Chapter 690: One side of the world
After Wen Li sent Qi Yu away, she returned to Jinzhou and was busy dealing with big and small matters every day. More than half a month passed in a flash. During this time, she had no news from Lu Xixiao and they just lost contact.
Jiang Yingbai felt worried as he watched Wen Li getting thinner and thinner.
Jiang Yingbai, who was worried about Wen Li, followed Wen Li around every day. Wen Li was fed up with him, so he arranged some things for Jiang Yingbai to do, and then he went to the border for a few days. When he came back, he had some injuries on his body, and he was really exhausted both physically and mentally.
Jiang Yingbai: "How did you get hurt? Why did you go to a dangerous place in your state? Let me see if you are seriously injured? This Lu Xixiao is really something. He can kill Qi Yu if he wants to, but he doesn't want to kill him if he doesn't want to. How can he let you misunderstand that he killed someone?"
Wen Li interrupted him: "How is it going?"
Jiang Yingbai reported: "Gali gets one-third, Jinzhou and Nanyang each get two-fifths, and Country T gets one-fifth. Country T also wants one-third, but we and Nanyang are holding it back. Country T is really asking for nothing. If it weren't for their geographical advantage, we wouldn't give them a cent. Everything has been divided up, and the agreement has been signed."
Wen Li responded and prepared to go to Gali tomorrow, or to be more precise, to the new territory of Jinzhou. There was no Gali in this world anymore.
Jiang Yingbai mustered up his courage and said tentatively, "Sister Li, there's a lot going on in Jinzhou. Gali is a chaotic mess with all sorts of forces. It won't be cleared up in a few months. Don't bother with anything yourself. You're still a student, and it's been a while since you've been back to see your grandmother. Why don't we go back home first?"
Wen Li ate quietly without saying a word.
Jiang Yingbai bit his chopsticks, observing Wen Li's expression. He picked up a piece of meat for Wen Li and continued, "Lu Xixiao deliberately made you misunderstand that he was not doing a good job, but I can actually understand why he did that. He just wanted to see your attitude, test his weight in your heart, and test whether you would give up him for Qi Yu. He and Lu Jingyuan are both victims. It's really pitiful. If I were him, I might not be able to compromise for love like him and let Qi Yu go. Why don't you go back and look for him? You and Lu Xixiao have been hurt enough. If it ends because of Qi Yu in the end, it really is not worth it."
Jiang Yingbai sighed inwardly.
Looking back at last year, it was unbelievable enough that Lu Xixiao sat next to him after a breakup. Although he didn't like Lu Xixiao at that time, he was the head of the Lu family, the overlord of the business world, and the governor of Nanyang.
Never thought about it.
As a result, this year, his sister Li, who was as strong and tough as steel, was also trapped in love. She was also sitting next to him. He was not surprised at all that he suffered in love, and it was completely reasonable. But it was really unbelievable and difficult to accept that Wen Li suffered in love.
Can't even think about it.
Jiang Yingbai couldn't help but wonder if he was destined to be unlucky or poisonous. Not only did he have to suffer the pain of love, but so did the people around him.
Seeing Wen Li didn't respond, Jiang Yingbai continued to persuade: "I know you are proud, but being too proud in relationships can easily lead to losses. Lu Xixiao has done so much for you, so why don't you buy him a gift and comfort him? Just say you are going back to see General Lu Jingyuan. He is very smart and can guess it."
Jiang Yingbai spoke kindly and gently, coaxing rather than persuading. He also gave Wen Li advice, asking her to use Lu Jingyuan as an excuse to blacken the general, as he was afraid that the strong-willed Wen Li would not be able to lose face.
However, this is not a question of face at all, otherwise she would have directly chased Lu Xixiao's helicopter in Nanyang at that time.
Jiang Yingbai felt frustrated when he saw Wen Li still showing no reaction.
Leo's parents seemed to sense the departure of their child. Their originally healthy bodies began to suffer from various illnesses and became devastated. Although they were still in their prime, they looked old in a short period of time.
After dinner, Wen Li went to check on Leo's parents.
Ah Ming is here too.
Ah Ming always wanted to ask Wen Liqi Yu where he was, but he didn't dare.
Leo was buried by Ah Ming in the backyard of Zhou Chang's mansion, where there were trees and water, and the lawn next to it was where Leo often played around.
Somehow, the place where Leo was buried seemed to be attracting his parents, and his parents always looked in that direction.
Wen Li: "Where did the little lion come from?"
A lion cub appeared beside Leo's parents at some point.
Ah Ming hurriedly said, "I bought them. They must have sensed Leo's death, and Brother Qi is also..." he was not there. Realizing he had said the wrong thing, Ah Ming quickly stopped and said, "If this continues, I'm afraid they won't be able to hold on, so I bought a lion cub, thinking it could replace Leo."
Wen Li looked at the two lions lying on the ground, still looking listless, and the little lion hiding far away, searching for an exit. He said, "Lions have a strong sense of territory. Let people watch over them. If they don't accept the little lion, send it away or raise it separately."
Ah Ming: "Okay."
After seeing the lion, Wen Li prepared to leave.
Ah Ming stopped her and apologized to her, "Sister Wen. I'm sorry about what happened last time. I know Brother Qi was wrong, but I was so scared that he would really die. I didn't expect to put you in such a difficult situation."
Wen Li: "I know, I'm not angry."
Ah Ming: "Sister Wen, go find that guy. Although I can't accept you being with him, I don't want to see you suffer even more."
Wen Li said with a smile: "How can you tell that I'm upset?"
Ah Ming whispered, "Even Ah Lin noticed it."
Wen Li raised his hand and patted the side of his head: "I'm going to go out for a walk."
Wen Li walked aimlessly out of the Governor's Mansion and unknowingly arrived at Sailu Square. Looking at the familiar steps, the image of Lu Xixiao wearing a heavy doll costume to make her happy flashed before her eyes. Thinking of Lu Xixiao's silly look, she smiled unconsciously.
She arrogantly drove everyone away, occupied the best viewing spot, and sat on the steps alone in a daze.
She hated having her wounds seen by others and was very resistant to others peeping into her weakness. She had always handled everything by herself and did not like to talk about things or let others know. Ever since she met Lu Xixiao, Lu Xixiao could always sense her emotions and find ways to share her burden, just like the last time she questioned and punished Qi Yu, she also came out alone to relax and digest it out of habit. She asked Lu Xixiao not to follow her, but Lu Xixiao still came.
But this time, Lu Xixiao will not come to her or coax her again.
