Chapter 1248: Mi Lai Breaks Up

"I didn't expect it, I really didn't expect that Xia Lin would be such a person..."

Mi Lai was a mess of tears and snot, crying and wailing, feeling extremely wronged.

Sitting to one side, Yang Xiaoyun said, "You're really something. Even now, I haven't heard a single word against Lu Tao from your mouth."

"I haven't even gotten to cursing him yet," Mi Lai sobbed. "Tell me, what am I worse at than Xia Lin? Why is Lu Tao so cheap? They've only met a few times, right? And these two are already together? He knows what Xia Lin's situation is. She's just a plaything kept by someone else, so why does he treasure her so much?"

"We've been together for several years, and I've never seen him that enthusiastic. It was always me eagerly throwing myself at him. Now, look at this—he's so proactive with Xia Lin? You don't know, Xiaoyun, when we were eating together, Xia Lin recited twenty phone numbers, and Lu Tao actually dialed them one by one."

"I was wondering why he was in such a rush to make me leave that day, saying he had something to do. It was just that he missed Xia Lin and was anxious to call her. I'm telling you, those two were definitely up to no good that night."

"I was wondering why he was so reluctant when we talked about going camping before. Turns out they were already being dirty and unclear back then. If I hadn't brought it up directly that day, and everyone had agreed, plus Brother Yan was going too, he definitely would have found an excuse to bail and go live secretly with Xia Lin..."

Just as she was about to leave, she finally discovered the affair between Lu Tao and Xia Lin, catching them both in the room. Heartbroken, she found her good friend Yang Xiaoyun to cry to.

Mi Lai cursed for a long time; Lu Tao and Xia Lin became the "dog man and woman" in her mouth.

Yang Xiaoyun listened, chiming in from time to time, condemning them along with Mi Lai.

After a long while, Mi Lai finally couldn't cry anymore, couldn't curse anymore, and quieted down.

Yang Xiaoyun let out a long sigh: "This Lu Tao is really too ungrateful. You're so beautiful, have a great figure, and your family has money, yet he could do something like this. If you ask me, you were just too good to him, too eager. He never took you seriously at all."

"Yeah, what's the use of that?" Mi Lai lay on the bed. "They're already lovey-dovey, and only I am here crying and wailing..."

"Sigh, if you ask me, there isn't a single good man."

Mi Lai was silent for a long time, then suddenly said, "How are things with Brother Yan?"

"Wait, aren't you heartbroken? You still have the heart to care about me?"

"Distracting myself." Mi Lai blinked her red, swollen eyes, full of curiosity.

Yang Xiaoyun was speechless, sighed, but still shared a bit with Mi Lai.

"No movement. It's been a week since we parted that day, right? He hasn't called me, hasn't sent a text. What do you think he means? He didn't take a liking to me? On the other hand, that Xiang Nan calls me every day, asking me out to eat or watch movies."

"Look at you, still being stubborn. Isn't this just you having taken a liking to Brother Yan? Poor Xiang Nan and his sincere heart."

"Oh, stop it, you. You'd better think about yourself."

"I have no way out, I can't figure it out." Mi Lai stared at the ceiling. "My heart is like dead ashes, I have nothing to think about."

She turned her head again, looking at Yang Xiaoyun. "You're not introverted, are you? If Brother Yan doesn't contact you, you contact him. Besides, it's not like you don't know that the car dealership they opened together is extremely busy. They're running around all day, busy endlessly. There aren't many people, and Brother Yan is the one making the decisions; he has to support everything, so it's normal that he doesn't have time."

"Then how does that other guy have time? Only he doesn't have time?"

"You mean Xiang Nan? I don't look down on Xiang Nan, but compared to Brother Yan, there's no comparison. If you put Lu Tao, Huazi, and Xiang Nan all in front of Brother Yan, they'd all be insignificant."

"Since we've said this much, and you've broken up with Lu Tao, since you think Brother Yan is good, why don't you be with him? Don't worry, I absolutely wish you well."

"My heart is like dead ashes, how could I have the heart for that?" Mi Lai let out a long breath. "Do you know what I want to do most right now?"

"Watch Lu Tao and Xia Lin have a bad ending?"

