C23 Has He Been Here Before

At the entrance of the mansion, in the Mu Shang car, Ling Haocheng had already thrown out a pile of cigarette butts. He lit another cigarette in his mouth and looked at the room on the second floor in a daze. The lights were still on. Was she still not going to sleep?

In the quiet night, the phone's ringtone suddenly rang. Ling Haocheng looked at the caller ID and casually pressed the answer button.

"It's so late. What's the matter?"

... ""

" Alright, I'll be right there. "

Ling Haocheng looked at the window that was still lit. He snuffed out the cigarette that he had not smoked a few times before starting the car and leaving.

At one o'clock in the morning, at the Magnificent Bar.

Ou Hao sat in his usual seat, drinking alone. Today was Ling Haocheng's wedding day. As a brother, he should be happy. However, when he saw Zhen Xi, who was sad for Ling Haocheng, his mood was not good. After taking care of Zhen Xi, he came to the bar to vent his emotions.

Ling Haocheng saw him almost as soon as he entered the bar. He quietly sat opposite of Ling Haocheng and gave himself a bottle of wine.

"Today's wedding suddenly broke. Do you think I should congratulate you or feel sorry for you?" Ou Hao looked at Ling Haocheng and raised the bottle.

Ling Haocheng did not seem to hear him at all. He still drank the wine in his mouth. He drank too fast and could not help burping.

"Qiao Shiyan waited for you for so many years and wanted to marry you. Qiao Yining did not hesitate to use her life as a bet to ruin your wedding for you. Even Zhen Xi was captivated because of you. Why do you think these women are fucking revolving around you? Could it be that you are the only man in this world? "

At the end, Ou Hao raised his voice. Fortunately, the bar was noisy, so no one noticed them.

Ling Haocheng frowned and took the glass from his mouth. "You drank too much."

"I'm not drunk!" Ou Hao raised his hand but could not take the glass back. He took the bottle from the table and drank a big mouthful. Bai Lan rushed into his throat with the hot wine and coughed a few times. He raised his head and stared at his best friend in front of him with red eyes. "Ling Haocheng, don't pretend. I don't believe Zhen Xi likes you for so long. Didn't you notice? She likes you so much that she can't even see how others treat her well..."

..." " Ling Haocheng was stunned for a moment. He raised his eyebrows and looked at the person in front of him. "You like her?"

What he wanted was never that one. No matter what other people did, it had nothing to do with him.

"If you like her, then go after her. I have no interest in her."

Ou Hao stared at him with a pair of misty eyes, as if he wanted to see through his thoughts through those pitch-black pupils. However, the depths of the man's eyes were always secretive and unfathomable, even though they were as close as their relationship. He had never been able to see through him.

"You like Qiao Yining that much? Then why are you getting engaged to Qiao Shiyan and planning to get married? You clearly know that the two of them are arch-enemies."

Ou Hao had obviously drunk too much. As he drank, he nagged. When Ling Haocheng heard this, he was stunned for a second. His thin lips tightly pursed as he took a cup of wine and continued drinking.

There were many things that even he wanted to do.

When he thought of Qiao Yining, the girl's stubborn face with tears and disappointment echoed in his mind.

The scenes of the past were like poison piercing through the intestines and corroding the internal organs along with the wine that entered the throat. His heart ached to the point of numbness.

...

At four o'clock in the morning.

On the bridge, Bentley Mullen was speeding at a speed of 200 miles per hour in the night. Wherever he passed, cars would see a black shadow flying past the side of the car. He was so shocked that he turned the steering wheel to avoid it. He calmed his mind and threw a curse at the black shadow that had disappeared in front of him.

At the entrance of the Qiao family's villa, it was still the same position. It was still the Bentley Mushaung. He stepped on the brakes and stopped.

The drunk man pushed the car door open and walked down. He looked at the lights on the second floor and walked to the door with sleepy eyes.

The moment he raised his hand to knock on the door, the evening wind blew by his side to wake him up. The drunk but abnormally sober reason made him smile bitterly in his heart. He sat on the steps at the door and lit a cigarette. He took a deep breath and held it in his hand.

The cool night wind blew his messy hair. The fine hair covered his deep and hidden eyes. The moonlight was like silver falling snow that sprinkled on his shoulder. In the silence, the scarlet cigarette flickered with white and white smoke. Only the shadow accompanied him, lonely and lonely.

At seven o'clock in the morning, Ling Haocheng took one last look at the window that had not turned off the lights for the whole night. He sighed deeply, started the car, and left.

When he left, a black van and his car hurriedly missed it. It stopped at the place where he had stayed for the whole night. The moment they brushed past each other, the two people in the car saw each other clearly. Ling Haocheng looked at the cold Liang Chenyi with disdain, and Liang Chenyi also stared at Ling Haocheng with hatred and hatred. If looks could kill, then these two people would have already fought for 300 rounds. They had to fight to the death.

In the secret chamber on the second floor of the Qiao family villa, Qiao Yining sat on the ground with her back leaning against the shelf. Her red and swollen eyes stared at the pen in her hand. This was the first gift he gave her.

