2.

The mugwort suddenly stopped in its tracks, and intuition told her that someone was fighting.

Furthermore, I advise you to discipline your younger sister properly. If she behaves like this again, it won't be as simple as a few hundred yuan to settle it. After speaking, Lv Aicao glanced at the girl hiding in the arms of a boy, only showing half of her face. The girl glared back at her in defiance.

You dare to say that I'm ugly!

Although they are all people living in the slums of this city, they also possess many things that money cannot buy, such as emotions and self-esteem.

So, let's still help him. A voice in the heart said softly. She looked at Liang Bo, whose expression had already loosened a bit, and finally decided to end this confrontation.

Liang Bo seems to have been completely unaffected by that wound, provocatively opening the girl's bag.

Thank you, I can do it. Le Chengyu sincerely expresses his gratitude. He wanted to say something more, but the person in front of him turned around and grabbed Liang Bo's ear without saying a word, pulling him out of the crowd. Liang Bo screamed in pain but dared not resist.

It's like a melodramatic TV series, isn't it? The female lead is always saved by the male lead in times of crisis. However, Lü Aicao never thought that she had met this male lead earlier today.

On the sidelines, Lv Aicao couldn't help but roll her eyes coldly in her heart. This girl's IQ is really low. Just now, Liang Bo only put three hundred yuan in his pocket. This amount of money is not even enough for three days of intravenous drip.

Who dared to molest you! I already said it was an accident that I bumped into you! Take a look at yourself in the mirror. With your appearance, even if I were lacking a woman, I wouldn't dare to molest you!

At 6:30 PM, 31 Shuaiwei Lane, Xuncai Bar.

This job was introduced to her by her good friend Liang Bo, whom she has known since childhood. Although Liang Bo is a bit of a troublemaker, he also knows some small business owners. At that time, the bar was short of staff, and Liang Bo managed to get her, who had just turned eighteen, in with just two cigarettes.

Lv Ai was attracted by the somewhat familiar voice, stopped his steps, turned around and saw that the tall boy had already pulled the girl behind him into his arms. Under the dim light of the bar, his handsome facial features were carved like a knife, with a unique charm, and his slender and tall figure attracted the attention of almost all the women present. He faced the fat man with a cold face, without fear.

Do you have the audacity to turn the tables? Liang Bo's anger grew stronger as he pointed to his bleeding forehead and gritted his teeth, saying, "Who did this to my head?"

Ai grass ... ... Liang Bo felt so ashamed that he dared not lift his head. When wiping with the paper, he slightly blocked Ai grass's line of sight.

After pondering for a few seconds, he spoke again very sincerely, "She is young and ignorant, I apologize on her behalf." Then, he took out his wallet, pulled out a considerable amount of cash, took a step forward, and handed it to Liang Bo.

Le Chengyu silently took the money and glanced at the indifferent girl in front of him. Suddenly, he became a little curious about her, as if she was different every time he saw her.

A crisp yet indifferent voice of a young girl came from behind the crowd. Lv Aicao walked through the crowd and approached Liang Bo, handing him some paper to help him deal with the bloodstains on his head.

Le Chengyu hadn't finished speaking, but Liang Bo mercilessly knocked the money out of his hand with the hand still stained with blood. The red banknotes scattered all over the ground.

Lv Aicao silently watched Liang Bo, not surprised at all.

Liang Bo, that's enough!

You are talking nonsense!

Ai Cao, what are you doing! Liang Bo was furious and wanted to step forward to stop her, but was fiercely pushed away by Lv Ai Cao. After counting eight of them, she handed the remaining money to Le Chengyu.

I'm taking your girl to the police station because she hit my brother!

However, when her gaze shifted to the face of the girl who was scared to tears, she realized that it was the same girl who had caused trouble for herself in the bathroom.

However, the small hoodlum in front of him with blood still flowing from his forehead made him start to question this theory.

Stop nagging, you're so young and already getting wrinkles. Liáng Bó pouted, "Isn't it also for taking care of you that I came here?"

The whole bar resounded with the screams of girls killing pigs, but no one came forward to say a word.

Equally shocked, there is also Lv Aicao.

