Urban Life: I Just Want To Work Hard!

Chapter 149: Your wife is in trouble!!!

After leaving the Zhou family's courtyard, Li Mubai did not intend to immediately return to Jinshui Shallow Bay. Instead, he planned to continue going to the Life Bar. After all, there was still Miss Tong Lin there, whom he could earn rewards from. If he went back so early, he would be alone... the long night would be so boring. Isn't it better to have a few drinks with a beautiful woman and experience the atmosphere of the bar?

"Master, to the Life Bar," Li Mubai shouted towards the female driver after getting into the back seat of the taxi, leaning against the car window.

Little did he know that his student and disciple, Zhou Ziqing, had already taken his lifelong matter to heart and even put it into practice. As soon as Zhang Chuyun left, Zhou Ziqing took out her phone and made a call.

The phone rang for nearly thirty seconds.

No one answered.

She dialed again, but still no one answered. Zhou Ziqing opened her door and looked out, not seeing her mother returning. She immediately slipped out of the door. She was not the kind of person who only talked without taking action. She genuinely cared about Li Mubai. At least those people like Yun Wuyue and Lin Jiayin were not worthy of her master. They were not qualified to do such things. As for her cousin, although she was careless, Zhou Ziqing didn't want Li Mubai to marry her cousin. The family was indeed wealthy, but it was too troublesome and lacked freedom. She felt like she was going crazy living in this courtyard. If Li Mubai ended up the same way, wouldn't his future be bleak?

With these thoughts in mind, Zhou Ziqing walked straight towards the route she usually took to school. At this time, the person she arranged for Li Mubai should still be working. It would take about twenty minutes.

Zhou Ziqing stood at the entrance of her high school, opposite a courier station. During the day, the courier station was busy delivering packages, and at night, there were often delivery trucks coming in. Therefore, they frequently hired part-time workers.

The person Zhou Ziqing wanted to find for Li Mubai worked here.

At this moment, the delivery truck hadn't arrived yet. Zhou Ziqing had clearly been here before. As soon as she entered, she called out, "Xiaoxue!"

Normally, there would be two people on duty at the courier station, but today Zhou Ziqing didn't see anyone at the entrance.

After waiting for a few seconds and seeing no one coming out, Zhou Ziqing walked straight towards the warehouse inside the courier station.

Inside the courier station's warehouse, there was a small employee rest area. Zhou Ziqing knew its location, so she went straight there and pushed open the door.

If Li Mubai were here, he would definitely be attracted by the beautiful figure in front of him. She was a girl of about seventeen or eighteen years old, wearing a simple work uniform that did not hide her slender figure at all. Especially her face. Although she was wearing a mask, her dreamy large eyes were tightly closed, and her eyelashes were unbelievably beautiful. Her simple ponytail was tied behind her head, making her look extremely pitiful.

The girl was obviously exhausted and was currently sitting on a small stool, leaning against the wall, fast asleep.

Zhou Ziqing glanced at the warehouse and frowned before walking over and pushing the girl's shoulder.

"Hey! Xiaoxue!"

The girl named Xiaoxue drowsily opened her eyes. Even Zhou Ziqing was momentarily stunned by her gem-like pure eyes. Despite being used to Li Mubai's handsome face, Zhou Ziqing couldn't help but be moved.

"No wonder those guys are giving you a hard time. If I were a man, I would marry you too!"

Xiaoxue finally reacted and stared at Zhou Ziqing in a daze. "Ziqing... why are you here?"

As she spoke, Zhou Ziqing stood up and shook her head.

But obviously squatting for a long time, her legs went numb, and she stumbled.

Zhou Ziqing hurriedly supported her and sighed softly.

"Today... the teacher asked about you again, why didn't you come to school?"

Zhou Ziqing pondered for a moment, slightly lowered her head and bit her lip: "I'm a girl, I need to earn money!"

If you're not in someone else's position, naturally you can't understand their hardships.

Zhou Ziqing understood this principle clearly.

"So I came!" Zhou Ziqing smiled. "Pei Xue, let me introduce you to a boyfriend, so you don't have to work so hard!"

Pei Xue took off her mask, didn't say much, and started tidying up the things at her feet.

Under the mask was an extremely beautiful and charming face with an extraordinary temperament.

Not having to work hard, this was not the first time Pei Xue had heard this.

She had been working at this express station for a while, and several middle-aged men who drove Maseratis had hinted at this meaning, both openly and secretly.

She understood Zhou Ziqing's small world better. She and Zhou Ziqing were never on the same path.

Although Zhou Ziqing had helped her a few times, she kept this favor in her heart.

She didn't blame or resent anyone.

After all, some gaps are inherent from birth, and even a lifetime of effort cannot make up for them.

There is a saying, how does it go?

Some things, you can't have them in ten lifetimes.

That's how she was.

She understood the thoughts of those middle-aged men. They had money and didn't lack various women. Seeing her was just a way to change things up.

In this era, money is the only truth.

Zhou Ziqing could guess to some extent what Pei Xue was thinking, so she straightforwardly said, "He's not the kind of person you're thinking of. He's my tutor, also my master. He's so handsome that it's unbelievable, almost as good-looking as you..."

He's good at games, has a world-class level in piano, and is exceptional in studying. He doesn't hesitate to fight either. The reason I thought of you is because I don't want my master to be heartbroken. To be honest, I think my master is suitable for you, a woman who takes care of the family!"

Upon hearing this, Pei Xue turned her head curiously and glanced at Zhou Ziqing.

It seemed like she was saying that someone so good, you don't plan to keep for yourself?

"My master doesn't like women who are too shrewd, at least not too involved... and... otherwise..." Zhou Ziqing lowered her head in frustration, not daring to mention that she wanted to compete with her cousin for a man. She took a deep breath and didn't lose heart. "He lives in Jinshui Shallow Bay, you know that place, right? The starting price for a house there is several hundred million. He's only a few years older than us, and he's a college student."

Pei Xue continued to busy herself, shaking her ponytail.

"I can still hold on."

"But... your family situation..."

Before finishing her sentence, Zhou Ziqing stopped as she watched Pei Xue's retreating figure.

"You should go back."

Although her tone was still relatively gentle, there was a hint of coldness.

Zhou Ziqing bit her lip unwillingly. She also felt that she had been impulsive. At the very least, she should have brought Li Mubai with her.

"That school..."

"I won't go back to school anymore, thank you." Pei Xue didn't lift her head.

Just then, there was a commotion outside.

Pei Xue sniffed and hurriedly walked outside.

Zhou Ziqing quickly followed, but in the next second, her eyes widened.

There were at least twenty people, both men and women, and the women were all dressed like little princesses.

Her eyes flickered.

Zhou Ziqing quickly took out her phone and called Li Mubai.

The call was immediately cut off.

But fortunately, she was able to send a text message quickly: "Master!! Come quickly!! If you don't come, your wife will be in trouble!!!"
