After arriving at the restaurant, Liu Lu actually didn't know what to do for a moment; she hadn't expected Ning Qing to bring her to such a high-end restaurant.
Fortunately, Ning Qing knew about these things, so she had arranged everything perfectly.
"Today is the first time I've met Xiao Hui and Xiao Xin, so feel free to order whatever you like; it's my treat," Ning Qing said with a smile.
Liu Lu hurriedly said, "How can I let you pay? I'll do it, I'll do it."
"Sister Lu, why are you being so formal with me? It's not a big deal. Alright, let me treat you all to a meal today. When the next time comes, you can treat me, can't you?" Ning Qing said.
Hearing her say this, Liu Lu didn't say anything more.
Liu Hui and Wu Xin, however, weren't paying attention to that; it was actually the first time both of them had been to such a high-end restaurant, and for a moment, they didn't know how to order.
Ning Qing was a very tactful person; she saw their awkwardness at a glance, immediately had the waiter start introducing the dishes, and then, observing the expressions of Liu Hui and Wu Xin, helped them finish ordering.
Both Ning Qing and Liu Lu had already eaten lunch, so they just ordered a vegetable salad and watched Liu Hui and Wu Xin eat.
At first, Liu Hui and Wu Xin were a bit reserved, but when the food arrived, the tempting aroma immediately stirred their stomachs, which had long been starving.
After a bout of wolfing down their food, Liu Hui and Wu Xin finally smiled a bit awkwardly.
Watching Liu Hui in this state, Liu Lu immediately felt a pang of heartache and said, "Xiao Hui, how long has it been since you've eaten? Why are you so hungry?"
Before Liu Hui could speak, Wu Xin on the side said aggrievedly, "Xiao Hui and I haven't eaten for a whole day."
"Hmm? What's going on? Why didn't you contact me sooner? What? Do you look down on your sister?" Hearing this, Liu Lu felt both angry and heartbroken.
Liu Hui hurriedly said, "No, Sister, it's just that I was too embarrassed to contact you."
"What exactly happened? Did Uncle not even give you money for food?" Liu Lu asked.
"It's not that, it's like this..." Liu Hui explained how they had been scammed, her tone full of grievance.
She hadn't expected to be swindled so miserably, and when she went to settle the score with those people, they were all fierce and menacing, which had scared the two of them quite a bit.
After listening, Liu Lu felt even more heartbroken, "Next time you encounter something like this, tell the family sooner. No matter what, you can't go hungry."
Although she was also very angry, faced with such a situation, Liu Lu felt she had no way to deal with it.
But Ning Qing on the side didn't think so. After hearing what Liu Hui and Wu Xin said, Ning Qing immediately said angrily, "They dare to scam my little sister? Do these people not want to live anymore? Xiao Hui, tell me the address, I'll go vent your anger for you."
Upon hearing this, Liu Hui's eyes lit up, but then they dimmed again, "Thank you, Sister Qing, but there's no need. That group of people is very fierce; if we hadn't run fast at the time, we would have almost been beaten."
Ning Qing waved her hand and said domineeringly, "No matter how fierce they are, on this patch of land in Shanghai, no one can bully my little sister and get away with it."
Liu Hui and Wu Xin both stared blankly at Ning Qing, especially Wu Xin, whose eyes were almost sparkling.
Actually, despite how domineering Ning Qing sounded, she knew very well in her heart that a company capable of using such underhanded methods definitely wouldn't have any major backing, and with her capabilities, she could completely crush them.
Liu Lu also wanted to vent her sister's anger, but she still asked in a low voice, "Xiao Qing, is this really okay?"
"Sister Lu, don't worry, it's just a small matter, leave it to me," Ning Qing said confidently.
In the car, Ning Qing clarified the address and then made a few phone calls. Once they arrived at the location, Ning Qing led the people straight inside.
"Sister Qing, this is it," Liu Hui said, pointing to the company, which looked quite decent from the storefront.
"Let's go."
The four of them walked in and found that it actually looked quite professional inside, truly like a decent company.
At first, the people there didn't see Liu Hui and her companion and were smiling, ready to greet them, but very quickly, they saw Liu Hui.
"What? Are you here to cause trouble? Tsk tsk tsk, you all look quite pretty, why are you so unreasonable?" someone said with a smile.
