This is how we met
Lan Weiwei forcefully held back her tears and turned around. Suddenly, she saw Ji Shangqing, who was standing behind her at an unknown time, and her entire body froze.
The wind blew Ji Shangqing"s perspiring short hair. He squinted and asked, "Did your dad ask you for money?"
Lan Weiwei felt embarra.s.sed and just held her phone tightly without saying a word.
"Do you want to help your gambling ghost father fill in the debt all the time? Lan Weiwei, filial piety shouldn"t be like this. " Ji Shangqing looked at the tears that were hidden in her eyes. He knew that her heart was definitely in pain and she was helpless. However, as a child, did she feel that it was her duty?
"What can I do? I don"t know what to do. I can"t just watch as they cut off my father"s hands and break his legs. " Lan Weiwei raised her hand and covered her face. She felt ashamed to see him again.
Having such a father was the greatest disaster and misfortune of her life.
"How about, you let him come over and work at my company?" Ji Shangqing suddenly suggested.
Lan Weiwei put down her hands. With tears in her eyes, she looked at him with disbelief. "Are you willing to give him a job?"
I heard that you guys had some money before Lan Family, but after that business failed, and your father suffered a lot of blows, causing him to lose his will. He had to rely on gambling to make use of this opportunity and turn the tables, to show off his past glory, but, he did not know that gambling is just a pit, and if you jump into it, you will never be able to climb out. Ji Shangqing had a good understanding of Lan Family as well.
Lan Weiwei looked even more embarra.s.sed. "You even investigated my home?"
"I only care about you. I don"t have any other intentions." Ji Shangqing walked towards her. Seeing her tears falling, he frowned and said to her, "Lan Weiwei, have you ever resisted this kind of fate before?"
"Yes, I want to die. Just now, I even wanted to jump down from here. Do you believe me?" Lan Weiwei laughed at herself.
"If I die, there"s nothing left." Ji Shangqing"s heart skipped a beat. He didn"t expect that there would be people who would still be willing to face death with all their might. How hopeless was this?
"To live so painfully and not have any hope at all, I might as well die!" Lan Weiwei bit her lower lip as if she was relieved.
"Since you have the courage to seek death, why don"t you have the courage to live on? It seems like the heavens have arranged for you to meet me so that you could have a chance to be reborn. If you are willing to follow me, I can ensure that you will have no worries in the future. " Ji Shangqing was shocked by Lan Weiwei"s empty eyes. He suddenly wanted to give her hope to continue living.
"Ji Shangqing, you don"t need to be so nice to me. I"ve already forgiven you. Don"t worry, I won"t tell anyone about what happened that night. I know you didn"t mean to hurt me." Lan Weiwei"s heart was clear. Everything Ji Shangqing did now, in her opinion, he seemed to be deliberately trying to please and bribe her.
"You already know about it?" Ji Shangqing didn"t have the uneasy feeling of being seen through, he only lightly smiled.
"Yes, I know what you mean. I was afraid that I would call the police and that your reputation would be ruined. So, you treated me so well that you even called me to your side to do things." Lan Weiwei"s eyes were filled with grief.
"Lan Weiwei, I"m really afraid of losing everything. If you call the police, I"m done for!" Ji Shangqing stared at her and spoke of his weakness without fear.
"I thought people with your status wouldn"t be afraid of anything. If you commit a crime, you can use the money to bribe them." Lan Weiwei mocked.
"Don"t a.s.sume that we can do anything. Before the law, anyone should have a fearful att.i.tude." Ji Shangqing said lightly.
"You"re right!" The corner of Lan Weiwei"s mouth raised into a smile. She suddenly felt that she had something to admire from Ji Shangqing.
"Come in and eat!" Ji Shangqing turned around.
Lan Weiwei lowered her head and followed behind him. Her previous desire to die had long since disappeared.
Lan Yanxi had dressed up for her journey. There was only one suitcase left and she was in too much of a hurry to leave this time. She didn"t bring any clothes or makeup and only bought them as she walked.
Ling Mofeng"s a.s.sistant came over to help her carry the luggage to the trunk. Lan Yanxi got into the car and sat in the back.
Looking at the scenery as she retreated backwards, it was as if her heart was still hanging in midair, unable to land on the ground.
She didn"t know if her decision was right or wrong. Previously, she risked her life to escape, but she didn"t expect that in the end, she would escape to Ling Mofeng"s side.
When she called her grandpa just now, she knew that she was acquainted with Ling Mofeng and had decided to be together with him. Not only did her grandpa not scold her, he was also very happy and told her to take good care of Ling Mofeng and get his favor.
Grandpa is really determined to sell her to Ling Mofeng.
The place where the car stopped was still the same white building where she had come to eat.
The a.s.sistant stood by her side quietly with her luggage and asked: "Miss Lan, which guest room do you plan to stay?"
"You can arrange it!" Lan Yanxi said politely to him.
Although Ling Mofeng just said with a dark face that she could live as far as she wanted, she knew it was just angry words and she was just saying them all. If Ling Mofeng was really a bad guy, then she wouldn"t be safe anywhere.
"Miss Lan, don"t think so badly of our husband. He is actually a very good person." The deputy couldn"t resist saying a few words of praise for his husband.
"He"s your boss, of course you"ll think he"s a good person." Lan Yanxi mocked.
Deputy: "..." There was nothing wrong with that.
He stopped outside a guest room, pushed open the door and handed the box to her: "Miss Lan, rest early!"
"Where does Ling Mofeng live?" Lan Yanxi suddenly asked.
"Teacher lives in the room next to yours." The a.s.sistant smiled.
"Huh?" Lan Yanxi couldn"t help but stare at him. Was this an intentional arrangement?
The a.s.sistant laughed dryly, "Miss Lan, you can relax. I hope that you can have a chance to talk to Sir!"
"You"re being considerate!" Lan Yanxi rolled her eyes and closed the door.
It was already past 10 pm. Looking at the clean and elegant guest room, Lan Yanxi threw herself onto the bed, rolled around with the blanket and buried herself in it.
The newly washed quilt smelled like dry and sweet after being exposed to the sun. Living here was much more relaxing than staying in a hotel.
Lan Yanxi rolled again and sat up. She saw a small refrigerator next to her, with water and fruits on the table beside it.
Lan Yanxi walked over, took an apple and took a bite, sweet and crisp.
Lan Yanxi couldn"t help but stick her body against the wall. She wanted to hear what was going on in the next room.
In the end, he found that the soundproofing effect was too good. He could not hear anything.
She ran to a small balcony nearby, and as soon as she turned, she saw another balcony a meter away from her. A man in a dark blue nightgown, a cigarette in his hand, was staring at her.
