Chapter 706: Chapter 707: I Need a Female Companion
Xia Yangyang stood beside.
In fact, Xia Yangyang had discovered it long ago.
The feelings Li Zhiqian had for Phoenix didn’t seem as simple and pure as it appeared.
Phoenix was warm towards everyone.
But he seemed to deliberately keep his distance from Li Zhiqian.
And when Li Zhiqian was with Phoenix, there seemed to be an enduring affection.
In three months, Phoenix and their eldest brother Xiao Zhan will be getting married on Bali Island.
There seemed to be a lot she didn’t know about this.
Xia Yangyang never asked about it.
But Xia Yangyang knew that Phoenix, Xiao Zhan, and Li Zhiqian were all adopted and grown up together by Gao Huizhi.
Their bonds were very deep.
If there were some complicated emotions amongst them that people didn’t know about, it was none of Xia Yangyang’s business.
Li Zhiqian and Xia Yangyang went out together.
Li Zhiqian went to the rooftop to smoke.
This place was called the Deer-cutting platform.
It was a spacious and retro platform to the east of Lu You Terrace.
It was the highest place apart from Lu You Terrace.
Standing here, you could see all the pavilions and buildings in paradise.
You could also see the mountains and lakes to the north.
When you looked up, you could even feel incredibly close to the night sky, as if you could pick down the stars on the horizon with an outstretched hand.
Li Zhiqian was smoking, Xia Yangyang walked over and called him.
Li Zhiqian came back to his senses: “Xiao Qi, how’s your situation?”
Li Zhiqian knew about many things going on in Xia Yangyang’s life.
He had also made great efforts to investigate Xu Wan previously.
If it wasn’t for him, Xia Yangyang’s dealing with Liu Ruyan wouldn’t have gone so smoothly.
Xia Yangyang spoke: “You don’t have to worry about me, I’ve sorted out almost everything.”
Li Zhiqian was like an elder brother to her.
Li Zhiqian nodded: “When are you planning to return to the United States?”
Xia Yangyang said, “I haven’t decided yet.”
Xia Yangyang truly hadn’t decided yet.
Liu Ruyan’s second trial was imminent, but Xia Yangyang knew that Liu Ruyan was beyond redemption.
As for Xia Weiwei, she had been handed over to Gu Qichen, presumably her end would be even worse.
Actually, she could leave with peace of mind.
Her purpose of coming back to the country this time had been completely fulfilled.
Years of wishes and grievances had also been settled.
But the one thing Xia Yangyang did not expect was getting involved with Gu Qichen again.
Xia Yangyang hadn’t figured out what to do next?
Xia Yangyang wanted to persuade her grandmother to go abroad with her.
But her grandmother was unwilling, which troubled Xia Yangyang.
She might have to stay in the country for a while longer.
Li Zhiqian looked refined and elegant while smoking.
He took a puff and breathed out a ring of smoke, then put it out.
Li Zhiqian spoke: “Since you are not in a hurry to return to the United States, can you do me a favor?”
Xia Yangyang was puzzled: “What do you need my help with, second brother?”
To Xia Yangyang, Li Zhiqian was omnipotent.
He had no constraints or boundaries and was like a mysterious phantom, striding between the good and the bad.
His businesses were spread all over the world, including listed companies, underground banks, and casinos.
He was Gao Huizhi’s right-hand man, the infamous and handsome second son of the underground city.
What could she possibly do to help him?
Li Zhiqian smiled: “It’s not a big deal. You know, our adoptive father is recently getting into the wine market. I have some business dealings with the French Count Alexander. Their daughter is having her coming of age ceremony in a few days and I’ve been invited. But I’m lacking a female companion.”
