Walking aimlessly along the sunny street, she saw people at work scrambling down different roads, buses passing her, and even the entrance to the mall was crowded with people, men and women leaving their homes and hurrying through the neighborhood.
Mika looked at the images as if they were alien to her. In fact, it was time for her to go back to Boston and finish her thesis. Ming City was a place that would make her uneasy. No matter if it was day or night, she could not sleep as long as she thought about Ling Yiheng.
She had not been able to contact him for a few days because she did not have the courage or the ability to figure out what the answer was.
She forced herself to calm down and walked steadily forward. After crossing the moat, she entered a lively street that seemed to be a street in the old city district.
Part of the street was made of brown stone and dark red brick. It had the style of the old streets of Ming City, and there were a lot of old buildings around it. There were also a lot of old shops, a lot of trucks, and a lot of men and women hurrying past.
Being in it, Mika felt hesitant and afraid. It was as if she had grown up in a foreign country, making her feel different from the atmosphere she had when she was young.
She had not expected that her hesitant appearance on the street would be captured by a camera at a corner not far away. In the sunlight, the side profile of her face was painted very softly and perfectly.
"Hey, why are you taking pictures of me?" Realizing the flash was aimed at her, Mika hurried to catch up.
She saw that the man was dressed like a tramp, his hair was covered by his eyes, and she couldn't see what he looked like. The only valuable thing about him was probably the expensive camera.
But the man saw that something was wrong and immediately turned around and ran, completely ignoring the fact that Mika was chasing him. Originally, she was wearing high heels, so it was impossible for her to catch up with these "strays" with well-developed sports cells. Therefore, no matter how, she could not catch up. In the end, she could only watch as he disappeared from her line of sight.
He leaned angrily against the wall of the road, gasping for air. He felt that his luck had been terrible recently.
Ling Yiheng told her that he did not love her and that he only wanted to pretend to marry her in order to deceive Auntie Ruan. Zuo Zixian, whom she thought was a good friend, actually stole the main culprit behind her fiance. Her world had never been so chaotic before. To be secretly photographed on the streets was truly bad luck.
After she stopped to catch her breath, she bought herself a glass of water and sat in the convenience store with the phone in her hand. She looked at the phone number that said that it could help her get back Ling Yiheng's number and wasn't sure if she should dial it or not.
After thinking for a long time, she finally put down the phone.
"Don't give up hope. Isn't it good that he can become your husband no matter what?"
"But that's not true."
One of them told her that as long as she could be acknowledged as his wife by Ling Yiheng, they would have more and more chances to get along with each other. At that time, perhaps a spark would naturally appear, and then everything would come to fruition.
But the other villain said that all of this was fake. He was only using him to restore his mother's health, and when that happens, he would return to Zuo Zisheng's side, and from start to finish, he was only his little sister or his best friend in his heart.
What should he do? The three words kept circling in Mika's mind, but she couldn't make any sense of them.
Zuo Zixian was not surprised to hear from Mika and answered almost without hesitation.
"Hello, Mika?"
"Zhi Wu, I want to talk to you."
"Sure, say it, I'm listening."
The current Zuo Zixian actually didn't know how to face Mika, because from beginning to end, she was the one who let Mika down.
"Zhi Wu, I know about the matter between you and brother Yi Heng, or maybe he really likes you." But I've loved him for years, and I don't want to lose him. So, I beg you, please don't meet with him again, okay?
She knew she shouldn't have made this call, because it would have made Brother Yi Heng hate her. After all, to him, the position that Zuo Ziqian held in his heart was more important than his.
But if she didn't fight for it, how could she get the love and marriage she longed for?
When Zuo Zixian heard Mika's words, he took a deep breath, "Mika, I think it's really necessary for me to reiterate to you that I really won't take the initiative to meet Ling Yiheng. But you know better than I do what he's got, don't you? I really think of you as a very good friend, so I've completely cut him off. Even if he comes to me again, I can call the police and tell them he's harassing me. "
"You … Is that true? " Mika wasn't sure, but she always thought that Zuo Zixian seemed to be sulking.
