Chapter 25: It is better to torture slowly than to beat the fallen dog

Gu Tongwan only read the message sent by his adoptive parents and continued to scroll down the message bar.

A former colleague sent her a big piece of gossip. For example, the vice president of the internship company got into trouble recently. Not only was he repeatedly reported for sexual harassment in the workplace, he was also reported for abusing his power to deliberately replace other suppliers, and for his improper private life. The next day, his original wife even made a scene at the company.

There was also a message sent by Liao Yunyun two days ago, saying that the orphanage held a 50th anniversary celebration last week, and many people who had left the orphanage participated.

Even Chen Yanxi, whose whereabouts have always been mysterious and who has not been seen for many years, was among them.

Liao Yunyun also felt sorry for Gu Tongwan for not being able to catch the right opportunity and having to go on a business trip at that time, otherwise they could have gotten together with their childhood playmates.

Gu Tongwan didn't care much about these. After all, most of the people who were willing to go back to celebrate were those who were currently living a good life, or had achieved some success and were eager to come and show off. She had participated in several junior high school reunions before. The women were busy showing off their love lives, and the men were basically bragging at the dinner table.

However, when Liao Yunyun mentioned Chen Yanxi, Gu Tongwan couldn't help but think of the little brother in the orphanage before junior high school, who was four years older than him, with a thin build but a stubborn temper.

In fact, she, Chen Yanxi and Liao Yunyun have been in contact with each other over the years, and would occasionally send messages to wish each other a happy New Year and other holidays. However, because they are not in the same city, they have not seen each other for seven or eight years.

***

The person who sent the message, Liao Yunyun, was sitting in a corner of a club, drinking a glass of orange juice she ordered out of boredom, her eyes glancing at several seats around her that were already occupied.

Regardless of whether they are men or women, their dress and conversation exude the flavor of social elites.

Liao Yunyun had never been to this club, but she had seen people posting pictures of it on her WeChat Moments. The consumption in one night could reach five figures, and the initial membership fee was as high as six figures. The Baihe Club was quite famous in the small circle of Jiangcheng's upper class.

The White Crane Club is not the most high-end club in Jiangcheng, and is even only of medium level compared to the big clubs in the capital.

Even so, Liao Yunyun still claims that she is out of her league.

After knowing that she was to meet here today, Liao Yunyun specially changed into the Chanel suit she had bought earlier, which cost more than five figures from head to toe. After buying it, she was reluctant to wear it and kept it in the closet. Now, only when she is fully armed can she not feel inferior to others.

The other party was already more than ten minutes late, Liao Yunyun pursed her lips.

Over the years, acquaintances in the orphanage would occasionally organize various dinner parties. Among them, Liao Yunyun was the most active. After all, the most important thing in doing business is to build good relationships with all parties. Gu Tongwan also participated a few times at her instigation, but later stopped participating because of his busy studies and work.

The only exception was that person, who had been out of the orphanage for more than ten years and had not been in touch with his former friends. If Liao Yunyun had not kept his phone number and found him through WeChat search later, she might not have been able to contact him.

As she was complaining in her heart, a shadow appeared in front of her and covered her table. Liao Yunyun raised her head, and the first thing that caught her eye was a pair of extremely long legs, followed by a simple white shirt and black suit pants. The gold-plated Givenchy logo printed on the belt was quite eye-catching.

"Sorry, something delayed me a little."

The deep voice is like the sound of a spring flowing through rocks in a summer valley, pure and clean, soothing to the ears. It is no exaggeration to say that it can definitely beat all the current male voice actors.

Liao Yunyun is not a person who believes in appearance, nor is she someone who is easily seduced by male beauty, but the man in front of her is too superior in terms of his eyebrows and facial features.

Especially those black eyes, which were indifferent and could not be guessed or seen through.

It is a pair of beautiful, slightly narrow eyes, and the black pupils are like a whirlpool that can capture the soul.

The Adam's apple rolled slightly under his beautiful jaw, and the collar of his shirt set off his perfect neck.

It was the first time for Liao Yunyun to see a man who wore a white shirt and black trousers so appropriately.

Chen Yanxi, like her and Gu Tongwan, came from the Happy Orphanage, but the former entered society faster than them.

Although it was not the first time they met, for some reason, Liao Yunyun was still a little nervous before each meeting.

Soon Liao Yunyun's nervousness turned into surprise, but she also calmed down in a very short time.

"You didn't come to me just to reminisce about the past, did you?" Liao Yunyun rarely joked.

Chen Yanxi's narrow eyes slightly raised, seemingly smiling, but in fact there was indifference in his eyes.

"Can't we reminisce about the past?" Chen Yanxi asked back, sitting down in the seat opposite her naturally.

"Hehe~~" Liao Yunyun almost rolled her eyes.

"Wanwan's birthday is in two days. Please give this to her for me."

After a moment of silence, he continued, "I will be returning to the capital soon, so I won't be able to give it to her in person." A beautifully packaged box was pushed in front of Liao Yunyun.

Liao Yunyun took a glance and barely managed to hold back her twitching eyelids.

She knows the English name of Philippe Patek.

The cheapest model in the counter is about the same as the monthly turnover of her coffee shop.

"Chen Yanxi, you are so generous to Wanwan." Liao Yunyun put away the box and teased sourly.

At this moment, Liao Yunyun glanced forward, her brows furrowed in an instant, and uncontrollable anger and disgust flashed in her eyes.

Chen Yanxi turned slightly and saw a man and a woman sitting together with their arms around each other. They were very intimate, and it was obviously not an ordinary relationship between a man and a woman.

Liao Yunyun suddenly said "scumbag and bitch" out of nowhere and then took out her mobile phone to take several photos. She even stood up to find the angle, and then lowered her head to edit something and send it to someone.

After sending the message, Liao Yunyun seemed to have thought of something, raised her head and raised her eyebrows and said, "It's not my boyfriend, it's Wanwan's."

Chen Yanxi was startled, but his expression remained calm, and even the smile on his lips did not change at all. Then he asked, "When did she get a boyfriend?"

Liao Yunyun raised her head upon hearing this, and said with a half-smile, "It seems like they have just started dating for a while. The guy is said to be a rich second-generation man, and he has been pursuing Wanwan for half a year. You know, a strong woman is afraid of a clingy man."

Chen Yanxi raised the corner of his mouth slightly, and did not continue the conversation. His eyes gradually became colder as he looked at Zhang Heng's table.

Liao Yunyun couldn't help herself, and after sending the message, she asked again: "You've liked her for so long, are you really willing to see her with another man?"

The moment Chen Yanxi raised his eyelids, the coldness in his eyes made Liao Yunyun's heart jump, and then she heard him say in a tone that could not be called gentle: "Falcons never let go of any prey."

It is better to torture someone slowly than to beat him hard. Chen Yanxi is no longer at the age of acting on impulse, and he knows what will make people most desperate.

It was not until Chen Yanxi sent her back to the community that Liao Yunyun suddenly shivered all over.

There is a kind of person who endures and does not express himself, probably because he is preparing a big move, and she can't afford to offend him.

After coming out of the club, Liao Yunyun suddenly felt that the temperature outside had risen a lot. In less than a few minutes, a layer of hot sweat broke out on her forehead and nose.

"What a horrible weather!" He kept muttering to himself, not realizing that the unpredictable weather in Jiangcheng was a foreshadowing of an unprecedented disaster that would sweep across the entire Aquamarine Planet in the future.
