After hearing her son's words, Mrs. Li was still a little frightened, worried that her brother had something to hide, so she decided to go and see for herself.
"Mother Wu, come to the hospital with me."
"Close at ten o'clock, tomorrow!" Li Zihan said with a smile, "Don't worry, the news is true and reliable, my uncle will definitely not lie to me."
"Yes, madam, there is no rush at this moment." Wu Ma saw this and quickly dissuaded her.
At this time, Li Zihan took out a mobile phone from his pocket. He smiled mysteriously: "Mom, you can call. I bought a new mobile phone for my uncle, and I also got a new number. That's it. Let's call."
This son is so considerate!
Mrs. Li dialed Yuan Feng's new number, still feeling a little nervous.
"Hey, it's me, Xiao Min. Brother, what's wrong with you? Are you okay? Zihan said you have thought about it and plan to settle in Lancheng?" Mrs. Li asked anxiously.
Yuan Feng smiled and replied: "Yes, I am getting older and I don't want to wander around anymore."
He didn't mention anything about being beaten by Li Zishen yesterday. Although he had a severe headache now, he didn't want his sister to worry.
When Mrs. Li heard what her brother said, she felt a little more relaxed.
"Brother, that's great. Take good care of your injuries and cooperate with the doctor's treatment. What do you want to eat tomorrow?" Mrs. Li said softly, feeling a little excited.
"Dumplings." Yuan Feng replied, "fennel meat. If you can't buy fennel, celery meat will do."
"Okay, I got it, see you tomorrow!"
After hanging up the phone, Mrs. Li took a deep breath and suddenly felt relieved. Why was she so nervous? In fact, her brother had figured it out and didn't want to hide anymore. She had nothing to worry about.
She was really frightened. After all, too many things had happened recently, one after another.
"It's getting late. Let's all go get some rest. I'm sleepy too. Let's go to bed early." Mrs. Li said with a smile and handed the phone to Li Zihan's hand.
Li Zihan nodded, looking proud.
Finally, my mother's worries were resolved. The past two days of chatting with my uncle were not in vain.
"Get up early tomorrow and don't be late again!"
After saying this, Mrs. Li left the study with a smile and went straight to the bedroom.
Although she was not sleepy at all and couldn't sleep at all, she still had to pretend to be sleepy. She didn't want her son to worry, and she didn't want Wu's mother to worry.
Immediately, Li Zihan began to clean up the glass shards on the floor with Wu Ma.
But those little blood stains made him worried.
He knew that his mother had always been a strong person and had been silently shouldering the responsibilities of family and career, but he also knew that her mother was actually fragile and uneasy deep inside.
The son is his mother's heart and soul, and he wants her to rest assured and give her more care.
"Wu Ma, thank you for taking care of us all the time. If you need my help in any way, just say it." Li Zihan said.
Wu's mother smiled and replied: "Children, I don't need your help. Go and have a rest early. We have to go to school tomorrow."
Li Zihan nodded, his heart full of gratitude. He knew that everything in Bieyuan was inseparable from Wu Ma's decades of hard work.
After leaving the study, Li Zihan returned to his room, thinking about what to do next.
He first thought of his brother Li Zishen. He didn't know what his uncle and his brother had talked about. I didn't plan to ask him. I just wanted to say it naturally. The most important thing now is to show more care and encouragement.
Tang Xiaowan and Leng Lingxiao received their certificates, and Jiang's bankruptcy and death were all heart-wrenching things.
So, a phone call was made.
…
Tonight, it was not only the Li family's mother and son who had trouble sleeping, but also Tang Xiaowan and Leng Lingxiao.
The night in Huangcheng is quiet and beautiful, the starry sky is dotted with twinkling stars, and the young couple quietly enjoys this peaceful and beautiful moment.
They were close, clinging to each other.
Tang Xiaowan opened the storage box, took out a piece of durian pulp, and handed it to Leng Lingxiao. The two of them tasted the sweet taste together, chatting about some and all, laughing.
Happiness is like this sometimes, it doesn't matter what you talk about, the key is who is around you.
Leng Lingxiao looked up at the stars and said softly: "Tangtang, look, the stars are so beautiful! Just like our love, they are bright and eternal."
Tang Xiaowan looked at Leng Lingxiao with gentle eyes, then slowly lay down, resting on his legs: "Yes, every star is silently witnessing our love. No matter what difficulties you encounter, I will be with you Face it and defeat it.”
"You're absolutely right, that's right." Leng Lingxiao stood up and made a victory gesture.
Suddenly, there was a muffled bang.
Tang Xiaowan's heart trembled.
In an instant, tears burst into her eyes, and she looked at Leng Lingxiao so intently, as if she had lost her voice, unable to say a word.
"Fool, it's not me. I'm fine. Maybe it's a kid playing with an airsoft gun."
