The man stopped and turned to look. He saw the waiter who was serving the dishes earlier standing by the door with a bunch of keys.
The man was angry. He got off the sofa and ran to the door. He scolded, “What are you doing? How dare you spoil my mood? Is the money that I gave you not enough?”
The waiter stepped back but didn’t reply.
The man wanted to continue to scold him but there was a person who walked out behind the waiter. Zhu Rui looked at the man and smiled politely, “I told him to do so.”
“Who the hell are you?”
Zhu Rui didn’t reply but took out a name card and passed it to him.
He took over the name card and glanced at it. However, his facial expression suddenly changed. He looked at Zhu Rui in terror, “You, you…”
Zhu Rui beckoned to two bodyguards and they came forward to seize control of the man, “This is a society governed by law. I will send you to the police station to cool down the fire withinin you. You can return whenever you realize your mistake. Otherwise, you can stay there for the rest of your life.”
The man quivered in fear and he pleaded, “No. I didn’t intend to offend Young Master Lu. Please, let me go. I don’t want to go to jail.”
The man was dragged away by the bodyguards.
Ning Qing quickly pulled up her jeans after she shook him off. The pervasive man’s wailing sound went grew distant. Then, there were footsteps getting closing in on her.
“Who are you, don’t come here,” Ning Qing curled up on the sofa. She was like an injured porcupine, skeptical of everyone.
She heard a bottle cap screw open and there was a refreshing mint scent. She was so frightened that she started fanning, “What are you making me smell? What are you trying to do?”
“Miss, don’t panic. I have no bad intentions. This is medicine that refreshes one’s mind. Do you feel better now?”
Ning Qing felt that the discomfort in her body was dismissed slowly and her vision became clearer. She lifted her eyes and looked at the person before her. It was a gentleman in a suit.
“You saved me? Thank you,” It was really someone who saved her. Ning Qing forced a smile and thanked him.
“You’re welcome. Miss, rest for a while. I’ll ask someone to bring you some water to wash your face and take care of your injury on your forehead.”
Ning Qing got up but she didn’t have much strength. She staggered to the dining table and wiped the blood on her forehead away with a piece of wet towel. She shook her head and said, “It’s okay. Thank you. I’ll make a move first.”
She just made a narrow escape from a disaster but she didn’t even have the time to bemoan the hard times and the misery that’s befallen her. There’s a problem in reality that was still waiting to be solved. Her mother was going in for the operation the next day and she needed money.
Ning Qing walked out of the hotel. She attracted much attention on her way out as many people were talking about her behind her back.
Standing outside the hotel door, she looked at herself in the revolving glass door. There was a blood stain on her forehead, her hair was messy, a few buttons on her shirt were gone, and her jeans were torn.
She smirked as she laughed at herself. She lifted her head so her tears would stay in her eyes. She didn’t feel aggrieved but she thought she shouldn’t appear before her mother in that state. She should return to her dorm that night and raise the funds elsewhere the next morning. She would definitely take revenge that night.
She felt extremely pathetic.
She turned around and wanted to leave.
Her foot paused in the mid-air when she was walking down the stairs. There were a few luxurious cars parked at the entrance of the hotel. There were a bunch of businessmen standing below the retro festive lanterns. One of them smiled faintly, looking extremely elegant.
