As soon as Ma Yingjie's words fell, Mei Jie and Xiangxiang were obviously relieved. They looked at each other and smiled, saying in unison, "Go, go quickly."
Ma Yingjie shook his head in his heart as he walked out of the restaurant. Alas, he found that he was getting better at acting and telling lies. Lies came out of his mouth as if they were true. His lies just now must have been very straightforward. Didn't Mei Jie and Xiangxiang fall for his lies? From their relaxed expressions, he was sure that they absolutely believed that the call was from their lover.
Ma Yingjie couldn't help but smile bitterly. Lover, was Situ Lan one?
Ma Yingjie walked to a secluded place and was about to answer the call, but the phone was hung up. Ma Yingjie hesitated for a moment. Just as he was thinking about whether he should call the number or not, he felt someone walk past him. Before he could turn his head to look, he felt a heavy pat on his back.
Ma Yingjie was very angry. He thought to himself, "Will I meet an acquaintance in Sanya? Who could it be? " When he turned his head and was about to lose his temper, he was stunned, and the expression on his face seemed to be frozen.
Behind Ma Yingjie stood Situ Lan!
"Why are you here?" Ma Yingjie didn't know how long it had been. It seemed as long as a century before he remembered to ask this question.
However, Situ Lan had a strange smile on her face. She stared at Ma Yingjie and didn't say anything.
"Why are you here?" Ma Yingjie was a little angry, and his voice changed from surprise to questioning.
"Damn, why can't I be here? Is this owned by your family? Or was it bought by your family? Even if it's all yours, I'm qualified to come since you're running it. " Situ Lan was unhappy. She had spent a great deal of effort to find out that Ma Yingjie was in Sanya. Could it be that she just wanted to give him a surprise? How could she have known that this brat Ma Yingjie didn't seem to welcome her, and he wasn't even the least bit surprised by her arrival. This made Situ Lan have a feeling of being snubbed. How could a young miss like her endure such a feeling? Naturally, his face showed dissatisfaction and anger. When this expression fell into Ma Yingjie's eyes, he was immediately startled. Only then did he realize that he had no right to lose his temper and throw a tantrum in front of Situ Lan.
Ma Yingjie quickly put on a smiling face and called out ambiguously, "Jiejie." This kind of "jiejie" was full of emotion. In Situ Lan's ears, it was like the sea breeze in Sanya, extremely comfortable and cool.
"Humph, that's more like it." Situ Lan's anger turned into laughter.
Ma Yingjie groaned inwardly. Why did this young lady come here? Wasn't she going to kill him? How could he explain it to Meijie and Xiangxiang? If they saw him standing so close to Situ Lan, what would the consequences be? Ma Yingjie didn't dare to think about it, but he unconsciously distanced himself from Situ Lan.
This small action of Ma Yingjie still didn't escape Situ Lan's eyes. She couldn't help but snort coldly again. The more she behaved like this, the more nervous Ma Yingjie became. He hurriedly said, "Sister, Meijie and Xiangxiang are in the restaurant. If they see me, I'll be dead. Moreover, Xiangxiang ran away with the money. Meijie and I didn't come to invite business, but to catch Xiangxiang. It took me a lot of effort to appease these two women. You, how can I explain it? "Ma Yingjie had to tell the truth.
"You deserve it! Who told you to lie to me? If you had told the truth on the phone, I wouldn't have taken so much trouble to fly to Sanya. In order to chase you, I had to catch a plane and change cars. Do you think it's easy for me? "Situ Lan seemed to think that she had all the reasons and blamed Ma Yingjie for lying to her.
"At that time, Meijie was in the car. What else could I say? Besides saying that I invited business with her, what else could I say? You taught me to be more careful in the officialdom and not expose myself easily. I've always remembered the knowledge you taught me. Have you forgotten? "Ma Yingjie looked at Situ Lan's face and said these words shamelessly.
Sure enough, Situ Lan had nothing to say. She silently turned her face to look at the sea not far away. The sound of the waves was particularly fierce at this time. It was crashing and surging, as if it was about to rush to their feet.
"I just want to listen to the sound of the waves with you. I want to spend one night with you by the sea. Just one night. You and I will turn everything into an old love. Do you understand? "When Situ Lan said this, her voice sounded very sad.
Ma Yingjie was stunned for a moment and couldn't help asking Situ Lan, "What happened?"
"Whatever happened is not your concern, and it's not something you can worry about." Situ Lan didn't look at Ma Yingjie, but her voice revealed infinite exhaustion.
"What happened?" Ma Yingjie asked himself in his heart. "Something must have happened." Situ Lan was such an optimistic person. How could she have this kind of voice? However, Situ Lan didn't say it. Ma Yingjie knew that it was unnecessary for him to ask. Besides, he had left the restaurant for a while, and it was time for him to go back.
