Chapter 25 Do you think I'm Xu Shen? So many people have slept with you...

Qi Ying is not used to video calls with people. He chose to video call Li Su only because he had never seen her before and was afraid that he would not recognize her.

But Li Su did not hang up, which surprised him.

He picked up Li Su and drove her to the restaurant. When he saw Li Su getting off the car, she habitually held up the strap of her bag with one hand to avoid it from cutting into her curves. His curiosity about her once again went to another extreme.

She has a good figure, which does not match her pure facial features and beautiful curves.

She is carrying a Chanel CF, which is more expensive than her entire outfit, just a fraction of the bag. It doesn't seem like she can afford it.

What's going on? Li Su, mysterious Li Su.

Qi Ying followed Li Su and walked into the restaurant chosen by Li Su. The retro hollow carved door, the service staff in suits, and the dim light created a strong atmosphere.

Li Su, who was wearing a cold orange color, was ordering food, her fingertips flying, her manners confident, and she was clearly well prepared and had done her homework.

Liao sea cucumbers stewed with 30-year-old tangerine peel in Dongjia, and large yellow croakers steamed in tender and delicious gravy. Salt-roasted marbled beef that melted in the mouth, as well as a trio of roasted meats and sashimi, plus classic pineapple buns.

Li Su ordered quickly, and her every move was generous and comfortable, making people feel comfortable.

The page jumped to the payment page, and she entered the password without hesitation for an order of 2,000 yuan.

Li Su raised her head again, turned the phone screen away, and looked at Qi Ying politely.

"Teacher Qi." Li Su's eyes curved and he smiled sweetly, "I have ordered the dishes. Just treat it as a blind box and try some. If you don't like it, we can order more and make sure it's delicious, okay?"

Qi Ying nodded gratefully, "Thank you for your trouble."

They suddenly faced each other. Looking at the completely unfamiliar Li Su, as the one with more experience and more say, he thought for a moment and took the initiative to break the ice: "Just call me Qi Ying."

"This...is this okay? Then I would definitely like it, but..." Li Su hesitated and tried to ask in a joking tone: "Will it make me seem like I am ignoring my seniors and being impolite?" 

Qi Ying's smile was always gentlemanly and warm. He said lightly: "That depends on whether you want to be friends with me, or just interact with me at work. Between friends, calling you teacher is a bit teasing." 

"That's right." Li Su replied naturally, tilted her head, and called out: "Qi Ying, Qi Ying, Qi Ying, you don't mind me calling you a few more times, do you? I have to get used to making friends with my idol." 

"Puff——" Qi Ying breathed out, as if speechless and helpless, but the smile in his eyes deepened. 

He leaned closer, catching the expression on Li Su's face, and asked curiously: "Do you really admire me?" 

"..." Li Su almost broke down. Resisting the urge to retreat. 

She soon laughed again and said carelessly: "You found out all this? Well, I am actually quite superficial. Compared with your creative talent, I am first of all your fan of looks." 

Flattery never wears out. 

Li Su praised with a strong sense of faith. Seeing Qi Ying retreating, his shoulders shaking with laughter, she didn't care what he was laughing at. Anyway, she just laughed along. 

"Okay. Passersby fans are also fans." Qi Ying nodded and said naturally: "But in this line of work, people have heard too much flattery and are a little numb. You, my friend, I still hope you can be honest with me." 

Li Su's heart was shaken, and he was very touched by this sentence. He also suddenly felt unfamiliar with himself who was slippery in every social relationship. 

"I will." Li Su nodded solemnly, staring into Qi Ying's eyes, and said very seriously: "Isn't it easy to tell the truth? Qi Ying, I will." 

"Telling the truth is actually the most difficult." Qi Ying almost blurted it out, and felt that the tone was a bit serious. He changed his tone and said self-deprecatingly: "After all, I didn't say that I can listen humbly and will not get angry." 

