When Shi Aoju ca back just now, she was so nervous that she didn’t know where to put her hands and feet, afraid that he would see her.
"Look at how scared you are." Qi Jingren observed her reaction from the mirror, "The Shi Family is heavily guarded; you probably can’t get out usually, right?"
"Yeah." Su Jiuyi said, "The last two tis I went out with Shi Aoju."
"He’s also worried about your safety, especially after what happened." Qi Jingren said.
Su Jiuyi was startled, "You know?"
Her reaction left Qi Jingren a bit puzzled, "Haven’t I always known about the incident where you were almost shot?"
So that’s what she was talking about...
Su Jiuyi breathed a sigh of relief, she thought it was about that night. After all, such things, even with close friends, are embarrassing to talk about.
"Wait a minute." Su Jiuyi thought of sothing, "How am I going to get back later? If Shi Aoju finds out I snuck out, he’ll use it as an excuse to make do all the dirty and heavy work..."
"If worst cos to worst, just don’t go back. I’ll get you a room at Ciaos, and tomorrow morning I’ll send you back when Shi Aoju leaves the house. How about that?" Qi Jingren planned.
"Let’s see how it goes. If there’s no other choice, that’ll have to do."
Ciaos was still as lively as ever, full of neon lights and music, having not been there for a few days, Su Jiuyi realized she missed this place.
"How are those security guards from last ti?" She suddenly rembered the guards she implicated outside the surveillance room.
"Thanks to you, they never dare to drink alcohol or play cards during work hours anymore. The manager established a set of rules and trained them on how to handle ergencies, and they all learned a lot."
"Oh, that’s good."
Thinking about the situation from that day, Su Jiuyi still felt a bit jittery and uneasy.
Looking at Qi Jingren beside her, she suddenly rembered how fearless she was that day. No wonder, even if she dismantled the whole of Ciaos, no one could do anything to her.
"Lately, Xiao Chen seems to have caught the attention of so big boss, I heard he talked his way into a cross-national cooperative project, and now he’s on cloud nine." Qi Jingren shared the latest gossip in the hallway, "That’s why he’s been frequently showing up at Ciaos, supposedly talking business with different rchants every day."
"Hmm." Su Jiuyi said, "I’ll change into a waiter’s outfit later to serve him alcohol, he probably won’t recognize ."
"That’s what I think too. Oh, rember to keep your phone on and set my number as a shortcut. If we get separated or the bar gets too busy, call if anything urgent cos up. Don’t worry, I’ll keep tracking your location. Even if you can’t call, if you stay in one spot for too long, I’ll co find you." Qi Jingren explained simply.
Walking to the changing room, Qi Jingren took out her own clothes and handed a set to Su Jiuyi. She sighed and said, "Although I don’t know if your father will really force you two to get engaged, I hope this man isn’t as bad as we think. After all, it’s a nightclub, and it’s too common for drunken people to harass waitstaff. Maybe what happened that day was a misunderstanding."
Leaning against the locker, Su Jiuyi said, "I didn’t tell you before because in that house, I’m an outsider. Su Manning is my half-sister, my stepmother treats terribly, and my father has never cared about . So that house and the identity of the Su Family’s eldest daughter an nothing to ."
