Lai Yang's pupils constricted, Yu Bo also froze in place with a look of shock on his face, and everyone else was even more confused, not knowing what was going on.
"She, she...what happened to her?"
As Yu Bo spoke, he took another half step forward, but Jia Qi was like a frightened bird. She shrank to the corner of the bed, grasping Li Liangxin's arm tightly with her fingers, and screamed.
"Don't come over here! Get out!"
Li Liangxin hugged Jiaqi and roared, and everyone's eyes fell on Yu Bo. He was still dazed, but Lai Yang had reacted and pushed Yu Bo out of the ward.
In the corridor, Yu Bo spread his hands and said, "Laiyang, is your friend mentally ill?"
Lai Yang looked at him with complicated eyes. Just when he was about to question him, he found a reporter at the end of the corridor. He looked at Lai Yang and then immediately turned around and walked away.
"Damn it!" Lai Yang cursed in a low voice.
"Who are you scolding?"
Yu Bo retorted, and the two looked at each other again.
At this time, Tian Jing walked out of the ward and said, "I will fulfill my promise to Jiaqi's illness. Laiyang, you take good care of her first. Also... come to my house for dinner tonight."
Yu Bo's face changed, and there was pain in his eyes when he looked at Lai Yang.
"Then uncle... you don't mind, right?" Lai Yang swallowed his saliva.
Tian Jing shook her head and said that her father was out, but just as she said this, a hint of complexity flashed across her beautiful eyes, which made Lai Yang realize that she must have something to say to him.
…
After Tian Jing and Yu Bo left, Hou Jun walked into the ward with a bandage on his body. After he understood what had just happened, he shouted without restraint.
"Is there such a possibility? Sister Jiaqi's father was killed by that man just now!"
Everyone looked at him as if he were a fool.
Hou Jun's expression trembled, and his neck shrank slightly: "Uh... Sorry, this may sound harsh, but is there such a possibility?"
"Probably bullshit!" Yunlu couldn't help but cursed, "Can you please stop fanning the flames?"
"I dare to light a fire?"
Hou Jun raised his bandaged hand and said with a wronged look: "Whoever gives me a fire in the future, I will be angry with him!"
"Jiaqi was only fourteen years old when her uncle passed away, and that man was at most fifteen or sixteen years old at the time. It's impossible." Li Liangxin hugged Jiaqi tighter and said.
"Then was the mine where Jiaqi's father worked at that time owned by Yu Bo?" Lai Yang asked.
Li Liangxin shook his head: "No, it's another company called Feng Mining."
After hearing this, Lai Yang's heart felt a little relieved.
To be honest, although he hated Yu Bo, he hoped that this matter had nothing to do with him.
Because Yu Ke Group and Yun Bin have already merged, if something happens to Yu Bo, it will have a great impact on Yun Bin.
Fortunately, I was wrong about this.
…
Everyone stayed in the hospital with Jiaqi to finish the infusion, and then Lai Yang and Li Liangxin took a taxi back to the community.
arrive
At the entrance of the community, Lai Yang went to buy some ingredients for hot pot. After returning to the house, he took out the pink rice cooker left by Yuan Shengda from under the kitchen cabinet.
On the coffee table, the water in the pot was boiling. Lai Yang lit a cigarette, took out his mobile phone and was about to watch a short video, but as soon as he opened it, he saw himself.
In the video, he and Yu Lie had a conflict, and the background behind them happened to be the logo of his company, Frametime Culture.
And I also brought some company photo walls, where I can clearly see the performance photos of my own Boxiao Club...
"grass!"
Lai Yang cursed angrily, but after he looked at the comments, he couldn't even say a word.
The top comment in the comment section reads: Lai Yang, the head of the Boxiao Club, was jealous of a beautiful woman and a fight broke out at the opening ceremony!
Because of this comment, netizens began to discuss crazily, who is that beautiful lady
…
The water in the pot has boiled and is steaming, but Lai Yang feels a chill on his back!
The number of likes for this video has exceeded 30,000, and the number of views is at least hundreds of thousands, and it is still rising!
Tian Jing also appeared in the video. She is so beautiful that people would not want to leave her even if there is no topic to talk about.
And now
Once this topic is added, the whole network will start to dig into it. In the end, if Yun Bin is involved, then...
