At night, Bull Ghost Street was not as noisy and crowded as other downtown areas. Instead, it was a little quiet with two or three pedestrians. Qiao Liansheng blocked Bai Xueyan, who was coming out of the tavern. The two of them walked side by side on Bull Ghost Street.
Qiao Liansheng didn't know what words to use to describe her current feelings. She still remembered the silly conversation at the flower shop entrance. At that time, her heart was filled with endless pursuits, just to jump and get the swan flying high beside her. At this moment, she was thinking about the scene of her chatting with Xiao Yeqing and guessing the thoughts behind her actions.
Thinking of this, Qiao Liansheng couldn't help but smile bitterly. From the silly confession back then to the current confrontation, no one could have predicted such a change. The phrase 'changes in the world' should be referring to him.
"Why did you go back?" Qiao Liansheng suddenly said calmly, her eyes looking straight ahead, her expression somewhat sorrowful.
Bai Xue Yan lightly smiled and lightly sighed," Everyone has their own destiny. They can't escape and can't hide. You also have your own destiny, that's why you came here, isn't it?”
"Yes, I am!" Qiao Liansheng looked up and exhaled." But I don't understand. The Bai family is a corporate giant and has a place in the upper echelons of the Nine Dragons Society. They also have the White Dragon Society and are the leaders of the lower echelons of the Nine Dragons Society. Why do they need to rope in Xiao Yeqing?”
Bai Xue Yan turned her head and looked at Qiao Lian Sheng, frowning slightly. She turned to look at the neon lights by the roadside and said lightly,"If the Bai family didn't think of making progress and just sit there and eat everything, they wouldn't have stood until today and still be so glorious. I would rather destroy Xiao Yeqing with my own hands than have an enemy like him.”
Qiao Lian's body and mind trembled. She stopped and turned to stare at the face that had once haunted her in her dreams. After a long time, she slowly said,""Even for me?"
"Haven't you forced me enough?" Bai Xueyan bitterly smiled and shook her head before slowly walking forward.
Qiao Lian Sheng was stunned, a look of joy appeared on her face as she followed. At least, he had a place in her heart and not an insignificant one. In other words, it was not wishful thinking that he had once jumped up and reached the height of this swan. However, that was only in the past.
The two of them came to the side of the bridge and sat down on a bench. They were naturally separated by two bodies, as if they were separated by a mountain. They could not see the scenery on the other side of the mountain.
"Half a year ago, you had a chance to get this ring without any effort.”Qiao Liansheng gently stroked the green ring on her left thumb and looked at the words " Jun Lin " engraved on it as she spoke softly.
"I know." Bai Xue Yan smiled bitterly and a trace of helplessness flashed in her beautiful eyes," At that time, this ring was not the symbol of the Nine Dragons Union's Dragon Lord but the symbol of the Qiao Family's daughter-in-law, right?”
Qiao Liansheng smiled and nodded." Yes, but you should have brought the ring back as a contribution, right?”
Bai Xueyan was silent for a long time. She turned her head and looked at Qiao Liansheng." If I told you that I didn't even know your name at the south of Liuliqiao, would you believe me?”
Qiao Liansheng's body trembled as he looked at her in astonishment. He then shook his head." There are too many people who want this ring. Even Jun Haoye is willing to trade the top star of a celebrity nightclub for it. Is the Bai family an exception?"”Even Zhang Scum Yong's class teacher, Ye Qingxuan, knew his identity and took the opportunity to get close to him. How could a woman from the Bai family get to know him without any purpose?
"Heh, no one will believe you.”Bai Xue Yan lightly laughed and turned her head away, plucking a willow leaf and playing with it in her palm.
"Isn't it clear that you're here to win over Xiao Yeqing?”Qiao Liansheng sneered, suddenly having the urge to provoke her with words.
"Qiao Liansheng, not every member of the Nine Dragons Union has the right to show their ambition. Those who don't have the right can only choose to join the union. If they make a mistake, they will decline for three years and even be removed from the Nine Dragons Union.”Bai Xue Yan's voice was very light and indifferent, as if she wasn't affected by Qiao Lian Sheng's laughter.
"What do you mean?" Qiao Liansheng was stunned and looked at her in confusion.
Bai Xue Yan looked at the thumb ring on his left hand and lightly said,"There aren't many people who are qualified to get your thumb ring, and no one is willing to stand out before you have enough overwhelming power. This isn't business. The first person to eat the crab will never get any benefits and will only become the target of everyone.”
Qiao Liansheng was stunned. He believed that during the days at the south of Liuliqiao, the woman in front of him who lingered in his dreams really treated him as an ordinary person and not an old enemy. If she had come for the ring at that time, then the Bai family was too ignorant.
"Jun Haoye was greedy with the help of Jun Hao Yan Sheng and paid the price of losing his younger brother.”Speaking up to here, Bai Xue Yan looked at Qiao Lian Sheng meaningfully and continued slowly,"Don't be so naive as to think that Jun Haoye doesn't know that you killed Jun Hao Yan Sheng.”
