This matter was simply too unbelievable.
Xu Tingyu had also been drinking, so Qi Shifeng stayed to take care of her.
Shu Shu and A Xing could tell that the two of them had something to talk about, so they didn't stay long and left first.
Xu Tingyu sat on the sofa, her head bowed.
Under the light, the long, glittering dress on her still sparkled with diamond-like glints. Her slender swan neck curved into a beautiful arc, and her whole body was so fair that it seemed to be glowing.
Her father had once considered "giving" her away to someone in exchange for money. But in the end, he couldn't bear to let her go to her death.
Human nature was truly too complex. It couldn't be explained in just a few words.
Even she herself, who seemed to have it all together on the surface, was actually full of flaws inside. She just hid it well, and no one knew about her true self.
Qi Shifeng could tell that she was in a low mood.
It was as if some great grief was about to engulf her completely. Her nose and mouth were about to be blocked, but unlike others who would shout and struggle when drowning, she didn't even show a hint of struggle. She just let herself sink.
Qi Shifeng had seen a psychiatrist for four years, so he knew that her state was not right.
So he sat down beside her and said softly, "Don't think about anything now. We'll talk about things tomorrow. You should take off your makeup, take a shower, and go to sleep now."
Xu Tingyu pursed her lips and looked up at him.
Under the soft light, she squinted her eyes. The man's handsome features became even more three - dimensional and delicate in the halo.
She wasn't sure if it was because her mindset had changed, but she thought he had never looked better.
She blinked at him, curved her red lips, and said with a smile, "But I don't want to go to sleep now."
Before Qi Shifeng could say anything else, she hooked her arms around his neck and kissed him directly.
There was still the smell of alcohol in her breath, but it wasn't unpleasant.
Qi Shifeng firmly held her waist and gently pushed her away from him. His voice was low as he asked, "Do you know what you're doing?"
He had been holding back all this time, but he didn't want to take advantage of her.
Xu Tingyu didn't say a word. She just spread the smell of alcohol onto his lips.
Qi Shifeng understood what she meant.
She needed him now.
So he didn't say anything else. He just picked her up and carried her into the bedroom.
Thanks to Qi Shifeng, Xu Tingyu slept soundly that night.
After watching that video, she didn't even dream. She just slept deeply.
The next day, as soon as she woke up, she immediately got up, changed her clothes, put on makeup, and was about to go to the sanitarium.
But before she could leave the room, she saw Qi Shifeng coming in with breakfast. Seeing that she had already changed her clothes, there was a smile on his face.
"You're up. Have breakfast first."
He was satisfied and in high spirits. Even the corners of his eyes and brows were filled with elation.
Xu Tingyu glanced at him and said indifferently, "No need. I'm going out. If you have nothing to do, just leave."
After saying that, without looking at him again, she was about to walk out.
Qi Shifeng didn't expect her to be so cold. He was stunned for a moment before he blocked her way.
"Did I do something wrong? Didn't I satisfy you?"
He immediately reflected on himself, wondering if he had been too excited and only cared about his own pleasure.
Xu Tingyu understood what he was asking. A blush crept up behind her ears. "What are you talking about? Don't talk nonsense."
"Then why are you being so cold? You must be dissatisfied with my performance."
Qi Shifeng thought it was very likely after thinking this way.
As he said that, he put down the breakfast and was about to take off his clothes. "Let's do it again. Let's start over."
Seeing that he was already wearing very little and was about to take off his clothes, Xu Tingyu immediately rushed over and held his hands down.
"Be calm. I don't mean that."
Xu Tingyu was going crazy.
She just didn't want him to misunderstand that they could be a normal couple again after last night.
"Then what do you mean? Do you think of me as a tool to relieve boredom or a clown for entertainment?"
Qi Shifeng also understood.
Was she just going to act like she didn't know him after getting out of bed?
Who taught her to do this?
Xu Tingyu also thought it was a bit inappropriate, but of course she wouldn't admit it. She didn't even dare to show any signs of guilt.
She just said forcefully, "I don't mean anything. I'm going out now. We'll talk later."
After saying that, without giving him a chance, she ran away.
Qi Shifeng licked his back teeth behind her.
Good. She had used him up and wasn't going to give him any recognition at all.
After getting in the car, Xu Tingyu found that she was a bit sore in the waist and legs. When she changed her clothes in the morning, she had to use a lot of concealer to cover the red marks on her neck.
This damned man. She hadn't even scolded him yet, but he was already feeling wronged.
Fuming, she stepped on the accelerator and drove out of the underground garage.
All the way to the sanitarium, the smile on her lips disappeared as soon as she got out of the car.
This was the first time she had come here since she returned a few months ago.
To her surprise, during this period, Zhang Qiu knew that she was in Kyoto but had never come to look for her.
She was so quiet that it was unlike her.
Before entering the ward, she first found the attending physician.
The doctor was obviously very unfamiliar with her. Seeing her knock on the door and come in, he was stunned for a moment. "May I ask who you're looking for?"
Xu Tingyu presented the fruit basket and the gift box of supplements she had bought on the way.
"Hello, Dr. Wang. I'm Zhang Qiu's daughter. We've talked on the phone before."
It was Xu Tingyu who had paid the money for Zhang Qiu to come to this high - class sanitarium.
Zhang Qiu was very hard to serve. She had caused a ruckus in several sanitariums in succession and was once on the blacklist of all the sanitariums in Kyoto.
Finally, Xu Tingyu had asked Secretary Qian for help and paid a high price to find this place. Otherwise, considering that she had stabbed Qi Shifeng twice, she would still be in jail now.
How could she live in a single - room that cost 60,000 yuan a month, bask in the sun, drink tea, and have a special person accompany her to chat and relieve boredom every day?
As soon as Dr. Wang heard that she was Zhang Qiu's daughter, he immediately remembered. He quickly stood up. "So it's Miss Xu."
"Thank you for taking care of my mother during this period. This is just a little token of my appreciation."
There was also a thick red envelope in those gift boxes, placed in a position that was not very conspicuous but still hard to ignore.
Dr. Wang naturally saw it, and his smile grew wider. "Where. This is what we should do. Miss Xu is too polite."
Everyone in the sanitarium knew.
That Zhang Qiu, who had a strange temper and always looked so superior, had a very rich daughter.
The daughter was abroad and was very good at making money.
But it seemed that she didn't like this daughter very much. When mentioning her children, she only said that she had a son who was so well - behaved and outstanding.
When others asked her why her son hadn't come to see her for so long, she just ignored them.
During this period, all of Zhang Qiu's expenses had been paid by Xu Tingyu.
As Zhang Qiu's requirements got higher and higher, the expenses also increased, but Xu Tingyu had never said no.
"It's okay. I came today mainly to ask you, Dr. Wang. Has anyone come to see my mother here?"
Xu Tingyu sat down on the chair and asked with a smile.
