The man opened the car door with his broad hands and said to Li Xue, "Cousin, you should take a taxi back, otherwise Li Yang and I will be worried."
Li Yang saw who it was and couldn't help but feel pleasantly surprised: "Ji Huaizhi."
Ji Huaizhi raised his eyelashes and glanced at her. The indifference in his eyes showed signs of breaking. Then he nodded: "I just came back and saw you."
Li Yang stopped talking and pulled Li Xue into the taxi: "Cousin, the taxi has been stopped. If you don't take it now, you will delay the driver."
Li Xue had no choice but to get in the car and politely declined Li Yang's offer to take her home.
Li Yang told the driver the detailed address of Li Xue's home, and Ji Huaizhi took the opportunity to give the driver some money for the fare.
Li Xue waved at the two of them while sitting in the taxi. Li Yang looked at her serene face and thought of what she would face later. He couldn't help but run a few steps forward and shouted, "Cousin, you must take care of yourself and be careful!"
Li Xue didn't know the deeper meaning of Li Yang's words. She just thought it was a reminder and replied, "I understand. You and your brother-in-law should go back quickly!"
After tonight, she couldn't help but believe what Yang Chunhua said, that Ji Huaizhi was rich.
But even if he really has money, it has nothing to do with the Li family, and it has nothing to do with her either. As long as Li Yang lives a good life, that's all that matters.
Li Yang stood there, watching the taxi gradually drive out of sight, and couldn't help but tear up.
Ji Huaizhi thought Li Yang was reluctant to leave, so he comforted her, "If you miss your cousin, you can go see her anytime."
Li Yang didn't explain what Li Xue had gone through in her previous life, but nodded and said, "Yes."
She remembered meeting Ji Huaizhi here and asked, "Have you finished your work?"
Ji Huaizhi nodded: "Yeah, I went to take care of some things."
He glanced at the vendors setting up stalls on the street. Some were selling clothes they'd found at the wholesale market, some were selling hair accessories that little girls liked, and there were a few people pushing carts selling late-night snacks. He asked, "I'm hungry, do you want something to eat?"
It has been more than two hours since dinner. Li Yang has never eaten much, and Ji Huaizhi really wants to fatten her up.
Li Yang shook his head: "No, I'm not hungry."
My appetite was forced to change from being able to swallow a cow when I was in school to gradually eating less and less, and I couldn’t eat any more.
If you think about it carefully, isn’t this how she got stomach problems in her previous life?
Ji Huaizhi said, "Then eat something with me."
When Li Yang saw Ji Huaizhi asking for a midnight snack, he followed him without refusing, wondering if he had overcooked the dinner and didn't let anyone eat enough.
Ji Huaizhi sat down at a small pushcart stall and asked the old lady for a bowl of fried beef noodles. He then asked Li Yang, "Will you at least eat something with me?"
Li Yang couldn't refuse, so he took a look at the things in the old lady's cart and said, "A bowl of preserved egg and lean meat porridge."
There were some fried snails in the old lady's cart, which made her a little greedy. Since there was little meat on them, they didn't fill up her stomach much. But she felt it was a bit ungentlemanly to eat the snails in front of Ji Huaizhi, so she had to give up.
Ji Huaizhi, who was about to sit down at the side, said to the old lady, "Grandma, another serving of fried snails." He turned around and asked Li Yang, "Do you want chili peppers?"
Li Yang nodded in surprise: "Yes."
Ji Huaizhi then added: "Add some chili peppers."
The streets were filled with couples out on dates. Influenced by reform and opening up and foreign ideas, young people today no longer maintain a distance of one or two meters, as they did in the past, even when walking together. They held hands, put their arms around each other's shoulders, and some even embraced as if no one was around.
Li Yang sat at the small table opposite Ji Huaizhi, not daring to look around, and could only stare at the food on the table.
Ji Huaizhi seemed really hungry. He took the small bowl, gave Li Yang some fried noodles, and started eating with big mouthfuls.
Seeing Li Yang staring blankly without moving, he asked, "What are you still standing there for?"
"Oh." Li Yang finally reacted and picked up the bowl to eat.
Fortunately, the boss provided toothpicks, which saved her the embarrassment of eating snails in front of Ji Huaizhi.
The stone snails are plump and cleaned well. When stir-fried with ginger, garlic, chili and perilla, the flavor of the snail meat is not covered up but made even more delicious.
Finally, Ji Huaizhi said, "It's almost time, we can go back."
Li Yang looked at him in confusion, feeling that he was a little different tonight than usual.
Ji Huaizhi looked at the entrance of the alley in Lie Village with a cold look in his eyes: "I went to the police station tonight."
Li Yang hadn't figured it out at the time, but then he realized, "So, my brother was arrested?"
Ji Huaizhi nodded: "Yeah."
His tone was very calm, as if he had inadvertently decided someone else's life or death.
Originally, he thought that this was Li Yang's family affair, and Li Yang didn't want him to interfere, so he gave up the idea of helping. But seeing that people from the Li family kept coming to the door, and Li Xue tonight made Li Yang's eyes red, he couldn't help it.
Sometimes, when a person has been a good person for a long time, he seems to forget that he has the title of "living devil".
While the two were talking, Li Yang happened to see Feng Mei and Li Jianhai hurriedly walking out of the alley. They were always frugal, so they hailed a taxi and headed towards the police station.
Li Yang couldn't help swallowing and sighed in his heart.
She originally thought that when the time promised to Cheng Wei came, Feng Mei and the others would not be able to come up with the money, and Li Yaozu would naturally be put in jail. By then, Feng Mei would not be able to do anything to her. Although the process was a bit slow, she achieved her goal.
But what was unexpected was that Ji Huaizhi made such a move without showing off. No wonder she was still puzzled. According to Feng Mei's personality, if Li Xue failed to persuade her, she would definitely come to make trouble.
This can be considered as a tit-for-tat. Lai Yiu-cho finally paid the price for his actions.
Looking at the little girl's pale face, Ji Huaizhi said, "Don't worry, you'll be released in a few days at most."
Lai Yiu-cho was not yet eighteen years old, and Zhao Xueyong had only suffered minor injuries. It was a trivial matter, but Feng Mei was too concerned.
If the Zhao family continued to hold on to this matter, the Li family would either have to pay a compensation of one or two hundred yuan to settle the matter, or they could sue them for extorting money. However, he would not say these words to Feng Mei and the others, and neither would Li Yang.
It's all you get for what you have done.
