Chapter 45: Favorite Food and People Have Changed
I watched Luo Pingcheng walking towards me all night and thought: I almost forgot about him. He hasn't planned to leave yet.
Just as he was about to introduce and explain to Song Yexing, Song Yexing took the initiative to greet Luo Pingcheng.
"Isn't he the third young master of the Luo family? Why does he look like he's going home? This is the Chi family, not the Luo family. Did the third young master get drunk during the day and go to the wrong house?"
Song Yexing was well aware of the entanglements and grudges between the Luo family and the Chi family, and had no good impression of the Luo family at all.
She likes Chi Tiansheng. Among all the men she knows, Chi Tiansheng is the one who is most similar to her. They have many common topics and similar ways of doing things.
As long as she is with Chi Tiansheng, she can forget the burden and pressure of being the eldest daughter of a banker, and she can be as happy as an ordinary little girl.
If she were to get married, she only wanted to marry Chi Tiansheng, so she took the initiative to propose.
Unexpectedly, Chi Tiansheng rejected her decisively.
"Do you have someone you like? Is he more suitable for you than me?"
Song Yexing asked unconvincedly, saying that only by knowing the rival in love can one defeat the rival in love.
Chi Tiansheng smiled and said, "No, it's totally inappropriate. Besides, we can't like each other, we can only hate each other. But I only care about him."
The person Chi Tiansheng cares about, the person he can't like but can only hate, is Luo Pingfeng.
Therefore, Song Yexing hated everyone in the Luo family, especially Luo Pingfeng.
In order to "know yourself and your enemy and win every battle", she couldn't help but have someone investigate Luo Pingfeng.
To sum up, this person is a cold-blooded and ruthless evil spirit.
How could Chi Tiansheng's vision be so bad that he cared about such a person?
Song Yexing has met many men, some for family reasons, some for blind dates, and some for free love. She has had more than ten boyfriends, so she can be considered to have "rich experience in love."
She thought about it calmly and knew she couldn't win.
This man is an evil ghost to anyone who sees him, a villain that no one likes, but Chi Tiansheng only cares about him.
Obviously, only Chi Tiansheng saw the "shining" side of the man, or a small shining point.
With just that little bit of light, an evil ghost sunk in darkness became a special existence in Chi Tiansheng's eyes.
Alas, Chi Tiansheng and she are indeed very similar people, both of them are love-brained.
Unfortunately, that person was so hateful. Not only was he emotionless, he also planned to kill Chi Tiansheng.
Luo Pingcheng is that man's younger brother, and he is not much better.
Recalling the sad past of being rejected, Song Yexing looked at Luo Pingcheng with eyes full of provocation and hostility.
Luo Pingcheng was a sensitive lunatic, so he naturally felt Song Yexing's unfriendliness.
"I'm so famous! Even the eldest daughter of a banker in South Korea recognizes me?"
Song Yexing snorted and elegantly laid out the napkin: "Eat instant noodles while they're hot. I'm too lazy to talk to you."
"You two are both important investors in the South Bank project. The Third Young Master of the Luo family is just having trouble returning home, so he's staying with us for two days."
No direct order to expel the guests was issued that night, but the government took the opportunity to give Luoping City a "two-day" deadline.
Two days later, Luo Pingcheng could find a place to hide by himself, or accept the suggestion of sending him to a suburban villa for refuge, but he couldn't live in this house anyway.
Living in the same house with Song Yexing, at most I could smell the smell of chili peppers and instant noodles.
Staying in the same space with Luo Pingcheng, I can hardly hide at night. I feel like I will be exposed in front of Luo Pingcheng at any time.
Lian Ye longed for Shi Mingguang to discover him, Lian Ye who was living in the body of "Chi Tiansheng".
But he was afraid that Luo Pingcheng would find out.
He could no longer go back to the past, and could no longer be dragged into the endless abyss by Luo Pingcheng.
"Oh, Mr. Chi, are you telling me to leave? Fine, I won't need two days. I'll leave today. The whole room is filled with the pungent smell of chili peppers. I don't want to stay here for even a minute."
