Monk continued, “She was hiding in her room when we arrived. The guy who hit her kept kicking the door outside, but luckily the door didn’t kick open.”
“Who was it?”
Meng Meng was silent for a moment and said, “Captain, a willing fighter, it has nothing to do with us, and we don’t have the power to enforce the law. Just save the man, you really have to find the police, and if Chu Xiaoxiao doesn’t want to press charges against him, there’s nothing we can do about this. She’s determined to marry this man and won’t prosecute him at all, so we’re asking for trouble.”
My heart ached like blood.
My fingernails pinched into my palm, forcing back my anger and pretending to be calm, I said, “I won’t be angry if you tell me, I just want to know the truth.”
“I’ll let Chu Xiaoxiao talk to you?” Monk said in a panic.
I heard a low growl from someone on the other end of his phone, followed by Chu Huaien whispering profanities, in the immediate aftermath, my heart tensed into a string, ready to explode, although the person on the other end of the phone hadn’t spoken, but I knew it was her by the sound of her breathing.
I had been holding my words in, but I didn’t know what to say at this point.
“What the hell are you doing by making such a big scene?” Chu Xiaoxiao’s tone was cold, like a stranger.
I wanted to question her, but once I heard this tone of rejection from her, I was like a schoolboy who had done something wrong, lowering my head and no longer having the strength to raise it.
I had never in my life imagined that I would feel a real sense of near-death outside the battlefield, and at that moment it was as if all my limbs had left me, leaving only a heart that was still beating with incessant pain.
I said, “Who was the man who hit you?”
“My husband.”
“You’re your husband and you’re not married.” I hastily retorted.
“So what, soon.”
I clenched my fists, “When?”
“The fifteenth day of the first month.”
The fifteenth day of the first month again!
I said, “Who the hell is he?”
“It doesn’t matter who it is, I’m getting married to him, so don’t call me anymore. I’m the one who’s sorry, but in this life, I can’t make it up to you, I’ll be a cow for you in the next life, bye.”
“Don’t hang up the phone.”
I didn’t expect the words to come out of my mouth with a sobbing tone when I was such an old man.
I didn’t want to lose face, but that’s how people are sometimes. The more I try to control things, the more I can’t.
As if there was a thorn stuck in my throat, my voice choked and I said, “Chu Xiaoxiao, let me ask you, who is this man?”
She was silent for a long time and I thought she had hung up, my teeth were full of tears and probably snot, a mess but I didn’t care at all.
“Liege.” She said softly, followed by a sigh, “Leave him alone, will you?”
There was a buzz in my head, like a sledgehammer had been slammed down on my head, this was very wrong.
If it was someone else, I would have admitted it, how could it be Li Ge?
Good details quickly linked up. Chu Xiao Xiao saw Li Ge at Guang Yao that day, when she still had no thoughts of Li Ge at all, there was no way she would be willing to marry him so soon.
I pinched the flesh of my thighs hard to calm myself down.
“What, what happened to him? He hit you?”
“You stay out of it. I’ll hang up if it’s okay.”
“I don’t know what’s happened to you, but Dash, trust me, I’ll come back for you.”
“Don’t, you mustn’t, the fifteenth day of the first month.”
“What?”
“I mean, I’m getting married on the fifteenth day of the first month, and you mustn’t come back.”
The strings in my head tightened for a moment and I said, “Don’t worry about talking, Mon Mon’s phone is not bugged, you can hint at me.”
Chu Xiaoxiao said, “Zhang Chao, we are impossible, I’m tired of playing with you. Let’s not meet before the 15th day of the first month. You mustn’t come back and ruin us.”
I said, “Can you insist on waiting for me, even until the 15th night of the first month?”
Chu Xiaoxiao said, “Yes.”
I was overjoyed, I knew she wouldn’t betray me.
I continued, “What’s going on?”
Just then, her tone became impatient and she said, “What do I have to say to you before you’re willing to give up? I’ve told you all about the breakup, so read it over a few more times yourself and don’t keep pestering me.”
“Dash!”
“Captain.” The phone changed to Meng Meng’s voice, Meng Meng was puzzled, “Look at us ……”
I said, “Oh, you embarrass Li Ge? I think I’m a dead man, she Chu Xiaoxiao dares to betray me, I will make them pay the price. You go back first, I’ll figure out this matter.”
“Good, Captain, don’t feel too bad for someone who doesn’t deserve it.”
I was worried about Meng Meng’s bad acting skills and didn’t dare to tell him what had happened at this time, so I didn’t tell the truth, I would contact him again when Meng Meng had returned.
Chu Xiaoxiao must have run into something, she told me not to go back before the 15th day of the first month, it didn’t seem like a backhanded remark, she should have really told me never to go back before the 15th day of the first month.
I believe that anyone in the world would betray me, but I don’t believe that Chu Xiaoxia would betray me. I should have thought that she couldn’t have fallen in love with another person in such a short period of time.
It was really Li Ge, the son of a b*tch.
Li Liang had nothing to do with it either!
I don’t believe it, his son is already engaged to my girlfriend and he, as a father, doesn’t know about it.
I thought Li Liang was a nice guy and thought he wouldn’t play games with me, but I was naive.
It’s the middle of the night and I can’t disturb anyone yet, but now that I know Chu Xiaoxiao hasn’t changed her mind, I’m much more relieved.
I gripped my phone and woke up early the next morning and approached Lao Gan.
Lao Gan was surprised to receive my call and asked me what I wanted.
“Li Ge, I’m going to put him out of work.”
Lao Gan didn’t ask much and said, “Good, Young Master, Happy New Year.”
I then remembered that it was New Year’s Day, and exchanged pleasantries with Lao Gan, wishing each other congratulations and prosperity.
“The young proprietor sounds like something is bothering him.”
I didn’t know what to say, letting people know that my girlfriend had run off with someone? No man can afford to lose face like that.
I said, “This ……”
“I’ve already heard some things, young boss you have to be calm, something more to discuss with Han lawyer, or even worse, can come to me to discuss. I’ve seen a lot of things, I’m not surprised.”
Now that my heart was in the right place, I couldn’t help but smile when I heard Old Gan reassure me like that.
“Old Gan, since you already know, I won’t hide it from you, what do you think I should do about this?”
“There is no such thing as no reason in the world, if this happened it must have been for a reason, did she mention any reason to you?”
“A reason?” I reacted, Lao Gan should be talking about whether Chu Xiaoxiao had made any requests for me, I whispered, “No, she didn’t say anything.”
“Haha, that’s a good guess, no one would toss you around without a purpose just to embarrass you? Think deeper yourself, if she left you, who would benefit the most? Young master, you’re so smart, you shouldn’t need me to break the news to you.”
I muttered in my mind, “Either you do or you don’t, I’d like you to break it to me in a hurry.
Old Gan is a senior, I still have to respect him a little bit, and hurriedly said two words of flattery.
