289 Hot and cold
Xiao Tingli is missing.
The phone couldn't get through, and he asked the driver if he didn't understand, Li Yi finally had to adjust the monitoring, only to find out that he drove to the time tunnel alone.
The Xiao family's industries are all over all walks of life in Qingcheng, including the Time Tunnel, the largest and most prestigious bar in Qingcheng.
The bar was originally closed during the day, so when Li Yi stepped through the door, he was almost blinded by the psychedelic lights, and the deafening sound made him frown uncomfortably.
On the dance floor, a group of demons danced wildly.
Li Yi squeezed through the crowd and found Xiao Tingli, who was alone and beautiful, oh, no, alone and quiet in front of the bar.
"Mr. Xiao ......"
As soon as he spoke, Xiao Tingli handed a glass of wine to his lips, "Drink it." ”
"Yes." Li Yi took it, raised his head and drank it all, and then sat down beside him.
Sitting on the other side of Xiao Tingli was Sang, the youngest and most resourceful mother in the bar, and when she saw Li Yi coming, she seemed to see a life-saving straw, "Mr. Xiao will return it to you, I will withdraw first." ”
Although this is her boss, it stands to reason that she should serve well.
But she really can't do it if she doesn't drink a glass of wine from beginning to end, doesn't speak, and just lets them drink non-stop.
Li Yi looked at her, "How many drinks has Mr. Xiao had?" ”
Mom Sang shrugged, "Zero cups." ”
That's right, Li Yi breathed a sigh of relief.
Since that incident, Xiao Tingli has not drunk a drop of alcohol, which is already a well-known secret.
Different from the style of other rich N generations, unless socializing, Xiao Tingli never comes to a smoky place such as a bar KTV, and has no other bad habits. has always been controlled in moderation at dinner, not to mention the act of getting drunk in frustration, it will never happen to him.
He has been high-spirited since he was a child, and the word 'frustrated' does not exist in the dictionary of life.
However, today, he threw himself in this bar in broad daylight, even if he didn't get a drop of alcohol, he was already out of shape.
The last time a similar situation occurred, it was also because of Zhen Xin.
The two of them took turns to drink white beer in a Sichuan restaurant, and finally went crazy with alcohol on the street, and almost climbed a tree to catch a hydrogen balloon.
What kind of thing is this?
Li Yi motioned to his mother Sang to clear the scene, those on the dance floor were just bar employees, and just give an order.
Xiao Tingli suddenly turned his head to stare at him, "You say, why do people like to buy drunk?" ”
"Huh?" Li Yi was a little confused: How did he know?
Although he was an orphan picked up by Xiao Tingli, but by Xiao Tingli's side, he never suffered a little, suffered a day of grievances, and was on call to accompany Xiao Tingli 24 hours a day, and the two almost slept in the same bed.
So what chance does he have to get drunk?
There's no need.
Li opened his mouth, and then unkindly threw this question to his mother Sang, "You say, who are the people who like to come to the bar to buy drunk?" ”
"There are three religions and nine streams, and everyone has it." Mother Sang smiled charmingly, "But the problems that can be solved with a meal of drunkenness are not called real problems." ”
"If you can't solve it, why do you want to buy drunk?"
"Since you can't solve it, why don't you get drunk?" Mother Sang chuckled, "Instead of being sober and suffering, I don't have wine today and get drunk today." At least during those hours when you are drunk, you can temporarily escape the problem. Even if you wake up, you still have to face it, and it's good to have a few hours less. What do you say? ”
Li Yi did not dare to agree with this idea.
But those who are accustomed to escaping, or who are forced to do so, do just choose to do so.
"Mr. Xiao, will you go back?"
Li Yi looked at his watch, the time is almost up, the bar is about to open for business, let people know that Xiao Tingli is really not good at 'buying drunk' in the bar, and tomorrow the lace news may be flying all over the sky.
Xiao Tingli got up quietly, he had actually sat here enough.
Some questions that can't be figured out, no matter where they are, can't be figured out.
The two of them walked out of the side door of the bar, and when they raised their eyes, there were two men sitting side by side by the window of the café opposite, almost face-to-face when they spoke, and one of them looked very familiar.
But where did he see it, Xiao Tingli shook his head and didn't think about it.
It wasn't until the car drove for a long time that a thrill came to his mind, "Li Yi, I saw a person just now." ”
"Who?"
