Sammy Jones was slightly stunned, and couldn’t tell what was going on in his heart, only lowered his head and broke his hand, to struggle away.
“Don’t move, my hand is hurt!” The more she struggled, the less he let go.
She did, and paused for a moment. But, the next moment, she didn’t care, and struggled with all her strength, “What’s it to me if you’re hurt? Tell your Lanlan to come back. If you like her so much, why are you driving her away?”
Joey Xu let go of her hand and looked critically at her as she backed away with a stern face, then suddenly smiled, “Why do I feel like that’s wrong the more I hear it?”
Before Sammy Jones could ask, Joey Xu suddenly popped out with a shocking statement, “Sammy Jones, you’re not jealous, are you?”
Jealous?
Sammy Jones was stunned for a moment, his heart missed a beat, but in the next second he snorted out a laugh, ” Mr. Xu, narcissism is a disease that needs to be cured!”
Isn’t that narcissistic? How could she be jealous of him?
Not to mention how long they’ve known each other, counting the number of times they’ve met this is only the 4th time. So what could she be jealous of?
She was indeed angry with herself, but no woman would like to be trampled on after being compared to another woman, right? Yes, that’s what she was angry about!
“The card, I’ve delivered it to you. I’m off, goodbye! No, never again!” Sammy Jones turned around and left without hesitation. That last ‘never see you again’ was so decisive and dry that it in turn made Joey Xu feel unhappy, unhappy to the extreme!
There really wasn’t a woman who was as fearful of getting involved with him again as she was!
“You stand still!” He opened his mouth to drink her in, “I want to talk to you, get in here!”
Sammy Jones didn’t look back, “I don’t think we have anything to say! There’s nothing to talk about!”
“Half a sentence will be said!” Joey Xu wrapped his chest around his chest and looked slightly cold, looking at her from above, “Sammy Jones, a word of advice, you’d better not mess with me again! I can give you your money and your lawyer’s license back, and I can get it back!”
“…” Why is this guy so annoying ahhhhhhhhh! Also jealous it? Eat his big head vinegar! She now really regretted that she actually ran here in the middle of the night like a brainwashed person, and ended up being angry enough to be threatened by him.
Satisfied that she had stopped, Joey Xu quirked his lips and turned moodily into the bedroom. To deal with Sammy Jones, the law didn’t even need to be thought of, her weakness was exposed really directly.
Sammy Jones gritted his teeth and walked in, his mind still wondering how he was going to get back later. I don’t know if it’s even possible to get a cab here this late at night.
Coldly, he went in and was going to ask him what he was doing, but, before the words left his mouth, he was dumbfounded.
Only to see that Joey Xu had already taken off his shirt and was sitting on the sofa with his bare upper body, and beside his legs was a medicine box. This man s body is extremely good, the lines are perfect, there is not a trace of fat on the whole body, even … even the mermaid line is so standard, sexy enough to make people drool.
But. At the moment Sammy Jones’ attention isn’t even here, it’s on his arm.
A bowl-sized cut on his arm, burned and bloody, looked shocking. That must have been from the acid!
“What? Is my body so coveted by you?” He asked as he drugged himself, the medicine so strong that it hurt and he grunted, his brow furrowing.
“You’re still in the mood for jokes.” Sammy Jones got a serious look on his face and sat down next to him, “Why don’t you take care of that injury at the hospital too? Give me that.”
Completely having forgotten that she had just been angry with him, she reached down and took the medicine into her hand, glancing at him, “I’ll try to be gentle, and if you’re in pain, bear it.”
“Uh-huh.” He hummed out.
Sammy Jones took a cotton swab and carefully applied the medicine, he wasn’t grunting anymore, just cold sweat oozing from his brow. She looked up at him, her heart in her mouth, “Aren’t you in the hospital? How come you didn’t even bandage your wounds? There can’t be any other injuries, right?”
“Didn’t have time to bandage it, and besides, it’s just a minor injury, I can take care of it myself.” He downplayed it. What kind of injuries hadn’t you suffered when you were on the road? This is really nothing.
Sammy Jones sighed. I’m afraid he really didn’t have time for himself. With so many people injured under his hands and dealing with the press, the doctors were off duty at the moment.
“Don’t touch water on your wound for the next few days, and go to the hospital for an anti-inflammatory injection tomorrow when you’re free, or you’ll suffer if it worsens.” Sammy Jones urged, while taking gauze to wrap his wound.
“You kinda have a nurse’s frame.” Joey Xu looked down at her. She was moving skillfully, her head hung low, and she looked focused. Under the light, he could only see her loose hair and slightly drooping eyelashes, gently fluttering like butterfly wings.
Slender and fragile.
Joey Xu subconsciously reached out to lift the hair covering her small face, but his hand abruptly stopped in the air. He looked at his hand in disbelief, and then at her. So, he was possessed?
“Okay, take care of yourself.” Sammy Jones, completely unaware of what he was thinking at the moment, tied the gauze in a knot and sharply drew small scissors to cut it, then it was a done deal.
Joey Xu coughed dryly, retracting the somewhat fluttery look he’d just given himself, dropping his eyes to look down at her bandages and raising an eyebrow, “So you’ve changed careers to become a nurse?”
She’s definitely a professional at this level of bandaging.
“Didn’t you get all my information, how come you didn’t find out that my mom used to be a doctor?”
“Well, it looks like I didn’t look into it enough, I’ll have to look into your ancestry as well.”
Sammy Jones rolls his eyes, remembers something, and straightens up, “Joey Xu, let me ask you something.”
