“Uncle Jiang, to tell you the truth, because of a small mistake, I lost all my wages for a whole month and I was fired by the restaurant.”
“I know that you are so kind. If you kick me away, where am I going to live? Please, Uncle Jiang! Or, how about letting me do the laundry or the house cleaning or the cooking for you? All for free! I will pay all the rent for you after I raise enough money, without giving you a cent less. I will definitely find a job as soon as possible. And I will also borrow some from my friends. Would you be so kind as to give me a few days’ grace, please?”
“Uncle Jiang, please!”
A woman without money is no woman at all. Keeping pleading, Xia Xiaoluo was on the edge to kneel down to the landlord.
At the door, Ling Tianyi understood the whole thing, guessing that he was also responsible for Xia Xiaoluo when the landlord bring troubles to her. If he would have kindly reminded her yesterday, she could have sent the takeout on time. There would be no such trouble. Meanwhile, at the thought of her refusal to accept his ¥10 million despite becoming a homeless beggar, Ling Tianyi found this stubborn little girl was a person of some integrity.
“Xiaoluo, I am not an unreasonable man. But, you know, I have been divorced for many years, so I am very lonely. Be together with me, then you won’t need to pay me the rent anymore. You can live here as long as you want to. Besides, I will also buy pretty clothes for you…” said the Landlord in a more and more kind and pleasant way. But the libidinous smile of him scared Xia Xiaoluo.
At the sight of the landlord’s intention to give her a bearhug, Xia Xiaoluo dodged aside quickly, saying “No, Uncle Jiang. I will borrow money tomorrow and pay the rent soon.”
“A pack of lies! Your rent has been delayed for half a month. No money for the rent, then pay me with your body!” said the landlord while he brought Xia Xiaoluo down by force, intending to kiss her on her fair and tender face with the stink of alcohol and cigarettes in his mouth.
Xia Xiaoluo was too desperate for tears. How could she have such bad luck! Who could come to help her?
Ling Tianyi ran out of patience and kicked the door open in a great fury. Though he was coming to take “revenge” on Xia Xiaoluo, he would never allow anyone else to bully his little girl. The little girl could only be bullied by himself.
“Who are you, stinky? Get out! Don’t sabotage me!” said the landlord in evil spirits. On hearing that, Xia Xiaoluo seemed to see a glimmer of hope. But her feelings were mixed at the sight of the one who came to save her, because he is the same person who had raped her last night.
“You shameless old bastard!” said Ling Tianyi. After that, he beat the landlord black and blue and kicked him out of the room. The landlord crawled his way out for fear that his delayed reaction would cause another beating.
“What are you doing? Follow me!” Ling Tianyi dragged Xia Xiaoluo out of the room. Despite great reluctance, she could not manage to offer any resistance.
Opening the car door, Ling Tianyi said, “Get on.”
But Xia Xiaoluo remained where she was. In her eyes, the man in front of her was also a bastard who had raped her last night, and is as evil as the landlord who just bullied her. Xia Xiaoluo did not want to jump into the fire when she was just out of the frying pan.
“What? Wanna find that old goat?” said Ling Tianyi crossly. Biting her lip, Xia Xiaoluo said, “You’re no better than him. You are both bad guys, old goats, both of whom bullied me…”
There was a disdainful look on Ling’s face. What was she talking about? How ignorant of her failing to recognize him of importance and great stature.
Ling Tianyi, ranked the No.1 eligible bachelor in City A. How could she call him “old goat”, such a bad name? What’s more, she dared compare him to the bald, dirty, old fool having a big beer belly.
Besieged with grievances, Xia Xiaoluo could not help crouching down and crying. Ling Tianyi was helpless and at a loss, for what he was afraid of most was women’s tears. Moreover, in this shanty town where many people go to and fro, his luxury roadster was so eye-catching to arouse much attention. When Xia Xiaoluo was crying, much more heed was paid to them.
“Get on.” Enough of the attention from the crowd of onlookers, Ling Tianyi put Xia Xiaoluo into the co-driver seat by force and he drove to leave this impoverished district where he should not have come for one second.
