Chapter 1731

The girl sat for a while, feeling too uncomfortable, and got up to walk out.

She stood at the entrance of the guesthouse and thought, he might not be back for a while.

She hadn't been shopping for a long time either, so she would go out for a stroll and come back later.

But just as she left, Zhou Andong returned.

Sister Ting sat in the chair with her legs crossed, her sitting posture looking very lazy.

She held a newspaper in her hand but kept her attention on the entrance.

When she saw Zhou Andong enter the door, a smile appeared on her face.

She put the newspaper aside, picked up the bag next to her, and got up to greet him.

"Should I address you as Mr. Zhao, or Chairman Zhou?"

Zhou Andong laughed heartily and shook hands with Sister Ting: "However Sister Ting likes to address me, that's how you should address me."

"My name is Liao Ting; you can just call me by my name." Liao Ting said with a smile: "Having the famous Chairman Zhou call me Sister Ting makes me feel very uneasy."

"If you put it that way." Zhou Andong's expression became serious: "Then I really will call you Sister Ting."

Liao Ting was stunned, then immediately giggled, her chest trembling up and down as if a super earthquake had occurred.

"Chairman Zhou, I didn't expect you to be so humorous."

Zhou Andong's gaze shifted downward, glancing at Liao Ting's chest; after his throat rolled, he hurriedly shifted his gaze away.

"Let's go, let's go to the room and talk."

Several people took the elevator to the fifth floor; after entering the room, Huang Yali poured water for Zhou Andong and Liao Ting, then retreated.

Wang Wentian and Yu Zhan and the others were guarding outside, and Huang Yali asked in a low voice.

"Who is this woman? I've never seen her before; she's so beautiful."

Wang Wentian didn't answer her but asked: "Is she as beautiful as the Boss's wife?"

Huang Yali pondered for a moment: "That's hard to say; both are very beautiful, but their temperaments are different. The Boss's wife has such a powerful aura that I don't even dare to speak loudly when I see her.

And this woman also has a lot of temperament, but compared to the Boss's wife, she's far behind. Yet every move she makes carries a charm that even I, a woman, can't help but swallow my saliva when I see."

Wang Wentian didn't continue this topic: "I'm a bit thirsty; go to the lobby and get me two bottles of water."

Huang Yali rolled her eyes: "Go get them yourself."

Wang Wentian opened his mouth, then looked at Yu Zhan: "Yu Zhan, you go get them."

Yu Zhan muttered something dissatisfied, but still turned and left.

Inside the room, Zhou Andong sat on the sofa, and Liao Ting sat opposite him.

Her snow-white, tight thighs were crossed, which was too eye-catching.

Especially for Zhou Andong, who hadn't exercised for a long time, he felt himself becoming aroused again.

He could only force himself to shift his gaze away and distract his attention.

"Sister Ting, have you already made up your mind?"

"Water flows to low places, and people climb to high places." Liao Ting hesitated for a moment: "But before that, let me tell you a story."

"I love listening to stories." Zhou Andong said with a smile, then took out a cigarette and gestured.

Liao Ting nodded: "It doesn't matter."

Zhou Andong used his lighter to light the cigarette: "Go ahead."

After Liao Ting was silent for a good while, she finally opened her mouth to speak.

"There was a little girl born in Shanghai, and her parents were both intellectuals. Since she was small, she was clever and well-liked by little boys. Because she had a good family education and living conditions, from elementary school to university, everything went smoothly for her.

In university, she never lacked pursuers, but because she was beautiful and talented, she was very proud and arrogant, and she always looked down on those pursuers.

Until her senior year, when she got sick and was hospitalized, she met a doctor. This doctor was nine years older than her, but very talented, and at a young age, he was very famous in the medical field.

In just half a month, the girl fell in love with this doctor; she disregarded a girl's reserve and began to pursue her love without any scruples.

By the time she graduated, the love she pursued finally bore fruit; at that time, she was happy and joyful, and full of hope for the future.

Half a year later, the girl and the man she loved deeply walked into the halls of marriage. She thought that marrying a husband who loved her and whom she loved would surely lead to a lifetime of happiness.

Indeed, after marriage, the girl was very happy, but such happy days only lasted for two months, all because she chatted a bit too much with a boy next door.

The man she loved deeply questioned her, asking if she had an affair with that boy; the girl felt he was being unreasonable, but because of the love in her heart, she didn't think too much about it.

Just like that, two days passed, and she thought the matter had passed. That night, she went out to take out the trash and bumped into that boy next door again, and then chatted for a few sentences.

The girl didn't know that the man she loved deeply was standing in front of the window, coldly watching her chat with the boy, and this was the beginning of her nightmare.

After arriving home, the man she loved deeply grabbed her hair, covered her mouth, dragged her into the room, beat her, and warned her with a suppressed roar that she was not allowed to speak to that boy again in the future.

That night, the girl was desperate; she felt she was about to be beaten to death. After not knowing how long, the man finally stopped his violence against her.

Just like that, the girl sat in the corner of the wall covered in injuries for the night. The next morning, the man suddenly knelt in front of her, crying bitterly and apologizing, begging the girl to forgive him.

The girl's already cold heart became soft again; after all, she still had love for this man, so she forgave him.

But in the days that followed, as long as the girl spoke a few extra words to a man, and the man found out, he would beat her, and even imprison her, not letting her go out..."

Zhou Andong listened silently, smoking his cigarette from time to time; he knew that this girl was Liao Ting.

And this story made him think of a very popular TV series from his previous life, "Don't Talk to Strangers."

"The girl's heart died, and she decided to call the police and end this marriage that filled her with fear. However, her calling the police was useless, because the man's eldest brother was the director of the Huangpu District Public Security Bureau, and his second brother was the secretary to the Vice Mayor.

And his father had once been a high-ranking official in Shanghai; although he had retired, his connections were still there, so the girl's calling the police not only didn't set her free, but instead brought her an even greater disaster.

That night after calling the police, she was again gagged by the man and beaten until she was covered in bruises, losing consciousness for a time, and finally falling into a complete coma.

When she woke up, it was already dawn outside, and her hands were tied to a chair. She knew that if she didn't escape from this home as soon as possible, she would definitely be beaten to death.

But her mouth was gagged, and she was tied to a chair; how could it be easy to escape."
