"Xiaowan, you are here, you are so beautiful today! I saw you when you first came in, but...so, um, only now..."
Seeing Li Zi's hesitation, Tang Xiaowan quickly interrupted: "Thank you. Actually, it's all set off by this skirt. It seems that Huahua has a good sense. I don't need to choose my own clothes in the future."
"No, no, you are already in good condition and are good in all aspects. You don't need to set it off."
Before she finished speaking, Tang Xiaowan lowered her head and took a sip of the juice. Li Zi's deep and fiery eyes made her feel uncomfortable.
At this time, the music started playing, and people around began to look for dance partners and have a good time.
"Xiaowan, I can invite you..."
"Oh, Zishen, I just have something to ask you. How about... let's go over there?"
Li Zishen nodded slightly awkwardly.
The outstretched hand slowly retracted.
So, the two of them moved to a secluded place.
Seeing that there was no one around, Tang Xiaowan immediately lowered her voice and asked, "Zishen, on the day you went to the Plum Garden to rescue me, I remember you found some footprints near the lawn. Are the pictures you took still there?"
"Yes, I've always kept it. What's wrong, Xiaowan, what happened?" Li Zi subconsciously grabbed Tang Xiaowan's arm, her eyes full of anxiety.
"It's okay, it's fine. I just suddenly remembered it and was a little curious and wanted to take a look."
"Oh, just wait a moment."
Li Zishen immediately let go of his hand, called Bai Long, and asked him to send all the photos of Meiyuan's footprints.
At this moment, a waiter carrying a very exquisite jade ornament came quickly from behind them, and he was about to bump into it.
That was a valuable auction item.
What shocked the waiter was that Tang Xiaowan easily dodged it by turning sideways, and even caught the tray he was about to drop at the critical moment.
The jade ornaments were safe and sound, still lying firmly on the tray.
"I'm sorry I frightened you!"
Tang Xiaowan raised her eyebrows and said, "Are you okay? Are you okay?"
"No, it's okay. Thank you, miss."
"Oh... that's good, go and get busy, otherwise others will have to wait."
After a simple word of comfort, the waiter seemed a little guilty. He quickly lowered his head and the tray in his hand began to tremble.
He didn't even dare to look into Tang Xiaowan's eyes.
Those almond-shaped eyes were extremely clear, yet full of intelligence, as if they could see through people at a glance.
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean it."
Li Zishen on the side moved his mouth slightly, and his bright black eyes scanned the waiter's work badge.
"It's okay here, go down."
"Yes, sir."
After the waiter left, Li Zishen immediately changed his expression, looked at Tang Xiaowan tenderly, and said softly: "Go to my private room, I have something to talk to you about, and I'm waiting for the photos."
"It's the same thing here."
"It's about Leng Lingxiao, let's go. There are too many people here and it's inconvenient."
Tang Xiaowan nodded tangledly, and then followed Li Zishen towards the private room, only to put her hand into the handbag she carried with her.
"Have you sent the photo?"
"Not yet, add it to WeChat first and forward it to you when I receive it." Li Zishen said with a smile.
Tang Xiaowan reluctantly nodded.
Since Li Zishen had refused to attend the charity reception before, there was no private room reserved, and he decided to come at the last minute. Jiang Yongheng arranged a large private room for him to receive VIPs.
After all, Li Zishen is a business tycoon, and Jiang Yongheng is still looking forward to cooperating with him.
The furnishings in the room are very luxurious and grand, the chandelier is made of crystal, the sofa is made of calfskin, and even the carpets and curtains are airlifted from country Y.
"Tell me, what's going on?" Tang Xiaowan sat directly on the single sofa and asked curiously.
"You... take a look at this first."
Li Zishen handed the phone to Tang Xiaowan with a heavy expression on his face.
Immediately afterwards, the video started playing.
I saw a barefoot woman spinning around in the ward, with messy hair, dull eyes, and laughing wildly from time to time.
The scars on his face are even more shocking.
"Su Luoyi? This person is... Su Luoyi?"
"Yes, that's her, in country Y."
Li Zishen handed a glass of juice to Tang Xiaowan to calm her nervousness. He didn't want to scare her, but he had to let her know.
"What's wrong with Su Luoyi? Is he sick or crazy?" Tang Xiaowan looked at Li Zishen in surprise.
She was indeed a little panicked.
Although she hated Su Luoyi very much before, she hadn't reached the point of hatred after all.
"She was raped by two punks."
Although this answer was a bit embarrassing, Li Zishen finally told the truth and looked at Tang Xiaowan's diamond ring with sad eyes.
The word "花花" is engraved very eye-catchingly.
The ruby ring was gone, replaced by a more blatant display of love.
Li Zi deeply felt like a knife was twisting his heart at this moment.
"Oh my god, how could it be? Why did she go there? Why did she go abroad? Why did she go to country Y? I thought she would go back to her hometown or somewhere."
Tang Xiaowan spoke incoherently, and the juice cup in her hand began to tremble.
"Xiao Wan, do you know that Leng Lingxiao also has an industry in Country Y, and the market there... is almost entirely controlled by him. It is not an exaggeration to say that he can cover the sky with one hand, so... if you want to create A little trouble... easy."
Li Zishen's words were clearly hinting to Tang Xiaowan that what happened to Su Luoyi was related to Leng Lingxiao, and he was the one who instigated it.
"There must be a misunderstanding here. It's impossible, absolutely impossible. He is so gentle and considerate. He is the best and kindest person in the world."
"When I got up early, I already received news that Leng Lingxiao's people had indeed been to the neighborhood where the incident occurred."
Li Zishen suddenly held Tang Xiaowan's hand.
In just a moment, Tang Xiaowan struggled to shake him off and stood up with eyes full of anger.
"Su Luoyi once kidnapped me with a knife. She also burned my bookcase at Jinyuan Academy and did so many bad things. She brought it upon herself and had nothing to do with anyone else."
"Xiao Wan, a large amount of money and cash were found in the homes of those two gangsters. This is enough to prove that they were bribed."
"Is there a recording, are there any witnesses? Are there fingerprints on the money?"
"No, but Xiaowan..."
"Then don't jump to conclusions casually, lest you wrongly accuse good people."
"It doesn't matter whether Leng Lingxiao..."
"Yes, no matter what, I love him and it will never change in this life. He has sacrificed too much to protect me. I will not allow you to slander him or slander him like this."
"Didn't I protect you? Why can't you..."
"It's different. You are you and he is him."
"Why is it different? Just because he has known you 15 years before me? Xiaowan, you don't know him at all. Even Bai Long is afraid of him when he sees him. Think about it, what kind of person will he be?"
"Is it strange that a shopping mall is like a battlefield? Do you dare to say that you have never done anything behind the scenes to poach people and seize other people's markets?"
"Xiaowan, you, I..."
Li Zishen was about to speak but stopped, frowning.
"Tell me, why are you hesitating? I have nothing to say. I have acquiesced, so don't..."
Just as Tang Xiaowan was arguing her case, she suddenly heard a strange sound, as if someone had locked the door of the private room from the outside.
She clutched her handbag tightly and turned around quickly.
