Fatal Preference

Chapter 5

The carriage fell into a brief silence because of Lai Pretty's words.

As for her question, Shang Yu responded with silence.

Lai Pretty yawned lazily, her water-stained eyes glancing out the window with a misty look.

What kind of man was he really?

There were so many labels attached to him, but Li Qiao felt that none of them were him.

At this time, the mobile phone in the pocket suddenly rang.

Ri Pretty returned to her senses and saw the caller ID, which reminded her of Tang Yi Ting, who she had left at the pool hall.

She glanced at Shang Yu and held up the phone to her ear, "What's wrong?"

Tang Yiting's staggering voice suddenly resounded throughout the carriage, "Where did you run off to? There's no one in the finance room, come back quickly, everyone is still waiting for you to drink, don't get drunk tonight."

Accompanied by her questioning, Li Beauty vaguely also heard the 'thud' sound of kicking the door.

How can I put it? Just awkward.

Because she accidentally touched the speakerphone when she pressed it to the side of her face.

In the quiet carriage, after a moment of dead silence and stagnation, Lai Pretty expressionlessly said, "Wrong number."

Then, hung up the phone and switched it off smoothly.

Tang Yiting, who kicked the door at the entrance of the Casino's finance room, "???"

At this time, Shang Yu closed the folder in his hand, smoothly placed it on the side of his leg, and carelessly opened his mouth, "Come with friends?"

Lai Pretty shoved her mobile phone back into her pocket and shook her head in a serious manner, "No, don't know."

Shang Yu leans lazily against the back of the chair, exchanging positions with his legs, and when he closes his eyes, he lightly glances at her with his afterglow.

The light in the carriage is very warm, Lai Pretty captured his eyes, tilted her head and smiled, full of innocence.

......

Ten minutes later, the caravan stopped outside the Li family villa.

When Li Beauty was about to get off the car, the man who was pretending to sleep suddenly spoke hoarsely, "Tomorrow morning Shang Lu will come to the door to apologise for withdrawing from the marriage, he has the responsibility."

"Let him come the day after tomorrow!" Lai Pretty stopped pushing the door and looked at Shang Yu and said.

Withdrawing from the marriage is such a big deal, the whole family should always be neat and consistent.

Tomorrow morning is too rushed, big brother, third brother and mum may not be able to make it back.

Upon hearing this, the man slowly lifted his eyes, those deep dark eyes slightly reddened, transmitting an unknown fatigue.

Lai Pretty didn't give him a chance to ask, pulled open the car door and drilled out, before closing the door she stuck one hand in her pocket and propped herself up against the door frame, "Thank you Master Diffractor for sending me home, let's ...... see you the day after tomorrow."

The girl flung on the car door and entered the house with light footsteps.

In the carriage, it seems that the faint scent of the girl's body still remains.

The driver peeked in the rearview mirror, the man in the mirror has been looking at the direction of the girl left, a long time did not return to God.

This car, he opened or not?

Until a few seconds later, Lai Pretty's figure melted into the night, the driver also heard a low shallow sigh, "Leave the day after tomorrow free."

The driver's face was difficult, "Master, the master asked you to return to Parma the day after tomorrow ......"

"Vacate it!"

"Yes!"

The driver didn't dare to say more, but he felt that his master's sudden change of itinerary was definitely related to that girl!

Previously, when the second master wanted to withdraw from the marriage, the master had said that he would let him solve the problem himself, and now he was planning to make a personal visit to the door because of the girl's words?

The luxury caravan drove towards the highway once again, and the driver also said at the right time, "Just now, Autumn Shao sent a message, saying that he was going to the Dark Hall to rendezvous."

"Hmm."

......

The following day, at ten in the morning, Lai Pretty sat in the dining room quietly eating breakfast.

The second brother, Lai Yan, sat opposite her, holding his mobile phone and scratching it twice from time to time, "Mom will arrive home at three o'clock this afternoon, big brother has already got off the plane, and junior said he won't be able to get there until the evening."

After saying that, Li Yan stared at Li Qiao across the table and asked, "Did Shang Lu say when he would come to withdraw the marriage?"

