Fang Zhitong seemed to have a telepathic connection with Li Ruixin as she asked the question in his heart, "How did you know about this matter?"
Li Zheng smiled and said, "Of course it wasn't your fiancé who told me. He wished that no one in the world would know about this kind of scandal, but since he did this kind of ungrateful and wicked thing, it must have been known by others. Lin Wenjing was called off by him and was puzzled. She called him many times, but was rejected. Lin Wenjing was indignant and went to his house to ask for an explanation, but she couldn't get an answer. For two years, Lin Wenjing was tormented by this matter until a month ago when Peng Shaolong came back to prepare for the engagement. One night, I invited him to a bar for a drink. Coincidentally, we bumped into Lin Wenjing and her best friend. Lin Wenjing grabbed Peng Shaolong on the spot and cursed him. Peng Shaolong was afraid that he would lose face in front of me, so he begged Lin Wenjing to go out and talk. I was very curious, so I asked my attendant to go out and inquire. After the two of them finished talking, I asked Lin Wenjing and said that I could help her get justice. Lin Wenjing was angry, so she told the whole thing to my attendant. When my attendant came back and told me, I knew Peng Shaolong's true colors. Before he got engaged with Lin Wenjing, he had already slept with her for four years. He also promised to marry her and treat her well for the rest of her life. But when he found out that you were more valuable, he decisively dumped her! It was the modern version of Chen Shimei! "
Fang Zhitong was stunned for a moment and asked with a suspicious tone, "You aren't lying to me, are you?"
Li Zheng coldly sneered, "If I could make up such a wonderful story, I would have already submitted it to the . Maybe I would have become a billionaire because of it. Do you know what the most wonderful part of this matter is? "
"What?"
"Peng Shaolong slept with Lin Wenjing for four years in vain. He even took her virginity. When he got engaged, he only bought her a platinum ring. Lin Wenjing didn't dislike it because she loved Peng Shaolong's talent. But when it came to you, Peng Shaolong might not have lived with you yet, but he was willing to take out several years of savings to buy you a five-carat diamond ring. Do you know why? Does he really love you? No, no, no, that was definitely not the case. The real reason was that he knew that the investment of this five-carat diamond ring would bring back hundreds and thousands of times the profit after the investment was successful! It's the same as using the five-carat diamond ring on your hand to capture you, as well as the huge fortune of nearly two hundred million behind you! "
Fang Zhitong was completely dumbfounded. After listening, she didn't say a word.
Li Zheng faintly said, "Dear Zhitong, I'll tell you this much first. After a while, you can confront Peng Shaolong. But don't betray me. If he asks you how you know about Lin Wenjing, just find an excuse. Anyway, don't betray me. I'm doing this for your own good. I don't want you to be deceived by him. I'll take my leave first. I hope you have a good dream tonight, hehe! "
Li Rui, who was standing at the door, knew that their conversation was over. He quickly turned around and ran outside.
Tens of seconds later, when Li Rui returned to the dining table, he saw Li Zheng walk out of the small door. He calmly looked around. Seeing that no one had noticed him, he walked to the outer hall with a smile on his face. Li Ruixin thought that Fang Zhitong should be the only one left in that room. It was a good opportunity for him to go over and meet her.
At this moment, Mu Shuang was still chatting with the female guest. Li Rui simply didn't greet her and got up to run to the small door.
Li Rui returned to the corridor with ease and walked to the door of Fang Zhitong's room. He raised his hand, wanting to knock on the door, but hesitated. In the end, he simply grabbed the door handle and twisted it, pushing the door open and walking in.
Behind the door was a room that looked like a hotel guest room. After entering, there was a narrow corridor that was less than two meters long. Beside it was the washroom, and further in was the bedroom. There was a table, a chair, a bed, and a stool in the bedroom. Fang Zhitong was standing by the table near the wall, staring blankly at the blanket on the bed. She didn't notice Li Rui suddenly entering the room. It was only when Li Rui walked in front of her that she snapped out of her daze and turned to look.
The two of them looked at each other with different expressions. Li Rui had already recognized Fang Zhitong, so he wasn't surprised or shocked to see her now. There was only the joy of meeting an old friend on his face. Fang Zhitong didn't expect to meet him here. After recognizing him, she was shocked. Her eyes widened, her mouth opened, and her face was filled with disbelief as if she had seen a ghost.
"It's me, Xiao Fang!" Li Rui knew what she was thinking and spoke up to help her identify him.
Fang Zhitong confirmed his identity through his voice. Her expression suddenly became happy and sad as her eyes turned red. Her beautiful eyes sparkled as she suddenly stepped forward to hold his arms. Her voice trembled as she said, "It's really you?!"
