Chapter 129 - Picking Flowers At The Orphanage
The thin man thought that he had offended a gangster boss somehow; he was so scared that he immediately knelt down and begged for mercy, “Boss, I really didn’t mean it. Please let me go.”
Li Yunshen threw the cigarette in his hand onto the ground and stamped it out. In a cold voice, he said slowly, “Do you think the Li group president’s wife can’t afford a rent of three thousand eight hundred per month?”
Hearing this, the thin man looked at Tang Xin in shock.
The wife of the president of the Li group? The group that had been competing with the Tang group in all markets?
She’s that crazy woman that appeared on the news everywhere?
She doesn’t look like her at all!
What’s more, she doesn’t dress like a president’s wife.
Most importantly, he was beaten because the price was too low?
What logic is that?
“Scram. Next time you see her, remember to raise the price.” Wen Xi said.
The thin man ran as if he was granted amnesty. Before he ran, he asked cautiously, “How much should quote her next time?”
Wen Xi gave him a grim expression and the thin man immediately ran without looking back.
Li Yunshen turned to look at Zhao Yang, who was behind Tang Xin and said softly, “You did well.”
Zhao Yang knew that there was more to what he said. She shook her head in shame and said “It was my incompetence that ruined Brother Yun’s plan, I’m sorry!”
“It’s not you that ruined the plan. Don’t blame yourself!” Saying that, he looked coldly at Tang Xin.
“Boss…” Wen Xi wanted to speak for Tang Xin, but was pulled away by Zhao Yang.
Li Yunshen went to Tang Xin and raised her face with his hand. “Can I treat this behavior of yours as a flight from guilt?”
Tang Xin looked up at him in astonishment, her eyes full of doubts.
“You’ve known Little Star for a long time, and you know she’s the girl in the picture. That’s why you became unafraid of the picture at the head of the bed; you knew she’s not dead at all. You befriended her, even became business partners with her, and then told her how bad I was. The most important thing was that you have brought her close to me. We were so close yet so far away, not able to recognize each other! It’s fun playing with people when they’re in the palm of your hand, isn’t it?”
Is that what he thought?
Did he not know that she was no longer afraid of the photo because she had become numb to the picture!?
“I didn’t!” She shook her head, firmly denying it.
In his mind, was she so deceitful?
“You must have! Why are you in such a hurry to escape then?” He sneered, having convicted her already.
“Should I have waited for you to tell me to go? The Star Garden, Star Garden, everyone knows who it was built for. Now that the lady of Star Garden has come back, why should I still stay there?” Tang Xin forced a bitter smile.
He came close to her and then said, “Star Garden is built for my Little Star indeed, but did I allow you to leave? You are her best friend and business partner. Before she knows about our relationship, you should play whatever role you are. Don’t forget, it’s you who made things this way.”
It was my fault? I didn’t recognize his Little Star at first, so I deserve all this?
“You said we would deal with our relationship as soon as possible.” She knew that the only way she could leave was for him to let her go.
Li Yunshen let her go and went into the car. Seeing that she continued to stand there, he said with displeasure, “Not coming?”
