In the poorly lit alleys, the walls are mottled with scrapes, the stench of garbage cans is pervasive, and the rancid smell is strong and disgusting when the sun shines.

Li Xiyue endured the feeling of nausea, and while raising her hand to cover her mouth and nose, she walked inside step by step.

At the end of the alley, several sounds of playful abuse came, both men and women.

Although she hesitated for a moment, thinking of the embarrassment she felt when she was scolded away by Anne yesterday, her heart burned with anger again, and anger washed away a trace of hesitation.

Several young men with red and yellow hair were standing or squatting and smoking, and the strong smell of smoke mixed with a strange smell came, Li Xiyue's face changed, knowing that the things in the cigarette were not simple.

The sudden appearance of a strange woman stunned these people, and then they looked at each other and showed a hehe sneer.

"It's really bold that a woman dares to come in here." Huang Mao, who was leaning against the wall, suddenly came to his senses, and his eyes looked Li Xiyue's figure up and down wantonly and greedily, and even paused for a few seconds at the key part.

"What, are you here to play with us?"

As soon as Huang Mao's frivolous words came out, everyone else whistled and looked at Li Xiyue and smiled.

Li Xiyue felt disgusted in her heart, and said with a cold face: "I want to make a deal with you, as long as I give you money, you should do anything, right?" ”

Although there was disdain in her tone, one of Li Xiyue's hands hidden behind her was clenched into a fist and a handful of cold sweat.

She thought hard yesterday to find a way to get revenge on Anne, and after thinking about it, she decided to buy a few people to rectify her. Besides, it would be better if she could be taken directly from Shen Xueyao's side.

There are a lot of ruffians here, as long as they are paid enough, they will naturally do things for themselves.

Who let her do this to her in the way of her own plans?

"Money? Do you think we're so easy to handle? Huang Mao, who was squatting on the ground, threw the cigarette butt on the ground and staggered to his feet, with a circle of red around his eyes, which looked particularly scary.

Seeing that he was about to approach him, Li Xiyue hurriedly took out a wad of banknotes: "There are two thousand here, which is considered a deposit, and I will give you another three thousand later, is it enough?" ”

I didn't expect her to come for real, Huang Mao looked at the money and asked, "What deal?" ”

"Tomorrow around 10 o'clock in the art exhibition hall to hold an art exhibition, I want you to bump into this woman." Li Xiyue took out the secretly taken photo of Annie, with a ruthless face.

"It's just five thousand, and you want us to hit someone?" Yellow-haired eyes widened.

Although they do bad things, it does not mean that they will kill.

"It's good to just intimidate, even if you really hurt her, it doesn't matter, can't you even control this degree?." Li Xiyue said impatiently, she is not a fool, and she will not be able to find out when the time comes.

The yellow hairs glanced at each other, and the one closest to Li Xiyue snatched the money from her hand.

"It's just a woman, don't let five thousand dollars be in vain." He spat on the ground and said sinisterly.

Li Xiyue was extremely satisfied in her heart, and the corners of her lips were unconscious

A sneer elicited him.

She couldn't wait to see Anne's frightened pale face, and she was relieved.

After explaining the matter, Li Xiyue returned to the hotel in a very good mood, but just as she was about to enter the door, a voice sounded behind her: "Miss Li." ”

It's Annie.

Li Xiyue's body suddenly stiffened, she shouldn't have noticed something, right? Li Xiyue's heartbeat suddenly accelerated.

Reluctantly squeezed out a smile, and when Li Xiyue turned her head, she saw that Anne and Shen Xueyao were both present.

Anne's face was not quite right, and there seemed to be a hint of embarrassment in her eyes.

Which play do they want to play?

Li Xiyue was puzzled and apprehensive in her heart, but she still pretended to be puzzled and asked, "Mr. Shen, Annie...... Miss, what are you looking for me? ”

Anne didn't speak, and Shen Xueyao gently pushed her.

Anne said with a somewhat embarrassed face: "Li Xiyue, I was too extreme last night, I have always been straightforward, and what I said was more serious. ”

She took a deep breath and said, "I thought you would have liked to let me go, but now that I think about it, I guess I guessed a lot. ”

Last night, after Shen Xueyao's persuasion, Anne's mood calmed down a little bit, and she felt that although Li Xiyue was a little strange, she had been pleasing herself before, so she wouldn't suddenly want to leave by herself, right?

Besides, she actually only heard the last sentence, because she was so angry that she was so aggressive.

After all, she was too radical and what she said was too hurtful, and Anne still had some apologies in her heart.

You actually came to apologize to yourself? Li Xiyue was stunned in her heart, she didn't expect that Anne was not looking for her to ask for guilt, not malicious sarcasm, but actually apologizing?

