Chapter 287 Li Fei was Back
Xia Xiaoluo took Ling Tianyi back to the villa. She asked Ling Tianyi for the IOU again. Ling Tianyi had no choice but to give it back to her. Ling Tianyi felt that Xia Xiaoluo was about to leave, so he held her arms, “Xiaoluo, don’t leave. Stay here! You are the hostess of this family. It can’t be counted as a family if you are not here. I can’t live without you!”
Ling Tianyi looked at Xia Xiaoluo with his miserable eyes. He begged her to stay with him. He had already gone into a dilemma due to Qiao Anna’s affairs. If Xia Xiaoluo really left, he would be more depressed and painful.
“I’d better go back to school!” Xia Xiaoluo was reluctant to leave Ling Tianyi as well, but she didn’t want to stay with him with an unclear identity. She couldn’t accept the fact that Ling Tianyi had sex with Qiao Anna.
“Xiaoluo…” Ling Tianyi still tried to let Xia Xiaoluo stay with him, but he didn’t know how to persuade this stubborn girl.
“Well. It’s too late now. I’ll go now. Have a good rest at home. Goodbye!” Xia Xiaoluo said. She was about to leave.
“Wait a minute!” Ling Tianyi stood in front of Xia Xiaoluo. “If you want to leave, let me send you back!”
“There is really no need. It’s not easy for you to drive a car under such a condition. You’d better have a good rest.” Xia Xiaoluo looked at the bandage on Ling Tianyi’s arm, shaking her head.
“My driver will drive the car and I just accompany you!” Ling Tianyi said.
“No, you’re a patient. You have to have a good rest at home! I’m not a three-year-old child. I can go out by myself.” Xia Xiaoluo insisted on going back to school by herself. Ling Tianyi was afraid of making Xia Xiaoluo angry, so he told her to take care again and again. He did not send her back finally.
After Xia Xiaoluo left, Ling Tianyi lied on the sofa decadently. He was thinking about things happened all the time, thinking about Xia Xiaoluo’s and Qiao Anna’s affairs. He would never abandon Xia Xiaoluo and marry Qiao Anna. But he had to be responsible for Qiao Anna. If Qiao Anna could have a miscarriage, maybe it would be easier. The key point was that if Qiao Anna had a miscarriage, she would not be able to have a baby in the future. Such things were very serious for a woman.
Looking through the address book, Ling Tianyi saw a familiar name. “Li Fei, my school friend, I hope that you can help me this time.”
Ling Tianyi called his school friend Li Fei, and the voice sounded surprising on the phone: “Hello, Yi, is that you?”
“Yeah. Have you forgotten me?” Ling Tianyi said with a smile. Even if he was in trouble now, he could talk calmly.
“Of course not. How can I forget you, the richest man?” Li Fei joked. He and Ling Tianyi were classmates at the university. They both studied economics. Then he went abroad to study for a master degree and doctor degree in economic laws. Now he was a well-known lawyer abroad. He had his own specialized law firm.
“Are you still working abroad? I heard that people had to wait in line to give you gifts when they wanted to hire you to file a suit. Now you are wealthy, why don’t you come back to see us?” Ling Tianyi said with a smile.
“Come on. Although I’m rich, I can’t compare with you, the richest man in A City.” Then Li Fei changed the topic, “To be honest, I don’t want to live abroad. No matter how much money I could earn, my parents are not around. Also, I don’t want to marry a foreign wife. So I’m ready to finish my work abroad and go back to A City to open a law firm. At that time, you, the richest man, must help me!”
Ling Tianyi heard that Li Fei was about to come back. What’s more, it seemed that he didn’t get married. That’s just what he wanted. “We are buddies. If I have a lawsuit in the future, you must help me as well!”
“By the way, when will you come back? Let’s get together!” Ling Tianyi said. He wanted to ask Li Fei for help. He thought that Li Fei would like Qiao Anna. Because many years ago, when he and Li Fei went to pick up Ling Tianxue who was studying piano, Li Fei kept watching Qiao Anna at that time.
Although Ling Tianyi thought it was improper to do this, he believed that Li Fei would not refuse when he saw the more mature and beautiful Qiao Anna now.
Ling Tianyi knew Li Fei’s personality. He thought that if Qiao Anna could marry Li Fei, Li Fei would treat her very well. As for Li Fei’s family, Li Fei’s parents were both university professors. Although they were not very rich, it was still a good match for Qiao Anna. And he would also help Li Fei to run a law firm.
If Qiao Anna and Li Fei were together, they could get married as soon as possible. Then Qiao Anna could give birth to this baby legally. Of course, he would pay maintenance and education for the child.
As for Li Fei, he would be very sorry so he would help Li Fei as much as he could. This was to make up for the damage to Qiao Anna and Li Fei.
“I’m in A City now. I just arrived here yesterday. My father will be sixty years old the day after tomorrow. In fact, just because I came back home this time, I find that A City is developing better than before. Considering that my parents are old and I am their only child, I decided to come back for them.” Li Fei sighed.
“You bastard, Li Fei. You didn’t even tell me when you came back. You didn’t invite me to attend your father’s birthday party. You didn’t treat me as your best friend.” Ling Tianyi scolded Li Fei, “Get out now and I’ll invite you to dinner right now!’
“It’s good to have dinner. I won’t be late. Tell me about the time and place.” Li Fei said with a smile. He was a foodie. Ling Tianyi knew him.
