Upon hearing Jiang City, Fu Yuling fell silent.
She had never been there.
But from the original novel, she knew how turbulent and terrifying it was.
And even…
Thinking of this, Fu Yuling looked at Xiao Rui a few more times.
“Your name is Qi Rui, right?”
“???”
Xiao Rui was a bit confused. “How do you know my surname?”
Fu Yuling smiled but said nothing. How did she know? She had just remembered someone else with the same surname. Unexpectedly, it turned out to be him.
Thinking of his fate, Fu Yuling didn’t ask further.
The two of them were silent at the door, which made Luo Xiao, who had just approached, think he was seeing things. He stopped and rubbed his eyes hard. After confirming that the person was indeed Xiao Rui, he turned around.
Wow, he had said they wouldn’t meet again, and yet here they were so soon.
Thinking of this, he slowly walked closer.
Fu Yuling saw him first and raised an eyebrow. “What are you doing here?”
“Looking for you!”
He replied boldly.
“Li Yan didn’t come, right?”
At his question, Xiao Rui laughed. “He didn’t come. If you want to see him next time, I’ll bring him.”
Knowing Li Yan wasn’t there, Luo Xiao became arrogant. He wrapped an arm around Xiao Rui’s neck as if they were close friends and spoke casually.
“Isn’t Li Dog a bit off? Last time, I don’t know what got into him, but he locked me up.”
At this point, he pulled Xiao Rui aside, making sure Fu Yuling couldn’t hear before continuing.
“Did Li Dog tamper with the food he gave me last time?”
“No…”
Halfway through, Xiao Rui remembered that after Li Yan told him to leave, he indeed went to the kitchen.
Seeing his reaction, Luo Xiao understood the answer and started to sneer.
“Li Dog, just wait for me. Do you think I’m a soft persimmon? I’ll make you pay!”
This threat was just for Xiao Rui to hear. When Luo Xiao was at the police station, he had said much worse.
When they walked back, Fu Yuling asked why they had been so secretive. Luo Xiao quickly shut it down.
“Nothing, just discussing life. Yeah, life.”
He couldn’t let anyone know he was being pushed around and humiliated!
In fact, even if Luo Xiao didn’t say anything, Fu Yuling could probably guess. She didn’t press the matter any further.
Xiao Rui wasn’t in a hurry to leave, and since Luo Xiao had come specifically to find Fu Yuling, he naturally didn’t plan to leave either.
So the three of them sat under the tree in the yard, with three cups of tea in front of them, emitting fragrant steam.
“Good tea!”
Having been a dealer for many years, Luo Xiao had seen all kinds of good stuff. He praised the tea Fu Yuling brewed.
“Why did you suddenly come looking for me?”
Her reminder excited Luo Xiao in an instant.
“That old man actually ran away with his wife and gave up the house! All my belongings were packed and thrown in the trash can. If I hadn’t gone early, a homeless person would have almost picked them up!”
“Can you believe it? The most important part is, they didn’t leave me a single penny! When I climbed over the wall, I found that my little safe hidden in the table cracks was completely gone!!!”
“Ahhhhh! I’m so angry!”
Whenever Luo Xiao mentioned them, he would blow up with rage and no one could calm him down.
Xiao Rui was in a bit of pain while holding back his laughter. He felt it was inappropriate to laugh at his misery, but then he noticed Fu Yuling laughing even more openly, so he didn’t hide it anymore.
