It was just like back in school when she had just started learning how to write her name. She was afraid that she would make a mistake, but every time the pen in her hand moved, tears would fall from her eyes. By the time she finished writing her name, she realized that there was a large wet spot where she had signed her name.
…
When they walked out of the Civil Affairs Bureau, Liang Feifan was still hugging her. She was sobbing uncontrollably as she buried her head in his chest. Liang Feifan's mood was unprecedentedly happy. When he put her back into the car, he took a tissue to wipe her tears. Suddenly, he leaned in close to her face and kissed her lips.
Their lips and teeth intertwined. Bai Lu endured all of his passion. In the end, she heard him say, "Honey, don't cry."
She couldn't help but reach out and hug his strong waist. She pressed her head against his and choked out, "Hubby." She sniffled desperately.
"Silly, are you feeling pressured by marrying me? Are you afraid that I will really go bankrupt? "Liang Feifan took another tissue to wipe her tears.
Bai Lu shook her head vigorously.
"Then why are you crying?"
"… I'm … touched." After she got pregnant, it became easier for her to cry.
Liang Feifan chuckled softly. "Don't cry. Otherwise, the little one in your stomach will think that Daddy is bullying Mommy."
Bai Lu burst out laughing through her tears. "… He's still so young. How would he know that I'm crying?"
"I have something else to tell you." Liang Feifan had already decided to tell her about the design competition after they registered, so now was the best time to tell her.
"What is it?"
Liang Feifan reached out and held her little hand. His thumb gently stroked the back of her hand. After a moment, he said, "The results of the design competition are out. If nothing goes wrong, they will be announced tomorrow."
"… The results of the design competition?" Bai Lu's mind worked a little fast. She quickly thought of something. "Did Buck say something to you?"
Liang Feifan nodded. Just as he was about to say something, his phone suddenly rang with a text message. He paused. Because it was a private phone, there usually wouldn't be any random text messages. Moreover, it was a critical period now, so he was even more cautious when he wasn't in the company.
He took out his phone and glanced at it. It was an unknown number and there was a long line. Liang Feifan gestured for Bai Lu to wait for a while before he opened the text message to look to see it.....
"I'll send you back first."
Bai Lu saw him casually throw his phone on the dashboard. Her eyes were glued to the phone. Liang Feifan started the engine and said nonchalantly, "It's something important at the company. I need to rush over to take care of it. I'll be back as soon as possible. Wait for me at home."
Something at the company?
Bai Lu didn't believe him. Because of company matters, he didn't need to look at text messages. Guan Chao didn't have the habit of texting him. Although she didn't see a single word clearly, she knew it was a long text message. There seemed to be a picture …
But she knew he didn't want to say. If she asked, he would find an excuse to avoid it.
Bai Lu obediently agreed. Liang Feifan quickly sent her back to the villa and instructed the servants to take good care of her before leaving.
At the Ye residence.
Ye Zijie was dressed in comfortable home clothes. He held a small Yixing clay teapot in one hand and poured some tea into his teacup. He slowly tasted it and clicked his tongue in praise. "Brother Liang, come, come, come. You should try it too. This tea is top-grade Longjing tea."
Liang Jiannan sat across from him with an ashen face. How could he be in the mood to taste tea?
He was called over by Ye Zijie today. Of course, even if he didn't call him over, he had already thought about it. He would have to face it sooner or later.
Ever since Liang Jingxiao's marriage was ruined, he knew this day wasn't too far away.
"Ye Zijie, you know I'm not here to taste tea with you today."
Liang Jiannan was also a veteran. Although Ye Zijie had something on him, he knew very well that Ye Zijie still hadn't made a move yet. There was definitely room for negotiation. "Say it. What do you want?"
"What's the hurry? There are some words that have to be said when everyone is here." Ye Zijie smiled as he fiddled with the small teacup in front of him. He pointed to the clock on the wall. "It's almost here. Wait a little longer."
