"Li Li, it's not good."
When Chu Shishi's voice came from the computer, Xia Li was brushing some men's suits designed by well-known domestic and foreign designers.
The movements in her hands paused: "What's wrong?"
Across the screen, Chu Shishi gasped a little: "My brother seems to have caused trouble in the bar and brought it to the police station!"
"What should I do, Li Li, my parents are not at home..."
When she received the call from the police, Chu Shishi recalled with confusion whether she had committed any major incident recently.
But after searching in her mind for a long time, apart from occasionally reading pornographic comics, she really couldn't think of anything else that would make the police call her in the middle of the night.
When she heard it was Chu Wang, Chu Shishi almost thought she had heard wrong.
How could her brother, a gentle man like him, cause trouble in a bar?
Immediately, Chu Shishi suspected that it must be a scam call.
In her heart, she couldn't help but laugh at how advanced the methods used to defraud phone calls nowadays were. Fortunately, she had already downloaded the anti-fraud app.
It wasn't until the police reported her police number and address of the Public Security Bureau, and she heard Chu Wang's voice, that Chu Shishi suddenly came back to her senses.
Chu Wang is really at the Public Security Bureau!
"Brother, what happened to you? I'll be right over!"
The moment she heard Chu Wang's voice appear on the phone, Chu Shishi's heart immediately jumped.
“A little thing.
"Chu Wang on the other end of the phone wiped the corners of his slightly blue mouth and paused:
"It's not safe for you to be alone at night. If possible, ask Xia Li if he can come with you."
After hanging up the phone, Chu Wang sat on a chair in the public security bureau and looked coldly at the man sitting opposite him.
Qi Du irritably picked up the paper cup filled with hot water in front of him and put it to his lips, opening his mouth to drink without saying a word.
I never thought that I would be scalded by hot water.
"hiss--"
Qi Du rubbed the corners of his mouth, which were also blue, and looked at Chu Wang with some sadness in his eyes:
"I said, brother, I have no enmity with you. Why did you come up and punch me?"
Qi Du felt that he was really unlucky today.
I have been irritated all day because Su Cheng threatened her with pregnancy and asked him to marry her and join the Qi family.
I finally had time to go out to drink and relax at night. I just fell in love with a girl with a pretty good figure, but she was punched by the guy in front of me.
"Feel sorry."
Chu Wang closed his drunken eyes and raised his hand to rub his slightly swollen temples.
"got the wrong person."
Qi Du: "..."
Chu Wang indeed drank too much.
Ever since he saw the message Cui Mingyuan sent him, he has never been in a better mood.
He finally found some free time tonight, and he was so upset that he didn't want to stay in an empty house anymore, so he simply found a bar to drink.
He sat down in the most secluded corner of the bar and put the wine glass in his hand into his mouth one after another.
In a daze, he saw a figure walking by not far away.
It wasn't clear, but it made him subconsciously think it was Xia Li.
He put down his wine glass and walked towards the figure, but when he was halfway there, he found that the girl not far away was being held by the wrist by the man in the middle of the booth.
The next second, the girl was dragged by the man and sat on his lap.
Chu Wang thought the girl sitting on the man's lap was Xia Li.
His drunken eyes darkened a bit.
Chu Wang, who was drunk and drunk, could not suppress the raging fire in his heart. Without thinking, he walked up to them and stretched out his hand to pull the girl up from the man's lap.
Immediately afterwards, he raised his fist and punched Qi Du, who was sitting in the middle of the booth.
The noisy booth became silent at this moment.
Qi Du, who was beaten inexplicably, was not a vegetarian. He was punched inexplicably, and he felt unhappy no matter what.
So Qi Du gritted his teeth and stood up from the booth, punching Chu Wang in the corner of the mouth.
The two grown men started fighting, and the people in the booth tried to stop them, but to no avail.
In the end, the only option was to call the police.
It wasn't until the police arrived that Chu Wang could see the girl's face clearly.
Except for his figure, which resembles Xia Li, nothing else resembles him.
The girl also noticed his gaze, lowered her head slightly in embarrassment, and whispered thank you.
In the silent police station, only one window was opened.
Occasionally, a breeze blew through the open window, dispersing Chu Wang's drunkenness a little.
When Chu Shishi and Xia Li arrived, it was already half an hour later.
When Xia Li saw Qi Du sitting opposite Chu Wang, he couldn't help but pause.
Sensing Xia Li's gaze, Qi Du frowned unhappily, and his tone became several degrees fiercer:
"What are you looking at?" He stretched out his hand to try to cover the bruise at the corner of his mouth, "Take care of your boyfriend quickly and don't hit him easily."
"He is not......"
Xia Li was about to deny her relationship with Chu Wang, but she saw Qi Du, who had been a little arrogant just now, looking at the door behind her and getting cold feet.
"Uncle...?"
He was abruptly interrupted mid-sentence.
Xia Li turned around following his line of sight and saw Qizhou wearing a black short-sleeved shirt standing at the door with a serious look on his face.
Qizhou didn't expect to meet Xia Li here, and was also stunned for a moment.
"Xia Li?"
Xia Li reluctantly forced out a smile: "Uh, good evening..."
At this moment, Xia Li felt a little crazy.
How could Qidu’s uncle be Qizhou!
Why did such a bloody thing happen to her!
Now she couldn't wait to find a crack in the ground and crawl into it immediately.
