Chapter 49 Just Call Me Xiao Ji
After Shen Wangshu beat up the wretched man who had just tried to hit on her, he quickly fled the scene.
She originally thought that she was going out on a date with Chen Ting alone today, and she didn't bring any maidservants or secret guards with her. But that guy actually left halfway, leaving her alone!
Shen Wangshu knew very well that it was too dangerous for a weak girl like her to walk alone on the road. If the man recovered and chased her to hurt her, it would be bad. So she better run away quickly.
There was no one on the street now, so he didn't have to worry about his image. Shen Wangshu ran two blocks before stopping. As soon as he stopped, he heard a panting sound coming from behind him... Judging from the footsteps, it seemed that it was not just one person!
Shen Wangshu cursed inwardly, wondering why the drug wore off so quickly and why the man ran so fast. As she lifted her skirt and prepared to continue running away, she heard the man behind her say, "Madam, please stay! Madam... please stay!"
Shen Wangshu looked at them warily - they were two servants dressed as waiters wearing headscarves, with their sleeves rolled up to their elbows, panting and holding their knees to slow down. The one with better physical strength shouted, "Don't be afraid, Madam. We are the waiters of Furong Tower."
Furonglou, it seems that they are not in the same group as the man just now, but she still did not let down her guard, and the powder in her sleeve was always ready: "What do you want from me?"
Seeing that she finally stopped running, the two waiters said respectfully, "It's our shopkeeper who wants to see you. You should know that our shopkeeper's surname is Ji."
Shen Wangshu reacted. She had talked to Carpenter Li about the soap before, but because of Gu Ziliang, she had not gone to find Ji Mingyi. It seemed that he could not hold back.
"Besides that, our shopkeeper just saw that the lady was in trouble. Even if we don't discuss business, please come up and change your clothes and have a cup of hot tea to warm yourself up."
The two servants' eyes didn't wander around, they kept their heads down respectfully, they looked very well trained, and their attitudes were so good, they showed up when she needed them the most, Shen Wangshu really had no reason to refuse, so she agreed: "Then please lead the way, both of you."
Did Ji Mingyi just see her beating someone downstairs?
She was so busy running that she forgot the way. Shen Wangshu didn't go out often, and she couldn't tell where was where when it got dark. It was impossible for her to find her way back by herself.
Soon they arrived at Furong Building. From the outside, it was brightly lit. People sitting inside might be enjoying the heavy rain, drinking wine and tea comfortably - and then watching her excitement.
Shen Wangshu entered Furong Building with a stern face.
I didn't meet anyone along the way, so I must have taken the VIP channel.
It is indeed inconvenient for the general's wife to be seen in such a miserable state in front of too many people... Humph, this boy is considerate.
Shen Wangshu's evaluation of Ji Mingyi in his heart became even higher. He was indeed a wealthy man who could build such a big business. His meticulous mind was indeed beyond the reach of ordinary people.
The two servants escorted her to a good room without looking at her, then left. Several humble and pleasant maids came in - they looked young. Two of them carried hot water, one held new clothes, and another respectfully poured her hot tea.
These little girls brought the things in quietly and waited to serve her.
Shen Wangshu drank a sip of hot tea and indeed felt much warmer.
"I will help the madam take a bath." A little maid knelt in front of Shen Wangshu and wanted to help her take off her clothes and shoes.
"No need, I can do it myself." A simple ear room was separated behind the screen. After Shen Wangshu went in, he changed his wet clothes by himself. When his body was wrapped in hot water, he felt so warm that he felt like he was alive again.
In addition to clothes and towels, even the soap for bathing was one of the pieces she had given to Carpenter Li before.
Shen Wangshu took a comfortable hot bath. As soon as she put on her inner clothes, the maids who had been waiting quietly came in to help her change clothes... All the clothes and shoes were surprisingly suitable in size.
It’s terrifying when you think about it.
Shen Wangshu became wary of this Ji man again.
However, she did not show anything on her face. She just followed the maids to meet Ji Mingyi, observing the structure of Furong Tower calmly while thinking about the escape route.
Ji Mingyi was waiting for her in another box. Besides him, there was Carpenter Li whom she had met before, and the two servants who had just come to invite her.
This really effectively relieved Shen Wangshu's tension.
"Ji has met the general's wife."
The handsome young man in white smiled at her gracefully, making people feel the comfort of a spring breeze - this handsome face is really friendly to the eyes when you look at it up close. Carpenter Li next to her also greeted her with a smile.
Shen Wangshu tried to keep a straight face, showing the dignity of a general’s wife, and nodded at him calmly: “Boss Ji, Master Li.”
"Hey, madam, you are too polite. Just call me Xiao Ji." Ji Mingyi calmly observed this beauty who made Prince Bao's son desperate, and after a moment he clicked his tongue in his heart.
She had just been drenched by the rain and harassed by hooligans, but now she didn't look at all embarrassed at all. Her clear eyes were full of tenacity and calmness... Even her beautiful face became even more charming.
...No, what is he thinking? This is Chen Ting’s woman!
Ji Mingyi immediately reached out and fanned himself to wake himself up.
When he looked up, Shen Wangshu looked at him in surprise and doubt: “What are you doing?”
Ji Mingyi smiled slightly, as if the psychopath who suddenly slapped him in the face just now was not him: "Nothing, I was just confused for a moment, please don't blame me, Madam."
"Are you here to discuss business with me?" Shen Wangshu said, "I came out in a hurry today and didn't bring any new samples."
"Oh, business." Ji Mingyi said, "Business is secondary. The main thing is that I saw Madam seemed to be in some trouble upstairs just now. I wanted to help her out, but she had already escaped from the trouble wits."
He waved his hand, and immediately someone brought up a short man with his head covered and tied up.
The servant took off the hood on the man's head, and Shen Wangshu took a closer look and found that it was indeed the wretched man she had kicked just now.
"......"
She had not yet adapted to the modern way of thinking and felt that she was a little too defensive. She finally ran away, but Ji Mingyi turned around and hit her in the face.
I didn’t know what to say for a moment.
"This man is called Li Si. He hangs around in the red-light districts of this generation and often attacks young women who are alone. Although he didn't do it to the end, he has humiliated many girls from decent families. The worst case even caused one girl to commit suicide." Ji Mingyi investigated in great detail: "Many girls' families choose to keep quiet, after all, the girls' innocence is still there. But if they report it to the authorities and everyone knows about it, it will be a big deal."
"I will send the person over now and leave it to Madam to deal with."