Liang Jiannan's face was full of astonishment. "What did you say? There are still people coming? "
"There are some things that I can tell you. If you can't handle it, then I can only tell the person involved." Ye Zijie didn't hesitate. He shook his head as if it was a pity. "Brother Liang, the older you get, the less decisive you become. Think about the past. If someone made you uncomfortable, you would kill them without a second word. Where did that energy go? Now you're scared. If you can't even control your own son, wouldn't you start with that girl? "
Liang Jiannan's face became even more unsightly. His eyes flickered. He paused, and finally retorted with some unwillingness —
"… Ye Zijie, no matter what, we are people who do honest business. What do you mean by saying those words?"
"Honest business?"
Ye Zijie sneered. His fat face was full of disdain. "Business is honest, but I don't need to tell you again whether this method is honest or not, right? More than ten years ago, you were the one who taught me that in business, you have to be unscrupulous! Otherwise, would I have gotten hold of your weakness back then? "
Liang Jiannan abruptly stood up from his seat. He furrowed his brows and growled angrily, "You … Ye Zijie, I've really wronged you. I let you handle the matter back then because I've always trusted you. But now you're biting back at me! Can you blame me for everything? You and I both know that it's all because of that person. He … was too stubborn. So many years have passed. Do you think I feel good about it? Everyone has a conscience. Besides, I gave you a large sum of money to hand over to the victim's family. Besides, the Ye Clan also participated in the project back then. Now you're pushing all the blame onto me. That's not right, is it? "
"Don't play the emotional card with me. What trust? Liang Jiannan, you're also an old fox. It's because the Ye Clan also had a part in the project that you asked me to clean up after you, right? You're just trying to drag me down with you. But I'm not a pushover either. The evidence in my hands is all pointing to you! "
"…?"
Liang Jiannan always knew that there were no eternal enemies in the business world, but there were also no eternal friends. But this Ye Zijie was simply too much. He had already forced the Liang Clan to this point, and now he wanted to make things worse!
"Dad."
Just as the two of them were in a deadlock, Ye Lian came down the stairs in a light yellow dress. She had specially dressed up today. Her originally pretty face was not inferior, but after putting on some light makeup, she looked even more charming and moving.
"Have a good talk with Uncle Liang. I'm going out." As she spoke, she waved the phone in her hand. "The person you're waiting for won't be here because I've already made an appointment with him. It's better to meet him separately. What do you think?"
Liang Feifan stopped the car and saw a familiar car through the windshield.
The woman in the light yellow dress leaned against the car with a smile on her face. She looked completely confident. Liang Feifan turned off the car and got out.
"We grew up together. We used to see each other almost every day. But recently, it's been so difficult for me to see you. I even have to use Bai Lu to see you."
Ye Lian looked at the handsome man in front of her who she had been thinking about day and night. His expression was still so cold and distant. She felt her heart ache because she used to be the woman closest to him. But now, he was so far away.
She took a step forward. Her face was a little haggard because of the torment of longing and unwillingness over the past few days. Although it was covered by exquisite makeup, it still could not hide the loneliness in her expression.
Ye Lian smiled self-deprecatingly. "Feifan, I really don't know if I should be happy or sad right now."
Liang Feifan didn't have much patience. "You should know why I came to see you."
"The only reason you're willing to see me now is because of Bai Lu, right? … "
"Ye Lian."
Liang Feifan frowned. His exquisite features were tinged with hostility. His voice was low, but every word was filled with impatience. "I've already made some things very clear to you. Leave some dignity for yourself."
Ye Lian's red lips trembled slightly. Her expression was gloomy after being humiliated, but the last bit of dignity she had left forced her to endure. She clenched her handbag tightly, wishing she could gather all the strength in her body into the handbag in her palm.
— — She was the Family Ye's only heir. She was Ye Lian, Ye Zijie's daughter. What couldn't she want?
However, the man she wanted, from the moment she was sensible, she had poured all her feelings into him. In the end, she didn't even get a proper look at him.
Was everything she had done for him so worthless?
And Bai Lu … What could she bring to him?
It was just a disaster, but he would rather hug a ticking time bomb than take a second look at her ….
Ye Lian bit her lip. After a while, she calmed down the resentment in her heart. She still had a long battle to fight. She couldn't admit defeat now.