"I'm not that malicious. I just want to get drunk, drink until I pass out, and not think about anything."

Mi Lai stood up abruptly. "Let's go, let's go drink."

Yang Xiaoyun didn't spoil the mood, didn't complain at all, and followed Mi Lai out the door without a word.

The two went downstairs, Mi Lai drove with Yang Xiaoyun, and they set off immediately.

"Where are we going?"

"Huaxiang. What's the point of us two drinking? What if we get drunk and something happens? Let's find Brother Yan. He can drink, he can fight, and he talks nicely. It just so happens you'll have a chance to spend time with him. Look, aren't I a good friend? I'm dying of misery, and I'm still thinking about your good fortune."

"Don't use me as an excuse. You want to find him yourself, don't drag me into it."

Mi Lai didn't speak, focusing on driving.

She felt it was a miracle that she could maintain this state.

Was she miserable? Very miserable. She felt listless about everything, couldn't raise any interest, and felt the world was gray. But at the same time, she didn't have any thoughts of seeking death. She was just miserable, indescribably miserable...

Thus, listening to heartbreaking songs all the way, Mi Lai drove safely to the Huaxiang used car market and parked the car in an empty spot in front of the shop, familiar with the route.

As soon as they got out of the car, Mi Lai and Yang Xiaoyun saw Wang Yan not far away, holding a car door and talking to someone. Behind him, Huazi and two other young men were listening to the conversation seriously.

Wang Yan naturally saw the two who had gotten out of the car, waved from afar, greeted them with a smile, and let Huazi come over to greet them.

"How do two great beauties have time to come to our little shop? Oh, Mi Lai, why are your eyes swollen? Why didn't Lu Tao come? Are you angry with Lu Tao?"

Huazi greeted them enthusiastically.

Mi Lai turned her head and said gloomily, "We broke up."

"What's the situation? Weren't you lovey-dovey last week?" Huazi's eyes widened, unable to believe it.

"Lu Tao cheated. Behind Mi Lai's back, he got together with her friend Xia Lin. They haven't even known each other for half a month." Yang Xiaoyun helped Mi Lai explain.

"Damn..." Huazi paused, condemning Lu Tao. "How could he be like this? How come I didn't see before that this kid was such a person? You wait, Mi Lai, I'm going to call him and curse him right now. You're such a good girl, and he doesn't cherish you? That's too outrageous."

"That's enough, stop acting." Mi Lai rolled her eyes at him. "You're not his father, do you think he'll listen to you? Besides, after this happened, are you sure I'd still want to be with him?"

Huazi smiled sheepishly. "Then this is..."

"We came to find you guys to drink," Yang Xiaoyun said.

"Mainly to find Brother Yan," Mi Lai confirmed the target.

Huazi said, "Don't be like that, let's drink together and curse Lu Tao together. This kid is too much; I can't stand it either. Mi Lai, don't worry, even if you broke up with Lu Tao, we're still good friends. I, Huazi, recognize you as a person, not Lu Tao."

"That's one honest word from you." Mi Lai glanced at Huazi.

"That's for sure." Huazi greeted the two. "Let's go, don't stand outside, it's weirdly hot. There's air conditioning inside, sit down and drink some water. Brother Yan still needs a while; this client will definitely buy today."

"I see that car is a Mercedes, right? Are you doing high-end cars now?"

Yang Xiaoyun didn't know much about cars, but she knew Mercedes were luxury cars.

"Just a Mercedes C, not that high-end."

Huazi led the two into the room, got them water, and sat down at the table together. He explained, "Brother Yan is truly awesome. With him leading, our dealership is developing very fast. Look at it now, there are more people in the shop, the repair shop over there has expanded, and several experienced master mechanics have been added. Now we have fifteen people in total; it's already developed and grown."

"Before, we really only did economy cars, the most expensive being just over 100,000. We mainly focused on volume, selling fast. It's also recently, with more cash on hand, that Brother Yan decided to expand the scale, raising the price cap to 300,000, and the car models have enriched quite a bit. However, the pressure is also greater. We currently owe nearly 2 million. Huazi and I don't have Brother Yan's big heart; we're terrified every day."

"Don't you only have 10%?" Yang Xiaoyun said, somewhat uncomprehending.

