The three women sat in the cafe and told stories, as if it were a pleasant affair. Time flowed by without him realizing it. Unexpectedly, almost half an hour had passed since she sat down. And Chu Meng's story had only just begun. Xia Nuan wanted to urge Chu Meng to make the story short, but it was not easy to break her memories of the life they were in, so she could only patiently listen from the side. Actually, this was just Li Xi and Chu Meng's stage, it had nothing to do with her, the third person. It was just that when it came to Lingyuxiao, everything had been linked to her.
"Keep going. It would be best if you could get back to the main topic at hand." Xia Nuan laughed embarrassedly, please forgive her, she was in a rush like an ant about to be pawned.
"In the beginning, he was often beaten all over. I was in such a hurry that tears were streaming down my face. I wanted to help him find medicine to treat his wounds. By then I felt like the sky was going to collapse. However, not long after, not only did he stop being beaten, but he also frequently beat the wounds all over his body. He often went out with a group of mysterious men in black and didn't return home until midnight. I asked him what had happened and he kept his mouth shut. Later, when I secretly followed him out the door, I found out that he was trying to stop a local gangster from doing something, and their relationship didn't seem too bad. I tried to stop him, but he said if he didn't, neither she nor I would survive. At that time, I knew that we had offended someone we shouldn't have. " What Chu Meng regretted the most was that she did not stop Lan Yetian from fighting with that man, which was why she turned Lan Yetian into such a state. Honestly speaking, Lan Yetian was the leader behind all the people, under one man, the leader of thousands of people. But frankly, he was just the shadow of the gang's boss.
"Why didn't you come back? Won't it be fine if I come back? " Li Xi seemed to have thought things through too simply. She had never experienced it before, so she did not understand how powerful the gangs were.
"We've also thought about not staying in the United States. However, the Boss immediately heard that Ye Tian had the intention to return home and warned him not to act rashly, so he could continue helping him. We ran past it, too, but it was intercepted by the boss and I was held prisoner for a while. Her goal was to make Ye Tian give up struggling. From that day on, Ye Tian lived an involuntary life. But he's always calling your name in her dreams, and I've seen him talk to that album, saying that the only thing he's holding out for is you. He wants to come back and see you. " Chu Meng seemed to still be able to clearly hear the passionate speech that Lan Yetian made when she came back to her dreams countless of times in the middle of the night.
Li Xi fell into silence. She shouldn't have blamed Lan Yetian, shouldn't have said something so heartless to him. He was not so easy.
"I'm sorry. I don't know about that. " Li Xi knew that it would be useless to apologize to Chu Meng now. However, she just couldn't control herself from saying those words.
"Later on, I found out that he had been trying every possible way to keep an eye on your news, but you didn't see him look at your photo in a daze, then start laughing again. He would have been in a good mood that day if there had been the slightest bit of information about you. Other than the one piece of news, he had practically read it all with the mood of breaking his computer, which was the news of your marriage to Lingyuxiao. He knew you were going to get married. He wanted to run back to you right away, no matter what. However, he was once again stopped by the Boss, and it even gave him a fierce beating. He didn't have the time to return home and stop you from marrying Lingyuxiao. He had been waiting for a chance, a chance to return home. "That's why when the Boss said that she was going back to his home country, he immediately recommended herself to be the person in charge of the Asia-Pacific region. That's why he finally came back." Of course, Chu Meng would not forget how excited she was the day that she found out she could return to his hometown. She was like a child, hugging her luggage all day, packing all the belongings she had with him, unable to stop at all. She told him to rest for a minute before she tidied things up, and he just said she couldn't stop for a moment, that she wanted to be home in a minute.
Xia Nuan knew that her boss was Lan Yetian. On the day that Lan Yetian returned to his country, he received a call from the United States Headquarters, asking her to help Lan Yetian with the previous work so that he could control the local forces later on. When she first met Lan Yetian, the cold air around his body made her shiver. However, when he found out about Lan Yetian's story, he also felt that he was just a pawn that was living a helpless life.
"So, it's not that he really wants to deal with Lingyuxiao. Rather, it was because Lingyuxiao's power was the strongest here. The BOSS told Lan Yetian to quickly take away Lingyuxiao's company and unify this side. He and Lingyuxiao did not have any deep grudges between them, nor did he want to kill them all. However, you might have truly angered him now. "Next, I don't know which direction things will take anymore." Chu Meng didn't want to see Lan Yetian continue to be someone else's shadow and not be able to live the life he truly wanted to live.
"I don't know about that. Really, I'm sorry. " Li Xi was extremely apologetic, but she couldn't do anything. When she found out the truth, she was shocked at first. But afterwards, all that came to her mind was the deep reproach she gave to Lan Yetian for his previous bad attitude. Why hadn't he thought about why Lan Yetian had come this far? He could only blame him for getting more and more outrageous.
