Chapter 139
Li Yanran's lips curved into a smirk. "Let's go stop him."
Yu Sheng chatted with everyone for a good few minutes before extricating himself and arriving at Li Yinnan's side.
Li Yinnan was surprised. "I thought you were busy, so I didn't tell you about Yanran's birthday today."
"I happen to be free tonight, so I came." The reason Yu Sheng came was because Li Yanran had told him that Li Zhen would be there tonight.
He turned his head and glanced around. "Where's Li Zhen?"
Li Yinnan was just about to answer when Li Yanran suddenly appeared behind Yu Sheng. "Brother Yu Sheng, my sister also brought a tall and handsome male colleague from her company today, but I don't know where the two of them went."
Yu Sheng's brows knitted for a fleeting moment. "I see."
Li Yanran stopped talking.
In her heart, however, she scoffed coldly. He was still defending Li Zhen now, but who knew what state Li Zhen was in after being messed with by that man!
She would see Yu Sheng's reaction later!
Li Yanran had given Yu Sheng a lead-in for now by mentioning Li Zhen brought a male colleague. Yu Sheng wouldn't immediately go looking for them.
She would take him to the room after a while.
Li Yinnan frowned. "What nonsense! Your sister didn't bring anyone!"
"Dad, you just didn't see it. Sister went out again after coming in and personally brought him back herself. The two seem quite close."
Yu Sheng's dark eyes sank as he glared at Li Yanran. "Bringing a friend home is no big deal. Don't speculate about her in that tone."
Li Yanran lowered her head and said no more.
In her heart, however, she scoffed coldly again. He was still defending Li Zhen now, but who knew what state Li Zhen was in after being messed with by that man!
She would see Yu Sheng's reaction later!
Li Yanran's phone suddenly rang. She walked aside and answered it.
Seeing it was Qu Hu, she lowered her voice. "What's up?"
Qu Hu's voice was very hoarse. "I'm done here. It's good."
Li Yanran was elated first.
Li Zhen who had been arrogant for so many years had finally fallen into her hands!
Let's see if Yu Sheng would still want her!
But in the next moment, she was taken aback. She looked at the time. "Just half an hour? Don't you want to enjoy her more?"
"No need. Enjoyed enough. You come up first. I think I made her bleed. I'm afraid Mr. Yu will see it and realize I forced her."
Li Yanran frowned. "You're too careless. Let me come up and see."
Half an hour ago.
As Qu Hu leaned down, just about to kiss Li Zhen, his neck was suddenly hooked by a fair, slender arm.
The next second, he felt the cold sensation of a blade against his throat.
Li Zhen abruptly opened her eyes, her clear eyes completely sober without the slightest blur. "The fruit knife in my hand is very sharp. Be careful, my good colleague!"
"Li...Li Zhen, you didn't drink the drug?" Qu Hu gaped in shock.
Li Zhen let out a cold humph.
Li Yanran and her ilk's acting was just too amateurish.
It was already suspicious that her arch-enemy suddenly wanted to bury the hatchet. Moreover, the servant who had been holding those three drinks and hovering around them clearly was just waiting for Li Yanran to take them.
She would have to be blind not to find anything fishy about this.
So under the guise of taking photos, she had switched her drink with Li Yanran's.
She had also secretly pocketed a fruit knife.
Just to find out what nasty scheme Li Yanran was plotting, she had played along until now.
Her efforts had not been in vain.
She had secretly recorded their earlier conversation.
When Qu Hu touched her hand, she was already thoroughly disgusted. Fortunately, he had only touched her twice before bringing his neck within reach of her arm.
"Li Zhen, let me go. Let's talk this through..." Qu Hu instinctively tried to break free, but as he moved, the blade pressed down an inch.
A sticky liquid seeped from his neck.
It was the blood from the cut the blade had made in his skin.
Qu Hu instantly dared not move again. "Be careful...don't get excited."
"I can't guarantee that, so you should be the careful one, not me. If you move again and I slit your throat, I won't be held accountable. After all, you wanted to rape me, so it would just be self-defense on my part." Li Zhen spoke calmly and unhurriedly.
Qu Hu shook in fear. No matter how big he was, he feared the cold blade. "I was wrong, Li Zhen. Let me go. I know I was wrong."
As soon as Qu Hu finished speaking, Li Zhen did let him go and got up to sit in a nearby chair.
"You actually hurt me!" But Qu Hu wiped the blood on his neck and his expression instantly darkened. "The moment you moved the knife away from my neck, you were destined to not get away tonight. Women really are foolish!"
He had lusted after this woman for years. Now that she was within reach, how could he let her go!
Qu Hu reached to grab the knife.
Li Zhen lazily took out her phone and dangled it in front of him, her expression calm without a hint of fear.
Qu Hu froze. His hand grabbing for the knife involuntarily halted. This was bad. His gaze fixed on the phone in her hand. "What's that?"
"It's my chat record with Xi Ya." Li Zhen slowly explained, "I sent her the recording of your conversation with them. Just this alone is enough to put you in jail for years."
Li Zhen was half telling the truth and half bluffing.
Li Zhen's gaze inadvertently swept over Qu Hu's bare lower body.
Outwardly, Li Zhen was calm, but inwardly, she was screaming!
Her eyes were dirty!
A surge of disgust instantly washed over her. Li Zhen used tremendous willpower to keep from vomiting.
Moreover, why were there men so inadequately sized!
Compared to him, Lu Yanming was freakishly well-endowed.
Li Zhen said in distaste, "Put your pants on first!"
Qu Hu was extremely obedient now. In just a few seconds he put them on, and hastily explained, "I've just liked you for too long. I really didn't intend to harm you, Li Zhen..."
Qu Hu paused briefly, and his voice even took on a moved tone. "You're a remarried woman now. Although you don't have a child, remarried women also have a hard time remarrying. My mother definitely wouldn't want me to marry you, but don't worry. As long as you work hard, make money from your hand modeling, and give our family a big fat son, I will definitely treat you well."
Li Zhen knitted her brows, laughed from anger, "So?"
"So my appearance in your life is to save you!" Qu Hu looked up at her, his gaze scorching. "I won't look down on you. My family bought me a two-bedroom apartment. I also have a car and over 78,000 yuan in savings. I will let you live a life envied by other women."
Li Zhen was rendered speechless by his words. She sincerely asked, "Could your brain have been smashed by a door?"
"What, you think my savings are too little?" Qu Hu finally heard the mockery in Li Zhen's words and asked harshly in irritation.
Li Zhen took a deep breath to stabilize her emotions, to prevent herself from being angered to death by the man's touching logic. "No, I think your intelligence is too little!"
