Chapter 157 False Reconciliation
Li Ze felt a little curious and asked:
"What is it? Please tell me."
Zhang Ruoran lowered her voice mysteriously and said to Li Ze:
"Since Bai Qianyue has been in such a hurry lately, trying every day to find ways to come see you."
"After taking a closer look, I think we should pretend to get back together for now."
"We released this information first, to completely nip this idea in the bud."
Upon hearing this, Li Ze's hand, which was about to pick up his water glass to drink, froze in mid-air.
His eyes widened instantly, and his heart raced.
He looked at Zhang Ruoran and asked loudly:
"If what you're saying is true?"
Seeing Li Ze's excited expression, Zhang Ruoran quickly explained:
"Hey, hey, don't get me wrong. Listen carefully, I meant a fake reconciliation."
"What I mean is, for example, we could have a wedding or something, invite everyone over for a meal, and let everyone know."
"However, we won't go to the Civil Affairs Bureau to get the marriage certificate yet. We'll just do it for show."
Hearing Zhang Ruoran say this, Li Ze knew in his heart that they shouldn't get a marriage certificate.
But he was still very, very happy.
How could I not be happy?
If they didn't have a wedding, Bai Qianyue would definitely still think she had a chance.
Once the wedding is held, the whole world will know that Zhang Ruoran is Li Ze's wife.
Isn't this another big step closer to a real reunion?
We can talk about getting the marriage certificate later. Let's settle our status first, which is a great thing.
Without hesitation, Li Ze nodded and said loudly:
"Great! I completely agree! This is a fantastic idea!"
Seeing Li Ze's happy expression, Zhang Ruoran earnestly reminded him:
"Let me make this clear to you, we're just putting on an act for Bai Qianyue."
"Our goal is to let her know that we're together, so she'll leave quickly and stop bothering us."
Don't overthink it and believe we've really made up.
Li Ze smiled and nodded repeatedly:
"I know, I know. Don't worry, I won't overthink it."
"I'm going to take a private plane to Jincheng in a bit."
"Once I've dealt with my nephew's matter, I'll come back immediately to have a wedding with you and pretend we're back together!"
After saying these words, Li Ze stood up from his chair.
He checked the time; he had to leave immediately.
Li Ze waved to Zhang Ruoran, then turned around and strode out of the restaurant.
Zhang Ruoran sat in the chair, watching Li Ze's departing figure.
After Li Ze walked out the door, Zhang Ruoran covered her mouth with one hand and laughed.
She said to herself:
"This guy, even after all these years, he still looks exactly the same as that young man from back then."
"Whenever something like this happens, I get so excited that I even walk faster."
……
At the same time, on the other side.
At the main entrance of Beichen Garden residential community.
Zhao Jiajia and Huo Qian came here with Li Mengli.
The three of them had just reached the front gate.
The security guard standing at the door saw Li Mengli walking over and immediately stood at attention.
The security guard raised his hand very respectfully and gave Li Mengli a standard salute.
Li Mengli nodded to the security guard and then led Zhao Jiajia and Huo Qian into the residential area.
After entering the residential area, Zhao Jiajia and Huo Qian looked around at their surroundings.
There are tall trees and green lawns everywhere, and the ground is very clean; you can't see a single piece of trash.
Zhao Jiajia and Huo Qian both sighed inwardly that the scenery in this neighborhood was truly beautiful.
As they walked, Zhao Jiajia looked at Xizhou and casually said to Li Mengli:
"Mengli, is it just your family living in this neighborhood? You must be living too comfortably, right?"
Upon hearing these words, Li Mengli immediately stopped in her tracks.
She looked at Zhao Jiajia with great confusion and uttered a sound:
"what?"
Zhao Jiajia found Li Mengli's questioning reaction quite strange as well.
Zhao Jiajia asked:
"What's wrong? Don't you know about this?"
"My dad told me personally that a few days ago, this whole neighborhood was bought up by a mysterious big boss."
Upon hearing this, Li Mengli was immediately taken aback.
She opened her eyes wide, looked at Zhao Jiajia, and said very seriously:
"I really don't know anything about this."
"I've been living in this neighborhood these past few days. Every time I go out, I occasionally see my neighbors passing by. I never imagined that my dad would buy the whole neighborhood. You must be mistaken, right?"
Zhao Jiajia shook her head very firmly and said:
"I'm sure I'm not mistaken. My dad is very close to the developer of this residential complex."
"It was at the dinner table that the developer said it himself. He said that a very wealthy and mysterious tycoon took out cash and bought the entire community."
"Moreover, not only did he buy all the houses, but the big boss also replaced the property management company for the community. The current security guards and cleaners are all people arranged by the big boss himself."
Zhao Jiajia continued:
"Back then, all the big bosses in our real estate circle in Seoul wanted to get to know this mysterious tycoon. But because he was so good at keeping secrets, no one could find out who he was."
"So, when I heard you say you lived here that day, I was really shocked."
Li Mengli noticed that Zhao Jiajia's tone didn't seem like she was joking at all.
Only then did she begin to carefully observe the western part of the community.
She turned her head and looked around.
Upon closer inspection, she vaguely sensed that something was very amiss.
For example, when she went out to throw away the trash these past few days, the neighbors she encountered were always the same few people.
The cleaning lady always smiled very respectfully whenever she saw her.
There are also many houses that look like they are inhabited from the outside.
However, upon closer inspection, it becomes clear that no clothes have been hung out to dry on the balconies of those houses, and the windows have never been opened.
Those houses showed absolutely no signs of life.
Li Mengli was completely stunned.
It turns out her father, Li Ze, had kept this from them for so long!
These people in the neighborhood are probably all employees hired by her father to act in their shoes!
Upon learning this earth-shattering news, Li Mengli was extremely shocked.
Although she knew very well that her father had a lot of money.
However, she never imagined that money could be spent in this way!
Buying an entire neighborhood and then hiring people to be your neighbors is just outrageous.
