C387 I Walk Thousands of Miles and Worry
I bit my lip and nodded vigorously. "Well, Mom, I know!"
"Oh yeah, these few days, you're not at home. That Boss Lee who came to our house last time even came twice and came to visit us with big and small bags." Dad said.
"Oh." My heart lurched.
"This Boss Lee is very respectful to your dad and I, and his speech is also very polite. "But, why does Mom feel like he's not a good person just by looking at him? The more she walks, the more he seems like the boss of the underworld that often appears on TV." His mother smiled and said, "Did your mother judge people by their appearances?"
I grinned and was speechless. The more Lee Shun treated my parents with care, the more uneasy I became. I clearly knew what was behind this care.
Lee Shun has never played his cards according to the rules. He can do anything, and at any moment, he might turn hostile. I am helpless towards him now.
"Ke, what does this Boss Lee have to do with you?" Dad asked again.
"Business partnership." I casually said this as I suddenly felt troubled in my heart. In the end, when will I be able to get rid of Lee Shun?
Although I thought this in my heart, I suddenly asked another question: Do I really want to get rid of Lee Shun in my heart? If I really get rid of Lee Shun, my heart will not leave any regret and unwillingness? If it weren't for Lee Shun's orders and coercion, would I have continued to work at Issuing Company? Do I have any reason to stay by Qiu Tong's side? Am I deceiving myself on the one hand, and going with the flow on the other?
As I thought about it, I couldn't help but feel dirty and petty, and at the same time, strangely contradictory.
At night, lying in bed, I was still struggling with this question when my phone rang. I saw that it was Qin.
"Hello, Qin. It's so late. Is anything the matter?"
"You returned to the Ningzhou, didn't you?" Qin's voice was very low.
"Yeah, how did you know?" "No," I said.
"With your girlfriend, and you brought a girl back with you, didn't you?" Qin didn't answer me, but still asked me.
"En, yes!" I said, "What is it? "I just got back yesterday, how did you know so quickly?"
"I was drinking with Boss Lee, Xiao Wu and Er Zi at the nightclub just now. Unintentionally, I heard Boss Lee and Er Zi's conversation. Er Zi said: He's back with a girlfriend and a girl. Boss, should we go take a look?" Then, Boss Lee shook his head: "No, pretend I don't know anything. Every time it's him coming back, I go to see him. He never comes to find me on his own accord, I want to see if he has me in his heart." Qin said, "When I heard that, I guessed that it might be you. Boss Lee was talking about you."
When I heard this, I felt a little strange. Lee Shun's words seemed to carry a hidden bitterness, not like a man speaking to a man, but more like a girlfriend complaining about a boyfriend.
"Boss Lee has always been paying attention to your whereabouts. He will soon know where you are. I think you know that. " Qin continued.
"I understand!" "No," I said.
"I called you on the pretext of going to the bathroom. You have to know what the next step is!" Qin said again.
"Hmm, let me think." As I said this, I continued, "By the way, Qin, is Duan Xiangloong with you?"
"No, what's wrong?"
"In the afternoon, I happened to see Duan Xiangloong at Shangri-La Hotel. At the same time, the four King Kong of Bai Laosan's underlings appeared." I said, "Do you think there's anything strange about this? Do you want to talk with Boss Lee? "
Qin remained silent for a while: "Boss Lee already knows about the Four Great Vajra Ningzhou. They just checked out at Shangri-La level and Boss Lee already knows about it. However, Boss Lee did not think much of the fact that the four great King Kong had come from Mount Potala before coming to Ningzhou. He said that they had only gone to Mount Potala to burn incense and worship Buddha, that they had done too many bad things and that they had to pay respects to Bodhisattva to reduce their sins. Boss Lee said that they were just out for a stroll, so they shouldn't take it too seriously.
As for the matter you just said about Duan Xiangloong also appearing in Shangri-La, I think it's a little strange, but, whether or not you want to talk to Boss Lee, we still need to consider it. Boss Lee is working more and more closely with Duan Xiangloong, and the two of them have a huge common interest. Boss Lee seems to be getting better and better with Duan Xiangloong, at least on the surface.
"Oh, farewell?"
"No, after the alcohol, Boss Lee didn't mention this anymore." "I can't see Boss Lee's true attitude towards Duan Xiangloong right now. He has always been a capricious person," Liu said. "If I tell him, he might get angry and say that I want to separate the relationship between him and Duan Xiangloong."
Also, even if I have to tell Boss Lee about this, I can't tell him about it. That way, I will let him know about my secret contact with you. Boss Lee is the most afraid of this. If you really need to say it, you have to do it yourself. "
Listening to Qin's logical explanation, I nodded: "Okay, I got it!"
"I can't go to the bathroom for too long, let's do it like this first. I'm going back first!" Qin hung up after saying that.
I put the phone down and thought for a long time.
The next morning, I stayed at home and chatted with my parents. When it was almost noon, I told my parents that I was going to visit some friends at Ningzhou. Then, I left my house, took a taxi to the town center, and went straight to Ningzhou.