But after being stunned for a moment, Li Xiyue immediately showed a big smile and said: "I know that what I said is too easy for people to misunderstand, and I also reflected on it last night, if it were me who heard these words, I would definitely have misunderstood, so I didn't blame Miss Anne." ”

"Xiyue, I'm sorry yesterday." Shen Xueyao glanced at Li Xiyue with some guilt, she was talking about her failure to comfort her.

"It's okay Mr. Shen, since the misunderstanding has been resolved, it's okay, and you don't have to feel guilty." Li Xiyue pretended to be generous and said with a smile, and there was no trace of entanglement on her gentle smile, as if she had really let go completely.

In fact, Li Xiyue sneered in her heart, and said secretly: You and Anne have been good friends for many years, and I am just an employee who is inferior to you, of course I will not take me seriously.

It's really disgusting to come over and behave now.

Anne took the velvet box out of her coat pocket and handed it to her, saying, "I specially picked it for you, if you don't dislike it, take it as my apology." ”

The box opened, revealing a pair of stud earrings with diamond-encrusted stars adorned with pearls, round and shiny, apparently in excellent condition.

Li Xiyue naturally raised her hand to take it, and said with a touched look: "Thank you, since this is the case."

I can't accept a gift. ”

However, they didn't notice that when Li Xiyue looked down at this pair of studs, there was a surging cold light in her eyes. She sneered in her heart, she really thought that she could buy it with a pair of earrings, and it was just right to give this pair of earrings to those gangsters.

How funny would Anne know that the car that hit her tomorrow was hired at her own expense?

Anne's face softened a little, and she also smiled and said, "Since it's all said, then I'll go back." ”

Just as she turned around to leave, Li Xiyue seemed to suddenly remember something and shouted, "Mr. Shen, Miss Annie." ”

"There's an exhibition tomorrow morning at the nearby art gallery, and there's a piece of work that I like very much, so I thought if you didn't mind, could you come with me?" Li Xiyue's expression seemed to be a little apprehensive and hopeful.

Shen Xueyao immediately nodded in agreement: "Of course you can, it just so happens that we also want to go over and have a look." ”

seemed to happily make an appointment for tomorrow's itinerary, but when Li Xiyue returned to the room, she casually threw the red velvet box on the table, and her face could no longer hide her gloom.

Tomorrow, Anne, wait to accept my gift to you!

The time of the exhibition was in the morning, so it was rare for Shen Xueyao not to sleep lazy, and she picked out her clothes and went out, but she saw that Annie and Li Xiyue were already waiting for her.

"Sorry, long waiting." Shen Xueyao said and walked over, and followed the two of them downstairs and went out together.

rented the hotel's car, Anne was responsible for driving, while Li Xiyue and Shen Xueyao sat in the back seat.

Shen Xueyao seemed to be in a very good mood, and said with a smile: "Xiyue, I have never heard you say that you still like art exhibitions, this time the paintings are very niche, and I am just curious to go over and take a look." ”

Li Xiyue's face flashed with embarrassment, she didn't even know what the theme of today's art exhibition was.

"It's just some interest, in fact, I don't know much about it, so it's an eye-opener." Li Xiyue replied cautiously.

The three of you say a word, and the atmosphere is quite harmonious.

Li Xiyue looked out the window a little nervously, wondering if those gangsters would take the money and run away, what if they didn't do something for themselves?

The car was already parked outside the exhibition hall, and Anne had no choice but to park in a remote place opposite the exhibition, and the three of them walked over together.

However, just as she was about to walk to the door of the exhibition, Shen Xueyao sighed: "My bag seems to be still in the car, I'll go over and pick it up." ”

Anne stopped her and said, "I'll go, the key is with me anyway." ”

Li Xiyue didn't listen to their words, her eyes looked around a little anxiously, and she really didn't see any trace of those gangsters.

I couldn't help but feel a trace of anger in my heart, didn't I really come over?

Shen Xueyao nodded, and Anne walked across the road.

However, at this moment, a minivan with paint peeling and honking its horn came at a very fast speed.

The windows were wide open, and the car was filled with deafening rock music, and a yellow-haired young man was cheering outside with half his head open, and his mouth was still spitting cigarettes.

There were a few screams on the road, and some French ladies fled in embarrassment.

His face turned pale with fright.

The horn of the car sounded as if it were a prank, but the car rushed straight towards Anne, and the thugs whistled in their mouths.

The sudden change made Anne not react, and she was stunned on the spot.

"Annie! Be careful! Shen Xueyao's face turned pale, and her mouth shouted, but her body had already reacted one step ahead.

"Mr. Shen! Don't go over! Li Xiyue didn't expect Shen Xueyao to rush over suddenly, she originally just let these gangsters scare Annie, but the sudden change made Li Xiyue's face change greatly.

She raised her hand to grab Shen Xueyao, but after all, she was still a step too late, her fingers wiped Shen Xueyao's clothes, and she watched Shen Xueyao rush towards Annie.
