Towards these words, Si Luoming could only laugh it off.
"Luoming, can you accompany me to the washroom? It seems to be over there. It's a bit dark, so I don't dare to go alone. " Su Qi pointed with her finger, and looked at Si Luoming with a pitiful expression, guessing that he would definitely accompany him.
"Alright." Si Luoming also did not look in the direction she pointed, and agreed without a second word. His face was still expressionless, cold and indifferent.
Su Qi walked into the washroom, with Si Luoming standing guard outside.
"Ah …" Su Qi's scream came out from the washroom.
Hearing that, Si Luoming immediately rushed in, his face had a look of worry, his sharp eyebrows knitted together, he asked worriedly: "What happened?"
Su Qi's beautiful face paled, she still had a lingering fear in her, and she spoke with a bit of a stutter. There are mice... I'm so scared. "
Thinking that something big had happened, Si Luoming secretly heaved a sigh of relief upon learning of the situation. He recovered his previous expression and coldly said, "It's just a mouse, nothing to be surprised about."
"I... I know, but I've been afraid of that since I was a kid. " Su Qi's voice was like a fly's, almost tearing up.
"Since it's fine, then let's go. Maybe a snake will appear later."
Si Luoming was the first to leave, but Su Qi still had lingering fear in her heart. She quickly followed Si Luoming and observed her surroundings to see if there were any other animals that she was afraid of.
Li Jingzhi was left coldly at the side. She didn't even want to go there, as her mood began to turn gloomy.
Just then, a fat headed man holding a wine cup walked towards Li Jingzhi.
"You are Li Jingzhi, right? Would you like to have a drink with me? " The man's eyes were fixed on Li Jingzhi's chest. Her clothes were similar to a V-neck, revealing her faintly discernible fair skin and a groove.
"I'm sorry, I don't know you, so there's no need to drink." Li Jingzhi rejected him bluntly, she did not hide the contempt in his eyes at all, and when she noticed the look in his eyes, she even cursed at this wretched man from the bottom of her heart.
The man snorted coldly, his eyes full of disdain for Li Jingzhi, as though he thought that he did not know how to appreciate favors.
"Aren't you Si Luoming's mistress? "Why are you pretending to be tall? Your face and figure are pretty good. I'll give you three hundred thousand, how about you sleep with me for the night?" The man revealed his true goal, and didn't beat around the bush when he spoke, and directly insulted Li Jingzhi.
Right after she finished speaking, Li Jingzhi picked up the red wine on the table beside him, and splashed it onto his face without mercy. She said furiously, "You … This is too much! "
The man did not expect Li Jingzhi to do this, his expression changed greatly. He wiped the red wine on his face with one hand, and raised his hand high up, as if he was about to give Li Jingzhi a slap on the face.
Li Jingzhi closed her eyes, her eyelashes still trembling, ready to be beaten.
A strong hand held onto the man's hand. The man was about to curse, but after seeing the other party's face, he swallowed his words back.
It was Si Luoming. Fury surfaced in his eyes, and his slightly narrowed eyes seemed very dangerous to a man.
"Director Zhang, what happened? You want to hit her?"
Hearing Si Luoming's voice, Li Jingzhi dared to open her eyes, to see Si Luoming holding CEO Zhang's hand, the two of them had furious expressions.
"It was her who splashed my red wine first!" Director Zhang pointed at Li Jingzhi, and said fiercely.
Obviously, he wasn't willing to tell Si Luoming that he was the one who spoke rudely.
The next second, Director Zhang forcefully asked, "Who are you to him? Do you want to speak up for her?"
Li Jingzhi did not want to make things difficult for Si Luoming, so she reacted quickly and was the first to speak, "I am his friend."
It was obvious that he wanted to embarrass Si Luoming. He was a senior in the business world, and was also Si Luoming's business opponent, how could he not seize this opportunity to embarrass Si Luoming?
Coincidentally, Zhou Jin was walking over. He had taken in the scene just now and wrapped his arm around Li Jingzhi's waist. His expression was calm as he said to CEO Zhang, "I'm her boyfriend."
As these words came out, Si Luoming's face darkened. Thinking that Zhou Jin had helped Li Jingzhi, he felt relieved.
"I just saw Director Zhang talking to my girlfriend first, then she got angry and spilled wine on you. You must have said something that she loathed before she did that, right?" Zhou Jin squinted his eyes and asked.
"This …" CEO Zhang felt guilty, because Zhou Jin was right. He stopped talking for a long time.
Li Jingzhi was not afraid of provoking Chief Zhang, she was not a person that could be easily bullied, and said with certainty: "Indeed, it was Chief Zhang who said something to humiliate me, and that's why I did it."
Zhou Jin knew that this CEO Zhang was fighting over a piece of land and had even mentioned his weakness.
Just as Chief Zhang was about to leave, Zhou Jin felt that it was still necessary to apologize to him, so he said with a sincere face, "Just now, my girlfriend spilled wine all over you, and since she was brought here by me, I have to apologize. Sorry, I hope you don't take this to heart."
Before leaving, he said respectfully, "I also have something wrong with you, so I will definitely not take it to heart. I still have things to attend to, so I will leave first, and we will meet again another day."
Watching Director Zhang gradually disappear from the banquet, Li Jingzhi heaved a sigh of relief. She was very grateful to Si Luoming for blocking that slap for her.
If not for him, her face would have been completely swollen by now. She was also very grateful to Zhou Jin for saving her.
However, the bitterness in his heart could not be wiped away.
"Thank you." Li Jingzhi revealed a smile, "If it wasn't for you, I wouldn't have been able to escape this calamity." She was thanking him earnestly, but to Si Luoming, she sounded like she was ridiculing him.
"What did Director Zhang say to you?" Si Luoming looked at Li Jingzhi, frowned and asked seriously.
Li Jingzhi didn't even dare look at him anymore, she could only look elsewhere. She felt embarrassed and lowered her head, like a child who had made a mistake, and said softly, "He offered a high price for me to sleep with him, and said that I am his mistress."
Hearing this, Su Qi's lips raised into an almost imperceptible sneer, wasn't it just a mistress?
Si Luoming rubbed between his eyebrows and said helplessly, "Alright, I understand."
With guilt in his heart, in the end, it was still his fault. He owed Li Jingzhi too much, so it was impossible to make up for it.
But he also insisted on taking such an extreme path, leaving her by his side.
Zhou Jin did not want Li Jingzhi to stay any longer, he had heard of the rumors, and was afraid that even more things would happen, he only wanted to protect Li Jingzhi, and did not want her to be harmed, so he wanted to take her away.
"Come with me." Zhou Jin treated Si Luoming as transparent, and his eyes were filled with tenderness for Li Jingzhi, which only belonged to her.
