C44 I Can't Afford to Lose Face
Even the best room in the entire Heran Jade Garden, "Ya Zhu," was used by her to change Lu Qi's clothes.
"Miss Lu, this is the dress that I specially asked the servants to prepare for you. After changing, you can continue to attend the banquet." Chung's mother said politely.
Lu Qi looked down and saw that it was a dark blue dress that changed gradually.
The material was excellent and the style was also very new.
Needless to say, it must be a limited edition from an international brand.
"Thank you, Mrs. Cheng, for your good intentions." Lu Qi took the dress and thanked him politely.
"Miss Lu, you don't have to be polite with me. If it wasn't for you, it's hard to say whether our Zheng would have survived until now!"
Lu Qi curled her lips and did not say anything else.
Chung's mother was tactful.
"Then Miss Lu, you can change first. Call me if you need anything."
"Okay."
After closing the door, Chung's mother left with the maids.
"Madam, who is this little girl? Why are you so respectful to her?" The maid was very curious.
Chung's mother's delicate face carried a trace of mystery. "Don't look at how young she is, but she is very capable. Not only is she good at fortune-telling, but she can also bring the dead back to life. No, even my Zheng relies on her. I just got my life back!"
"Ah? Is he really that powerful? Then I'll have to find her to help me calculate my luck with the ladies later. "
As they spoke, they left the corridor near Ya Zhu's room.
At this moment, Zhou Xiaoqin walked out from the corner.
She looked at the door of "Ya Zhu's" room, shook the key in her hand, and curled her lips.
A good show was about to begin!
She opened the door to the room opposite "Ya Zhu's" room and prepared to use the closest distance to watch this good show.
But...
She didn't know what was going on, but even after waiting for a long time, she still didn't hear any sound from the other side.
"Strange, could it be that the few hoodlums I found online suddenly went back on their word?"
That shouldn't be the case!
The price she offered was much higher than the market price.
Not to mention gangsters, even real people in society would not be able to resist the temptation.
But...
It was a fact that this scene was not sung!
Zhou Xiaoqin could not rest assured.
She took out her phone and prepared to contact those people.
In the end, a few strong and unfamiliar men suddenly barged in.
Some of them had dyed red hair, while others had tattoos on their bodies.
With a single look, it was clear that they weren't good birds.
Zhou Xiaoqin was inexplicably a bit frightened.
"You... Who are you people? What are you doing in my room? Get out! "
The leading gangster glanced at her. His fierce triangular eyes emitted a dark green light, as if a wolf had seen flesh.
"Little girl, don't be afraid. My brothers are just here to play with you."
As that person spoke, he slowly approached Zhou Xiaoqin.
His hand unconsciously touched her.
Zhou Xiaoqin was very annoyed and knocked him out.
"Get lost! You want to take advantage of me? Are you tired of living?"
After all, she was the eldest daughter of the Zhou family.
She had been pampered since she was young, and was the head of the female assassins of the Star Academy's class nine.
Since when did these scumbags have the right to lay their hands on her?
The leading delinquent suffered a setback, and he was in a bad mood.
"Stinking girl, it's your honor to have someone pay us to play with you online. Don't be so shameless!"
Zhou Xiaoqin was stunned for a moment.
"What did you say? Someone paid you to come online?"
The leader was very impatient. "That's right. So you'd better behave and let us have some fun. Otherwise, you'll suffer! "
Zhou Xiaoqin let out a sigh of relief.
"So, you are the people I found online? Alright, since you are here, then hurry to the room called 'Ya Zhu' on the other side. There is an even more beautiful girl waiting for you there."
"Stop f * cking tricking us! When I entered, I saw it clearly. This is Ya Zhu!"
"This is Ya Zhu? Big Brother, do you not know calligraphy?"
Zhou Xiaoqin was speechless.
She opened the door and pointed at the words on it, teaching the punks a lesson word by word.
"Look carefully, these are..."
Zhou Xiaoqin was dumbfounded.
She originally thought that the words "Dong Mei" would be written on the door.
But the truth was that on the door of her room, there were actually two big words written clearly: Ya Zhu.
This... How was this possible?
She clearly entered the "Dongmei" room, but why did it become "Ya Zhu" in just a short period of time?
"Did you f * cking see it clearly now? You're the person who lives in Ya Zhu's room. You're the girl we want to deal with! "
The hoodlums lost their patience and directly pulled her back into the room and threw her onto the bed...
In the opposite room, Lu Qi's mouth was covered by someone.
The man's slender fingertips carried a faint scent of tobacco, light and charming.
She slowly raised her clear eyes and looked at the other party's face.
Her features were jet-black, her eyes were long and slender, and under her straight nose was a tight and sexy thin lips.
She was indeed peerlessly handsome.
"Oh..." Lu Qi grunted.
Mo Shihan subconsciously loosened his grip and made a shushing motion at her.
About ten minutes ago, he found out that Zhou Xiaoqin had specially found someone to harm Lu Qi, so he had Mo Yi change Zhou Xiaoqin's room number so that she would suffer.
But this was related to Lu Qi. Even if everything was arranged properly, he was still worried.
Thus, he personally came over.
In the end, it was better to come earlier than later.
As soon as he entered, the delinquents behind him also came.
In order to avoid unnecessary complications, he could only cover Lu Qi's mouth.
Until now, when the crisis had passed, the two of them looked at each other. Only then did they realize how awkward the atmosphere between them was.
"What happened outside, was it your masterpiece?" Lu Qi was the first to break the deadlock.
Mo Shihan nodded slightly and did not avoid it.
"Zhou Xiaoqin found someone to sully you. After I found out, I pushed the boat along with the current."
His expression was sincere, without any hint of falsehood or wanting to claim credit.
This made Lu Qi's impression of him slightly better than before.
"Actually, I can handle this kind of thing myself."
Lu Qi struggled out of his embrace and took out a yellow talisman from the small bag that she carried with her. She raised her hand and made a few complicated hand seals.
In the next second, she heard a scream from the opposite room.
"Ah, there is a ghost!"
A few punks saw some terrifying scene and instantly swarmed out.
Even Zhou Xiaoqin was scared to death. She carried her ragged clothes and ran out.
"Ghost! Really ghost! So scary!"
For a moment, the entire Herlan Flower Garden began to discuss about the ghost in the room. It was as scary as it could be.
Mo Shihan's lips curled up slightly. "It seems that it won't be long before this famous manor becomes the infamous haunted house."
Lu Qi shrugged her shoulders. "Does this have anything to do with me?"
She said it with confidence.
It was as if the person who used the yellow talisman just now was not her.
