Chapter 6 Some pain must be returned tenfold 03
"Protect Mr. Ji!" The old man's assistant saw his boss being beaten and shouted to the two security guards wearing sunglasses standing nearby. They didn't expect to be attacked here, and they didn't have enough manpower.
When the other thugs saw Lin Jiaxuan taking action, they all rushed forward to fight. But Lin Jiaxuan's goal was very clear. He didn't bother with the others too much, and his fist was aimed directly at the old man surnamed Ji. However, Ji's assistant was always protecting him closely, shouting "Help", so Lin Jiaxuan couldn't get close to him.
Lin Jiaxuan, with red eyes, threw another punch, and the assistant yelled "Ouch", and his nose started bleeding. The scene was very scary. I was stunned on the spot.
"Someone come! Something happened!" someone exclaimed.
"Lin Jiaxuan, stop it!" July shouted, her lips trembling, her breathing rapid, and her face pale.
I saw Sister Hong coming over after hearing the noise.
The music paused, hurried footsteps were heard, the headlights came on, and thugs appeared one after another. Within a few minutes, they pinned the troublemakers to the ground.
A thug with a dragon painted on his arm asked respectfully, "Sister Hong, how do we deal with these people?"
"Except for those two, throw the others out. If it happens again, don't show mercy." Sister Hong frowned and pointed at the old man and Lin Jiaxuan.
"July, I did this for you, old pervert." Lin Jiaxuan's face was pale, and his unwilling eyes were filled with anger.
"Are you done yet? This has happened so many times! I told you to stay out of my business." July's impatience and disgust made Lin Jiaxuan's eyes darken.
Sister Hong looked at Lin Jiaxuan sharply, walked straight towards him, and with a crisp "pa" sound, she slapped Lin Jiaxuan hard on the cheek. Lin Jiaxuan stared at her in disbelief.
"This slap is for myself. You always come here to cause trouble and ruin my business. I won't let you off so easily next time."
After saying that, Sister Hong slapped him again with her backhand, making her steps a little unsteady. Her eyes were filled with anger and majesty: "This slap is for Xiao Qi. I have never seen a bastard like you who is entangled, impulsive and brainless!"
Sister Hong swept the wine bottle off the table next to her with a flick of her sleeves: "Get out now!"
Lin Jiaxuan didn't listen to Sister Hong's words and stared at July.
"I told you to get out!" July shouted.
Lin Jiaxuan straightened his back, looked stern, and walked straight to the door. When he heard Sister Hong and Qiyue whispering apologies to President Ji, he looked back unwillingly.
A few minutes later, President Ji's men arrived at the scene. Judging from the situation, if Lin Jiaxuan and the others were there, they would definitely suffer a lot.
It was Sister Hong who saved him.
I walked to July and July gave me a bitter smile.
"I know you have a lot of questions in your mind, but I don't want to talk about them now." There was helplessness in her eyes.
I nodded: "Let's go back first." After that, I helped her pack the things she wanted to take.
July took me to the parking lot. She took out her car keys and a red Mercedes-Benz beeped twice.
"Bought a car?" I looked at her with a smile.
"Sister Hong gave it to me." She helped me open the passenger door. After I sat in, she walked around to the front of the car, opened the door, got in, and backed the car out.
"Someone also said that the number of times he received salary was less than the number of times he contributed money." I smelled the fresh perfume inside and felt refreshed.
"Yeah, so you gave me a car." She chuckled.
I gave her a thumbs up.
"Are you still smoking?" I was worried about her bad voice. Singing is hard on the voice. When my mother was in the hospital, July stopped smoking for a while. I don't know how she is now.
"I quit." She looked down , and I saw a box of chewing gum on the shelf in the car.
"Have you really quit chewing gum?" I picked up the gum, took out a piece and put it in her mouth, then chewed one myself.
"Hey, girl, you don't believe me? I'll tickle you..." She stretched out her right hand and tickled my armpit.
"I believe it, I believe it. Drive carefully and don't make trouble." I saw her drop the steering wheel with one hand and quickly raised her hands in surrender.
"Lin Jiaxuan is hanging out with gangsters, I can't control him. He makes several incidents like today every month." July suddenly talked about Lin Jiaxuan seriously. I pursed my lips and nodded.
"It's okay, you don't have to explain to me. After all, it's his business." I was telling the truth. When I took him away from the billiard room that time, I knew that he and I would be like today.
Gradually drifting apart, finally becoming strangers.
"That makes things easy." July looked ahead. The pedestrians in the night sky looked like tuna.
"What do you mean?" I looked at her.
"If I hadn't considered you, I would have been rude to him a long time ago. You little bastard, you really think you are so awesome." July cursed angrily.
"Hehe..." I rolled down the car window and reached out my hand, trying to grab a handful of the quickly disappearing wind. But when I opened my hand, there was naturally nothing.
Today, I find that I seem to have nothing in my hands.
"Hurry up and bring it in! You're going so fast, the car that passes by will cut off your claws." July said this while loosening his foot on the accelerator and slowing down the car.
"Yes, sir." I obediently reached back my hand, spit out the chewing gum, wrapped it in paper, and put it in the trash can in the car. Then I took a piece of paper and asked July to spit out her chewing gum as well.
"July, it's great to have you as a friend." I leaned back in my chair and couldn't help but say.
"Don't be hypocritical."
"real."
After listening to me, she didn't say anything for a long time. The midnight wind blew on her neck and face. She stared blankly at the red light ticking. I was too lazy to wait, so I closed my eyes and dozed off, almost falling asleep.
The red number jumped to zero, the green light came on, she stepped on the accelerator and sped away. I heard her voice mixed with the engine noise, pouring into my ears with the wind -
"Me too."
I slept at July's house for a few nights. Zhuangnan moved to the school to study painting, so July was usually away, so I was the only one left at home .
When I'm alone at home, I always have nightmares. What Xue Ye did is like a tattoo on my soul. Every time I dream about it, I feel unbearable pain and can't sleep all night.
Although I returned to City C a month in advance, the school was about to have summer vacation, so there was little point in me going back, so I studied at home. The school heard about my family situation and promised that as long as I passed the make-up exam at the beginning of the school year, I would not have to repeat the grade.
Qiyue didn't want to cause trouble for Sister Hong's store, so she changed her job to another place. That place was closer to my home. In order to make it easier for her to travel, I asked Qiyue to live in my house, because I was afraid of being alone anyway.
After helping Shen Huai run the flower shop for two months, I learned a lot about growing flowers and plants by asking questions and learning on my own. When I had nothing to do on weekdays, I bought some flower seeds suitable for early summer and planted flowers in the yard.
One day, I went to a bookstore to buy a book about flower cultivation. I saw a restaurant about 20 minutes from home looking for summer workers, so I decided to go and take a look. I didn't expect to be hired right away.
July said I was stupid, saying that a college student getting hired as a waiter was nothing to be proud of. But even so, I was still very happy in my heart, because being self-reliant was something to be proud of.
Furthermore, I wanted to distract myself from thinking about things that were hard to forget.
After that, I went to work at 9 am and left work at 8 pm every day. In the morning, I had an hour to make breakfast for July, and in the evening, I had two hours to fiddle with the flowers and plants. In the evening, when it was quiet, I read at my desk.
My time is fully scheduled.