Seeing that Tang Xiaowan was still dumbfounded, Leng Lingxiao quickly turned around, raised his arms, stretched his legs, and did two stretching exercises.
"See! I'm fine."
Tang Xiaowan breathed a sigh of relief, but she was still very panicked.
Did you hear wrongly? They really look alike!
"Huahua, you scared me to death. The sound came from behind you, so... I thought, bah bah bah, I was just talking nonsense. Nothing happened." Tang Xiaowan explained incoherently.
The man's eyes flashed, filled with joy. His little wife cared so much about his safety. At this moment, he felt like his heart was about to melt.
"Are you so worried about me?"
"Because that voice does come from you..."
Leng Lingxiao nodded, pulled Tang Xiaowan to the edge of the roof, then raised his hand and pointed: "It's over there, across the road, in that house."
"Wang Jinghui? Is he making something with durian? Then he did it improperly..."
"Well, it's very possible. Let's go and see?"
So, Leng Lingxiao took Tang Xiaowan off the roof and ran straight to the house diagonally opposite.
The aroma of smoke and barbecue grew stronger as they approached. A burst of noisy sounds came into my ears, accompanied by Wang Jinghui's excited laughter, as if something good had happened.
However, when they opened the door, they saw a chaotic scene.
The kitchen was filled with smoke, two ovens were sizzling, and one was vandalized and useless. Wang Jinghui stood aside excitedly, holding a piece of golden barbecue in his hand, which looked quite tempting.
Tang Xiaowan sighed secretly in her heart: Three ovens were actually prepared!
"Hahaha! I succeeded! It seems I can become a chef! She will definitely like it!" Wang Jinghui said to himself proudly.
Leng Lingxiao and Tang Xiaowan looked at each other and couldn't help laughing. Although there is some chaos here, everything is still under control. It's just that some items were damaged and everyone is fine.
"I said, how did you get in?" Wang Jinghui asked in surprise.
"Grandpa, you didn't even lock the door. You left it open and walked in arrogantly." Tang Xiaowan said with a smile and walked straight to the oven.
"Oh, maybe...I forgot."
Leng Lingxiao walked over, patted Wang Jinghui on the shoulder, suppressed a smile and asked, "Brother Wang, are you... making a feast with durian?"
"You should call Grandpa after Tangtang!"
Leng Lingxiao frowned and replied with a half-smile: "Well, it seems a bit..."
He was really not used to it. After all, the two of them had known each other as brothers for many years. It was really difficult to suddenly change their tune and it took time to adapt.
"Forget it! I'm too lazy to argue with you. I'm really researching new products. I want the aroma of durian and barbecue to be fully integrated. Try it. It's really good! Since you are here, then act as a judge and try it together. ?”
"Grandpa, you didn't put any dark food in here, did you?" Tang Xiaowan deliberately teased.
"How is it possible? This is specially designed for your grandma. It just adds a little bit of meat, a little bit of vegetables, a little bit... It's not dark cuisine anyway. Try it boldly."
"Oh, okay, for grandpa and grandma... I will fight hard, just taste it."
Tang Xiaowan took a piece of barbecue and took a small bite. She immediately felt the sweetness of durian and the texture of the meat intertwined. It was delicious and unique.
"Wow, it's delicious, so fragrant, so delicious!" Tang Xiaowan praised in surprise.
"That's right, I knew it, hahaha."
Just like that, the three of them sat around the table and tasted this creative delicacy together.
However, not far from them, in a black business car, a man whose mouth was sealed with tape was being controlled by two mercenaries.
The man's legs were still bleeding and his eyes were wide open. It was easy to see that he was very scared.
Tang Xiaowan's suspicion was correct.
There was indeed a dull gunshot just now. Although the sound was not loud, she still heard it and accurately judged the direction.
Fifteen minutes later, the eastern suburbs villa.
The man was brought to the negative floor with his face covered by clothes, and then pushed into a dark room.
The room contained a table and chairs, surrounded by cold concrete walls. Two mercenaries dragged him to the center and took off the clothes on his head and the tape on his mouth.
Suddenly a punch hit him in the abdomen.
The man groaned and blood flowed from his mouth. He saw some strong mercenaries surrounding him, and he was very scared, not knowing what kind of torture he was going to endure next.
"Tell me, who ordered you to come?" a mercenary asked in a rude tone.
The man was afraid and didn't know how to answer for a moment. He tried his best to stay calm, but his hands and feet still trembled unconsciously.
Another mercenary sneered: "See, this is a guy who uses his arms as a cart."
Everyone burst out laughing.
At this moment, a middle-aged man in a black suit pushed open the door and walked in. His eyes were cold and he exuded a terrifying cruelty.
It was none other than Ding Hui.
He is still bald. He used to act as an ordinary bodyguard in Leng Lingxiao Manor. In order to make himself look more presentable, he wore a wig. Now he naturally doesn't need it when he goes out to perform tasks.
