Back to eighteen, if I don't stand up, I'll be wasted

Chapter 142 The s
The wind is cool at night.

The temperature in the mountains at night is already very low, and it is very comfortable to enjoy the breeze on the balcony.

However, compared to enjoying the cool breeze, Li Yi still prefers eating melons.

He could even hear Yu Mancang's voice clearly on the phone.

Shocking! The daughter of a capitalist has been living away from home for eighteen years...

At this time, Zheng Manyue was completely numb.

She just said it casually.

In her opinion, even if it was true, Yu Mancang would not admit it just because she made a phone call.

That's too much of a joke.

Something that has been concealed for so long is going to be revealed just because of a phone call?

So... this call was just a plea for peace of mind for her. In her heart, the outcome was already predetermined.

But unexpectedly, Yu Mancang admitted it directly.

"Uncle Yu, are you kidding me? I know you've always liked to coax me since I was little, but there's no need for that. Jingjing and I have a good relationship, and I can't steal her father away."

Yu Mancang said on the other end of the phone: "Yueyue, I know you can't accept this for the time being. After all, I really owe you too much over the years."

"No, no, no! No, no, Uncle Yu, stop joking..."

"Yueyue, where are you now? I'll come find you and have a good chat with you."

"No, I'm not in Yunzhou right now. It's very far away... Um... Let's end this matter here. I promise not to ask again in the future. Uncle Yu, just pretend I never said anything and I know nothing..."

After Zheng Manyue finished speaking, she was about to hang up the phone and go back to the living room.

The cool breeze is a bit cold.

But the moment she turned around, a face appeared on the glass partition between the adjacent balconies.

"what……"

Zheng Manyue was startled.

Yu Mancang on the phone suddenly became anxious, "Yueyue, what's wrong?"

"What happened?"

"Hey, hey... Tell me where you are, I'll try to get there..."

"Yueyue..."

Zheng Manyue was stunned for a moment, then hurriedly said to the phone: "Uncle Yu, I'm fine, I'm fine, don't worry."

"How can you be okay? You never lie to me. Tell me now so I can be at ease. Otherwise, I'll call the police and locate your phone..."

"me……"

Zheng Manyue really didn't know what to say.

Should I say that I live in a hotel and my students are in my bedroom?

At this moment, Li Yi had already walked from the bedroom to the living room balcony. He leaned over to the phone and said, "Mr. Yu, Teacher Zheng is fine. I just showed up suddenly and scared her."

Yu Mancang on the other end of the phone said uncertainly, "Li Yi?"

Yu Mancang has to meet too many people every day. Although everyone has a different voice, his brain simply cannot process it all.

Apart from those particularly important figures, it is difficult for Yu Mancang to remember others deeply.

The fact that he could call out Li Yi's name after thinking for a moment showed that Li Yi had left a deep impression on him.

"Yes, yes, Mr. Yu is amazing, but I just overheard a secret. Mr. Yu, you won't kill me to silence me, right?"

"Why are you with Yueyue?"

"Ah? You mean Teacher Zheng? He's my homeroom teacher. Our class is traveling together over the holidays and staying in the same hotel. Teacher Zheng just asked me to come over to report on the situation and take a look at the photos I took during the day. But when I came in, I saw she was on the phone... She was so engrossed that she didn't notice me coming..."

Li Yi certainly couldn't say that he stayed in Zheng Manyue's room. If he said such things to the girl's parents, he would definitely be beaten.

"She's your homeroom teacher?" "Uh... you don't know?"

"Yueyue, give your phone to Li Yi, I want to talk to him." Yu Mancang is not sure about Zheng Manyue's condition at the moment, and he feels more at ease with Li Yi around.

"okay."

Zheng Manyue handed the phone to Li Yi.

Li Yi took it with a smile, then ran to the bedroom and closed the door.

Then he ran to the bedroom balcony.

At this time, Zheng Manyue was still on the balcony in the living room.

Just now it was Li Yi who eavesdropped, but now Li Yi allowed her to listen openly.

However, Li Yi also knew his limits and kept a little distance so that Zheng Manyue could not hear Yu Mancang's voice and could only hear what he said. As for what Yu Mancang said, he let her guess.

"Mr. Yu, I really didn't mean to overhear. It was a complete accident... I can keep this to myself and never tell anyone else."

On the other end of the phone, Yu Mancang said with a smile, "Don't be so formal. Is Yueyue by your side?"

"No, I knew Mr. Yu must want to say something to me, so I ran out. Did you hear the door close just now?"

"I heard it. I believe you know how to act properly, so I won't hide anything from you. Some of these things wouldn't be good for Yueyue to hear."

"Well, don't worry, she's definitely not around!"

At this time, Zheng Manyue next to her was so anxious that she was dying.

She could only hear what Li Yi said and had no idea what Yu Mancang said. Why was he so mysterious?
Why do you have to avoid yourself?

She really wanted to go over, but she was worried that the noise would be too loud and Yu Mancang would hear it, so she didn't say anything.

I can only stick to the partition glass to get closer.

However, I still can't hear it.

All I could hear was Li Yi responding with "hmm" and "ah" sounds over there.

……

Li Yi is listening to Yu Mancang telling a story.

A story from the 1990s.

The story of a dozen retired veterans who fought together in the great tide of the 1990s.

In that wild era, accidents were as common as eating and drinking. If you wanted to do something big, it was impossible not to conflict with others.

The means of resolving conflicts at that time were much more direct than they are now.

After all, there weren’t so many cameras and gene banks in the past.

Yu Mancang's wife in her hometown died in an accident less than five months after giving birth to Zheng Manyue.

At that time, Yu Mancang had just acquired a land project in Yunzhou. They had already made their first pot of gold and were definitely considered wealthy people.

It's just that a conflict of interest is inevitable, so the other party gave him a warning first.

And this warning became his lifelong regret.

He lost his wife and his daughter lost her mother.

A few years later, the project grew bigger and bigger, and he had more and more enemies, who gradually set their sights on him.

Because at that time he had nothing except a three or four-year-old daughter.

In a fatal conflict, his good comrade saved him from certain death, and that comrade's wife was only a few months pregnant...

After that incident, he announced something directly in the team, that is, to send his daughter to his comrade's wife, and when his comrade's wife gave birth to a child, he would take his child back and raise her as his own daughter.

On the phone, Yu Mancang explained the reason, which was that he didn't want to disappoint the brothers who followed him.

In Li Yi's opinion, Yu Mancang wanted to use this incident to completely win over people's hearts.
