A Business Woman’s Rebirth - Chapter 13 Beat Up Beauty

The Sedan Limo made a ‘U’ turn and sped back into the ‘safety’ of “Mil D Difng”, leaving behind a pitiful looking Li Qing at the roadside. Fortunately, she didn’t have to wait long for the call car, as in just a few minutes, the car had pulled in front of her.

Now, the driver of the car was a middle-aged man who, upon seeing Li Qing’s ‘ beat up’ face nearly wanted to ask Li Qing who did this to her, who would hit such a lovely looking girl!? Li Qing, though, paid no mind to the man’s obvious scrutiny and told him the address to Lei Ju’s condominium which was in a building called Gng*. Li Qing’s voice brought the man out of his drifting mind and prompting him to drive the car, but, he did not forget to take frequent glances at the poor girl in the back seat. Why was it always that the nicest women didn’t have the best lives? Sympathy slipped into his eyes as he watched the heavy discoloration on Li Qing’s face.

The driver obviously had something to say, yet, he didn’t, so the car ride was silent until Li Qing voiced, “Could you stop here please… and could you wait for me for a bit please.” The driver pulled to the curb immediately and looked at the building they had stopped near to with zealous eyes. “Of course, of course, you take care of what you have to, I will wait here!” To him, Li Qing’s eyes seemed to show a grateful light when he responded, but when she came out of the car, a mischievous glint whizzed through her eyes while watching the nicely designed building.

The driver watched Li Qing enter the building, supporting her fully in his heart. This man was a gentleman, he wouldn’t dream of raising his hand against a woman, so too, he had a beloved daughter who he treasured dearly, and Li Qing was close in age to her, so he couldn’t help associating Li Qing with his own daughter. Therefore, to him, whoever used such a heavy hand and struck the little girl, deserved what came to them in future.

Li Qing returned to the car after thirty minutes with two streams of dried tears on her cheeks, and the driver’s heart ached. “You did well kid, don’t worry, it’ll work out,” he attempted to comfort Li Qing, but she seemed to be in a daze, so he left her in her world, afterall she needed some time to think, therefore, he resumed driving.

A while later, the car pulled alongside the pavement and Li Qing held her hand out with money to pay the driver, but he rejected it. ” No, no, no, you go ahead,” Li Qing watched him confusedly, ” you just get inside, alright? ” the driver continued, watching Li Qing with pitiful eyes. How could he bear to take money from her in this situation? Li Qing mumbled her thanks and walked into Gng, while the driver with a sigh watched her leave.

Li Qing, while receiving weird gazes from a few passers-by, went into the elevator, which she took to the sixteenth floor and went to condo number thirty-two, Lei Ju’s condominium. She pressed the bell but heard no chime, however, after a few seconds, she recognized the sound of a latch being undone behind the door, and came face to face with Lei Ju once again. Lei Ju, though, was stunned silly observing her friend’s face, “My God! What did they do to you!?” tumbled straight out of her mouth.
