Chapter 665: The Story Within the Story

The kapok flowers had reached their withering period, and were much more withered than the flourishing ones he had seen in Qian Town.

The panic in her eyes, wanting to distance herself from the truth, hurt Zhao Sheng.

Those past events that he couldn't let go seemed to be nothing in her eyes. He raised the corners of his mouth and smiled, his eyes full of self-mockery and disappointment.

Lin Yiyi didn't want to be involved in the past embarrassment anymore, so she didn't want to contact him anymore.

"…I, I work as a maid in someone else's house, and the address is not mine, so, so I won't leave it."

She and he don't need a relationship where they can reminisce about the past, so it would be better if they don't meet in the future.

"No matter what the reason is, when you come to Hong Kong, having money in your hands is the most important thing. Don't get angry with it."

Lin Yiyi folded the money and stuffed it into the pocket of his short-sleeved shirt without permission.

She moved closer to him for a moment, then quickly distanced herself from him. She apologized again, "Comrade Zhao Sheng, I'm really sorry."

Apart from asking that question, Zhao Sheng remained silent. Every time he heard her say a word, he felt more uncomfortable.

He had no idea what she meant.

No matter how nice the words are, they are just attempts to get rid of him.

For some reason, he suddenly felt more resentment and hatred towards her. Considering his self-esteem as a man, he just said in a cold voice, "Don't be a thief next time, or I will beat you up every time I see you."

Frightened by his ferocious look, Lin Yiyi took two steps back, looked at him with some fear, and did not dare to take out the egg tarts left in the bag.

I guess he wouldn't want it even if I gave it to him.

Finally, Zhao Sheng looked at her deeply again before turning and leaving.

After the matter was resolved, Lin Yiyi breathed a sigh of relief. A taxi happened to pass by, so she got in and went back to Ding's house in the Mid-Levels.

I don’t have to go to this suburb anymore, and the bad things I encountered last year have come to an end.

After returning to the Ding family, Lin Yiyi started to calculate that by this summer, all her debts would be paid off.

Life can also develop in a good direction.

Unfortunately, no matter how well things are planned, there will always be omissions.

…

Life within the walls always has an extra layer of protection, while the world outside is more cruel.

On the rainy night when he arrived in Gang City, Zhao Sheng ran into Yang Wanchun. What happened between him and He Qi in the north had nothing to do with him, and he was too lazy to get involved. The two met in a foreign land and temporarily became fellow travelers.

However, Yang Wanchun seemed to be luckier than him, and he found his cousin's house under the identity of "Wang Tao".

With the help of their uncle who is a policeman, the household registration of the two was quickly completed. Otherwise, they would have been in the dark and would have been lost.

He also followed his "cousin's" advice and made friends with the small fry in the territory, and worked as an informant to pass information between the two sides to make a living.

How could Zhao Sheng be content to just earn enough to eat when he arrived at a place where there was no need to worry about anything and there were not so many rules and regulations? After two days of running around the city to get familiar with the land, he found a way to make more money.

Hong Kong is different from the north. No matter what business you do, there are rules, and these rules are governed by the black and white factions.

He couldn't reach the white ones, so naturally he could only join gangs.

The three major gangs in Hong Kong are involved in different industries. If you want to make it, you naturally choose the most profitable 7X2K. Small fights will only waste time.

After passing various physical fitness screenings, Zhao Sheng squeezed into the Li Zi branch with his skills and talents, which required little work and high pay.

Yang Wanchun could only continue to make a living on the streets.

Meeting Lin Yiyi at the branch was unexpected. Zhao Sheng asked other people about Lin Yiyi's situation and found out how she came to Hong Kong City and in whose family she worked as a servant.

He had met Ding Li, and he and Ding Yan were not on good terms. Naturally, the relationship between half-brothers was not very close.

People go to high places, and water flows to low places.

Knowing that she had a stable and good place to live, she naturally looked down on him who had nothing.

Zhao Sheng decided to let go of Lin Yiyi and focus on his career.

But less than half a month later, the other party came to him again.

Next to the warehouse, Lin Yiyi, who was so lazy, took a broom and pretended to be diligent to help sweep the floor.

