When Mia went downstairs, Mrs. Li was busy in the kitchen. Seeing her coming, Mrs. Li quickly brought the porridge that had been kept warm to her.
Mia lowered her head in embarrassment, afraid that she would see her wound cheek.
However, Mrs. Li did not ask anything. She only said gently, "Mr. Xi said that you may have a little fever. Please drink the porridge first and I'll bring the medicine for you. You shall have a rest at home these few days!"
Mia was a little surprised but also sad. She got the care that her family had never given her from a stranger.
After taking her medicine, she took a walk in the yard. There was a swing beside the flower bed. She sat on it and swung for a while. It made her feel much more relaxed.
Recalling what happened yesterday, she didn't apologize to William in the end. Hard to image how messy her family would be.
Even if they threatened her with her grandmother's medical expenses, she still couldn't do it. Thinking of this, she closed her eyes and silently counted her deposit. A bitter smile appeared on her face.
Grandma once said that when people were young, every sad thing made you feel like the end of the world. In fact, everything had just begun!

The Hengtai Building was located in the central area of the financial street of City B. Standing on the top floor, you could overlook the entire financial district.
When Troy Lu walked into the president's office, he saw that Alfred was leaning against the leather chair and resting with his eyes closed.
"What's wrong? Didn't you sleep well last night?" He walked over and sat on the chair in front of his desk. He teased, "Did you have too much s*x last night?"
Alfred opened his eyes and glanced at him. At this time, the secretary knocked on the door and came in with a cup of coffee.
Troy watched him drink up the coffee with great interest, waiting for his answer.
"I've been very busy recently. Don't you know?" Alfred put down his cup and said as he looked at him. There were still a few documents that he had not read in front of him. Not everyone was as free as this young master Lu.
"I know you are a busy man. The acquisition of companies in the United States has just ended, and now you are busy developing new mobile phones. I don't want to criticize you, but you have so much money that you can't finish in your whole life. Why are you still working so hard?" Troy couldn't work in the same way as him. It was better to have fun in time for Troy.
"Now the technology market is growing fast day by day. If we don't keep up with the pace, we will be eliminated!" The reason why he bought M Technology from America at a high price was that he wanted to occupy a place in the technology market.
"It's nothing if you are eliminated. Without technology company, you also have real estate, hotels, film and television companies... With so many industries, what are you worry about!" Troy said disdainfully.
Alfred shook his head. He didn't know how this young master of the Lu family, who had no entrepreneurial spirit, feathered the Lu's nest.
Troy did not want to continue this topic. It was not his style to talk about work after leaving the company.
"Do you want to listen to my interesting experience last night?" He came over and asked with a face full of gossip.
Alfred glanced at him and lit up a cigarette.
Troy smiled. It was rare that this man would like to hear. He continued his topic: "Last night, Ethan and I had dinner at the Brewmaster Hotel. To my surprise, the next room was in a big chaos. I found the voice was a little familiar and it turned out to be William Liu!
Alfred paused smoking for a moment, which was noticed by Troy. He knew that he was interested in this topic.
Then Troy continued, "Later, I asked a waiter in the hotel about it. It turned out that the Qiaos had set a special banquet to make an apology to William. Unfortunately, an important person didn't show up, so they ended up unhappily!"
