Xia Baozhu put the gun back, turned off the lights, locked the door, and went back inside.
This time, she has completely offended Chen Shanlou, and given his shameless nature, he will definitely not let her off easily.
Xia Baozhu did not regret refusing Chen Shanlou, but she was worried that Chen Shanlou would retaliate indiscriminately and involve other people.
Despite being upset, Xia Baozhu still managed to write back to the reader who wrote to her.
Without writing any articles, Xia Baozhu went to bed after finishing a set of yoga poses.
The thought of being looked down upon by Chen Shanlou made her furious, and she wished she could slap him a few more times to teach him a lesson for his foul mouth.
The fact that he looks down on her but still marries her proves that Chen Shanlou's bones are even more despicable.
Is the meaning of her life simply to get married, have children, and take care of her family?
She supports herself, provides job opportunities for others, and writes stories to bring joy to others. Doesn't all of this have meaning? Why insist on focusing on her infertility and divorce?
Xia Baozhu became increasingly angry, so she decided not to sleep.
She wore a long black coat and walked out of the house with her hair disheveled; she was going to vent her frustrations.
After wandering around the streets with two tails following behind, Xia Baozhu walked into the alley and gave the two foul-mouthed lechers a good beating.
After the fight, she felt much better. It would have been even better if she had fought Chenshanlou.
The next morning, Sun Xingyan arrived early, which was unusual for him, as he liked to sleep in late whenever he had nothing to do.
"What do you think about me opening a shop in the provincial capital? There are more people there, and their spending power is higher," Xia Baozhu discussed with Sun Xingyan.
"The provincial capital is nice, but it's too rushed. This shop has only been open for a few months and is still unstable. Going to the provincial capital now means having to manage both places, which is too tiring."
Sun Xingyan's consideration was that he didn't want Xia Baozhu to run too hard, but Xia Baozhu just wanted to temporarily avoid Chenshan Tower. She was afraid that he would bother her all the time, which would annoy her.
So she plans to open a shop in the provincial capital. If she can start a shop from scratch here, she will definitely be able to do it in the provincial capital as well.
Seeing Xia Baozhu's silence, Sun Xingyan knew she hadn't listened to what he had just said, so he changed his approach: "When are Song Yaoyang's people coming? We'll discuss whether to open a shop in the provincial capital when they arrive."
He didn't specify the time, but it might be in the next day or two.
Xia Baozhu was not optimistic about her collaboration with Song Yaoyang, and their two exchanges were not very friendly.
"Do the people in your store have health certificates?" Sun Xingyan suddenly asked.
"The new employees don't have it yet, I told them to get their certificates this week."
Xia Baozhu also thought of this problem, and decided that new employees should get their certificates before starting work.
"You don't look too good today, is something wrong?" Sun Xingyan could clearly sense that Xia Baozhu was not as energetic as yesterday, and her speech was not quite right.
“Chen Shanlou came to see me last night.” Xia Baozhu thought for a moment and decided to give Sun Xingyan a heads-up, telling him to be wary of Chen Shanlou.
"What? What does he want with you?" Sun Xingyan raised his voice, a bad feeling creeping into his heart.
"He wants me to marry him." Xia Baozhu leaned against the counter, speaking listlessly.
Sun Xingyan's heart tightened. He had just been preparing to pursue Xia Baozhu when someone proposed to her.
"What did you say?" Sun Xingyan asked hurriedly, his hope rekindled by Xia Baozhu's trip to the provincial capital.
"Of course not, we even had a fight."
"They got into a fight?" Sun Xingyan felt a little dizzy when he heard such an obscure term. A marriage proposal turned into a fight between a man and a woman?
"Did he hit you?" Sun Xingyan asked uncertainly. He knew Xia Baozhu's strength, but Chen Shanlou was definitely not bad either. The two might be evenly matched.
"No, I hit him, so I'm afraid he'll retaliate."
He didn't hear anything else from Sun Xingyan, only the phrase "I hit him" echoed in his ears.
Good heavens, I have to be prepared to get beaten up when I propose to Xia Baozhu.
Even someone like Shen Shanlou miscalculated. Sun Xingyan touched his missing abs and compared the difference in physique between himself and Shen Shanlou. He greatly admired his own courage in pursuing Xia Baozhu.
In an instant, Sun Xingyan suppressed his desire to pursue Xia Baozhu, fearing that if he spoke out, he would be met with a slap.
It's fine to like someone quietly; at least you won't get beaten up.
It's not too late to confess when the time is right.
Sun Xingyan even felt that Chen Shanlou was both pitiful and laughable. After all, he was a person of some standing, yet he was driven away by a woman.
“Then you should open a shop in the provincial capital.” Sun Xingyan understood why Xia Baozhu wanted to go to the provincial capital.
"At least Shenshan Tower can't reach that side."
The two of them sighed as they spoke, then looked at each other and couldn't help but laugh out loud.
But Shenshanlou's retaliation came even faster. Before Xia Baozhu could even meet Song Yaoyang's men, she was detained that very afternoon, still because of the previous incident.
In an interrogation room at the detention center, Chen Shanlou sat leisurely in his chair, admiring Xia Baozhu's angry expression, which resembled a kitten baring its teeth and claws, both cute and infuriating.
"Don't look at me like that. I've already explained before that it's because you were too violent that the patient's family insists on suing you. You came in through normal procedures, and I didn't do anything."
"They wanted to shut down your shop, but I stopped them. You should thank me."
Chen Shanlou knew how to handle Xia Baozhu. The shop was her life's work, and closing it would mean completely offending her.
Given her destructive power, if she were to act recklessly, who knows what kind of trouble she would cause.
He didn't want to push her to the brink; he just wanted her to learn a lesson here.
Shen Shanlou realized he had been too soft-hearted. He would never have wasted so much time and energy on how to mend their relationship.
“I want to hire a lawyer,” Xia Baozhu said coldly.
"Are you sure you want to spend a year or two fighting this lawsuit? During this time, you can stay in there and carefully consider where you went wrong."
Xia Baozhu was too lazy to talk to Shen Shanlou, so she just stayed.
Although she appeared tough, when Xia Baozhu saw the messy dormitory, she suppressed her disgust and tried not to regret it, but tears still involuntarily streamed down her face.
There were three other women in the large dormitory, all sitting silently in their bunks, only glancing at the newcomer with curiosity.
With tears in her eyes, Xia Baozhu followed the policewoman's instructions to her bed and spread out the worn-out bedding that had been brought to her.
"Now you know how to cry? Why didn't you tell me before? Go to the study room later and listen to the lecture to learn about laws and regulations." The policewoman showed no mercy and said to Xia Baozhu in an annoyed tone.
While eating, a few small white worms floated on the porridge, and Xia Baozhu vomited it up with a "whoosh".
"Eat all your food, don't waste any," the policewoman said sternly as she walked up to Xia Baozhu.
“There are bugs in the porridge, I won’t eat it,” Xia Baozhu replied, gripping her chopsticks tightly.
"We've only had a few years of good life, and you're already complaining about bugs in your porridge? You'll starve if you don't eat it. Let's see how long you can go hungry." The policewoman sneered and walked away.
These newcomers don't need any intervention; they'll behave when they're hungry.
