As the party was coming to an end, someone suggested that they sing karaoke.
Xiao Haoran hated places like KTV the most. Although he had a good singing voice, he had always rejected them. Ye Wei, the mother, brought Ye Diandian back to rest.
After a busy day, not only was Ye Diandian sleepy, but Ye Wei was also exhausted. After helping Diandian wash up and tidying up, it was almost 24 o'clock. Soon, she fell asleep.
In the most prosperous city center of City H, Xiao Haoran stood on the top floor of a skyscraper, overlooking the night view of the entire city.
Suddenly, that woman's face flashed in his mind, and he could not get it out of his head.
"Heh, what a torturous little vixen!”
He took off his suit and threw it on the black leather sofa. A metallic object fell on the Arabian wool carpet.
Xiao Haoran bent down to pick it up and skillfully opened the pocket watch. There was a small photo sticker lying quietly inside.
One was a young woman with clean and refreshing features, and the other was a cute and beautiful little girl with baby fat.
In this era, there were still people who would use such antiques? However, this should be the latest retro series from Rolex. This stupid woman still has some taste!
Golden eyes, round and big eyes, long black hair…
This little girl's charm was familiar, but he couldn't remember who she looked like.
Xiao Haoran didn't think too much about it and casually placed the pocket watch in the drawer before entering the bathroom.
If he had done more research, perhaps their encounter would not have dragged on for so long.
“boss。”Feng called.
"Speak!" It was the same dry dialogue, but it was a different mood. Xiao Haoran felt like he was bathed in a spring breeze recently.
"Someone saw Master near the Caribbean.”
"Is the information accurate?"
"Absolutely."
"Alright, continue investigating. Also, get Ghost Fire to quickly empty Y's pockets, or else someone else will take advantage of him.”
"Yes, sir!"
The Caribbean? Why was Master there?
Gentle Island was in the South China Sea, separated from the Caribbean Sea by the entire Pacific Ocean! Why was his master there? He really couldn't figure it out.
When Shen Nianchen, the son of his aunt's nephew, Yao Chen, was kidnapped by Shen Danni, Xiao Haoran had already guessed the cooperation between Qi Qing and the United States. He had been secretly observing them for years to find their weakness and deal them a heavy blow.
Unfortunately, Qi Qing and Nimble Snake were too cunning. Moreover, Ling Xiao had a powerful character by his side.
Every time he attacked Nimble Snake, he would always escape easily, as if he was familiar with their battle plan.
Rain's whereabouts and life and death had always been a thorn in Xiao Haoran's and all the members 'hearts.
It had been four years, and no one knew if he was dead or alive. If he was alive, he would live. If he was dead, he would not drag out an ignoble existence.
If his memories were not erased and he was not imprisoned, Xiao Haoran believed that he would find a way to return to their side.
Xiong Lin didn't expect to see the travel-worn Gu Qingcheng at the KTV.
He was much thinner than before. His eyes were sunken, his hair was slightly long and messy, and he looked dispirited.
He could actually do this for that woman. She chuckled.
Gu Qingcheng had arrived yesterday afternoon. She had planned to come back without An Jing knowing, so that she could attend her best friend Zheng Feifan's wedding. Who knew that An Jing would somehow find out about everything. She would make a big fuss and refuse to let him return to the country. She even threatened him with death.
Fortunately, An Yichen was there. Otherwise, he wouldn't be in City H now. Perhaps, with An Jing around, he would never return to the country.
Everyone knew that Xiong Lin and Gu Qingcheng had a history. But for some reason, after An Jing appeared, she left and never had any contact with Gu Qingcheng again.
Gu Qingcheng's eyes were fixed on the woman who refused to look up at her. This was the person who had been and still was a thorn in her side.
All these years, Xiong Lin had never been in a true relationship. All her feelings and reconciliation had been given to this man, but this man had chosen his old love.
Love was to fulfill his wish. She loved him enough to fulfill his relationship with another woman. As long as he was happy, she would lick her bloody wounds and be lonely for the rest of her life.
However, why did she have to return to China? Did she not know that she would have difficulty breathing and cry when she saw the person she had been thinking about day and night?
She had noticed him from the moment he entered. She would never forget his figure.
She lowered her head as fast as she could, not wanting him to see her. She tried her best to reduce her presence. She did not want him to see the woman who was still crying silently because of him.
She, Xiong Lin, thought highly of herself. She had always been playing around with relationships. It was fine as long as she was happy. He hadn't expected to fall so hard on Gu Qingcheng that his head would bleed. He had even dug a trap for himself and stabbed a knife into his heart, leaving a wound that would never heal.
Xiong Lin refused to look at Gu Qingcheng, and Gu Qingcheng stared at her stubbornly, not saying or doing anything. It was as if she was going to stare a hole in her body.
Gu Qingcheng's stubbornness made it seem as if Xiong Lin wouldn't stop until she looked at him.
The lights in the KTV were very dim. No one knew that Xiong Lin's hands and skirt were covered in tears.
Ever since Gu Qingcheng's arrival, the entire room had been in a high-pressure environment. The excitement of the party had been extinguished in an instant.
Xiong Lin couldn't help but grab her bag and run out of the door.
If you don't leave, I'll leave too!
Xiong Lin ran to the washroom desperately. She knew who was chasing after her, and she didn't want to see him now.
It had been almost four years, and she still cared about him, but he was carrying another woman around the United States.
Looking at the extremely ugly woman in the mirror, her makeup was smudged, and tears covered her small face. No one could bear to see her so pitiful.
She waited outside for half an hour, but there was still no movement inside. Gu Qingcheng grew anxious and ran back to the room to ask Zhu Zhaoxin and the others for help.