"I'm serious, I won't rob my good friend's fiancé. Furthermore, the relationship between him and I is not as you think. If there's anything to do with him, it's a trade. "
However, Zuo Zixian didn't dare to speak the truth behind the matter, he only wanted Mika to feel his sincerity.
Hearing her say this, Mika seemed more at ease and didn't pursue the matter. She just asked her to take good care of herself and hung up the phone.
As she thought about it, she felt that Zuo Zixian was not the kind of person who would steal other people's fiance. However, the problem now was … Ling Yiheng didn't like her at all.
"Zuo Zixian, you better explain to me, why are you cooperating with the hundred million city construction project?"
Zuo Zi Wu looked at Ling Yi Heng, who was standing in front of him. His entire body was emitting a cold aura, causing others to feel a tinge of fear.
She stepped back and looked questioningly at Tabolte. "Why did you let him in?"
Tabolte looked at a loss, "Konnie, CEO Ling said that he wanted to talk to you, so I invited him in."
"It's none of her business." He looked at Tabolte and told her to go out first.
It was obvious that there was something wrong between the two of them, and Tabolte knew that the atmosphere wasn't right, so she quickly left, not forgetting to close the door to the Left Sage's office.
Zuo Ziwang hatefully looked at the closed door, he didn't expect that Tabolte would actually lock her and Ling Yiheng together, did something go wrong with her brain? Didn't she see how evil this man looked?
"Speak, what did you do with Rui Chenyang?"
His gaze was like a saber that was ready to be drawn out at any moment, the cold aura caused the surrounding air to freeze.
"I have no obligation to answer your question. Please do not obstruct me, otherwise I will call the security." Zuo Zixian suppressed his inner conflict and panic and put on a calm mask.
She had already decided that she would not have anything to do with him!
"If you don't explain it clearly today, calling the security guards and the police would be useless!" The man couldn't control himself and roared. He couldn't bear what she did to Rui Chen Yang.
Thus, he had to ask.
He originally wanted Zhou Heng to investigate, but in order to respect her, he chose to personally ask, hoping that she would tell him the truth.
"What do I need to tell you? Do I have a duty to tell you everything about myself, including my privacy? Do you think it's the FBI? "
She did not understand why he was so unreasonable, but she did not have the mood to continue wasting time with him.
"Don't forget that you haven't paid my debt." The man's gaze turned even colder, and an irrepressible sense of unfamiliarity welled up.
This was what he felt in his heart when she ran away while crying and attacked Rui Chen Yang with her tears.
Between them, it seemed that from the moment she met Rui Chen Yang, they were no longer under his control.
If he didn't care about her feelings, he would have let Rui Chen Yang learn his lesson long ago.
"But the red wine that owes you a few million, that 100 million Sun Yi has already returned to you."
She already knew that Sun Yi had given her a hundred million, so the only thing that was in arrears was the batch of red wine that the winery owed him when they were on the verge of bankruptcy. She had said that she would use money to pay for it, because that batch of red wine could not be brewed without raw materials.
To this, Ling Yi Heng's expression didn't change, "If you know that there are still several million left, then I will still be your creditor."
"Alright, as long as you tell the intermediary company now that they are willing to sell my house, I'll immediately return the money to you after I sell my house!"
If he really wanted to force her like this, then that was all she could do.
"Zuo Zixian, when I said I wouldn't let you sell your house, I just wouldn't let you sell your house. Why would you rather agree to Rui Chen Yang's conditions and not accept my help? You really like him, don't you? "
As he walked closer, the anger in his eyes became more apparent.
Could that Rui Chenyang, who had lost to him almost everywhere, really snatch away the woman that belonged to Ling Yiheng?
"Yes, I like Rui Chen Yang, I like him a lot!" Are you satisfied? Can you leave my world now? " She yelled, tears welling up in her eyes, unwilling to be seen through by him.
The man's face was as ugly as a storm. He violently grabbed her neck, forcing her to the wall, "You're my woman, you actually betrayed me to be with Rui Chenyang. You're so despicable!"
When he thought that she might have already had sex with Rui Chenyang, he felt unbearable pain in his limbs and bones, which was why he was so angry.
