Chapter 126: Colluding or confronting each other?

"Or, to be more precise, from colluding to confronting each other?" Li Wenye's fingertips slowly rubbed the edge of the tea cup, his long, narrow phoenix eyes hooking a sharp arc at the corners.

Colluding? Confronting each other?

Neither of these two words is a good word.

Su Ruoyun was five years younger than Huo Jingcheng and Su Mingyan, and because of the difference between before and after September, she was six grades younger than the two, so she didn't spend the same learning stage in school, and what she heard were rumors circulating on campus.

Su Ruoyun's long eyelashes drooped slightly, covering most of the emotions flowing in her eyes, silently struggling in her heart: say it or not?

On one hand, the exchange conditions Li Wenye threw out were very tempting and very much to her "appetite," accurately hitting her. But on the other hand, out of "loyalty" to her friend, she couldn't tell such a private matter to a man who could be called a stranger.

Su Ruoyun was struggling, as if two little people were fighting in her heart. She frowned, her fingers unconsciously reaching for the tassels hanging from the table flag, tugging at them with her fingertips, as if looking for some comfort to relieve the struggle in her heart.

The table flag was based on deep purple, with gold-colored lines outlining exquisite flower patterns, firmly pressed on the yellow pear wood table. The texture of the wood and the gorgeousness of the table flag set each other off, and the tassels on both sides of the table flag hung down, swinging back and forth because of Su Ruoyun's movements.

Li Wenye lowered his eyes, his gaze falling on the swaying shadow on the ground, and didn't open his mouth to urge, just waiting for Su Ruoyun's answer quietly.

After a long while, the silence permeating the air was broken.

"No need." Su Ruoyun spoke and politely declined.

Su Ruoyun didn't want to use this way to pry into the affairs between Su Mingyan and Huo Jingcheng. After all, one was her boyfriend and the other was her elder brother, so it was impossible to know the relationship between the two from an outsider's mouth.

A flash of surprise passed through Li Wenye's eyes, but it was quickly suppressed by him.

He smiled, the smile was very light, not reaching the bottom of his eyes, "Miss Su doesn't want to know about Old Huo and your brother, but I really want to know about Li Li."

The temptation failed, so he changed it to coercion directly.

Su Ruoyun heard his subtext, her eyes and brows lifted lightly, "You want to 'force buy and force sell'?"

Li Wenye meant that he didn't care if you were curious or not, whether you wanted to know or not, anyway, he had to figure out what happened between Li Li and her ex-boyfriend today.

Hearing this, Li Wenye disagreed with an "Eh," and retorted: "I am a well-known rule-abiding person in the circle, complying with laws and regulations. I wouldn't dare to do things like forced buying and selling even if I had a hundred guts."

Su Ruoyun raised her eyelids and glanced at him nonchalantly. The familiar feeling and operation, the two are worthy of being friends.

She couldn't help but recall the evaluation of Huo Jingcheng and Li Wenye in the circle: a rogue who acts recklessly, and a ruffian who plays with the world.

If Huo Jingcheng is the cold, fierce snow wolf galloping in the shopping mall, then Li Wenye is the cunning and agile red fox. The two cooperate in the shopping mall so perfectly that they easily collapse the opponent's industrial chain and supply chain.

"Okay." Su Ruoyun had to give in, her tone carrying a hint of compromise, "What do you want to know?"

Li Wenye's sharp thin lips curled into a "proud" smile, but when he touched Su Ruoyun's eyes, he instantly restrained his expression and asked seriously: "Why did they break up?"

"Not suitable." Su Ruoyun's tone was flat, and her eyes were waveless like still water.

After hearing her answer, Li Wenye frowned, dissatisfied with this answer, it was too general, so he continued to pursue: "Where is it not suitable?"

"Nowhere is suitable."

Being coerced and tempted, Su Ruoyun also had her own temper, clearly not cooperating.

Li Wenye also saw it, clicked his tongue secretly in his heart, and was helpless toward her, "I didn't want to use this to do anything, I just wanted to understand her a little more."

"I can guarantee you that I won't use this to stimulate Li Li..."

He said sincerely, Su Ruoyun sighed almost inaudibly, and finally narrated the matter briefly: "Actually, it's very simple, not as complicated as you think. The two fell in love in college, and after graduation, the man planned to return to Nancheng to work. Li Li couldn't go with him, so the two broke up."

She pondered for a moment, "When they broke up, it was quite ugly. The man said that Li Li was just a third-generation who only knew how to eat and wait for death, and only knew how to rely on her family for her whole life. If it were based on ability, a hundred Lilis couldn't catch up with him..."

Su Ruoyun's tone carried a hint of sarcasm, she summarized: "Anyway, the words were very ugly. Li Li felt very ashamed, said she was blind for four years, and didn't allow anyone to mention this shameful thing again."

As the words fell, her expression carried a hint of vague curiosity, and she asked: "Such an ordinary thing, why do you want to know so much?"

As soon as these words came out, Li Wenye closed his eyes silently, and Li Li's indescribable expression and her words flashed through his mind.

Very good, he was deceived by her again.

Li Wenye didn't immerse himself in the emotion for too long. After exhaling, he planned to tell the story between Huo Jingcheng and Su Mingyan according to the agreement.

But he was rejected by Su Ruoyun again.

"Okay, I'll wait for the day you come to ask me." Li Wenye's smile was deep and thought-provoking.

He raised his hand, picked up the tea cup unhurriedly, the tea water in the cup was bright in color, emitting a faint luster, and the rising heat carried a rich bean fragrance.

He held the cup to his lips, tilted his head slightly, drank the tea in the cup in one gulp, and his Adam's apple moved up and down with the swallowing action.

After drinking, he put down the tea cup and evaluated sincerely: "This tea is not bad, how much is left in the tea house?"

Su Ruoyun said: "You want it all?"

"Hmm." Li Wenye nodded.

Seeing this, Su Ruoyun said the words first, "Our box of Lion Peak Longjing is 250g, the price is..."

She reported a number, which made Li Wenye raise his eyebrows.

Afraid that he wouldn't buy it, Su Ruoyun hurriedly added: "Our tea house's Longjing is Lion Peak Longjing group cultivar tea, all handmade, it's the first harvest of Shifeng Mountain before the Spring Equinox this year, you just drank it, the tea taste naturally goes without saying."

It goes without saying, but this tea is also too expensive. Li Wenye swiped his card with heartache, carrying a delicate and small packaging box, and left the tea house.

Today is the monthly performance summary of the tea house. Su Ruoyun held a small meeting for the employees and tea artists in the tea house after sending Li Wenye away.

After spending more than an hour, the meeting ended, and she drove away from the tea house, arriving at the family courtyard later than Su Mingyan.

When the Mercedes parked in the parking lane at the door, Su Ruoyun's gaze passed through the windshield, and what came into view was Su Mingyan's pure black Maybach, emitting an undeniable aura.

Rather than knowing from a third party, it is better to ask the person involved.
