Today was Old Su's moment to shine, so he naturally played host generously, treating the mid-to-senior management of Ziyu Fashion to a grand banquet.
He felt especially indebted to Mo Hongti, who had provided him with protection.
Li Qianfan, as the son-in-law and sales director, naturally had to show up for Old Su, at least covering all the expenses.
After three rounds of drinks and five courses, Li Qianfan quietly slipped out of the hotel.
He simply couldn't stand the sight of Old Su, showered with adoration by dozens of company elites (plus team leaders) and drunk, boasting to the heavens.
As soon as he stepped out, Mo Hongti, the distinguished guest of the banquet, also excused herself, feigning a trip to the restroom.
The two walked side-by-side along the sidewalk, chatting and laughing.
As they neared an intersection, Mo Hongti suddenly raised her hand and pointed ahead: "Hey, little brother, look quickly. Isn't that person up ahead your boss Dai?"
What did she mean by "my boss Dai"?
Li Qianfan felt a pang of annoyance and instinctively looked up.
Indeed, it was.
The woman in a hip-hugging skirt, with fair and smooth legs and high heels, wasn't it Dai Paipai?
"Why is she dressed like this, alone on the street at night?"
As Li Qianfan was stunned, he saw Dai Paipai ignore the red light at the intersection and directly cross the road.
Then, as the green light turned on in the south, a car speeding north ran through the intersection without even slowing down.
But Dai Paipai, who had run the red light, seemed completely unaware and continued walking.
"Not good!"
Li Qianfan didn't have time to consider why Dai Paipai was dressed so provocatively and wandering alone on the street at night.
His reaction was purely instinctive. He immediately lunged forward, shouting, "Boss Dai, watch out for the car!"
Honk honk—
The driver, startled to see a pedestrian suddenly appear not far in front of his car, ignoring the traffic lights, frantically honked the horn.
But Dai Paipai didn't even look at the car. She only heard Li Qianfan's shout and turned her head sharply.
The moment she turned her head.
The dry, wooden eyes instantly welled up with emotion.
Her voice trembling and filled with a powerful emotion, she cried out, "Dad! Come!"
As the speeding car was about to violently hit her, Li Qianfan also pounced in front of her, grabbing her waist and swiftly turning.
Screech—
The driver, terrified, instinctively slammed on the brakes.
Even though Li Qianfan was fast in avoiding the danger after grabbing Dai Paipai, the presence of a 53-kilogram woman in his arms slowed his movements by two-thirds compared to normal.
"Little brother!"
Mo Hongti, who witnessed the entire scene, let out a frightened cry.
Fortunately, the driver braked in time.
If the driver had panicked and not reacted, Li Qianfan would surely have been hit.
However, even so, the sudden stop of the speeding car, with its powerful inertia, caused the vehicle to lurch forward and hit Li Qianfan's leg with a bang.
Li Qianfan stumbled, holding Dai Paipai, and took several quick steps north before regaining his balance.
This scene felt somewhat familiar.
The day Wang Mingshuai was poisoned, Dai Paipai's high heel had gotten stuck on the accelerator, and she had nearly hit Li Qianfan, who was saving a child.
And tonight again—
This time, it was Li Qianfan who had timely grabbed Dai Paipai.
Then, the scene unfolded as expected.
The shaken driver stuck his head out the car window and cursed, "Damn it, are you trying to die!?"
Li Qianfan, with pain in his right hip, didn't pull the driver, Zhao Lianjin, who was cursing him, out of the car window like last time.
Because last time Dai Paipai was driving and ran a red light, and this time, Dai Paipai was still the one who ran the red light.
"I'm sorry, buddy."
Li Qianfan, holding Dai Paipai, quickly bent down to apologize to the driver. Mo Hongti rushed over and hooked her arm through his.
Mo Hongti didn't care who was right or wrong.
Seeing the driver being unreasonable and still cursing Li Qianfan, she became furious.
She glared at the driver and shouted, "If you dare curse again, do you believe I'll knock out all your teeth?"
The driver looked.
Oh, this was a beautiful woman in red.
Oh, this beautiful woman had such a powerful aura. How did she look more and more like Mo Hongti, the Black Night Queen of Qingyun, whom he had seen by chance a while ago?
He immediately shut up—
After silencing the driver with a single shout, Mo Hongti pulled Li Qianfan onto the sidewalk.
She then reprimanded him, "Little brother, are you trying to die? If something happens to you, how will I live?"
Her words.
Li Qianfan was about to retort when he saw the fear and lingering shock on Mo Hongti's face.
Only then did he realize she genuinely cared about him, not just picking a fight.
As Li Qianfan carried Dai Paipai onto the sidewalk, he tried to put her down, but she clung tightly to his neck with both hands, gazing up at him with a silly smile.
Li Qianfan frowned. "Get down."
Dai Paipai whispered, "Dad, carry Paipai to the hotel. Tonight, I'll show you how delicious I am."
Li Qianfan—
Mo Hongti, holding his arm, had clearly heard how Dai Paipai addressed him and what she was saying.
You mother.
She actually called little brother "Dad."
Indeed, she lived up to her reputation of being a subtly seductive character—
Mo Hongti cursed inwardly, but she let go of Li Qianfan and walked away quietly to a distance.
She was temporarily stepping away because she feared Li Qianfan might feel embarrassed with her present.
Li Qianfan's expression darkened.
Dai Paipai's eyes flickered, and she silently released his neck.
Beside the roadside greenery, there was a small bench provided for pedestrians to rest.
Dai Paipai sat on the bench, her hands in her lap, her head bowed, staring at her toes, motionless.
No matter what Li Qianfan asked her, she remained silent.
When a taxi passed by, Li Qianfan finally lost his patience. "Dai Paipai, if you continue like this, I'm really leaving you."
Dai Paipai remained in the same posture—
As Li Qianfan was about to kick the bench to show his anger, his phone rang.
It was Su Ziyu calling, his tone casual, "Qianfan, where are you now? I've arrived at the hotel."
Today was Old Su's big day.
Li Qianfan, as his son-in-law and a senior executive at Ziyu Fashion, had to drink.
Since both father-in-law and son-in-law had been drinking, they couldn't drive, so Su Ziyu was coming to pick them up.
"I'm outside now, getting some air. I'll be back soon. Wait for me."
Li Qianfan naturally couldn't reveal his encounter with Dai Paipai on the street.
"Mm."
Su Ziyu, who had just driven past them in a taxi, stood in the shade of the greenery a few dozen meters away, gazing at Dai Paipai, and gave a soft "Mm."
"Dai Paipai, my wife has already gone to the hotel over there. I have to go."
After finishing the call, Li Qianfan told Dai Paipai and turned to leave.
Dai Paipai, however, reached out and grabbed his shirt collar, holding on tightly, not allowing him to leave.
When asked, she wouldn't speak.
When Li Qianfan wanted to leave, she wouldn't let him.
Li Qianfan was truly annoyed—
Dai Paipai suddenly burst into tears.
Her heart-wrenching cry echoed, "I'll tell you! Wang Mingshuai forced me to come to you for sex so he could regain his virility!"
