As soon as she turned around, Zhu Anhuai pushed her against the wall. "Mr. Shen, I hate the look in your eyes the most." He pinched Xieyi's chin hard, "Don't think that just because you have a great backer, I, Zhu Anhuai, won't dare to touch you. I am no longer interested in that bitch Xiang Wenqing. Sooner or later, I..."
Just as he was about to get closer to her, he heard someone calling Zhu Anhuai's name from a distance. Xie Yi took the opportunity to push him away, opened the door behind him, and quickly got in.
She locked the door nervously, and then began to breathe heavily. In broad daylight, there was such a bastard. She turned around while cursing the eighteen generations of Zhu's ancestors in her heart.
The moment she turned around, Li Zeliang also came out and was zipping up his pants halfway with his right hand.
Both of them froze for half a second.
"What are you doing here?" Xieyi took the initiative and glanced at Li Zeliang's lower body unconsciously.
Li Zeliang quickly zipped up his clothes and raised his voice angrily: "This is the men's restroom, what do you think I am doing here?" This time, he finally didn't give her a good look.
Men's restroom
When Xie Yi heard his words, she quickly looked around at the furnishings. Then she was stunned, her blood rushed to her head, her face turned red like a tomato, and for a moment she didn't know how to explain or how to leave.
In a hurry, she saw the shirt in her hand and had to make up an excuse: "I knew you were in the bathroom, so I brought the shirt to you."
Yes, Not Bad.
She was quite satisfied with her ability to think quickly, so she continued, "I was afraid that you might be in a hurry to use it, Mr. Li. I was so anxious that I came in without knocking. I'm sorry."
Then, Xie Yi handed the shirt to Li Zeliang, opened the door and looked outside, and after confirming that everything was fine, he walked out with his back straightened.
At this moment, Li Zeliang was standing behind her, his face full of helplessness, and his forehead was obviously twitching.
When the banquet was over, he said goodbye to Yang Wangjie who was busy all the time.
It was April and it was raining heavily outside. Fortunately, the host was thoughtful and prepared umbrellas for every guest. Xieyi left the hotel and ran to the eaves of the bus station to avoid the rain, but she couldn't get a taxi for a long time. The rain poured down like a bucket, and that kind of momentum was not something that an umbrella could withstand. The rain was blowing everywhere violently with the wind. In just a short while, her knees and below were soaked, and her shoes were filled with water. Taxis are like this. When you have something to do, you can't get one. When you don't have anything to do, you see empty taxis running around. It's annoying to see one. At this moment, Li Zeliang's light blue Bentley drove over and slowly stopped next to Xieyi.
"Lawyer Shen, get in the car. I'll take you there." It was Ji Yingsong who rolled down the car window and spoke. He was not usually a warm-hearted person, and it was obviously Li Zeliang's idea.
While Xieyi was hesitating, Ji Yingsong had already gotten out of the car with an umbrella and opened the door for her. She was in a dilemma and couldn't refuse his kindness, so she had to get in the car obediently.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Li, I'm bothering you."
"It's not a bother. It's just a chance to thank Miss Shen for sending me the clothes in time." He teased her with narrowed eyes.
Xieyi's face was somewhat embarrassed. To those who didn't know what Li Zeliang said, it didn't sound strange at all, but...
"However, I still hope that Miss Shen will knock on the door before entering the men's restroom next time." Li Zeliang added. At this moment, there was a smile on the corner of his mouth, which was his usual comfortable and lazy look.
Xie Yi thought, next time? How could I let this happen again!
She looked at Ji Yingsong in the rearview mirror and was relieved when she saw that he didn't look abnormal. After all, if others knew about that embarrassing thing, she would lose face.
"Where is Lawyer Shen?" Ji Yingsong asked.
"Ah, just stop at the Neighborhood Crossing when you get back to the city."
Xieyi looked out the window. The car was waiting at the intersection to get on the highway. Raindrops as big as beans hit the window, but no sound could be heard inside the car. Only water marks of varying thickness flowed down one by one. In the car, music from the radio was playing.
She calmed down and listened carefully, and it seemed to be the song Karen Mok composed in "A Chinese Odyssey".