"What are you talking about?" Qiao Liansheng's expression flickered.
Bai Xueyan smiled faintly. She held the willow leaf and waved it gently under the bridge." After getting the ring, Jun Haoye felt the pressure from all sides. Although the ring is back in your hand, everyone has their eyes on Jun Hao's family. They don't dare to move anymore. He knew that you killed Jun Hao Yan Sheng, but he didn't dare to do anything to you. He could only grit his teeth and swallow it.”
Qiao Lian Sheng was silent. She had always thought that Jun Hao Ye didn't dare to do anything to her because of Xia Linfeng's existence. She didn't expect that it was because she was in the center of the whirlpool of power struggles that she was able to obtain safety. Her casual movements would affect the entire situation.
"You've already found Xiao Yeqing. We'll become enemies sooner or later. Can we avoid such fate?”Bai Xue Yan stared at the willow leaf that was slowly falling on the river surface and said faintly.
Qiao Lian Sheng's heart trembled and he gently stroked the green ring on his left thumb. After a long time, he raised his head and stared at Bai Xue Yan's delicate face," If you're not a member of the Bai family, I'm not the Qiao family's son.”
Bai Xueyan was silent. She watched the willow leaf drift and disappear on the river surface and slowly stood up." I am a member of the Bai family, and you are the son of the Qiao family. This is a fact that can never be changed.”
Looking at the figure that was gradually disappearing into the distance, Qiao Liansheng shook her head bitterly. She was delusional. He gathered his thoughts and walked towards the Pedestrian Tavern.
"Did the date fail?" Xu Shiyin, who had been occupying an empty table and eating with relish, saw Qiao Lian Sheng return with a bitter expression and gloated.
Qiao Liansheng nodded lightly. She picked up the liquor on the table and poured half a bowl. She drank it all in one gulp. Then, she glanced at Xiao Yeqing who was in the corner. After a moment of silence, she picked up the entire bottle of liquor and walked towards him.
"Hey, where are you going?" Seeing that Qiao Liansheng was about to leave again, Xu Shiyin was a little angry. He brought her here and went out with a woman for more than half an hour. He was really irresponsible.
"Sit here. I have something to do.”Qiao Liansheng said indifferently and walked straight to Xiao Yeqing's table. She gently placed a bottle of liquor on the table and sat down opposite him.
Qiao Lian Sheng's actions caused the tavern to instantly fall silent. Everyone's gazes were focused on him, with 30% hostility and 70% doubt. Xu Shiyin, who had wanted to scold Qiao Liansheng, saw that the scene was very strange and immediately shut her mouth. She didn't even dare to move. Her large eyes scanned everyone's faces, afraid that something would happen.
"What bargaining chips do you have?" Xiao Yeqing exhaled a breath of alcohol and glanced at the green ring on Qiao Liansheng's left thumb as she asked indifferently.
Qiao Liansheng smiled and shook her head. She picked up the bottle and poured some wine into Xiao Yeqing's bowl."What bargaining chips can a poor person have? The only thing he can offer is to share weal and woe together.”
"Haha, you're quite honest." Xiao Yeqing chuckled. This laugh immediately restored the atmosphere in the tavern to its original state.
When Xu Shiyin saw this scene, she heaved a huge sigh of relief. She secretly cursed Qiao Lian for always making people worry. She really wasn't a man! However, on second thought, people who had been in prison should be like this. That grandfather who had been in prison all this time was also a constant worry.
"I believe that Xiao Yeqing is not the kind of person who wants a false reputation.”Qiao Liansheng poured himself a full bowl of wine and raised it to Xiao Yeqing with a smile.
Xiao Yeqing shook her head and clinked the bowl with Qiao Liansheng. She drank half the bowl in one gulp and exhaled a breath of alcohol. She smiled noncommittally and said,"That's hard to say. The position of the White Dragon Society's leader can save people at least twenty years of hard work. I can do it as long as I nod my head. Why would I follow you and start from scratch?”
Qiao Liansheng poured wine into Xiao Yeqing's bowl and shook his head."" No matter how exquisite something is, there's no sense of accomplishment in reaping something without sowing. It's often said that what people yearn for the most is not the pride of overlooking the world after success, but the process of being filled with infinite passion.”
"Haha, Qiao Liansheng, oh Qiao Liansheng, you're making me a little moved.”Xiao Yeqing smiled as he took the initiative to lift the big bowl and clinked it with Qiao Liansheng's. He drank it all in one gulp and raised his head to exhale a mouthful of alcohol.
"I should move after being idle for a long time." Qiao Liansheng said with a smile. Looking at Xiao Yeqing's sword-like eyes, boundless pride surged in her heart.
"Alright, I'll accompany you!"
Xiao Yeqing twisted her neck and nodded her head. The two of them looked at each other and smiled…
