Chapter 616 The Butterfly Is Dead
She looked down at his hands.
It's very familiar, every joint and texture is so distinct. If it were more than ten years ago, she would never have imagined that the two of them would become strangers one day.
"Pei Ziheng," her voice was very shallow and dissipated in the wind, "don't do this."
"Why don't you?" He had always been very patient in front of her, but now it was even better, just to delay for a little longer and talk to her more. Standing in front of her like this, being so close to her, and touching her body may only be a luxury for most of the rest of his life.
Xia Ling took her hand out little by little and firmly. "I said he would be unhappy." She didn't say who he was, but they both knew it.
"You just... care about him?" He couldn't say the word love, and he didn't want to use it on her relationship with Li Lei anyway. Even after saying the word "care", he quickly changed the subject, "Is it so difficult to sign your name for me?"
He didn't want to hear her answer about the word "care".
"Sign your name and you'll leave?" she confirmed.
"If you are willing to keep me, that would be great." His voice was still low.
Xia Ling took the signature pen from the staff, lowered her eyes, and wrote the words "Ye Xingling" bit by bit on his palm. The handwriting was very graceful, a bit similar to his - her calligraphy was done by him at the beginning. teach.
It was very quiet in the summer night, and you could hear his long breathing.
The last stroke of the word "绫" was so long that it almost snaked to his wrist. Her eyes fell on the damaged Patek Philippe again. She remembered that the watch was a birthday gift she had custom-made for him. After she was reborn and fell into the water, in order to retrieve the watch, he broke off her hand to survive.
The butterfly is dead.
She handed the signature pen back to the staff and looked up at Pei Ziheng: "Don't waste your time on me, find a woman who loves you and spend your life together."
After saying that, he turned around and left without looking back.
Pei Ziheng stood alone in the cold night wind, watching her drift away and finally disappear.
In a nearby venue, her record could be heard faintly, and her beautiful singing voice - "If we hadn't met that year, would the ending have been different..."
Never met.
How could we not have met before?
He raised his head in the wind, Xiao Ling, there are so many people who want to break up you and Li Lei, how long do you think you can hold on? Do you think it was just a coincidence that Li Lei went abroad this time? The net has been cast, and neither you nor him can escape.
Mr. Li wants a grandson.
And he wants his butterfly.
Xia Ling returned to the hotel, washed away her fatigue, climbed into bed, and opened her laptop to read the news. The anthelmintic drug incident continues to unfold. The police announced the results of the investigation and determined that it was an accident. The manufacturer accidentally shipped contaminated expired drugs as qualified products.
She remembered that Li Lei had said that this was not an accident at all, but a deliberate revenge by the enemy against Tianyi.
Why don't the police pursue it?
She felt sorry for Li Lei and immediately called Tan Ying: "Tan Ying, why did the investigation of the anthelmintic drug incident end here? Is there a shady story behind it? Can you put pressure on the police and ask them to give a fair trial?" The ending? Don’t let the real murderer go unpunished?”
Tan Ying smiled bitterly.
Boss is wise and wise, but the girl he falls in love with is so naive. She doesn't know that this ending is now the result of Tianyi's intervention. It is the best ending for her and Tianyi. If she continues to dig deeper, it will involve the Gu family and Nangong Qingya's revenge on her, pushing her to the forefront.
Public opinion is terrible, and the public is blindly obedient.
They didn't care whether she was a victim or not, they would only say that two innocent children died because of her. Her reputation will plummet, and it may even become a stain that cannot be washed away in her lifetime.
Does she know that the boss has been protecting her?
Tan Ying complained in her heart, but comforted her: "This is the result that the boss wants. He has his own considerations. Miss Ye, don't worry, everything is under the control of the boss."
Xia Ling then hung up the phone suspiciously.
Continuing to watch the news, Tianyi's public relations spokesman sincerely apologized to the whole society, claiming that this was his first time doing charity and the accident was caused by his lack of experience. He would learn lessons and be more careful in the future. He also said that he would bury the dead children generously, provide generous pensions to the orphanage, and treat other poisoned children well. When the children grow up, they will have priority in the opportunity to work in Tianyi.
Every aspect is handled thoughtfully.
Public anger has calmed down a bit, but many people still say, what's the use of apologizing afterwards? The dead never live again. Others say, as for Ye Xingling, she personally distributed the pills to the children, so is she just being a coward? Tianyi's public relations spokesperson has apologized, why doesn't she apologize? !
Yesterday's report was republished.
It was the news that in the middle of her media conference, Li Lei barged in and forcefully said that she was not responsible.
There was a lot of quarrel on the Internet, and some said that Xiao Ling just had no responsibility. Some also say that she has enjoyed the honor of being a charity ambassador, but now that something has happened, she is hiding behind a man? Didn't she really get her position by selling herself?
It's a mess.
Xia Ling read several forums, and she could drown in the spittle that scolded her. Many old things were uncovered. She was kicked out of the headquarters by the Li family, married and divorced Pei Ziheng, died of her child, and... The Pei family defected to Li Lei when they were in the most difficult time... He was scolded with all kinds of words, which were particularly unpleasant.
Others said: [Two children just died yesterday, and today Ye Xingling can hold a concert tour like a normal person. Have you seen it? She smiled brightly, her face was radiant, and she was not sad at all. ]
There was another wave of curses under the post, calling her cruel, vicious, and despicable.
She couldn't help but put on a vest and replied anonymously to the post: "That's not the case..."
Countless people scolded her, saying that she was Ye Xingling's biggest fan, stupid, stupid, and mentally retarded.
She felt so wronged that she wanted to cry and turned off the computer.
The phone rang and she picked it up. It was Pei Ziheng.
The man's voice on the phone was very gentle: "Are you in a bad mood?"
"No." She said reflexively.
"Liar," he said very kindly, "I heard you almost cry."
"It's none of your business." She said harshly, looking at the bustling city outside the hotel's floor-to-ceiling windows. The lights were so bright and gorgeous. It was strange. The world looked so beautiful, but why was her world filled with curses? Voice? Can't the public give her a little bit of kindness?
She sniffed again.
Pei Ziheng said: "Open the door."
Xia Ling was stunned: "What?"
"I'm at the door of your guest room, open the door."
