Chapter 185 They Came to the Door
Now that we've offended Madam Liu with her foul mouth, we can be even more unrestrained in our confrontations!
I didn't stand on ceremony with her either. "Are you talking about us? Then who are you, Mrs. Liu?"
"You're nothing but a bloodsucking worm clinging to Mr. Liu! Without Mr. Liu, what are you? How dare you talk about us like that!"
"Sharp-tongued!" Madam Liu was quite angry, her face turned very ugly, and she could only bring up the shop.
"You're not renting this shop today, get out!"
Even without her saying so, we didn't plan to stay any longer; the sight of it was disgusting.
Lin Qiuran and I left the coffee shop together, and we finally breathed a sigh of relief once we were outside.
After what happened, Lin Qiuran didn't want to bring her bad mood home, so the two of us walked along the roadside path for a while.
Once she calmed down, Lin Qiuran felt some regret and even guilt.
"Oh my god, did I act impulsively just now? If we offend her, we won't be able to get the shop."
I kept an eye on him the whole way, afraid he would overthink things, and sure enough!
I've already heard those people say to me, I'm used to it!
But Lin Qiuran didn't. He had never been treated like that before, so it was normal for him to be upset.
I patted him on the shoulder. "What are you thinking? It's just a shop. There are countless good shops out there. I care about you. Don't let her nonsense bother you!"
As expected, Lin Qiuran's eyes dimmed as I hit the nail on the head, and those memories he wanted to forget resurfaced.
He grabbed a handful of his short hair in frustration and, for the first time, confided in me his feelings about the Ms. Dong incident.
"My God, you don't know, even though several months have passed, Miss Dong's matter still haunts me like a nightmare, sometimes making it hard for me to breathe."
"Whenever I hear someone mention those people or that incident, I can't help myself..."
"I know, I can empathize!"
I stopped, took his money, lit one for him, and lit one for myself.
I smoke, not because I can't, but because I want to.
Surrounded by smoke, Lin Qiuran seemed to relax a bit, and I took the opportunity to offer a few more words of advice.
"Qiu Ran, the fault wasn't yours. It was Miss Dong and her fiancé who were at fault. Fortunately, it's all in the past now, and we should look forward."
Lin Qiuran nodded in agreement, "I know, but God, we're all trying so hard to live, so why is it so difficult!"
We leaned against the railing of the overpass, and I saw Lin Qiuran's reddened eyes, which made my nose tingle as well.
His experiences are exactly the same as mine, things I can't shake off no matter how hard I try.
"Things always pass. When you look back, you'll find that what seemed serious at the time wasn't actually that important."
"You still have children and a wife, so don't be afraid to think about it, don't be afraid of time, just let it fade away slowly."
These words were not only meant to advise him, but also to advise myself.
……
The day after this incident, I called Mrs. Li and explained the situation.
Unexpectedly, Mrs. Li became furious on the phone after hearing about this.
"Did she take the wrong medicine?"
"I introduced her to you because she's in her fifties or sixties, but I never expected she'd do something like this."
"If it weren't for Mr. Liu, who would even glance at her! I'm sorry for causing you trouble. I'll apologize to you and Mr. Lin in person another day."
Actually, I just wanted to tell Mrs. Li about the situation, since she was the one who acted as a go-between. Since things didn't work out, I should let her know.
I didn't expect Madam Li to be so polite.
When we met again later, she even brought apology gifts, one for both Lin Qiuran and me.
When I went to look for a new shop with Lin Qiuran again, I brought the gift to Lin Qiuran.
Finding a good shop wasn't easy, but we finally found one that lived up to our expectations.
Although it may not be as large or located as Mrs. Liu's, it is still a good choice for a newcomer like me.
On the day they found the shop, Lin Qiuran suddenly brought up a very tricky matter.
Lin Qiuran hesitated for a long time before finally telling me.
"That Mrs. Liu is a freak! She actually found her way to my neighborhood, giving me a huge headache!"
what?
I never expected that Madam Liu would be so persistent about Lin Qiuran, even though we had only met once. This surprised me greatly.
"How are Wu Qian and the baby? Are they alright?"
Lin Qiuran said somewhat dejectedly, "They're all fine. Xiaoqian trusts me and I told her the truth, but she's also upset."
"That's good."
Fortunately, Wu Qian believed him, otherwise they would have had a huge fight.
However, continuing like this is not a solution. One day, everyone will be unable to persevere and will become exhausted.
I looked at the troubled Lin Qiuran and said, "We need to find a solution to this problem once and for all!"
"Do you have a solution?"
I took a set of keys out of the cabinet and handed them to Lin Qiuran.
"what is this?"
“Song Yafei gave me an apartment. You and Wu Qian can move there for a while. We’ll figure out how to sort things out, and then you can move back.”
At first, Lin Qiuran didn't want to accept it, but I persuaded him to take it.
……
Two days later, I arranged to meet Lin Qiuran and Hu Mei to devise a plan to bring down Madam Liu.
By this time, Lin Qiuran had already moved to the house I had given him the key to.
When he saw me, he was unusually relaxed and said, "Finally, I've had two comfortable days."
With that, I felt relieved.
Then we analyzed Mrs. Liu's current situation together.
In my opinion, a major reason why Mrs. Liu dares to act so boldly and recklessly outside, without fear of consequences or any attempt to hide anything, is that Mr. Liu completely ignores her affairs.
Once you reach Mr. Liu's position, as long as his core interests are not harmed, he will probably turn a blind eye to everything.
Furthermore, even if Mrs. Liu is no longer suitable for Mr. Liu, he will not easily divorce her.
At their level, divorce is no longer just a personal matter; it can even affect the operation and survival of the company.
But the only person who can restrain a scoundrel like Madam Liu is Mr. Liu.
Hu Mei and Lin Qiuran both found my analysis very reasonable.
I told them about my plan.
After hearing this, they both made my plan even more comprehensive.
Before we parted, I patted Lin Qiuran on the shoulder and teased, "Next, I'm afraid you'll have to sacrifice a little bit of your looks, okay?"
Lin Qiuran patted his chest and assured, "This sacrifice is nothing compared to the peace of mind I'll have in the future."
Then the next day, we started making plans.
The first step was to have Lin Qiuran take the initiative to contact Madam Liu.
