Chapter 8 (2/2)

“Qingcheng will give you a call when the time comes!” Tang Yu said lightly. His words made Meng Qingcheng realize he had other plans.

After the doctor left, the atmosphere turned silent and eerie. Pei Qiqi sat there very unnaturally, not sure what she should say.

Tang Yu gestured for the lawyer to take a seat and he took a seat opposite of Pei Qiqi. His tone was somewhat kind, “I think you came to me to help you out with something.”

Pei Qiqi’s gaze shot upwards and she looked a little surprised… How could someone like him not know her intention? As for these two, one seemed to be a close friend of his, and the other looked like a lawyer.

She didn’t speak. Tang Yu continued, “Someone’s giving you a hard time, am I right?”

She nodded bitterly.

He then faintly smiled. “If you want, we can sign a contract…”

He spoke softly, “I will buy you. As for how much money you need, you can speak of a number!”

Though she expected him to make this rule and this was her original intention, Pei Qiqi hesitated.

Someone who made Mr. Zhong so utterly terrified… was that someone she could provoke?

“Of course, you may also choose to leave!” Tang Yu’s body leaned back in a relaxed manner. His tone was emotionless.

He was no philanthropist. If she wasn’t willing, then he wasn’t going to ask her about her current situation…

There were prices to his kind-heartedness.

Pei Qiqi’s tiny hand tightened. At that moment, she remembered the way Pei Minghe laid in the hospital and remembered Zhou Meilin’s restless coercion…

Her nails dug deeply into her skin and her pink fingertips turned lighter and lighter. Her flesh was in pain and in a daze, she heard his soft voice, “You should get rid of your bad habits. Or else I will have to invite the doctor over again.”

She snapped back to reality and looked up to him with a raised head. Somehow, there was a faint smile in his gaze.
