Chapter 14 - Disheartened

Li Tian wouldn't even care even if he had heard Li You Ran's words.

After all, there were many people who disliked him.

As for Li You Ran, Li Tian wouldn't take his words to heart. However, he felt a slightly iffy as he glanced at Li Sheng Nan.

She was quite a catch, but why did she have to be from the Li family?

Li Tian had a bad impression on the family. He initially had a good impression of Li Sheng Nan, as she was a pretty lady after all. However, after knowing her identity, that slight favorable impression disappeared into thin air.

"Brother Tian, umm... You Ran was immature, I hope you don't take it to heart."

Although Li Sheng Nan didn't know much about the Li family, after hearing that Li Tian was the heir, she became more friendly towards him.

"No worries, just take me to the station."

"About that... brother Tian, even though I wasn't there for grandpa's funeral, I know that you're already married. Do you want to make a phone call to your family? This would actually be quite easy to solve, just let them come bail you out.

Li Tian's marriage was known to the entirety of Beijing, but the news quickly subsided. As she was a part of the Li family, Li Sheng Nan naturally knew about this matter, as Li Tian was still the heir of the Li family.

"No need."

...

"Xiao Yi, mom's leaving. I hope you remember what we discussed earlier, okay?"

Lin Yi's mom said gently before she left.

After having lunch and accompanying her shopping, Lin Yi saw her mom off. Besides a sense of reluctance to part, Lin Yi didn't have much regrets.

The Lin family was quite a big family, and had many rules to keep. For instance, Lin Yi couldn't live with her mom even if she wanted to.

"Okay."

As she saw her mom get into the car, Lin Yi walked back to her villa.

She was reminded of the tasks she still had to do at the office, so she quickly prepared to leave, as it was only 2PM.

"Wang Ma, please sort out the things that we just bought. There are two sets of clothing inside, bring them to his room."

Lin Yi had just came in to take her bag and was ready to leave again.

However, as she reached for her bag, she had heard her phone ring inside.

Could it be from the office?

Lin Yi quickly fished for her phone, but it was from an unknown number.

Lin Yi hardly received any scam calls, so she just accepted it.

"Hello, is this Lin Yi?"

It was a woman's voice.

Lin Yi wondered who it was, as she didn't recognize the voice.

"Yes, I'm speaking."

"Can you make a trip to the police station on Jiang Ning street? Li Tian...is here, and he needs someone to bail him out."

"What? What crime did he commit?"

Lin Yi was shocked as she heard the news. She didn't expect Li Tian to be detained in jail.

"He drove without a license, it's nothing serious. You just need to come bail him out."

Lin Yi felt relieved as she heard that he was just driving unlicensed, Thank goodness it wasn't something more serious. If that were to be the case, it wouldn't be a surprise if she were to faint there and then.

"Okay, I'll be right there."

...

Li Tian hadn't spoken a word ever since he was detained.

It was as if nothing mattered to him at that point.

There was no cellular signal in the room. The only thing he could do was to play mobile games, but who would have the mood to do so.

After some time, the door flung open.

He raised his head and saw Lin Yi's face.

She was frowning, and her eyes looked hateful.

"Come with me, I won't be so nice as to come bail you out the next time."

Lin Yi simply said.

She was stunned as soon as she took her first glance at Li Tian. A grown man was just curled up in a corner.

When Li Tian raised his head, Lin Yi saw his dim eyes.

Did anything happen to him?

When he heard that he could leave, Li Tian instantly stood up and walked pass Lin Yi, heading straight to the exit.

Lin Yi could care less about his life or death. This time, she'd come because it was Li Sheng Nan who called her.

However, this wasn't important. During the few hours that he had been here, Li Tian had already thought everything through.

He wanted to leave, he wanted to leave this place entirely and never return again.

There wasn't a single person who spoke the same language as him, and nobody had ever offered him a word of comfort.

It was like an icy cold hell, where Li Tian couldn't find a trace of warmth. Even if he were to light a fire, this place would still have been freezing. There was no hope.

He hadn't eaten for almost two days now. Although he was starving, he was numb because of the coldness he had felt inside.

As soon as he could get a signal, he immediately made a phone call.

As the call went through, Li Tian demanded forcefully.

"What's the matter? Did anything happen over there? Do you want me to..."

"Don't waste time. Tell me your whereabouts, do you hear me!?"

Li Tian shouted into the phone. He didn't want to hear anything else, he just wanted to get a plane ticket right now and leave this place as soon as possible.

Lin Yi followed behind Li Tian and heard him on the phone.

What? He's leaving?

"Since when did you talk so much, I just want a location, do you hear me!?"

Although she didn't know why, Li Tian's frustration could be heard by Lin Yi. She didn't even need to see his face to guess how he was feeling.

I didn't know that this man was capable of having an outburst.

"Okay, I'll be there in three days!"

Li Tian hung up and left without looking back.

Jiang Ning street was about a ten minute walk to Lin Yi's villa.

Li Tian quickly left and Lin Yi could only drive behind him slowly.

When he arrived at the villa, Wang Ma greeted him, "Sir, you're back."

"Yeah."

He said coldly. Li Tian headed upstairs without giving Wang Ma a glance.

Lin Yi followed behind and Wang Ma said to her, "Miss, he's..."

"Acting crazy."

...

Li Tian didn't have many things, and they could all fit in a suitcase. He had packed everything within five minutes.

As he was scanned the room one last time to see if he'd missed anything, he noticed a few bags near his bedhead.

He clearly remembered that these weren't his things.

He went to see what they were. Clothes, men's clothes.

Are there any other men in this villa? No.

These clothes are...

From Lin Yi?
