Capítulo 1143: Chapter 1143: Like, But Not Enough to Love
Recently, I don’t know what’s wrong with Brother, not only is he reticent, but he’s also filled with a strong aura of hostility.
I don’t know who provoked him, making the entire rcenary Group apprehensive, afraid of getting on his wrong side.
Yun Lih glanced back at him and said in a low voice, “Co in and speak.”
Yun Ling closed the door and hurriedly walked up to him, “Brother, there’s a bit of trouble with the Cloud City branch in the country.”
“Hmm,” Yun Lih nodded as he lit a cigarette, “In what aspect?”
“Every aspect…,” Yun Ling awkwardly scratched his head, “Dostic managent is too strict, and the rcenary Group’s approval to settle in can’t go through.”
Yun Lih walked leisurely to the desk, sat down, took the cigarette from his mouth, and said casually, “Then go legit.”
Yun Ling dug his ear, “What, Brother? Did I hear wrongly? Huh?”
Going legit with the rcenary Group, what will we rely on to make money afterward?
It’s the largest rcenary organization internationally, going legit is not that easy.
At this mont, Yun Lih opened a drawer and took out a few sheets of A4 paper, “Turn the Cloud City branch into a legitimate company. You have one month.”
Yun Ling took a few seconds to react, then relaxed, “If it’s just the branch going legit, that’s easy, I can get it done in half a month.”
Yun Lih’s dark eyes focused on the A4 paper in his hand, with marks on the bottom corner as if it had been rubbed over often.
Yun Ling leaned over to look at the paper, oh, it’s that woman with the surna Xia again.
Recently, his brother might be obsessed, repeatedly pulling all sorts of information about Xia Siyu for two weeks.
He even went back to the Parma Shang’s old house to get information.
In short, the na Xia Siyu is now known by everyone in the rcenary Group.
People in the underworld are guessing, this person is either the future lady of the rcenary Group, or the arch-enemy of the group’s leader.
“Brother, do you like her?” Yun Ling asked boldly out of curiosity.
Yun Lih didn’t speak, but his gaze was covered with a dark haze.
Seeing this, Yun Ling murmured softly, “Brother, are you only capable of secret love, not open love? If you like her, go for it, in this fast-food era, secret love is long outdated.”
Yun Lih clenched the cigarette in his mouth and nodded towards the door, “Get out.”
Yun Ling chuckled awkwardly and then daringly probed, “Brother, do you want to teach you a few tips on picking up girls?”
Yun Lih slowly lifted his eyelids and cast Yun Ling a faint, invisible look, causing the latter to shrink his neck imdiately and turn to flee.
In the empty top-floor office, Yun Lih lowered his gaze at the information in his hand, while Yun Ling’s question was still lingering in his mind.
Does he like Xia Siyu?
The answer is, he likes her, but not to the degree of love.
It took him about two years from having a budding affection to accumulating it into liking Xia Siyu.
Since the British Imperial days when she accompanied him in rehabilitation, her image has been imprinted on his heart.
And the last ti he pushed her away was because he was worried that he was beyond cure and didn’t want to delay her.
Going back to find her again was just following his true emotions.
But Xia Siming is right, he is far less passionate than he appears to be, yet he insists on confusing her with Xia Siyu’s affection.
He Chen said not to care about reputation, but to let Xia Siyu feel his liking.
That’s what he did, but the results were unsatisfactory, at least Xia Siming saw through his clumsy acting.
Perhaps he used the wrong approach from the start. He is like this, and ultimately can’t turn one feeling into ten asures of truth.
Yun Lih smoked heavily, unconsciously stroking the lower right corner of the paper, which contained Xia Siyu’s hospital records from last year.
Even though she attended Li Qiao and Yin Mo’s wedding, nobody knew she was in the hospital during that ti.
In the first half of the year, Xia Siyu was undergoing rehabilitation therapy in the hospital. She had been shot in Myanmar on that arm, damaging nerves and bones, and required over three months of rehab before she could move freely, with dical advice clearly stating she should not lift heavy objects or engage in strenuous activity thereafter.
And from mid-year to the ti of Yin Mo’s wedding, she was receiving treatnt for depression, having developed moderate-to-severe depression unbeknownst to anyone.
After her condition was under control, the Xia Family began arranging blind dates for her, and Lu Jingan was the good match they chose.
Yun Lih had looked at the details in the information countless tis, so many tis that he could recite them from mory.
He had known of Xia Siyu’s affection long ago and had even personally shattered her illusions.
But when he started re-investigating her past, Yun Lih only felt a complex mix of emotions and heartache.
He owed her more and more.
The surveillance from the Shang Family Old House from the previous year was all taken back by him as well. He spent three days watching all the records related to Xia Siyu.
She tirelessly prepared dicine for him, ran errands for him, not even allowing Shang Lu to say a single discouraging word, even if it was a joke.
Yun Lih’s eyes brimd with dark red blood streaks, and his chest was all ssed up with various inexplicable emotions.
He closed his eyes, his throat moving incessantly, and after a mont, picked up his phone and made a call, “Send her address in Faliang.”
…
Faliang, where it’s spring all year round.
After an eight-hour long flight, Xia Siyu and Lu Jingan landed at the Holiday Hotel in Lyon City at 1 PM local ti.
But a small mishap occurred when checking in.
Due to a registration error at the hotel backend, only one suite was available for check-in.
Xia Siyu frowned slightly, but Lu Jingan reassured her, “It’s okay, I can look for another hotel.”
Before Xia Siyu could speak, the hotel receptionist quickly explained, “Our suites all have independent twin bedrooms, so it’s actually okay for the two of you to share one suite even if you’re not a couple.”
Xia Siyu wasn’t so picky as to insist on having two separate rooms. She glanced at Lu Jingan carrying the luggage and said indifferently, “No need to go out and look, just take one room first, and we’ll switch when there’s a vacancy.”
Just like that, the news of the two staying in the sa room at the Holiday Hotel in Lyon City reached Yun Lih’s ears within twenty minutes.
…
Being in Faliang for the first ti, Xia Siyu had little interest in going out to explore.
She took a photo of the street and sat cross-legged on the bed in the bedroom, directly dropping the photo into the border Liuzi’s WeChat group.
Xia Lao Wu: Look at the picture, guess the location.
Shen Qingye: This doesn’t look dostic.
Su Moshi: Is that French on the signs?
Song Liao: Sister Wu, have you co to find ?
Shen Qingye: Did you go to Faliang?
Xia Siyu laughed and sent two emojis, then replied to Song Liao: Sister isn’t here to see you, Sister is here to relax.
Shen Qingye: Alone?
Su Moshi: ???
Xia Siyu stared at her phone screen, uncertain of how to respond for a mont.
In just half a minute, Song Liao directly searched and posted her hotel check-in information into the group.
Song Liao: [Image]
Song Liao: Sister Wu is staying with soone nad Lu Jingan.
The others in the group, including Shen Qingye, imdiately entered gossip mode.
Once a na is known, there’s no information they can’t find.
Over the next few minutes, Lu Jingan’s personal history, education experience, past girlfriends, and family financial status were continuously relayed in the group…
Xia Siyu, forced to hear the gossip: “…”
anwhile, Shen Qingye made a friendly ‘inquiry’ call to Yun Lih, “Brother Lih, you’re not up to it too, I thought you could be my Fifth Sister’s husband, but it turns out soone beat you to it. It’s really regrettable when you think about it.”
Through the receiver, a harsh wind howled, followed by Yun Lih’s extrely low, displeased voice, “What do you an… soone beat to it?”
