About 9 o’clock in the evening, Luo Zhan received a call. It was Ou Ming. “Where are you?”
“I am in the old house of the Lis,” Luo Zhan looked at the time. “What happened?”
“Don’t go yet. Wait for me.” Ou Ming quickly hung up the phone. About ten minutes later, a black Bentley appeared at the door of the Li household. Ou Ming was wearing a burgundy suit, carrying health supplements bought from Australia in his hand and feeling very anxious. Standing at the door for a long time, he reached out and pressed the doorbell.
The door was quickly opened, and the person who opened the door was Li Jinnan. Li Jinnan saw Ou Ming, and there was confusion in his eyes. Ou Ming had dark circles and bloodshot eyes, looking tired and beaten. But he still had the kind of elegance that made him look like a prince in woe. There was guilt in his eyes.
Li Jinnan was very surprised to see Ou Ming like that. “Brother Ou? It’s already so late…”
“Is Su Qianci home?”
“Yes.” Li Jinnan opened the door to let him in.
Almost at the same time, three pairs of eyes in the living room looked over. When Ou Ming saw Su Qianci, the guilt in his eyes became even worse. He walked over and placed the gifts on the coffee table. He called, “Su Qianci.”
Su Qianci saw the gifts that were obviously expensive, and then her eyes fell on Ou Ming. Ou Ming suddenly stepped back and bowed to her deeply. She was shocked, immediately stood up and said, “What are you doing?”
“I’m sorry.” Ou Ming’s voice was calm, but at the same time, full of self-blame, “I’m sorry, so sorry.”
Luo Zhan and Lu Yihan looked at each other and did not speak.
Li Jinnan was a bit puzzled and asked, “Why apologize?”
Li Beixing walked over with the posture like a soldier. He was also confused.
Ou Ming did not get up. His voice of guilt and self-blame quickly came through, “On that day, I asked Sicheng to come to me.”
Su Qianci listened to his words and pursed her lips. She remembered of Li Sicheng’s absent-mindedness on that day. He said: Ou Ming had something going on. I have to go and see him. However, after checking on him, he never came back. Her eyes wet, Su Qianci looked at Ou Ming and did not speak.
“On that day, if it wasn’t because of me, he would not have been kidnapped by Tang Zhenghao, and he would not have…” Ou Ming’s voice choked. “I’m sorry.”
Luo Zhan’s eyes also turned red. He stood up and walked over, reaching for Ou Ming’s shoulder. Ou Ming grew up with Li Sicheng, Li Jinnan and Li Beixing. However, because he was the same age as Li Sicheng, they went to school together since kindergarten. Ou Ming and Li Sicheng were the real childhood friends.
Luo Zhan was only playing with them in high school. These days, because of Li Sicheng, he had been feeling terrible. Even he was like this, let alone Ou Ming. It is not difficult to imagine that the departure of Li Sicheng was also a hard hit to Ou Ming.
These days, Ou Ming had gone to the hospital to see Su Qianci several times, but she had not been awake. It turned out Ou Ming was looking for her to apologize.
Su Qianci’s tears fell down and she shook his head. “It’s not on you. Tang Zhenghao’s too despicable. He had been lurking around, just to wait for the opportunity when I was alone. Even if he didn’t go find you that day, Tang Zhenghao would find other time to attack.”