Lai Pretty bites into a mouthful of toast and returns indifferently, "Tomorrow."

Lai Yan nodded his head fervently, his tone vicious: "Doggone Shang Lu, when Big Brother and Little Three come back, let's see how we'll clean him up."

......

After breakfast, Lai Pretty returned to her room and picked up her mobile phone only to realise that she had switched it off last night and forgot to turn it on.

The moment the screen lit up, Li Beauty felt her phone explode.

More than two dozen WeChat messages were all from Tang Yiting.

Tang Yi Ting: Did I make a wrong call? [Doubtful]

Tang Jiaxiaoting: Impossible! I know your number backwards and forwards!

Tang Jia Xiaoting: Lai Xiaoshou, you're inhuman. The security guy said you left with a big shot who's particularly awesome.

Tangxiaoting: Am I still your favourite person?

Tang Jiaxiaoting: Why don't you say something ......

****：[********]You actually switched off the phone, the heart hurts so much, I feel like suffocating.

All the messages read down, the corners of Lai Pretty's mouth twitched twice.

She was almost able to brainstorm the scene where Tang Yiting stood in front of the finance room, puffing up and sending her a message.

Knowing she was in the wrong, Ri Pretty poked at the screen and replied with a few words: there's indeed something going on.

Then, she logged on to Chanel's official website, found the latest handbags on sale, took a screenshot and sent it to Tang Yiting, with the message: I'll send it to you tomorrow.

Tang Jia Xiaoting returned in seconds: thank you boss, boss you continue to be busy. [Expectant rubbing hands hands.jpg]

......

That afternoon, Lai Pretty went back to the Casino to pick up the car and went to the Chanel counter.

Throwing the gift box into the boot, she sat in the driver's seat, her fingertips knocking on the steering wheel, thinking about something.

After a long time, Lai Pretty started the engine and drove directly to the Riverview Residence Apartments.

Here, is her cousin Li Shaoquan's residence.

As the car approached the intersection, Li Beauty caught a glimpse of a roadside fruit stall, she stopped the car and bought a bunch of bananas.

When visiting her cousin, she couldn't go empty-handed.

The flat is a leaping design, Li Qiu carried the bananas and pressed her fingerprints on the fingerprint code lock.

The moment the door opened, a pungent smell of cigarette smoke came from the interior.

Li Qiu pushed the door open as a matter of course, and went straight to the study on the first floor with her long, straight and slender legs.

At this time, Li Shaoquan is sitting in front of the computer to knock the code, dark circles under the eyes thick, hair half-length, looks like there is a period of time without trimming.

He is obviously a nobleman, but he has turned himself into a scruffy tech geek.

Lai Shaoquan is the only son of Lai Pretty's second uncle's family, from an affluent background, but at the age of twenty-six he is still not doing his job.

His ultimate dream in life is to become the godfather of the Red Hacker Alliance, or the father of hackers for short.

Red Hacker is just a code name, there was once a hacker trans-oceanic war in Nanyang, then many young people spontaneously formed the Red Hacker Alliance, and in one fell swoop, killed this group of illegal hackers who attempted to shake the local economy.

That year, Lai Shaoquan was eighteen years old, and ever since then he had been obsessed with joining the Red Hacker Alliance, an organisation that was the embodiment of justice.

Lai Pretty narrowed her eyes and walked to the computer desk, placing the three bananas in her hand in front of Lai Shaoquan, the smell of smoke in the air was so strong that she frowned in disgust, turning her head to look at the floor-to-ceiling windows, which were actually open.

Then look at the ashtray piled up cigarette butts, how did not smoke him to death?

At this time, Lai Shaoquan bit the mouth of the cigarette and raised his head, rubbed his eyes, and muttered vaguely, "This fruit ...... is quite expensive!"

Three bananas, what a great deal.

Li Shaoquan smoothly leaned against the computer desk, looked around the yellowing wallpaper, lazily retracted his eyes, "Gift is light, help me check someone."

Li Shaoquan's fingers on the keyboard paused, pinched the mouthpiece and blew out a mouthful of smoke, picking up the banana and shaking it, "My future godfather of red guest is worth three bananas?"
