Ling Tianyi still ignored the ringing and just had dinner with Xia Xiaoluo. When she went to take a shower, Ling Tianyi remembered that someone had been calling him.
“36 missed calls here!”
“Yao Sheng!”
“You bum-boy finally dares to call me.”
“I want to know how you explain to me!”
Ling Tianyi went to the bathroom, and wanted to push the door. But he found that Xia Xiaoluo locked the door inside.
When Xia Xiaoluo heard the shaking of the doorknob, she was afraid that Ling Tianyi would break in. So she washed the foam from her body in a hurry and shouted. “I’ll get out soon.”
“Take it easy; you can take it slowly. I’ll go out for a while.” Ling Tianyi said. He must find Yao Sheng as soon as possible. He did not want to remind Xia Xiaoluo with the scary thing happened in Hot Spring Villa, so he did not tell Xia Xiaoluo what he was going to do.
“Well, darling, drive carefully!” Xia Xiaoluo shouted, because she was afraid Ling Tianyi could not hear it.
“I know, just stay at home. I will be back soon.” He brought his coat, jumped into his newly bought Maserati and drove away.
The phone rang again. Ling Tianyi looked at the caller ID and answered the phone.
“Hey! Why didn’t you answer my phone?” Yao Sheng questioned him directly at the other side.
“It’s my turn to ask you, isn’t it?” Ling Tianyi said coldly in a cynical tone.
Since Yao Sheng helped Sun Pengyu who kidnapped Xia Xiaoluo to escape, Ling Tianyi almost called Yao Sheng for many times, but Yao Sheng never answered. Now Yao Sheng came back, he only made dozens of calls, but he was impatient. Ling Tianyi became even angrier when he thought of it.
“Where are you now?” Yao Sheng asked angrily.
“I’m driving, just arriving at your parking garage.” Ling Tianyi hung up.
When Yao Sheng opened his door and saw Ling Tianyi’s unhappy face, he was seized and beaten by Ling Tianyi before he could say anything.
“Hey! What’s wrong with you?” In fact, Yao Sheng was well-trained as a professional detective, but he did not fight against Ling Tianyi, and just avoided silently.
Ling Tianyi hit him for a moment, feeling bored. He wanted Yao Sheng to fight back with his fists, not hitting a motionless sandbag.
Ling Tianyi sat on the sofa, grabbed a tin of beer on the tea table and poured it into his stomach.
“How can you explain to me?” Ling Tianyi leaned on the sofa, waiting for Yao Sheng’s explanation.
“The cleaner who kidnapped your darling Xia Xiaoluo is a friend of my darling!” Yao Sheng looked like a ruffian. Although he should have explained what had happened that day to Ling Tianyi in detail, and hoped that Ling Tianyi would not keep track of the matter. But what he said was unpleasant.
Yao Sheng wore casually. After he was beaten by Ling Tianyi, his T-shirt was broken.
Yao Sheng sat on the leather footstool opposite to Ling Tianyi and combed his messy hair with hands, “I am almost 30 years old, and finally fell in love with a girl. When I tried my best to pursue my love, you should help me. What’s more, Xia Xiaoluo was fine, wasn’t she?”
Ling Tianyi got mad at Yao Sheng’s attitude. So he kicked Yao Sheng to the ground.
“Stop, OK?” Yao Sheng sat on the bare wooden floor, and didn’t want to stand up.
“How dare you hurt my wife for Shen Jiani? She is just a bitch.” Ling Tianyi rushed to Yao Sheng and grabbed his broken collar. He felt furious. If Yao Sheng was not his best friend since childhood, he would kill him.
“Bitch? You can’t insult Jiani!” Yao Sheng was angry too. As one of his best friends, Ling Tianyi could hit or scold him, but he couldn’t insult his lover.
Yao Sheng punched Ling Tianyi. He forgot that he wanted to explain what had happened that day for reconciliation with him.
“I come to see you today. How dare you fight me!” Ling Tianyi was strong. He fought against Yao Sheng immediately.
Yao Sheng wanted to be beaten at the beginning because he wanted to suppress Ling Tianyi’s anger. But now it was different. Yao Sheng also became angry, so they fought with each other relentlessly.
In the end, both of them were injured and suffered.
They were injured seriously, sat on the floor, used up all their energy and relieved their grievances.
“Women are more important than brothers to you. For a woman, you dare to release the man who kidnapped my wife and send away his father who was cleared up by the police. You’re really something! You dare to betray me and help those people escape from my entanglement.” Ling Tianyi said calmly, because he was tired.
