I asked you to go down the mountain and get married, not to shock the world!

The call was hung up.

The busy tone coming from the other end made Ling Yiyi even more desperate.

Her body sank weakly and she collapsed on the stool.

The steam from the hot pot in front of her gradually covered her face, but she seemed not to notice it, and she felt very sad.

Seeing this, Mingchuan frowned and stepped forward, saying softly, "I'll send someone to handle this for you, don't worry."

"No." Ling Yiyi shook her head firmly. When she raised her eyes, tears flashed in her eyes. "No need to deal with it."

"He has always been like this. He is a constant burden to me and my mother."

"My mother was still seriously ill in the hospital, but he didn't care about our feelings at all and only cared about enjoying himself."

A hint of hatred appeared in Ling Yiyi's eyes.

"Don't even mention that I don't have the 500,000 yuan right now. Even if I did, I would never give it to them."

"He brought this upon himself. If he wants to die, let him go!"

Ling Yiyi's tone was firm, and she was extremely disappointed.

After only a few seconds, he raised his head again, showing his usual professional smile, and said to Mingchuan: "Okay, don't worry about such an unimportant person, let's continue eating."

Keep eating?

Can you still eat it?

But since people have said so, how can he still meddle in other people’s business?

Mingchuan was amazed and slowly sat down again. However, when he looked up inadvertently, he saw a tear flash across the corner of Ling Yiyi's eye under the mist from the hot pot.

……

It was late at night. Mingchuan sent Ling Yiyi home and returned to his apartment with Leng Xi.

Leng Xi had already gone to bed. When she heard the noise outside the door, she raised her eyes hazily and looked over there. She said vaguely, "Are you back? How did things go today? Have you eaten? I left some food for you."

This series of questions made Mingchuan feel warm in his heart.

No wonder everyone says that getting married is good. Apart from some outrageous sky-high betrothal gifts, it is really nice to have a wife who cares about you in such a gentle and soft voice at any time after marriage.

He took off his dirty coat, got on the bed, and hugged Leng Xi into his arms. "It's nothing serious. We've eaten. Let's go to sleep."

"Hmm..." Leng Xi responded vaguely, and then his eyelids closed again with heavy eyelids.

After a while, a slight cry came from my arms.

Mingchuan was just about to have a peaceful sleep with his wife when his cell phone kept vibrating and the screen kept flashing with light, disturbing his sleep.

Mingchuan frowned and took the phone sideways.

Ah Xiong: [Brother, I think Miss Ling seems a little off. Take a look, these are the photos the brothers sent me.]

Ah Xiong: [Picture]

In the photo, Ling Yiyi was sitting alone on the windowsill, looking worried and lifeless at the dark sky in the distance.

She was wearing only a thin skirt and had her hands on her sides.

He looks so weak, as if he is about to fall down at any moment!

Ah Xiong: [Brother? Are you asleep? Want to keep an eye on her? Or should we pay her father to redeem her? We can tie that old brat Ling Sheng up in our casino and make him work. If he doesn't leave, he'll get into trouble!]

You know what, this idea is actually quite good.

Everyone in there is Ling Sheng's acquaintance, and they can take care of him from time to time.

By then, Ling Sheng would have been tortured to the point of losing his temper, so how could he have the time to run out and do bad things again?

But Mingchuan just frowned, tapped his fingers quickly, and replied: [Don't worry about her, she won't jump.]

Ah Xiong: [? ]

Ah Xiong: [Are you so sure? This is a life.]

Mingchuan: [Don't disturb my sleep.]

After saying that, he turned off the phone and didn't care about it anymore.

If Ling Yiyi really jumped down like this, she would not deserve sympathy.

He has worked so hard to help Ling Yiyi, and she has been through all these years on her own. Why should she make a fuss at this critical juncture when everything is about to get better?

It's really hard.

He was too lazy to think about it anymore, holding Leng Xi in his arms, and fell into a deep sleep.

On this side, Ling Yiyi really didn't think about jumping down.

She was just enjoying the breeze on the windowsill.

But my mind couldn't help but keep replaying the previous phone call.

In addition to the phone call, there was also the grand occasion of the Ling family many years ago.

Many years ago, the Ling family stood above everyone else and was a dazzling existence. Who would not admire them upon seeing them?

But now, it has come to this point.

The ugly faces of countless people trampling on them flashed through their minds one by one, like a kaleidoscope of memories before death.

The more Ling Yiyi thought about it, the more upset she felt.

She turned off her cell phone, climbed back from the windowsill, and lay flat on the soft bed. Her eyes moved around, and every object in the room she touched made her feel sad.

Everything she has now was given by Mingchuan. She shamelessly relied on Mingchuan to gain a new life.

She couldn't repay kindness with enmity and let Mingchuan follow her and be dragged down and tortured by his father.

Father is a bottomless pit that can never be filled...

……

The next day.

When Mingchuan woke up, Leng Xi was sitting at the dining table in the living room, holding a piece of bread in his mouth while typing something quickly on the computer keyboard.

It looked like they were having a remote meeting, and they were responding to the other party from time to time.

"I understand. You'll conduct market research on this matter and give me an answer in a week. Also, the director of the planning department has already left for Country M, right? Let him work a little harder during this period. Keep in touch at all times. When he returns, in addition to his commission, I'll give him an additional salary."

"And Jiang Hongwu and his gang..."

Leng Xi paused, his voice becoming even more indifferent. "Clear all the projects they are responsible for. Some things should be taken back."

The call ends and the video conference is turned off.

Leng Xi took off his headphones and stuffed a little more bread into his mouth.

"You have work so early today?"

Hearing the voice, Leng Xi turned around and saw Mingchuan coming out of the bedroom. She stuffed a piece of bread into Mingchuan's hand and nodded, "Yes, the company has been busy lately trying to acquire the resources that the Sun family had previously scattered. It's been very busy."

"Thank you for your hard work. Is there anything I can help you with?"

Leng Xi: "Help..."

She thought for a while and said, "There is indeed a favor I need you to do."

"You said."

"Remember the guy named Zeng? Zeng Yunchao."

"Remember, what happened?"

Leng Xi's eyes were dark, and there was disdain on the corner of his mouth. "This person wants to steal our project. I heard that he has a good team and the partners have begun to consider them."

"If you have time, go and deal with Zeng Yunchao?"
