Chapter 924: late-night visitors.
Now, she did not have the chance to stop shi cai ning and su ran qing from getting closer. without hu tian yong, she was unfamiliar with this place. even if she was familiar with city s, cheng xue would not dare to openly invite people to harm her.
After all, cheng xue still had a certain degree of fear towards the li family. once li ting shen found out about her intentions, the cheng family would probably be in trouble.
Shi cai ning sat to the side and looked at su ran qing's brown eyes. she spoke seriously, "brother su, do you have anything you want to say to me?"
Su ran qing looked at her curiously. "cai ning, are we... an underground couple?"
Shi cai ning was extremely embarrassed and quickly shook her head. "no, we're not a couple. you said before that you invited me to travel with you because my cooking is very good."
"oh, i thought... we were an underground couple." su ran qing smiled and a trace of gentleness flashed in his eyes. "but other than you, i don't remember anyone else. it seems like you have a unique meaning to me."
Shi cai ning smiled generously. "that's right. you were injured because you were trying to save me. to you, this should be the first time you've been injured in your life, right?"
Su renqing did not bring this topic up. "your cooking is really good. i really couldn't eat just now. the food they cooked was too terrible."
Shi cai ning pursed her lips. she did not want to show off her cooking on purpose. she felt that su renqing felt bad for being injured for her, and his appetite had never been good. if she cooked, he could still eat more.
Once his injuries were healed, she would no longer be able to be his chef.
Shi cai ning sat inside for a while and found an excuse to leave. su renqing looked at shi cai ning's back with a dejected expression.
Cheng xue and the others were still outside, and shi cai ning received a call from chief li. chief li told shi cai ning that hu tianyong's injuries were not serious and had now been sent to the prison to await her appeal.
Shi cai ning was really not in the mood to deal with this matter right now. coincidentally, li ting shen had informed her that he had found a very famous lawyer in the country for her. the lawyer would handle this matter for her and would not let hu tian yong off easily.
"you don't have to worry about this matter. father won't let him off easily. also... the bodyguard that i hired for you will arrive at green lake town at 7 o'clock tomorrow. they will contact you at that time," li ting shen instructed from the other side.
Shi zining paused for a moment. she did not expect him to have his bodyguards rush over. he was probably afraid that something would happen to her again, right?
"yes, thank you, father."
Shi zining had never blamed su renqing, nor had she expressed her grievance in front of him. li tingshen still felt rather guilty.
"when you come back, i will get someone to send the child back," li tingshen said in a calm voice.
Shi zining's entire body trembled. a brilliant light shone in her eyes, "alright, father, you have to keep your word!"
"of course, you don't have to worry about me breaking my promise."
Shi cai ning's lips curled up sarcastically. did he not break his promise? previously, he had said that gu kuangen would earn 40 billion yuan in two years and that he would let gu kuangen marry her, but wasn't that breaking his promise again?
After tormenting herself for an entire afternoon, shi cai ning was also extremely hungry. she returned to the hotel and ate the food she had left behind before returning to her room to rest.
She took a quick shower and was so tired that she did not even want to dry her hair. however, she still managed to dry 60% of her hair and fell asleep on the bed.
The night light was still on in the room. shi cai ning's tired face looked so peaceful under the dim light.
The door was slowly opened.
