Chapter 24: The Green Tea’s Rank is Too Low

Li Chunqiu, displaying her cut hand, approached them.

She said to Shen Yuchu, “Little sister, go rest in the room. I’ll cook the meal right away. Even if you’re leaving, you should eat first! Look… I’ve… been busy, it would be embarrassing if you didn’t eat!”

While speaking, Li Chunqiu deliberately waved her cut hand in front of Shen Yuchu.

Shen Yuchu turned her arm.

“Sister, if your hand is cut, you shouldn’t show me, you should show him.”

Hearing this, Lin Xuan bypassed Li Chunqiu, scooped up Shen Yuchu, carried her to the bed, and gently placed her down. “Rest well, I’ll cook.”

He then pulled a small blanket over her.

To prevent Shen Yuchu from leaving again, he closed the bedroom door.

As he closed the door, he said, “I’ll call you when the food is ready.”

Shen Yuchu: “No need, I’m not eating anyway!”

Lin Xuan didn’t reply and left.

Soon, Li Chunqiu’s voice came from the kitchen, “Lin Xuan, peel the garlic.”

“Lin Xuan, wash the bell peppers.”

“Lin Xuan, cut the tomatoes like this…”

Shen Yuchu scoffed: This green tea’s rank is too low, not worth her time!

She didn’t want to get entangled with these two. She had a big deal in the afternoon, a contract signing with foreigners. If she told Lin Xuan, he wouldn’t believe her.

Shen Yuchu looked at the window, no security bars. It was the ground floor, a good location.

She knelt on the bed, carefully observing outside.

She gauged the distance!

Tsk!

There was too much grass on the ground. She wasn’t wearing socks, going out like this would definitely hurt her feet.

Shen Yuchu’s eyes lit up. She saw the small blanket on her legs.

Huh?

This is a perfect makeshift footstool!

She opened the window, tossed the blanket out, then her white handbag. She then climbed out the window.

After jumping out, she picked up her bag, hopped on one foot against the wall, then slowly walked towards the compound gate.

Old Zheng, the old man of the compound, was in his small room, listening to opera and swaying his head.

Shen Yuchu frowned in pain. It was summer, and the ground was hot enough to blister her feet.

Old Zheng only checked people entering the compound, not those leaving. So he didn’t look at anyone going out.

Shen Yuchu slowly left the compound and hailed a taxi on the street.

The taxi driver saw she wasn’t wearing shoes.

He looked her up and down – stylish clothes, a slit skirt, and difficulty walking.

He smiled, but still asked, “Miss, where to?”

Shen Yuchu was sweating from the pain in her feet.

Shen Yuchu, an overseas PhD student, though her soul was in the original owner’s body, still retained her skills.

She understood the driver’s intentions from his gaze. She said, “Drive to 100 mph!”

The driver was stunned, “What?”

Shen Yuchu deliberately flashed the knife and money in her white handbag. “I said 100 mph, didn’t you hear?”

The driver glanced at the knife and money.

He was terrified, he dared not look at Shen Yuchu again, his breathing almost stopped.

“Miss, I… I… I’ll listen to you, don’t kill me, I… I don’t want your money.”

“Go to Shangxiang Science and Technology Trade, through the back, entrance D!”

“Miss, that entrance isn’t often used!”

“I said stop there, stop there!”

“Sigh!”

Sweat dripped down the driver’s forehead, cheeks, and chin.

Shen Yuchu coldly glanced at him – a man with lust but no courage.

Soon, Shen Yuchu got off at Shangxiang Science and Technology Trade. The taxi sped away without taking her money.

Heh…

She accidentally got a free ride!

At Shangxiang Science and Technology Trade, the attendant was shocked to see her barefoot.

However, upon seeing Shen Yuchu’s outfit, a smile forced its way onto her face.

“Madam, what can I help you with?”

Shen Yuchu pointed to two outfits on the rack, “This suit, size S top, size M skirt, five pairs of white socks, and two pairs of size 36 soft, shock-absorbing shoes.”

Before the attendant could speak, Shen Yuchu produced a wad of cash, “Bill me!”

The attendant immediately smiled, “Right away!”

She quickly prepared the clothes. Shen Yuchu put on her socks and shoes.

These shoes were expensive, but money could buy anything at Shangxiang Science and Technology Trade.

Shen Yuchu took the elevator to the third floor, had a simple lunch at the restaurant, and booked a room.

After a comfortable shower and changing into new clothes, she took out the ointment Lin Xuan had gotten from the military district.

She sat on the bed and carefully applied it.

Then, she checked the time – the contract signing was at 4:30 pm.

She could still take a nap.

Shen Yuchu set the alarm clock.

——

Lin Xuan finished cooking and went to the bedroom to call Shen Yuchu for dinner.

Li Chunqiu saw Lin Xuan heading to the bedroom and made sure he didn’t look back.

She grabbed some salt and quickly sprinkled it into a bowl of rice, stirring it with chopsticks.

She then put the salted rice aside and served two normal bowls, one for herself and one for Lin Xuan.

She placed the salted rice bowl separately. If that woman came out to eat, she would give her that bowl!
