Chapter 710: Chapter 710: Cripple One of His Hands
Hua Qianqing shivered in fear: “What do you mean…?”
Li Yufei handed him a handkerchief to wipe the bloodstains.
Hua Qianqing looked at her face.
It was then he realized, in his emotional outburst earlier, a glass had smashed against her head, causing blood to flow.
Li Yufei: “You injured me like this, crippling one of your hands, isn’t that reasonable?”
Her gaze fell on his two hands, glancing at both his left and right hand: “Which hand do you usually use?”
Hua Qianqing suddenly fell silent.
Others quickly stood up, persuading: “President Li, President Hua just lost his mind for a moment, that’s why he attacked you. Please don’t take it to heart, show some mercy when possible…”
Li Yufei: “With whose generosity are you being noble?”
That person was suddenly scared silent by her gaze.
Li Yufei said, “Shao Chen.”
Shao Chen nodded and came over: “President Li.”
Li Yufei: “You know the rules, cripple one of his hands.”
After speaking, she stood up and expressionlessly walked out of the private room.
Standing outside the private room, she remained silent for a moment. Through the door, she quickly heard Hua Qianqing’s panic-stricken voice from inside: “What are you doing! What are you doing!… Ow!”
Li Yufei turned around, not lingering, and walked towards the door.
Just as she reached the door, she suddenly heard a familiar voice from behind.
“Yufei?”
Li Yufei’s expression froze, she turned around, and five meters away, Lin Qi was walking towards her, holding Huo Tingdong’s arm.
As soon as she turned around, Lin Qi saw the blood-stained hair on her forehead and was startled: “You’re hurt!”
Huo Tingdong’s expression also slightly changed.
Seeing there was no injury on her face, the blood gently flowed down from the top of her head, he imagined… she was probably cut by something sharp on the scalp, causing such blood.
Lin Qi worriedly asked: “What happened to you? Why is there so much blood? I’ll take you to the hospital!”
Li Yufei smiled softly: “There’s no rush, my assistant will take me to the hospital.”
Lin Qi looked at her nonchalant expression despite the injury, and somewhat astonished, she doubted: “Doesn’t it… hurt?”
Li Yufei didn’t expect her to ask that, her gaze slightly unfocused for a moment, it took a while to find her voice: “A little.”
Lin Qi: “Just a little?”
Everyone is afraid of pain.
She saw Li Yufei was injured, but her face showed no expression, wondering if she controlled it too well or if she had no pain receptors at all.
Li Yufei: “Lin Qi, thank you for worrying about me. However, I’m really fine, the bleeding has stopped, there shouldn’t be a big problem, not even needing stitches.”
Lin Qi said: “You’re really not afraid of pain. Our car has a first aid kit, let me check your wound, clean it up, then you can go to the hospital.”
Li Yufei gratefully said: “Thank you.”
She didn’t decline Lin Qi’s kindness, just a bit surprised: “Why do you have a medical kit in your car?”
Lin Qi: “We went on a road trip a while ago! Just in case of any emergency on the road, so we prepared one.”
As she spoke, she held Li Yufei’s hand and walked towards the parking lot.
Li Yufei was somewhat surprised.
Since childhood, she rarely held hands with girls. Lin Qi’s hands were not big, small, soft, contrasting with her hands, which seemed like just bones, cold all year round.
They reached the car.
Lin Qi opened the first aid kit, let her sit in the back seat, and used her phone’s flashlight function to check the wound.
“The wound is quite deep, looks like it needs stitches.”
The wound was on the scalp, but even with stitches, it would probably just need one or two.
Lin Qi: “How did you get this kind of injury?”
Li Yufei: “Failed business negotiations, they made a move.”
Lin Qi was a bit surprised: “Business negotiations leading to a fight?”
Li Yufei: “Mm, maybe my style is too forceful, they couldn’t stand it.”
The same thing, the same words, if it were a man like Huo Tingdong, Hua Qianqing would only be scared out of his wits. Let alone make a move, he wouldn’t even dare to talk back.
But seeing she was a woman, in the business arena, she often encountered things like this.
So, she was already used to it.
In the world of fame and fortune for many years, those who secretly looked down on her yet feared her style were numerous.
Lin Qi chuckled: “Yufei, people say you’re the Empress of Business, Iron Lady, they respect and fear you, but you don’t have to be so strong in everything, offending petty people does no good.”
Li Yufei: “The business world is a battlefield, no different from war, swords and shadows, deception and trickery, just no blood. I’ve actually offended quite a few people. In this position, many want to climb up but can’t, enjoying the rights of this position, I should pay the corresponding price.”
To wear the crown, one must bear its weight.
Lin Qi: “Doesn’t your dad feel sorry for you? If my daughter suffered such grievances outside, my husband and I would be heartbroken.”
Li Yufei smiled but didn’t explain much.
Her father never cared for her.
She grew up in a cold family, received a cold upper-class education, and became a cold person above others.
Lin Qi cleaned up her wound.
Although the wound wasn’t very serious, there were some glass shards mixed in her hair.
It was through cleaning the wound that Lin Qi realized Li Yufei had been smashed with a glass.
What kind of person!
No gentlemanly demeanor! Going so heavy-handed on a woman.
Li Yufei said: “Don’t worry, that person, his hand is crippled. He won’t dare next time.”
After a pause, Li Yufei said: “Lin Qi, thank you for being so kind to me.”
She really appreciated Lin Qi’s gentleness.
Lin Qi smiled: “You’re welcome!”
After cleaning the wound, Shao Chen came over to Li Yufei and said: “President Li, I’ve dealt with Hua Qianqing as you instructed.”
Li Yufei responded with a “hmm,” looked at Lin Qi: “It’s late, I should go home early. When I have time, I’ll treat you to dinner.”
Lin Qi smiled: “Okay.”
…
At night.
Li Yufei returned home and checked the time, it was 12 noon.
She picked up her phone and made a video call to Rong Ling.
The time difference between the two countries was 12 hours.
In New Jersey, it was exactly noon.
As soon as the video connected.
Rong Ling’s handsome and unadorned face appeared on the screen: “Fei.”
He held the phone in one hand and a tray in the other. From the camera angle, one could just see his chiseled jawline.
He seemed to be looking for a seat.
From the background, it looked like he was in a cafeteria.
Li Yufei: “Having lunch so late?”
Rong Ling found an empty seat, fixed the phone in position, adjusted the angle, and squinted at the camera, “You haven’t slept yet?”
Li Yufei: “Oh, I was thinking of you…”