Li Rui saw her intimate actions and sighed in his heart. All of his resentment towards her disappeared at this moment. He said softly: "I came to Guangzhou to attract investment and met a local friend. She brought me to this banquet, but I didn't expect that the female lead would be you. It wasn't convenient for me to recognize you when we were outside, so I only ran over to secretly meet you now. You even … "
He didn't even finish speaking when Fang Zhitong couldn't help but cry. Her face was filled with shame and she lowered her head as if she had done something wrong to him.
"What's wrong with you?"
It would have been better if Li Rui didn't ask this. As soon as he asked, Fang Zhitong started to cry. She threw herself into his arms and hugged him as she cried. Li Rui was very surprised. He composed himself and gently patted her back and asked: "What's wrong?"
Fang Zhitong sobbed: "I … I'm sorry to you!"
"How are you sorry to me?"
Fang Zhitong said: "Ever since I left Green Sun City, I haven't contacted you …"
Li Ruixin secretly said: "At least you still have a conscience!" But he said: "So what? There aren't friends for life. You can go to a wider place and meet more and better friends. "
Fang Zhitong carelessly shook her head as she cried, "Who said we don't have lifelong friends? We will be lifelong friends. I have never forgotten you, really, I always think of you …" She paused for a moment before continuing, "The reason why I didn't contact you was because I wanted to make a name for myself first. I wanted you to see a different me from the past, a new me. Only then would I have the face to see you and not be laughed at by you …"
Li Rui didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He walked two steps and took a tissue from the table. He turned her little head and wiped her tears: "How old are you? You're still crying. Don't cry … When have I laughed at you? Why would you think that? Do I laugh at you often? "
Fang Zhitong's eyes were hazy with tears. She looked at him embarrassedly and said: "You haven't laughed at me. But I just want … I want to be successful. If I see you again, I'm afraid … afraid that I'm not worthy of being your friend."
Li Rui sighed: "Silly girl, when did you become so self-abased? You're nothing and I treat you as a friend. You're the daughter of the great painter Fang Boyan and I still treat you as a friend. But your little head just loves to let your imagination run wild. "
Fang Zhitong stubbornly said: "I'm not letting my imagination run wild. I used to be unworthy of your status. You're the director of the Municipal Party Committee and I'm just a small member of the Municipal Archeological Team. How could I be worthy of being your friend?"
Li Rui didn't know whether to be angry or laugh: "Don't say that again. If you say it again I'll get angry. If I get angry I'll hit you …" He suddenly stopped and took a few more tissues. He carefully wiped her tears and said: "Tell me about your experiences in the past few years."
Fang Zhitong nodded and stood up straight. She faintly told her story to him. Back then she followed her father Fang Boyan's eldest disciple, Lu Linshen, who was the man who went to Qingyang City with the lawyer to pick her up. After leaving Qingyang City and rushing to Beijing, they first settled the inheritance matters and inherited less than two hundred million from Fang Boyan. This didn't include Fang Boyan's villa and three houses in Beijing. After the inheritance, Lu Linshen suggested that Fang Zhitong give up her job in the Qingyang City archeology team and stay in Beijing to study Chinese painting. She wanted to spread Fang Boyan's artistic attainments, and he was willing to impart his skills to her.
Fang Zhitong was persuaded by him and stayed in Beijing. Lu Linshen was an associate professor of Chinese Painting at the Central Academy of Fine Arts and Fang Boyan was one of the vice-principals of the Academy of Fine Arts. Because of these two relationships, Lu Linshen easily 'accepted' Fang Zhitong into the academy and taught her Chinese painting techniques. Fang Zhitong was intelligent and had a calm temperament. Coupled with her natural scholarly temperament, she had the talent to learn Chinese painting that ordinary people didn't have. Lu Linshen quickly discovered that no matter what he taught her, she would be able to quickly learn it. Furthermore, she was able to draw inferences and draw parallels. The spiritual aura displayed in her work was even more impressive.
Painting wasn't like building a road or a bridge. It needed to follow the rules and follow the established procedures. Painting completely relied on talent and spiritual aura. If you don't have talent, you won't be able to draw a decent piece of art even after ten or fifty years of learning. If you don't have spiritual energy, then your work will fade into the crowd and won't be recognized by your peers and the market. Fang Zhitong was one of the rare painters who had both talent and spiritual aura. Of course, this might have something to do with the fact that she was Fang Boyan's daughter. After all, they were blood-related and could more or less inherit some of Fang Boyan's talent.