"Enough, stop it!" The fat man standing in the middle shouted loudly, pulled his bag and threw it into Liang Bo's arms. "This bar is a place for business, not for your nonsense! If you want to cause trouble, come with me to the police station now!"

People should learn to be grateful. Do you think you are being a bit too self-righteous?

Although there were no extra movements, he just stood there, exuding a compelling momentum, which momentarily left the chubby man undecided.

A brand new one hundred yuan bill was placed on the bar counter, and Lv Aicao picked it up without even looking at it.

In an instant, the air seemed to freeze into ice, and everyone was stunned. No one expected that the usually smiling little rascal would say such words.

Lv Aicao glanced indifferently around for a week, and finally his gaze fell on Le Chengyu. Le Chengyu opened his mouth to say something, but in the next second, Lv Aicao crouched down and picked up the scattered money on the ground in front of everyone.

Spending money to settle the matter is the only solution he can think of now. His affluent background has always made him feel that although money cannot solve all problems, most problems can be solved. If they cannot be solved, just add some more, and there will always be a satisfactory result in the end.

"I give you two choices, but you refuse both. Fine, come with me to the police station and explain!" The fat man grabbed the girl's arm and dragged her away.

An ear-splitting music, colorful and bizarre lights, young people dancing wildly and getting drunk, these scenes make up an ordinary day at this Japanese-style bar.

Stop being so talkative! Didn't I tell you to smoke less? You smell like smoke now.

What on earth is going on?

Ai Cao, give me two glasses of Bloody Mary.

Lü Ai stood still and took a deep breath. It's better to avoid trouble if possible.

Lv Aicao looked at Liang Bo's head, only thinking about going out to buy medicine and bandage for him. When she turned around to get her wallet, a boy rushed in at that moment.

Big brother, let's talk things out. There's no need to resort to violence against a girl. The boy smiled before speaking, his humble demeanor calming down the chubby man who was about to get angry.

"Who wants your stinky money!" Liang Bo stepped forward and glared at Le Chengyu, saying, "Do people like you think that money can solve everything? Do you think that having money gives you the right to trample on others' dignity? Although you may be more polite than her, you are essentially the same! Don't pretend with me! I don't want it! Today, I will take her to the police station and let the police discipline her!"

Saying Cao Cao arrived, Liang Bo, who has been stationed here for a long time, saw Lv Ai on duty and came over to order two glasses of wine.

If you have money, you come here to fool around, when will you make some progress? Lv Aicao's tone was full of reprimand as she pushed two Bloody Marys towards him.

Liáng Bó doesn't know it, but at this moment, he seems to emit a kind of radiance that makes him look as tall as a mountain.

Le Chengyu is the opposite of Lu Aicao. Although he appears calm, his inner surprise is stronger than anyone present. Since childhood, his father, who came from a military background, demanded strict obedience from him. He has always lived in a world of pure commands and obedience, and later went to military school according to his father's wishes. Therefore, compared to other peers, he does not understand too much about human relationships and social etiquette. He accepts punishment for mistakes and praise for doing things right. This is his principle.

People around immediately dispersed when they saw the matter resolved.

Lv Aicao stared at him coldly, with a questioning expression that seemed to say, "Didn't we agree not to cause trouble?" It made him break out in a cold sweat.

Sorry. Le Chengyu didn't have time to think, bent his body ninety degrees, and made a big gesture to Liang Bo in front of everyone's eyes.

Who asked you to take care of me! Ai Cao's face became even worse.

The girl had never seen such a scene before, and was immediately scared silly, standing still. And her companions, who had been with her, had no idea where they had slipped off to at this time, and all of them were nowhere to be seen.

Lv Aicao changed clothes in the toilet and came out. He met several drunk girls head-on. They were dressed provocatively, wearing heavy makeup, and occasionally uttering vulgar words.

Liang Bo looked on eagerly, but dared not talk back.

As soon as the scream sounded, everyone quieted down, even the music stopped, and for a moment, the bar fell silent. Then, everyone gathered in one direction, and Lü Aicao rushed over as well.

At a glance, Le Chengyu knew that the fat man's words were not false.

Don't you think hitting someone's head with a wine bottle is particularly imposing? Today, I'll show you what real power is!

