"Ke Jie said, 'You should hang your clothes out to dry later.'
'Tong Le replied, 'How much longer do you need to clean up? I told Lan Qingqing that I would invite her and her husband to dinner tonight. Her husband went to Zong Group today.'
At that moment, Ke Jie opened the frosted glass door of the bathroom. He had just taken a shower, and his expression was grim. The tank top he wore did not fully conceal the bruises from being kicked and beaten; Tong Le caught a glimpse of some marks but chose not to ask.
'I'm not feeling well today; let's reschedule,' Ke Jie said as he headed towards his bedroom. Tong Le watched his retreating figure, noticing the bruises on his back were even more severe. They didn’t look like the result of cupping at a bathhouse; the irregular bruises resembled those from a serious beating.
Feeling puzzled, Tong Le went straight to another bathroom where the washing machine was running. Next to it, the sink emitted a faint, unpleasant odor, reminiscent of a child wetting their pants. Just as she was wondering about it, her phone buzzed with several text messages, all with the same content: 'Remove me from your blacklist!'
Tong Le immediately recognized it was from Hou Yi. She initially had no intention of responding, but just then, Ke Jie’s voice came from the bedroom. 'By the way, I signed the contract for the collaboration with Yi Sheng Architecture. The price is based on market rates; you can follow up on it; I won’t be involved.'
Tong Le was surprised. It was unexpected for Ke Jie, who usually sought advantages for himself, to agree to collaborate with Yi Sheng Architecture at market average prices. She found the situation amusing and thought for a moment before unlocking her phone and removing Hou Yi from her blacklist.
'Tong Le sent a message: Did Ke Jie sign a contract with you?'
Soon after, Hou Yi sent a silent video in which Ke Jie was being beaten while wearing a hood; he even seemed to have wet his pants in fear. Before Tong Le could finish watching the video, Hou Yi retracted it.
Hou Yi texted: 'Your husband looks like a dog in front of me! How do you feel? After watching this video, do you want to kill me? You saved me with your own hands, and now you want to kill me?'
At that moment, Tong Le realized that while watching the video, her lips had curled into a smile so wide that it almost reached her ears! She was thrilled! This lunatic Hou Yi had done what she had always wanted! She felt like dancing with joy! But considering that Ke Jie was still at home, she needed to rein it in a bit.
Tong Le excitedly spun in circles before sending another message to Hou Yi: 'Can you send that video again? I want to save it and watch it repeatedly! This is practically a classic art film!'
Hou Yi replied: 'What? Trying to trick me into using the video to report you?'
'Tong Le said: 'I’m on your side now; why would I report anything? We don’t betray our own!'
Hou Yi responded: '??? What are you talking about? Aren't you angry? Shouldn’t you want to kill me right now? I made your company lose potential profits and almost killed your husband—do you think that person in the video is someone else? Look closely; it's your husband!'
Tong Le replied: 'I know! Didn’t you say we were collaborating at market prices for mutual benefit? I’m happy about that! You beat up Ke Jie; I’m even happier! Why didn’t you hit him more? He just took a shower and did laundry!'
At that moment, Hou Yi was sitting in his car downstairs at Tong Le's place, dumbfounded as he stared at his phone screen."
He thought he must have seen it wrong or misunderstood, but after looking at it twice, he realized there was no mistake!
Hou Yi quickly sent a message: "Are you out of your mind? Have you gone crazy?"
Tong Le replied with a cute laughing emoji, saying, "As a gift, I won't block you anymore! You're a bit of a lunatic, but you've got some skills!"
Hou Yi was on the verge of losing it. "Come downstairs right now! I'm waiting for you! Let's see if you're just putting on a show or if you're really crazy!"