"Sister, I'll go in and finish the meal with Meijie. After I find a reason to leave them, I'll accompany you to listen to the waves, okay?" Ma Yingjie tried to make his voice full of emotion. Maybe in this way, he could comfort Situ Lan. Besides, Situ Lan must have something to do. This was not like Situ Lan's usual style. If it was in normal times, she would definitely tell Ma Yingjie bluntly, "Accompany me at night." No matter whether Ma Yingjie had a reason or not, or whether he could come or not, her words were orders. But now, she was by his side, but she didn't use a commanding voice. Instead, she seemed to be very sad and nostalgic. The more it was like this, the more worried Ma Yingjie was and the more uneasy he was.
"Go ahead. I'll wait for you at the beach." After saying that, Situ Lan went straight to the beach without waiting for Ma Yingjie's reply.
Situ Lan was wearing a long dress. Under the hazy moonlight by the sea, her figure seemed so ethereal and aloof at the same time. It made Ma Yingjie feel a sense of tenderness for the fairer sex. He really wanted to rush over, hug her, and accompany her step by step to the beach.
Ma Yingjie held back. His reason told him that he had to go back to the restaurant. He had to find a reason to leave Meijie and Xiangxiang. He was not worried that they would run away. Because Wu Haikun had found the money that Xiangxiang had deposited in Wu Du's bank, and this money had been frozen by Wu Haikun. Of course, in the process, Ma Yingjie still helped. While he reported to Luo Tianyun, he also told his boss about Wu Haikun's request. With his boss's help, it would be easy for the bank to freeze a sum of money. However, Ma Yingjie didn't let Mei Jie and Xiangxiang know when he was doing this series of small actions. He found an excuse to go to the bathroom to finish this small action. Although he looked down on himself for being like this, he still had to be wary of others. Besides, it was such a large sum of money. If the two women changed their minds and ran away after withdrawing the money, he couldn't afford to bear the responsibility. Therefore, on the one hand, he showed his trust in Meijie and Xiangxiang, but on the other hand, he used all his actions of distrust. On the one hand, he relaxed in front of the sea, but on the other hand, he looked down on himself in front of the sea.
People, especially as a person in the officialdom, made Ma Yingjie feel very conflicted. Moreover, he also found out from Meijie and Xiangxiang that after being marked by the officialdom, they wouldn't be able to get rid of it for a while. Every time the two women heard his phone ring, their expressions told Ma Yingjie how deep, heavy, and painful the mark of the officialdom was.
Ma Yingjie had to walk to the dining room. He couldn't contain Situ Lan's sadness, nor could he contain Situ Lan's love. No matter which emotion it was, for Ma Yingjie, he didn't dare to accept it. Just like in front of Luan Xiaoxue, no matter how much care and love he had for Luan Xiaoxue, he could only show respect in front of her. It was the kind of respect and alienation for a leader's woman. These two feelings were the gap that he and Luan Xiaoxue couldn't cross. It was like the Milky Way, separating him and Luan Xiaoxue very far. Even though they were close at hand, his heart seemed to be far away.
Now, Ma Ying Jie had arrived at the edge of the world, which was rumored to be at the edge of the horizon. But the person who chased after him was Situ Lan. Facing this woman's complicated feelings, Ma Yingjie really couldn't find words to describe them at this moment.
As soon as Ma Yingjie returned to the dining room, Meijie asked with concern, "Ma Yingjie, what's wrong? Why did you call for so long? "
Yes, how could a phone call take so long? For a moment, Ma Yingjie didn't know how to answer, but his brain was working fast. He had to find a reason to explain his behavior. Because the two women were like frightened birds. Instead of worrying about Ma Yingjie's phone call, they would be more worried about their safety. They were paying attention to Ma Yingjie's words and deeds. They were still afraid. Of course, they had no reason not to be afraid. Their fates were in the hands of others, and until the dust settled, they would not be safe. They said that they wouldn't be held responsible, but when they really returned to Wu Du, they didn't know what would happen to them. Therefore, observing Ma Yingjie had become an important source of information for them.
Ma Yingjie had already understood Meijie and Xiangxiang's current mentality. The more he understood this, the more he felt a heavy and sour feeling towards them and himself.
Yes, once a person stepped into Jianghu, his life and death were not in his hands.
Ma Yingjie's brain was working fast. He wanted to find a reason to appease Meijie and Xiangxiang, and also to hint to them not to have any thoughts or plans to escape.
When Ma Yingjie thought about this, his eyes fell directly on Meijie's face. His eyes looked so indifferent and reliable. This was the gaze that Ma Yingjie had just made. He had to do this. Whether he wanted to or not, no matter how crazy he played with them on the beach, when he returned to reality, he was still a person in the officialdom. He was still a force that they were relying on and believing in.
"Mei Jie," Ma Yingjie said calmly.
