“Why do you think so?” Second brother asked me.
“I don’t know why, but I know that they don’t like me and don’t want me to be part of that family.”
“Maybe this thing is not that serious, it’s just because you think too much. If you were Nala Yao, then you would still be counted as an outsider to some extent. But it’s totally different now that you’re Nan Su, who is my own sister, my father’s own daughter, so they dare not to do anything to you.”
Since my second brother had been convincing me, finally I agreed to go back to the Hai City, and I would come back if our family meeting was held here.
The next morning, I took the high-speed train to the Hai City.
Then I directly took a taxi back to Maple Villa. Zhen was very delighted to see me come back and she asked me why my husband didn’t come together, since she thought I was out with Leon Hua.
I answered, “Leon can not come back for the time being since he still has business to deal with. Don’t worry about him.”
Then I went upstairs to Leon’s room and sat on his bed in a daze.
After sitting for a while, I got bored and lay down again. Then I started to fancied that he would suddenly appear and told me that he was only playing a joke on me.
But he never showed up. Looking at the sun out of the window dejectedly, I suddenly felt my heart was as empty as the sea after I woke up from my nap.
Then I went downstairs to have lunch after washing my face and rinsing my mouth. Although there were many delicious dishes on the table, which were cooked by Zhen, I had no appetite at all and I suddenly felt this house was very big and empty.
After the meal, I drove out and came to Ying Hua’s clinic of the traditional Chinese medicine.
She directly told me that she had asked almost all her friends, but no one had seen Leon and there was no news about him at all.
“Leon lied to me that he had gone to America, but I asked someone to check his information and there is no record of him leaving the country at all. So he definitely is still in Hai City and hiding somewhere.” I told Ying angrily.
Ying stared at me in surprise, “What does he mean? What kind of game is he playing? No wonder he didn’t even say goodbye to me before he went abroad, it turns out that he has never left at all!”
“I don’t know what he means either, maybe he loses his mind.”
Ying thought for a while and said, “Or he lied to you because he really falls in love with someone else and is too embarrassed to break up with you?”
“I think there’s no need for him to be embarrassed. It’s very unlikely.” I was also being very direct.
“Then what do you think is the reason?” She asked me.
I answered, ” I don’t know.” I really wished I had knew why.
But I really thought it was very unlikely for Leon to have a new lover. I had no use for him and he could be in love with other women whenever he wanted to, so there was no need for him to pretend that he loved me very much to please me at all.
Besides, I could not believe that he would hide himself for some other women because he even didn’t like Leilei Feng, who was so young and beautiful.
“Have you asked Nan Lin? Did she provide any clues?”
I said no, it seemed that they had been out of touch for a long time.
“Ask Nan Lin if she has any news about Leon.” Ying suggested.
“Okay, I will go and ask her. Ying, you must keep inquiring his whereabouts for me, we must find out him!”
“I will. What about having a drink together tonight?” Ying asked.
I said, ” Drink again? I’m afraid I can’t drink in this state and mood.”
She said, “It’s not called ‘Drink again’. In fact, we haven’t drunk together for a long time. Leon is just hiding somewhere, and he’s probably fine, so there’s no need to worry about him too much. Anyway, he can play his hide and seek, we can have our drink, just don’t let him affect our lives anymore.”
Well, it sounded very easy, but it was actually very hard to do. But I still agreed to drink with her tonight. Anyway, I had nothing to do, and it was also not a bad idea to turn to the bottle for comfort.
Then I called Nan Lin. At first, she refused to answer, but then she finally answered and asked me what was up after I kept calling her.
When I asked where she was, she reluctantly said that she was at work. Then I asked her to tell me her location so that I could come to her because I had something important to tell her.
After about ten minutes, she sent me her location, and I didn’t expect the place where she worked should be Hai City Telecom, which was the company managed by Leon and Chenxing Hua successively.
“The reason why I work here is not approaching Leon, I just want to find a job to support myself and I’ve never mentioned my relationship with Leon to anyone in the company. No one recognized me at all.”
As soon as we met, Nan Lin explained to me anxiously.
I waved my hand, saying, “We’re not talking about that today, and I don’t care about that either. Now that Leon no longer works in the group, no one will care even if you are transferred to the headquarter.”
“I happen to want to ask you about this thing. Why did he resign as the chairman of the group? That Xiangyuan Feng is not half as good as him, and even all the leaders of the company do not think she’s qualified, why on earth did he give her his position?” Nan Lin was also very excited.
I waved again, “We’re not talking about that either. I want to ask you have you seen Leon?”
“Of course, he met with reporters when he resigned, which I saw on the video.
“I mean have you seen him after he resigned?”
“No, he hasn’t contacted me for a long time. He concerned me very much before, but then he seemed to give me the cold shoulder gradually. But he still knows that I work in the group and he also asked the leader of the group to arrange me a good position.” From what she said, I felt she wanted me to know that she had not been forgotten by Leon yet.
“Leon attaches great importance to relationship, so of course he won’t forget you. I know about this thing and I also have agreed with him to do so.” I said calmly.
Actually, I didn’t know anything about it and of course I was lying to her because I didn’t want her to show off.
“You didn’t come here just to kick me out of the company, did you?”
“No, I just want to know if you have seen Leon these days. Now that you haven’t, then just forget it.”
“Did Leon quarrel with you again?”
“No, I just casually asked you, don’t take it seriously.”
Nan Lin looked incredulous, “If you hadn’t quarreled, you wouldn’t have asked me where he was. Anyway, how can I know where he is now that you, who is his wife, even doesn’t know!”
I was a little regretted about asking her about that thing. Besides, I had already knew that she certainly didn’t know this thing either.
“In fact, today I came to you not mainly for Leon, but for another thing.”
Nan Lin checked her watch and said, “Just tell me now, I still have to work, it’s not good to to be away from my office too long.”
“Why did you lie to me when you said that you didn’t know Nan Su now that you actually know her?”
She was stunned for a second, “I really don’t know. I don’t even know who this Nan Su is?”
“You don’t know Nan Su? Then do you know me? Now look at my face and think carefully, if you know her or not?”
This time, I saw panic flickered in her eyes, “What do you want to say on earth?”
“I want to say, I am just Nan Su, and I have remembered all those things before.” I said, staring at her.