"..." Li Su and Qi Ying looked at each other, stunned for a long time, and laughed at the same time. 

Li Su: "You are quite good at bluffing." 

Qi Ying: "Thank you, thank you." 

Trying, little by little, they crossed the social cordon of each other, and got along well, forming a peaceful situation. 

The perfect start made Li Su's overwhelmed and cold thoughts gradually relax. 

Until a drunken voice came from behind unexpectedly and straight. 

"Li Su? Li Su——" The voice was getting closer and closer behind. 

Li Su turned her head to see. He was not tall, with a broad waist, a round belly, and cloudy eyes due to years of lust. Ah——she really hadn't seen this person for some time. 

"Brother Liu, be careful." The one guarding Liu Jia was a brand new child, a not very familiar face, as young and beautiful as ever. 

The girl tried to help Liu Jia, but Liu Jia mercilessly pushed her away. He muttered vaguely: "I'm not drunk, don't bother me." 

It was only eight o'clock, and Li Su didn't expect Liu Jia to be drunk. Her mouth corners were slightly curved, and she smiled politely and distantly, and greeted him indifferently: "Brother Liu." 

Liu Jia sneered and said with a grudge: "Li Su, you are very boring. I have asked you out so many times, but you are unwilling to have a meal with me. You have time to eat with others? It seems that my face is not big enough." 

This is even more boring. The last time they had dinner, Liu Jia's bossing her around was still vivid in her mind. She knew very well: Liu Jia treated women like commodities and objects, and only thought about his lower body. 

Anyone who didn't have a donkey's hoof in his brain would not go again. 

What's more, Xu Shen had helped her splash him. She was actually more afraid that Liu Jia would bear a grudge and wait for an opportunity to retaliate. 

She remembered Zhang Youqing's words again: No one is protecting you, I'm afraid you will become someone else's dish on the table again. 

And that sentence: Sooner or later you will understand what I mean. 

Li Su did not respond, with a smile on his face, looking decent, but his eyes were full of coldness. 

Qi Ying quickly saw the clues and understood Li Su's attitude. He stood up, blocked in front of Li Su, and patted Liu Jia on the shoulder. 

"What did Mr. Liu say? Between friends, you skip a meal and you get jealous?" Holding Liu Jia, he tried to lead him to the door, saying polite words: "I'll treat you next time, okay?" 

"Don't touch me!" Liu Jia shook his shoulders and pushed Qi Ying away. 

His eyes were still looking for Li Su, and he saw that Li Su was still standing there, looking down at the water cup on the table. He seemed to be obediently leaning aside, but in fact his back was straight, and he would rather break than bend. 

Liu Jia was so angry that she simply took two steps back and pointed at Li Su's nose and cursed: "You stinky bitch, don't you think I don't know what kind of person you are? So many people have slept with you, and you still pretend to be noble in front of me? Do you think I'm Xu Shen?" 

Li Su grabbed the water cup and poured it over without hesitation. 

"Bang——" Faster than her movement was Qi Ying's fist. With a straight punch, Liu Jia was hit hard and flew out. She staggered and fell to the ground. 

Qi Ying's fist was clenched and hung at his side. He took a few steps forward and still stood in front of Li Su.
With gentle features, even anger seemed too gentle. He looked at Liu Jia and warned, "Liu Jia, if you say anything nonsense again, don't blame me for being rude."

"Brother Liu, Brother Liu!" The girl was frightened and hurried to help Liu Jia. Several waiters also rushed over to help him up.

"Are you really going to do it?" Liu Jia covered his purple face and cursed angrily.

The pain made him sober up a lot. He looked at Qi Ying standing in front of Li Su and felt that it was unreasonable.

Xu Shen left, and Qi Ying came again. How could Li Su be so good at making people love potions?

"Li Su!" Liu Jia pointed at Li Su and called her name viciously like hammering a nail.

