Leng Luo grew angrier and angrier as she spoke, eventually losing all patience to continue learning.
"Anyway, that's about it. He went on and on for a while, but it's really nothing. I admit I did that kind of thing."
The most ridiculous thing is that I called Gao Wenjing first that morning, and she was very nice on the phone, calling me "Luo Luo" repeatedly and encouraging me to go find Fu Xihan.
Everyone makes mistakes when they're young; just treat what happened that night as a joke.
"She says one thing to our faces, afraid of offending our family, but behind our backs she does another, telling him to keep his son away from me. Don't you think she's disgusting?"
"That's not all. Guess what Fu Xihan said back then?"
Li Xin'er had a pretty good idea of what was going on, but after taking a sip of her wine, she shook her head and focused on listening to the story.
Leng Luo continued:
“Fu Xihan told Gao Wenjing that he has always regarded me as a younger sister.”
Do you think he's sick?
He treated me like a younger sister. Every time he went to a banquet, he insisted that I accompany him, and he would even hug and cuddle me.
When people joked that the Fu and Leng families would be related by marriage, he didn't say a word.
They're reaping the benefits brought by the Leng family, yet they're also demanding and hypocritical.
"Then they mentioned that celebrity from that night, Joe... Joe something again?"
Here, Li Xin'er did offer a reminder.
"Qiao Ruoyun".
"Oh yes, that's her."
Leng Luo excitedly slapped his thigh.
Gao Wenjing also questioned him, asking if he was promoting a female celebrity lately, that Qiao Ruoyun.
I've also heard rumors that Fu Xihan did provide Qiao Ruoyun with a lot of resources during that period, and there are even rumors that Qiao Ruoyun was being kept by Fu Xihan.
"He actually told Gao Wenjing that it was just to make me give up?"
"I'm supposed to take the blame for this? I was speechless, completely clear-headed."
"I suddenly can't understand why I liked him before?"
"Thinking about it now, it's disgusting. I hope I never see Fu Xihan again, or he'll really be in trouble."
After grumbling for a while, Leng Luo tilted his head back and downed a full glass of wine.
"I'm afraid I won't be able to see him."
Li Xin'er leaned back in her chair, her right hand supporting her cheek. Her exquisite face was half-lit and half-shadowed by the firelight.
Combined with her ambiguous, half-smiling expression, she resembled a bewitching enchantress who could turn the world upside down and wreak havoc on humanity.
Upon hearing this, Leng Luo's mind cleared instantly. She stared in disbelief for a moment, then looked blankly at Li Xin'er, asking uncertainly,
"Why?"
"When a person dies and leaves not even ashes, where can you see them? In your dreams? Ha."
When Li Xin'er said this, her eyes were full of teasing.
Upon hearing this, Leng Luo subconsciously swallowed and stared straight at Li Xin'er.
"You...you killed him?"
She really couldn't think of any other possibilities.
This time, Li Xin'er simply looked at her, her eyebrows twitching slightly, and smiled without saying a word.
They neither admitted nor denied it.
Leng Luo already knew the answer in her heart. She subconsciously looked at Carl and the other person next to Li Xin'er. They had just been talking in the language of flowers, and she wasn't sure if the two of them had understood.
Her first reaction upon confirming the news was that she couldn't let it get out.
It's normal for someone to die in the apocalypse, but they can't die at Li Xin'er's hands.
Otherwise, given how much the Fu family cherishes Fu Xihan, and Gao Wenjing's crazy tendencies, there would be a lot of trouble.
Li Xin'er noticed her thoughts, followed her gaze, glanced at Carl beside her, and raised her wine glass to him.
"They're all on our side."
These words were clearly meant for Leng Luo's ears.
Seeing that Li Xin'er was so confident, Leng Luo didn't say anything more. Instead, she turned to the man with the gold glasses beside her and whispered a warning.
"I think you're a smart person. You know what to say and what not to say, so I don't need to teach you, right?"
The man smiled, his smile like a melting iceberg, a low chuckle escaping from deep within his throat.
"Miss Leng is joking. I didn't hear anything."
"That's good."
Leng Luo nodded in satisfaction, then fell into a silence.
Originally, she thought she would be happy to receive news of Fu Xihan's death, because she felt either hatred or deep sorrow; she had truly loved him...
But when the moment actually arrived, aside from the initial moment of surprise and astonishment, her heart was filled with...
Then, it didn't stir even the slightest ripple in her heart.
Fu Xihan seems to have truly become a passerby.
Li Xin'er also saw Leng Luo's reaction and was genuinely satisfied with what her drinking buddy had done.
A gentle reminder was given:
"The Fu family has been targeted by the authorities. If nothing unexpected happens, S City will be reshuffled. Leng family, you'd better keep a low profile these days."
The saying "the nail that sticks out gets hammered down" has some truth to it.
Leng Luo sensed Li Xin'er's kindness and smiled, but then seemed indifferent.
"Don't worry about that. Let them do whatever they want. My family has kept a lot of low profile since that incident."
After her mother's actions within the company were exposed, the impact was quite significant. If it weren't for the apocalypse, the Leng family would still be in a low period.
"It's good that you know what's going on."
Seeing that Leng Luo was confident, Li Xin'er didn't say anything more.
Then they changed the subject and started playing games and drinking again, drinking until late into the night. Many people passed out, including Leng Luo.
Leng Luo held Li Xin'er, crying and laughing at the same time, then started talking nonsense again.
"Li Xin'er, what did you eat to grow up like this? How come your skin is so good? It's like tofu, I want to eat it, hehe..."