A sudden phone ringtone interrupted Qiao Yining's sweet and sad memories. She wanted to get up and go to the bedroom to get the phone, but her legs had become numb after sitting for the whole night. The moment she moved, she felt a heart-piercing pain. It seemed that this kind of pain could make her feel a little better. Qiao Yining gritted her teeth and struggled to get up. But before she could take a step, her legs went soft. She fell hard onto the ground. Due to overexerting himself, faint traces of blood seeped out from the hands that he had wrapped yesterday.

The phone rang and stopped, then rang again and again. He was very patient. Qiao Yining finally moved from the secret room to the bedside and had enough of the phone. She opened it and saw that it was all Liang Chenyi's calls. She wanted to call him back. A phone call came in.

"Hello, Chenyi, why are you calling so early?"

... ""

"Okay."

Qiao Yining hung up the phone and found a large suitcase to enter the secret room. She stuffed all of Dong Xi inside.

An hour later, Qiao Yining dragged two luggage bags and hurriedly went downstairs. She just happened to see Qiao Tianhai, Dung Lei and Qiao Shiyan sitting in a neat restaurant eating breakfast. Although the family of three did not speak, the division of labor was clear. Qiao Shiyan distributed the plates and utensils and Dung Lei placed the bread with butter on each plate. It was rare for Qiao Tianhai to personally pour a cup of milk for everyone.

This scene deeply stung Qiao Yining's eyes. When her mother was in the past, they had once had meals together with the family of three, but every time Qiao Tianhai looked like he was very busy. He either read the newspaper or read the information. He never poured a glass of water for his mother and himself. Not to mention pouring milk.

Qiao Yining was just about to pretend that she did not see anything when Dung Lei looked up and saw her.

"Ning, where are you going with the two boxes so early in the morning? Why did you tell your father if you want to move out?"

When she said this, a rare bright smile appeared on Dung Lei's face. This jinx was finally going to leave.

Qiao Tianhai looked at Qiao Yining and did not say anything. However, those bright eyes also expressed his eagerness and happiness for Qiao Yining to move out.

"If you want to leave, hurry up and leave. Don't feel unlucky looking at a dead face every day!" Qiao Shiyan was the one who hoped that Qiao Yining would not move out and come back, but she seemed to have forgotten who was the owner of this house.

"Who said I want to move out? Even if I want to move out, it will not be my turn!"

Qiao Yining replied with a smile that said, "Are you guys daydreaming?" She pulled the box out and left the restaurant, leaving the three people in the restaurant who were so angry that they were talking nonsense.

Outside the door, Liang Chenyi saw the door open at first sight, so he came up to her. When he saw the two big boxes in Qiao Yining's hands, he could not help but worry.

"Ning, did they bully you?"

Liang Chenyi and Qiao Tianhai could not be blamed for thinking the same way. Anyone would see a weak girl who was hurt by love carrying the boxes early in the morning. When she came out of the house where she lived with her rival in love, she would think that she had been wronged and wanted to move out.

... "" Qiao Yining did not answer but looked at the cigarette butts on the steps at the door in a daze. A special brand of cigarettes had always been that man's favorite habit.

Last night, he came over?

Seeing Qiao Yining throw down the box and run out, Liang Chenyi's heart ached. He pretended to be indifferent and chased after her. "Ning, what are you looking for?"

Other than the tall and lush greenery and Liang Chenyi's car, there was no one else around.

Qiao Yining shook her head in disappointment. She turned around to take out the two boxes that she had taken out.

Liang Chenyi took them for her and put them in the car. He opened the passenger door for her and waited for her to sit in before he got into the driver's seat.

There was a moment of silence in the car. Just as Liang Chenyi was about to speak, Qiao Yining's hoarse voice carried a tiredness that she had not slept for the entire night. She leaned on the back seat of the passenger seat and said with her eyes lowered, "Accompany me to the Ling Feng Group."

Liang Chenyi frowned and stared blankly at Qiao Yining. Even though she had put on makeup and deliberately covered her red and swollen eyes, the blood and sadness in her eyes still did not escape Liang Chenyi's eyes.

The hand holding the steering wheel tightened. He wanted to say whatever he wanted to say, but he said everything. He rubbed her head in pain and started the car to fire the villa.

In the square in front of Ling Feng Group, the silver colored Lan Sheng steadily stopped.

Qiao Yining, who was sitting in the passenger seat, was still staring at the tall building outside the window. Her hands, which had been bandaged again, were about to clench their fists, but Liang Chenyi quickly held them back.

"I'll go up with you."

Qiao Yining was silent. In the end, she tacitly agreed that the underground car was heading towards the building. Liang Chenyi pushed two boxes and followed closely behind.

"Miss, may I ask who you are looking for? Do you have an appointment?" As usual, the receptionist stopped Qiao Yining who was rushing forward.

Actually, the receptionist was not unfamiliar with this woman in front of her. Not to mention that her boss' engagement banquet and wedding ceremony were all ruined by her, it was widely known by the various media outlets.

"No!" Qiao Yining looked at her indifferently and pushed the suitcase in Liang Chenyi's hand to the front desk lady's feet. "Help me return these to him."

"Our CEO said that we can't accept other people's things."

"Then throw them all away!" Qiao Yining suddenly shouted excitedly, scaring the receptionist. Thinking of the necklace that this person sent over last time, the CEO rushed down in a rage to find someone. She quickly picked up the internal phone on the front desk and dialed the secret desk on the top floor.
