Since Qiao Yulan didn't come back, Jiang Tian was no longer needed.
A shadow fell over Li Xiu's cold and stern face as he slowly raised his eyes to look at Jiang Tian.
The two had no connection whatsoever. If it weren't for Qiao Yulan, Li Xiu would never have met Jiang Tian in his life.
But as it turned out, trying to win back Qiao Yulan with family affection was of no use.
Jiang Tian and he met by chance; she was not involved in the incident that year, and Li Xiu did not have the habit of "indiscriminately killing innocent people."
He glanced at Jiang Tian and slowly said, "I'll take you home tomorrow. Just pretend what happened during this time never happened."
He paused for a moment, then added, "My men will stay for a while longer; it won't affect your normal life."
Jiang Tian nodded: "Thank you, Mr. Li."
Li Xiu didn't say anything.
"Mr. Li, if it's alright, may I borrow the kitchen to cook a meal? I haven't eaten all day."
Jiang Tian spoke gently and looked calm.
Li Xiu had spent the whole day with Jiang Tian, so he naturally knew that she hadn't eaten.
He nodded slightly and prepared to leave.
Since Jiang Tian's path is blocked, he will look for another one.
His revenge will not stop.
However, before he even reached the door, he heard Jiang Tian's hesitant voice: "Mr. Li, could you wait a moment?"
Li Xiu turned around and looked at her: "What's wrong?"
Can I treat you to a meal?
Li Xiu frowned, unable to decipher the meaning behind Jiang Tian's words for a moment.
Before he could ask a question, Jiang Tian explained, "Although I know you dealt with my father for me to avoid trouble, but... I can't accept something for nothing. I have nothing to repay you with, so I just wanted to treat you to a meal as a way of thanking you."
Li Xiu stared intently at Jiang Tian.
At this moment, all was quiet, with only a warm yellow light shining in the living room, which added even more warmth to Jiang Tian's already gentle face.
Li Xiu should have refused.
He never eats food cooked by other people.
He hates it when people intrude on his life.
However, his subconscious mind reacted before his brain did.
"good."
Half an hour later.
The two people sat head to head, each with a simple bowl of noodles.
Jiang Tian didn't say much, and Li Xiu remained even more taciturn.
But he had to admit that Jiang Tian's noodles were delicious, and to his surprise, they suited his taste.
Before he knew it, he had finished the whole bowl of noodles.
After they had both finished eating, Jiang Tian hadn't even cleaned up yet when Li Xiu stood up.
"I'll wash the dishes."
After saying those three words, he turned and went into the kitchen.
She cooks, he washes the dishes—it's fair.
Helping her was to make his plans go more smoothly. Li Xiu understood Jiang Tian's pride and certain tender emotions, but that didn't mean he had to accept her gratitude without question.
After all, his motives were not pure to begin with.
Therefore, it's better to have a clear division of labor; he doesn't want to owe anyone anything.
Of course, he could also see that Jiang Tian was still afraid of him, and that she invited him to dinner to make sure that the two of them completely severed ties.
He didn't need to force Jiang Tian to continue living with some kind of moral shackle. It would be good if they could go back to being strangers after finishing this bowl of noodles.
After washing the bowl, Li Xiu washed his hands for half an hour.
There's no dishwasher here, and because he's a clean freak, he has to clean his hands multiple times after washing the dishes.
From the moment he suggested washing the dishes, Jiang Tian respected his opinion.
After he finished washing his hands and was about to leave, Jiang Tian thanked him again.
Li Xiu thought that their paths would cross again.
Sure enough, after Jiang Tian returned, Li Xiu did not see her for a long time.
As the head of the Li Group, Li Xiu was not so idle.
Many projects require his approval, so Li Xiu is very busy, but he prefers to be busy with Qiao Yulan's affairs.
If it weren't for the fact that he inherited the Li family business and might be murdered if he went abroad, Li Xiu would have gone abroad himself long ago.
Now, he can only try to find clues about Qiao Yulan through various channels, and the progress is very slow.
However, Li Xiu did not think he would be the one to lose in the end.
The subordinates will gather information from Jiang Tian's side and inform Li Xiu within a period of time.
Li Xiu would always take a quick look at it.
He was initially uninterested in other people's lives, but as his subordinates reported more and more, he gradually learned about Jiang Tian's experiences.
She grew up in an orphanage, her mother ran away, her father, after being released from prison for murder, still harassed her, her fiancé died, her shop was about to go bankrupt, and many people still had improper thoughts about her.
Li Xiu doesn't make excessive judgments about other people's lives, but Jiang Tian has been through a lot and can still remain calm in front of him, so his impression of her is still quite good.
The latest news from her subordinates is that Jiang Tian's shop has closed down because it couldn't compete with the newly opened shop across the street, and she is looking for other ways to survive.
As for Qiao Yulan, she still hasn't contacted Jiang Tian.
Li Xiu glanced at it and then closed it.
Everyone's life has its own direction, and he doesn't need to interfere.
Li Xiu thought he would never cross paths with Jiang Tian again, but he never expected that he would reunite with Jiang Tian in just a few days.
