"thank you. " Xia Ling did not respond to him.
The girl's wet hair was stuck to her cheek. Her eyes were very black, her chin was thin, and dried blood flowed along her forehead and froze on the side of her face. She looked like a poor little animal that had been injured.
"You're welcome. I just happened to pass by, " Pei Luo said.
He had not seen Xia Ling for the whole afternoon. Just before he left, he suddenly remembered that he had heard Wang Juan and the others talking about Xia Ling when they left work.
Probably guessing that the girl was locked in the Pantry, Pei Luo found a pair of pliers and broke the lock on the door.
Looking at Xia Ling, Pei Luo cut off a piece of gauze, soaked it with alcohol, and handed it to Xia Ling.
"There's blood on your face, wipe it. "
"thank you. " Xia Ling came back to her senses and took the gauze from Pei Luo while eating a sandwich.
The pantry was for men and women, and there was a mirror. Xia Ling took the gauze and wiped the blood off her forehead.
Her skin was fair, and she could see that there was a small wound on the side of her face. It was just a little cut, but there was a lot of blood, and it looked a little scary.
Pei Luo handed her another band-aid. Xia Ling took it and put it on her own wound.
After dealing with the wound, Xia Ling and Pei Luo went back to the office.
There was no one in the office. Pei Luo was sitting in his own seat. It looked like he was dealing with unfinished work, and Xia Ling could finally eat this sandwich properly to solve her hunger.
Her Fair Cheeks and small bites. Every bite was like she had to grind the food carefully before she swallowed it.
A small piece of sandwich was eaten for a long time.
It didn't hurt her stomach!
Pei Luo looked like he was working, but he actually didn't want Xia Ling to feel awkward.
He couldn't help but open his mouth when he saw Xia Ling eating the sandwich from the side.
"Don't be silly in the future. If they treat you like this, you can call the police. You're an adult now. The law will protect you. "
She had a beautiful face that made all the girls jealous, but she was the most timid of them all.
Pei Luo didn't do it on purpose that day. They drank too much... ... He was willing to take responsibility, but she rejected him ...
He thought she did not like him.
In the company, he would pay more attention to her, but he did not dare to get close to her.
Who could not have any self-respect?
"I know. Next time, I will call the police. " The sandwich comforted the empty stomach. Xia Ling smiled at Pei Luo. She was gentle but distant, and she took the medicine from him.
If Wang Juan and the others were to be ruthless, the wounds on her body would also be superficial.
But..
Wang Juan and the others bullied the weak and feared the strong. They held onto Xia Ling's weakness, which was that she was unwilling to lose her job. They felt that no matter how they bullied her, she did not dare to say anything.
A girl would not dare to provoke such a person. Xia Ling was not afraid.
She would call the police. Just like Pei Luo said, she would give Wang Juan and the others a hard lesson.
NOT THIS TIME!
Because Xia Ling did not leave enough evidence, it was useless to call the police.
"En... " when Pei Luo heard the girl say next time, he thought that she was just saying it as a formality. He did not have the courage to call the police. "Then that's it. I'll leave first. Remember to lock the door when you leave later. "
Xia Ling nodded. She could see Pei Luo's disappointment.
So what if he was disappointed Everyone had to live their lives on their own.
Seeing Pei Luo's slender figure leave, Xia Ling raised her voice and said to him.
"No matter what, thank you, Pei Luo. "
"You don't have to feel guilty about what happened before. I didn't suffer any losses either. We're both adults now. We helped each other once. You've paid what you owe me back. "
Pei Luo pursed his lips. He did not feel good.
If Xia Ling had pestered him, he might have felt a little annoyed. But now, from the beginning, she had avoided him like a beast. Now, she thanked him and said that they were even.
If he could pay it off now, then he wouldn't be so annoyed!
"okay, got it. " Pei Luo didn't turn his head and just answered.
The tip of his tongue stuck in his mouth and turned around again. He stood in front of the elevator and watched the elevator numbers come up one by one. Pei Luo couldn't see anything from behind.
However, when you looked at the shadow reflected by the elevator door, the man standing there had a frown on his face, and his hands were clenched tightly by his side.

Xia Ling tidied up her desk and went downstairs.
The bus had been walking for an hour. When she got off, Xia Ling was already much better.
She got off the bus and stood in front of an old and dilapidated housing area.
This was Xia Ling's home.
It was a low and dilapidated house with a narrow road leading between the houses on both sides. On top of her head were ropes that people were pulling on their own. There were sheets and clothes hanging all over the place, making the entire resettlement house seem even more dilapidated and noisy.
There was a slightly damp cement ground under her feet. Xia Ling looked calm and composed. She knew what she was going to face, but she remained calm.
