After leaving the police station.
Song Xi asked Lou Yuming, "Do you think I was too heartless?"
He must have seen everything that happened just now.
She admitted that she was indeed cruel, but the moment they sold her to the human traffickers, Song Xi knew that she would never reconcile with them in this lifetime!
She was still a young girl, no matter how cold and ruthless she sounded, she still felt guilty.
Lou Yuming placed a bracelet into her palm and praised in a gentle voice, "An eye for an eye, well done."
His encouragement dispelled the guilt in Song Xi's heart.
She looked at the bracelet, "This is..."
Lou Yuming said, "Found in your clothes pocket."
This was Lingling's bracelet.
Song Xi asked, "Where is the little girl who was kidnapped with us?"
"She was probably picked up by her family."
Lou Yuming didn't care about others; it was just a bracelet. He said to Song Xi, "Throw it away if you don't want it."
This was a gift from Lingling's mother to Lingling before she passed away, it couldn't be thrown away!
Song Xi thought for a moment and handed the bracelet to the police station.
The police would probably call Lingling's family.
Kidnapping was a nightmare for a child, so it was best for the related people not to meet. Otherwise, she was afraid of stimulating Lingling.
A month later, Ge Baitao's company was renovated.
The company was not large, but it was well-located in the city center, surrounded by well-known enterprises, and only a train station away from Zhang's Group.
Even though Ge Baitao was unwilling, Old Man Ge still called Lou Yuming, asking him to spare some time to guide his useless granddaughter.
Ge Baitao was somewhat unconvinced, "How am I useless? Grandpa, just you wait and see, Xi Xi and I will definitely make Bai Xi Culture better and better, we will surpass you!"
The old man was perfunctory, "Yes, yes, yes, our little Taozi is the most amazing."
Lou Yuming didn't pay much attention to childish games, but out of consideration for Song Xi, he transferred a team from his company.
They were all elite teams, so even if Ge Baitao didn't understand business, with these people around, she would only make profits.
Ge Baitao was very angry at first, feeling that Lou Yuming was insulting her, and complained to Song Xi.
After working for two days, she realized she couldn't keep up with the pace and simply gave up.
She was still only suited to be a hands-off boss.
However, it was her first entrepreneurial venture after all. Although the old man was not optimistic, he still doted on his granddaughter.
So, to help her expand her network, he planned to host a party and also invited Song Xi.
Ge Baitao told her, "Dress up nicely. There will definitely be big shots from the film and television industry. Let's not miss this opportunity!"
Song Xi didn't want to dampen her spirits, so she agreed.
Haiyue Mountain Villa.
"Want to go together?"
Lou Yuming was lying on the bed, with a look of post-coital satisfaction.
He took a puff of his cigarette and lazily watched the woman selecting dresses in front of the wardrobe. She had picked out several but seemed unsatisfied with them.
"No, it wouldn't be good if Taozi saw us."
Lou Yuming flicked the ash into the transparent ashtray, his tone somewhat displeased, "Am I so shameful?"
Song Xi ran over and touched his face, "No, it's just that you're too dazzling, and I'm afraid of gossip."
Lou Yuming was very pleased with her coaxing skills, even though she hadn't done anything.
"With me here, who would dare to gossip."
Song Xi returned to the mirror and held up a goose-yellow dress against herself. She clearly didn't want to discuss the topic further and quickly changed the subject.
"You haven't told Taozi about the kidnapping, have you?"
Presumably not, otherwise, if Ge Baitao knew, she would have gone ballistic.
Lou Yuming extinguished his cigarette, his voice a little hoarse, "No one knows except Shao Cheng. But the old lady somehow heard about it and told me to take you back, saying it's too dangerous outside."
Song Xi paused, "Why didn't you tell me then?"
"You weren't going back, so what was there to say."
Song Xi realized that Lou Yuming didn't seem to like Grandma Zhang very much.
"Are you really okay?" Lou Yuming got out of bed and walked up to her.
He was bare-chested, with well-defined abs and a mermaid line. There were faint bloodstains on his chest, which Song Xi had inflicted.
Song Xi turned away, "What could be wrong with me? It's been over a month, I'm an adult."
"Yes, an adult."
Lou Yuming looked at the hickey on her neck, his eyes slightly darkening. He reached out and rubbed it with his fingertip, causing Song Xi to tremble.
"Then why do you still suddenly cry out in your sleep at night, hmm?"
