"The police were already here, but Baishao and I dealt with them. Boss is lying in the private room and refuses to leave. He's injured and if we don't bandage it in time, it'll get infected. We can't persuade him to leave. Sister-in-law, can you come over and take a look?"
"I'm already asleep." Tong Qiao hung up after saying that. She threw the phone on the sofa and went into the bathroom with her pajamas.
About five minutes later, Tong Qiao came out of the bathroom in a hurry. She went to the cloakroom to change and went out.
Ji Ji stood at the door of the private room and looked outside anxiously. "Why isn't Sister-in-law here yet?"
Baishao sat on the sofa and looked at Lu Jinshen, who was lying on the sofa. She didn't know if he was drunk or asleep. "She just called to ask for your address. How can she be here so soon?"
About 15 minutes later, Ji Ji saw Tong Qiao. "Sister-in-law, you're finally here."
Tong Qiao walked into the private room. There were smells of alcohol, cigarettes, and a faint smell of blood. It was unbearable. Tong Qiao frowned instinctively. She walked to the sofa and saw Lu Jinshen's hand hanging by the sofa. The back of his hand was badly mutilated and blood was dripping down his knuckles.
Tong Qiao's heart skipped a beat. She calmed herself down and shouted, "Lu Jinshen, get up."
Lu Jinshen lay on the sofa with his eyes closed. He didn't respond.
Ji Ji said, "Boss drank a lot. He must be drunk now and can't hear you."
Tong Qiao said, "Can't you just carry him to the hospital?"
Ji Ji looked helpless. "No, if I touch him, he will hit me. Look …" Ji Ji pointed at the bruise on his face. "This is from Boss."
Tong Qiao looked at Baishao. Baishao shrugged and said, "Boss never lets women get close to him. Although I've been by his side for so many years, I've never laid a finger on him."
"What kind of bad habit is that?" Tong Qiao had a look of disdain on her face, but her heart was filled with sweetness for no reason.
"I don't know what's wrong with the boss today. He seems to be in a very bad mood. He could have gotten off work, but he insisted on dragging Baishao and me to this bar, saying that we wanted to try our luck and see if we could meet Fang Shengtian. However, he didn't take us to wait for him. Instead, he directly asked for a private room and started drinking as soon as he came in. After drinking too much, he said that he wanted to go out for a smoke.
Tong Qiao looked at the man with deep facial features under the light. She wondered if he was unhappy and came out to get drunk because she said she was going to leave today.
"Sister-in-law, shall we send Boss to the hospital first?" Ji Ji reminded her.
Tong Qiao gathered her thoughts and bent down to pull Lu Jinshen. As soon as she grabbed his arm, he threw a punch at her. Fortunately, Tong Qiao was prepared and dodged in advance.
Baishao caught Tong Qiao in time, who took a few steps back. "Are you okay?"
Tong Qiao shook her head and steadied herself. She stared at Lu Jinshen's bloody hand for a moment, then glanced at the table. She walked over, picked up the wine glass on the table, and poured the wine directly on Lu Jinshen's face.
She was so fast that Ji Ji couldn't stop her in time. He could only stand aside and stare in shock, thinking to himself, "Sister-in-law is so domineering!"
Seeing Lu Jinshen open his eyes, Tong Qiao asked condescendingly, "You're awake?"
Lu Jinshen glanced at Tong Qiao and pinched the space between his eyebrows with his elegant hand. Then he slowly sat up from the sofa, wiping the wine on his face and asking, "Why are you here?"
"Boss, I called Sister-in-law to come here." Ji Ji hurriedly pulled out a few pieces of tissue and handed them over.
Lu Jinshen glanced at Ji Ji coldly and didn't take the tissue. "Why did you ask her to come here when we're working?"
Ji Ji withdrew his hand embarrassedly. "Boss, I think you're drunk …"
"I'm not drunk." Lu Jinshen interrupted Ji Ji and turned to instruct Baishao. "Send her back."
Tong Qiao looked at Lu Jinshen with a frown. "You're injured. Go to the hospital."
Lu Jinshen looked down at his hand. When he raised his eyes to look at Tong Qiao, the corners of his mouth turned up. "Are you concerned about me?"
Tong Qiao said coldly, "No."
Lu Jinshen stood up and stood in front of Tong Qiao. His deep and misty eyes stared at her without blinking. "You obviously care about me. Why don't you admit it?"
As he came closer, a strong smell of alcohol assailed her nostrils. Tong Qiao frowned subconsciously and took two steps back. How much did this man drink?
Lu Jinshen held Tong Qiao's shoulders. His voice was low and hoarse from drinking. "Qiao 'er, you care about me too, don't you?"
Tong Qiao struggled to break free. His grip was very tight and she couldn't break free. "Let go of me."
Lu Jinshen pulled Tong Qiao into his arms and hugged her tightly. "I won't let go. You're mine. I won't let you go."
"Lu Jinshen, don't throw a drunken tantrum at me. I won't fall for it."
"Qiao 'er, you don't know how important you are to me. I don't deserve happiness in this life. But I met you. I know I shouldn't be greedy, but I can't help but fall for you. He's gone, but I'm living such a happy life. I'm guilty. I should let you go. Only if I die alone will I be worthy of him. But I … I can't bear to let you go. I can't bear to. "
Tong Qiao stopped struggling because of Lu Jinshen's strange words. "Why don't you deserve happiness? Who is he? Where did he go? "
Lu Jinshen didn't answer Tong Qiao's question. He only hugged her tighter. "Don't leave me."
Bang!
The door was suddenly kicked open from the outside.
"It's him. Beat him up." A blonde man standing at the door pointed at Lu Jinshen and shouted at the group of men behind him.
After he finished speaking, more than ten men filed into the room. The originally spacious room instantly became a little cramped.
Ji Ji recognized the man who said to beat him up. He was the one who had fought with Lu Jinshen outside the room. Ji Ji didn't expect that he would dare to bring people to cause trouble again. Ji Ji took a few steps forward. "What do you want?"
The blonde man said to the group of men behind him, "Don't talk nonsense with him. Today, we have to let him know who he can't afford to provoke. Beat him up. Beat him up hard."
More than ten men approached Lu Jinshen together.
Baishao glanced at them coldly. "You're gathering people to fight. You'll suffer when the police come."
The blonde man sneered. "Do you think your family owns the police station? The police just left. Why would they listen to you and come back? Beat him up. I'll take responsibility if he dies. "
Ji Ji wanted to say something, but those people didn't give him a chance to speak. They had already started to beat him up.
In a moment, the room was in chaos.
Although Lu Jinshen had drunk too much, he had already sobered up. He kept protecting Tong Qiao behind him. "Stay by my side. These people are not simple."
"I'm not easy to bully. You're drunk. You'd better worry about yourself." Tong Qiao didn't appreciate Lu Jinshen's kindness and deliberately separated from him.
