Ye Meng immediately said: “No need, I came to…”
Li Jinyu didn’t care whether she needed it or not. With one hand indifferently in his pocket, he answered and immediately put it on speaker, not even looking at her, coldly saying to the person on the other end: “What’s up?”
A familiar female voice came from the other end, and Ye Meng found it quite ironic. She hadn’t expected fate to be so interesting.
Jiang Luzhi seemed to be in a hurry when making this call. “I just saw your WeChat. I’m sorry, Jinyu, I got back together with my ex-boyfriend.”
Li Jinyu responded indifferently: “Congratulations.”
Jiang Luzhi said: “I’ll explain the details when I come back, but I really can’t let him go. I’ve already registered the marriage with him. I’ve wronged you in our relationship, and I’ll personally apologize to Grandmother when I come back.”
Li Jinyu: “Okay, anything else?”
The “okay” sounded strangely obedient.
“No, I’m sorry I didn’t inform you immediately these past few days. It’s been chaotic,” Jiang Luzhi sounded extremely apologetic.
After the call ended, Li Jinyu locked his phone, gave Ye Meng a cold glance, and said: “Satisfied now? Stop bothering me.” Then he walked inside.
“Wait,” Ye Meng had just called out when dazzling headlights suddenly flashed past. She narrowed her eyes and saw a Mercedes slowly driving in on the small road outside the bar. She didn’t pay much attention at first, since there were too many Mercedes in town. But instinctively, she glanced at the license plate, and if she remembered correctly, it should be Cheng Kairan’s car.
Ye Meng no longer cared about apologizing and ran back to the bathroom without another word.
But unfortunately, as soon as Cheng Kairan got out of the car, he strode towards the bathroom. He had seen Ye Meng.
The mountain wind howled around the bar, cold air rushed in through the windows, making the partition doors buzz, and Ye Meng, with sweat seeping down her back, pressed against the door panel, not daring to breathe, afraid that Cheng Kairan would smell her and rush in.
The waiter was desperately negotiating with Cheng Kairan: “Not appropriate, not appropriate, this is the ladies’ room, really not appropriate.”
Cheng Kairan was now like a pressure cooker about to explode: “I just want to take a look, just to see if it’s my friend!”
Ye Meng knew well the consequences of being caught by Cheng Kairan tonight. With Method Yan not around, Cheng Kairan would surely kill her. Her heart was racing so fast, and her ears were buzzing so loudly that she could barely hear what the people outside were saying.
“I just want to take one fucking look! If it’s not who I’m looking for, I’ll leave immediately!”
Cheng Kairan’s voice had reached the peak of impatience. Ye Meng felt as if thousands of flaming arrows were shooting at her!
Ye Meng felt her entire body’s pulse tensing as if about to explode. She steeled herself, thinking maybe she should go out and talk to him.
Tap tap.
Someone lightly knocked on the window.
In the dim night, Ye Meng saw the shadow of a slender hand, its index finger slightly beckoning to her.
She slowly walked over and pushed the window open.
Li Jinyu was leaning lazily against the wall by the window with a composed expression. “Can you swim?” He pointed down at the dirty little river below, which was covered with plastic bags and some unknown rotting materials.
Ye Meng: “Why don’t you show me how it’s done?”
Li Jinyu: “Very well, consider me meddlesome.”
Ye Meng: “Do you have any other ideas?”
Li Jinyu leaned against the wall, pulling out a pair of black gloves from somewhere, and began to put them on leisurely: “Yes, call me ‘big brother’ and let me hear it. Because I hate when people call me ‘little brother’ in front of my friends.”
