Chapter 18 I wish you could sleep with the rent collector first, then sleep with Gu Huaizhou.
The two were sitting in the car when they soon saw the lawyer bail Jiang Qingkong out.
After being locked up for just one day, Jiang Qingkong looked much more haggard, showing none of the elegance and beauty she had displayed at her engagement banquet.
Jiang Zhulang clearly felt sorry for his daughter, and kept putting his arm around her shoulder and gently coaxing her, as if he were comforting his own precious child.
Seeing this harmonious and heartwarming scene, Li Xi couldn't help but complain: "When your dad is having sex with his young mistress in bed, doesn't he feel guilty towards his precious daughter?"
Jiang Xinghe scoffed and sneered, "He didn't mess with Jiang Qingkong, which is already considered to be having some bottom line."
Li Xi gasped: "...You said it yourself."
A good girl like her would never say such a despicable thing.
The two went to the bank again and cashed the check.
Li Xi gave Jiang Xinghe a sum of money as agreed, but Jiang Xinghe refused, saying, "You helped me get my mother's portrait back, so I don't need the money."
Li Xi said, "You're willing to sell everything for nothing to buy the film and television rights to 'Seven Days of Nightmare,' are you really not going to take this money?"
Jiang Xinghe waved his hand and said, "Even if I'm short of money, I can't accept your money given in such a difficult way."
Li Xi was taken aback.
Jiang Xinghe patted Li Xi on the shoulder, his face turning serious and solemn. "If you hadn't been lucky enough to escape this ordeal, you would definitely be the most notorious slut and vixen in Dongzhou City by now."
“Li Xi, you deserve this money. How can I, a man, take your money?”
"Jiang Xinghe, you're a really nice person." Li Xi decided that she would become good friends with Jiang Xinghe from now on.
"You just found out?" Jiang Xinghe shrugged. "If you really want to thank me, treat me to dinner. How about that rooftop French restaurant across the street?"
That restaurant is outrageously expensive, a rip-off for rich fools. Xie Xingyun even took Li Xi there for Christmas two years ago.
Li Xi readily nodded, "Okay!"
The restaurant has limited seating, so reservations are required in advance. Those who do not wish to make a reservation will have to pay double the fee.
Having earned 50 million in just three days, Li Xi was in high spirits and immediately paid double the fee, taking Jiang Xinghe to the best window-side couple's seat in the entire restaurant with the best view.
Raising his wine glass, Li Xi said to Jiang Xinghe, "Come, let's celebrate my freedom, wealth, and new friend Jiang Xinghe!"
Jiang Xinghe wiped the dessert from the corner of his mouth, raised his glass to clink with hers, and said, "This is also to celebrate that I received my mother's portrait."
"cheers!"
The two drank their first cup and then raised their second.
This time, Li Xi said, "Now that we're neighbors, we should love each other and help each other out! But let me make this clear first: if you get arrested for having an affair with a married woman, I won't help you hide her."
Jiang Xinghe chuckled, clinked glasses with her, and said, "Then I wish you success in sleeping with the landlord first, then with Gu Huaizhou, and becoming a wealthy Mrs. Gu!"
"well said!"
After finishing his second glass of wine, Li Xi raised his glass to Jiang Xinghe again.
This time, Li Xi was a bit at a loss for words. After thinking for a moment, she said, "Then I wish you success in buying the film and television rights to 'Seven Days of Nightmare,' becoming a producer and making the movie. May it be a box office hit and make you rich overnight!"
Jiang Xinghe liked hearing that. "Then I wish you pass your driver's license test every time!"
"it is good!"
The other tables were occupied by couples on dates, creating a warm and intimate atmosphere, but their table was different.
Hearing their conversation, the guests at the next table turned to look and couldn't help but chuckle.
But they were both orphans who had no one to love them, and they didn't care about the opinions of others.

After drinking, for safety reasons, Li Xi suggested hiring a designated driver.
Jiang Xinghe was unusually cooperative and readily agreed, "Okay."
He opened the app and quickly booked a designated driver.
Looking up and meeting Li Xi's strange gaze, Jiang Xinghe couldn't help but chuckle: "What? Do you think I'm the kind of spoiled brat who drives when he's drunk?"
Li Xi nodded honestly.
Because in his previous life, Jiang Xinghe was driving under the influence of alcohol, crashed through the railing of the city moat, and drowned in the Dongjiang River.
Because of his death, Jiang Qingkong and Xie Xingyun's wedding was postponed for a year.
That's why Li Xi found it strange when she learned that Jiang Xinghe was a law-abiding and good boy.
How could someone who only drank three glasses of wine obediently ask for a designated driver to drive him to death while drunk?
Jiang Xinghe leaned against the elevator and said to Li Xi, "When I was riding my motorcycle before, I witnessed a little girl being hit by a drunk driver. I will never forget the look in her eyes when she landed."
Thinking of that little girl, Jiang Xinghe felt an overwhelming sadness in his heart.
He said, "I'm a good-for-nothing, but I'm also a law-abiding citizen. Drunk driving not only harms myself, but also others. I hate drunk driving the most."
Upon hearing this, Li Xi gave Jiang Xinghe a deep look before nodding and saying, "A person doesn't necessarily have to achieve something in life; it's enough to have a clear conscience."
"If being a loser makes you happy, then be a loser for life, Jiang Xinghe."
On the way, they actually encountered traffic police checking for drunk driving.
Li Xi secretly rejoiced, "See? Luckily I found a designated driver."
Both were law-abiding citizens who showed no fear in front of the traffic police. However, they never expected that the designated driver had been drinking!
When the device detected that the designated driver's blood alcohol level was above the legal limit, Jiang Xinghe kicked the back of the seat and cursed under his breath, "Damn it! Why are you taking orders after drinking!"
"If you hit someone, will you pay compensation? Will you pay with your life or with money?"
"I called you for peace of mind, and you fucking gave me alcohol!" Jiang Xinghe was so angry that he dragged the designated driver out of the car and raised his hand to hit him, but was stopped in time by the traffic police.
Li Xi quickly chased after Jiang Xinghe, grabbed his arm, and pulled him under the tree. "Don't hit him! Hitting someone will get you detained."
"That idiot!" Jiang Xinghe was still furious and kicked the tree in anger.
Over there, the designated driver was feigning innocence, explaining to the traffic police: "I really only had one drink, it was beer, please, officer, have mercy and let me off the hook."
The traffic police officer ignored the young man's explanation. He only recognized the data from the testing device and said sternly, "Driving under the influence of alcohol is punishable by a fine of 1500 yuan, 12 demerit points, and a 6-month suspension of your driver's license!"
The young man was almost in tears.
Jiang Xinghe was about to cry too, he was so angry he cried!
The fines and points deductions will be paid by the designated driver, but Jiang Xinghe still needs to take the vehicle registration certificate tomorrow and go with the designated driver to deal with the traffic violations.
Jiang Xinghe was so frustrated that he didn't want to go home. "Li Xi, you can walk back yourself. I'm not going back." After saying that, Jiang Xinghe put one hand in his pocket and walked away grumbling.
Li Xi walked home by herself, taking the opportunity to clear her slightly tipsy mind.
When she passed by the pet hospital, she went in and spent some time with Patrick, preparing to feed him cat food.
The nurse said, "Mr. Gu has already fed Patrick Star. The next feeding will be at 10 p.m.
"Mr. Gu came by? When?"
"He just left a few minutes ago." The nurse, who also loved gossip, was cleaning the pee pads of another hospitalized cat when she asked Li Xi curiously, "Ms. Li, are you Mr. Gu's girlfriend?"
