Chapter 1177: Surprising Call
Chapter 1176 ā Surprising Call
Xiao Ben was a smart man. He wanted to deal with Lin Yi, and he wanted to use House Piās strength for that, but he wouldnāt just command them to help. Even if they did help, House Xiao would owe them a big favor! But, if Lin Yi was the one threatening House Xiao or their business, then House Pi helping out would be in their interest, not for House Xiao!
And so, while Xiao Ben thought that this was possible, it would take time and couldnāt be rushed.
Hearing his elder brother agree with all his suggestions made him pleased- he may be the head of House Xiao, but he was the one with the real power! This pretty much meant that he was the head! Xiaoben nodded. āSo, we need to plan this whole thing. Itās best if we can get House Chu to threaten us from a business perspective- then House Pi would make a move based on their interests.
āNot bad- Weāll leave it to you then, brother! The revenge for your sis-in-law, as well!ā Xiao Ji nodded.
āThenā¦ My lionā¦ā Huli still wasnāt willing- she needed to get it back from that yard. Otherwise, itād be a big humiliation! She wouldnāt even be able to lift her head around here anymore!
She was walking around showing off just a while ago, and now her lion was trapped in someone elseās yard? What a joke!
āItās just a lion- buy a new one if you want, or get it back yourself if youāre capable!ā Xiao Ji waved away the topic. āThatās it for this matter! Weāre busy enough as is, weāve got no time for your shenanigans!ā
Xiao Ji was right- plenty of powerful and rich people were swarming to their house every day, and they had many things to take care of! Even Xiao Ji, who was out of his field, needed to greet the guests- after all, as Xiao Ben made partnerships and deals and signed papers, Xiao Ji had to socialize and treat their guests to meals!
Huli knew that she wasnāt getting the lion back through this route then- she needed to find her way!
Helpless, she waited until nighttime to walk out and investigateā¦
The lion couldnāt hold on to the tree anymore- it was a land animal, after all, not a bird, and it couldnāt just stay on a tree all day! And so, the lion decided to go ask for peace!
Lin Yi had just finished showering and changed his clothes- he was just about to check on the lion and Weiwu when his phone rang- it was Song Lingshan!
A few days after helping her upgrade her strength level, Lingshan never contacted him again, leaving him with plenty of fresh air. Who knew when she needed some trouble to ask him for help again?
She did need help this time. Chen Yutian came to visit when she just came back to the police station.
Compared to Xie Yufeng, Lingshan realized that Yutian was a lot better to be around. Although that was at a normal level, it was still far, far away compared to Lin Yi! Lingshan felt that the people who loved him couldnāt get any love from her, while she tried to get all her love from the one she loved.
After getting stronger last time, Lingshan assumed that her relationship with Lin Yi would improve- but the guy never called her on his initiative these past few days! After all, Lin Yi only called her a few times before, all of which were important calls. There hadnāt been one casual call.
āLingshan, whatās with the long face? You didnāt even say hi.ā Yutian walked in to see a frowning and bitter-faced Lingshan, thinking about something at her office table.
āI told you, call me Officer Song when weāre at work. You can call me Song Lingshan when weāre off duty,ā Lingshan said faintly after seeing who it was.
Yutianās face changed, but he spoke up. āLingshan, we grew up together, right? Even if you donāt return my feelings, thereās no need to be like this with me, no?ā
āThen what should I do? Act all passionate and lead you on?ā Lingshan said flatly.
āIā¦ Lingshan! I admit that I still stubbornly love you, but I already understand your position! If you do marry that person, Iāll be glad and even bless it! I admit that Iām not as good as him, I never will be- my feelings for you are buried deep already, I just want to look after you and hope for your happiness silently, thatās it! Me calling you Lingshan is also from an elder brotherās perspective, like calling you Lil sis- if you donāt want that, then Iāll call you Officer Song in the future,ā Yutian said seriously.
Lingshan froze once she heard the words- she didnāt think that heād candidly say all of these thoughts out to her! He did hint at his admiration for Lin Yi and stuff like that, but she didnāt expect that he would say everything directly like this!
Yutianās strength wasnāt good enough, but Lingshan knew that Yutian was one who kept his word- this meant that heād truly given up!
āAlright then- if you truly think that, then alright. Iāll call you Yutian Bro, too.ā Lingshan labeled their relationship as brother and sister right away.
āHaha, thatās a bit complicatingā¦ā Yutian shook his head. Lin Yi was his teacher, and he might not call him a mentor or Shifu, but he considered him his boss. If Lin Yi did go with Lingshan, then what should he call her then? Sis-in-law?
That was something for the future Yutian to think about.
āWhatās so complicating?ā Lingshan blinked but remembered something. āYutian Bro, just what is your relationship with Lin YI?ā
āThatāsā¦ You should ask him yourself; itās not my placeā¦ā Yutian didnāt want to say anything behind his back- if Lin Yi were here and didnāt stop him, then heād speak up, but not like this.
āAlright,ā Lingshan didnāt press on, only nodding. āYutian Bro, whyāre you here today? Weāre still on holiday, arenāt we?ā
