survival can't be compromised
As Shen Chen and her manager left the club, Lei Xinyi sat back in front of the bar and ordered another drink and held her head in her hand and started massaging it to keep her act for a smooth exit.
She may not be an actor but having a friend like Su Qing, she was well versed in playing white lotus.
A thing Su Qing and Lei Xinyi had in common and they apted it with no remorse. The world was a cruel place all they ever strived to was survive.
And survival can't be compromised, no matter the trade.
Li Qiang and Su Zhinan shared a looking at her pitiful condition.
Then Li Qiang Kept a hand on her shoulder and asked, "Miss Lu, Are you Okay? Do you want us to get you something?"
Lifting her head from her hands, she gave a weak smile and said almost apologetically, "No I'll just head home. I..I am sorry you had to see that…. It's just people nowadays are too ….. Ambitious. I Just didn't know, how to deal with the shock. I really think I overreacted and now I am rambling….."
Then covering her face with her hand, "Ahhh... It's just so embarrassing."
Looking at the girl in front of him reddening with embarrassment, unknowingly Li Qiang and Su Zhinan lips curled upward at her adorability.
"Miss Lu, please don't be embarrassed. After all we are going to be a family soon and I will deal with them so that they never pull a trick like this again." She heard Li Qiang say.
At his statement Lei Xinyi ears perked up. The Shen family and the Lu family Madams have a rather close relationship. If this matter is flared up they will know the scene she caused.
These people may have only ever heard of Lu Xinyi but the Lu family will definitely see the behavior difference. Most of all she was grounded!
This is going to be trouble! She has to do something! She knew better, what he mean by 'deal' with it.
She looked up in Li Qiang eyes with her own teary ones, "Brother Li, I..I don't want to make an issue out of it. Try to understand. She had been a good friend to me; I can't repay her like this. Please let it go. I don't want my or her family to be involved in a petty grudge. My father gets protective about me so please…"
"But…."
"Please, this is my first time; I am asking something from you. I will talk to her myself not to do it again. You are going to be my brother in-law, please don't make trouble for Chenchen. Please…"
Looking at her pitiful eyes, Li Qiang sighed, "Miss Lu, You are going to be a family now I will do as you say and deal with it. This will not leave the room, you can be rest assured."
"Oh, thank you! Brother Li, I will remember this kindness of yours and please you guys can call me Xinyi or anything you feel comfy with." She said with utmost gratitude.
Then she stood up from her seat and picked her bag, "I will excuse for the night, it's late and I have to get home. I am sorry for trouble I caused you guys."
"We will drive you Xinyi, it's not good to go alone at this hour of the night and you had a couple of drinks so it's not good to drive either." Su Zhinan said with a frown.
"Yeah, Xinyi. you are already distressed to drive safely and we will also say our greetings to Mr. Lu." Li Qiang said taking a step forward.
Lei Xinyi inwardly gritted her teeth, 'Why can't she have an easy night?! Why do troubles keep jumping from every corner?! First that Shen Chen! Now this! For the love of GOD, she just came to drink!!'
Giving a forced smile through her gritted teeth she said, "I have a driver with me and Brothers I will be safe. Father will be asleep already to attend you anyway but please visit us some else day. I just don't want to be a bother. Goodbye!" with that she turned to leave.
"Then we will leave you to your ride." She heard Li Qiang from behind her and groaned inwardly.
Turning around she almost beg, "Please… You are already doing too much for me, anymore then you will make me feel even guiltier than I am already feeling. Please, I already feel indebted to you."
Bowing she turned on her heels as if hellhounds were chasing her, as she got away from their sight of view she changed her path…