She knew the relationship between Qizhou and Xie Yin.
What if...he told Xie Yin about tonight's incident, would she die?
Why did she suddenly have a...
Feeling guilty as if you have cheated?
etc!
Stop it!
Xia Li suddenly realized that it seemed that only the two of them, plus her parents and Chu Shishi, knew about the certificates she and Xie Yin received.
Other than that, no one should know.
Qizhou didn't know if this meant that he might not tell Xie Yin?
Qi Du looked at Xia Li and then at his brother-in-law:
"Huh? Do you know each other?"
Before the two of them could say anything, Qi Du immediately said:
"Uncle, you really can't blame me this time."
This was the first time that Xia Li saw such a cowardly side of the always tense young master of the Qi family.
"Xia Li's boyfriend did it first."
Xia Li's heart tightened, and he looked at Qizhou who was standing at the door holding a mobile phone in one hand as if sending a message, and quickly wanted to deny:
"He is not......"
But he was interrupted again.
The person who interrupted her this time was Chu Wang.
Xia Li, who kept being interrupted, was speechless.
Get rid of it, can you give her a chance to refute!
She really has nothing to do with Chu Wang!
"Sorry." Chu Wang also stood up from his seat.
"I was drunk and a little high at the time. What kind of compensation do you want?"
-
In the end, Qizhou did not ask for compensation from Chu Wang.
Because Chu Wang was inconvenient to drive after drinking, Chu Shishi called an online taxi.
Chu Wang wanted to send Xia Li home first, but Xia Li refused.
"Brother Chu Wang, I can just go back by myself."
Chu Wang lowered his eyes slightly in a depressed mood, and his eyes accidentally glanced at the diamond ring on the girl's hand.
He opened his lips and wanted to say something more, but in the end he could only nod.
When Chu Wang got home, he took two cans of beer from the refrigerator and sat down on the floor with his back against the foot of the bed, expressionless.
He opened the beer with one hand and took a swig.
Recalling seeing the wedding ring on Xia Li's hand outside the police station, I felt mixed emotions.
He wanted to send a message to Xia Li and ask her if she was really married.
But when he took the abandoned mobile phone, he suddenly realized——
He no longer had Xia Li's contact information.
That year, in the first month after he went abroad, his mobile phone was stolen.
The number that had been in his contacts also disappeared.
Later, he also asked Chu Shishi for Xia Li's number, but when he called, it was shown as an empty number.
Chu Shishi said that Xia Li should have changed her mobile phone number, but because everyone mostly chatted on WeChat, she didn't know what Xia Li's new number was.
Chu Shishi once offered to help him get it, but Chu Wang refused.
At that time, he probably didn't want to disturb Xia Li, who was busy with his studies.
But now...
He regretted it.
Chu Wang's hand holding the beer can tightened so hard that the can was deformed and the cold liquid inside overflowed and stained his hand, but he didn't care at all.
Chu Wang raised his head and leaned against the bed, raising his arms to cover his eyes.
Obviously Xia Li always liked to stick to him in the past, smiling brightly next to him and calling him "Brother Chu Wang".
But now, he clearly felt the distance between Xia Li and him.
At the police station, he deliberately interrupted her. He admitted that he had selfish motives.
But he saw that her face was not pretty, which made him a little at a loss.
He thought it was not too late for him to come back.
But when he saw the diamond ring on Xia Li's fingertips, he realized that he was wrong.
He didn't think it was too late, he just thought.
There was darkness in the silent room.
The hazy moonlight spilled in through the gaps in the curtains, lightly covering the man's body.
Under the moonlight, a crystal tear fell gently on the floor.
...
When Xia Li returned to Tingyuan, it was already late at night.
Opening the door, I saw dim lights on in the living room.
Xia Li paused in closing the door, frowning as he recalled whether he had turned off the lights before going out.
She remembers...
She clearly turned off the lights before going out. Did she forget to turn off the lights in the living room?
Xia Li closed the door behind him and raised his hand to scratch his head.
Forget it.
Xia Li bent down and changed her shoes, stepping on soft slippers and walked out of the entrance. Out of the corner of her eye, she suddenly caught a glimpse of the figure sitting on the sofa in the living room.
Just as he was about to go upstairs, he paused slightly.
The warm yellow light in the living room fell down and fell on the man sitting on the sofa.
The man's legs were crossed in a sloppy posture, and he was carelessly playing with the metal cigarette lighter in his hand.
Sensing Xia Li's gaze.
Xie Yin slowly raised his eyes and accurately caught her gaze in the air.
The next second.
Xia Li saw the corner of the man's mouth slightly raised, and a low but oppressive voice sounded slowly in the living room and slowly reached her ears.
"Long time no see, Mrs. Xie."
Xia Li stood there, feeling a little dazed by the scene in front of him.
However, Xie Yin calmly stood up from the sofa and walked up to her, leaning down slightly to look level with her.
The pupils as black as thick ink seemed calm but in fact, they were filled with unknown danger, staring straight into Xia Li's eyes.
There was no sound in the huge living room, and even breathing became cautious.
The man's hot breath mixed with the scent of ebony with a hint of tobacco smell swept away the air around her, and Xia Li's mind went blank.
Xie Yin stared at her for a while, his thin lips slightly parted.
The magnetic voice slowly crawled into her ears——
