SAG -Chapter 94 Helping Her Vent Her Anger

After arriving at the restaurant, Liu Lu was momentarily unsure what to do.

She hadn’t expected Ning Qing to bring them to such a high-end place.

Fortunately, Ning Qing understood this and arranged everything smoothly.

“This is my first time meeting Xiaohui and Xiaoxin, so order whatever you like. It’s my treat,” Ning Qing said with a smile.

Liu Lu quickly said, “How can I let you treat? I’ll pay.”

“Sister Liu, why are you being so polite with me? It’s nothing major.”

“Just let your little sister treat you this time. Next time, you can treat me instead.”

Hearing this, Liu Lu stopped insisting.

Liu Hui and Wu Xin were not paying much attention to that.

This was also their first time entering such an upscale restaurant, and they had no idea how to order.

Ning Qing was socially sharp. With one glance, she saw their awkwardness.

So she asked the waiter to introduce the dishes, then observed Liu Hui and Wu Xin’s expressions and helped them order.

Ning Qing and Liu Lu had eaten lunch already, so they only ordered a vegetable salad and watched the two girls eat.

At first, Liu Hui and Wu Xin were still restrained.

But once the food arrived, the tempting aroma immediately awakened their starving stomachs.

After wolfing down the meal, the two finally smiled awkwardly.

Seeing Liu Hui like this, Liu Lu felt distressed.

“Xiaohui, how long has it been since you ate? How are you this hungry?”

Before Liu Hui could speak, Wu Xin said pitifully, “Xiaohui and I haven’t eaten for a whole day.”

“What? What happened? Why didn’t you contact me earlier? What, do you look down on your cousin now?”

Liu Lu was both angry and heartbroken.

Liu Hui hurriedly said, “No, Cousin. I was just too embarrassed to contact you.”

“What exactly happened? Did Uncle not give you money for meals?” Liu Lu asked.

“No, it’s like this…”

Liu Hui told them about being scammed, her voice filled with grievance.

She had never expected to be tricked so badly.

When they had gone to confront those people, every one of them had looked fierce and threatening, scaring the two girls badly.

After Liu Lu heard everything, her heart ached even more.

“If something like this happens again, tell your family earlier. No matter what, you can’t let yourself go hungry.”

Although she was angry, Liu Lu felt there was nothing she could really do.

But Ning Qing did not think that way.

After listening, she immediately became furious.

“They dared scam my little sister? Are these people tired of living in Shanghai?”

“Xiaohui, give me the address. I’ll help you vent your anger.”

Liu Hui’s eyes lit up at first, but quickly dimmed again.

“Thank you, Sister Qing, but it’s fine. Those people are really fierce. If we hadn’t run fast, we might have been beaten.”

Ning Qing waved her hand domineeringly.

“I don’t care how fierce they are.”

“In Shanghai, no one gets to bully my sister and walk away fine.”

Liu Hui and Wu Xin stared blankly at Ning Qing.

Especially Wu Xin, whose eyes were practically sparkling.

In truth, although Ning Qing sounded domineering, she knew very well that a company using such dirty tricks couldn’t have any major background.

With her ability, crushing them would be easy.

Liu Lu also wanted to help her cousin vent her anger, but she still asked quietly, “Xiao Qing, will this really be okay?”

“Sister Liu, don’t worry. It’s a small matter. Leave it to me.”

In the car, Ning Qing confirmed the address, made several phone calls, and then directly led everyone inside once they arrived.

“Sister Qing, this is the place,” Liu Hui said, pointing at the company that looked quite decent from the outside.

“Let’s go.”

The four women walked in and found that the company actually looked fairly proper inside.

At first, the people there didn’t notice Liu Hui and were about to greet them with smiles.

But soon, they saw her.

“What? You came looking for trouble again?”

“Tsk, tsk. You’re all pretty girls. Why don’t you know how to behave?”

Someone laughed.

