Xia Ling was silent for a long time before finally nodding.
It was not because she was convinced but because she did not want to listen to Sister Mai Na's persuasion anymore. She knew that Sister Mai Na had good intentions and only gave her such advice because she was really paying attention to him. However, he could only appreciate Sister Mai Na's goodwill, because her experience with Pei Ziheng was too horrible and complicated that no one else needed to know about them. Therefore, he was unable to tell Sister Mai Na why she insisted on rejecting him.
After some time, Sister Mai Na will forget about this situation and resolve it then it will not be too late.
On the other hand, Sister Mai Na thought that Xia Ling had accepted her and smiled. “That's a good girl. ”
Xia Ling brought home the property files with mixed feelings. He lay down on the sofa and looked at her repeatedly in a daze. It's definitely Number 666. This villa was supposed to belong to Xia Yu, but today, it was used by Pei Ziheng as a random reward.
What about Number 1314? What fate?
Pei Ziheng would probably give it as well, right?
He was deep in thought for a moment before hearing the doorbell ring.
Er Mao, who was napping on the carpet, opened her eyes and looked at him before looking at the door and lightly wagging her tail.
Thus, Xia Ling knew who her guest was. Only when Big Boss Li visited did his pet leopard react. "Er Mao, open the door," he said lazily.
This leopard understood humans and was practically trained into a dog by Li Lei. It was adept at catching frisbees, opening doors, and all sorts of other tricks. The only lacking trait was that he did not know how to bark. After hearing what he said, Uncle Er Mao moved his hairy ears, got up gracefully, and walked to the door in serious strides. He straightened his two hind legs and used his claws to press a button, causing the door to open silently.
“Yo, Er Mao's. “That, without a doubt, Li Lei. Not surprisingly, once he saw Er Mao, he smiled and leaned over to scratch his chin to greet her affectionately.
Er Mao used her large head to rub the legs of her owner's pants before walking to the other side of the carpet to lie down.
Li Lei walked up to the sofa and looked at Xia Ling, who was lying on it, and said, "Stop being so lazy! Come to eat something with me. "He thinks he's really the best owner in the world. Not only the accommodation, but also the food. As long as the two of them were at home, he would always drag her out to eat with him.
Xia Ling did not feel like moving. He slowly turned his body and sat up straight.
Because of his moves, huge stacks of real estate licenses and prize agreements fell and spread on the ground.
Li Lei crouched down to help him pick up the documents and glanced at the contents. He stopped before speaking. “Green Hill Pavilion? Pei Ziheng gave you one of the villas there? "
Xia Ling took the file from her hand without saying anything.
He became closer to Li Lei, but there were some restrictions to their closeness. They can eat and laugh together, but do not discuss deeper topics. The situation with Pei Ziheng was his biggest secret and his most painful wound. Touching the topic alone would hurt him greatly. He would rather this secret be kept in the dark forever than for anyone to dig it out.
Li Lei raised his head to look at her and his gaze hardened. "Why did Pei Ziheng give you something?"
"It's okay . “She said as she stuffed a stack of files into a large brown envelope and placed it a bit away from her. “He tried to apologize for misunderstanding me during the failure to scold. ”
His casual attitude caused his face to darken. "It was just an apology, yet he gave you such an expensive villa as a gift?"
Xia Ling frowned. “Bos, this is my personal business. "He doesn't like the way he interrogates her like a criminal. In the end, this was not Li Lei's problem. Why should he explain further to her?
"Return it," Li Lei said.
Xia Ling's face turned cold. “I've already said that this is my personal issue. ”
On the carpet, Er Mao, who was sleeping for a while, lightly raised her head and looked at them warily.
"No," he said. He doesn't like it when other people interfere in his problems. Moreover, Li Lei's interference this time had completely crossed the line. She looked at him indifferently, refusing to give up.
Li Lei started to feel annoyed. “Xiao Ling, do you like villas in the area? I'll give you one of them as a gift. Pei Ziheng was not a good person. You can't take his stuff. Return the file to him immediately. Now too!"
"I am well aware that he is not a good person," Xia Ling said. “Also, I don't want you to give me a villa. ”
"You won't accept mine, but you will?" Li Lei's facial muscles stiffened.
Xia Ling looked at her expression with a little fear but quickly regained her composure. “This is two different things, Li Lei. "He wasn't too happy and didn't call him" Boss ". Instead, he immediately called out his name. “Again, Li Lei, who am I to you? Saying that you will give me a villa .. Do you think this is like giving me a card or a snack package? "
How could he dare to accept such a treasure for no reason?
Li Lei asked in a low voice, "Who is he for you, then?"
Xia Ling tightened her lips and did not say anything.
Who was Pei Ziheng to him? Ha, it's so complicated that it's impossible to explain it in words. Their entanglement is deep and lasts for two lives. He struggled to escape and locked her up, but the man was everywhere …
Until now, he had been raised by Li Lei.
Seeing him speechless, Li Lei's heart slowly sank. He's not an idiot. He had realized long ago that his heart had been taken away by someone. He remembered that time when they avoided the rain in the mountains. He had a high fever and kept whispering "Brother Pei" …
The surname "Pei" is unusual, but the only "Pei" involved in his life is Pei Ziheng.
As time passed, he realized that every time he mentioned Pei Ziheng's name, he would have an unusual look on his face. Although it was covered very well, he could still see past its facade.
"Who exactly is Pei Ziheng to you?" He wanted to force an answer from her.
Xia Ling still reluctantly raised her head. "It's none of your business . ”
"Very good . "Li Lei was furious, yet she smiled. He quickly took the villa reward agreement from the table and tore it apart. The pieces of paper floated and landed between the two.
"You!" Xia Ling was shocked and angry. He didn't think he would do that.
"I'll buy another villa for you as a gift" Li Lei said. "But you can't accept this one. ”
"I refuse to accept your villa any more!" Xia Ling was also angry and smiled coldly. “Li Lei, stop being right yourself. Do you think that just because you have your Rotten Money, you can take my personal belongings as yours and do whatever you want ?! What makes you think that just because the villa was given to you means that I would want it? Let me tell you, even if you give me a hundred or even a thousand villas, they will never be able to replace this one!
Thas right. He did not want the villa that Pei Ziheng had given him, but that did not mean he could tolerate Li Lei doing things as he pleased.
No matter how much he did not want the villa, it was already his now. What gave him the right to ruin it ?!
Since he was like that, how was he different from Pei Ziheng?
