Chapter 862 - Director Of The Show (1/2)

From the moment Ying left Xiao Li, she had been wandering around on the streets aimlessly. She had so much running through her mind but when she tried to focus on what exactly was she thinking about, she couldn't grasp it. She just didn't feel good whenever she thought about how Xiao Li told her to get lost.

That look in his eyes really got to her. It was as if he was accusing her that she didn't understand him at all. She could see helplessness and pain in his eyes but she really couldn't tell why he would be feeling that way. Maybe she was really forgetting just how much Xin Xiulin meant to her brother even after all these years.

Since she had been locked up at home for a long time, now that she got the chance to wander around, she did exactly that. With no destination in mind, she just continued to drive around. Even when the night fell, she didn't know where she wanted to go. And at that time, she received a phone call.

Only after that call, she had a clear destination in mind and drove towards it. Parking her car before a house, she alighted, walked through the front yard, and pressed the doorbell.

Soon, the door opened and a haggard-looking figure appeared before her eyes. Looking at him up and down, her brows knitted up, ”Are you dying?”

”Maybe I am,” was the reply she received. ”Come inside,” he invited her inside and stood aside to make way for her to pass through.

Ying walked over and fell on a sofa with her eyes closed, ”Hey, Jini, get me something to eat.”

Zhou Jinhai gazed at her for a minute before he went to the kitchen. As he left, Ying opened her eyes slowly and looked at the tv that had been turned on. The news channel was still discussing Liu Nuan's case. She couldn't hear anything because the tv was on mute. But she could read all the headlines.

”Here,” Zhou Jinhai appeared with a plate of pasta and cola that he placed before her. ”Enjoy your breakfast, lunch, and dinner. All in one!”

”How do you know it's my first meal of the day?” she inquired curiously.

”Your eyes don't have the usual sparkle,” he replied. ”And it happens when you're hungry.”

Ying only let out a chuckle before she paid attention to the pasta before her. After taking a few bites, she asked, ”Did you enjoy the show for today?”

”I enjoyed it very much,” he said rubbing his temples. ”But you weren't the director of that show.”

Ying lifted her eyes to look at him, ”How are you so certain that it's not my doing?”

”It's not style,” replied Zhou Jinhai. ”You like to do everything according to the law. If it was Uncle Zimen, he would have silently put Liu Nuan in a dungeon for life. If it was my dear brother, he'd have made sure to shed some blood. Since it's done in so high profile manner, I'm assuming it's Xiao Li who is behind it all.”

Ying snorted, ”Smart! Why weren't you this smart back then?”

Zhou Jinhai's laughed mockingly at himself as he said, ”Right. I learned my lesson too late.” He took a pause and added, ”So, is it really Xiao Li?” Ying nodded her head. ”Why? Why is he after his own cousin?”