As a mercenary captain, Ding Hui has many ways to make men talk.
He glanced coldly at the man lying on the ground, feeling a little impatient.
"You should know that delaying time in this situation makes no sense. Tell me, who sent you here and what is the purpose?" Ding Hui's tone was full of majesty.
The man stood up with difficulty and wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth: "I won't talk about dreams."
"Okay, then don't blame me!"
After Ding Hui finished speaking, he punched the man directly in the face, and the man fell to the ground in pain. Ding Hui ordered the mercenaries to continue interrogating the man until he told the truth.
Soon came the shouts of men, each of which was extremely painful.
The room was suddenly filled with a strong murderous aura, and the man realized that his leg seemed to be broken. The blood was still flowing, but there was no pain near the injury. He knew that he had to tell the truth. This kind of torture was the most painful, and it would be better to die.
"Don't, don't fight, I said, I said."
Ding Hui's thin lips curled up slightly: "It would have been over if it had been like this. Tell me. If you dare to hide anything, I think you should know... what the consequences will be."
"I know, it's all the truth, it's all."
As a result, the man began to tremble and tell the story of how he was sent to track Leng Lingxiao.
It's just that Ding Hui didn't let him go after hearing this. Instead, he treated him even more harshly, making him miserable.
The interrogation lasted for a long time, and the man finally couldn't bear it anymore and fainted.
Outside the corridor, Ding Hui pondered for a moment.
"Old Zhao, sent by Bai Long, said he was the only one acting alone, and the target was Mr. Leng." Ding Hui's eyes were cold, and he lowered his voice to report, "But... I always feel that it is impossible for him to be the only one." , there must be other accomplices.”
Zhao Renjie was not surprised when he heard the result, but he was still very angry.
"I'm not done with him yet, I'm looking for death!"
"Then tell me, what should we do next, how should we deal with it?" Ding Hui lit a cigarette and stood against the wall.
Zhao Renjie frowned: "Just follow the old rules."
…
While they were talking on the phone, Tang Xiaowan was already deep in thought at No. 66 Chunlei Street.
The couple cannot live in the same room in their parents' home. This is the tradition in Huangcheng. Although Grandma Tang did not say it explicitly, Leng Lingxiao still consciously went to the side sleeping room on the third floor.
After separating from Leng Lingxiao, Tang Xiaowan has been thinking about the sound she heard on the roof.
It was obviously very real, completely different from the sound made by improper operation of the oven, not to mention that Tang Xiaowan's hearing was different from ordinary people since she was a child.
Suddenly, there was a knock on the door.
It was Grandma Tang, she walked in slowly.
She knew that Tang Xiaowan couldn't sleep, so she came to stay with her and talk about going to Leng's house tomorrow.
"Grandma, why aren't you asleep yet?"
"Are you ready with everything you need to bring tomorrow?" Tang Mei asked gently.
"Well, Huahua said she was in the car."
"Look, Ling Xiao is very considerate. Who can be as heartless as you? If I were a man... Ling Xiao wouldn't dislike you."
"Tch, he is him and I am me. I keep talking to him and I don’t even want to go anymore. It’s so annoying!"
"After receiving the certificate, you will be the daughter-in-law of the Leng family. How much is the market price of 15% of Lingxiao Group's shares... Grandma, let's not worry about it for now. Let's just talk about the two companies Chihai and Haisheng. How dare he hand it over to you? Forget it, you are only 20 years old and still a student... This shows how much Ling Xiao trusts you. As his wife, shouldn't you also think about him? "
"Grandma, it's not that I don't want to go to his house, I just feel... quite embarrassed. Don't worry, I will definitely go. I was just joking."
Tang Xiaowan smiled innocently, fearing that grandma would scold her, so she quickly grabbed her arm and acted coquettishly.
"What about the wedding...are you really planning to do it after graduation?"
"Yes, haven't you promised me before, and Huahua also agreed? You can't deceive me, and you must keep your word?"
"But if you're not careful along the way..."
"No, definitely not. Huahua promised me that she would not get me pregnant."
"Don't be afraid if you have it, it's already legal."
Tang Xiaowan: "..."
God, I was assimilated by Huahua, why did I just blurt it out?
"Grandma, I'm sleepy, good night."
Before she could finish her words, Tang Xiaowan had already covered herself tightly with the quilt, like a little rabbit running away.
At this moment, she just wanted to hide to avoid being embarrassed and speechless.
Tang Mei gently patted the bulge on the quilt and said comfortingly: "Okay, okay, it's not impossible to wait until after graduation to hold the wedding, but the date must be decided first, so that you know it in your mind." Prepare a dowry for you."
"Didn't you already give it to me?" Tang Xiaowan asked across the quilt.
"The heavyweight ones are still to come."
After saying this, Tang Mei left the bedroom with a smile, her eyes full of love for her granddaughter.