"Now is not the time to apologize. I just want you to understand that he has a deep affection for you and I hope you don't misunderstand him. But, I won't give up either, I'll stay by his side. " Chu Meng decided to persevere. Now that six years had passed, she didn't mind waiting a little longer.
"This is incredible. I thought that Lan Yetian, such a strong person, would work with the big boss in the organization because he has a lot of money. It turned out that it wasn't a partnership. It was just a relationship of going up and down. Thinking about it this way, just how big of a background is the boss behind the scenes to actually control the entire American mafia and even extend the Demon Claw to the Asia-Pacific region? " Only then did Xia Nuan start to regret. If she had known earlier, would she not have worked so hard in the organization? When that time came, she would be like Lan Yetian and would not be able to get away.
"I've never met the boss. However, she was an American Chinese who had been hanging out on the streets of the United States ever since she was very young. She had used some unknown means to murder the leader of that time group and successfully ascended to the position of leader. After that, she became irreconcilable, earning both black and white money. However, our topic today is not about that organization. I also know that the situation is tense, but I can't do anything about it. Actually, Ye Tian had been secretly hoarding her strength and secretly training her men. She wanted to wait until the day she left the organization. As long as we convince him, everything will be fine. " Chu Meng would never give up, no matter how many grievances she had suffered in front of Lan Yetian all these years, she had never thought of giving up on loving him.
The three once again fell into silence. Although they were three women playing together, they were not three smelly smiths. Zhuge was not able to come up with a brilliant plan at the critical moment.
"Miss, please come in." Just then, a woman walked in from outside and attracted Li Xi's attention. She was silent, but she couldn't concentrate. It was as if she was watching a movie in her head, and she couldn't help but think of many patterns, incomplete patterns, falling down like bottomless pits, until the woman who walked in pulled her attention away.
Li Xi looked at hshe carefully, as if she was studying a work of art. However, that woman was indeed very elegant and beautiful. She gave off an extraordinary feeling of fashion. However, Li Xi wasn't using her envious eyes to observe her, but felt that no matter if it was the way she walked, or the way she raised her hand, he gave her a familiar feeling, and it was unknown where he saw her before.
Of course, at the same time that Li Xi was using all her eyes to gaze at the woman, a familiar tall figure walked in from behind her. It would be good if Li Xi did not watch it, but seeing it, she could not sit still.
She thought that Lingyuxiao knew that she was out to see Xia Nuan, and was looking for her at this moment, so she was a little flustered. But then he thought, with Xia Nuan and the other two, he did not do anything shameful, so why would he be afraid Lingyuxiao would continue asking? She was happy that he had come. Just as he was about to get up and call Lingyuxiao over to his side, he saw that the woman he was paying attention to just now had turned around and spoken to Lingyuxiao with a bashful expression. Li Xi's expression could not help but become a little ugly, but what made Li Xi even more uncomfortable was that, as if Lingyuxiao did not see him, he was still chatting and laughing with that woman. The two of them seemed to be very sweet, causing Li Xi to feel that their bodies were glowing, that kind of light that only lovers would have.
Xia Nuan had also noticed Lingyuxiao and the woman that even she did not know. In her eyes, the women surrounding Lingyuxiao were all eyesore. However, this woman did not make her feel that disgusted. Just that, talking and laughing with Lingyuxiao beside him, Xia Nuan did not like him. However, when she thought about her relationship with Lingyuxiao, his head immediately drooped. That's right, at least the woman could still see Lingyuxiao smiling at her, but she couldn't get anything else. Pitiful as she was, she was still always thinking for Lingyuxiao.
The woman didn't seem to notice that three pairs of eyes had been staring straight at her. Since it was so blatantly putting its hand on Lingyuxiao's arm, holding him as it ordered coffee, and even showing a very generous look, it introduced this restaurant's delicious drinks to Lingyuxiao. From time to time, he would even shake off his own hair and smile when he looked at Lingyuxiao. It was as if they were the only two people in the world.
But Lingyuxiao was different. He was not a celebrity. He was used to the feeling of being the center of attention. Therefore, when he noticed a burning gaze shooting towards him, he immediately started searching for the person that was looking at him. Then, he saw Li Xi at a table not far away. Naturally, when he first saw Li Xi together with Xia Nuan and the Chu Meng that he had not seen many times together, Lingyuxiao was somewhat puzzled. However, his curiosity was quickly overshadowed by the scene before him. Especially when he saw Li Xi making eye contact with him, and immediately turned his head back, he could not help but walk towards her.
