As dusk fell.
Based on her memory of the journey, Xu Qingqing made her way out of the Chu family manor through a maze of twists and turns, and following Director Li's directions, she found the house he had pointed out.
Factory Director Li was sitting resentfully on the long steps, counting ants on the ground, when a pair of feet appeared in his line of sight. He looked up and was so frightened that he leaned back: "You, you, you, are you a human or a ghost? I, I'm telling you, every wrong has its perpetrator, every debt its debtor. Who killed you, go find them. I have no grudge against you, why are you scaring me!"
Xu Qingqing looked up at the sky. With such a bright sun, what kind of ghost was so bold as to come out in broad daylight? She looked around again, but couldn't see a single ghost. Then she realized that the ghost that Director Li was talking about was her.
Three black lines appeared on his forehead. Xu Qingqing stepped on his foot, saying, "Look carefully at who I am. How dare you call me a ghost? I won't let this go without teaching you a lesson!"
"Ouch, I was wrong, I was wrong!" Director Li was writhing in pain, crying out in agony as he begged for mercy. He felt incredibly wronged. Anyone who saw her like this would be terrified. The faint-hearted would be scared to death, or at least faint.
Xu Qingqing lifted her foot and let go. Director Li immediately picked up her foot, bent down, and prepared to blow on it to relieve the pain. However, his stomach was pressing against her, so he couldn't lift his foot or bend down. He simply gave up and started rubbing it with his hands instead.
Thankfully, he hadn't used much force, and the pain subsided after a while. This time, he turned to Xu Qingqing and asked, "Where have you been all this time? Didn't I tell you to follow the markings? Tell me, have you gotten into trouble again?"
Xu Qingqing looked a little guilty, her hands behind her back, her head down, and she spun around on one foot, muttering, "It's because this place is so big, all directions look the same, that's why I got lost, and then someone dragged me to pour drinks for them."
It's a bit of a pity, she was so focused on the food that she didn't take a bottle with her before leaving. It would have been nice to try it when she got back. She was just marveling at how many expensive wines there were, how come she didn't think of them? *sobs* She regrets it.
Factory Director Li remained expressionless. Judging from her appearance, he was certain that what followed was the main event. He stood up from the long steps, crossed his arms, and snorted, "And then? You must still have something to say, and look at you like this. Tell me, what happened?"
Forehead……
Hehe, Xu Qingqing pretended to be stupid and tried to fool her, but seeing the knowing look in Director Li's eyes, she finally replied in a muffled voice: "It's nothing, it's just that after being made a maid, I had the bad luck to run into an enemy, and the way she looked at me made me very unhappy, so I tried to persuade her to drink, but she refused."
Factory Director Li: "And then?"
"Then she asked me to meet her at the flower pond for a detailed talk. She mocked me, had murderous intent towards me, and wanted to push me into the flower pond to drown me. I was even more annoyed, so I used some tricks on her. Then she had an affair with the youngest son of the homeowner."
"This one and that one?" Director Li was a little confused.
Seeing that he didn't understand, Xu Qingqing made an OK sign with her left hand and raised her index finger with her right. Director Li was initially a little confused, but when he saw Xu Qingqing put her index finger in… and then… like this…
Now Director Li understood everything. He covered his face with one hand and refused with the other: "Alright, alright, what kind of behavior is this? Put your hands down right now. A young lady making such a gesture, aren't you ashamed? Don't do it again next time."
Xu Qingqing rolled her eyes. She hadn't done anything wrong; she had just imitated him. Look how scared he was. He was a man, and he was even more shy than her. If this happened in the future, and he saw women wearing bikinis at the beach, he would be so embarrassed.
Some bikinis have only a piece of fabric in the middle, so it's like wearing nothing at all, exposing your buttocks. What's so special about that? In America, there are people who walk around naked, having painted clothes on themselves with paint, just like that.
Ultimately, people in this era were too naive, unlike people in later generations who have seen everything and wear all kinds of clothes without a second thought, completely disregarding others' opinions and dressing however they want. They truly have freedom of dress and do whatever they please.
Xu Qingqing lowered her hand and pouted: "That's enough. I said whether you want to do this or not. I'm not afraid, so why are you shy!"
"Hey, you're still not convinced, huh? Have you ever met anyone as good as you? You're always causing trouble, and you haven't been caught this time, have you?"
Director Li spoke the last sentence very softly. Xu Qingqing was taken aback for a moment, and the corners of her mouth curved slightly, but the smile quickly disappeared. She shook her head and said, "Don't worry, this matter won't involve me. It's just that the person couldn't suppress their inner desires and was let off the hook."
Besides, I only played a triggering role; what truly harmed her was her extreme inner desire.
Factory Director Li only half understood what he was hearing, but as long as he knew that Xu Qingqing wasn't involved, that was fine. Besides, it was that person who had bad intentions and wanted to kill Xu Qingqing, so it wouldn't be right not to retaliate.
Xu Qingqing gave a brief account of what happened after those two days. As for the mysterious person behind the scenes that she had heard about, she kept it to herself, waiting for an opportunity to find out the person's location. She had a feeling that the person would come looking for her soon.
The person behind Lin Meijiao is inextricably linked to the Zhao family. She doesn't understand what use Lin Meijiao is to the Zhao family, or why the Zhao family would help her.
Will the Zhao family step in to help Lin Meijiao again now that she's in trouble?
Xu Qingqing pondered. If the Zhao family were to help Lin Meijiao again, it would be certain that Lin Meijiao was very important to the Zhao family, otherwise they wouldn't have rescued her time and time again. This was indeed a good breakthrough point.
She suddenly thought of Lin Meijiao's system. If she could turn it to her side and have it monitor Lin Meijiao for her, it would be the best listening device, and it wouldn't be discovered by anyone. Even Lin Meijiao herself probably wouldn't know.
The more Xu Qingqing thought about it, the more feasible it seemed. So she decided to go quickly and persuade the system to act as her second eyes and ears. As long as the Zhao family dared to come looking for her or take Lin Meijiao back, she would be able to pinpoint their location and proceed with the next step.
Factory Director Li watched Xu Qingqing pondering something. After a while, she turned and ran away. He scratched his head, feeling helpless at her unpredictable behavior. He sighed. Before he could tell her to get ready before entering the meeting, Factory Director Li shook his head and then walked into the meeting room.
It seems she won't be able to attend today's event.
Xu Qingqing once again wandered around and arrived at the Chu family's back garden. By this time, there was no one in sight, only the sound of birds chirping.
Lin Meijiao was in her guest room at the time, completely unaware that Xu Qingqing, whom she had been looking for for so long, had returned again.