She talked to the man behind her back intentionally or unintentionally, but he pretended not to hear her.

She was extremely anxious and threw a note to him, but Zhao Sheng dodged it and could not see her lip-syncing to him.

The cold attitude means that you really don't want to pay attention to her.

Seeing that she was absent-minded and always sweeping the same place, Ah De kindly said, "Xiao Yi, Brother Yan is not here today, and it seems that he will not come over.

You've been waiting for almost two hours, why don't you go back first? Come back another day."

"..." She was looking for Ding Yan, but actually she was looking for Zhao Sheng to get the bracelet back.

Lin Yiyi and Ah De smiled and tried to find an excuse to delay the time. "It's alright, I'll help you clean up before you leave."

A De didn't try to persuade him anymore and went outside to hit the sandbag.

It turned out that in the north, due to the general environment, Zhao Sheng couldn't do anything bad, and coupled with the feeling of indebtedness at the time, Lin Yiyi gave him the bracelet.

Now that he has come to Gang City, he seems to be in the same boat with Ding Yan and Ding Li.

Thinking back to last year's Mid-Autumn Festival, when Ding Li came back with a bloody smell on his body, he was afraid that Zhao Sheng would also encounter some danger and do something else.

Maybe she will be the one who is unlucky.

The bracelet was blessed by a master. It is hard to say whether it works or not. I am afraid it may not work for good or work for bad.

Lin Yiyi was very concerned about her life and had been very nervous for several days, so she shamelessly ran to him and asked for the bracelet.

Zhao Sheng had already decided to break up with her. His heart was harder than stone and he was unwilling to pay any attention to her.

There were other people in the warehouse besides Lin Yiyi and Zhao Sheng. She tried to talk to Zhao Sheng, but he ignored her.

After much grinding and sweeping, the floor was finally clean, but he didn't even respond.

One is unwilling to care, and the other is very clingy.

Lin Yiyi held the broom in her hand and leaned over to talk to him again, but her voice was pitifully small, "…It's almost noon, how about I treat you to a meal?"

Zhao Sheng glanced at her coldly, sneered, and didn't respond.

"..." He didn't even want to talk to her, so it was probably impossible to ask for the bracelet directly.

Lin Yiyi looked to the side and saw that no one else was looking this way, so she took another half step towards him and said, "Can you pay attention to me?

Although I stole your money before, didn’t I double the compensation? Even the money for food and clothes was included.”

"You didn't disagree with the compensation plan at the time, and the matter has been made clear. If we don't say we are friends, there is no need to make it like we are enemies."

Hearing her putting the blame on him, Zhao Sheng sneered in his heart. He didn't bother with her, but she moved closer to him.

"Invite me to dinner? Then let's go."

He wanted to see what tricks she would play next. Having been fooled by her once, there would never be a second time.

Seeing that she had persuaded him, Lin Yiyi's eyes suddenly lit up, "I'll go out first, see you at the intersection in ten minutes."

The two of them left the warehouse one after the other and took a taxi to the city.

Although Lin Yiyi said she would treat us to a meal, the place she chose was not a high-end restaurant. She only found a famous tea restaurant on Dunmi Road.

She took a menu and placed it in front of him, smiling brightly and attentively, "Just order whatever you want to eat."

Zhao Sheng didn't bother to be polite with her and pointed at several places. The waiter wrote them down and announced the names of the dishes again.

Stir-fried beef with Chinese cabbage, roast goose, steamed grouper, three shrimps and Chinese kale, chicken wings with rice, a cup of milk tea…

Lin Yiyi wanted to hit someone after hearing this. Can they finish all this?

She was stingy with money, so she tried not to look at the prices on the menu and only ordered a cup of lemon tea for herself.

It was getting close to noon, and it was time for lunch. More people came to the tea restaurant. Ding Li finished his work in the warehouse on the tenth floor and was about to call the waiter at the tea restaurant to bring up the food.

But considering the hidden staircase that was under repair, he changed his mind.

When he got downstairs, before he even walked in, a familiar figure in the tea restaurant caught Ding Li's attention.

He didn't want to think in a wrong way, but he couldn't ignore the woman who was diligently picking food for the man.
