"Ariel, where are you? I have all the relevant information about the pieces of land that I participated in the auction..."
"Just make your decision!" Ling Lie hung up the phone with just one sentence. He didn't want to think about anything or say anything now! But then he calmed down and called back.
"Alan, help me check whether Lin Zixu has any commission or cooperation with Yuchi Group, and whether Yunsheng Group has anything to do with them."
"Lin Zixu? Are you still in the mood to care about him now...wait...you mean Yunsheng? Do you suspect that Lin Zixu is also involved in Yunsheng and the others?"
"Not sure, please check and help me keep an eye on Lin Zixu." Ling Lie said and closed the line. He didn't gain much from this trip. He just came out and met with the housekeeper of Yuchi's family. He won't admit his mistake.
, he had met that person at the wedding of Yuchi Mingxi and Pei Anna. In addition, he accidentally saw a book of information on Yunsheng Group on Lin Zixu’s desk, which suddenly gave him the idea to check it out. What is Yunsheng Group?
The initiators of the first confrontation with him, the Ling Family, they had a lot of people who were dissatisfied with the Ling Family and wanted to take the opportunity to bring down the Ling Family. If they couldn't bring him down, they would all be dead!
Ling Lie drove directly back home. As soon as he got out of the car, Yao Wenya threw herself into his arms like a ball of flame, and then pressed her hot lips against hers. Ling Lie hugged her along with her movements and kissed her back.
"Are you trying to create a surprise by running back after you said you weren't going to come back?" Yao Wenya smiled broadly and happily hugged Ling Lie's arm and followed him into the house.
Ling Lie was surprised by Yao Wenya's reaction, but seeing her so happy didn't dampen her enthusiasm.
"How do you like it? Can I put these flowers here?" Yao Wenya asked Ling Lie, pointing to the large bouquet of red roses on the coffee table.
Ling Lie's heart skipped a beat. It was really ironic that the flower appeared here. He went upstairs without saying a word.
Yao Wenya looked at Ling Lie strangely and didn't know what was wrong with him, but then followed him. She knew that he had been working too much recently and must be in trouble. She also heard from Lin Zixu that the company's situation was very serious, so she could persuade him
The matter of giving up Ling Moxuan's custody rights is imminent. If the situation with the Yuchi family and the Pei family is really stalemate, it will be even more difficult to recover.
"Lie..." Yao Wenya pushed open the study door and found Ling Lie leaning against the table.
"Come in." Ling Lie did not turn around, but focused on lighting the cigar in his hand with a match.
Yao Wenya leaned over and saw what Ling Lie was doing.
"Do you smoke cigars too?"
"Also? Who else smokes cigars? You?" Ling Lie glanced sideways at Yao Wenya, then lowered his head to rotate the cigar in his hand, carefully lighting the cigar fully and evenly.
"Me? I don't smoke that damn thing! I just haven't seen you smoke it, so I'm just asking out of curiosity." Yao Wenya retreated behind Ling Lie, a little cautious, and she unconsciously thought of Lin Zixu in front of him.
The so-called cigar smoking also means that Lin Zixu smoked that thing in front of her.
"Really don't want to try it?" Ling Lie handed the lit cigar to Yao Wenya.
Yao Wenya shook her head and refused: "No, I'm not interested in this thing."
"It feels good, haven't you tried it?" Ling Lie continued to test. In fact, he had the urge to ask directly, but they finally got to this point, and he began to be cautious, fearing that everything would be like a bubble, and he would just poke it.
Broken. But he was holding it back and felt uncomfortable. This was really not something humans should suffer. He wished Yao Wenya could be honest with him. Even if he was announced to be out, he hoped she would be honest. Lin Zixu spoke so firmly today
, if Yaya chooses him...will she choose him? He doesn't know what their common secret is, but being able to have a common secret already makes him jealous!
"I haven't tried it, and I don't want to try it!" Yao Wenya shook her head vigorously. The feeling of being choked last time was still so clear, and she didn't like that feeling. Suddenly thinking of Lin Zixu's frivolous actions, she felt guilty for Ling Lie again, and her cheeks
He was so red that he didn't dare to look at Ling Lie.
Ling Lie felt even worse when he saw her evasive eyes. He slowly brought the cigar to his lips and said, "You go out first. I want to be alone and think about something quietly."
Because the topic just now seemed awkward, Yao Wenya bowed out obediently. She didn't want to affect his work.
Ling Lie felt that his hand holding the cigar was shaking slightly. He held the end of the cigar with his lips and took a strong breath. His slightly trembling hand suddenly tightened, and the cigar broke into two pieces in an instant. He threw it to the ground and tried desperately.
He stepped on it with his feet. Because his breathing was not smooth, he coughed just now from taking a breath. He held the edge of the table with both hands and felt that his whole body had lost all strength.
Yao Wenya left the study and just walked to the stairs when her phone rang. She took it out and saw that it was Lin Zixu. She turned around uneasily and looked at the closed study and quickly answered it.
"Lin Zixu, I warned you..."
"How's it going? Do you still like my gift?"
Yao Wenya was stunned for a moment. She looked at the red roses on the coffee table in the living room downstairs and suddenly felt a chill running down her spine. "What gift? Did you give that flower to me?"
"Then who do you think it is?"
"Damn it!" Yao Wenya cursed and quickly retracted the thread and ran back to the study. However, when he raised his hand, he couldn't knock it down, and his heart tightened and it hurt.
I tried hard several times, but I still didn’t know how to explain it to Ling Lie. I raised my hand and put it down again, but never knocked on the closed door, but tears fell involuntarily. I don’t know if it was because I was heartbroken or because I felt
Ling Lie was so sad that he finally squatted weakly in front of the door, curled his legs and cried silently.
Suddenly the door was opened with great force. Yao Wenya was startled and reflexively raised her face. When she saw Ling Lie coming out, she immediately stood up and hugged him.
"Lie, I'm sorry, I thought the flowers were from you..."
"I'm not in the mood to give it away!" Ling Lie pushed Yao Wenya away, "I'm going back to the company and will pick up Xuanxuan in the afternoon."
Yao Wenya stared blankly at Ling Lie going downstairs. He said that he was not in the mood to give her a gift, but today was her birthday, so he didn't think it mattered.
Yao Wenya took a deep breath and rushed downstairs, running to Ling Lie to stop him. "Lie, even if you are not in the mood to send them, I have to make it clear that I accepted the flowers, but I thought it was you who gave them.
Yes, what I care about is you!" After saying that, he ran to the coffee table, picked up the roses and threw them to the ground. The vase broke and the water was spilled. Yao Wenya raised his feet and stepped up to trample the scattered roses.
The plump petals splashed with juice under her step... The fragrance of the flowers quickly spread, but the red liquid was as dazzling as blood.
"That's enough!" Ling Lie grabbed Yao Wenya. He didn't want to admit that he was worried that the vase fragments would hurt her so he grabbed her.
