Chapter 44 Chapter 44 "So what are we missing?"...
It goes without saying that without Ye Xiuming's help, Su Ting must be exhausted from dealing with those people who showed goodwill to him. However, it is hard to say whether one or two of them could bring him comfort.
Unexpectedly, Su Ting said categorically: "No, and there won't be in the future."
Zhou Xubai was just about to ask him out when he felt like he had hit a wall. Feeling unhappy, he asked, "Where's Wen Yanyu? Is she still pursuing you like before?"
"Um."
"Fu Xici?"
"Still the same." Su Ting's face became more and more beautiful and dazzling with the polishing of time. People also have charms that cannot be ignored. It is not surprising that those people did not retreat in the face of difficulties.
"Do you consider me, who spent five years in prison for you?"
Su Ting: "I can thank you in other ways, as long as you make a list."
Zhou Xubai's soft eyes drooped instantly. His heart felt like it was being stabbed by several sharp knives, a tearing pain. He whispered, "At least I don't have to worry about you being abducted by someone else."
Su Ting smiled faintly and said nothing. Zhou Xubai knew that he was bored, so he waited silently for Zheng Li's arrival.
The big shot arrived alone, without even a secretary, and acted very low-key. According to the customs of the wine table, Su Ting asked him to raise three glasses, and then there were rounds of toasts.
Su Ting actually disliked this kind of social drinking table.
Still drunk, he opened a map on his phone and pointed to the western suburbs. "The government hasn't approved demolition of this land. If I use existing technology to cut and demolish it, my costs will almost double."
Zheng Li said, "Let's drink. Let's drink first."
Zhou Xubai didn't directly discuss the issue of the land. Instead, he tried to be more approachable and asked, "Secretary Zheng, do you have any children?"
"Yes, I went to college."
"Alas, I have one too. He's already in his second year of high school, but he's very rebellious and disobedient. He often doesn't come home. You know what? As an elder, I really miss him."
Zheng Li: "Oh? Which school does he study in Jincheng?"
"Not in King City, in Chicago."
"If you need any information, I have connections in Chicago. Just ask someone to help you. What's his name?"
Zhou Xubai feigned cheerfulness: "Really? That's great. Secretary Zheng, you're truly reliable. My son's name is Ye Xiuming. Thank you for your concern."
At this moment, a hint of violence appeared on Zheng Li's face. "You said his name is... Ye Xiuming? Which three characters are they?"
"Repair it if necessary and we'll do it tomorrow." Zhou Xubai said.
"What school is he in Chicago?"
"Lake Forest College."
No wonder he couldn't find Ye Huaian's son all these years. It turned out that he had hidden away.
Regarding the relationship between Zheng Li and Ye Huaian, people have been able to infer it openly and secretly over the years. Among the relatives and friends, Ye Huaian is Zheng Li's confidant.
Ye Huaian is currently serving his sentence in prison. If there were no constraints, there was no guarantee that he would not give himself up.
And Ye Huaian's only son who disappeared for no reason is the best weapon.
Became someone else's son?
It seems that in order to divert the firepower, Ye Huaian is willing to let his own son recognize someone else as his father. This is a desperate move!
Although five years have passed, Ye Huaian still holds his tongue and refuses to reveal the mastermind behind the matter. However, now that he knows Ye Xiuming's whereabouts, he cannot waste a moment!
Zheng Li hurried out to make a phone call, and came back to look at Su Ting as usual, "I will think of a way to deal with your project in the western suburbs." Just consider it as making up for the loss.
"I have something else to do, so I'll leave first."
Su Ting was puzzled when he saw him leave in a hurry, and asked Zhou Xubai: "Do you think he will help me?"
Zhou Xubai felt that his performance just now was perfect and gave Su Ting a gesture to relax.
He picked up a cup of wine, his face flushed slightly, and clinked his cup with Su Ting's. He said, "This is the first time I've had a drink in the past five years. Can you please stop thinking about work and just stay with me?"
Su Ting smiled and said, "Take it easy."
Zhou Xubai was still drunk. He stumbled out of the hotel and sat side by side with Su Ting on the curb, both of them slightly tipsy. The early winter night was already bitterly cold, and it had unknowingly blown away the smell of alcohol from their bodies.
"Su Ting, was there a moment between us... when we almost got together?"
Su Ting lowered his head and stretched his leather gloves, then said "hmm" calmly.
"So what are we missing?"
Su Ting let out a long sigh: "It's not your problem, Zhou Xubai, you shouldn't forget that I, Su Ting, am a cold and heartless person."
Zhou Xubai took his hand and said, "I don't believe it."
Su Ting thought, just let it go. Although he couldn't give Zhou Xubai what he wanted, he still owed him something.
It was late at night, and there were very few cars on the road and few pedestrians. In the quiet night, they just held hands quietly, without saying a word. From a distance, they looked a little more affectionate.
Suddenly, the sound of a speeding engine roared from their side, getting closer and closer.
It was not until it got closer that Zhou Xubai realized that it was a limited edition black Bugatti, and he immediately showed an envious look.
The person driving the car looked young from the side, as if he had just obtained his driver's license, but his sophisticated look made it difficult to associate him with a young person.
The man tilted his head slightly, glanced at them, and then sped away.
A few minutes ago, Ye Xiuming saw Su Ting's car parked on the side of the road from afar. His heart, which had long been cold, trembled. He stepped on the accelerator and rushed in front of the two people. When he got closer, he saw Su Ting and Zhou Xubai holding hands. He immediately averted his gaze and stepped on the accelerator even harder to drive away from the place.
Su Ting didn't ignore the Bugatti either. As it got closer, he seemed to see Ye Xiuming's shadow. Ye Xiuming's eyes seemed to reveal that look of sated physical desire, as if nothing in the world was worth his lingering thoughts.
Su Ting sighed in his heart. How could it be possible? Ye Xiuming hadn't had his holiday yet, so it was impossible for him to return to China at this time.
Zhou Xubai said, "It seemed like my son was driving that car just now."
Su Ting looked at him suddenly, "Did you see it clearly?"
Zhou Xubai was still drunk, so of course he didn't see clearly. He pounded his head and shook it slowly. "I've drunk too much, Su Ting, and my mind is not clear. Can you carry me home?"
Their location was not far from Su Ting's home, and with Su Ting's physique, he could still get back.
Su Ting reluctantly stretched out his left hand and placed it on Zhou Xubai's waist: "This won't happen again, Zhou Xubai."
Zhou Xubai scratched his nose and said, "Next time I will be even more extreme."
Su Ting took a half step back.
The mysterious Bugatti was now quietly lurking across the road, moving forward at a snail's pace as fast as Su Ting and the others were moving.
Like a wild beast crawling in the jungle, ready to attack at any time.
Su Ting glanced around and noticed something was wrong, but when he asked himself, he realized that since Pei Xingyao was sent to prison, he had never used anyone as a punching bag.
Who would be following me?
At this moment, a cold wind from the same latitude suddenly blew onto Su Ting's heart, causing his fingertips to tremble slightly, as if a nightmare-like name was imprinted in his mind. Could it really be... him?
