"It's nothing. I just wanted to give you a call."
Li Weixi heard her voice trembling. She didn't know if Lin Yi knew that she was being held hostage by Chu Mingshu, and she didn't know how to describe her fear to him. In the end, she only said this sentence.
Lin Yi responded faintly and seemed a little impatient. "If there's nothing else, I'll hang up first."
"Wait, that Chu Mingshu …"
"You can go to Berlin about her. That's all."
"No, I …"
"Beep … beep …"
The moment the call ended, Li Weixi's words were stuck in her throat. The anticipation in her eyes was gradually covered by sadness and a deep sense of loss.
Lin Yi's side was so quiet. There should be nothing wrong. Why did he ignore her?
She threw down the phone and stared blankly at the ceiling, as if she couldn't understand.
Aunt Lin knocked on the door and walked in. "Miss, the food is ready."
Li Weixi, who was not in the mood to eat, remembered that Aunt Lin had worked hard to prepare the food. She changed the topic. "Okay, I got it. I'll go down right away."
After eating, Li Weixi went to bed early. Although she had brought the design home, she was not in the mood to work on it.
The next morning, she left the house early without eating anything.
On the way, she met Huo Zhanbai, who was running in the morning.
When he saw the girl, a gentle smile appeared on Huo Zhanbai's face. He ran up to greet her. "You're so early. Are you busy?"
"No, I just wanted to go over early," Li Weixi said softly, looking a little absent-minded.
Huo Zhanbai stared at Li Weixi carefully for a moment. When he saw the layer of sadness in her eyes, his gaze couldn't help but deepen. He asked almost subconsciously, "Did something … happen to you?"
"Ah?" Li Weixi turned to look at him. "No, what's wrong?"
"Nothing, I'm just asking."
Huo Zhanbai saw that the girl's gaze flashed past her eyes to hide something, and he felt a little uncomfortable. After sending her to the roadside to take a taxi, he called Lu Luan.
"Young Master Lu, I heard that Lin Yi is on a business trip. Do you have any plans abroad?"
"No, what's wrong?" Lu Luan's tone sounded very leisurely. He didn't seem to be in a hurry at all.
"It's nothing. If you don't, then forget it. If you do, I can go abroad and play with you for a few days."
"Is that so? That's a pity," Lu Luan said with a smile. "What happened to you so early in the morning? Why do I feel like you're unhappy? "
"I saw Li Weixi," Huo Zhanbai said calmly. "Young Master Lu, you should be clear about what I got from working with you."
"Of course I understand." Lu Luan said playfully, "But you shouldn't have said that to me. I'm not the one fighting with you over her. I'm only in charge of working with you to get rid of Lin Yi."
Huo Zhanbai fell silent. He knew who Lu Luan was talking about.
Tom, the man who had the same goal as him.
Seeing that he didn't reply for a long time, Lu Luan said, "If there's nothing else, I'll hang up."
"Okay."
After the call ended, the noisy music squeezed into Huo Zhanbai's ears. His hand that was holding the phone tightened in an instant.
Li Weixi arrived at the company at 8: 30 am. There was still half an hour before the official start of work.
She looked around, but there was no one in the office.
Li Weixi walked to her seat and turned on the computer to flip through the documents. Her voice was exceptionally loud.
After hanging up the discussion group, she continued to draw the design plan from yesterday.
In the morning, she had already designed a rough prototype. After sending it to Sicily and Tom, she also left the office to go out for lunch.
But at the entrance of the building, she was stopped by a middle-aged couple with a good temperament.
The man's face was serious, and there was a hint of worry between his eyebrows. When he looked at Li Weixi, a trace of hatred flashed across his eyes, but his words were still calm and polite. "Miss Li Weixi, hello. We are Chu Mingshu's parents. We are here today to talk to you about Chu Mingshu."
"Hello." Li Weixi nodded politely. "I don't think there's any need to talk about this matter. It's already in the past, and I don't want to talk about it anymore."
"For Miss Li, it might be over, but for us, it's not." Mr. Chu said calmly. "She was arrested by the police yesterday. We went to find out what happened. With The Thirteenth Master around, she won't have a good time. She might even be sentenced. As her parents, we really can't bear to see her like this, so we came to see you. I hope you can understand."
He looked so calm that it was almost cold, so Li Weixi couldn't see the 'can't bear to see her like this' at all. On the other hand, the woman beside him looked anxious. Her concern for Chu Mingshu was not fake.
However, it was impossible for her to let Chu Mingshu off just like that.
Therefore, she replied with the same expression. "Since you are her father, you should know what she has done. She has done something wrong and has been punished. What's the use of looking for me?"
"We admit that her actions yesterday were indeed extreme, but there was a reason for it. That child did something wrong because she was too anxious about the situation at home. Before this, she might have offended you with her words, but she didn't really do anything to hurt you. We hope you can consider persuading the Thirteenth Master not to interfere in this matter."
Li Weixi couldn't help but find it funny when she heard this. "She might have offended you with her words."
This father was really eloquent, and he easily brushed aside the hurt Chu Mingshu had caused her.
It was Chu Mingshu's words that had hurt her the most. She still felt sad when she thought of those words.
At this moment, Li Weixi's attitude became tougher. "I'm sorry, I can't do anything about this matter. I can't persuade a big shot like the Thirteenth Master either. If you want to save your daughter, please find someone else."
Mrs. Chu held her hand anxiously and pleaded, "Little girl, I know you are still angry with Ah Shu. We don't know what to do either. Why don't you tell us what you want? As long as we can do it, we will do it for you, as long as you are willing to make the Thirteenth Master relent."
Li Weixi calmly withdrew her hand. She was indeed soft-hearted towards Chu Mingshu's mother, but she also didn't want to let go of Chu Mingshu just like that. She softly said, "I'm sorry." Then, Li Weixi turned around and left. She didn't want to listen to what the two of them had to say.
In the past, she was naive and kind to the point of stupidity. She always hoped that Lin Yi wouldn't go too far when it came to those who hurt her. However, she later realized that her soft-heartedness didn't make these people stop. Instead, it only made them worse.