“Hey, where do you want to take me to?”“You psycho! Stop!”“Stop, or I’ll jump off!”Shouting at the co-driver seat, Xia Xiaoluo acted like an iron girl. Ling Tianyi frowned, glancing at the little girl next to him and saying, “Wanna jump off my car? I am afraid you aren’t able to do that, for I have locked all the doors. By the way, little girl, can’t you act like a lady when talking to me?”“S-t-o-p!” continuing to shout at him, Xia Xiaoluo tried to pull the door but in vain.“You won’t be able to find your way even if I let you off my car now. But it’s impossible for me to save you once again if you meet with any bad guy.” said Ling Tianyi in a cynical voice. “Ahhhh, you rotten bastard!” At the thought of what had happened to her last night, Xia Xiaoluo shook her fist at him. “Ouch!” Braking sharply, Ling Tianyi stopped the car on the roadside. Due to inertia, however, Xia
Xia Xiaoluo trembled all over her body, feeling that she would come to a bad end as being bullied by this devil. Tears came to her eyes and the desperate expression was found on her face. She could not endure the pressure anymore with her head down and losing her consciousness. “Hey, wake up!” Ling Tianyi slapped her pinky and fair cheek and then touched her forehead. “Shit! So hot! Got a fever right at this moment.” Twenty minutes later, a limited-edition Lamborghini Hermes-edition roadster stopped at the front gate of St. Mary Private Hospital. A well-dressed and extremely handsome man took a young lady to the emergency room in arms. “President Ling, rest assured! She just got a common fever.” said a doctor in a very polite way, since no one would be impolite to Ling Tianyi. It is because he had the biggest share of all the stocks of the hospital. “When could she leave the hospital?” Ling Tianyi asked in a cool
In the early morning, the ward was quiet. A few glares were shining through the window with everything in this room shrouded in the tender and soft morning light. Xia Xiaoluo turned over and opened her eyes, suddenly finding an enlarged face in front of her. She was just startled. “Woke up?” Ling Tianyi naturally touched her forehead in an indifferent way and said, “Emm…not burning up yet. The drip was helpful.”“What…what happened to me?” Xia Xiaoluo felt her throat was dry and painful while trying to speak any words. “You got a fever up to 39°C. It’s me who sent you to the hospital.” Raising his eyebrows, Ling Tianyi showed a pondering smile, waiting for Xia Xiaoluo’s grateful words. Thanks to her dry throat, however, Xia Xiaoluo was unable to speak out any word. Let alone speak to the bad guy who had bullied her. One minute passed by silently,but Ling Tianyi did not hear any word of gratitude that
Xia Xiaoluo insisted on leaving while the head nurse pleaded, saying that “Miss Xia, Mr. Ling had told us to make you have a good rest here. I am responsible for taking care of you. If I let you leave without official permission, I will then be fired. I have been working here for seven years to be selected as the head nurse, so I can’t lose this job. I beg you, please!”There was a pitiful look on the head nurse’s face begging for mercy in her eyes.Xia Xiaoluo was fired by Yin Meng Western-style Restaurant, so she could understand the head nurse’s situation. As the saying goes “Do not impose on others what you yourself do not desire”. Xia Xiaoluo curled her lips and sat down on the sofa, for she was never a cruel person.Then the head nurse quickly turned on the TV and handed the remote control onto Xia Xiaoluo’s hand, saying that “Miss Xia, how about watching TV? And what would you like to drink? I’ll get it ready for you.” “I a
Wearing in the hospital gown of St. Mary Private Hospital, Xia Xiaoluo walked on a less bustling street, but the rate of second glance was still very high. She really wanted to go back to her rented room for clothing change. But at the thought of the libidinous landlord, she gave it up. Idling on the street, Xia Xiaoluo had no other way than to ask for help from Dou Ya, her best friend. However, she knew that Dou Ya was also in trouble, for she lived with her uncle and her aunt from childhood. Dou Ya’s father passed away when she was a little girl and then her mother left her and remarried. Besides, Dou Ya’s uncle and aunt disliked her, regarding her as a burden. Yesterday in the western-style restaurant, Dou Ya offended the manager in order to prevent him from firing her. Consequently, both of them were fired. Having a terribly guilty conscience to Dou Ya, Xia Xiaoluo did not have the courage to disturb her again.“Job advertisement!” Glanc
In the VIP ward of St. Mary’s Private Hospital, an important patient was lost. The entire hospital went crazy at this, and almost half of the medical staff were on the street looking for Xia Xiaoluo, a patient who was sent by the major shareholder.Ling Tianyi and the deputy mayor had had lunch and chatted for a while, reaching an agreement of intention. He originally wanted to invite the deputy mayor to play golf but he received a call from the Director of the hospital.Ling Tianyi’s heart was going to burst, for he never thought that the little woman was so bold that she didn’t take his words seriously. He must immediately catch the disobedient chit and teach her a lesson.He arranged the company’s vice president Zhao Kaide and his trusted assistant Chu Wei to accompany the deputy mayor and his party. After a few words, Ling Tianyi left Jinqiao Business Center.Then he came to the hospital and replayed all the surveillance videos
Hously Hotel would be opened soon. The recruitment for administrative staff had already been ended before, and the recruitment for waiters was in great demand. Xia Xiaoluo and Dou Ya both successfully passed the interview. The two were excited, for Hously Hotel had staff quarters, and they were assigned to the same one.“We’ve passed the first test, but then there’ll be a seven-day training. We shall not be discarded.” Dou Ya was elated. The hotel would be opened on next Friday. If they succeed in passing all the tests, they would be regarded as the veterans here and would be prioritized to get promotion and pay raise.“Duo Ya, this is not a summer job. If you pass the training and appraisal, you’ll sign a formal contract. Are you sure you won’t go to college?” Xia Xiaoluo suddenly asked seriously. They participated in the college entrance examination in June, and their results would come out in a few days. Xia Xiaoluo was not good at studying. Neither coul
“No bullshit. Get to the point, or I’ll withdraw my promise for giving you my ‘Lightning’.” Ling Tianyi had no time to waste. He knew that Yao was a “bad friend”; if his attitude was not tough, Yao would speak nonsense forever like Monk Tang in the film The Chinese Odyssey.Yao Sheng had long loved that BMW and immediately cut into the point, “Xia Xiaoluo has been hired as a waiter today in Hously Hotel which is under your Huasheng Group. Just now, she and her friend were having spicy hot pot in the roadside food stand next to the hotel.t Then they went back. From 6 to 9 of tonight is the training time for new employees. I took some photos and sent them to you. You can check it out on your mailbox. Of course I would never make mistakes because I am the prototype of Holmes.”Ling Tianyi listened to the phone while parking on the side of the road. He then turned on the on-board computer and checked the photos, on which Xia Xiaoluo was eating spicy hot pot wi
