Chapter 499 - There Is Too Much Injustice in This World

Throwing another glance at him, Li Beinian finally calmed down.

She shut her eyes and said, “My cell phone, where have I left it.”

The man heaved a sigh of relief and said, “Hang on, I’ll look for it.”

However, the moment he turned, a figure suddenly appeared from around the corner.

A yellow chiffon blouse, the outline of a pair of lanky straight legs was visible beneath the long dress pants.

It was a woman. A tall woman with shoulder-length hair that made her look clean-cut and efficient.

Li Beinian recognized her immediately as the woman who had just helped her out of the toilet cubicle.

She was walking towards them with Li Beinian’s cell phone in her hand.

When she saw Li Beinian and Shi Yishen, she didn’t seem surprised. She simply looked at Li Beinian and asked, “Is this yours?”

“Yes.” Li Beinian restrained her emotions as she stepped towards the woman and said, “Thank you.”n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

“Don’t mention it,” the woman replied with a hearty smile. “You should go. It was such a big commotion, it alerted a few people. It’s not good for you to stay.”

Li Beinian was distressed and embarrassed at the same time.

The woman probably knew what had happened.

Perhaps she saw or heard something.

Li Beinian paused, then nodded and pursed her lips. “Thank you,” she said once more.

Shi Yishen gave the woman a nod as well and said, “Mis Liu, thank you for the warning.”

The woman did not speak further but looked at Li Beinian intently before walking away.

Li Beinian clutched her handbag tightly, digging her fingers in.

She stared at its alloy chain buckle, looking as though she was lost in her own thoughts.

As Shi Yishen observed her, he sighed inwardly.

He tugged at her lightly. Seeing that she did not respond, he quickly led her to the elevator.

As the elevator descended one floor at a time, Shi Yishen asked, “Where do you live? Let me send you home.”

Li Beinian raised her eyes to look at him, as though she had only just snapped out of her daze.

Throughout the whole time, she had not cried once.

Although her eyes were bloodshot, she did not shed a single tear.

However, Shi Yishen was caught off-guard by the redness in her eyes when she looked up. At once, he felt a sharp pain in his heart.

Her eyes were glistening, but she stepped to the side and said somewhat cautiously, “No, it’s alright. I’ll call a cab.”

Suddenly, Shi Yishen felt that there was just too much injustice in the world.

She was Mu Donglin’s ex-fianceé, only they would understand their own entanglements.

But he knew, too.

Because Mu Donglin was wealthy and powerful, she could not afford to offend him.

Because Mu Donglin was wealthy and powerful, she could only tolerate these things in silence.

Shi Yishen may not understand how some women would feel, being violated.

However, the Li Beinian he saw earlier in the evening was a cheerful, enthusiastic, bright, quick-witted, and compelling woman.

There was an inexplicable charm about her.

She was different from most other women.

Alas, now she seemed at a loss.

Although she had tried hard to not let it show, Shi Yishen could clearly sense it.

Her loss of control and sanity in the men’s restroom just then, honestly... did frighten the man.

Feeling somewhat frustrated by her obvious attempt to avoid and withdraw, he smiled and tried to look as genial as possible. He said, “I’ll send you home. You can take the backseat, and I’ll be your chauffeur, is that okay?”

He took a step back deliberately and continued, “I only have good intentions. Please don’t worry, I will keep my distance. I’ll leave once I’ve sent you home.”