Li Su, who was still holding the empty water cup, slowly came to her senses. She put down the cup in her hand without paying attention, took out the paper towel on the table, threw it on the ground, and stepped on the paper from far to near to wipe the water marks.

After the floor was wiped dry, she raised her hand and communicated with the waiter: "Can someone come and take care of it? Be careful that passers-by don't slip."

"Sorry." The waiter came to his senses, came over with tools, and hurried to clean up.

"Sorry for the trouble." Li Su apologized softly.

"Li Su!" Liu Jia called her again, and his tone could not hide his anger.

Li Su paid attention to him this time. She turned her head, her eyes were cold and straight, and she looked at him fearlessly, indescribably brave and indescribably noble.

"Liu Jia." Li Su didn't call him Brother Liu anymore. She walked out, passed Qi Ying's protection in front of her, and walked to the center of the distance openly.

"There are surveillance cameras here. If you need to call the police, I will call for you." Li Su pulled up the corners of her mouth and smiled ironically. "You can sue us for violence, and I can sue you for sexual harassment, defamation, and disturbing public order. I can do both." "

Of course, I know that whatever I do, you can handle it with your strength, and you are not afraid of my revenge. But if I cause you trouble and annoyance, you will not have a good time if I get tired of it. - You should understand, right? According to our grievances, I have mixed into this circle, and I must have met some of your mortal enemies."

"..." Liu Jia didn't expect Li Su to dare to say these words to him. She was obviously a pitiful person like duckweed, but she refused to stay in a position of relying on others.

What did she rely on? Xu Shen? Qi Ying? Or Zheng Ting? Forget Zheng Ting, no one is afraid of him.

Liu Jia pursed his lips, but no sound came out. - Not to mention others, he himself is a person who is very influenced by pillow talk.

He thought of Li Su's style and reputation in the underworld. ——When screenwriter Zhang asked her out, she said she had an appointment with General Manager Liu. When General Manager Liu asked her out, she said she was with Director Qi. It was strange that there was always someone with a bigger presence, and she was the one who was pulled out to block the wind.

Everyone was very unhappy. When asked, they all admitted that they had slept with each other. They tried to check Li Su's excuses, but they couldn't find any flaws. They were so mixed up that they didn't know her background at all.

But Li Su's attitude really didn't seem like she was not protected.

Liu Jia was not sure.

"Liu Jia, go to the hospital first. I will be responsible if anything happens." Qi Ying spoke up to ease the situation. With an attitude that would not allow any more excuses, he forcefully asked the waiter to see the guest off, "Help her up and help her get downstairs safely."

"Uh, uh, okay." After the store manager nodded quietly, several waiters carried Liu Jia away.

Qi Ying turned to look at Li Su. Her complexion was not good, her lips were pale, and her eyes were heavy, as if she was dull under some kind of emotion. That was her self-protection, covered with a hard shell.

It is difficult to comment on Li Su's counterattack today, but one thing is certain: she is not a coward.

"Are you okay?" Qi Ying felt a little reluctant. Every word of Liu Jia was unbearable to hear. A girl must feel uncomfortable being humiliated like this in public.

"Not bad." Li Su pretended to be relaxed and said, "I loved to use this trick when I was in high school."

"Which trick?"

"Complaining." Li Su seemed to have thought of something and smiled, "By the way, Qi Ying, do you know who Liu Jia's mortal enemy is?"

"Don't you know?"

"Well, I lied to him." Li Su smiled gently and said naturally, "Let's start doing homework now. - To be honest, I didn't know he hated me so much. What am I?"

Li Su became more real little by little. Qi Ying once thought she was a simple person, but now he felt that she was not a simple person.

A narrow mirror on the decorative wall reflected this bizarre world.

Qi Ying saw them in the mirror, two phantoms standing far away.

He thought of his first meeting with Li Su. The first time he met Li Su was also in the elevator.

He looked straight ahead. The elevator door was like a lake. They were hazy in the lake, standing at the farthest ends of the diagonal, separated by a clear distance.
