imaginary lover

"I got some news about King R." Li Qiongyu sat on the sofa in the study, with his elbows on his legs, his chin propped up, and he looked at Xiaoyi seriously.

When Ah Rong mentioned that Li Qiongyu, the head of Zhisheng, was coming to visit, Xiaoyi didn't take it seriously, and was still discussing with Meifang whether to take Meimei to the back mountain for an outing when the weather is fine.

"The shooting range in the back mountain," Meifang said reproachfully, "can you put away the guns and ammunition after you finish playing? The iron gate is not locked tightly with a long chain. If Meimei gets in, it will be very dangerous."

Xiaoyi absently nodded and agreed, thinking that Meimei was so small that she was not as tall as a gun, so she had nothing to worry about, so she raised her eyes and saw Arong leading Li Qiongyu over.

"Xiaoyi, there is something that needs to be discussed." Li Qiongyu said.Meifang stood up, bowed and saluted with a smile, Li Qiongyu nodded uncomfortably and looked away.

Xiaoyi invited Li Qiongyu into the study, but Li Qiongyu was helpless, talking about King R.

"Oh? Is he still in the country?" Xiaoyi raised his eyebrows. It would be great if he could see King R.

"It's not very accurate, but the eyeliner I sent sent back a message, and it seems to be at the dock of D City."

"Then what are you waiting for, let's go now." Xiaoyi stood up abruptly, "King R retired six years ago, leaving Rong Teng's huge organization in ruins, and there is no news about him so far. I want to see where he is. What are you busy with?"

"No, just in case, what is he hiding from?" Li Qiongyu raised his hand to stop Xiaoyi, "Let's go, the noise is too loud, isn't it exposing him. Let's take a long-term plan." Li Qiongyu stopped and turned his head Looking out the window, "Why is your yard so noisy?"

Xiaoyi stood up and looked out, frowning.

It's Zhang Yinya.

With her hips crossed in the yard, she scolded the servant for something. The servant bent over and couldn't stop apologizing, but Zhang Yinya was still relentless.

"You still let her do whatever she wants in the headquarters?" Li Qiongyu looked at Zhang Yinya with disgust.

Xiao Yi shrugged: "Otherwise?"

"If you want me to say, get rid of it as soon as possible, otherwise it will be a disaster sooner or later."

Xiaoyi sighed and said nothing more.

Chen Meifang stayed with Li Qiongyu for dinner, and the three of them kept their own concerns in silence.Xiaoyi stared at the pattern on the dinner plate, frowning as if doing a difficult research; Li Qiongyu lowered his eyes to think about something, and occasionally raised his eyes to look at Chen Meifang; Chen Meifang felt the gaze, and refused to meet his gaze.Zhang Yinya looked around and smiled knowingly. "The head of the family," she said with a full sense of superiority, "the relationship between the three of you is really delicate." While scanning Meifang and Qiongyu back and forth, her intentions were obvious.

Xiaoyi glanced at her, but didn't make a sound.Zhang Yinya didn't get a response, so she made fun of herself and turned to Li Qiongyu again.

"Master Li, you judge the reasoning. Obviously I am also a wife, so why is the master treating me so coldly?" He pursed his lips aggrievedly, although his appearance was pitiful, it gave Li Qiongyu a chill.

"Don't you know the reason yourself?" Li Qiongyu didn't even bother to look at her, and played with the spoon next to the dinner plate, leaving Zhang Yinya embarrassed to continue the conversation.

"Yin Ya, if you've finished eating, go back and rest as soon as possible." Meifang said kindly and gave Zhang Yinya a step, trying to ease the atmosphere.

"Why, then leave you here to accompany the head of the family?" Zhang Yinya immediately retorted, "Do you think I'm stupid? I don't know what tricks you are playing, do you want everyone to revolve around you?" ?”

"Crack!" Li Qiongyu slammed the spoon on the table.Zhang Yinya was frightened and fell silent.

"Get out of here." Xiao Yi said without emotion, Zhang Yinya opened her mouth to say something, saw that the head of the house was gloomy and seemed about to have an attack, so she had to obediently obey.

The dining table returned to the frozen air.

Li Qiongyu's cell phone rang suddenly, he picked it up, frowning and listening to the report.

"The clue was cut off at Pier D." After hanging up the phone, he said to Xiaoyi.

Xiaoyi sighed: "I always vaguely feel that King R is hiding from us."

"No, I miss you too much."

"I'm still searching for possible clues about Rongteng's desertion, let's meet again if there is a situation." Xiaoyi said.

"Me too, I will come to you after the internal meeting."

