Chapter 260: Are You Treating Me Like a Beggar?

Qi Shifeng once asked people online about how to chase girls.

One of the tips was: sharing.

Share the little details of your life with the other person, so that they can get to know your life and get closer to it.

Moreover, the desire to share is also a manifestation of love.

In the past, Xu Tingyu always liked to share some trivial things with him.

But he was ungrateful back then. At first, he thought it was annoying.

Later, he found it interesting when he read those messages, but he didn't know how to reply. So, just like before, he only read them without replying.

He didn't know when it started, but Xu Tingyu no longer had the desire to share with him.

When she first proposed divorce, there had been no sharing in their chat box for a long time.

This time when Xu Tingyu returned to China, after he started to approach her, he also learned to share some things with her.

Sometimes it was the morning sunshine, sometimes the coffee on the conference table, sometimes the sunset glow outside the window...

Xu Tingyu was much more polite than he used to be.

Or maybe she was afraid that if she didn't reply, he would stop her from seeing Youyou. So she would respond to almost every message.

But although she responded, she never took the initiative to share.

The most they talked about was still Youyou.

As for her life, it seemed to be locked to him.

Qi Shifeng finally didn't press the send button. Instead, he threw his phone back on the table.

He was annoyed.

He had never been so uncertain and insecure because of a person.

This week, since he didn't go to see her, she didn't call or send him a single message.

She didn't even have time to see Youyou. She would only call Youyou at night.

And his good son didn't want to share the phone with him or tell him the content of the call at all.

He stared at the sunset glow outside the window and only then realized how deep his longing was.

He missed her so much.

This kind of longing that went deep into his bones surpassed his annoyance at her suspicion of him and his panic at the possibility that there might be someone else in her heart.

He missed her so much that he was almost crazy.

He even thought that even if she came back to destroy him, he would accept it.

As long as there was still a place for him in her heart.

However, when he saw that photo just now, of her and Shen Yan getting into the car in couple outfits with smiles on their faces, his heart seemed to be torn apart.

Were they going to announce their relationship to the whole world?

He disagreed. He wouldn't allow it!

On the other side, Xu Tingyu, who wore a black professional suit to enhance her aura, didn't know that in others' eyes, she and Shen Yan looked like they were wearing couple outfits.

She and Shen Yan were sitting in a private room of a private club, both with solemn expressions.

Sitting opposite them was Cai Lan.

This person who had been weighing on Xu Tingyu's mind since the Xu family went bankrupt was now sitting there, emaciated and listless.

His state didn't look like that of a young man in his twenties at all. He was more like an old man on the verge of death.

"I know what you're here for, Miss Xu. I didn't expect that after all these years, we'd finally meet. You're even more beautiful than in the photos."

Cai Lan looked at Xu Tingyu, and there was a flash of amazement and greed in his eyes.

Back then, Cai Lan wasn't immune to Xu Tingyu's charm.

He even asked Xie Yu if, after the Xu family went bankrupt and Xu Tingyu was driven to a dead end by the creditors, he could play the savior and have some fun with her.

Xie Yu scolded him at that time.

It wasn't because of his thought about Xu Tingyu, but because she was dissatisfied that he even thought Xu Tingyu was good-looking.

"You're my most promising younger brother. If you dare to get involved with this bitch, you can just go back to our hometown."

Because of this warning, Cai Lan never dared to show up in front of Xu Tingyu.

Later, after the Xu family went bankrupt, Cai Lan found that Qi Shifeng didn't divorce Xu Tingyu immediately as Xie Yu had said. He even felt a bit lucky.

It seemed that Qi Shifeng cared about his beautiful wife.

If he had really done something to Xu Tingyu back then, Qi Shifeng would surely not have let him go.

After that, Cai Lan gave up his thoughts about Xu Tingyu and started his dissolute life.

After all, he was so rich. What kind of woman couldn't he have?

But he didn't expect that his happy life didn't last for a few years. He also didn't expect that one day, Xu Tingyu would take the initiative to find him.

"Cai Lan, you still have 120 million in debt. Someone is offering two million for one of your hands, right?"

Xu Tingyu was too lazy to talk nonsense with him. She directly hit his sore spot.

Sure enough, when it came to the debt, the lewd smile on Cai Lan's face just now turned into anger.

"I've just been unlucky recently. When my luck turns around, what's this amount of money?"

After he said that, he wanted to reach for the cigarettes on the table.

But as soon as he reached out his hand, the next second, Shen Yan knocked it away with a bat.

He despised Cai Lan and didn't even want to touch him directly.

Of course, he didn't want Xu Tingyu to inhale Cai Lan's second - hand smoke either.

Cai Lan also knew this Young Master Shen. He smiled awkwardly and withdrew his hand.

"Women are really lucky. Miss Xu, you're so lucky. After leaving President Qi, you still have Young Master Shen. Alas, it's different for men. It's hard to get back up after a fall."

There was an implicit meaning in his words.

Shen Yan immediately darkened his face. Just as he was about to teach Cai Lan a lesson, Xu Tingyu grabbed him.

"I'm not here to listen to your nonsense today, Cai Lan. I mentioned the debt just to remind you that I'm here to give you a chance."

It was useless to reason with a scumbag. It was better to get down to business quickly.

"Chance? What chance? Are you going to invest in me?"

Cai Lan became interested as expected.

Since his debt was exposed and Xie Yu kicked him out of the company, he had become like a rat crossing the street, shunned by everyone.

Those who used to surround him, calling him "Brother Lan" one by one, all stayed away from him, afraid that he would borrow money from them.

The women who used to throw themselves at him didn't even show their faces. When they saw him, they pretended not to know him.

Even his wife took their child and hid. She didn't even let him see the child.

His parents also directly kicked him out of the house and didn't allow him to step into the village.

Everyone was afraid of being implicated by him and forgot the benefits they had got from him when he was successful.

He had to live in hiding. During that time, he got involved in more bad things. Now his kidneys were damaged, and he was relying on dialysis to survive.

"I'm here to ask you about the whereabouts of a person. If you can give me useful clues, I can give you 200,000 yuan."

Xu Tingyu frowned and looked at him.

Cai Lan seemed a bit surprised. He raised his eyebrows. "You came to me to ask about a person, not about what happened to the Xu Group back then?"

After a pause, he got angry again. "But no matter what you're asking, only offering 200,000 yuan. Are you treating me like a beggar?"