“Uh-huh.” He took a pillow and stuffed it behind himself, leaning back comfortably on the couch, his eyes lazy as he watched her.
“Is the matter of Xu Guohua s dismount … really your doing?”
“That’s exactly what I want to talk to you about.” Joey Xu didn’t answer, but instead spoke, “You’d better be living somewhere else these days.”
“Why?” Sammy Jones couldn’t understand.
Joey Xu looked serious, “That day at the Japanese restaurant, you and Xu Guohua were photographed in a few pictures and sent to his wife. Their family is now a pack of mad dogs, the grass is greener on the ground, and Xu Guohua’s accident happened the day after you got together, so it’s highly likely that they’ll point the finger at you as well. Before the police catch them, it’s best if you don’t show up and be a living target for them.”
Sammy Jones was really shocked by his words and just felt a chill run down her spine. She was not willing to have acid thrown on her! If she was disfigured, her life would be over.
“The picture of Xu Guohua and I, who took it? We were the only two in the box at the time.” Sammy Jones couldn’t figure it out.
“Who said it was just the two of you? When the compartment door opened, me, Lan Lan, and the entire restaurant saw it. You walked out with Xu Guohua chasing after you, and just this kind of photo says it all.”
Sammy Jones gave Joey Xu a look, “I have nothing against everyone, why would they need to take a picture like that and send it in to stir up his family’s hatred?”
She paused for a moment, something flashing through her mind, and suddenly said, “Unless it’s …”
Joey Xu’s face flinched, glaring at her tightly, his tone serious, “Sammy Jones, you’re a lawyer, you’d better have a sense of propriety in what you say before you get the evidence!”
Sammy Jones was stunned for a moment, that look in his eyes was unnerving, as if her words had touched his bottom line. The three words ‘Zhao Lanlan’ stuck in his throat, hard not to say. sammy Jones slightly lowering his eyes, his voice slightly lower, “instinct, don’t you mind.”
Hearing her say that, Joey Xu’s face eased a bit. Sammy Jones ruffled the hair on the side of his cheeks, “Originally, I just wanted to ask you when I came over tonight if you did what happened to Xu Guohua and …”
‘Is it because of me’ were words that Sammy Jones suddenly couldn’t ask. What kind of relationship did they have? Wasn’t it funny that he had to pull someone down because of her? Why did she need to say such self-serving things and make a fool of herself?
“Forget it, it’s none of my business if you did it or not.”
Joey Xu frowned, “So?”
Sammy Jones stood up, “I have to go, I’m relieved you said what you said, thanks.”
Without saying anything else, she turned around and walked out. Looking at that back, Joey Xu frowned and didn’t stay her anymore.
Sammy Jones is afraid to go back to that home, temporarily called Le Mei’s phone to borrow a night. Luckily, she is single like himself, and there is nothing inconvenient about staying at her place.
“Hey, I’m talking about you, it’s not easy to get your lawyer’s license back recently haven’t you been like a chicken blood every day? Why are you so sluggish today?”
“… Well, I don’t know why.” Sammy Jones hunkers down on the couch and breathlessly returns her. Baffled himself. The memory of Joey Xu’s biting glare went back and forth in her head. She was just instinctively suspicious, and Joey Xu looked like she couldn’t eat herself. If she liked it so much, why did she have to say those over-the-top words every time to piss Zhao Lanlan off? What a hypocrisy!
“Hey! Talking to you, come back to your senses!” Le Mei bumped her with her shoulder.
She then snapped back to her senses, “Huh? What?”
“Look at you, you look like this, you’ve been asked three words and you’ve been fuming for two of them. What are you thinking about? Is it hard to get a boyfriend?”
“No!” Sammy Jones vetoed almost instinctively, “Being single is fine, what’s the point of having a boyfriend? Besides, there aren’t many good men out there right now.”
Especially annoying ones like Joey Xu. It doesn’t move or threaten her!
But why does one always think of him?
It’s hard not to …
Sammy Jones jumped at the thought that was about to pop into his head. With a wince, his mind immediately shook his head, waving the figure away. Can’t think about it anymore! Think about anyone but that asshole!
“Wrong is right, but we can’t keep being single like this and turn back into a golden saint, right? Look at you, your sister is married and you still don’t even have a boyfriend.” Le Mei was also agonized when she talked about the matter of boyfriends. The country is advocating late marriage, but nowadays, the word ‘late marriage’ envelops these older leftover women, just like the Tang Monk’s tightrope curse. Classmates ask, colleagues ask, family members ask, even outside the vegetable market cabbage sellers ask.
“Leftovers are leftovers …” Sammy Jones hugged his pillow in frustration.
Compared to her, Le Mei’s attitude was much more positive, “Eh, I’m going to the sorority in a few days, let’s go together!”
“No.” Sammy Jones immediately refused, “That sorority is like selling groceries, and when you sit there, it’s either money or a house or a car or a job. Doesn’t it bother you?”
“That can’t be helped, that’s the reality of the situation right now.” After a hundred battles of nerves, Le Mei had long been accustomed to it, “I don’t care, if you want to stay with me for a few days, you have to accompany me. If you don’t accompany me, I’ll lock the door tomorrow and shut you out!”
“You’re too heartless, aren’t you? I’m about to get acid thrown on me! Do you really have the heart to see me die?”
“Che, I’m all for taking in you at the risk of being dragged down by you, anyway, you’ll see for yourself, if you don’t go, you’ll hurry up and leave tomorrow.” Le Mei was cross-hearted.
Sammy Jones had no choice. Of course he had to live. It’s just a sorority, isn’t it? It’s not like she can’t handle it.