"Beauty, how come when you say it, 200,000 doesn't seem like money?" Huazi was even more unable to understand, then looked at Mi Lai on the side and realized. "But that's right, you've been in contact with Mi Lai for a long time, you must be influenced by her. My family is just an average family, and I haven't spent little of my family's money over these years. 200,000 could bankrupt my family, and maybe still fall a bit short."

"My family doesn't have money either, we're all ordinary families, but I don't think 200,000 is impossible to pay back, it's not like it's life-threatening."

"Then you don't think about it, now it's 200,000, what about later? Brother Yan said, no matter if we've made money or not, the company will definitely keep borrowing, and borrowing more and more. In less than a month, we already owe nearly 2 million. I don't dare to think how much we'll owe in a few more months..."

When Huazi mentioned it, his face was full of terror.

It was really playing too big, too wild. Although Wang Yan had already given him and the other guy lessons, explaining things very thoroughly, the two were still afraid.

But in reality, this is just normal business operation. How can you do business without owing money? How can you expand quickly? How can financial circulation work?

Mi Lai understood these things very well, and she felt Wang Yan was doing nothing wrong. It's just that she had no heart to talk about these things now, so she just lay on the table, silently listening to Huazi chatting with Yang Xiaoyun...

After about half an hour, Wang Yan walked over with a smile, holding a thermos cup with tea in it.

He lit a cigarette, sat on a stool, looked at Mi Lai and Yang Xiaoyun, and said with a smile, "Oh, if I'm not mistaken, the little rich girl has cried, right?"

"You're really not mistaken, old man. I'm already at the point where I want to cry but have no tears."

"Brother Yan..."

Wang Yan reached out his hand, not letting Huazi continue. He exhaled a puff of smoke, hugged his shoulders, pondered for a moment, and said, "If I'm not mistaken, you broke up with Lu Tao, right?"

"Whoa, guessed really accurately, Brother Yan." Yang Xiaoyun expressed surprise. "But I feel this isn't hard to guess. Mi Lai's family has money, and she has no other worries. If she can cry like this, it must be an emotional problem. Brother Yan, why don't you guess again, why did they break up?"

"What you said makes sense." Wang Yan nodded with a smile. "Let me guess..."

He was silent again for a moment, then looked straight at Mi Lai until she felt uncomfortable and at a loss, only then did he take a puff of smoke and speak.

"It wasn't Lu Tao cheating, was it?" His tone sounded not very certain.

Mi Lai was surprised.

Yang Xiaoyun was naturally surprised too. She wondered, "Yeah, Brother Yan, how did you see that?"

"Yeah, Brother Yan, it's truly divine, you're not really able to calculate, are you?" Huazi also chimed in.

Wang Yan laughed: "Analysis. Xiaoyun just said it, Mi Lai's family conditions are good, her parents spoil her, such a rich girl, wholeheartedly devoted to Lu Tao, beautiful, good figure, and long legs. If they've broken up and she's crying so miserably, then it's highly probable that Lu Tao is at fault. Ordinary faults wouldn't reach the point of breaking up, so I guessed Lu Tao has someone else."

"And I think it's highly likely it was before we went camping. Because at that time, I saw Lu Tao was a bit absent-minded, feeling he was a bit perfunctory. I didn't feel it then, but looking back now, maybe he was thinking of someone else then."

"It really is, you said it all." Yang Xiaoyun shook her head. "Truly terrifying."

"Did I steal your rice? What's so terrifying?" Wang Yan was between laughter and tears.

"It feels like there are no secrets, and everything you do is seen through by you. No wonder your sales ability is so strong; it turns out you know what people are thinking."

"Using your brain is exhausting; where would I have so much energy? If I analyzed everyone I met, I'd have been exhausted to death long ago." Wang Yan waved his hand and said, "It's just that I noticed it at the time, but didn't think much of it. It's only now that I've connected it."

Mi Lai raised her head and asked, "Then what do you say we came to you for?"

"That goes without saying, right? It must be that you broke up over there, and immediately thought of the goodness of me, Wang Mou, wanting to find a next home. Maybe you sisters have open minds, are tolerant, can tolerate each other, and also pity me, letting me realize the dream of sleeping together under one quilt. Hey, don't be in a rush to curse."

