Chapter 288: Empathy, Don't Love
readx;? Li Yao looked a little cloudy, and saw that the smile on Xia Ling's face was very weird, which made Li Yao wonder a little in his heart, when he came to find him before, Li Yao clearly remembered that the gloom on Xia Ling's whole face had never dissipated, why did he change so much at this time?
With this doubt, Li Yao couldn't help asking: "Young Master Xia Ling, what is your situation? Didn't you hear that the two of you are incompatible before? It seems that you and Master Cheng are getting along well now!"
"That's what my lord said! Master Cheng Lou is now the vice president of the Chang'an City Chamber of Commerce, and I, as the president, naturally want to have a good relationship with the vice president, sir, right?" Xia Ling clenched his fists and politely replied to Li Yao. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
"What, she became the vice president?" exclaimed Li Yao.
Cheng Lingwei also stepped forward and nodded noncommittally towards Li Yao, in fact, Cheng Lingwei was a little unexpected for Xia Ling to suddenly come to her and make herself the vice president, she also thought that Xia Ling was because she liked her ability, so she handed over the position of vice president of the Chang'an City Chamber of Commerce to her.
But what Cheng Lingwei didn't know was that the reason why Xia Ling did this was actually caused by Li Yao's inadvertent words that night, so Cheng Lingwei is now the vice president, and the person she should be most grateful for is not Xia Ling, but Li Yao, but Cheng Lingwei didn't know all this, she always thought that Xia Ling took a fancy to her, and she was very grateful to Xia Ling for this.
When Li Yao saw this, he seemed to understand something, and walked in front of Cheng Lingwei, Li Yao turned his head and said to Xia Ling: "Young Master Xia Ling, I'm sorry, I have something to say separately with Master Cheng, so the two of us will go to the inner room to talk about it first, and then come out in a while, and ask Young Master Xia Ling to wait here." ”
"My lord, just go, Xia Ling can wait for the two of you here. Xia Ling responded respectfully.
"Go, come in with me, I have something for you. Li Yao said to Cheng Lingwei with a cold face.
Cheng Lingwei saw that Li Yao was a little strange today, she also nodded suspiciously, and followed Li Yao into the inner room, after the two entered the inner room, Cheng Lingwei asked curiously: "What's wrong with you today, how weird, are you not happy that I am the vice president of the Chang'an City Chamber of Commerce?"
"I ask you a question, and you answer me honestly, don't lie to me. Li Yao said solemnly.
"You say!" Cheng Lingwei frowned and drank.
She has a bad temper, it is not easy to endure Li Yao until now, if Li Yao continues to give her a look like this, Cheng Lingwei will definitely not hesitate to get angry at Li Yao, this is the style of the West Street Dominatrix, even in the face of Li Yao, she is no exception at all.
Li Yao also noticed the change in Cheng Lingwei's attitude towards him, and he didn't talk too much nonsense, but asked bluntly: "Let me ask you, do you like Xia Ling?"
"This ......" Cheng Lingwei was speechless for a while.
"You don't have to care so much, if you like it, if you don't like it, if you don't like it, I just want to figure out what kind of attitude you have towards Xia Ling now. Li Yao said coldly, his tone becoming a little questioning.
Cheng Lingwei had said before that she was willing to wait for Li Yao all the time, but because of this sentence, Cheng Lingwei now regrets it, since Xia Ling took the initiative to approach her and gave her the vice president of the Chang'an City Chamber of Commerce, Cheng Lingwei gradually developed a good impression of Xia Ling.
And when it comes to handsomeness and ability, Xia Ling is no worse than Li Yao, the most important thing is that Li Yao and Dong Mingzhu have become relatives, even if Cheng Lingwei marries Li Yao in the future, she can only be small and not big, which is unacceptable to Cheng Lingwei, so even if Cheng Lingwei is empathetic now, it is really normal, there is nothing to be sorry for Li Yao, on the contrary, Li Yao has a home and has to stumble on Cheng Lingwei, this is his fault.
With this kind of thought rising in her heart, Cheng Lingwei finally breathed a sigh of relief, plucked up the courage to say to Li Yao: "Yes, I like him, at least he is not like you, he is not married, there is no daughter-in-law in the family, if I marry him, we will make great achievements in the business world of Chang'an City together, but if I marry you, I can only be small and not big for the rest of my life, so what's the point of me waiting for you?"
"What did you promise me before?" Li Yao asked Cheng Lingwei painfully.
"People will become after all, I promised you that it was good, but you ask yourself, are you worthy of accepting my promise? Feng Xiaobao, don't think that if you change your name now, you are not Feng Xiaobao, your flower heart, everything about you, I see it in my eyes, you remember, I watched you all the way, what kind of man are you, I Cheng Lingwei still don't know?" Cheng Lingwei said this sentence almost with tears in her eyes.
After she finished speaking, Li Yao was already in tears.