Liu Hui and Wu Xin had caused a scene before. Now they had brought two more people, clearly to make trouble again.

“So you’re the ones who scammed my sister?” Ning Qing asked coldly.

Hearing this, one young man smiled.

“Beauty, you can eat whatever you want, but you can’t say whatever you want.”

“What do you mean scam? This was a normal business transaction. We didn’t force them.”

Ning Qing understood their shameless behavior, so she didn’t bother saying more.

She simply stood at the entrance.

“What? Planning to block the door?”

“Let me tell you, you can still leave now. If your pretty face gets ruined later, that would be a shame.”

One man said lecherously.

The others burst into laughter.

They had seen situations like this countless times before and were already experienced in dealing with them.

But very soon, they could no longer laugh.

Groups of people arrived one after another.

When the people in the company saw them, their hearts trembled.

There were police officers.

People from the market supervision bureau.

People from the fire department.

Basically, every department that could regulate a company had sent people.

They even saw some of them speaking with Ning Qing.

It looked like they were asking about the situation.

But everyone understood—

They had fallen into trouble this time.

Their business had always operated on the edge of legality.

If someone truly wanted to investigate them, it was very easy.

It was just that for most people, the cost of pursuing them was not worth the reward.

What followed was much simpler.

Liu Hui saw the same people who had acted fierce and threatening toward them yesterday now begging them to let them off.

But Liu Hui did not agree.

Or rather, at this point, it was no longer up to her.

Ning Qing had helped them, so how the matter was handled depended on Ning Qing’s decision.

Ning Qing looked at Liu Hui.

“Sister, what do you want to do?”

“I’ll listen to Sister Qing,” Liu Hui said.

“Good.”

“These people probably didn’t just scam the two of you. Instead of leaving them here, we might as well take them all down at once.”

“Don’t worry. Your money won’t disappear either.”

Liu Hui watched the group look as if their parents had died after hearing Ning Qing’s words.

Her eyes shone as she looked at Ning Qing.

At the same time, she carefully studied her cousin.

She had never expected Liu Lu to know someone so capable, and for their relationship to be so close.

Thinking about it, Ning Qing was definitely not doing this for her and Wu Xin.

She was doing it because of Liu Lu.

If their relationship were ordinary, would Ning Qing go through so much effort to help them?

Liu Hui also realized that her cousin was different now.

She could not say exactly how.

But the change felt enormous.

At six o’clock, the sky had already darkened.

Liu Hui and the others walked out of the police station.

They had needed to give statements.

According to the police, the money they had been scammed out of could not be returned immediately, but they would not have to wait too long. Once the case was mostly settled, the money would be returned.

“Thank you, Sister Qing.”

Liu Hui and Wu Xin quickly expressed their gratitude.

“Don’t thank me. Thank your Sister Lu,” Ning Qing said with a smile.

Liu Lu hurriedly said, “Alright, stop thanking each other.”

“Xiaohui, do you have money with you? I’ll give you some. Find a hotel for tonight. Then think carefully about whether you want to stay in Shanghai and look for work. If you don’t, then go home.”

“What hotel?”

“I have a room card here. Just stay there.”

Ning Qing took out a room card.

Seeing that Liu Lu wanted to refuse, Ning Qing said, “Sister Liu, don’t decline. This is a room I rent long-term. The money’s already paid anyway. It’d be a waste not to use it.”

“Alright then.”

Since Ning Qing put it that way, Liu Lu did not continue refusing.

But inside, she felt increasingly uneasy.

Ning Qing had helped her too much today.

And Liu Lu felt she had nothing to offer in return.

That was just the kind of person Liu Lu was.

When someone helped her, if she could not repay them, she would always feel indebted and keep thinking about it.

“Maybe I should consider the investment?”

Liu Lu thought to herself.

But she did not dare make the decision on her own.

Although Zhang Ran had said the money was completely hers to handle, Liu Lu still felt unable to let go.

So she planned to ask her father-in-law for his opinion that evening.