Not waiting for the two to curse, Wang Yan laughed. "Don't I have to say this back? We still lack understanding of each other, right? Before this, we definitely have to eat and drink to enhance our feelings. By the way, let's severely criticize Lu Tao's shameless act of disloyalty and dishonesty."

"I'll let you pass." Mi Lai curled her lips.

Yang Xiaoyun also pouted, looking as if she didn't think much of it: "Sure enough, men are all the same, only good at flowery words."

Huazi argued: "Don't beat everyone with one stick. Don't drag Lu Tao's business onto us brothers."

"Hey, just now he said he wanted to sleep under one quilt."

Wang Yan laughed: "Don't talk about useless things, just say whether you like hearing flowery words or not."

"I haven't heard them yet, you say two sentences first and let me hear."

"You didn't wear makeup today, right? You feel especially fresh." Wang Yan was full of seriousness.

"Really?" Yang Xiaoyun was stunned for a moment. "I did, I spent an hour on it. Can't you tell?"

"Really? Then I'll look closer."

Wang Yan was also stunned for a moment, then leaned in close, his breath about to fall on Yang Xiaoyun's face.

Then he said, "If I hadn't leaned in to look, I would have thought you were bare-faced. I really couldn't tell. I don't understand, but it feels like it's not the same style as the day we went camping. But if you ask me, you don't need makeup at all. You're naturally beautiful, and makeup takes an hour; what a waste of time? I think you just need to use some skincare products. Look at your arm, how white, how tender."

"True or false?"

Wang Yan nodded: "Definitely, I don't tell lies. Huazi, don't you agree?"

"Yes, yes, yes, a beauty is a beauty, no need for makeup at all." Huazi nodded vigorously.

Wang Yan raised his eyebrows at Yang Xiaoyun: "Look, it's obvious to all."

Yang Xiaoyun pressed her lips: "Actually, it's not as good as you say."

At this moment, the sad Mi Lai burst out laughing.

"What are you laughing at?"

"Didn't you ask him to say sweet words? Look at you now."

"Oh, how annoying." Yang Xiaoyun reacted, glaring at Wang Yan, and also took a swipe at the innocent Huazi. "Sure enough, men's mouths are all lying ghosts, not to be trusted at all."

"My biggest flaw is that I love telling the truth. You think I'm really lying to you? This is the highest realm of flowery words: telling the truth. But having said that, since it's already the truth, how can it be flowery words? That's a fact."

"Slick-tongued."

"Just say if you're happy or not, and if you're willing to listen."

Yang Xiaoyun looked elsewhere, pressing her lips: "A little happy."

"Then that's very good, happy is enough. Look, Mi Lai is laughing." Wang Yan looked at Mi Lai.

"Look at what you're saying, I can't really die, can I?"

"That would be too unworthy." Wang Yan shook his head.

"Less nonsense, when can we leave?" Mi Lai said somewhat impatiently.

"It's not even noon yet, you'd better think it through."

"Just say whether you're drinking or not."

"Two great beauties invite, how can I say no?" Wang Yan raised his eyebrows, then stood up and waved. "Let's go."

"Then what about me, Brother Yan?"

"If you don't want to go, then don't go."

"I'm definitely going." Huazi laughed.

So Wang Yan arranged the work, went out, let Huazi drive his Santana wagon, and the four of them went to a Sichuan restaurant together.

As soon as they arrived, before even the cold dishes were served, Mi Lai downed a bottle of beer.

Wang Yan, Huazi, and Yang Xiaoyun accompanied her with a symbolic drink, watching Mi Lai blow the bottle.

Don't say, ordinary people really can't blow the bottle, but Mi Lai could.

After drinking a bottle of wine, Mi Lai's already red and swollen eyes were even redder because of the beer's gas, and she even had tears.

She let out a long hiccup.

"No, are you three just watching? Don't you have to say some comforting words? Don't you have to criticize Lu Tao?"

Huazi and Yang Xiaoyun looked at Wang Yan tacitly, because they felt Wang Yan would know what to say, and they didn't need to ramble.

Wang Yan smiled slightly... ===== CHAPTER 1249 =====
