Chapter 415: The Battle Of The Exes, Who Will Die First
Shocked by her sudden outburst, Chi Hailang replied after a while, “What’s the matter with you? You have never lost your temper with me before.”
Li Beinian realized that she indeed reacted too strongly.
Calming down, she could feel a bitter aftertaste from this whole incident.
Facing away from him, she held back her tears and, with a slight rasp in her voice, asked, “What about him? Since he lent his car to you.”
“Lieutenant Gu gave him a ride,” Chi Hailang gently replied as he put down the food. He felt that something was amiss from the tone of her voice. “Sister Nian, I have a question.”
“Ask away.”
“Are you in the midst of a cold war with Leader Mu?”
Li Beinian held her breath and immediately mocked. “Please, I don’t have the right to be in a cold war with him.”
As she said this, her heart ached.
She wasn’t wrong. When did she have the right to be in a cold war with him?
He was always dominant in their relationship.
She owed him so much as he had given her help so many times. It felt as though she didn’t even have the right to speak in his presence.
When did she have the right to be in a cold war with him?
As tears started to well up in her eyes, she went straight into her room and slammed the door. She couldn’t even bring herself to look back.
As Chi Hailang looked at the delicacies on the table, he sighed heavily. “Women!”
He picked up his cell phone and sent Mu Xichen a text message. “You’re done for. Beinian doesn’t get angry often. You’re the first person I’ve seen who caused her to be this angry. You’re indeed a hell of a guy!”
When Mu Xichen received the message, he was sitting in the backseat of a Hummer.
He stared at the message for a long time before looking outside the car window.
Even though he maintained a calm composure, he was still unsettled.
For the next few days, Li Beinian anticipated Mu Xichen’s return so that she could return the money and resolve the other matters.
However, now it felt as though he was avoiding her. He didn’t appear during this period.
As she didn’t receive any acting calls, Li Beinian headed to the Chi Family home to look for her Godparents in the day. She then returned to Qing Shui Fu in the night.
Her thoughts and insecurities would overwhelm her whenever she was alone. As a result, she would try to sleep whenever she could.
A multitude of scenes flooded her dreams. It was so chaotic that she couldn’t make out a coherent narrative.
Suddenly, there was a huge tremor, and Li Beinian was jerked awake.
When she opened her eyes, she saw that it was already dark outside.
The empty room was only filled with the sound of a ringtone. If she tuned that out, what was left was only silence.
After being startled for a few moments, Li Beinian reached for her phone on the bedside table. The number shown on the screen was a foreign number belonging to Guang City.
“Hello. This is Li Beinian, right?” A voice said jokingly. It was a familiar voice. There was an obvious slur in the voice, and the person had a cigarette in his mouth. “This is Jiang Yeqing.”
It was him.
Li Beinian sat up and asked nonchalantly, “Can I help you?”
“Yeah, you can. Why else would I look for you?” Jiang Yeqing’s voice became clearer, and the sound of a puff of cigarette being breathed out could be heard. “Your ex and your current boys are in a conflict now, do you want to join in and watch the show?
Li Beinian was speechless.
Ex and current, what a simple and crude way of identifying them.
However, Li Beinian quickly explained. “I’m sorry. Both of them are my exes. Let them fight. It has nothing to do with me.”
Jiang Yeqing choked on his cigarette and looked at Mu Xichen with pity. Shaking his head, he asked, “Little girl, you’re completely unaware of the situation, right?”
“I don’t want to be aware.”
“Mu Donglin has brought ten bottles of whiskey and challenged Mu Xichen.” Letting out another puff, Jiang Yeqing said with some interest in his voice, “Mu Xichen was an idiot and agreed. The reason why I’m calling you is to invite you to come over and have a look. The battle of the exes, let’s see who will die first.”