There were many bored people here. They took pleasure in making fun of young girls like Xia Ling. Making young girls blush was their favorite thing to do.
"Xia Ling, it's vacation time. "
"come and play with us. Why are you in such a hurry to go home? "
The men were squatting on the street and chatting. When they saw Xia Ling coming from outside, they immediately opened their mouths.
Someone wanted to pull Xia Ling up, but Xia Ling fiercely pushed him away.
She suddenly became so fierce, and the man was stunned.
In the past, Xia Ling would have run away in a panic, but this time, she walked over under their gazes.
"How boring, " the man said embarrassedly. His face was dark as he watched Xia Ling leave. He felt that the girl seemed to have changed a little today.
*
Xia Ling returned to the old building.
"Mom, I'm back. " Xia Ling stood at the door of the rented house and pushed it open, but she did not open it.
She seemed to have heard some movement through the door.
Xia Ling frowned and stood there, waiting for someone to come out of the house.
"Why didn't you knock? This girl, how many times have I told you! "
A woman poked her head out from behind the door and glared at Xia Ling. This woman's long hair was burnt to a crisp. Her face was white and fat, and her eyes were especially small due to puffiness.
The woman rushed out with a pungent perfume smell. She rushed out of the inner room and pulled her clothes up with her fat hands. She looked a little embarrassed.
"Oh, is Xia Ling back? " Another man walked out of the master bedroom. "What happened? Are you hurt? "
The man did not look as tall as the woman, but his small eyes had been staring at Xia Ling from the moment he came out.
Looking at him, some memories appeared in Xia Ling's mind.
This was Zhao Yi, their landlord. He was usually greedy and lascivious, and he was also Ji Baoyu's current man.
In the past, Xia Ling had JI Baoyu to protect her, so Xia Ling had never met him.
But this time, Xia Ling came back late and bumped into Zhao Yi at Ji Baoyu's place. Naturally, she could not pretend not to see him and avoid him.
"Old Zhao, forget about today. Xia Ling is back. I'll make her some food. You can come back later. " Ji Baoyu blocked in front of Xia Ling.
Ji Baoyu's figure had been getting worse and worse in the past two years. Zhao Yi had long been dissatisfied.
He stared at Xia Ling like he was staring at a fish that had been hooked. Zhao Yi would not let go.
"How can that be? Xia Ling finally came back. Don't I have to ask properly? Ji Baoyu, what do you mean? If you dare to stop me again, get out with your daughter! Don't stay in my house! " Zhao Yi pushed Ji Baoyu away impatiently.
Ji Baoyu tried her best to signal her to go into the house. Ji Baoyu blocked Zhao Yi's way.
"Hehe, here's the thing. Xia Ling is still young. Don't scare her. That won't be good. "
Zhao Yi frowned when Ji Baoyu stopped him.
However, Xia Ling did not move.
She stared coldly at Zhao Yi.
First, it was Wang Juan and then Zhao Yi. When she was bullied previously, she could feel that it was not as if she did not have the strength to fight back
Her body was too weak, which was why she could not resist Wang Juan's bullying.
But now..
She had almost rested. If Zhao Yi really wanted to do something, she would definitely not be the one to lose out.
"Come, let's sit here and talk. " Zhao Yi smiled as he walked over and raised his hand to grab Xia Ling's wrist.
Xia Ling looked at him, her entire body full of flaws.
She took two steps back, looking as if she had been forced into a corner by Zhao Yi.
"Ji Baoyu, I think Xia Ling is pretty good. Why don't... she be my wife from now on? From now on, this House will be yours. Consider it as me being FILIAL TO MY MOTHER-IN-LAW! "
Zhao Yi had a smile on his face as he looked at Xia Ling up close. That fair and delicate face was really beautiful no matter how he looked at it.
His eyes were about to light up. Xia Ling furrowed her brows. She really could not stand the disgusting smell of Betel nuts when he spoke. She grabbed Zhao Yi's shoulder with one hand and pushed him to the ground with just a little bit of force, using the standard grappling hand.
Of course, Ji Baoyu and Zhao Yi couldn't see the grappling hand.
Zhao Yi only felt pain in his arm. It was as if his arm had been dismembered, and he cried out in pain like a pig being slaughtered.
Xia Ling pressed him down and said to Ji Baoyu.
"Call the police! "
"Ah? " Ji Baoyu was stunned and couldn't react.
"I said, call the police! " Xia Ling said without any doubt, "SUE HIM FOR HARASSMENT! "
"This... This isn't good, right? " Ji Baoyu said weakly ...
She had taken a lot of money from Zhao Yi. She and Xia Ling had always lived in Zhao Yi's house. If she called the police just like that, the police wouldn't lock him up. Would they lock them up?
