Li Weixi barely slept the whole night and was always in a half-awake state.
She dreamed that Xu Shaohua pushed her into the arms of a middle-aged man with a ferocious face, and then she dreamed that she was in the hospital and had pulled out her father's needle.
These were the shadows left in Li Weixi's heart. They were the lingering clouds in her heart.
Later, she turned on the bedside lamp and leaned against the headboard, only to find that there was no one beside her. Lin Yi did not stay here.
The night was terrifyingly quiet. Apart from the small light in the room, she was surrounded by the dark night, which made it impossible for her to escape.
She took out the invitation letter that Xu Shaohua had given her and bit her lip.
Actually, if she had told Lin Yi, he would have helped her solve the problem, but her self-esteem did not allow her to do so.
At the end of the day, they were just lovers. What was she in his eyes? He might not take her matters to heart.
Their relationship was so fragile that it might break up one day.
That might be the reason why she did not want to rely on him too much, because this relationship did not give Li Weixi a sense of security.
She felt a headache coming on. She threw the invitation letter on the table and pinched her swollen temples.
If she attended the banquet, she could not guarantee that she would be able to leave unscathed. Although she had become someone else's lover, she did not want to humiliate herself like this.
The door of the room was suddenly pushed open and Lin Yi walked in.
Li Weixi thought that he was not at home. She was stunned for a moment, then she quickly took the invitation letter and hid it under the pillow, not wanting Lin Yi to see it.
"What's wrong? Did you have a nightmare? "Lin Yi asked with a frown.
Li Weixi said, "Yes, I had a nightmare, so I woke up."
"What nightmare?"
"Nothing, just a normal nightmare." Li Weixi lay down again. "I am going to sleep now."
It seemed that she was not going to confide in him. Lin Yi was not in a hurry. He said slowly, "Oh, then go to sleep. I will watch over you."
"No need …" Li Weixi said subconsciously.
"Go to sleep." Lin Yi's tone was firm.
Li Weixi could only close his eyes.
But even if she closed her eyes, she could still feel his gaze on her, never leaving her.
Her heartbeat quickened. Perhaps it was because of her guilty conscience. This was a feeling that she had never felt before.
If he knew about the invitation, what would he do? But thinking about it carefully, this matter didn't seem to have anything to do with him.
Lin Yi waited until her breathing was even before he walked to the other side and gently pulled out the invitation from under her pillow.
The invitation letter was inlaid with gold, and although it was exquisite, it was slightly tacky. After opening it, the Xu Family's name was written on it.
Lin Yi couldn't help but sneer. Sure enough, this was the case.
She didn't even tell him about this. Was she planning to compromise? Lin Yi really wanted to wake this woman up and ask her what she was thinking.
Did she think that an old man was better than him?
Lin Yi felt inexplicably angry, but in the end, he stuffed the invitation back and pretended not to know about it.
The banquet was approaching, and Li Weixi hesitated. She received a text from Xu Shaohua, reminding her not to forget to attend the banquet.
Li Weixi was annoyed, but she couldn't disobey her now. Fortunately, Lin Yi was out today, otherwise she wouldn't know how to explain it to him.
She had to go, but she would be very careful not to let anyone take advantage of her. As for how to escape, she would have to improvise.
She changed into a gown and put on light makeup. When she went downstairs, she saw Aunt Lin.
Seeing her dressed up like this, Aunt Lin couldn't help but ask, "Miss, where are you going?"
Li Weixi said, "I'm just going to see a friend."
Aunt Lin hesitated for a moment and reminded her, "You'd better come back as soon as possible. If Mr. Li doesn't see you at home when he comes back, I'm afraid he will lose his temper again."
Li Weixi nodded and said, "I will."
Li Weixi took a taxi to the banquet site. After getting out of the car, she went straight into the hotel.
The banquet was on the third floor of the hotel. Fortunately, it was a relatively formal banquet, and many of the guests were famous in the city.
Li Weixi was afraid of meeting acquaintances or Lin Yi's friends here. If Lin Yi knew about it, it would not be good.
Xu Shaohua had been in the venue for a long time. When she came in, she immediately greeted her and said with dissatisfaction, "Why are you so slow? Why didn't you come earlier?"
Li Weixi was silent.
"Forget it, forget it. Come with me quickly." Xu Shaohua looked at her impatiently, took her to a corridor and opened the door of one of the rooms.
A group of middle-aged men were sitting in the room. The room was filled with smoke and the smell of alcohol. There were all kinds of obscene laughter, which made Li Weixi feel very disgusted.
Several young ladies in gowns were already sitting in the room. They were dressed up beautifully, but the smiles on their faces were full of prostitutes.
