Zi Wen replied, "… Bai Lu? Is it really you? "
Lu replied, "Zi Wen, how are you? We haven't contacted each other in a long time. "
Zi Wen replied, "You disappeared for almost half a year. You even changed your phone number. I was so worried during that time. Later, I secretly asked Mr. Liang's assistant, Guan, and found out that you went to England. Are you in England now?"
Lu replied, "Yes, I'm in England. I'm taking classes at SGA. I still have more than a year to finish my studies."
Zi Wen replied, "I'm so envious. Will you stay in England after you graduate?"
Bai Lu's fingers moved. Just as he was about to type something, there were a few beeps from the other end. Another message popped up —
Zi Wen replied, "It's good that you don't come back. City A is going to change soon. When you come back, I'm sure it'll be awkward. After all, you had a relationship with Mr. Liang before. Now that he's getting married, when you come back, City A will be neither big nor small. I think that Ye Lian isn't someone to be trifled with. When the time comes, she'll probably make things difficult for you. I'm in favor of you staying in England."
…
Bai Lu's heart trembled. He frowned as he looked at the words on the screen. His fingers froze on the keyboard. For a moment, he couldn't react.
What did she mean?
What did Qin Ziwen mean by these words?
Perhaps she didn't rest well, so her mind was in a mess. Did her eyes also become … not so good? Otherwise, why did these words seem to overlap?
Bai Lu wiped his face and looked at the words carefully. Then, he moved his fingers and typed —
Lu replied, "… Are they getting married?"
Zi Wen replied, "You already know, right? Although you're in England, I think the news has already spread. Bai Lu, actually … I don't know how to comfort you. Are you okay? "
…
Bai Lu felt as if he had been struck by lightning. However, this feeling didn't seem to be too sudden. He had a vague feeling that something was going on between him and Ye Lian. Otherwise, why would she pick up his private phone? Why would there be such gossip? If Liang Feifan did not allow it, would Ye Lian be able to get close to him?
But … didn't he know that she was already married?
He didn't know … that he had a wife in England?
How could he … treat her like this?!
He had just told her that he would only have one wife in his life, and that her name was Bailu, but the next moment, he was holding another woman. So … when she was determined to leave City A, she had actually provided him with a great opportunity, hadn't she?
Then, if he wanted to register his marriage with Ye Lian at the Civil Affairs Bureau, wouldn't he have to remove Bai Lu from his list of legal spouses?
Was he going to divorce her?
…
He couldn't think about it anymore. He was alone in a foreign country, unable to sleep. Then, he heard such shocking news. It was as if someone had gouged out a corner of his heart. It was painful. She felt like an idiot, a complete and utter idiot.
Did Chu Weiye already know about Liang Feifan and Ye Lian? Was that why he came all the way to England to ask her such a question? She had actually made such a solemn vow in front of him, but who would have thought that her courage and persistence would actually be exchanged for him marrying another woman ….
No matter what the reason was, Bai Lu told herself that she couldn't accept it.
She was able to be magnanimous and empathize with his difficulties. She could let time settle what happened 20 years ago, and she felt that she had settled down enough. Slowly, she learned to let go of her heart and work hard to get close to him. She could also selfishly let her mother suffer, but she still wanted to stand by his side …
She had never thought of herself as brave, but she felt that at least she was walking down the path of loving Liang Feifan. She didn't have the slightest bit of feelings for him.
All the feelings that he could give her, she returned all of them back to him. Although love was not built on an equal relationship, could it be that love was fickleness?
…
The phone in the bedroom rang. She turned a deaf ear to it and squatted on the white carpet. She hugged her knees with both hands and buried her head between them. The tears that she tried to hold back completely blurred her vision …
Liang Feifan, Liang Feifan … What kind of explanation can you give me?
No. What's the point of giving me an explanation?
I love you so stubbornly and without hesitation. But you let go of my hand. No matter what the reason is, no matter what kind of perfect explanation you give, how can I accept it?
…
City A, early morning.
They were in a private room on the second floor of a rather secluded private club.
The two men sat across from each other.
Ye Zijie looked at Chu Weiye, who was sitting across from him and smoking. He put on a disgusting hypocritical smile and took the initiative to speak. "CEO Chu, we've met before. I never thought that there would be a day when we would have the opportunity to work together. CEO Chu, do you have any thoughts on the suggestion I just made? "
"Thoughts?"
Chu Weiye raised his eyebrows. His eyes were slightly narrowed from the smoke. His handsome face was hidden under the smoke and it was similarly dark and unclear. "CEO Ye, if you were me, what do you think you would think under these circumstances?"