The cigarette ash fell on his trouser leg, but Lai Yang didn't notice it at all.
He quickly called Gao Yunjian and angrily asked him to find a way to contact his friends and get the video removed from the shelves, quickly!
After hanging up the phone, Yunlu’s WeChat message came, and it was the video that was forwarded.
Then Song Wen called...
Lai Yang was in a state of confusion. After refusing to answer the call, he turned his phone to silent mode, turned off the boiling pot, took a coat from the bedroom, put it on, and left.
…
The "Zhaozaobang" river next to the Changji East Road subway exit in Shanghai, like an old man who has been lonely for a hundred years, tells the dusty past with its gurgling sound of water.
Lai Yang remembers that the last time he came here was in early June. The team had a commercial performance nearby. After the performance, he took a walk here. As soon as he arrived here, he was deeply surrounded by the tranquility, which made his soul empty.
At that time, the sky was blue, the clouds dotted the sky like a handful of cotton candy, and the reeds by the river were growing wildly. But now it is late autumn, the sky is gloomy and brewing an autumn rain, the fallen leaves and floating objects are sinking on the water, and the whole picture seems to be filtered with gray-green.
Lai Yang sat beside the reed marsh, his buzzing brain calmed down a little. He looked at the river for a long time, then took out a cigarette and put it to the corner of his mouth. He wanted to light it, but found that he had no lighter.
So he sat quietly with the cigarette between his fingers. After an unknown amount of time, Lai Yang suddenly heard sobbing sounds not far away.
He turned his head and looked through the gaps in the reeds, only to find a man sitting not far away, with a cigarette between his fingertips and his other hand covering his forehead, crying.
Lai Yang looked for a few seconds, stood up, brushed the dirt off his butt, and walked over.
"Dude, are you okay?"
After saying hello, the man looked up with tears in his eyes, and Lai Yang finally saw his appearance clearly.
He was a little thin, and his slightly long bangs covered his eyes a little, but even so, one could see a sense of brokenness and despair in his eyes.
Although Lai Yang was also very upset, he was worried that the man might have suicidal thoughts, so he sat next to him and comforted him.
"Brother, I don't mean to bother you. I just want to say that there is no insurmountable obstacle in life. Men can cry, but they dare not be hard on themselves. If you really feel aggrieved, you can share it with me. We don't know each other anyway."
The man looked at him with tears in his eyes, silent.
"Hey, don't look at me like that. I'm actually in a state of depression right now... How about this, can you lend me your light for a while? I'll light a cigarette and we can chat for a while?"
After staring at each other for several seconds, the man wiped away his tears, took out a lighter from his pocket and handed it to Lai Yang, and spoke intermittently.
"Today... the woman I love most... got married."
Bang!
As the flames shot out, Lai Yang's posture of lighting the fire froze. He looked up at the man, thought for a few seconds and then asked.
"Why? She found a rich man?"
"Ha, ha ha ha..."
The man smiled bitterly, but tears welled up in his eyes again: "She is not short of money, she is very rich... But there are too many shackles tied to us... We have been through so many ups and downs together, even... even faced life and death moments. I thought we would definitely break through the shackles and be together for the rest of our lives, but in the end... in the end, she became someone else's bride... Nothing has changed, and I am back to square one with painful memories!"
After hearing these words, Lai Yang was completely stunned.
For some reason, Lai Yang heard the story of himself and Tian Jing in these words.
Somehow... kind of.
Lai Yang exhaled a long puff of smoke and said, "The past cannot be retrieved, my friend, let it be the past... I, I don't know how to advise you, and I don't know what your relationship has been through, but I think at least... at some point in time, you were happy, and she must have loved you deeply... right?"
"… "
The man stared at Lai Yang for a long time before turning his head back to look at the water of Juezao Bay and saying in a serious tone, "Yes."
"Well, that's fine. So life can never go back to the starting point. The story is still being written and is far from over. Maybe at the next corner, the trajectory of life will overlap again?"
“… You’re really good at comforting people.” The man finally relaxed a little and said.
"Hehe, of course I am. I am a pessimistic optimist, and I also work in the language field. Oh, and by the way, let's be friends if we meet by chance. My name is Laiyang."
Lai Yang stretched out his hand. The man paused for a few seconds and then slowly stretched out his hand as well.
"Gao Ran."
