Chapter 36 Four Times a Night

Stumbling, Xu Li was led by the man into the dark living room.

She didn't even have time to say anything, the man got straight to the point and pushed her down onto the narrow sofa in the small apartment.

Xu Li had already recognized who the other person was. In panic, she subconsciously asked , " What are you doing!"

"Heh ... " The man sneered and clamped her cheek, "Debt collection."

She breathed rapidly, and as her eyes gradually adjusted to the light, she saw Zhou Dingyu's distinctive face and dark peach blossom eyes.

There was red at the corners of his eyes, and he seemed to be in a bad mood.

For no reason, a feeling of timidity emerged in Xu Li's heart. She cleared her throat and said , " You ... what's wrong with you ... "

The man loosened his grip on her cheek, and his voice became low and cold, mixed with a hint of teasing and mockery.

"It's not Miss Xu's turn to worry about this."

Xu Li opened her mouth.

Before she could say anything else, the sound of a belt buckle being unfastened rang out in the living room.

The man's movements were smooth and decisive, without any lingering or pity.

pain!

She endured it passively, and soon physiological tears welled up at the corners of her eyes.

Although she knew that she still owed the other party four times and it was understandable that he came to her house to collect the money, she still found it difficult to accept such strong behavior without any buffer.

She passively followed the rapid breathing and said incoherently , " Zhou Dingyu ... you ... did you take the wrong medicine?"

But somehow, her words were met with even more rude and harsh treatment from him than before.

The sobs from her mouth were fragmented, moving from the sofa to the bedroom, and then to the narrow window in the bedroom.

Xu Li pressed her hands on the windowsill. In front of her were the bright lights of thousands of homes, and behind her was the devil dragging her into the abyss.

Time passed minute by minute, and when she was pressed on the bed by the man for the fourth time.

My whole body felt as if it had been run over by a heavy object and was aching so much that it was about to fall apart.

"I can't take it anymore ... I really can't take it anymore ... " She cried and begged, pulling Zhou Dingyu's arm, "Let's just stop here ... OK ... "

The woman's messy hair, wet eyes, swollen lips, and trembling body all stimulated Zhou Dingyu's crazy nerves.

The actions did not stop, and even became more severe with a sense of punishment and revenge.

Finally, Xu Li couldn't bear it anymore and fell asleep due to exhaustion.

At the moment when the woman under him completely lost consciousness, he pinched her waist fiercely, rested his forehead on her sweaty neck, and whispered in a hoarse voice,

"Xu Li, will you never choose me?"

However, she didn't hear these words, let alone answer them.

——

The next day, when Xu Li woke up, Zhou Dingyu was no longer by her side.

The quilt covered her neatly.

If the pain in her body hadn't been so real, she would have thought that everything that happened last night was a dream.

Nightmare.

"Hiss ... " After sitting up by the edge of the bed and taking a long while, Xu Li finally got down from the bed.

I first picked up the phone on the bedside table to check the time, but found that there were unread messages on the phone.

It was sent by Zhou Dingyu.

It's a transfer reminder.

One hundred thousand yuan, note: reward.

Xu Li's fingertips trembled slightly, and she clicked the receive button without any hesitation.

Then he put his phone on the bed and went to the bathroom to wash himself.

She didn't understand why the man was so angry last night, but she clearly understood that he used her as a punching bag and an object for venting his anger.

Fortunately, everything is over, all ten debts have been paid off, and now she no longer owes him anything.

——

For the remaining few days, Zhou Dingyu seemed to have disappeared from the face of the earth and never appeared in front of Xu Li again.

Pei Song also officially set off for Qiulin to begin field investigations and prepare for the bidding of the tourism project.

Xu Li personally sent him to the station.

She watched him disappear into the station entrance with his suitcase, and only turned and left when he was no longer in sight.

Xu Li took a taxi back. On the way, the taxi was broadcasting gossip news.

But she didn't pay attention to it until the female announcer on the radio read out in pure Mandarin accent -

"The latest news is that the second young master of the Zhou family in Yucheng will hold an engagement ceremony tomorrow. The woman's surname is Luo, and it is said that the two have been in love for a long time ... "

She suddenly looked out the window.

——

The next day.

When Xu Li stood at the engagement party, her mind was briefly empty.

She didn't know why she came here just because of Luo Ling's call.

At this moment, what Luo Ling said on the phone yesterday pierced through the noisy and festive surroundings and echoed in her ears——

"Sister Xu, you must attend my engagement ceremony with Brother Huai'an. The invitation has been sent to you by express delivery in the same city. I would feel regretful without your witness and blessing. Sister Xu is so open-minded, she should come, right?"

After taking a breath, Xu Li's confused mind gradually became clear.

Others have already said this.

She can't be timid.

He pursed his lips and was about to step in.

A familiar, dull voice suddenly sounded behind her , " Why are you here?"

Xu Li looked over.

It was Zhou Huaian. He should have gone outside to greet the guests in person. He was followed by several well-dressed people, and it was obvious that they were of noble status.

Zhou Huaian tilted his head and said politely to those people:

"Sorry, please go in first. I have some personal matters to deal with."

After those people glanced at Xu Li, they walked onto the red carpet and headed towards the banquet room, whispering to each other.

After the guests left, Zhou Huaian looked at Xu Li, adjusted his glasses, and said coldly , " I don't remember inviting you."

Xu Li held the invitation in her hand, her throat was blocked, but she still smiled and said , " It was your fiancée who invited me."

"Ling'er?" Zhou Huaian frowned slightly, "Why would she invite you?"

Ling Er ...

Xu Li laughed at herself in her heart. Now even the way she addressed him had become so intimate.

She endured the stabbing pain in her heart and raised her lips:

"Your fiancée said that she would regret it without my blessing and witness, so I came."

After these words were spoken, a figure walked out from the banquet room. It was Luo Ling.

She was wearing a pink and white floor-length dress. After she came over, she hugged Zhou Huaian's arm affectionately and said coquettishly:

"Brother Huai'an, I invited Sister Xu here ... I'm sorry for not telling you in advance ... You won't be angry, will you?"

Zhou Huaian looked at Luo Ling, and tenderness appeared in his eyes behind the lenses:

"How could that be? From now on, you are the mistress of this house. You can decide who to invite and who not to invite. It's up to you to be the host."

He paused, glanced at Xu Li, and his eyes were full of tenderness.

Luo Ling curled her lips and smiled , " Sister Xu, there are guests coming outside. Brother Huai'an and I have to go and greet them. We won't accompany you for now. You go in first! I'm really happy that you can come."

When Luo Ling and Xu Li looked at each other, there was still a smile in her eyes, but Xu Li could clearly see the provocation and calculation in her eyes.

Xu Li was not afraid. When she looked back, her eyes were calm and cold.