Le Chengyu remained calm and composed, using his deep, dark eyes to sweep back and forth between Liang Bo and the girl. The girl in his arms couldn't resist the guilt in her heart and kept her head down without saying a word.

Hello! Didn't you see me washing my hands here? Why did you turn off my faucet!

Big brother, big brother! He bullied me! He wanted to hit me with a wine bottle, but luckily I dodged it!The girl, who was scared and almost paralyzed a second ago, immediately went to the man and complained pitifully.

Le Chengyu!" The girl regained her composure in shock, but after seeing the boy's face, there seemed to be no surprise, but rather some hesitation. However, this emotion quickly disappeared. She held onto the boy's waist tightly, as if grabbing onto a life-saving straw, and hid behind him, crying and complaining. The delicate shirt on the boy's body was quickly soaked with tears, revealing dirty stains.

The fat man spoke, and Liang Bo emerged from behind, glaring fiercely at the girl who looked as fragile as a rabbit at the moment.

At the moment when he saw the girl's face, Le Chengyu unexpectedly felt a sense of uncontrollable joy.

This sharp and harsh words are like sharp knives, cutting away the dignity of the girl. And the onlookers around, knowing what's going on, burst into laughter and sighs.

She gently brushed aside her bangs, patted her cheeks, to make herself look more refreshed. She had to work until midnight tonight before she could get off work.

Speaking of which, she is actually quite lucky. At first, the boss asked her to be a waiter, but later, seeing her intelligence, he let her learn how to mix drinks. In this kind of place, a bartender is much better than a waiter, not only because they don't have to deal with too many people, but also because their salary is higher.

That serves you right! Who told you to have such indecent thoughts about me! The girl's stubborn and arrogant behavior is annoying.

Liang Bo sat down in front of her, took out a cigarette as if to light it, but she snatched it away with a "whoosh".

Please, it would be great if I don't drag you to the police station in my current state! Liáng Bó fully displayed his thug-like appearance without reservation. He took out her wallet, pulled out three hundred yuan in cash, shook it, and put it in his pocket.

So it turns out that... it's older brother?

This kind of young girl, Liang Bo has seen a lot, relying on her looks to act recklessly, he didn't even take her seriously. With a raise of his hand, he grabbed her bag and said, "Are you trying to give me money to see a doctor?"

Why only say it to me? What about him? The girl seemed greatly wronged, pointing at Liang Bo and shouting loudly.

Sorry, I failed to discipline my younger sister. If you have any dissatisfaction, please vent it on me. Please give her a chance since she is still young and this is her first offense. She will soon be taking the college entrance exam, and if she has a blemish on her record, it will ruin half of her future.

Forget it. Lv Aicao gritted his teeth and decided to give him a call later. That person, as long as you treat him a little bit nicely, he will be happy. But there were a few customers at the moment, and when she remembered to call Liang Bo, she found that she had called him several times but he didn't answer.

Until returning to the bar, Lv Aicao finally got into a better state. After a smooth handover with the previous bartender, she started her formal work.

When they arrived, Lv Aicao naturally felt relieved. With his relationship with Liang Bo and these people, he would never have any trouble.

The piercing and noisy female voice, along with the arrogant and overbearing tone, coupled with a face that, despite heavy makeup, cannot conceal the youthful and compelling aura... Lü Aicao's heart sank, knowing that she had encountered trouble again. Glancing at the two taps that had just been turned off, Lü Aicao felt so irritated that she wanted to curse.

Let her go! His voice was strong and resolute, with no trace of fear on his face. He immediately released the girl's hand that was being held, and protectively stood in front of her.

If someone else said this sentence to him, Liang Bo would definitely rage, but when it came out of Lv Aicao's mouth, it was completely different.

He lifted it up in one breath. Lv Aicao wanted to educate her well, but was pushed aside by two girls who suddenly rushed up. The two girls supported the little girl and walked out in a hurry, looking very anxious and excited.

Lv Ai Cao watched as Liang Bo disappeared into the crowd, and suddenly felt that she had gone too far. In fact, Liang Bo was right. He always came to the bar because he was worried about her. Since childhood, Liang Bo had taken care of her like a brother, but she would often get angry with him for no reason.

