Why?

A thunderclap sounded out from outside the window. Surprised, everyone in the room turned their heads to look out the window. A heavy rain was descending from the sky, bringing with it an intimidating aura.

But only Li Chenxi, still as if nothing had happened, just sat there quietly, like a statue, slowly swallowing the clouds and spitting out mist.

After a while, the rain outside showed no signs of stopping. Instead, it got heavier and heavier, like a waterfall.

Someone answered a phone call and then said, "Sorry everyone, my sister is trapped in the suburbs, I have to go and receive it!"

"Ah, I'm fine, why did Tingting go to the suburbs?" Lu Shaoling asked.

That person said, "Isn't it the women who are gathered together for some sort of party today?"

Before he finished speaking, he looked towards Li Chenxi and said casually, "I heard that Mrs. Li went as well. I wonder if it is raining heavily outside and we might be trapped in the suburbs as well."

Hearing that, Lu Shaoling turned and looked at Li Chenxi, he was not surprised at all, maybe because he was not used to being addressed as' Mrs. Li ', and did not think Shu Yao's way.

He was still smoking as he looked at the heavy rain outside the window with an indifferent expression.

Lu Shaoling sighed, then said to the man: "Then you can go to the suburbs and bring Shu Yao back as well!"

"My sister is at the Four Seasons Garden's restaurant. I don't know where the Mrs. Li is, so how do I receive her?"

Lu Shaoling took out his phone, "Then I'll give Shu Yao a call."

But before he finished speaking, he immediately realized that Shu Yao was a mute, and would rarely make phone calls with ordinary people.

Except Mo Wanwan.

Then, he immediately changed his words. "I'll send WeChat, WeChat!"

However, after sending the message and waiting for nearly ten minutes, that person got impatient and stood up to urge, "No way, my sister needs to wait!" "I'm leaving!"

Lu Shaoling hurriedly stopped her, then sent her a voice message.

However, no matter how many messages he sent, the news would always be buried in the ocean and no one would be able to find any news of him.

Yuchi Hao was somewhat puzzled, and that person could not wait any longer. The phone calls came one after another, so Yuchi Hao could only leave in a hurry.

Then, Lu Shaoling and Yuchi Hao no longer bothered with playing cards, and their gaze slowly moved towards Li Chenxi.

He could feel a few burning gazes looking at him. It was faint, yet subtle, and obvious to him.

And when Lu Shaoling said Shu Yao's name for the first time, he heard it.

At this time, Li Chenxi impatiently turned her gaze towards him, opened his lips coldly, and said the first thing he said in the afternoon — —

"What's wrong?"

"What else? Your daughter-in-law might be trapped in the suburbs. What should I do in this heavy rain? Call and ask! " Lu Shaoling spoke extremely quickly, and could not care if Li Chenxi was in the mood or not, as his words struck directly onto his face.

Sure enough, once he said that, Li Chenxi's handsome face sunk even further.

Yuchi Hao said, "Shao Ling didn't mean anything, the rain is too heavy, Shu Yao can't speak, if anything happens, it won't be good!"

"That's right, the weather is too bad!" It's going to rain all night, and I really won't be able to come back! "

Li Chenxi could still hear the words of the few people they were talking about, but he still maintained a calm and collected expression. There were no ripples on his handsome face, as if the person they were talking about had nothing to do with him.

This kind of indifference and alienation was natural.

Seeing him like that, Lu Shaoling wanted to say something, but was stopped by Yuchi Hao. The two of them looked each other in the eyes, and then the rest of the people shivered.

The rain outside the window continued to fall fiercely, without any signs of slowing down. The roaring wind caused the trees to sway from side to side.

After a long while, Lu Shaochen finished his card game, so he turned his head slightly and glanced at Li Chenxi.

He put out his cigarette and stared out the window at the torrential rain, not moving at all.

Lu Shaoling's lips moved, he seemed to be about to speak but he stopped himself. He wanted to open his mouth and urge his again, but he didn't know what to say.

After all, they had been brothers for so many years, yet they could tell that other than the marriage alliance between Shu Yao and a lot of other businesses and the wills of the older generation, there was nothing else.

It was like a flower falling into a river with merciless intentions.

It's a pity about this little mute!

Lu Shaoling sighed as he shook his head. A streak of lightning flashed and lit up the dark room as if it were day.

This time, Yuchi Hao could not sit still, he frowned and looked at Li Chenxi, "Let's make a phone call and ask! "What if something happens?"

But just as he said that, Li Chenxi's phone started ringing.

The sudden ringing sound disturbed the thoughts of everyone in the room.

Li Chenxi took out his phone, looked at the caller ID, and frowned. Then, he picked up the phone.

"Cai Ling, what's wrong?"

Her voice was low and soft, but it carried an indescribable magnetic charm.

Lu Shaoling and Yuchi Hao looked at each other, a tacit understanding appearing in their eyes.

No one knew what the other party said, but a moment later, Li Chenxi hung up and threw his phone on the tea table in front of him, then picked up the cigarette case beside him.

When he found it was empty, not a single cigarette was left, he casually threw the cigarette case into the trash can.

It was unknown whether it was because the room was too quiet or because he had too much strength in throwing things away, but in short, the cigarette box smashed into the trash can with a 'bang' sound.

The gazes of everyone around were focused on him, especially Lu Shaoling and Yuchi Hao.

Li Chenxi lifted his eyelids, and an indescribable irritation arose from the bottom of his heart. His deep eyes were low, overcast and dense, as he casually asked, "What's wrong?"

His voice was not loud, but his tone was sharp. It carried an unquestionable power and brutality that caused the surrounding people to simultaneously turn their gazes in another direction.

Li Chenxi sat for a few more seconds, but still stood up, his heart was agitated, as though something was resting on his chest. When he took out his jacket, he took out another box of cigarettes from the table, and casually picked one up and placed it by his lips.

At the same time, he turned around and walked away.

Lu Shaoling sighed, then suddenly said, "Let's make a bet, it must be Cai Ling who asked Young Master Li to go pick up Shu Yao, do you believe me?"

Yuchi Hao raised his eyebrows and glanced at him, then sneered. "Is there still a need to say anything?!"

Based on their understanding of Li Chenxi, in this world, the only woman that could make him do something on his own accord was probably only Han Cai Ling.

It was just that they had all guessed wrongly.

Even Li Chenxi himself felt that it was very strange. His bad mood today and his behavior of driving to the suburbs at this time, exactly because of who?

In any case, it was definitely not because of Han Cai Ling.

After getting on the carriage, Li Chenxi's phone number continued to ring but no one answered. The bell rang countless of times and played again and again, but the results were the same.

Li Chenxi's expression was somber and cold. His thick mountain-like eyebrows slowly furrowed and the car sped towards the suburbs. The throttle stepped onto the ground and his speed was extremely fast.
