"She doesn't want to go abroad."
"Then what do you think?"
"I don't have any thoughts. If she doesn't want to go, I won't let her go." Liang Feifan said, "Actually, you and I both know how talented she is. Although going abroad will be of great help to her, she's pregnant now, so it's not very convenient. If she really doesn't want to go, I won't force her."
"Oh, what a good man. I have to give you a thumbs up."
Liang Feifan wasn't interested in joking with him. He reached out to light a cigarette and slowly took two puffs. "There's another reason why I came to see you today."
"Huh?"
"There's been an accident at the design competition."
…
He was afraid that if something special happened in the future, it might affect Buck's reputation, so Liang Feifan thought about it and told Buck everything Ye Lian told him.
Buck shrugged indifferently and spread his hands. His tone was somewhat dispirited. "Whether it blows up or not, do you think I care about this so-called design master title?"
He paused and said somewhat sadly, "… If something really happens, it's better to blow it up. That way, maybe someone will be touched."
Liang Feifan knew that Buck did have a woman abroad, and it was the kind of woman that he wanted to love but couldn't. However, he didn't know who that woman was. Buck had never said anything. He only mentioned it a few times indirectly. Liang Feifan knew Buck's personality. When he wanted to tell you, he would tell you himself. When he didn't want to talk about it, he would still change the topic if you asked.
There was a moment of silence in the room. Liang Feifan stopped for a few minutes and finished his cigarette. He saw that Buck was staring at a certain place with a lonely look in his eyes, but he had no intention of speaking. Liang Feifan simply stood up and looked at the time.
"I'm leaving first."
"I won't see you out."
…
Buck rarely went back to his villa. This hotel was one of his properties, so he had a private suite in the hotel and stayed there most of the time.
When Liang Feifan came out, it was almost 10 o 'clock in the evening. There were quite a lot of people coming in and out of the hotel. He entered the elevator and directly pressed the button for the b2 floor, but the elevator stopped halfway on the 5th floor. It wasn't a private elevator, so naturally, there were people going in and out. However, when the doors on the fifth floor opened, he saw no one coming in. Liang Feifan frowned and reached out to press the button to close the doors.
The moment the double doors closed, a figure suddenly flashed outside the elevator. Liang Feifan's brows, which had not yet relaxed, were now knitted even tighter.
...............
He saw that the elevator had reached the fourth floor and instinctively pressed the button for the first floor.
After exiting the elevator, he walked straight to the front desk. The staff naturally recognized him and hurriedly bowed respectfully. "Mr Liang."
Liang Feifan's long and slender fingers tapped the marble on the counter. "Call your manager over. Tell him I have something to discuss with him."
"Yes."
…
Five minutes later, the hotel manager hurried over. Liang Feifan was sitting in the hotel's reception room. The moment the manager entered, he nodded and bowed. "Mr Liang, I'm sorry. I didn't know you were here."
Liang Feifan rarely came here. Even if he did, he would go directly to Boss Buck. He didn't know why, but he had specifically asked him to come over today. The manager thought that he had done something wrong, so he carefully held his breath.
"Do you know my mother?" Liang Feifan held a cigarette between his fingers and said in a casual tone. As he spoke, he drew circles on the table.
The manager was stunned. "Yes, I do."
"Oh, so is she here today?"
"…" The manager opened his mouth. He looked like he couldn't react.
"You don't know?" Liang Feifan raised his eyebrows when he saw the manager's blank expression. "Go and find out which room my mother is in. Let me know when you find it. I'll wait for you here."
"Yes."
…
When Liang Feifan's cigarette was almost finished, the manager came in with the information he had found. "Mr Liang, your mother is indeed in the hotel. She's in room 5320 now. Should I get someone to inform her that you're downstairs?"
"There's no need." Liang Feifan stood up and reached out to extinguish the cigarette. He threw it into the ashtray and said calmly, "You can leave. You don't have to tell anyone about this."
To be able to become the manager of this kind of hotel, he was naturally a shrewd person. He naturally wouldn't say anything about this kind of thing and cause trouble for himself. He immediately nodded and promised, "Director Liang, I definitely won't say anything."
After leaving the reception room, Liang Feifan didn't go directly to room 5320. He took the elevator to B2. After finding his car, he got in. Just as he was about to start the engine, he unexpectedly saw a familiar figure taking the elevator up from the parking lot.
