She picked up the phone and called a well-known private detective agency. She was determined to investigate Li Mei thoroughly, to find out Li Mei's weaknesses, and then to bring down Li Mei and her uncle!
She could no longer be so passively controlled by others. Even if she had to face Mrs. Ou in the end, she would still fight for the opportunity to be with Zihan.
Just then, she hung up the phone and immediately felt a warmth on her body. It turned out that Lin Hongyu had draped his suit jacket over her shoulders. "Xiaoyi, where have you been all this time? I've been looking for you for ages."
"Oh, I just ran into an acquaintance and we chatted for a while. Hongyu, here's the necklace back. It's really beautiful. Thank you for letting me wear it all day." Luo Xiaoyi took his hand and placed the necklace in his palm.
Is she really that cold-hearted? She won't even wear it for one more day? Lin Hongyu felt incredibly hurt in an instant. "Xiaoyi, thank you for fulfilling my wish."
His long, beautiful fingers slowly grasped the necklace, as if grasping a lifetime of pain, making it hard for him to breathe. He dared not look into her eyes again; he turned his face away, not wanting her to see the tears in his eyes. They walked side by side on the beach.
"I'm sorry, Hongyu..." Luo Xiaoyi said to him guiltily. She suddenly realized that her relationship with Lin Hongyu seemed to be limited to saying sorry. This relationship was incredibly awkward, and she didn't know how to get along with him anymore. She just wanted to avoid him. In the future, unless there was something important, she didn't plan to see him.
"Xiaoyi, are you angry about me and Chen Ran? Ou Zihan is just talking nonsense. Don't believe her. I just asked Chen Ran. It turns out she is a princess from Country C. She just wanted to help me but was afraid I wouldn't agree, so she asked President Tan to help me. Now I've arranged for her to invest in the company and give her dividends every year. My relationship with her is completely innocent, really."
Lin Hongyu was afraid that Luo Xiaoyi would feel uneasy, so he had to explain the matter. Otherwise, what kind of person would he become in Xiaoyi's mind?
"Oh, Ou Zihan's words were a bit extreme, don't take them to heart, I didn't take it seriously either," Luo Xiaoyi said casually.
"Oh, that's good. I'll take you home." Lin Hongyu felt very uncomfortable listening to her words. Xiaoyi's tone completely treated Ou Zihan as one of her own, but him as an outsider. He sighed inwardly and fell silent...
The next day, in the bedroom of the Ou residence, on the soft, large bed, Ou Zihan lay half-naked, her sexy body covered by a thin blue blanket, her short black hair buried in the soft blue pillow.
His handsome face opened his eyes. A beam of sunlight pierced his eyes through the gap in the curtains, and he shielded them with his hand. He stretched out his long arm and touched the empty space beside him. Xiaoyi was no longer by his side, and a sense of desolation and loneliness welled up within him.
He remembered that he almost got hit by a lamp yesterday, and Luo Xiaoyi rushed over to save him... Then, they hugged each other tightly, and then he desperately begged Luo Xiaoyi not to leave him, and Luo Xiaoyi sincerely said that she would never leave him, and then, he knew nothing more...
Could it be another dream? A look of sorrow welled up in his deep black eyes, and his eye sockets burned red.
He had a headache. No way, how could something so real be a dream?
There was a knock at the door. Could it really be Xiaoyi back by his side? "Come in," Ou Zihan said in a gentle but urgent voice.

He put on his pajamas and got out of bed.
But when he saw the woman who came in, he was so disappointed—it was Li Mei.
"Zihan, you're awake. This is the medicine the doctor prescribed for you," Li Mei said, handing him water and medicine.
He took the water and medicine and drank them.
"You were knocked unconscious by a light yesterday. The doctor said you had a mild concussion, but it's nothing serious. However, we still need to observe you closely. Does your head still hurt? Is there anything else that's bothering you? I'll call the doctor to come and take a look."
Li Mei was dressed in a yellow casual outfit, her hair tied in a ponytail, looking particularly pure and lovely. However, the white gauze wrapped around her forehead was a major eyesore. Her face showed worry, as if she didn't care about her own injury at all, but was preoccupied with Ou Zihan's injury.
"No, I'm fine. Why is it you? Didn't Luo Xiaoyi save me yesterday? Where is she?"
Ou Zihan looked at her, his disappointment obvious. His tone towards Li Mei was noticeably less cold and hard. After all, Li Mei had been injured twice to save him. Even if he was cold-hearted, at least someone who was willing to sacrifice their life for him time and time again would soften his heart and make him feel grateful.
“Yesterday, not long after the banquet started, Lin Hongyu said he had drunk too much and wasn’t feeling well. Luo Xiaoyi was particularly worried about Lin Hongyu’s health, so she told me. I saw them to their car, and then she accompanied Lin Hongyu home early…”
Last night, Li Mei consulted the doctor carefully. She was afraid that Ou Zihan would clearly remember Luo Xiaoyi saving him. However, she heard from the doctor that if someone was violently hit and suffered a concussion, at the very least, their consciousness would be somewhat hazy at the time, as if they were dreaming. After waking up, they would basically not remember anything.
Hearing the doctor say this, Li Mei finally felt relieved.
Li Mei explained earnestly, even describing Luo Xiaoyi as her best friend, which further proved the credibility of her words. She also deliberately portrayed Luo Xiaoyi and Lin Hongyu's relationship as so good, intentionally provoking Ou Zihan so that he would completely give up on her.
But before she could finish her embellished story, Ou Zihan suddenly flew into a rage. So, it was all just his imagination? Was the Luo Xiaoyi he saw rushing towards him in the crowd yesterday, the Luo Xiaoyi he held tightly in his arms, actually Li Mei? Yes, Luo Xiaoyi and Lin Hongyu had such a good relationship, how could she risk her life to save her?
His heart ached, and he roared in anger!
"Enough!..." He paused for a few seconds, suppressing his anger, and rubbed his still aching head. His tone softened. "You can leave now, Li Mei. Thank you."
His tone was soft, but still cold, and his deep black eyes held an unfathomable sorrow.
"Yes, Zihan, Mrs. Ou just got back. She said she has something to discuss with you and wants you to come down for breakfast." Li Mei looked at him with expectant eyes, hoping that Ou Zihan wouldn't refuse again.
“Okay, I’ll go down in a bit.” Ou Zihan didn’t refuse; he responded like a walking corpse.
On the long and luxurious European-style dining table, delicacies from various countries were laid out. Mrs. Ou, Ou Zihan, and Li Mei sat together for a meal, while Butler Zhao and the servants waited around. The whole dining atmosphere was oppressive and eerie.
"Han'er, does your head still hurt? Call the doctor over after dinner." Madam Ou looked at her son with gentle eyes. Although she was ruthless, she still loved her son just like any other mother in the world. It's just that people love each other in different ways.
"It's okay, it doesn't hurt anymore," Ou Zihan replied indifferently, picking at his food. However, he couldn't help but feel a warmth in his heart at his mother's care.