No wonder he wants to protect that girl like a calf. The contempt in his heart has unknowingly changed. After all, when you have such a sister, there's nothing anyone can do.

In the crowded layers of people, a familiar male voice came out. In an instant, Lü Aicao's heart jumped to her throat, and she didn't care about anything else, pushing through the crowd to squeeze in.

It was the boy who hit her and then asked about Le You.

However, although there is a feeling of encountering each other everywhere in life, Lv Aicao instinctively looks at him with colored glasses. There is no other reason, only because he protects that extremely indulgent girl without asking for reasons. If he can be infatuated with such a girl, he is not much better off.

However, his principle can never be applied to the girl next to him, so even if he knows she is terribly wrong, he must first rescue her before saying anything.

This little girl was making a phone call on the side, but the tap was left running continuously. Lv Aicao, who has always upheld the principle of water conservation since childhood, naturally couldn't bear to see it and casually turned it off. Little did she know that this would also become a reason for someone to pick a fight.

I don't know why, Lv Aicao thought of her only younger sister - Xu Yuan. If she gets into trouble outside, regardless of right or wrong, she will always protect her first.

Liang Bogang's just straightened back stiffened, he never expected this wealthy young man to be so humble.

Hey? You're quite quick!

Oh... What surprised everyone was that the girl suddenly laughed and looked at Liang Bo sarcastically, saying, "So you guys are in cahoots, trying to cheat my money! Fine, it's just money, I'll just consider it a donation to the beggars!"

At this moment, Liang Bo was holding a broken bottle and staring fiercely at the girl in front of him who was scared and crying. There was fresh red blood continuously flowing down his forehead.

Today I went out in a hurry and didn't bring much cash. You can hold onto this money for now. If it's not enough, you can call me or I can accompany you to the hospital. She's only eighteen years old and her life has just begun. She can't go to the police station...

Le Chengyu stayed in place, watching the two people with intimate movements, and a subtle fluctuation arose in his heart. These two people are quite interesting.

Lv Aicao looked at her flushed cheeks, which were stung by cold water. She picked up her changed clothes and walked out, but unexpectedly, she was grabbed from behind by someone.

Pa.

A tall and fierce-looking fat man with a group of people walked over. They were ostensibly the security guards of the bar, but in reality, they were thugs hired by the boss to maintain order.

Youーー

The fat man and Liang Bo said in unison, obviously angered by her.

She walked to the sink, washed her hands, looked up, and at this moment, the girl with a plain face and a pale complexion in the mirror slightly curved her lips, giving her a faint bitter smile. Despite her dislike for this environment, she had to persevere. After all, the money she earned from working here was enough to support her family, and it was time to pay for her mother's hospital expenses in the next quarter.

What are you doing, what are you doing! What's going on here?

A loud sound of a huge wine bottle shattering suddenly rang out, followed by a piercing scream that pierced through the deafening music, which was heart-stopping.

The girl was really scared this time, her face turned pale like a crab waiting to be cooked, struggling desperately with bared teeth and claws, shouting: "Let me go! Do you know who I am? Let me go!"

Liang Bo was not angry either. After all, they had known each other for so many years. He could tell at a glance that she must have been unhappy these days. He knew very well that it was best not to provoke an angry woman, so he laughed it off and left with his drink.

Ai Cao quietly left the bar under the pretext of going to the toilet.

Lü Ai was confused and stunned.

Such girls, she encounters them every day, and has long been accustomed to it. When she first came to work at the bar, she despised these people, but later she realized that her harsh arrogance was nothing to be proud of. Compared to their colorful and carefree lives, her own struggling and difficult life seemed even more pitiful.

These eight hundred yuan can be considered as medical expenses. You can take the rest back. Let's just leave it at that. As for whether the bar owner should pay compensation, I don't care. Lv Aicao said these words decisively and efficiently, appearing as if he had dealt with many similar matters before, showing no signs of nervousness.

Now I give you two options: 1. Leave immediately; 2. Come with me to the police station. The overweight man did not show any special consideration towards her just because she was a girl.

As if greatly insulted, the girl's face was filled with embarrassment. She picked up her bag and angrily prepared to throw it at Liang Bo.

Lv Ai Cao knows that is Liang Bo's self-esteem, which no one can trample on at will.