How beautiful it is for a couple to be together
Your heart is like a play, not understanding this truth
You who are fickle and change your mind, say goodbye in confusion
For whom did the lover hurried away
Who makes you remember
When love is abandoned, I hope the past will not be remembered
My heart secretly misses you at this moment
I just want you who is far away, come back and don’t leave me
However, there is no time to wait
Miss you through the wind
Instruct the evening breeze to send tenderness thousands of miles away
Pray that the stars will light up the unfinished love
Reconnecting the two hearts
Instruct the evening breeze to send tenderness thousands of miles away
Lovers' hearts are filled with unrequited love
Remember me again
Xieyi was familiar with the tune of this song, but she had a habit of listening to a song several times without ever reading the lyrics. Plus, she didn't understand Cantonese at all, so she couldn't hear the exact words of the song. She could only vaguely hear the repetition of "I instruct the evening breeze to send you my tender love for thousands of miles."
Li Zeliang lazily leaned his head against the back of the chair, half-closed his eyes, and raised the corners of his mouth, with a look of complete indulgence. His right hand was placed on his knee, and his fingertips rose and fell with the rhythm of the music. His fingers were very long, and a closer look revealed that they were really very beautiful, with nails trimmed very short, close to the skin, round and smooth, revealing a healthy pink color.
She suddenly remembered that morning when he caught her in the stairwell.
But when such beautiful fingers gently grasped her wrist, she was unable to move at all.
Suddenly, Xieyi heard his heart beating again.
If she said that she was not attracted to Li Zeliang after spending a few days with him, it would be a lie. He was indeed a man that could make many women's hearts flutter. Moreover, he was somewhat unpredictable and unpredictable in his attitude towards others, but generally he was not bad to her. Putting aside his outstanding appearance and distinguished family background, his unpredictable personality alone was enough to fascinate people.
But, is everything in this world as simple as love or not? She pretended to cough to suppress this strong feeling.
"Interesting." Li Zeliang asked with his eyes closed, "What's the name of this song?"
This question immediately interrupted Xie Yi's thoughts. Ji Yingsong in the front row didn't seem to want to reply to him at all. It seemed that Ji Muto didn't know how to listen to any songs, so was he asking her
"How about calling it "Unfinished Love"?" Xieyi thought for a moment and said.
"Unfinished love? Unfinished love. 'Let the evening breeze send you tender love', is this world full of suffering for those who love you or for those who are heartless?" When he said this, his tone did not rise. It sounded like it was not a multiple choice question, but it did not sound like a question, and it did not seem to require an answer from the other party. But in that tone, there was a hint of inexplicable melancholy.
"I didn't expect Mr. Li, who is so successful in the business world, to be such a sentimental person." Xieyi took over the conversation, "The Tao is ruthless but also has feelings. There is nothing bitter about the word 'feelings'. If you like it, you like it. If you don't like it, you don't like it. I'm just afraid that some people just pretend not to understand." As she spoke, she glanced at Ji Yingsong in front of her with a meaningful look.
Li Zeliang also looked at Ji Yingsong cheerfully. It seemed that he had also noticed the affair between Xiaolin and Ji Yingsong. At this moment, Ji Yingsong felt very uncomfortable with the two gazes from behind, and almost ran a red light.
"Alright, alright." Li Zeliang came out to smooth things over. "Your gaze works on me, but if you cast it on Yingsong, I'm afraid he won't be able to handle it."
This ambiguous remark made Xie Yi feel embarrassed. Did he mean that he had seen the displeased look she gave him when she had been criticizing him in the past, or did he mean that he had discovered that she had been looking at him unscrupulously while he was resting his eyes
At this time, Li Zeliang's cell phone rang. Xieyi couldn't recognize the Nokia model of the phone, but it looked very trendy. However, the ringtone was surprisingly old and outdated.
This hobby of his seemed very strange to anyone who had heard of it.
It was a call from Xue Qigui, the general manager of Li Group, and it was about Lantian Bay.
While listening, Li Zeliang subconsciously reached for a cigarette.
After hanging up the phone, Ji Yingsong suddenly said, "You should think twice."
Li Zeliang wanted to light a cigarette, but after a pause, he seemed to remember something and put the lighter back. "This project is the first step for Li's to enter City B. I don't want to think twice."
"I thought..." Ji Yingsong glanced at Li Zeliang through the rearview mirror.
"Yingsong, you have never been a self-righteous person before." Li Zeliang raised his head and smiled at him, interrupting Ji Yingsong's words appropriately.
That smile is a warning.
Ji Yingsong fell silent at the right time.
The rainstorm was quite fierce and lasted for a long time.
