after her.
It took Li Jia a lot of effort to persuade Zhou Xiaoyu to return to the restaurant. As a result, the whole meal was rather depressing. Zhou Xiaoyu was sulking and didn't say a word, while Li Jia kept observing Meng Yao's performance. Composure, purity, elegance, and refined manners were almost perfectly embodied in Meng Yao.
When the three of them came out of the restaurant, Li Jia was carrying a takeout steak. He noticed that Zhou Xiaoyu seemed to really like the steak she was eating for the first time, even though she didn't say anything, so he ordered another one before leaving.
It was past seven o'clock when they got back to the store, and it was already dark. Zhou Xiaoyu and Meng Yao had been shopping all day, and Li Jia had also been busy all day. When they got back to the store, Zhou Xiaoyu and Meng Yao went straight into the bedroom. A little while later, Meng Yao came out of the bathroom carrying a pile of newly bought clothes.
Li Jia sat in the living room watching TV, thinking that she must be in a group with Li Xiaotong tomorrow. This little sister, who had the biggest problem, was the main person she needed to overcome. There were only two months left until the college entrance examination. If she didn't find a way to get her to study hard, even the worst university might not be able to get Li Xiaotong into.
Zhou Xiaoyu opened her door, peeked out, glanced at Li Jia sitting on the sofa, and then closed the door again. There was no more movement in the room. Inside, Zhou Xiaoyu was lying on the bed, hugging her blanket and her face was burning, lost in thought. Beside her were two newly bought bras and a short skirt, neatly arranged in the empty space on the bed.
Li Jia saw Zhou Xiaoyu's head pop out, but just as she was about to speak, the door closed again. Li Jia knew that Zhou Xiaoyu probably had something she wanted to do again, "but she seemed a little embarrassed to see me sitting on the sofa."
Stopping thinking about Zhou Xiaoyu, Li Jia focused on watching TV. About half an hour later, the sound of water in the bathroom stopped. About ten minutes later, the bathroom door opened, and Li Jia saw Meng Yao standing in the doorway. The next moment, Li Jia clearly felt her throat start to go dry, and her penis was about to rise excitedly. Startled, Li Jia quickly spread her legs and pressed her penis under her thighs to avoid embarrassment.
Meng Yao walked gracefully up to Li Jia, then stretched out her arms and twirled around. "Does it look good?"