On the way, I called Lee Shun and soon got through.
"Boss Lee, I'm back!" "No," I said.
"Oh, you're back. Why didn't you inform me in advance so that I could arrange for people to pick you up at the airport!" Lee Shun sounded rather happy on the phone: "When did you come back?"
"He came back the day before yesterday!"
"He came back the day before yesterday. Why are you only looking for me now? " Lee Shun's voice carried a deep bitterness: "You don't have me in your heart, do you?"
I said, "I brought Hai Zhu and Yun back. I was at my parents' home the day before yesterday, and went to Hai Zhu's home to meet her parents. Since I've finished working today, I will quickly contact you."
"That means I'm the third person in your heart besides your parents and mother-in-law." Lee Shun's voice became spirited again: "I'm Little San. Alright, I'm rather happy with this Little San. I like being this Little San. Where are you now? "
"On the way to the Ningzhou!"
"Hey, brat, why didn't you wait for me to send a car to pick you up? No, I'm not sending a car to pick you up. I'm personally going to pick you up, and I also need to see your parents." Lee Shun said, "Why don't you go home first and wait for me at home. I'll take a Mercedes-Benz to pick you up and look at our dad and mom at the same time."
Lee Shun's treatment was something I couldn't afford. I hurriedly said, "No, no, when I wasn't home, my parents told me that you came to visit me twice. This is really too much for me. How can I keep troubling Boss Lee?"
"Look, aren't we being too polite? We are brothers, why are we being so hypocritical and courteous between brothers?" "No need." Lee Shun laughed: "Alright then, since you're so polite, then I won't act tough anymore. Come on, go directly to the Southern Courtyard Hotel, I'm in Room 809."
Thus, I hung up the phone and went straight to Ningzhou Southern Garden Hotel. Once I reached the hotel, I went straight up to Room 809.
He knocked on the door.
"The door isn't closed, come in!" Lee Shun's voice.
Lee Shunzheng was sitting neatly on the sofa in the outer room and smoking. When he saw me, he stood up, clapped his hands and laughed loudly: "My blood brother, you're here at Ningzhou again. "Welcome, welcome!"
I smiled. "I came to see you!"
Lee Shun waved at me, gesturing for me to sit down. I sat on the sofa beside him. Lee Shun also sat down. He handed me a cigarette: "Here, I'll light it for you."
I touched my lighter. "No, I'll do it myself!"
"Hey — what's the matter with you? Is it easy for me, Lee Shun, to light a cigarette for someone else? Why don't you just let me have a chance? " Lee Shun grinned at me, showing me a mouth full of yellow teeth, the middle teeth have turned black. I know it's because of his long skating.
Lee Shun lit up a cigarette for me and then washed a few mouthfuls himself. He looked at me with interest and said, "It was great coming back this time. I pay my respects to my father-in-law. is my father-in-law's home in the city of Ningzhou? "
I nodded. "Yes!"
"Alright, when we meet in the afternoon, I'll go and visit your father-in-law and mother-in-law. I'll give you some face. " Lee Shun said with a smile.
When I heard that, my heart quivered. I definitely can't let Lee Shun go and meet up with him again. That will only give me another bargaining chip in Lee Shun's hand. I hurriedly said: "No need, no need!"
"What's wrong?" Why? Is a boss like me not qualified? " Lee Shun's face twitched.
I hastily replied, "No, it's mainly because my relationship with Hai Zhu has not been decided. It's still too early to go."
"Oh, that seems to make sense." Lee Shun said ominously, and then said: "Well then, I won't make things difficult for you. I'm glad you came to see me today. Oh yeah, Yi Ke, this is the first time you've come to see me, right? In the past, I was the one who took the initiative to look for you. "
I said, "I'm ashamed. I'm ashamed. Please forgive my rudeness. "
"What are you being so courteous for, forgive my ass." Lee Shun laughed: "I don't care about these small things, no matter if you look at me or at you, in short, I'm very happy to see you. At noon today, I have already arranged for a private room in the restaurant to be prepared for you. "
"I can't afford it, this is too much trouble for Boss Lee!" I said politely.
"You birdman, why are you being so courteous to me? Acting cool? " Lee Shun said.
I stopped talking and smiled.
"At the winery at noon today, I want you to meet someone!" Lee Shun smiled at me mysteriously.
"Who is it?" "No," I said.
"Of course you're familiar with this person, but he might not know that you know him!" Lee Shun shook his legs.
My heart tightened as I looked at Lee Shun: "The person you're talking about is —"
"Duan — xiang — — Long!" Lee Shun spat out these three words, and suddenly his two cloudy eyes shot straight at me like arrows.
My heart skipped a beat, and my brain thumped.
At this moment, from the content and manner of Lee Shun's speech just now, I suddenly realized: Lee Shun already knows the relationship between Duan Xiangloong and me!
Since he knows about the relationship between Duan Xiangloong and me, then Lee Shun obviously knows about my past Ningzhou.