Luo Pingcheng was straightforward and turned around and left.
"Although you don't fight with me for kimchi noodles and you don't like spicy food anymore, one thing hasn't changed: as a businessman, you know how to make trade-offs."
Song Yexing smiled contentedly, not knowing whether he was satisfied with the instant noodles or with "Chi Tiansheng" driving Luo Pingcheng away.
At least, between himself and Luo Pingcheng, Chi Tiansheng chose himself.
Isn't it obvious? The help that their own bank can bring to Chi's company is more long-lasting and reliable.
Luo Pingcheng has always been a member of the Luo family and is Luo Pingfeng's younger brother.
Putting aside how much money Luo Pingcheng can invest in the South Bank project, whether he is really willing to invest and promote the South Bank project is still an unknown.
Song Yexing looked at "Chi Tiansheng" with satisfaction. She knew him very well.
He had the same idea as himself and definitely could not fully trust Luo Pingcheng.
Song Yexing thought that after driving Luo Pingcheng away, she could finally enjoy her own world with Chi Tiansheng.
Luo Pingfeng plotted to murder him and almost took his life.
Maybe Chi Tiansheng no longer has any feelings for Luo Pingfeng, and only hatred remains, without any special emotions.
Song Yexing thought this was a great opportunity to fill Chi Tiansheng's heart with himself.
She never expected that the person inside "Chi Tiansheng" was not the original person, but Lian Ye.
Lian Ye's heart had long been filled with light, all Shi Mingguang, without any gaps.
Even when discussing the most important investment details, a phone call related to Shi Mingguang would summon him away.
"Hey, Chi Tiansheng, where are you going? We're having a video conference with my dad and my brother."
If the bank wants to invest such a large sum of money across borders, it is not something that Song Yexing can decide on by just one word. It also requires going through a process and holding a meeting with the father of the nominal chairman and the younger brother of the third largest shareholder to agree on it.
However, Chi Tiansheng received a phone call and ran away.
"Dad, brother, I'll go with you to see what the big deal is. We'll make an appointment for a meeting next time."
Song Yexing had to give an explanation to his father and brother, and also prove to other shareholders that Chi Tiansheng was capable of completing the South Bank project.
She had to see with her own eyes what people and what things were more important than the bank investment meeting and the South Bank project.
After several major shareholders who invested in Nan'an encountered problems one after another, Lian Ye had already guessed that Luo Pingfeng would take action against Shi Mingguang sooner or later, but he did not expect it to happen so soon.
"How did you know I was here?"
Shi Mingguang was still receiving treatment and bandaging the wound on his foot when he saw "Chi Tiansheng" running in in a panic, and was very surprised.
Fearing that Luo Pingfeng would attack Shi Mingguang, he sent people to watch around the law firm overnight and follow Shi Mingguang from a distance to protect him.
When his subordinates saw what happened to Shi Mingguang, they immediately called Lian Ye and followed Shi Mingguang all the way to the hospital.
When Shi Mingguang left the law firm, an oncoming car almost hit him.
He thought it was just an accident, but after reporting the case and checking the surveillance footage, he discovered that the car had a cloned license plate.
Song Kang conducted an investigation immediately and found that the driver was wearing a mask and deliberately lowering the brim of his baseball cap.
Song Kang was about to inform Shi Mingguang of the results of the investigation. He pulled aside the curtain and found that "Chi Tiansheng" was also there. He couldn't help but frown.
Shi Mingguang was hit by a car and injured. It was a man-made accident. The criminal was well prepared.
He was not prepared to kill Shi Mingguang, but was threatening him and warning him.
Song Kang intuitively felt that the mastermind behind this was someone from the Luo family, but how did Chi Tiansheng know that Shi Mingguang was injured?
Song Kang stared at "Chi Tiansheng" with sharp eyes, and a chill ran down his spine.
"Officer Song, I haven't had a chance to greet you formally yet. How about we go outside and chat for a while?"