Liang Feifan instinctively pulled the handbrake, opened the car door, and strode after her. He stood at the elevator door and watched the red number jump one by one. It finally stopped at the fifth floor and stopped moving.
Liang Feifan's thick eyebrows furrowed tightly. He lowered his eyes and looked at the floor. He stood there for a long time without moving. He first saw his mother on the fifth floor. After asking the manager, he confirmed that the woman in room 5320 was indeed his mother. He did have his suspicions. It was impossible for his mother to come to a hotel like this alone. She even checked into a room. What was she doing?
However, this was a personal matter after all, so after confirming that person's identity, Liang Feifan didn't intend to pursue the matter.
But the person who just went up to the fifth floor … She, why was she here?
She and his mother … knew each other?
Liang Feifan pursed his thin lips. His face was gloomy as he turned back to his car. This time, he directly turned off the engine. Then he took out his phone and called the driver at home.
"… Yes, it's me. Where are you now? Is Mother outside? … Yes, it's nothing special. I didn't see her when I got home, so I'm calling you. Yes, okay. "
After hanging up, Liang Feifan threw the phone on the dashboard. He pulled out another cigarette, put it to his lips, and slowly took a puff. His sharp black eyes stared unblinkingly at the elevator exit. From the angle of his car, he could see all the people going in and out of the elevator.
Li Tanglin leaned over to take a look at the aromatherapy incense on the coffee table. It was probably used by the hotel. She had asked for the most high-end suite, but she didn't really like the smell.
She reached out to take off her purple fur coat and put it aside. She sat down elegantly. Not long after, she heard a knock on the door.
Naturally, she didn't take the initiative to open the door. Since they had already arranged to meet, the person at the door knocked three times before pushing the door open and entering.
"You're just in time." Li Tanglin pointed at the sofa in front of her. Her tone was still gentle as she looked at the woman standing at the entrance. "Come and sit."
Chin Jin-hee tightened her grip on her handbag. The two women's eyes met in the air. Neither had any intention of avoiding the other. She walked over and sat across from Li Tanglin. She took a deep breath and said, "Mrs. Liang, you asked to see me today …"
"Don't call me Mrs. Liang."
Li Tanglin suddenly spoke up and interrupted her. The corners of her lips curved up with a trace of bitterness. "All these years, countless people have called me Mrs. Liang. I thought I was already numb to it, but hearing you call me that now, I still feel … uncomfortable."
Chin Jin-hee glanced at her. She could sense that this woman didn't have any ill intentions towards her.
Actually, before she came, she already knew why Liang Doukou was looking for her today.
She originally thought that Liang Doukou would speak ill of her, but she was obviously being petty. Chin Jin-hee remained silent for a moment and said, "What do you want to say to me? Why don't you just say it directly?"
"You should know what I want to say to you." Li Tanglin sighed. She had been a rich lady for many years, so naturally, she couldn't be compared to a shrew. Even if she was unhappy, she wouldn't lose her standards in front of Chin Jin-hee. As she spoke, she said, "Some things have happened so many years ago, and I actually don't want to pursue them. But there are some things … I think I need to make it clear to you."
"Mrs. Liang … please speak."
"I know you're well aware of what happened to Bai Yi. Back then, I actually met him first and he fell in love with me first … But in the end, he married you and had a child … There's nothing to say. It was his own choice. Although it's been so many years, it's impossible for a woman to forget her first love. Madam Qin, I think you can understand how I feel. So, I came to see you today for one reason: I don't want your daughter to be with my son. "
Chin Jin-hee wasn't surprised at all. What else could Li Tanglin have come to see her for? It had to be about Bai Lu and Liang Feifan.
She paused for a moment and relaxed her posture. "I can understand your difficulties, but I can't support what you're saying. After all, the child's matter is their own business. They have their own world to live in. Even if you don't want your son to be with my daughter, I can't stop them from being together. I'm sure you understand this better than I do. "
Li Tanglin's expression changed. "… Don't tell me you're hoping that they'll be together?"
"I didn't have any expectations. They were able to be together. That was the path they chose themselves."
Qin Zhenxi looked at Li Tanglin. Li Tanglin's eyes were filled with unwillingness, but she insisted that she didn't care anymore. This was clearly a contradiction. She suppressed her desire to sigh and finally said, "I know that you just don't want to see us, mother and daughter. Because to you, our existence right now makes you very uncomfortable."
"Since you already know, I don't want to hide it from you."