Xu Shaohua gave her a push and said, "You're already at the door. Why are you still pretending?"
Li Weixi was wearing high heels and almost fell down. She looked a little angry.
The middle-aged men stopped laughing and looked at them.
Xu Shaohua smiled at one of the middle-aged men and said, "Mr. Xu, this is my daughter, Li Weixi. I introduced her to you earlier."
Hearing this, the middle-aged man looked Li Weixi up and down.
Li Weixi felt like she was a product that was at the mercy of others. She hated this feeling.
But now she was too weak and there was no way she could refuse. She could not control her own destiny. Her future was already dark.
Li Weixi stood there expressionlessly like a block of wood. Xu Shaohua pushed her unhappily and motioned for her to hurry over.
Li Weixi felt like she was her money tree. She was using her father to control her and make her earn money for her.
Her life was so sad.
Li Weixi moved numbly and was about to walk over when the door was suddenly kicked open.
Before anyone could react, Lin Yi walked in with a gloomy face. His cold eyes swept over Li Weixi's face.
Li Weixi's face was pale and she stood there, not daring to move.
Xu Shaohua did not dare to offend Lin Yi. His expression changed and he walked forward with a smile. "Mr. Lin, why are you here? Are you here to have fun too? "
Lin Yi was not angry. Instead, he laughed. "Have fun? Tell me, what can I have fun with here? Women? "
Xu Shaohua was so frightened that her face turned pale and her lips trembled. Before she could speak, Lin Yi slapped her across the face.
"I have never hit a woman. You are the first one."
Lin Yi had already warned Xu Shaohua a long time ago, but she did not take his words to heart. She even dared to threaten Li Weixi to do such a thing.
Lin Yi looked at Li Weixi gloomily. "Aren't you going to come over?"
Li Weixi's lips moved and she walked stiffly to Lin Yi's side.
She was extremely flustered. If he found out … what would he do? What would he do to her? Did he … think that she was cheap?
Li Weixi bit her lower lip tightly to stop herself from crying.
She had never thought that he would see this scene and make her feel so embarrassed. It was as if thousands of arrows were shooting at her. Her entire body and even her bones were stinging.
Lin Yi pulled Li Weixi behind him and looked at Mr. Xu with a malicious gaze.
Of course, Mr. Xu knew Lin Yi. He stood up trembling in fear and looked like he was about to cry. "Lin Shao, Lin Shao, please spare me … I didn't know she was your woman. If I had known, I wouldn't have dared to touch her."
Lin Yi-leng said, "I didn't think you had the guts to touch my woman either."
The middle-aged man wiped his cold sweat and nodded. "Yes, yes, yes … This really has nothing to do with me. This woman instigated me."
Lin Yi's gaze landed on Xu Shaohua again.
Xu Shaohua covered her face and hurriedly explained, "Lin Shao, don't misunderstand. I just brought this girl out to meet some friends. Nothing else …"
"Do you think I am a three-year-old child?" Lin Yi interrupted her in a deep voice. "Have you forgotten what I told you before?"
His tone suddenly became sinister.
Xu Shaohua realized that something was wrong and hurriedly begged for mercy. "Lin Shao, I really didn't mean anything else. I know this girl is your woman. How would I dare to touch her? Lin Shao …"
She begged hysterically, but Lin Yi was unmoved. He asked the bodyguards to drag this woman out and send her to South East Asia, so that she would never have the chance to come back.
This series of actions frightened Li Weixi. During this period of time, she had forgotten that Lin Yi was a ruthless and heartless man.
After dealing with Xu Shaohua, what would he do with her next? Li Weixi felt her heart trembling.
He turned around and looked at her with a gloomy face. Li Weixi did not dare to look at him. She kept her head down and her fingertips were trembling as she gripped the hem of the dress tightly.
Lin Yi grabbed her hand and held it tightly in his hand, pulling her away without any gentleness.
Li Weixi couldn't even take a step forward. Lin Yi had been holding his hand the entire time.
On the way back, Lin Yi did not say a word. There was a gloomy atmosphere around him, which frightened Li Weixi so much that she did not dare to breathe. She had never seen him so angry before.
When they arrived at the villa, he pulled her into the room and slammed the door shut.
The sound echoed in Li Weixi's heart. She was so frightened that her face turned pale.
"Don't you have anything to explain?" Lin Yi-leng looked at her coldly.
Li Weixi said in a trembling voice, "I, I …"
She should have known what would happen if this overbearing and arrogant man found out that she had gone out to accompany another man.
Although she did not really want to accompany him and was just going to deal with it, in his eyes, she was shameless.