"What's wrong with that? If you don't call the police, I'll call them! " Xia Ling did not have JI Baoyu's concern. She grabbed Zhao Yi's arm and called 110.
Zhao Yi wanted to take advantage of Xia Ling's call to launch a desperate counterattack.
In the end, before he could move, Xia Ling took off a piece of Ji Baoyu's clothes from the side, covered his head, and hit Zhao Yi in the face
Xia Ling reserved her strength, but it did not hurt. Not even a trace could be left behind. She was just venting her anger.
"Ji Baoyu, let me tell you. Call the police for me, and I'll call the police too. You Owe me rent for so long, and you're a deadbeat! The police will arrest both of you! "
"If you're locked with me, watch me kill you! "
Zhao Yi was stunned by the beating. He screamed and ran around like a blind fly.
"Who do you mean to kill? " Xia Ling turned on the recording on her phone and aimed it at Zhao Yi.
"Kill you, kill you Little Jian Person! " Zhao Yi was completely unaware and continued to threaten.
After saving the recording neatly, Xia Ling played the recording for Zhao Yi.
There was no lack of evidence and facts. Xia Ling really called 110.
Zhao Yi went to snatch Xia Ling's phone, but Xia Ling avoided him.
Seeing that things were not right, Zhao Yi quickly went out. He had to go out and think of a countermeasure.
As he walked, his mouth still refused to give in.
"... Ji Baoyu... good, good job. Xia Ling, just you wait!"
Xia Ling sneered. "Just you wait. Zhao Yi, I've recorded you touching a few young girls before! The police will be here soon, just you wait! "
Zhao Yi's forehead was covered in sweat. He did not dare to think whether what the girl said was true or not, and his feet kept moving.
On the other side, Xia Ling closed the door and calmly returned to her room.
"You lass, did you really call the police? " Ji Baoyu chased after her and asked carefully.
She usually ate and drank Zhao Yi's food, but Zhao Yi really would not let her go. She was afraid that she would really be locked up with him, right?
"No, I scared him. " Xia Ling threw her phone to the side.
The phone screen was locked, and there was no trace of a call.
Ji Baoyu heaved a sigh of relief and turned around to scold her again.
"You lass, Zhao Yi is a thief with no guts. It's okay to let him say a few words and have some fun. Now that he's been chased away by you and offended to death, what are we going to do in the future? "
Zhao Yi would definitely not rent the house to them in the future. She did not know how to earn money, so were the two of them going to live on the streets in the future?
"I'll be paid this month. No matter how poor you are, how can you not have any money at all? If you really can't do it, find an overpass and let it be for a few days. When the salary is paid, then look for a house. Is there anyone alive in this world who has starved to death? " Xia Ling looked at JI Baoyu.
Ji Baoyu choked. She had been forced to this extent by Xia Ling, so she had to admit it.
Taking advantage of the fact that Zhao Yi did not bring anyone back, Ji Baoyu took Xia Ling with two bags and left.
At night, they stayed at the youth hostel first.
Xia Ling's body was covered in bruises when she changed her clothes. It was the bruises that Wang Juan and the others had left after blocking her in the pantry.
Ji Baoyu looked at her in silence for a long time. She went out to buy medicine and wine for Xia Ling, but she did not ask anything. She only let Xia Ling lie on the bed, took off her clothes, and rubbed them for her.
Xia Ling enjoyed this rare warmth.
Lying on the pillow, she turned around to look at Ji Baoyu.
Ji Baoyu's hair was sparse, and her face was empty. Previously, she had been lazy and had relied on Xia Ling's father to support her.
Xia Ling's father was no longer willing to accept them, so Ji Baoyu rented Zhao Yi's House and had to muddle along. She had to rely on her man to survive.
"Mom, you should find a job tomorrow. Otherwise, as an adult, you'll be bored every day. No matter how much money we have, we can always live a more fulfilling life and have a better life in the future. "
"A better life? " Damn girl, you just graduated, how can you let me have a better life You don't know how to do anything but cause trouble every day. You're just pissing me off. I was eating and drinking well at Zhao Yi's place, but now you've ruined it!"Ji Baoyu's face turned black.
In this world, no one allowed her to work, or else she would be her sworn enemy!
The most conscientious thing Ji Baoyu did in her life was to think of the love she had with her ex-husband. No matter how hard she suffered, Xia Ling sent her to university, and protected her to grow up safely.
There were thousands of people in this world. Ji Baoyu had let down everyone, and she had let Xia Ling down.
"Mom, are you really living a good life there? Is Zhao Yi really good to you? " Xia Ling asked directly.
Her words were unpleasant, and they went straight to JI Baoyu's heart.
If Zhao Yi was really good to Ji Baoyu, then Xia Ling definitely wanted Ji Baoyu to have a home.
