15: Seeking help

"Oh, Li Qingqing, you're so disgusting!"

"How did you wet your pants?"

"It stinks."

Su Mianmian's words really provoked Li Qingqing.

She already knew she had wet herself from being scared by that smelly thing. She originally thought no one would expose her, but she didn't expect... How could Su Mianmian be so annoying?

"Su Mianmian, you just wait for me!"

"The face I've lost here today, you will definitely lose double in front of me later."

"Do you think you'll always have the Shi Family's protection?"

"How naive!"

Li Qingqing scrambled up, pointing a finger at Su Mianmian, her face full of malice.

Her words, both spoken and implied, were all curses directed at Su Mianmian.

Su Mianmian didn't care what Li Qingqing was saying; in her heart, Li Qingqing was nothing more than a clown.

What she truly cared about was the person Li Qingqing would encounter after the apocalypse.

That man was Shi Xu's formidable rival.

Su Mianmian's thoughts returned, and she saw Li Qingqing still looking at her with resentment.

She sneered and said something that completely broke Li Qingqing.

"As long as I don't divorce Shi Xu, I am a member of the Shi Family."

Su Mianmian raised an eyebrow at Li Qingqing, her lips slightly parted, "And you will never get what you want."

Li Qingqing subconsciously took a step back, her raised hand trembling slightly, her heart filled with panic.

How could Su Mianmian know her little secret thoughts?

She had never shown them before, had she?

Li Qingqing felt it was not advisable to stay here long; she needed to hurry back.

"I don't know what you're talking about, I'm leaving now."

"I'm not satisfied with anything you've done today. If you want me to forgive you in the future, I won't forgive you so easily."

Li Qingqing said this with a guilty look, then turned and walked towards the door.

Su Mianmian saw her just leave, and she felt she could twist the knife a little more.

"Li Qingqing, don't think I'll forget how much money you still owe me. The IOU is in my hands, black and white. There's no way you can default on it."

"I'm giving you three days. If you don't pay the money back, you'll receive a summons."

"By then, the image you've built up in the social circle won't be safe."

Su Mianmian's words were like a curse, and Li Qingqing felt like her heart was about to explode with anger.

She clenched her fists tightly; if not for a shred of rationality, she would have turned around and slapped Su Mianmian several times.

Li Qingqing didn't reply, limping out.

As she walked, the urine on her skirt would occasionally drip down.

At a glance, the floor was covered in urine stains.

Su Mianmian frowned; she felt the floor was very dirty.

"Madam, I'll have someone clean it immediately."

"I guarantee there won't be a single stain."

Butler Li, standing nearby, seemed to understand Su Mianmian's annoyance, and he stated with certainty.

Su Mianmian nodded; for now, this was the only solution.

"Have that Huang Rong leave."

"She was bribed by Li Qingqing."

Su Mianmian thought of this matter and casually instructed.

Butler Li hadn't expected that under his management, a "traitor" would appear.

His face instantly darkened.

"Madam, I understand."

"I'll go deal with it immediately."

Butler Li said respectfully.

Su Mianmian nodded and turned to go upstairs.

As she went up, Xiao Qi was lying by the study door.

When the person and the wolf looked at each other, Su Mianmian actually saw a hint of a wronged expression in its eyes.

She lowered her head and smiled.

This wolf was quite protective of its master. The book said that in order to protect Shi Xu, it was eventually bitten to death by zombies.

Su Mianmian didn't want such a tragedy to happen; she wanted Shi Xu to train it well.

If it was well-trained, it might even awaken an ability in the apocalypse.

Shi Xu opened the door and saw Su Mianmian looking at Xiao Qi; his expression softened a little.

"Mianmian, is it resolved?"

"Do you need my help?"

Shi Xu said gently.

He had originally thought Su Mianmian wouldn't be back so soon, but he was a little surprised and a little pleased to see her as soon as he came out.

Unfortunately, this little bit of pleasant surprise wasn't given much thought by him.

"It's mostly resolved, but I want to ask you for a favor." Su Mianmian had been waiting for Shi Xu to say this.

To be honest, she could resolve the matter of Li Qingqing owing the Original Body's Owner money by herself, but wouldn't it be better if someone helped to resolve it faster?

The apocalypse was getting closer, and she had many things to do.

She didn't want to waste time on a deadbeat.

"Oh, what is it?"

"Of course I'll help you."

"Mianmian, we are husband and wife; husband and wife naturally help each other."

Shi Xu rarely saw Su Mianmian ask him for help; he was stunned for a moment when he heard it.

He had just said it tentatively, not expecting Su Mianmian to actually open up.

Shi Xu felt it was a little gratifying.

"Your company's legal team must be very impressive, right!"

"Li Qingqing owes me money. I have all the IOUs and such. I wonder if I can get it back quickly."

"I don't want to leave the money to her."

Su Mianmian said, looking displeased.

She would never leave the money to Li Qingqing.

Li Qingqing later wanted to use the Original Body's Owner's money to collect supplies, and she would not agree to that.

"Of course, this matter is very easy to resolve. Just leave it to me."

"When someone from the company comes to find you, just give him the IOU."

"By the way, did it do something bad just now?"

Shi Xu looked at Xiao Qi's fawning expression; he had a hunch that it had definitely done something bad again.

Su Mianmian followed Shi Xu's gaze to Xiao Qi, and she smiled, "Shi Xu, you know, Xiao Qi really bullied Li Qingqing badly just now. It was especially fun."

Shi Xu heard that the one Xiao Qi bullied was Li Qingqing, and he nodded with certainty, "It's fine as long as the person bullied is Li Qingqing."

Xiao Qi seemed to understand what Shi Xu said; after Shi Xu finished speaking, its expression immediately became proud.

Su Mianmian looked at Xiao Qi's rapidly changing expression and couldn't help but say, "Shi Xu, don't you think Xiao Qi is very intelligent?"

Shi Xu was stunned, and he said with a puzzled look, "Mianmian, it's always been quite smart!"

Su Mianmian: "..."

Shi Xu was really too straightforward!

Su Mianmian opened her mouth, truly not knowing what to say.

Shi Xu seemed to realize that his words were a bit too direct. He pondered for a moment and asked, "Mianmian, do you have some idea?"

Su Mianmian took the hint Shi Xu gave her and went along with it.

She gave Shi Xu a mysterious look, beckoned with her hand, and motioned for him to take Xiao Qi into the room.

When Shi Xu took Xiao Qi and followed her into the room, he saw Su Mianmian pour out the water in the cup and replace it with water she had taken from her space.
