Hearing the knock on the door, several people in the house woke up immediately. Tang Lili and her mother ran to the balcony in panic. Tang's father seemed to be stimulated by something and picked up the kitchen knife that Tang's mother had thrown away.
His eyes were red as he said angrily, "Qian, don't go too far. Even if we don't want this job, we won't let our daughter follow a beast like you. If you don't leave, I'll chop you to death, you bastard."
Huo Qiqi, who was outside the door, heard what Mr. Tang said and realized that Tang Lili was in big trouble. She shouted through the door, "Uncle Tang, I'm Huo Qiqi. Do you remember me? I'm here to look for Lili."
Tang Lili recognized Huo Qiqi's voice. She threw her arms wide and ran to the door. After opening it, she found that the person who came was Huo Qiqi.
She rushed over to him all of a sudden, tears streaming down her face like they were free. She said sadly, "Qiqi, you're finally back. Do you know how much I missed you?"
Huo Qiqi said nothing, but just patted the little sister's back gently. After 20 minutes, Tang Lili stopped crying.
She scratched her head and said to Huo Qiqi embarrassedly, "Qiqi, I'm sorry, I got your clothes wet. Can you come into my room and change clothes?"
Huo Qiqi wanted to refuse, but was forcibly pulled into the room by Tang Lili. Tang Lili took out a new dress that she had never worn before and handed it to Huo Qiqi.
Huo Qiqi smiled and said nothing. She changed her clothes and then came to the living room.
At everyone's urging, Tang Lili pulled Huo Qiqi to sit on the sofa.
Father Tang brought a cup of brown sugar water and placed it in front of Huo Qiqi. He said embarrassedly, "Qiqi, did I scare you? Uncle didn't know it was you outside the door. I'm really sorry."
Huo Qiqi shook her head, smiled faintly, and said, "Uncle and aunt, this is not your fault. It's also my fault for coming here unexpectedly. I wonder if I disturbed you. I hope you don't get angry."
Mrs. Tang said, "Qiqi, you and Lily have been good friends for many years. We treat you like our own daughter. Coming here is like coming home. Don't be polite."
Huo Qiqi glanced at Tang Lili, then at her mother, and said to her, "Aunt, since you regard me as half your daughter, then tell me what happened to Lili, and let's work together to find a solution."
Tang's mother lowered her head and thought for a while, then she told the whole story of how Tang Lili was harassed by Qian Gui.
After hearing this, Huo Qiqi shook Tang Lili's cold little hand and said angrily, "The father and son who gave this money are really bastards, they don't behave like human beings.
What era is this? How dare they force someone to marry? They are truly audacious. Auntie, don’t you think of calling the police?”
Tang Muwen was even more sad when she heard Huo Qiqi's question. She threw down the handkerchief in her hand and said angrily,
"Qiqi, how could we not have thought about calling the police? It's just that the deputy director sent a middleman to tell us that if we dare to call the police, they will immediately fire your uncle and me, and he also has a way to prevent Lili from going to work."
Hearing what Mother Tang said, Huo Qiqi's eyes flashed with frost. She said coldly, "It seems that this arrogant Mr. Qian relies on his father's power. He is really a bastard."
Tang Lili sensed Huo Qiqi's anger. She immediately grabbed her arm and said, "Qiqi, you must not put yourself in danger for my sake. It's not worth it."
Huo Qiqi patted Tang Lili's hand, signaling her not to worry, and then said to Tang's father and mother,
"Uncle, aunt, don't worry. I know Director Xu of the Public Security Bureau. I'm indebted to him. I'll say hello to him later and see how to handle this matter best.
Don't worry about Lily's affairs, and don't worry about work. I will first understand the situation of Deputy Director Qian.
If there's really no other way, I'll go visit the food factory's leadership. It's hard to say about regular employees, but temporary employees shouldn't be a problem. You can go to the food factory to work then."
After putting down the gifts she brought, Huo Qiqi refused the Tang family's request to have dinner together and said goodbye to the Tang family.
"Mr. Qian, I was just saying that Tang Lili is pretty, wasn't she?" A woman in her 30s stood in front of Qian Gui and said in a flattering manner.
"Well, Xue Wanli, you've done a great job. If you have any requests, just tell me and I'll see if I can help you realize them." A young man with sunken eye sockets and a face as pale as paper leaned back in a chair and talked freely.
Xue Wanli's eyes turned, she glanced at Qian Gui, and said with a smile, "Master Qian, I actually recommended Tang Lili to you because I want her to work at your machinery factory. I offended Huo Qiqi before, and now the factory leaders have a problem with me."
When Qian Gui heard the name Huo Qiqi, he was stunned, because he had heard of this name. It was said that there was a little orphan girl from a well-off family, and she was also an excellent employee. She had been interviewed and appeared in newspapers. The most important thing was that she was said to be good-looking.
Xue Wanli, tell me the truth honestly. Do you have a grudge against Huo Qiqi? I heard that Tang Lili is Huo Qiqi's good friend.
Is it because you can't take revenge on Huo Qiqi, so you divert your hatred to Tang Lili? Let me tell you, I know my reputation is already rotten. You brought Tang Lili to my attention just to destroy it, right? "
Hearing Qian Gui's words, Xue Wanli felt a chill run down her spine. She took several steps back, as if she'd been seen through, and fell to the ground. Then something occurred to her. She stood up, dusted herself off, and said with a smile, "Could it be that Young Master Qian is willing to give up Tang Lili?"
Qian Gui shook his head and sneered, "Is there any woman I, Qian Gui, can't get? I just want to get Tang Lili, this rose with thorns.
If Huo Qiqi hadn't suddenly disappeared from Beijing, I would have definitely gone to see how beautiful she is. What a pity."
Xue Wanli smiled repeatedly and said, "How many girls wouldn't be fascinated by a handsome young man like Young Master Qian? That Tang Lili is just having a hard time thinking straight. I'll find a chance to counsel her."
"Xue Wanli, the progress is too slow. I can't wait any longer. If you can't find a way to deal with Tang Lili today,
I will let you know that teasing this young master is not something that can be resolved by just saying sorry a few times," Qian Gui looked at Xue Wanli sinisterly.
Xue Wanli felt uneasy being watched by Qian Gui. She gritted her teeth, calmed herself, and said in a high voice, "Mr. Qian, why don't we give her some drugs to make Tang Lili obey you?"
Hearing Xue Wanli's words, Qian Gui stood up angrily, slapped her several times in the face, and then kicked her away.
Qian Gui said viciously, "Xue Wanli, you are the most ruthless girl I have ever met, but your method is good, I like it very much. I will leave the task of finding the medicine to you."
Xue Wanli was shocked. Where could she, a woman, find medicine?