Meifang looked at the two of them: "Before at school, you both enthusiastically talked about merging, but now, there are still two divisions, and it is very troublesome to communicate. If the strength of the two parties is combined, the search for King R will also be successful." More progress?"

Xiaoyi and Li Qiongyu looked at each other without speaking.

Meifang smiled wryly: "I understand what you're thinking, if it's because of me..." She lowered her head with a painful expression.

"No, no, nothing about Meifang, it's a long story..." Li Qiongyu hastily denied it.

"What's wrong with you?" Xiaoyi asked with concern when he noticed that Meifang's expression was not right.

"It's a little uncomfortable," Meifang said apologetically.

Xiaoyi helped her up: "If you are tired, don't force yourself to accompany us, go back to your room and rest." Meifang nodded, bowed to Li Qiongyu, and left the table.

Li Qiongyu watched Meifang's slender figure leave with Xiaoyi's company, showing a worried expression.For a while, there was no one around, and the air was so quiet that it was a bit lonely.

"Is Meifang not feeling well recently?" Li Qiongyu asked after Xiaoyi sat down again.

"Yeah." Xiaoyi nodded, "You know, Meifang is born with a weak constitution, and she was a little tired a while ago. I sent someone to prescribe some Chinese herbal medicines to take, but I haven't seen any improvement yet."

"I have some rare medicines from ancient tombs. It should be effective when combined with Chinese herbal medicine. I will bring them to you tomorrow." Li Qiongyu said.

Xiaoyi waved his hand: "No need, Meifang will be afraid of underground things."

"Okay then." Li Qiongyu said compromisingly, but at the same time he was a little worried, "Is something wrong? Why are you so tired?"

"The nanny stepped down the stairs and fell down the stairs. She injured her ankle and went home to recuperate for half a month. I asked Ah Rong to find a temporary replacement, but there was no suitable one. During this period, Meifang took care of Meimei while taking care of her. Taking care of housework, I'm a little tired." Xiaoyi explained.

"How could you let Meifang do the housework?" Li Qiongyu felt dissatisfied, "You know that she is in poor health, but you still... and your nanny is too careless!"

"It wasn't careless," Xiaoyi frowned, "I heard from the servant that she got into an argument with Zhang Yinya for some reason and was pushed down. But there is no evidence, and it's not good that she is the only one asking."

"Zhang Yinya is really not shy at all now, but you are so swallowed up." Li Qiongyu complained.

Xiaoyi thought for a while, but finally remained silent.It was Meifang's intention to keep Zhang Yinya in order to avoid accidents. Xiaoyi would naturally obey her, but once Li Qiongyu found out that his quick temper, he would immediately go to Meifang for verification, and would disturb her rest.Xiaoyi said in his heart to forget it, it is better to solve his own affairs by himself.

"You have changed your mind." Seeing that Xiaoyi did not refute, Li Qiongyu mistakenly thought it was acquiescence, and accused, "I was willing to let go and entrust Meifang to you because I was sure that she would be happier with you. Now it seems that, I did make mistakes."

"Qianyu, things are not what you think."

"Then what will happen? Tell me! They are all unreliable excuses anyway!" Li Qiongyu was furious, "Meifang guessed right, we canceled the merger because I can't understand you You're so cowardly! You can't take care of her at all!" Qiongyu stood up, "I want to take her away, so you can sleep and fly with that wild woman who appeared out of nowhere!"

"Qianyu, don't mess around!" Xiaoyi hurriedly stopped, afraid that the fierce quarrel would disturb Meifang.

"I'm messing around? You're the one fucking messing around!" Li Qiongyu roared, pushed Xiaoyi away, turned and left.

"Stop." With a click behind him, Li Qiongyu turned his head and saw Xiaoyi raised his gun to face him.

"Calm down, don't disturb Meifang." Xiaoyi said.

"What are you afraid of? Huh?" Without fear, Li Qiongyu stepped forward to put his chest on the muzzle of the gun, "Shoot, let Meifang see, what have you become all these years? You got married but still dismissed She works as a teacher and married a concubine, so now she's going to take her brother's life too?"

Fearing that the gun would go off, Xiaoyi hurriedly pulled it back, but Li Qiongyu held it tight and refused to move. The two sides wrestled together, and the gun flew out.

Picked up by the person at the door.Xiaoyi looked over, Meifang's eyes were filled with heavy grief.

"Don't do this." Xiaoyi sensed the inexplicable despair in her words, and had a bad premonition.

"Meifang, give me the gun. This is between the two of us, it has nothing to do with you." Xiaoyi persuaded.