"Sikong Lan."
Li Yi was stunned, "Miss Zhen's ...... That person? ”
What kind of husband or husband, this kind of title, he didn't dare to say it in front of Xiao Tingli, and he was careful to be beaten to death.
Xiao Tingli nodded solemnly, "He is with another man, very intimate." ”
Intimate?
Li Yi carefully considered the language, "You don't mean ...... That kind of intimacy, right? ”
"It looks like it."
That image resurfaced in Xiao Tingli's mind, and from his point of view, the two men seemed to be ...... Kiss.
Li Yiyi picked up the phone without saying a word, "Where did you see that?" I told someone to check it out at once. ”
"It's right across the side door from the coffee shop."
Within ten minutes, the surveillance footage came over, Sikong Lan and the man were still sitting in place, whispering something intimately, the atmosphere between the two was harmonious, and they seemed to be very familiar.
Xiao Tingli raised his eyebrows, "Does he like men?" ”
"You're saying that Sikong Lan may be gay?"
The man squinted at him, "Isn't it like?" ”
"Uh, like." Li Yi is still blank in terms of feelings, where can he tell the difference?
But since Mr. Xiao is saying it is like it at this time, of course he will not say that it is not.
"That's interesting." The corners of Xiao Tingli's mouth hooked into a smile, "I heard that many comrades will force themselves to get married in order to escape the pressure of the world. ”
"Isn't that Miss Zhen...... What kind of wife is that? ”
It's miserable.
has a nominal marriage, and has to bear the flowers and plants of her husband outside, which is not something that ordinary people can bear.
Li Yi glanced at Xiao Tingli, how could he feel that this master had a gloating smile on his face?
Or did he have some idea because of it?
That's too unkind, isn't it?
However, judging from the data from the previous investigation, the relationship between him and Miss Zhen seems to be quite good...... And the date of birth of the children is also in line with their marriage time. ”
Li Yi couldn't help but remind.
At this time, when encountering a red light, the driver stepped on the brake and couldn't help but interject, "Moreover, I heard that there are many people who are bisexual, even men and women." When they were young, they did what they wanted, and when they were urged by their families and were about the same age, they would still return to a normal relationship between men and women, find someone to marry and have children, and they didn't look any different from ordinary people. ”
When Xiao Tingli heard this, the corners of his hooked mouth sank completely.
Li Yi glanced at him, "Mr. Xiao, this is ...... What are you going to do? ”
Go tell Zhen Xin?
What if people don't believe it?
What if, people were originally fine, but because you uncovered the truth, they made a lot of trouble, and you are to blame for being nosy?
Xiao Tingli frowned, "Let's talk about it." ”
He wasn't sure what to do.
"Yes, that's Miss Zhen's own business after all." Li Yi exhaled lightly, "Others can't take care of it." ”
Especially Xiao Tingli, what position do you take to care?
Ex-boyfriend?
Or ex-husband?
Cafe.
The two men walked out one after the other, and Sikong Lan reached out and patted the man on the shoulder, "I'll leave this matter to you, be sure to send more people to keep an eye on me." Money is not an issue. ”
"Don't worry, your business, when did I mess it up."
The man stretched out his hand to hail a taxi, Sikong Lan lowered his head and got in, waving goodbye to him, "Contact me anytime if you have any situation." ”
“OK。”
When Xiao Tingli returned to Yujingyuan, it was already dark.
The street lamp warmly illuminated the garden, Chu Weiyu was fluttering butterflies with Hao Hao, and when she heard the sound of the car coming back, her eyes suddenly lit up, "Hao Hao, go and play with Dad." ”
Hao Hao ran over with his little short legs, "Dad, Dad, play with Hao Hao." ”
But Xiao Tingli didn't take a second look in the direction of the child, and walked directly into the living room.
The smile on Chu Weiyu's face froze, and Li Yi looked at her, "Miss Chu, don't think about it, Mr. Xiao is tired today." ”
"Hmm." She nodded.
Fool whom?
Since Zhen Xin appeared, when has Xiao Tingli been normal?
In the past, he was not enthusiastic about Haohao, but he has never been as frequent as these days, hot and cold.
"Where have you been, with such a strong smell of wine?" Chu Weiyu smelled the smell of Li Yi and glanced upstairs.
