Chapter 263 Talk with Mrs. Fang
Ling Tianyi ruined the dinner. He didn’t want to stay there, so he drove home quickly.
Ling Tianyi didn’t want Xia Xiaoluo to know about this. He was afraid that she would be not confident about their future. Now that he had expressed his attitude in his way, he thought that He Meishu would not interfere with him so much.
Ling Tianyi adjusted his mood in the elevator, and then he changed a gentle smile on his cold face, walking home.
“Darling, I’m back.” Ling Tianyi’s voice sounded very positive. No one could tell that he was angry just now.
“Darling, I’m home, why don’t you come out to welcome me?” Ling Tianyi opened the door of the bedroom where Xia Xiaoluo watched the funny show just now.
“Darling? Where are you? Don’t play hide-and-seek with me?” Ling Tianyi found that no one was in the bedroom, so he went to the bathroom again. Ling Tianyi inspected the whole villa, but he could not find Xia Xiaoluo.
“Shit! Please not happen again.” Ling Tianyi had a bad premonition in his mind suddenly. Every time he left Xia Xiaoluo alone, she would cause trouble.
Ling Tianyi scratched his handsome hair, and then went to check the monitoring system. He took his mobile phone to call Xia Xiaoluo. He wanted to contact Xia Xiaoluo, making sure of her location and safety at once. Or, he would go mad.
Xia Xiaoluo just had something wrong, and has been in trouble since they met, so Ling Tianyi was very anxious at this moment.
Ling Tianyi has called Xia Xiaoluo for many times, but Xia Xiaoluo didn’t answer it. At last, her mobile phone was powered off. At this time, Ling Tianyi became more anxious. He found that Xia Xiaoluo has gone out through the monitoring probes in the house, so he went to check the outside monitoring probes. He knew the license plate number of the taxi Xia Xiaoluo took finally.
“She went to the HaotianJiayan Restaurant? My God!” Ling Tianyi was frightened suddenly, thinking that Xia Xiaoluo might misunderstand him.
Ling Tianyi wanted to ask the boss of the HaotianJiayan restaurant for help, but he was told that the boss there was actually Fang Ruichen. Ling Tianyi understood Fang Ruichen must play a role when Xia Xiaoluo left home and didn’t answer his phone. When he found Xia Xiaoluo, he wanted to beat Fang Ruichen up.
Every time when Xia Xiaoluo disappeared, Ling Tianyi was very nervous. He had to use the monitoring. Fortunately, A City was developed enough and there were many monitoring probes in the corners.
Ling Tianyi got the clue that Xia Xiaoluo and Fang Ruichen were at the riverside. He rushed there. However, when he got there, Xia Xiaoluo had left.
Although Xia Xiaoluo often did stupid things, in fact, she was not really stupid, she had some wit sometimes. She could tell Ling Tianyi went home when he called her. She also knew he would look for her through the city’s surveillance videos as before, so Xia Xiaoluo put on Fang Ruichen’s sports coat on purpose, wanting to avoid the monitoring probes and find another place to hide.
Fang Ruichen was willing to help Xia Xiaoluo to avoid the monitoring probes. They hid themselves from place to place, disappearing in the monitor finally. Ling Tianyi paced back and forth with his hands against his sides. He was very anxious.
Xia Xiaoluo was taken to a dark alley by Fang Ruichen. Suddenly, she felt a little dangerous and frightened.
“Where are we going? Why is it so dark and there’s no one else here?” Xia Xiaoluo murmured.
“Don’t worry. I’ll protect you, nobody dares to bully you!” Fang Ruichen said boldly.
“You are crazy, I think you are the bad guy. Come on, take me out.” Xia Xiaoluo had no sense of direction, so she did not know where to go.
“Then… Well… Then…” Fang Ruichen was nervous.
“What?” Xia Xiaoluo was angry.
“You can go to my house!” Fang Ruichen said quickly, but Xia Xiaoluo could hardly hear him.
Fang Ruichen was waiting for Xia Xiaoluo’s answer anxiously, but she kicked him and said, “You spoke too fast! I can’t hear you clearly. Where are we going?”
Fang Ruichen took a deep breath, slowed down his speaking speed, and said anxiously, “I want to invite you to my house tonight.”
“What? To your house?” Xia Xiaoluo was shocked.
“Don’t get me wrong, I don’t mean anything else. I mean that we can’t be wandering on the road all the time. My house is very big. I’ll arrange a single room for you, and nobody could disturb you.” Fang Ruichen explained hurriedly. He blushed after speaking these words. Fortunately, the alley was very dark, Xia Xiaoluo could not see his expression, or he would be very embarrassed.
“I won’t go there!” Xia Xiaoluo refused immediately. Although Ling Tianyi betrayed her to go for a blind date, she still loved him. In any case, she would not go to Fang Ruichen’s house, because Ling Tianyi would be angry and sad.
“You…” Fang Ruichen was very angry, but he didn’t know how to answer Xia Xiaoluo. He was afraid of being refused, but Xia Xiaoluo did refuse him.
“Then what’s your opinion?” Fang Ruichen gave up and leaned on an old electric pole helplessly.
“I… I don’t know!” Xia Xiaoluo shook her head. She wanted to find Dou Ya, but Ling Tianyi could also find Dou Ya. Then she would be caught by Ling Tianyi again. After so many things, Xia Xiaoluo wanted to stay alone. She loved Ling Tianyi very much, but now she didn’t know how to face him.