In front of Shi Mingguang, Lian Ye did not want to confess the fact that he had someone "secretly protecting" him.
For a frank and upright person like Shi Mingguang, "protection" with selfish motives was considered impolite surveillance.
"Okay, I'll talk to Mr. Chi, you take care of your wound."
Song Kang spoke to Shi Mingguang in a soft voice, full of tenderness and concern.
He turned to "Chi Tiansheng" and said, "Let's go, Mr. Chi."
Lian Ye once again felt hostility in Song Kang's eyes.
In Song Kang's eyes, the Chi family and the Luo family are the same kind of people, so Song Kang hates them?
Or, does Song Kang's hostility towards him stem from jealousy?
Lian Ye and Song Kang were walking out when they bumped into Song Yexing who was lifting the curtain.
"Wow, if you didn't know, you would think this was a wet market. There's a buy-one-get-one-free sale going on. There are so many people."
Song Yexing deliberately put his arm around "Chi Tiansheng"'s shoulders and peeked into the treatment room.
The pale-faced and righteous man is the legendary "Shi Mingguang".
On the way to the hospital following Chi Tiansheng, Song Yexing had already done some investigation.
After Chi Tiansheng woke up, not only did his eating habits and way of doing things change, but there was also a strange thing.
Chi Tiansheng was particularly concerned about Shi Mingguang, and the two people who had originally had no connection became closer and closer.
Moreover, it was Chi Tiansheng who had been unilaterally trying to get close to Shi Mingguang.
Song Yexing was curious about everything about Chi Tiansheng.
Her father and brother both laughed at her, saying that she was a "natural brain".
She is clearly not interested in love, doesn't like any of the blind dates, and changes boyfriends as quickly as she changes purses.
The only thing she did was to face Chi Tiansheng. Even after being rejected, she never gave up and acted loyal to him, determined to marry him.
Song Yexing deliberately pushed "Chi Tiansheng": "Do you and this gentleman want to go out to talk? Go ahead, I'll stay here with Lawyer Shi."
Lian Ye looked at Song Yexing worriedly. There were doctors and nurses here, so Song Yexing shouldn't do anything rash.
"Lawyer Shi, see you later."
He greeted Shi Mingguang that night, implying that Shi Mingguang should wait for him and not run away.
Song Kang got straight to the point and asked, "The person who hit Mingguang with his car wasn't an accident; he was well prepared. Do you know the inside story?"
"Maybe it has something to do with Luo Pingfeng. Luo Pingcheng hasn't dared to go home recently because he invested in the South Bank project, but several other shareholders have been threatened one after another by people hired by Luo Pingfeng."
For Shi Mingguang's safety, he was willing to exchange information with Song Kang, join forces, and work overnight.
Although, in the past, he was most afraid of police officers like Song Kang.
He is a killer hiding in the dark, the Luo family's knife is the mouse, and Song Kang is the cat chasing him.
"Who are you looking for, Mr. Chi, do you have any idea?"
Song Kang opened his cell phone, which contained surveillance footage.
The driver was wearing a mask and a baseball cap, so it was impossible to tell who he was.
Song Kang smiled all night long, and he was certain that "Chi Tiansheng" and Luo Pingfeng were the same kind of people.
Chi Tiansheng knew who Luo Pingfeng would ask to take action and do the dirty work, and he had also contacted those people.
"Officer Song, you should ask a criminal profiling expert to analyze the driver instead of asking me to guess."
Lian Ye smiled politely, walked past Song Kang quickly, and went straight to support Shi Mingguang.
"Lawyer Shi, why don't you stay in the hospital for observation? I'd like to know if you've injured any bones or muscles. We should be more cautious."
He supported Shi Mingguang all night, bent down to check his injured foot, and leaned over slightly to make a suggestion.
"How about I carry you? It's inconvenient for you to walk like this, and you won't aggravate your injury."
Before Shi Mingguang, Song Kang and Song Yexing could come to their senses, Lian Ye had already squatted down.
