RI Chapter 67

She looked at the person in front of her, very surprised, and in a fluster, she actually broke the wine glass in her hand.

With a *bang*, the sound rang on the ground, and the red wine formed a perfect parabola, splattered on the floor.

Lei Yun lowered his eyes and asked in a low voice, “You still haven’t answered me?”

Chen Jing walked up to him and said faintly, “Lei Yun, I don’t understand what you mean?”

Lei Yun clenched his back molars, and after a long while, he said, “Why didn’t you tell me you were leaving? We went through so much together?”

“Aren’t we even friends?” Lei Yun emphasized the word “friends” heavily.

Chen Jing stared at him intently, and after a long time, the corner of her lips slightly curled up, revealing a smile.

Having known Chen Jing for so long, the number of times he’d seen her smile could be counted on one hand.

“To think that I could become friends with Innkeeper Lei!”

Chen Dong always felt that he and Lei Yun were only old friends and disciples of the master.

“Lei Yun, have you always considered me a friend?”

Lei Yun nodded, “Of course I do.”

He suddenly pulled Chen Jing to sit down beside him, tightly grabbing her arm and asking, “Why are you marrying Tang Feng?”

Chen Dong glanced at her arm, which was being held loosely, and asked with some confusion, “I have to repay my parents’ kindness for raising me.” Her gaze drifted elsewhere, “Also, Tang Feng won’t live for long anyway. After he dies, I can live my own life freely.”

Her voice was full of endless helplessness, and the last sentence seemed like she was deceiving herself.

“I know your body well. Your lifespan won’t be very long. Master often said, ‘Life is short, just seek to have a clear conscience.'” When her mother asked her to repay the debt of raising her, she had no qualms.

So she chose to accept.

Lei Yun tried hard to calm the anger in his heart, saying, “It’s not like you have to marry someone as the only option.”

“There are other ways.”

The other ways made Chen Dong’s eyes flash with a hint of light. Lei Yun, seeing this, was delighted and continued, “Isn’t Tang Feng still alive? Just tell him you won’t marry him and that would be fine.”

Hearing this, Chen Jing smiled self-deprecatingly and said slowly, “Tang Feng will undoubtedly die. I’ve seen him.” She looked into Lei Yun’s eyes, the corners of her lips curling up.

The two just looked at each other like that. In a daze, Lei Yun felt like a thousand years had passed in an instant.

At this moment, a sound of footsteps came, and the two of them were awakened.

The person who came was Chen Dong’s mother, Madam Xie. Seeing Chen Dong and Lei Yun standing together, a lone woman and a widower, her brows furrowed.

“Who is this?” Madam Xie asked, looking at Lei Yun.

Lei Yun said, “I am with Lu Wen.”

Hearing Lu Wen’s name, Madam Xie’s eyes lit up, and she immediately smiled and said, “So you are a friend of President Lu’s. Do you know Yiren?”

Lei Yun was about to answer when Chen Dong said, “He doesn’t know him. He’s lost.”

Madam Xie heard this, smiled, and said to the servant behind her, “Take this gentleman to the front hall.”

After speaking, she gave Lei Yun an apologetic smile, “Yiren and I still have some things to discuss.”

When leaving, Lei Yun gave Chen Jing a reassuring look.

Before the banquet ended, Chen Dong received a text message from Lei Yun, “Don’t worry, I’ll take care of the Tang family’s affairs. I’ll wait for you.”

Chen Jing stood by the window, tightly holding her phone, and slowly smiled.

On the night Lei Yun left with Lu Wen, he took action. He obtained the Tang family’s address from Lu Wen, and sneaked into the Tang family late at night.

In the dark bedroom, a handsome man was lying on the bed. Lei Yun looked at him with his chin propped up for a while, muttering, “He does seem quite handsome.”

But as soon as he thought that this person was his rival in love, he immediately changed his tone.

He took Tang Feng’s pulse, and his expression became colder and colder.

How could Tang Feng’s body be so broken down like this?

Lei Yun frowned and paced back and forth in the room. Chen Jing had already seen that Tang Feng was not long for this world, and he had promised Chen Jing to handle this matter properly.

He turned his head to look at the person on the bed. Tang Feng’s fate was extremely good, with a purple aura around him. If it were in ancient times, he would definitely be ennobled and made a general.

The tribulation he was suffering now was truly undeserved.

At this moment, the small door of the room was opened, and an old man with gray hair, leaning on a cane, walked in.

Lei Yun did not hide. Presumably, this person was the old man of the Tang family. He had discovered that there were cameras installed in here when he first came in, so he had deliberately revealed his figure.

The old man looked at him with some surprise. He was also someone who had experienced many hardships. Having died for so many years, he had seen many strange people and things. Lei Yun was able to enter the Tang family through such strict security, so he must not be an ordinary person.

Lei Yun smiled and greeted the old man Tang.

“Hi! Old Man Tang.”

Old Man Tang glanced at Tang Feng on the bed and said, “May I ask who you are?”

“They all call me Innkeeper Lei.”

In the study, the two sat facing each other.

“My grandson Tang Feng’s current calamity is not without a solution!”

These words made Old Man Tang reveal a look of joy, almost standing up in excitement.

“Innkeeper Lei, please save my grandson.”

Lei Yun looked at the bookshelf aside, seemingly making a decision, and said, “I can save him, and even his two legs can be restored to their original state, but my condition is…” Lei Yun looked at Old Man Tang, “Chen Jing cannot marry into the Tang family. Your Tang family can marry whoever you want, but she is the only one who cannot.”

Old Man Tang was stunned upon hearing this, and a thousand calculations passed through his mind. “Alright.”

The next day, the Xie family suddenly received news from the Tang family, stating that they were canceling the engagement and inviting Miss Chen Jing to visit the Tang family as a guest.

The Xie family was full of doubts, but they were unable to find out any information.

Chen Jing followed the Tang family’s people to the Tang family. Old Man Tang saw that Chen Jing was beautiful and gentle, with an elegant temperament, and liked her very much, warmly inviting her to stay.

Although Chen Dong was puzzled, she did not refuse.

“Yiren, now that you’re here, don’t be restrained. Just treat this place as your own home.” Old Man Tang said with a smile. Lei Yun had already promised him that he would save his grandson, so he naturally had to take good care of Chen Jing.

Of course, it was also a form of threat.

That day, Lei Yun rushed to Huaicheng. He knew how to treat Tang Feng. Tang Feng’s fate reminded him of someone.

After returning to the inn, he quickly ordered takeout. As soon as he saw Lei Dahui, he couldn’t wait to say, “Come with me to the capital.”

Lei Yun was stunned holding the takeout, scratched his head and said honestly, “What are you doing in the capital? I still have to deliver takeout.”

Lei Yun saw his honest appearance and said, “To help you save someone.”

Lei Xiaohui was stunned. How could he save people? All he knew how to do was deliver takeout.

Lei Yun pulled him into the inn and opened the door, saying, “Lei Dahui, your fate is unique. Now I want to ask you to lend me a hand. If things go well…” Lei Yun raised one finger.

Lei Xiaohui instantly remembered the plots in the TV series he had watched before, and thought to himself, could it be giving money?

“I will definitely thank you generously.” Lei Yun thought about his bank card, feeling a pang of pain in his heart. Money could be earned again, wasn’t it just a million? A wife was more important than anything.
