Chapter 312: Warm Pomelo Tea

Jiang Tao rushed to the meeting place he had arranged with Lin Hao, and when he entered the door and reported his name, the waiter took him into the box, in which Lin Hao was already waiting for him, and he had already ordered two cups of coffee.

Seeing Jiang Tao this time Lin Hao was very calm, pointing to the chair beside him: “Sit down. Black coffee, nothing added – I remembered your preference correctly, right? You’re also the only one who likes that kind of flavor that’s only bitter, although it still smells very fragrant, I just don’t know if you really tasted that hint of so-called fragrance when you drank it.”

Jiang Tao sat down and looked at the coffee, “Thank you.” He beckoned for the waiter, “A glass of lemonade, please.” He didn’t refuse to drink what Lin Hao ordered because he had preconceived notions about him, but only because he didn’t have a good appetite in the past few days, and listened to Zi Shan’s words to stop drinking coffee, and he didn’t sleep well, even without Zi Shan’s advice, he didn’t intend to drink coffee today.

Lin Hao leaned back in his chair and looked at him with a smirk: “What, are you going to learn from a child to cut ties? Isn’t it to settle our former accounts so clearly that I should clean out everything you sent me and return it to you?” He pointed at the coffee, “Does what I ordered annoy you that much?”

Jiang Tao shook his head, “Of course not. I’m here just to make sure of one thing, will you hurt Zi Shan, so if you tell me everything, I’ll leave right away to let Zi Shan come over.” He didn’t dwell more with Lin Hao, he opened the door and got down to business, “Don’t make excuses, you and I know each other very well, you didn’t notify Zi Shan until this time, naturally you have your arrangements, if you don’t tell me the truth I won’t believe you, then even if you’re not sure, Zi Shan can only change her lawyer at this time.”

Lin Hao looked towards the coffee in front of him, “Do you think I would hurt Zi Shan?” He sighed deeply, “No matter if there are some things I’ve deceived Zi Shan about, but my heart for her is something no one can compare to, even if I die I won’t hurt her. You refuse to leave after all, we are no longer considered friends, a friendship, alas.”

He raised his cup, “Make a break. Ten years of brotherhood, later on become strangers and enemies, think about it really makes the heart grow fonder, I still remember the first time I saw you, still remember every thing about our ten years of fellowship – two days ago my mom also mentioned you and asked me to bring this to you, saying that I’m afraid she won’t do it again in the future because no one will ever gulp it down again. drink it down, so that she could look at it and rejoice in her heart.”

“This is earlier in the day she boiled up, originally thought to give it to you when you went in the Spring Festival, but now I can only let me bring it to you, to be honest I had it in my hands for a long time, I never wanted to give it to you, but by now the mood is not so exciting, hey.” He shook his head and pushed a glass jar towards Jiang Tao, “Honey Pomelo Tea, your favorite, it’s not that sweet, it’s the kind you like.”

Jiang Tao looked at the jar of honey grapefruit tea heart do not know what taste, the past years Lin mother Lin father take him as his son and nephew to treat, very love him, let him feel a lot of belong to the warmth of the family, think of Lin mother his heart is sour, caressing the glass jar he gently replied: “On behalf of my thanks to Auntie Lin.”

Lin Hao casually took one side of the empty glass to: “You say thank you yourself, I know my mom wants to hear you say it in person, you know she boiled this thing with a lot of thought, do you want to taste it and then just give her a call? Maybe you’ll change your mind about leaving Bluewater and we can still be brothers.”

Jiang Tao looked at him as he poured out some honeydew tea into a cup, “I’ll have a cup of honeydew tea and I’ll call Auntie Lin to say thank you, but I’m not going to change my mind about leaving this place and I’m not going to let you bother Zi Shan unless it’s Zi Shan who wants to see you. Lin Hao, in fact if you can realize your mistake and stop being obsessive we’re just as much brothers.”

Lin Hao pushed the cup filled with water in front of him, “Drink your tea.” After a pause he still couldn’t help but say something angry, “How can I still be a brother to you after watching you rob my beloved? I, Lin Hao, am not that broad-minded. Drink up, call my mom afterward.”

Jiang Tao picked up the cup and sniffed it and gently took a small sip, after closing his eyes he looked at Lin Hao, “You need to stop avoiding the purpose of our meeting, I’m here to make sure that you don’t have any ill intentions towards Zi Shan, and there isn’t much time left, before Li Rongxuan’s court date Zi Shan has too many things that she needs to familiarize herself with as well as the lawyers’ mentions to her.”

Lin Hao looked at him, “I said I wouldn’t hurt her! Ask me if you really don’t know about my arrangement or are you pretending not to know, or is it because you can’t tolerate Zi Shan meeting with me and are afraid that she’ll rekindle her old feelings for me? What purpose could I have? It’s just to have a chance to see and talk to Zi Shan! It’s just that I want to get Zi Shan to recognize me again through this case, and to accept me with renewed affection.”

