Marriage in crisis

As I was speaking, my cell phone suddenly rang. I picked it up and saw that it was Song Li.

Chi Xi glanced at me and asked, "Who?"

"Song Li!" I said, looking at her.

Chi Xi said coldly, "I can't sit still anymore!"

I quickly picked up the phone with a smile on my face, "Mr. Song!"

Song Li smiled, "You're back?"

"Yeah, how did you know? I was just about to hang up on you." I smiled happily, "I actually came back the night before last. I sent the kid away yesterday and just took some time to fix my hair."

I told her the truth. I thought that since she asked me directly, "Are you back?", it meant that she already knew my whereabouts.

"Do you have time next time?" She was very proactive this time, and I could tell that she really wanted to see me.

"I just finished. Where are you? I'll come over, but I'm with my friends!" I directly told them about my situation.

"Then let's go. I'm here in Times Square. I just bought some things and I'm tired. Let's go to the Auchan Coffee here!" She told me her location in detail and didn't refuse me to bring my friend.

"Then please wait for us, we will be there in about fifteen minutes!" I told the time and then hung up the phone.

She Hui asked me, "Is it convenient? Otherwise I'll take a taxi and go home directly!"

"It's convenient. You can meet this person too. There's no harm!" I said, and then looked at Chi Xi. "She knows and has returned to Qingcheng. Let's see how she explains it later!"

When the car arrived at Times Square, She Hui and I got off on the roadside while Chi Xi went to park the car.

As soon as we entered, Song Li saw us and raised his hand. I quickly walked over with She Hui, smiling.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Song, I kept you waiting!" I said, and just as I was about to introduce She Hui to her, she said, "Hello! We've met before! In your store!"

She Hui nodded immediately, "Mr. Song, you have a really good memory!"

"Just call me Auntie!" Song Li said with a smile, "Actually, my children are not much younger than you."

"Aunt? That's a bit far-fetched. You... don't look like an aunt!" She Hui looked at Song Li and complimented her, "Just call me sister! Let's get to know each other formally. My name is She Hui, and it's nice to meet you!"

Song Li nodded and smiled elegantly, "It's up to you guys! Calling me sister makes me feel very energetic!"

She rang the bell for the waiter, "What would you like to drink?"

"Blue Mountain!" We both said in unison, and then smiled at each other.

Song Li looked at us and sighed, "It's great to have a best friend!"

I blurted out, "Sister is in Beijing, she must have a lot of friends!"

Song Li smiled faintly, "To be honest, very few! Almost none!"

She Hui immediately said, "That doesn't look like it! Unless you despise it!"

Song Li nodded at She Hui and said with a smile, "At my age, I don't like socializing! Especially in Beijing. I don't dare to socialize. Once you get involved in their trap, you will fall into that vortex. People will call you non-stop every day!"

Song Li looked distressed, "That's why I don't dare to contact you easily. I can't afford to accompany you!"

As we were talking, the waiter brought the coffee we ordered.

After he left, I continued what Song Li said, "You're right. It's the same everywhere. Some social events are indeed too time-consuming and cost too much energy. I really can't afford them! Have you never left Qingcheng?"

"I left. I'm here again. After we met last time, something happened in the capital. Something happened to a partner! I hurried back to deal with it." She said it calmly.

I was stunned. What was her plan? Could it be that the partner she was talking about was the Xu family? What was she playing?

I played along and said casually, "Does that affect you?"

She looked calm and said, "It has some impact. The boss ran away! It's really upsetting!"

"Ah? So serious?" I was surprised. "I am most afraid that my partners will be implicated for no reason if something like this happens to them."

"You won't be implicated, but there will definitely be losses! You should know them! The Xu family in Beijing!" Song Li said directly, then looked straight at me.

"Xu... Are you talking about the Xu family?" I continued to act as if I had just woken up from a dream, "Are you talking about the Xiangrui Building?"

"You heard about it too?" Song Li asked me directly.

Her tactics were simply a sleight of hand. I felt like there were gun tips everywhere in front of me, and I couldn't tell the real from the fake. It felt like I couldn't dodge even if I wanted to.