Zhu Zhaoxin and Tian Kexin were extremely dissatisfied with him. How could they help him now?
"My dear wife, aren't you being a little too ruthless?”
"Do you think she's cruel to her husband or her husband's brother? If you can't stand it, I won't stop you. You can sleep with him tonight.”
Zhu Zhaoxin's words implied that he was giving him face by being ruthless to him. Otherwise, when he became the director at night in the future, don't even think about climbing into his bed.
"No, no, no. I think this brat deserves it.”
In Ren Chao's eyes, not being able to hug a beauty to sleep at night was like forbidding him from eating meat for a year. That was a long and endless night!
Therefore, the helpless guy squatted at the door of the women's bathroom.
It had been almost half an hour, and Gu Qingcheng finally couldn't wait any longer. She rushed into the bathroom.
"Ah! Selang, help!"
The screams in the bathroom were deafening, and Gu Qingcheng's eyes were red and swollen from the pepper spray.
Xiong Lin had left a long time ago. She had sent a text message to Zhu Zhaoxin, so Zhu Zhaoxin and the others looked at Gu Qingcheng with peace of mind and didn't say a word.
For Xiong Lin's sincerity and feelings, giving this kid a little punishment was already too light.
It just so happened that Gu Qingcheng had run into H Shi's daughter in the women's washroom. If it weren't for Yao Chen and Zheng Feifan, he would have been arrested long ago.
Because of Xiong Lin's departure and Gu Qingcheng's trouble, the whole night was wasted. The brothers were drinking with Gu Qingcheng to drown their sorrows.
Not long after, his wife called to rush him. In the end, only the bachelor Ling Xiao stayed by Gu Qingcheng's side.
The phone on the bar counter had already rung more than ten times, but the caller had always been silent.
Gu Qingcheng began to doubt his decision. There was no such thing as a savior in this world, so why did he try so hard to play such a role?
Slowly, he realized that silence was not what he wanted, and at this time, he had already lost Xiong Lin. He had rushed back tonight. On the surface, he was attending Zheng Feifan's engagement ceremony, but in reality, he could not lie to himself. He missed Xiong Lin. He wanted to see her.
Four years ago, when An Jing found out that he was with Xiong Lin, she, as his past ex-girlfriend, tried to stop him.
He either swallowed sleeping pills or slit his wrists. There was even one time when he almost jumped off a building.
His fear at that time made him mistakenly think that he loved silence and that he was afraid of losing her. Now that he thought about it, he just didn't want An Jing to die because of him. He didn't want to owe her a debt of conscience that he couldn't repay.
And now, he owed Xiong Lin a lot, a lot, such as a blissful promise.
This time, he had cruelly gotten rid of An Jing because he wanted to make a decision for himself. He wanted to give himself a quick death and give Xiong Lin peace of mind.
ding ~
A message came.
Gu Qingcheng, why didn't you answer my call? Are you with that woman? What did you promise me back then? Didn't you say that you would never return to the country and never contact her? Did you go back to attend the engagement ceremony just to see her? How could you lie to me? What was so good about that b * tch? If you still don't answer my call, I'll die in front of you and make you unable to escape for the rest of your life. As long as I'm quiet, it's impossible for you to be together. Even if you are together, I have a hundred ways to torture you...
Gu Qingcheng threw the phone away in frustration, cutting off Gu Man's calls as well.
He had rushed back to the country without even informing Gu Man. His sister had wasted her life for her, and now, was he going to waste his life too?
No, he couldn't. Only he could give Xiong Lin happiness. No one else could.
"Gu Qingcheng, calm down.”
Ling Xiao and Gu Qingcheng had grown up together. His mother, Qian Han, and Gu Qingcheng's sister, Gu Man, were good friends, so they had talked about everything since they were young.
"Have you ever been in love? Ling Xiao." Gu Qingcheng looked at Ling Xiao dejectedly with tears in her eyes.
Ling Xiao was silent. He really didn't. He couldn't even figure out his feelings for Ye Wei.
"You definitely haven't been in love with anyone, right?”Gu Qingcheng chuckled coldly.
"Although I haven't loved anyone passionately, as a bystander, I can see it more clearly than you. Xiong Lin loves you. While you've been numbing yourself for the past four years, Xiong Lin has also dug her own grave. She has been single for four years, rejecting everyone's care and the fanaticism of her pursuers. She traveled around the world alone. She thought that this would at least lessen her longing for you, but..."
"But did you know? It was a cruel fact for a woman to wait for four years of her youth without any result. How many more years did a woman have if she wasted her most precious four years? The bitterness in her heart was already overflowing when you broke up with her and left her for the United States!”
Gu Qingcheng downed glass after glass of wine, and in the end, she was so drunk that she lay on the bar and started talking nonsense.
Ling Xiao's heart ached when he saw Gu Qingcheng like this. He had been the apple of Gu Man's eye ever since he was young. Her parents had died early, and her younger brother was young and hungry. Her so-called love had died long before it blossomed.
Even though An Jing had been his childhood friend, Ling Xiao had no feelings for her. In his memory, the girl was thin and weak. She spoke in a coquettish voice, making people want to protect her.
After she had heartlessly abandoned Gu Qingcheng and left him with nothing to do for so many years, Ling Xiao no longer liked her.
Gu Qingcheng's everything had been shattered into pieces when An Jing first chose to develop her career in Hollywood. The second time was when Gu Qingcheng abandoned Xiong Lin and went to America for four years without a word. That was when his life would be gone.
Only now did he realize that losing Xiong Lin was the pain of his life.
Love had magic power. It could make people drunk, but it could also make people move forward courageously.
