Tang Li looked down at her flat stomach and smiled through her tears:
"It's time to give him a surprise. Let's go."
If we don't leave soon, he might come back.
Tang Li is not yet ready to face him directly and frankly.
But she didn't know that Huo Chenyu was indeed on his way back. His right eyelid kept twitching, and he felt uneasy, so he rushed back.
The two cars crossed at the intersection. Yunxi saw Huo Chenyu's car and was about to remind Tang Li, but seeing that Tang Li was staring blankly out the window, she simply shut up.
Upon arriving at Ruoxia Winery, Yunxi prepared a room for her:
"You can stay here for the rest of the time."
The room was fully furnished, but Yunxi sat on the edge of the bed, hesitant to speak.
Tang Li noticed her concerns, smiled, and said:
“You can tell me anything openly. There are no secrets between us. Whether it’s my feelings or the car accident six years ago, I won’t hide anything from you.”
Yunxi felt guilty, lowered her head, and still spoke frankly:
"If you want to quickly resolve things with Huo Chenyu, my personal suggestion is that you can ask President Lu for help. Of course, all of this is based on the premise that he is willing to take the blame for you."
Tang Li understood what she meant.
But she deliberately twisted her words: "Sister Xi, are you trying to get rid of me?"
Yunxi gently patted her arm:
"You little rascal, you know perfectly well that's not what I meant. If you want to avoid suspicion, you can have Tang Sui and Tang Yuan move into President Lu's 1,200-square-meter house with you. But you have to give Huo Chenyu a reason to leave. If he hadn't fallen for someone else, I don't think he would have let go so easily."
After speaking, Yunxi emphasized:
"We can't alert them yet, since the evidence is insufficient. This recording only proves that Huo Yishen had dealings with the Zha family and that they had a very unpleasant falling out, but it's not enough to prove that he orchestrated the car accident."
Now that the direction is clearer, the investigation will be much easier.
not to mention...
Yunxi wanted to tell her that Zha Zhongqi was still alive.
Even if that person changed their appearance, she firmly believed that her intuition was correct.
But she ultimately didn't say it.
Compared to Tang Li, her ally, her lover held a greater place in her heart.
She didn't know why the person she loved most was still alive, yet he refused to show himself to her for six whole years. Presumably, he was also investigating the car accident involving the Tang family back then.
In order to avoid exposing her lover, she had no choice but to betray her friends.
After thinking it over carefully, Tang Li pretended to be relaxed and said:
"I will handle Huo Chenyu's situation myself."
Yunxi couldn't help but chime in:
"Believe me, the only person who can help you quickly extricate yourself from this ill-fated relationship is President Lu."
Tang Li countered with a question:
"How do you know Lu Zhixing isn't a tiger's den?"
She didn't want to escape one danger only to fall into another.
Moreover, she had already sensed that Lu Zhixing's feelings for her had changed. Knowing that someone had feelings for her, yet still taking advantage of them without any scruples, was something Tang Li couldn't do.
Yunxi was shocked:
"You don't mean you suspect Mr. Lu's father, do you? He turned his hair white overnight because of your mother. Do you really think he would kill someone just because he couldn't have the one he loved?"
Tang Li chuckled at this.
"You want to hear the truth?"
Yunxi took off her shoes, got into bed, and sat cross-legged.
"Nonsense, there's no fool in this world who wants to hear lies, right? Come on, let's have a chat tonight at the sisters' gathering."
Just as Tang Li was about to speak, Yunxi's phone, which was on the chair, rang.
She glanced at it and said to ignore it.
But after she finished speaking, she realized:
"No, at this hour, besides your partner, no one should be giving me these kinds of harassing calls."
Tang Li scratched his head:
"I turned off my phone when I came. The villa has security cameras, so they probably found your car there."
Yunxi pointed at Tang Li:
"You, you, I still have to clean up your mess. Just wait, I'll take care of him for you."
When Yunxi got out of bed, she still looked very proud and imposing, as if she was about to start a fight.
The moment she picked up her phone, she instantly got into character, feigning a low voice, first saying "Hello," then quietly apologizing:
"I'm sorry, I'm not in a good mood today. I happened to be chatting with your wife, and she said she was home alone, so I borrowed her to keep me company. If you mind, I'll send her back to you now."
After speaking, Yunxi coughed twice and said in a hoarse voice:
"I'm sorry, I have a bit of a cold, but don't worry, I'm wearing a mask and I've taken medicine, so I definitely won't infect your wife."
Since things had come to this point, Huo Chenyu couldn't say anything else.
He remembered Huo Yancheng's words: to be magnanimous.
You should be generous not only when dealing with suitors, but also especially when dealing with your partner's best friends.
It happens all the time that wives are "borrowed" like this. Husbands need to be magnanimous and not petty.
So Huo Chenyu suppressed his disappointment and said very openly:
"It's good that she's with you. You two have a good chat and get together. I'll bring you breakfast after dawn."
Yunxi glanced at Tang Li and coughed violently a few times:
"Is Mr. Huo worried that I won't be able to take good care of your wife if I get sick? If you're worried that I won't feed her, then come and take her away. I'm fine. I can manage on my own. I've been carrying this burden alone for so many years. It's just that now that I have Lili as a friend, I suddenly feel that it's nice to have someone to rely on."