Shi Mingguang did not accept the fact that he had been squatting all night. He remained in this position and turned his head slightly: "It's okay, I'm very strong."
Shi Mingguang stood up, then squatted and looked back at him, as if they were meeting for the first time.
Shi Mingguang stared blankly at "Chi Tiansheng's" face. In a trance, he felt that he was not the arrogant Chi Tiansheng, but another person.
The man cowered in the dark alley, his face and body covered in blood, his eyes filled with fear, looking up at himself like a wounded puppy.
Shi Mingguang certainly did not forget that the man and Chi Tiansheng sank into the dark water together.
There has been no news about that person so far.
Every few days, Shi Mingguang would call to inquire about the search progress and was told that the search and rescue had been stopped.
Impossible to live.
Shi Mingguang was very clear about what the search and rescue team said.
But, I had an inexplicable intuition that the man was not dead.
"Come on, I'll take you home."
Song Kang directly supported Shi Mingguang and walked towards his car.
"The exhaust fumes are almost gone. Mr. Chi, please give up and let me sit in your passenger seat."
Song Yexing pulled up the squatting person, held his arm, smiled and raised his eyebrows, gloating.
Lian Ye smiled bitterly: "Today's meeting didn't take place. I'll have to trouble Miss Song to help contact Chairman Song again."
The loan from Song's bank was very important, so he gentlemanly opened the car door for Song Yexing that night.
If Song Yexing hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he wouldn't have believed it.
Chi Tiansheng actually likes this.
Shi Mingguang has a good academic background, is the owner of a law firm, is young and promising, and has impeccable looks.
However, it is obvious that they are not from the same world.
Even though Song Yexing witnessed it with his own eyes, he still didn't understand.
"Don't you like the cold, evil type like Luo Pingfeng? Why are you being so attentive to a lawyer who's as flawless as white jade? Could it be that after soaking in the water, your favorite foods and people have changed?"
"Chi Tiansheng" likes Luo Pingfeng? Lian Ye couldn't believe what Song Yexing said and shook his head vigorously.
"No, Miss Song must have misunderstood."
Luo Pingfeng is such a bad and evil guy, and he also wants to take Chi Tiansheng's life.
How could Chi Tiansheng possibly like someone who wanted to kill him? Besides, Lao Xu and Xiao Wen both suspected that the death of Chi Tiansheng's parents was related to the Luo family.
The hatred for one’s parents is irreconcilable. How could Chi Tiansheng fall in love with his enemy?
Song Yexing thought he was denying his attentions to Lawyer Shi and breathed a sigh of relief.
"That's right. A man who's so conventional and always talks about justice and law is so boring. How could he possibly interest you?"
Song Yexing explained himself and sighed: "Because you are too similar to me. I like unique people, just like I like you, the only one who rejected me. You can't let go of that guy Luo Pingfeng either."
I was silent all night and felt extremely heavy-hearted.
Song Yexing certainly knows "Chi Tiansheng" better than himself.
Since Song Yexing is so sure, perhaps "Chi Tiansheng" really has some kind of inseparable feelings for Luo Pingfeng.
This also explains why "Chi Tiansheng" dumped Xiaowen and went to the appointment alone.
"Chi Tiansheng" is a confident and proud person. He is confident that he is also a special person in Luo Pingfeng's heart.
Unfortunately, the feelings that "Chi Tiansheng" wishfully believed in, whether friendship or otherwise, were never a two-way relationship.
"Unfortunately, your wish will never come true."
Song Yexing looked at "Chi Tiansheng" from the side, smiling brightly and saying words that sounded like a curse.
"Yeah, it's said that the chance of mutual love is only one in ten million, so most people can't realize their wish."
Hiding inside Chi Tiansheng's body all night, he couldn't even be his true self, he couldn't achieve it.
"Chi Tiansheng" was just a walking shell, having lost his self-awareness, and he could not achieve anything.
Neither Lian Ye nor Chi Tiansheng can love Song Yexing, so she cannot realize it.