“Jiani said that the kidnapper’s brother was her classmate, who died for her. She must help him. I couldn’t refuse her. It was the first time that Jiani asked me for help.” Yao Sheng said calmly.
“Women are more important than friends!” Ling Tianyi once again used this sentence to describe Yao Sheng.
“You too. For Xia Xiaoluo, you even fight your brother.” Yao Sheng glared at Ling Tianyi and continued, “Man can sacrifice himself for his brothers. On the contrary, you can sacrifice your brothers for a woman.”
“You are wrong! You found Xia Xiaoluo, but you didn’t save her! Instead, you helped the kidnapper to escape.” Ling Tianyi said.
“Well, what’s the matter with your sweetheart? Is everything all right now?” Yao Sheng asked. He knew Xia Xiaoluo did not suffer much except a few scratches on her neck. After all, he was protecting her. But girls were timid, so she must be scared.
“If something happens to her, do you think you will be okay? Do you think you can stay in Macao that long? Do you think you can send the kidnapper and his father away safely? Yao Sheng, as long as I want to punish those guys, even if you are so smart, it’s no use.” Ling Tianyi said strictly.
“You’re still my friend!” Yao Sheng said. Then he took two bottles of beer on the tea table, and threw one to Ling Tianyi, “Have a drink!”
They cheered and drank it up at once.
“If you drink beers, does that mean you forgive me?” Yao Sheng asked, although he knew the answer.
“I can release the kidnapper and his family because of you. But as your friend, I have to tell you that Shen Jiani’s private life is so messy. She made love with many people.”
“Although you are not handsome, rich, or capable like me, you don’t have to marry someone like Shen Jiani. If you want to get married, I can introduce a lot of girls for you, and certainly they are better than Shen Jiani!” Ling Tianyi said continuously.
Ling Tianyi really cared about Yao Sheng, although he was very angry with him. However, friendship of more than 20 years was not so easy to cut down.
“If I have the strength, I will beat you! I warn you not to speak ill of Jiani. She is a good girl. I love her, and I don’t mind her past. What I want is the present and future. Don’t worry, I will be Shen Jiani’s last man.” Yao Sheng said without confidence. Although he has been pestering Shen Jiani for a long time, and even helped her to do something betraying his friend, Shen Jiani still didn’t love him.
“Am I still afraid of you? Anyway, you are not suitable for each other. Hit me if you can.” Ling Tianyi was too tired to move, but he still refused to compromise.
“In three years, I’m going to marry her. I’ll give my lover the most romantic wedding. At that time, you can see my happiness.” Yao Sheng imagined what he would look like when he got married. He wore a suit, and Shen Jiani wore a white wedding dress. They stood in the church and Yao Sheng felt so happy when he thought of it.
Ling Tianyi did not think about Yao Sheng at the moment, he thought of Xia Xiaoluo. As Yao Sheng was only a man born with silver spoon, he wanted to give his lover a romantic wedding. But he only took Xia Xiaoluo to the United States to marry him. What was more, their honeymoon trip was only to go shopping with Xia Xiaoluo in the United States. Most of the time in the United States, Ling Tianyi was working at their branch company.
Ling Tianyi felt sorry for Xia Xiaoluo. So he decided to hold the most romantic and luxurious wedding ceremony at an appropriate time to make Xia Xiaoluo become the most excited woman.
“By the way, I met Xia Xiaoluo’s rival in Macao.” Yao Sheng said suddenly.
“Xia Jingru?” Ling Tianyi reflected the name in his head immediately.
“You are right! Plus 10 points!” Yao Sheng joked.
“The vicious woman almost killed Xiaoluo. If it is not for Xiaoluo, I will go to Macao to take her back.” Whenever Ling Tianyi thought of Xia Xiaoluo’s kind and generous character, he felt helpless. If he forcibly punished Xia Jingru, Xia Xiaoluo would not forgive him, or even get angry with him!
“You have to do it! If you don’t put pressure on Xia Youfeng, they will settle in Macao and never come back. In order to offset what I did before, I investigated their whereabouts. They booked the tickets back to A City on the early morning of October 7. The whole family will personally ask for the forgiveness from you and Xia Xiaoluo. Your mother-in-law also bought you some presents. I investigated a lot of other things and made a report in detail. I’ll email you later. You can check it.” Yao Sheng said. He knew Ling Tianyi would not let Xia Jingru go easily, so he made some investigation in hope to compensate for his mistakes.