“Or you can find Xiao Man?” Fang Ruichen asked tentatively. In fact, Fang Ruichen knew what was in Xiao Xiaoluo’s mind, so he didn’t suggest to send her to Dou Ya’s house.
“Xiao Man Senior? I don’t want to disturb her!” Xia Xiaoluo did not agree. Although she adored such a goddess as Xiao Man, they were not familiar with each other after all, so it was not good to bother her.
“It doesn’t matter. I have helped her once before. Do you remember? Because at that time, I was in hospital for a few days, she also broke her legs. Later, she was grateful to me. Now she is my friend. Friends should help each other, and she knows you. It’s OK.” Fang Ruichen said and called Xiao Man.
Xia Xiaoluo didn’t stop Fang Ruichen. Although she didn’t think it was very good, she still agreed. After all, she had nowhere to go and she wanted to calm down.
Xiao Man was very enthusiastic. After receiving the call, she drove to pick up Fang Ruichen and Xia Xiaoluo. Fang Ruichen sent Xia Xiaoluo to Xiao Man’s house safely, and then he went home under Xia Xiaoluo’s urging.
Fang Ruichen was stopped by Ling Tianyi as soon as he got home. Ling Tianyi said nothing, just punched Fang Ruichen directly. “You bastard, where is my wife?”
“You’re a fucking bastard. You had a blind date with other women secretly. Everyone knew it!” Fang Ruichen punched Ling Tianyi back immediately.
Fang Ruichen was a little taller than Ling Tianyi and he kept doing sports, so they were really rivals. In addition to Ling Tianyi’s power, Fang Ruichen still had scruples of Ling Tianyi due to his family. If regardless of that, Fang Ruichen was not afraid of Ling Tianyi at all.
“Don’t talk nonsense! You stir up the relationship between my wife and me on purpose. Do you think you can get Xiaoluo by doing this? You are dreaming!” Ling Tianyi roared. His patience with Fang Ruichen was almost run out.
“You know what you did. I don’t need to provoke you. We can see and hear it clearly. Xiaoluo wouldn’t believe a liar anymore.” Fang Ruichen did not want to show his weakness. His voice was louder than Ling Tianyi’s.
“What’s the matter? Is Xiaochen back?” A graceful middle-aged woman came out of the house.
“What’s the matter? Who are you? Why do you hit my son?”Fang Ruichen’s mother said, who just flew back from abroad today.
“Mom! I’m fine! He is an old man, he is older than me, he can’t defeat me!” Fang Ruichen said impatiently to his mother.
“Bum-boy, just tell me! Where’s my wife? You dare to abduct and hide my wife. It seems that you want to die, right?” Ling Tianyi roared. This was not only to warn Fang Ruichen, but also for his mother.
“Ling Tianyi?” Fang Ruichen’s mother was shocked, and then she regained her consciousness at once. “It’s Manager Ling. Please come in and have a cup of coffee first! I brought it from abroad. It tastes good. If there are any misunderstandings, why don’t we talk about it slowly? The problem will be solved for sure.”
The fame of Ling Tianyi was not exaggerated. Even Fang Ruichen’s mother could not look down a man even though he belonged to a younger generation. Fang Ruichen was mad, and he was not afraid of fighting with Ling Tianyi. But Fang Ruichen’s mother was a middle-aged lady with a mature mind. She knew the importance. Moreover, she knew something about the conflicts between Fang Ruichen and Ling Tianyi, so she wanted to solve the problems, not letting the conflicts expand.
“Very good, Mrs. Fang. I hope you can educate your son well.” Ling Tianyi released Fang Ruichen. He wanted to solve the problem as soon as possible, knowing Xia Xiaoluo’s whereabouts.
“This way, please!” Mrs. Fang made a gesture of invitation.
While making the coffee, Mrs. Fang introduced her good coffee beans. But Ling Tianyi interrupted her and said, “Coffee is just a cover. Let’s get to the point! I don’t like to say something indirectly and waste my time.”
“OK, Manager Ling is really a straightforward person, both in dealing with things and doing business. I admire that! Well, let’s get to the point!” Mrs. Fang said with a smile.
“Mrs. Fang, your son and my wife are classmates. They are very close. I have warned Fang Ruichen for many times. We have fought with each other several times. However, he not only didn’t know how to restrain, but also intensified. Today, he hid my wife and I couldn’t find her, so I came to visit you. The Fang’s family was distinguished in both A City and abroad. I respect you and Mr. Fang very much. I don’t want to fight against Fang’s family. After all, two tigers fight with each other, one will be injured. I don’t think I will lose in the fight with Fang’s family, but it would cost me much in the fight. I prefer the win-win situation rather than the lose-lose situation. Of course, if your son makes me desperate, I will try my best to fight against you. Now that I’m talking about it with you, I’d like to know your opinion on your son’s harassing my wife?” Ling Tianyi said. He explained the ins and outs of the matter, showing his attitude.
Mrs. Fang was also a veteran in the upper class. She listened to Ling Tianyi gracefully, and then she said gently, “First of all, I’d like to thank you for your recognition and respect of the Fang’s family. We also have great respect for you and the Huasheng Group. What we want is win-win cooperation. We don’t want to fight against you as well.”