The hotel where we had dinner was near the airport in City A, a little way from the city. It was raining heavily, and although the drainage system on the highway was good, the cars still stirred up layers of mist in the air as they sped by.
Ji Yingsong's driving skills were pretty good and the car felt very stable when he sat in it, but after the car slid around a bend, Xieyi began to feel his breathing become strained.
She has always been prone to motion sickness on the highway, no matter if she's riding in a Bentley or a Xiali, she'll get motion sickness as long as there's a little bumpiness.
Wu Weiming once teased her: "You only don't get dizzy when riding the bus. It seems you can save a lot of money in your life."
"You know what? It means that my balance receptors are very functional and more fully evolved than yours."
Li Zeliang hasn't spoken since that phone call.
She didn't have the energy to talk, and tried to think of something else to divert her attention, while looking straight ahead. She didn't want to vomit all the lunch she had just eaten in Li Zeliang's car. This Bentley car, she couldn't afford to pay for it even if she worked like a cow or a horse for a lifetime.
She didn't know what happened, there was a traffic jam ahead, and there was no car coming. Looking ahead, all she could see were strings of car taillights flashing in the rainstorm with low visibility, so she simply ignored it. When she heard them mention Lantian Bay, she began to feel inexplicably irritated, and suddenly she didn't want to stay in the car, and she was disgusted with everything.
Seeing her distressed expression, Ji Yingsong hesitated for a moment and said with concern: "Lawyer Shen, there are plum candies in the car, do you want to try it?"
Xieyi didn't want to speak, just nodded gently. This thing only treats the symptoms and not the root cause, but it is good to relieve the pain.
Ji Yingsong opened the passenger seat drawer and took out a bag of candy. He held the steering wheel with one hand and passed the candy to the back with the other. Xieyi stretched out his hand but couldn't reach it.
Li Zeliang next to her was supporting his chin with one hand and looking out the window, as if it had nothing to do with him. Not to mention asking her to say a caring word, he was too lazy to even raise his hand for her, with no intention of helping her at all.
He clearly saw how miserable she was, but he had no sympathy for her at all and even said something like "Caring for women is every man's responsibility."
Xieyi was a little annoyed for a moment. Why did he dislike her for no reason after answering the phone? When he was in a good mood, he would talk nonsense and be affectionate. When he was in a bad mood, he would ignore her and treat her as invisible. He was simply moody!
She glared at the back of Li Zeliang's head fiercely, gnashing her teeth and complaining in her heart, complaining, complaining... Then she unbuckled her seat belt and took it herself.
She hadn't eaten this thing for a long time. She put a piece in her mouth. It tasted sour and a little astringent.
Fortunately, the road was clear again, and trucks, buses, and cars of all sizes began to drive in a mighty procession. In front of their car was a string of trucks, and Ji Yingsong honked his horn from time to time and went around to the front from the passing lane.
Suddenly, Li Zeliang said out of the blue: "Fasten your seat belts." His tone was lukewarm and he didn't even turn his head to look at her.
"It's okay." In fact, what she wanted to say was, it's none of your business.
So she didn't move and just stuffed the second candy into her mouth.
"Please fasten your seat belts!" Li Zeliang turned around and repeated what he had just said, adding two words.
He didn't give any orders, but spoke politely, in a lukewarm tone, which was completely different from the tone of the two people's conversation just now. It was the word "please" that made Xie Yi sound sharp and harsh.
She thought: You are not inviting me, you are forcing me, you are being hypocritical, as if you are going to kick me out of the car if I don't do what I say. So what if I don't wear a seat belt? I am happy to do so. If something goes wrong, I will contact the insurance company, and you, Li Zeliang, will not be responsible for anything. I don't know why, but Xie Yi felt like going against him.
"I feel chest tightness, dizziness, and shortness of breath. I feel suffocated when I tie it." She suppressed her anger, tried her best to resist him politely, and then turned her face away stiffly.
Li Zeliang raised his eyebrows and said, "Ms. Shen, I have never repeated what I want to say for the third time. At least, you need to listen to me in this car." This was the first time he was mean to her.
When Xieyi heard these words, she immediately turned to look at him. After staring into his eyes for two seconds without showing any weakness, she said suddenly, "Okay, stop the car and I'll get out right away. Thank you Mr. Li for giving me the ride." In an instant, she picked up her handbag and said, "Manager Ji, please pull over." Then she was about to pull the door handle, as if she was going to force her way out of the car.
