When we got back to the hotel, it was already midnight.
As soon as I entered the door, I saw Xiaoduo sitting in the lobby bar, holding her chin in her hands and looking out the window with a slightly disappointed look.
I walked over, got behind her, put my hand on her shoulder, and asked softly:
"Little girl, why don't you sleep?"
Xiaoduo puckered her face, looked back at me, and said a little melancholy:
"Can't sleep!"
"Where's Mr. Hong?"
"Aunt Qu gave me another beating, so I should go to bed now..."
As she spoke, Xiaoduo opened her big watery eyes, looked at me and said:
"Sometimes I really envy Mr. Hong for having such a loving mother..."
Xiaoduo's words made my heart hurt.
Similar words were said by her when she was in Habei.
"On the sixth day of the sixth day of the lunar month, do you think she will come tomorrow?"
The woman in Xiaoduo's mouth refers to Xie Chengbing.
I sat on the chair next to me and asked Xiaoduo:
"I think she will come, but have you thought about it? What will you do after she recognizes you in public?"
Xiaoduo shook his head depressedly and said:
"I don't know either! Forget it, don't think about it anymore, let's talk about it tomorrow. Let's go to bed!"
I laughed awkwardly. If Mr. Hong heard this sentence, he might not say anything like a tiger or a wolf.
But Xiaoduo just did it by nature and had no other meaning at all.
With that said, the two of us walked to the elevator.
As soon as I pressed the elevator, I saw a man walking out of the corner next to me.
The moment I saw him, my heart skipped a beat. This man was exactly the man in white from a few days ago.
"What a coincidence? You didn't sleep either?"
Looking at Xiaoduo, he greeted him elegantly.
Xiaoduo tilted her head and glanced at him, then asked:
"Is it a coincidence, or are you waiting for me here on purpose?"
Xiaoduo's straightforwardness made the man smile sheepishly. Xiaoduo continued:
"If I find you following me again, I will be rude to you!"
The man in white was neither sullen nor angry, with a gentle and elegant expression. He nodded and said:
"Okay, I listen to you!"
"That's pretty much it!"
The three of us got on the elevator together. After I sent Xiaoduo back to her room, I prepared to go back to my room.
After walking a few steps, I smelled the smell of cigarettes coming from the corner.
Then, the man in white walked out from the corner.
I stood there and looked at him silently.
He looked at me in the same way, still looking elegant and speaking calmly.
"Your name is Chu Liu, right?"
I nodded.
"Can we chat?"
"Where to go?"
"Just go to the terrace next to it!"
The autumn breeze is blowing, and the elegant terrace is a little cooler than usual.
I tightened my clothes, took out a cigarette, and lit it silently.
"I heard that you are Xiaoduo's best friend?"
The man in white looked at me and asked softly.
"It should be!"
I took a puff of cigarette and looked into the distance without denying it.
"Do you know who I am?"
"I have a guess, but it may not be accurate!"
"I want to trouble you with something, but don't worry, I won't ask you in vain. I will agree to your request, as long as it's not too much!"
"you say!"
"Can you help me persuade her to go to Yundian!"
My brows couldn't help but frown.
After taking a long puff of cigarette, I slowly said:
"I don't like to make decisions for others, just like I don't like others to make decisions for me. Xiaoduo is my friend, no matter what she chooses, I will stand by her side. Sorry, I can't promise you!"
My refusal surprised the man in white. He glanced at me and asked:
"Do you know? The one thing I promised you may change the fate of your life. Do you really refuse like this?"
I smiled, looked at him, and said lightly:
"My destiny is up to me. The one who can change my destiny is not you, but myself!"
As soon as I finished speaking, I turned around and left.
But in my heart I was faintly worried about Xiaoduo.
Tomorrow, everything about this girl will be revealed. Can she really accept it calmly?
Early the next morning, we got up early, had breakfast, and went to the door.
The motorcade arranged by Xiaolu is already waiting at the door.
When I walked down the steps, I called He Xiaoshi to my side and said softly:
"Xiao Shi, please look at Xiao Duo more today. Something may happen in a while. You can take care of her emotions for me..."
"What about you?"
He Xiaoshi asked me a little strangely.
I looked at the motorcade at the bottom of the steps and said softly:
"I may have a lot to do today. I'm afraid I won't be able to handle it all..."
This is not an excuse on my part.
No need to have a hunch, I already know it.
Today will definitely be a difficult day.
The motorcade drove slowly towards Zheng Ruhuan's villa.
As soon as I arrived at the door, I saw a lot of luxury cars parked in the parking lot.
At the door, teams of security guards were standing there in a formal manner.
Xiaolu and Zheng Cheng were standing at the door, greeting visitors from all over.
After getting off the car and walking to the door, Xiaolu greeted me politely.
Zheng Cheng on the side glanced at me sideways and said with a half-smile:
"Congratulations, sixth grade. You will be my boss from now on!"
As he said that, he took the initiative to extend his hand.
But I know clearly that behind this sinister tone, there are many shady murderous intentions hidden.