Liu Hui and the others had come to make a scene before, and now that they had brought two more people, it was clearly still to cause trouble.
"So you are the ones who scammed my little sister?" Ning Qing looked at these people and said coldly.
Hearing Ning Qing's words, one of the young men laughed, "This beauty, you can eat whatever you want, but you can't just say whatever you want. What do you mean by 'scammed'? This is normal business behavior; we didn't force them."
Ning Qing was well aware of these people's shameless faces, so she didn't say anything more upon hearing this and just stood at the entrance.
"What? You still want to block the door? I'm telling you, it's not too late to leave now. Don't end up with a disfigured face; that would be a pity for such a pretty face," one person said lecherously.
The others burst into loud laughter upon hearing this. They had seen this kind of situation countless times and had long since had experience in dealing with it.
However, they couldn't laugh for long, because groups of people arrived here one after another. Seeing these people, the people inside the company felt their hearts tremble.
These people included police, officials from the Bureau of Industry and Commerce, the Fire Department...
In any case, almost every department that could regulate a company had someone show up.
Moreover, they saw some of these people talking to Ning Qing. It looked like they were just inquiring about the situation, but in reality, they all understood that they were finished this time.
Their activities were already walking on the edge of the law; if someone wanted to find trouble with them, it was actually very simple, it was just that for many people, the effort and the reward were not proportional.
The subsequent events were much simpler. Liu Hui saw the people who had been fierce and menacing toward them yesterday now begging them to let them off the hook.
However, Liu Hui didn't agree, or rather, now that things had reached this point, it wasn't up to her to decide, because this was Ning Qing's help, and how the matter would be resolved specifically depended on Ning Qing's opinion.
Ning Qing looked at Liu Hui and said, "Little sister, tell me what you want to do."
"Everything is up to Sister Qing," Liu Hui said.
"Alright then, these people probably didn't just scam the two of you. Instead of leaving them be, it's better to wipe them all out at once. Don't worry, your money won't be lost either."
Watching this group of people looking as if their parents had died upon hearing Ning Qing's words, Liu Hui's eyes shone as she looked at Ning Qing, while at the same time, she carefully sized up her cousin.
She hadn't expected her cousin to know someone so capable, and that their relationship was so good.
Just thinking about it, she knew that Ning Qing was willing to do this not for her and Wu Xin, but because of her relationship with Liu Lu.
If it were just an ordinary relationship, could Ning Qing have gone to such great lengths to help them?
Furthermore, Liu Hui also sensed that her cousin was already different from before. She couldn't say exactly how, but she just felt a huge change.
At six o'clock, the sky had already darkened. Liu Hui and the others had just come out of the police station; they also needed to give their statements.
According to what the police said just now, the money they were swindled out of couldn't be returned to them immediately, but they wouldn't have to wait too long; once things here were settled, it would be returned to them.
"Thank you, Sister Qing," Liu Hui and Wu Xin hurriedly thanked her.
"Don't thank me, if you want to thank someone, thank your Sister Lu," Ning Qing said with a smile.
Liu Lu hurriedly said, "Alright, stop with the thanking back and forth. By the way, Xiao Hui, do you have any money on you? I'll give you some so you can find a hotel to stay in tonight. You should also think carefully about whether you want to stay in Shanghai to find a job. If you don't plan on staying in Shanghai, then go home."
"What hotel? I have a card here, just stay here," Ning Qing said, taking out a room card.
Seeing that Liu Lu wanted to refuse, Ning Qing said, "Sister Lu, don't decline. This is a room I've rented long-term; the money is already paid anyway, so it would be a waste not to stay."
"Alright then." Hearing her say this, Liu Lu didn't say anything more.
However, she felt a bit uneasy in her heart; Ning Qing had truly helped her too much today, and she herself didn't seem to have anything she could do to help Ning Qing.
Liu Lu was just that kind of person; if others helped her and she didn't return the favor, she would always feel she owed them, and she would keep dwelling on the matter in her heart.
"Should I consider the matter of investing?" Liu Lu thought to herself secretly.
But she didn't dare to act on her own initiative; although Zhang Ran had said at the time that all this money was to be handled by her, Liu Lu still felt somewhat unable to let go.
Therefore, she prepared to ask for her father-in-law's opinion that evening.