At this time, Li Yao couldn't help but think of Yun Cui at the beginning, Yun Cui loved him deeply at the beginning and would rather give everything for him, but at that time, Li Yao gave her a promise because he didn't love Yun Cui, and finally used white lies to give himself a desperate lie, so that he could get psychological relief.
It wasn't until now, after personally trying the taste of being dumped, that Li Yao understood that when a person you like, fell in love with another person and empathized with you, that feeling was really painful, Li Yao was in pain now, and the pain was so painful that he could hardly extricate himself.
Cheng Lingwei didn't have anything to do with him, and Li Yao just liked Cheng Lingwei inexplicably, just like Cheng Lingwei liked him inexplicably, but now, Cheng Lingwei is empathetic and in love with Xia Ling, Li Yao is really a little difficult to accept this fact.
Cheng Lingwei saw that Li Yao was uncomfortable like this, and her tears fell uncontrollably, but Cheng Lingwei didn't cry, but just said to Li Yao coldly: "I only understand now that we are actually not suitable, and there are more suitable ones waiting for me, like me, let's be friends in the future!"
"Okay, as long as you need my help, I will do my best to help you. Li Yao stretched out his hand to wipe away the tears on his face, and replied to Cheng Lingwei sonorously.
"Thank you, Xiaobao. Cheng Lingwei thanked Li Yao in a low voice.
Li Yao had a bitter smile on his face, stretched out his hand to wipe away his tears, Li Yao walked out without looking back, and after walking out, Li Yao pulled Xia Ling out of the door again, and said to Xia Ling: "Do you know that Master Cheng likes you." ”
"I know, all of this is thanks to the adults, Xia Ling really has to thank the adults. Xia Ling lowered his head and thanked Li Yao with a solemn expression.
"What do you mean?" asked Li Yao, puzzled.
Xia Ling first glanced at the room, and saw that Cheng Lingwei was still in the inner room and did not come out, so he whispered in Li Yao's ear: "Have you forgotten, my lord? When I went to look for the adult that night, before leaving, the adult told me that as long as I conquer the Cheng Lou Lord, so now I will conquer the Cheng Lou Lord, this is all the adult's mention, if it weren't for the adult, maybe I and the Cheng Lou master would not have today." ”
"You ......" As soon as Xia Ling said this, Li Yao suddenly remembered it, and was speechless on the spot.
That night, because he was too busy, Li Yao didn't think much about it at that time, he just said it to Xia Ling casually, Li Yao would not have thought that Xia Ling really took it seriously, and he really came to conquer Cheng Lingwei, so all this is actually not to blame Xia Ling at all, nor to blame Cheng Lingwei.
On the other hand, I still have to blame myself for all this, if I hadn't said that sentence at the beginning, maybe things wouldn't have developed to this point, Li Yao really regrets it now, it's just a pity, there is no regret medicine sold in this world, otherwise, Li Yao would really buy a lot of regret medicine and stuff it in his mouth!
After being dumbfounded for a while, Li Yao could only reach out and pat Xia Ling's shoulder in frustration, and said to him, "I understand, I bless you." ”
"Thank you, Lord Xie. Xia Ling politely thanked Li Yao.
"But you listen to me, if you dare to treat her badly in the future, I will definitely make your life worse than death, if you don't believe it, you can try. Li Yao suddenly opened his mouth again and threatened Xia Ling.
Xia Ling was stunned for a moment, and then he reacted, and hurriedly assured Li Yao: "My lord, rest assured, Xia Ling is not a person who abandons from the beginning to the end, as long as a woman is identified, Xia Ling will only have her in her heart in this life, if the Lord Cheng Lou is willing to marry me in the future, then she will be my life." ”
"Well, treat her well, I'm leaving, come to me if you need help in the future, as long as I can do it, I'll help you two without hesitation." Li Yao nodded with satisfaction, and after dropping such a sentence to Xia Ling happily, he immediately turned around and left freely.
Xia Ling stood in place, looking at Li Yao's departing back, but there was a helpless smile on his face, in fact, he thought in his heart, if it wasn't for the last resort, he would never have come to conquer Cheng Lingwei, but now that it has become a fact, Xia Ling doesn't want to say anything more.
In fact, Xia Ling is not bad in his bones, at least compared to Li Yao, he is much more upright, maybe this is why Cheng Lingwei takes a fancy to Xia Ling and empathizes with Li Yao!
Li Yao is naturally well aware of this, after leaving the Ling Tower with loss, Li Yao went back to his house, when this kind of sadness, Li Yao still wants to return to Dong Mingzhu's side and stay with Dong Mingzhu well, which can be regarded as a comfort in his heart.
And just as Li Yao rushed home with a disappointed face, in the palace, Qin Jing had already gathered 10,000 internal guards, and with these guards holding Wu Zetian's edict, he swaggered out of the palace and headed towards the Langwang Mansion.
