After Le Tong left Ji Rui’s house, she didn’t go straight ho but made a call to Luo Yuanyuan.
As soon as Luo Yuanyuan heard her voice, she started cursing!
"Le Tong, you bastard, you’re finally showing up? Aren’t you afraid Ji Rui, that demon, will send soone to kill you?"
Sitting in the taxi, Le Tong rubbed her forehead, "Alright, let’s et up so you can scold . I’ll be at Scarlet Bar in half an hour, are you coming?"
"What? You’ve rolled back? You better stay right there and wait for ; see if I don’t strangle you!"
After swearing harshly, she hung up the phone with a smack before Le Tong could say anything.
Le Tong stared at the phone and smiled bitterly. This ti coming back, she was just asking for trouble.
Knowing she would be insulted, she still went eagerly to be a free babysitter and maid at soone else’s house. Knowing she would be scolded, she obediently brought her wallet to treat soone to drinks and take scoldings.
Half an hour later, Le Tong walked punctually into Scarlet Bar, which she hadn’t visited in so ti.
She used to co here often with the Luo siblings, but since she started working at the Ji Family, their trio outings beca less frequent, no wonder Luo Yuanyuan often teased her, saying she abandoned them after getting with President Ji.
Thinking of this, Le Tong couldn’t help but smile bitterly again, holding her glass.
"You brat, don’t think just because you have a bitter lon face, I won’t dare to scold you!"
Her head was suddenly smacked, then Luo Yuanyuan’s fierce voice ca from above.
Le Tong looked up to see Luo Yuanyuan glaring at her fiercely, looking like she wanted to eat her alive.
Le Tong leaned back, wrapped her arm around Luo Yuanyuan’s neck, and rested her body against her, closing her eyes slightly.
"Go ahead, scold! I definitely deserve it!"
Facing her friend, the strength Le Tong was holding on to vanished like a deflated balloon.
Just leaning on her friend felt incredibly reassuring.
Even though she might not understand the pain in her heart, she was the one who always stood by her side.
Sure enough, after Luo Yuanyuan finished cursing, her raised hand gently landed on Le Tong’s forehead, then her warm palm covered her tightly shut eyes.
"Tongtong, you..."
A gentle sigh sounded in Le Tong’s ear.
Le Tong tightened her grip on her friend’s neck, with a sudden urge to cry in her heart.
All these years, she had been through so many tough tis, and each ti, Luo Yuanyuan would stand silently behind her, silently supporting her, almost about to fall.
Two young won stood there in an awkward pose, without any movent, while the people in the bar seed used to such a scene. They whispered at first but soon went back to their drinks, no longer paying attention to the two.
Le Tong quietly leaned on Luo Yuanyuan until the turbulent emotions in her heart slowly cald down before she released her grip on her friend’s neck. Supporting herself on the bar, she sat up straight and smacked her waist, turning to look mischievously at Luo Yuanyuan.
"Tsk, Yuan’er, you’re no good. How did you get so skinny, you’re poking to death!"
Luo Yuanyuan’s initially slightly sad face instantly turned into one wanting to smack her in indignation.
"Le Tong, you’re looking for trouble! Burn the bridge after crossing it, huh? You got poked to death? Let see, where did it poke? Here? Here?"
As she spoke, Luo Yuanyuan randomly groped Le Tong, making the ticklish Le Tong burst into laughter, and the two of them laughed and played madly in front of the bar for a while before finally stopping. Le Tong signaled the handso bartender to bring two Long Island Iced Teas.
Luo Yuanyuan slightly froze, "Uh, Tongtong, are you trying to get drunk and sell off?"
Le Tong looked her up and down, "Hmm, even though you’ve gotten thinner, I should still be able to sell you at a good price to Xu Tao!"
Luo Yuanyuan nonchalantly propped up her chin and handed her phone to her.
"Here, make the call quickly, set a high price; low prices don’t do justice to the title of Miss Luo!"
Le Tong took the phone, smacking her lips while glaring at her, "You’re so eager to get married?"
Luo Yuanyuan nodded, "Yeah, if I don’t marry soon, my dad said he’ll pack off and give away!"
Le Tong chuckled and returned the phone, "Arguing with Uncle Luo again? You and your dad are sothing else; you clearly love each other so much, yet why do you always fight until you want to leave ho?"
As she spoke, Le Tong shook her head, but in her heart, she envied Luo Yuanyuan.
Thinking of herself, there’s no chance to even argue with her mom or dad anymore.
"Love my ass, he said the other day it was because of that mom’s health got so bad!"
Luo Yuanyuan throwing tantrums with Mr. Luo was like a woman’s monthly period, coming every now and then, but within days, they would reconcile on their own.
Le Tong was used to it and too lazy to intervene, guessing that the rest of the Luo Family knew this pattern too, so whenever the father and daughter fought, no matter how fierce, nobody would step in to diate.
Once the drinks arrived, Luo Yuanyuan took a big gulp, the spiciness making her tear up. After the alcohol took effect and her emotions settled slightly, she formally asked Le Tong.
"Alright, stop changing the subject, tell , what big trouble happened this month? Did you resolve it yet?"
Luo Yuanyuan didn’t know that Ji Rui had found Le Tong through clues from her, so she only thought Le Tong’s return ant everything was solved.
Le Tong picked up her drink and took a small sip. The alcohol’s sting traveled from her tongue to her stomach, shocking her system.
"How is it, not resolved yet? Do you need my help?"
Because of the ten thousand yuan earlier, Luo Yuanyuan thought Le Tong had financial issues.
Le Tong remained silent because she wasn’t sure if the current situation could be called resolved.
Because the situation had evolved from the previous contract and escape event into sothing else.
Now, to Le Tong, Ji Rui and the contract seed trivial.
When it ca to Ji Rui and the contract, Le Tong could avoid them, but this matter she couldn’t evade, even if it might never be resolved, she chose to face it head-on constantly.
"Say sothing!" Luo Yuanyuan impatiently kicked her.
Le Tong looked up, seeing the worry on Luo Yuanyuan’s face, she nodded gently.
"It’s resolved!"
So things, even if spoken, wouldn’t help her. If they couldn’t help, then there’s no need to say them.
But Luo Yuanyuan wasn’t so easily fooled. She fixed her gaze and kicked Le Tong harder, "Resolved, and you look like this?"
However, despite her anger, she didn’t press further. She only raised her glass and clinked it against Le Tong’s, then downed a big gulp of her drink.
After drinking, as Le Tong predicted, she bent over the table coughing for a while, then pulled out her phone and called Xu Tao.
"Co to Scarlet and pick us up!"
Upon hearing Le Tong had ordered Long Island Iced Teas, she had resolved that they wouldn’t leave sober tonight.