“Go to the Hously Hotel! It’s my new hotel. There are top chefs who are engaged in both Chinese and Western food. I think that you are tired of eating western food abroad, so let’s eat traditional Eight Famous Cuisines today. We can have two dishes for each Cuisine today. How about that? Do you like it? You come here right now. We haven’t talked with each other for a long time.” Ling Tianyi said. He was afraid of going to the bar, so he told Li Fei to his own place. He felt relatively safe there.
“OK! Tell me the location. I have just come back to A City, I’m not familiar with the roads. To tell you the truth, I want to fly to you at once. I want to eat the dishes at once!” Li Fei said with a smile.
After about half an hour, Ling Tianyi stood at the gate of the Hously Hotel. Li Fei drove a Land-Rover. He dressed casually, not like a lawyer at all.
Ling Tianyi embraced Li Fei once he saw Li Fei. Ling Tianyi touched Li Fei’s muscles on the chest. “You bastard! You’re obviously a foodie. How can you still be so thin like a monkey?”
“The work made me tired. No matter how much I eat, it’s consumed.” Li Fei said with a smile.
“You are so excellent. Are you as busy as the president?” Ling Tianyi joked.
Li Fei shrugged his shoulders. “You’re not bad!” Li Fei said and grabbed Ling Tianyi’s arm. Ling Tianyi snorted and looked uncomfortable.
“What’s wrong? Did you get hurt?” Li Fei asked with shock.
“Nothing. I fell on the ground and my arm was hurt by the broken glass.” Ling Tianyi said simply.
“Did you fight with your wife?” Li Fei gossiped, “No. I haven’t heard that you get married. Your marriage must be big news.”
“Humph! Let’s come in. Don’t you want to eat something?” Ling Tianyi dragged Li Fei into the hotel.
Because Ling Tianyi, the big boss, treated his friend in the hotel by himself, so the chefs were very careful about the dishes. All the dishes were perfect.
Li Fei ate happily. He ate a lot. Ling Tianyi was going to his father’s birthday party with a female companion, which made Li Fei feel happier. He was not a person who likes to brag, but he thought that it would be more dignified if Ling Tianyi could take part in the party. Although Ling Tianyi was a millionaire, he didn’t forget his school friends.
Yao Sheng also heard the news, so he came to talk with them. Although Yao Sheng and Ling Tianyi did not study in the same major, he often stayed with Ling Tianyi. So Li Fei was very familiar with him.
The three men talked for hours. They drank a lot of wine, so finally they stayed at the Hously Hotel. Of course, they lived in three separate rooms.
The next day, Yao Sheng was busy wooing Shen Jiani. Li Fei was going to arrange his father’s birthday party. So they left early in the morning.
Ling Tianyi checked the work in the hotel. Then he sat at the office and called Qiao Anna.
“Hello, Anna, how are you? Do you feel uncomfortable?” Ling Tianyi asked with concern.
“Nothing, I’m all right!” Qiao Anna answered in a low voice. She was trying to make the voice sound decadent. However, she was happy in her heart. Because Ling Tianyi called her actively. He concerned about her. It was a good sign!
“Um… I hope that you’d better not stay at home alone all the time. You should also do some exercise.” Ling Tianyi said.
“I know, but I really don’t want to go out.” Qiao Anna said decadently.
“That’s not good. Tomorrow is the birthday of my friend’s father. His family has a house left by his ancestors. It’s the pastoral style. I think you will like it and it is good for your mood. If you are free tomorrow, you may go with me!” Ling Tianyi invited Qiao Anna again. He wanted to introduce Qiao Anna to Li Fei.
“But I… Yi, although I have nothing to do, I don’t want to pester you all the time. I’m afraid that Xiaoluo will misunderstand us.” Qiao Anna pretended to be considerate, showing her compromise and magnanimity.
“Xiaoluo has classes at school. She can’t go with me. I’ll take her with me if possible. Are you free tomorrow? I hope you can go out for a walk. It’s good for your mood. You can’t stay at home like this all the time. I’m trying to find a way to solve this problem.” Ling Tianyi said.
“In fact, I also like the pastoral style. I’m just afraid that I will cause you troubles.” Qiao Anna said in a low voice.
“It doesn’t matter! Go with me tomorrow, OK?” Ling Tianyi invited Qiao Anna again. He had to invite Qiao Anna to solve the problem.
“Well, I’ll go with you. I hope that this would not make any misunderstanding to you and Xiaoluo.” Qiao Anna said again. She spoke it out first, then even if Xia Xiaoluo misunderstood her, it was none of her business.
“OK. I’ll pick you up at 10:30 tomorrow morning. Then you can come out.” Ling Tianyi said. After a few polite words, Ling Tianyi hung up.
Qiao Anna put down the phone and walked around in the room excitedly. If Ling Tianyi could marry her actively, that would be the best. It was better to marry her willingly than to be forced by his parents. She did not want to announce her pregnancy to his family now. She wanted to know Ling Tianyi’s intention first.
But Qiao Anna was also anxious. She knew that nothing happened that night. She didn’t have a baby and she was still in her menstruation. Therefore, she must be careful tomorrow because her lie could not be known by Ling Tianyi. She was trying to act as pitiful as possible to win Ling Tianyi’s sympathy. Then she could achieve the goal of marrying into Ling’s family in this way.
