Bi Shuang stood at the door, ready to block the man from going any further inside. But the man pushed her aside with one shove.
There was a long table at the door, its height reaching exactly to the girl's waist. With that push, Bi Shuang's waist hit the edge of the table.
The girl winced in pain and stood there for a long time, stunned. She supported her waist with one hand and the wall with the other, then slowly made her way to the living room.
She saw the man rummaging through the things in the living room, as if looking for something.
"Where are my previous clothes?"
Bi Shuang was taken aback. Those rags?
"I've thrown them away!"
The man went crazy. He walked up to Bi Shuang and grabbed her by the neck.
Bi Shuang wasn't one to be trifled with. As a person who practiced kickboxing, how could she be intimidated by a pretty boy's weak punches.
She concentrated all her strength on her toes and stomped hard on the man's foot.
The man yelped in pain and stopped what he was doing.
Taking this opportunity, Bi Shuang kicked the man in the back of his knee.
Qiao Lin leaned forward due to the loss of balance and fell flat on the ground. Bi Shuang still felt angry and punched the man a few times on his back.
"Do you know how expensive those things are?"
"Those things are just junk to me!"
A high - end suit, several Uniqlo clothes, and two watches meant nothing to Bi Shuang.
Those things were like childhood toys to her. Once thrown away, she wouldn't feel a twinge of regret.
But it was different for Qiao Lin. These were his last shreds of dignity, a symbol of the identity he had created for himself.
He thought that by owning these high - end items, he could cover up the incompleteness of his original family.
But it was all just an illusion. At first, he wanted to work hard, so he admired Bi Shuang who was equally hard - working.
Later, through work opportunities, he met Qin Yue. He discovered that there was another way in this society to change his status.
He had to put aside his pride when doing business, and he also had to do so when trying to curry favor with a rich girlfriend.
Since both required him to swallow his pride, why not choose an easier way to make money.
Bi Shuang looked at the man lying on the ground and slowly squatted down.
"Qiao Lin, the total value of those things is only about a hundred thousand yuan. Plus the gifts you gave me before, it's still less than two hundred thousand. I'll give you the money..."
The man didn't say a word and just stayed lying on the ground.
Bi Shuang saw the man's shoulders trembling and suddenly felt a twinge of softness in her heart. She pulled the man up to sit.
She threw a wet wipe at Qiao Lin and then urged the man to leave.
"Don't come to find me again in the future!"
The man stood at the door, wanting to say something to Bi Shuang, but was kicked out by her.
She felt annoyed just looking at the man's face now.
Bang!
The door closed. Qiao Lin sat in front of Bi Shuang's door.
After a while, he got up from the ground, dusted off his clothes, and then left.
When Qiao Lin got home, his back was black and blue. Qin Yue was extremely worried when she saw the man's back.
After learning that it was Bi Shuang who had beaten him, she felt a bit uncomfortable. It wasn't because Bi Shuang had beaten Qiao Lin, but because Qiao Lin had gone to see Bi Shuang.
What was their relationship before? They still seemed to have lingering feelings.
Qin Yue couldn't tolerate any impurities. She clenched her fists and looked at the man's back.
"A Lin! Let's sue that woman! Look at how badly you're hurt!"
Qiao Lin felt Qin Yue's hand roaming on his back, and the pressure on his back increased when she was talking.
He realized that the situation was not simple. Although Qin Yue said she wanted to sue Bi Shuang, in fact, she was testing whether Qiao Lin still had feelings for Bi Shuang.
"Do as you say!"
Bi Shuang received a court summons at work today.
She looked at the name on it and the trumped - up charges, and sneered.
She printed out the resignation letter she had already written in Word, signed her name, swaggered into the man's office, pushed the door open, and placed the resignation letter on the table.
She also showed the summons to Qiao Lin.
"You really have some nerve!"
Bi Shuang was a bit in awe of this man.
She tossed her hand and left the office. She went back to her seat, packed up the manuscripts at hand, and left with the folder in her arms.
As for the desktop computer she had bought for herself when she started work, she left it in the company.
A thing worth a couple of thousand yuan. Leaving it here was like showing pity on Qiao Lin.
The first thing she did when she got home was to contact Ding Ruola. She knew that Ding Ruola had been in a bad mood these days, so she wanted to tell the girl about the strange things that had happened to her.
Sure enough, it had an effect.
Fang Siyan also felt strange. What on earth had Bi Shuang told Ding Ruola?
That night, there was a smile on Ding Ruola's face.
"Old Fang! Can I borrow your lawyer?"
It wasn't just the lawyer. As long as Ding Ruola said a word, Fang Siyan wouldn't even go to the company today and would definitely follow Ding Ruola to see Bi Shuang.
"Don't be so exaggerated. I just need the lawyer!"
In Ding Ruola's impression, Fang Siyan's lawyer had never lost a lawsuit. Compared with the lawyer on Qin Yue's side.
Humph! A second - rate company's shoddy lawyer.
During the court session, the plaintiff tried to convict Bi Shuang on the charge of intentional injury.
Qin Yue didn't expect that the defendant's side had made full preparations.
At first, Ding Ruola was worried for Bi Shuang. But halfway through, she started to worry for Qiao Lin.
If Bi Shuang's lawyer continued, Qiao Lin would be harmed by Qin Yue. He originally had no responsibility, but now he might be sentenced.
Qin Yue was stupid. It was the first time she knew that a lawsuit could be fought like this.
Qiao Lin didn't expect that after the lawsuit, not only could he not get the two hundred thousand yuan Bi Shuang had promised, but now he also had to pay a compensation of fifty thousand yuan.
Bi Shuang didn't care about the fifty thousand yuan. For her, it was just enough to buy two bags.
After everyone left the court, Ding Ruola held Bi Shuang's hand and didn't leave her side for a moment.
"Miss Ding, Miss Bi! We'll go back first!"
Bi Shuang saw the lawyer who had defended her today and immediately got excited. She wanted to add the man's WeChat, but was politely refused.
"My daughter really admires your design works."
Bi Shuang quickly retracted her outstretched hand and forced a smile on her face to make herself look less embarrassed.
"Married at a young age!"
Bi Shuang stuffed her phone into her bag, then pulled Ding Ruola to a cybercafe. They found a private room, ordered some snacks, and started chatting.
"Ding Ding! Actually, you don't have to care about those things. The old traditions aren't necessarily good."
"I know! But I'm afraid Fang Siyan won't be able to accept it."
Bi Shuang was an outgoing person. She thought that it was just a man touching her arms and legs. There was nothing unacceptable about it.
At the same time, she also knew that since the two were in different situations, their mental states would also be different. So she didn't impose her cynical ideas on Ding Ruola.
Later in the evening, Fang Siyan came to pick up Ding Ruola.
The man was holding a pink parasol in his hand. Standing at the entrance of the cybercafe, he was looked down upon by a group of straight men inside.
"Professor Fang, sorry to bother you!"
Bi Shuang handed Ding Ruola to Fang Siyan and then left with peace of mind.
