Cen Xi still had things to do in the capital. After translating for Ling Hui’s father, she rushed back overnight.
After Ling Hui sent Cen Xi to the airport, she drove back to the villa.
Mother Dai had packed her luggage and was about to leave when Ling Hui called and asked her to wait for her return.
Mother Dai had thought that she would be in a better mood after the divorce. In the end, she felt even more depressed and miserable.
Her feelings for Dai Lang were so deep!
They were really divorced. It was like someone had grabbed her heart. It was hard to breathe.
When Ling Hui returned, Mother Dai was sitting in the yard in a daze, looking at the flowerbed that was planted with roses.
Although the flowers there had already withered, Mother Dai remembered that Dai Lang had spent a night planting it secretly for their wedding anniversary.
When she woke up the next day, she was surprised and touched to see a sea of beautiful flowers.
There were too many beautiful memories, but they could not compare to the cruel reality…
“Mom.”
Hearing Ling Hui call her, Mother Dai slowly regained her senses. She wiped the tears on her face and waved her hand at Ling Hui. “Come and sit.”
Ling Hui sat beside her.
Madam Dai was sitting on a swing full of flower vines, which Dai Lang had built for her personally.
“How’s your father?”
Ling Hui looked at her red and swollen eyes and sighed silently. “Mom, you and Dad were so in love before. Do you really believe that he will betray you?”
Madam Dai did not want to believe it, but…
“I received photos of them hugging and saw the message she sent to your father. The last message was that your father agreed to elope with her and the two of them were going to Mountain Cang. Mountain Cang was not developed back then. Wasn’t he going there to die for love? With so much evidence in front of me, how could I not believe it?”
“Mommy, when you were sick, Daddy was so anxious that his hair turned white. We almost thought that there was no more hope for you. Do you know who saved you?”
At the mention of her illness back then, Mrs Dai was moved. “I was very touched when your father never left me, but that can’t be the reason why he cheated on me!”
“It was Tang Xi’s mother who saved you back then. In order not to let you misunderstand, she didn’t even let Dad tell you.”
Madam Dai stood up from the swing in shock. “What? She’s the one who donated the kidney to me?”
Ling Hui grabbed her slightly cold and trembling hand and pulled her to sit down again. “Mom, I talked to Dad a lot today. I think that her relationship with Dad wasn’t like what you think.”
“There must be something that we don’t know about.”
Mother Dai was still in shock. “W-What happened?” If Yu’er really wanted to be the third party between her and Dai Lang, there was no need to save her.
“I’m going to the capital to clarify things.” Ling Hui did not want a good family to break up like this. She knew that her parents still loved each other deeply. “Mom, before this, can you take care of Dad?”
When she thought of how Dai Lang had taken care of her when she was sick, she felt a sense of guilt.
“Huihui, will there be any danger if you go and check?”
“Mom, I’ll be careful.”
…
Ling Hui thought that she would only come to the capital when Gu Meng got married. She had not expected that she would come again in just two to three days.
She did not go to Tang Xi immediately to tell him about her father and his mother.
Not until the person she sent reported to her that Father Tang had taken Liu Ping on a business trip.
After Ling Hui arrived in the capital, she stayed in a hotel.
That evening, Ling Hui went to the hotel’s buffet restaurant for dinner. When she came out, she met Young Master Qin who had been at the bar the other time.
The contact number Ling Hui she had given Young Master Qin was not hers but a random number.
Young Master Qin thought that he would never see Ling Hui again. He didn’t expect to meet her at the hotel.
“Beauty, what a coincidence. We meet again.” Young Master Qin looked at the woman whose beautiful back was exposed in a dark green dress and sighed in his heart. This woman really amazed him every time he saw her.
Ling Hui looked at Young Master Qin. Her long hair was spread over her shoulders and she looked cold and charming. “Young Master Qin?”
Young Master Qin was surprised. “It’s rare for a beauty to remember me. I called you several times, but your phone was always turned off. Did you change your number?”
Young Master Qin had a high EQ. He knew that she had given him a fake number, but he did not expose her and gave her a way out.
Ling Hui’s red lips curved. “Yes.”
“It’s a good thing that you changed your number. I wonder if you’re free tonight. I’m meeting a few friends to play at the clubhouse. If you’re free, can we go together?” Worried that Ling Hui wouldn’t go, Young Master Qin added, “There are girls going too. Don’t worry. Although I like to flirt with girls, I never act like a gangster.”
Ling Hui was amused by Young Master Qin’s words. “Is Tang Xi going?”
Young Master Qin seemed to be stunned for a moment before he regained his senses and raised an eyebrow. “Could it be that Miss Ling won’t go to places with Ah Xi anymore?”
Ling Hui tucked a strand of hair behind her ears and lifted her chin slightly, looking arrogant and cold. “What’s there to be afraid of?”
Young Master Qin really admired her personality.
…
In a high-class clubhouse.
Smoke filled the air, and the sound of cards being shuffled mixed with laughter.
“I say, Brother Xi, Yanyan asked about you today. She said that she’s sad that you didn’t look for her even when you’re coming here!”
Tang Xi had a cigarette in his mouth and his long upturned eyes were half closed, looking lazy and devilish. “Don’t you think there are tons of women who miss me?”
“Yes, yes, yes. Brother Xi, you’re the most charming. I heard that you’re dating the daughter of the Lin family recently?”
Before Tang Xi could say anything, he heard a young man shout, “Qin Zi, you have a girlfriend? Oh, she’s wonderful!”
Young Master Qin chuckled. “I’m still chasing her!” With that said, he led the way for Ling Hui like a gentleman. “Do you want to play cards, sing, drink, or play billiards?”
“Let’s play!”
“Alright, I’ll accompany you.”
Tang Xi’s back was facing the door. When he heard Young Master Qin coming, he turned around.
The corners of his eyes twitched.
The woman who said she would never appear in front of him had actually come with Qin Zi.
The two of them were still talking and laughing as they went to play billiards.
The dark green dress she was wearing made her skin look as fair as jade, revealing a small portion of her beautiful back. Her figure was slender and graceful.
Ling Hui knew that Tang Xi was playing cards in the room, but she did not look at him.
Before she arrived, Tang Xi had always won. But after she came, his mind was clearly not on the cards, so he kept losing.
It did not matter if he lost money, but from time to time, when he heard her and Young Master Qin’s laughter, although Tang Xi still had a smile on his face, when one looked closely, there was a hint of anger.
After losing another round, Tang Xi had no interest in continuing.
He walked to the sofa and sat down to drink alone.
Ling Hui glanced at Tang Xi from the corner of her eye. Seeing that he had drunk quite a bit, she said to Young Master Qin, “I need to go back for my beauty sleep.”
“I’ll drive you.”
“Sure.”
Tang Xi, who was sitting on the sofa, narrowed his eyes and watched the two of them leave one after another. His expression darkened slightly.