Jiang Tao took another sip of honey grapefruit tea and let out a breath, “That’s what we all guessed, but it’s more believable when we hear it from your own mouth. Whether or not you can achieve your wish is all up to Zi Shan, but if you do this, don’t you know that you’ve already turned Zi Shan against you? You should know her character very well.”

Lin Hao turned his face away, “What can I do, thanks to you I can only think of such a chance, you don’t know how I’ve been through these days, you don’t know the pain of longing that I’ve been suffering day after day. Forget it, there’s no point in saying this to you, if you believe it then give Zixan a call, the time and place is up to you.”

He stood up, “Remember to call my mom, I’m going out to wait for Zixan or your call, I’ll pay the bill.” After saying that, he walked out without giving Jiang Tao a second glance, while he didn’t drink the coffee in front of him, as if he ordered the coffee just to look at it, not to drink it.

Jiang Tao watched him go out, first called Zi Shan then called Lin mother, Lin mother heard his voice was very excited – there is angry, sad and also have a hang up, hear Jiang Tao eyes have a little reddening, the next words for half an hour before closing the line, in he stood up ready to go, suddenly felt a little dizzy, shook his head Shaking his head to see the honey grapefruit tea thought of Lin’s mother’s voice, sighed and picked up in one breath and drank it all.

He will no longer go to the Lin family, Lin mother and Lin father’s good he is afraid that there is no opportunity to return, then he is all the more can not spoil Lin mother’s heart, so can not waste the honeydew tea.

After drinking it he tried to stand up, but his head was even more dizzy, shook his head but fell softly into the chair, he muttered a sentence: “not ……” his fingers pressed to the keys on the cell phone, dialed out the words of Zishan number – -The first number he saved for speed dialing was Zixan.

However, Zixan’s phone is occupied, the phone came a few busy sound after hanging up, and he also finally unconscious unconscious.

Zi Shan was on the phone: “Lin Hao, do you really need to go to my father’s house, do you really need my father’s testimony? I don’t think it’s really necessary, even if it is I can’t go to my dad for a testimony, why? You’re a barrister you don’t need to ask me? I’m not happy that he came to me to plead for Li Rongxuan, but Li Rongxuan is his real son after all, people have feelings!” She gasped twice under her breath, “He’s older, ah, he’s already saddened by facing a feud between his own children.”

“No matter who wins tomorrow, it’s only defeat for him. No, I can’t do it – it’s fine to go to Li Rongxuan’s house to take a look, but it’s absolutely impossible to have my father testify or anything, even if it’s the truth about Li Rongxuan’s usual behavior, no, it’s not fine to just write a deposition, to do it that way would be to force him to die.”

Zi Shan took a deep breath, “Find another way, or even if it’s a lesser sentence for Li Rongxuan, I’ll admit it, he can do it, but I can’t, if I force him to write a testimony, I won’t have the face to see my daughter in the future. Oh, that’s okay, Cheng, I’ll go to Li Rongxuan’s room to take a look, but the police should have been there, what can I find if I go again?”

Lin Hao’s voice was soft, in the face of Zi Shan’s impatience and nonchalance he had been very patient and gentle, “It turns out that there isn’t any, but after all this time has passed the Li family thinks that things have passed, maybe whatever his family helped him hide has been taken out? It’s best if they have, and if they haven’t it’s just a walk in the park, don’t you think?”

“I’ll wait for you downstairs in the Li family, then we’ll go to Li Rongxuan’s girlfriend’s place to see if we can find evidence of her and Shen Yi Yi’s connection, only letting Li Rongxuan ambush this matter can’t be put to rest, behind Li Rongxuan, I think that there is a person who instructed him.” He finished and then gently asked: “Zi Shan, do you think this arrangement will work?”

Zi Shan was helpless: “Okay, okay. Sox Jing Anping and I will be there soon, where have you gotten to? Time is running out, you said, but there are still so many things to do, what did you do earlier, if you told us earlier, or if you went to look for evidence earlier, you don’t have to improvise, right?”

Lin Hao silent for a while: “I these days have been looking for evidence, witnesses and physical evidence and so on, because to go to someone’s home is always a little bad, if people do not agree that we can not barge in, that is, people agree to a little bit of that. Now is not want more a little bit of evidence well, things I have given you said, otherwise in the end only Li Rongxuan guilty, still let that behind the guidance of the people get away with it.”

See Anping nodded, Zi Shan know that he is not shirking also no longer say anything, said a “to the meeting to talk about it” on the line, and she did not know that Jiang Tao had called her, just she has been on the phone did not receive it.

Zishan glanced at Anping girls: “to the Li family to find evidence, rather than that we go to find trouble, that Hao Shufen do not know how much a stomach of anger it will obediently let us into Li Rongxuan’s room? As for my dad ……,” she shook her head, “I really don’t want to go.”

Lin Hao had already seen Zi Shan’s car and theirs, his hands were stuck in his pants pockets waiting for them to get off, his face was calm and quiet but his eyes were really spirited, very spirited, he hadn’t been so spirited since he and Zi Shan broke up.
