Leng Yan's words made Leng Feng stunned for a moment, and he had to re-examine his brother in front of him.
During his years abroad, his memory of the cold banquet had always been about the little guy following him. Now, even after coming back for so long, he still has this impression.
But at this moment, he realized deeply for the first time that in his absence, that little person had long grown into a towering tree, protecting the entire Leng family, including him, Leng Feng, a deserter of the Leng family.
"No, for these, what I should say is not sorry, but thank you." Leng Feng spoke again.
Leng Yan frowned slightly and looked at him, waiting for him to continue.
"There is something that I should have confessed a long time ago," Leng Feng lowered his head, "Back then, I was the one who brought the kidnappers there on that island."
Leng Yan still didn't speak, not even showing any expression of surprise or disappointment.
"Xiao Yan, don't you understand?" Leng Feng explained again, "I took the kidnapper there, and then you kidnapped me. Otherwise... I should be the only one kidnapped."
"So what?" Leng Yan said calmly, "I already knew it."
"What?" Leng Feng looked at Leng Yan in disbelief, "You... knew it back then?"
Leng Yan nodded, "Yes, I saw you bringing them over."
"Then you..." Leng Feng couldn't help but tremble, "Don't you hate me? If I didn't do that, many things wouldn't happen."
Leng Yan shook his head, "It seems like not. When I found out they were kidnappers, I was just scared and just wanted to stay with my brother..."
Having said this, he paused and his eyes seemed to be a little red, "But later, my brother went back to bring in reinforcements and left, but luckily... there is still the little girl here..."
He chuckled, "She is obviously younger than us, but she is so brave."
"Xiao Yan," at this time, Leng Feng deeply realized the importance of that little girl to Leng Yan. He couldn't help but grab Leng Yan's shoulders, "Xiao Yan's little girl back then was..."
"Okay." Leng Yan interrupted Leng Feng's words, looking impatient, "You came to me just to talk about this? Now that's it, I'm leaving."
He shook off Leng Feng's hand and turned to leave.
Leng Feng couldn't help but chase after him and blocked him, "Xiaoyan, not only back then, but also... after I come back this time..."
He didn't know what to say and could only look at Leng Yan excitedly, "Xiao Yan, Daodao and I... nothing happened. If you get divorced, she won't marry me. You still have a chance."
Leng Yan's eyes flashed.
"Xiao Yan, as long as you don't marry Lin Meizhi, you and Daodao will still have a chance!" Leng Feng repeated.
Leng Yan's eyes dimmed instantly. He lowered his head and avoided Leng Feng's passionate gaze. "Brother, stop making trouble. Zhizhi and I will not change our marriage."
He walked around Leng Feng and was about to open the door.
"Xiao Yan, please think about it again!"
"There's nothing to think about." Leng Yan opened the door forcefully and left quickly.
Leng Feng stood there blankly and let out a long sigh. In fact, Leng Yan and Lin Meizhi's wedding was destined to fail. He had just hoped that Leng Yan would change his mind, but he didn't expect... maybe everything was God's will.
He began to pack his things and planned to go to Country M as quickly as possible, hoping to find some evidence of Cao Nan's case.
That night, Lin Yu called Leng Yan.
When Leng Yan saw the call, he thought he was dreaming, but his phone kept vibrating and the other party never hung up.
He got up and walked to the floor-to-ceiling window and answered the phone.
"Cold banquet, it's me, Lin Yu." Lin Yu felt inexplicably embarrassed when we contacted him for the first time after the divorce.
"I know." Leng Yan's voice was distant and cold, "Is something wrong?"
Lin Yu twitched his lips helplessly on the other end of the phone, "That's right, I heard that something happened to Assistant Li Ran."
Leng Yan frowned in displeasure, "What? Are you familiar with Li Ran? Did you call to ask about Li Ran, or did you just want to find an excuse to call me?"
"..." Lin Yu had a question mark on his head, "Leng Yan, you misunderstood, I just..."
"I know this kind of behavior will cause misunderstanding, so I will do it less in the future." Leng Yan's voice was without any emotion.
Lin Yu had the urge to be angry. On the day of the divorce, this dog man was quite normal, but in the blink of an eye...he was even worse than a dog!
She tried her best to calm down her mood and asked patiently, "I have no other intention of calling you. I just want to attend Li Ran's funeral."
"That's ridiculous." Leng Yan sneered, "Lin Yu, I'm warning you, Li Ran has no friendship with you at all, and the funeral has nothing to do with you. If you have some sense of responsibility as a human being, don't disturb the Li family."
After saying that, he hung up the phone instantly without giving Lin Yu a chance to speak.
"Leng Yan, you bastard!" Lin Yu couldn't help but cursed into the phone.
If Li Ran's phone number hadn't been disconnected and she didn't know Li Ran's parents, she wouldn't have called Leng Yan.
She now felt that Leng Yan had turned into the lunatic who felt good about himself again.
"It's so sick!" As a result, Li Ran's clues were hopeless, and Lin Yu could only find another way.
In the old house of the Leng family, Leng Yan hung up the phone, with an unpredictable expression on his face.
"Ayan," Lin Meizhi was also there. She walked forward in a few steps, "Whose phone number is it?"
"Lin Yu." Leng Yan put away his phone, turned and walked to the living room.
Lin Meizhi's mind wandered, "What's wrong? What is she calling you for?"
Leng Yan glanced at her and said expressionlessly, "Ask Li Ran about the funeral."
Lin Meizhi's face changed slightly, and then she looked sad, "What time has been set for Li Ran's funeral? I will go with you then."
"Li Ran's parents have returned to their hometown and the funeral has been held. We can't attend."
Lin Meizhi felt a burst of joy in her heart, but her face showed a look of extreme disappointment, "Okay, but it's understandable that the old man wants him to return to his roots."
"When the wedding is over, let's go over and worship." Leng Yan added.
"Yes, this is the best." Lin Meizhi's good mood just now disappeared by half.
The two returned to the living room, and Leng Yan took the initiative to ask, "How are you persuading Meimei? When will I send it to Lin Yu?"
"Ayan, don't worry, Meimei is very sensible, and she likes Daodao very much. She has agreed."
Lin Meizhi estimated the time and realized that Leng Feng and Meimei should be arriving in Country M soon. "Tomorrow, I will give her to Daodao."
"Then you go back and spend time with her. Mom and I can arrange the wedding."
"Yes." Lin Meizhi nodded and went to greet Chen Bingbing again, "Aunt Chen, I'm going back first."
Chen Bingbing suddenly said, "I'm going to send Meimei away, why don't you bring her here to see her again today?"
