When Lu Jingli woke up, it was dark outside.
The first thing he did was to look for his brother, but just as he left the house his cell phone rang and the caller ID showed it was Mo Lingtian.
Why is this guy calling him at this time
Lu Jingli picked up the phone suspiciously, "Hello, Brother Tian! What do you want to talk to me about?"
Mo Lingtian's tone sounded very serious, "Jingli, what's going on with your brother? Why did he suddenly fall out with the Guan family?"
"Ah? Falling out? Yes, they have! They fell out a long time ago! But how did you know?" Lu Jingli asked suspiciously.
"How should I know? Now everyone in the circle knows it! The big deal that the Guan family recently negotiated with the government in China was exposed to involve huge bribes and unfair competition. Guan Rui has been taken away for investigation, and the Guan family's listed company overseas is on the verge of bankruptcy overnight. Now the Guan family is looking for connections and asking for help everywhere, but your brother has directly spread the word in the circle that anyone who helps the Guan family is going against him!" Mo Lingtian explained quickly.
Lu Jingli was dumbfounded. "Damn it! I just woke up from a nap... and he bankrupted the Guan family?"
"I can't get through to your brother on the phone now, so I can only come to you. What's going on?" Mo Lingtian asked in a slightly deep voice.
Lu Jingli curled his lips, "Tsk, did Guan Ziyao come to you for help? Brother Tian, don't blame me for not reminding you, you'd better not get involved in this matter, otherwise you won't even be able to be friends with me!"
"I have to know the reason!"
Lu Jingli's tone was slightly sarcastic, "Before I tell you the reason, I really want to know what Guan Ziyao told you."
"She said your brother did it for Ning Xi. This reason... is reasonable, but it doesn't make sense. If nothing special happened, he wouldn't have done this."
Hearing that Mo Lingtian was still rational, Lu Jingli's attitude softened a little, "Luckily you found me. If you had found my brother, he would definitely not bother to explain. By then, you would have been tricked by someone using their beauty trap. If you just cried casually, you might have been fooled! Wait, I will send you two wonderful recordings, you can listen to them yourself!"
After Lu Jingli finished speaking, he sighed and said, "Brother Tian, I admire you for loving someone wholeheartedly for so many years. I respect your persistence. However, some people may not be as they appear to be. You should be more careful!"
After Mo Lingtian hung up the phone, he fell into a long silence.
Soon, there will be a reminder of the latest email in your mailbox.
Mo Lingtian lit a cigarette, hesitated for a moment, and then lit it. As the voice inside came out, his expression became more and more ugly...
After an unknown amount of time, Mo Lingtian finally returned to the box.
In the private room, Guan Ziyao asked nervously as soon as she saw him, "Ling Tian, what did Ting Xiao say?"
Mo Lingtian gave the other person a complicated look, then said, "I couldn't get through to Tingxiao, so I called Lu Jingli. He sent me two recordings."
When Guan Ziyao heard the word "recording", her face turned pale.
Mo Lingtian stared at the woman in front of him, "Zi Yao, are you hiding something from me?"
Guan Ziyao fell into the chair behind him, knowing that he could no longer hide it, and said with a miserable smile, "Yes... my parents and my brother... did some stupid things... but they were all for me... for me to be happy... I can pay the price for my stubbornness... but they are all innocent..."