Ye Zijie froze for a moment and frowned slightly. It was said that this Chu Weiye in the business world was a smiling tiger. It was already difficult enough for him to deal with Liang Feifan. Now, he had to add Chu Weiye to the mix. If it wasn't for the fact that he had no other choice, Ye Zijie felt that he really didn't want to have anything to do with Chu Weiye.
"Heh, CEO Chu, if you have something to say, let's get straight to the point. You've seen this project. It's definitely profitable. I know that you also need a good project at the moment to stimulate the higher-ups in Far East. We can be considered to be … mutually beneficial."
Chu Weiye nodded. "CEO Ye's words make sense. I can consider it."
Ye Zijie froze for a moment again. The smile on Chu Weiye's face became even wider. "CEO Ye probably doesn't know, right? You gave me 5%, but Liang Feifan also approached me and gave me 10%. Say, if I were to side with him at this time, I'm afraid CEO Ye would be in trouble. "
Ye Zijie: "…"
He looked at Chu Weiye's shrewd gaze with a hint of scrutiny.
What kind of person was Ye Zijie? He was a wily old fox. Of course, he knew that before Chu Weiye came to see him, Liang Feifan had already approached him. He didn't expect him to take the initiative to mention it and even ask for more profits. Ye Zijie was actually relieved. His greed was a good thing. If Chu Weiye had a grudge with him, then the grudge between him and Liang Feifan was even greater.
This was even better. Any problem that could be solved with money wouldn't be a problem at all.
From Chu Weiye's point of view, he really stood on the word 'money'.
Ye Zijie calculated his wishful thinking and felt relieved. It was just money, and he was willing to give it. "CEO Chu, since you've said so, I can't let you down. I'm being sincere. Since Feifan gave you 10%, I'll give you 15%. How about that? I'm already being very generous and I only have one goal in mind. CEO Chu, you should know very well that suppressing Liang Feifan won't be a bad thing for you. "
Chu Weiye twirled the cigarette in his hand and looked down at his fingertips. His voice carried a hint of nonchalance. "CEO Ye, since you're being so sincere, I naturally won't let you down."
…
Upon hearing this, Ye Zijie's face instantly lit up with a sincere smile. He nodded and lit a cigarette for himself. After taking two puffs, he felt that this cigarette was more flavorful than any he had smoked in the past.
Liang Feifan knew that if he were to make a trip to England, it would be too easy for the Family Ye's people to find out about him. However, he couldn't just not go.
For the entire night, his temples throbbed in pain. He made countless calls, but no one picked up. He had already vaguely sensed something, but he couldn't be sure. The only way was to make a trip to England.
After taking a few flights, it was already the afternoon of the next day when he arrived in England. This country was slightly humid and it was even drizzling today. Someone drove over to pick him up and respectfully held an umbrella for him. Liang Feifan looked at the time and knew that Bai Lu's classes had already ended. He should be at home.
Halfway there, he received a call from Buck.
"I'm in England … Uh, over at your place? Uh huh, I'll come over. "
After hanging up, he asked the driver to change directions and head straight to Buck's place. It was about a 30-minute journey. When he got out of the car, the rain was getting heavier. The driver hurried over to hold an umbrella for him. Liang Feifan took the umbrella from his hands and instructed him, "Wait for me in the car."
Buck liked to stay in the house he designed wherever he went. Liang Feifan had spent an exorbitant amount of money to buy this piece of land for him. As for the building in front of him, Buck had personally designed it. It had taken him about three months to complete it. He had also spent a lot of money to hire the craftsmen and hire them to rush through the night to complete it.
Buck didn't like to have too many servants at his place, so Liang Feifan didn't stop him from entering. When he entered the living room, he realized that the woman he had been longing for was sitting on the sofa in the living room with her head lowered. He didn't know what she was thinking about. Buck wasn't around. There were two cups of coffee on the coffee table. He must have just left.
Liang Feifan placed the umbrella at the door. He removed his suit jacket and strode over.
Bai Lu pressed her hands against her temples. When she heard footsteps behind her, she thought that Buck had returned. Her voice was slightly hoarse as she said, "… Buck, if you want to help me, I'll go back now. Tell him …"
"Tell him what?"
A deep male voice was heard from the back of her neck. Bai Lu's hand that was pressing against her temples paused. She couldn't believe it. After a moment, she turned around and saw a tall man standing behind her. He was frowning and looking down at her condescendingly.
