Middle-aged tycoon: Twins come knocking on his door when he goes home for Chinese New Year

One minute ago.

At the entrance of Pinganli Community in Han City.

The black Porsche 718 slowly came to a stop in the shadows by the roadside.

The car door opened, and Dai Yuqian swayed as she stepped out of the passenger seat.

It was already late at night, and there wasn't a soul in sight on the road, only the streetlights casting a dim yellow glow.

Dai Yuqian's legs felt a little weak, and she almost lost her balance.

The driver's side door opened, and Song Hao quickly got out, reaching out to help her arm, his face showing a concerned expression.

"Sisi, are you alright? You look unsteady on your feet. Shall I help you up?"

"Don't touch me!"

Dai Yuqian abruptly shook off Song Hao's hand, took two steps back, and even staggered.

She looked up, her eyes filled with both fear and anger, staring intently at Song Hao:

"Song Hao, don't go too far!"

"I know the way home, you don't need to take me!"

Song Hao's hand froze in mid-air, but he wasn't angry. Instead, he said with a guilty expression:

"Sisi, don't be angry."

"Today at the bar... everyone was really drunk, and I was also a bit tipsy, which is why I lost control a little."

"You know, in those kinds of situations, sometimes when the atmosphere gets right, I can't control myself..."

"Alright! Stop talking!"

Dai Yuqian interrupted him, her voice trembling. All she wanted to do was escape from this man and from this memory.

She gritted her teeth and said in a low voice:

"That's enough for today."

"I don't want my family or anyone else at school to know, not even a single word!"

"You'd better leave now!"

After saying that, Dai Yuqian ignored Song Hao's reaction, wrapped her white down jacket tighter, and rushed into the stairwell of the apartment building.

Song Hao stood there, watching Dai Yuqian's hasty retreat.

The look of guilt and concern on his face just now vanished without a trace.

Instead, a contemptuous sneer appeared.

He spat on the ground and muttered a curse under his breath:

"Tch, stop pretending to be innocent."

"Slut."

After finishing his rant, he turned and got into his car. The Porsche roared to life and sped away.

In the stairwell.

Dai Yuqian held onto the handrail and climbed up step by step.

She felt dizzy and her mind was in turmoil, as if a tangled mess was stuck in her chest.

Just as I reached the third floor, my phone suddenly rang in my pocket.

In the empty hallway, the ringing of the bell sounded particularly jarring, startling her so much that she shuddered.

She frantically pulled out her phone to take a look.

Three words appeared on the screen: 【Li Menghan】.

Looking at the name, Dai Yuqian's finger hovered above the screen, unable to press it down.

She leaned against the wall, panting heavily, tears welling up in her eyes.

I regret it.

She truly regretted it.

"I really shouldn't have gone to that bar with Song Hao today..."

"Why would I covet a student council president...?"

The phone kept ringing persistently, like a death knell.

Dai Yuqian hesitated for a long time before finally taking a deep breath and patting her face to try and clear her head.

She pressed the answer button, trying to make her voice sound as normal as possible:

"Feed... Meng Han?"

On the other end of the phone, Li Menghan's voice was urgent, even carrying a hint of accusation:

"Sissi! You finally answered the phone!"

"Where did you go today? You haven't replied to my messages all day!"

Dai Yuqian's heart suddenly clenched.

But she quickly thought of Li Mengli, whom she had met that morning; she was now her only lifeline.

She steadied herself and said:

"I...I went to play ball with our club president."

"Didn't your sister see me this morning?"

Li Menghan paused for a moment on the other end, her tone still somewhat uncomfortable:

"Play ball?"

"Why aren't you home for Chinese New Year's Eve? What are you doing playing basketball with a bunch of guys?"

Upon hearing this, Dai Yuqian's sense of guilt transformed into a self-protective defense mechanism, and she countered with:

Didn't your sister tell you?

"I go to play ball, not to have fun. Did you think I was going to cheat on my wife?"

"Please, I'm doing this for the student council elections in May! That's for networking, for my future!"

Li Menghan was taken aback, and her tone softened:

"Then...why haven't you messaged me all day?"

Even if you're busy with important business, you should still have time to reply to a message, right?

Dai Yuqian rubbed her throbbing temples, her tone tinged with impatience and barely concealed drunkenness:

"At that time, everyone from the student council was there, and everyone was talking about work and selection."

"How could I possibly have time to text you on my phone? That would be so impolite."

As she spoke, her legs buckled, and she almost lost her balance, letting out a muffled groan.

Li Menghan, with her sharp ears, immediately sensed something was amiss:

"Sissi, what's wrong?"

"Why does your voice sound so weak? And a little slurred?"

Dai Yuqian was startled and quickly made up an excuse:

"No...it's nothing."

"I just walked too much today, and I'm tired from playing ball. My legs are a bit sore, and I couldn't stand steadily when I went up the stairs just now."

"You know, golf is quite physically demanding."

Hearing his girlfriend say she was tired, Li Menghan's doubts and resentment instantly vanished.

Instead, I felt a deep sense of heartache.

"Oh? Are you alright?"

"Since you're tired, hurry home, take a hot shower and get some rest. Don't catch a cold."

Dai Yuqian leaned against the wall, tears welling up in her eyes again.

Hearing Li Menghan's concerned tone and thinking about what happened today, she felt that she was really a bad woman.

"I'm sorry, Menghan."

Her voice softened, tinged with a sob:

"I shouldn't have not informed you today."

"Although your sister reminded me, I was just hoping she would tell you, so I was lazy and didn't send it."

I'm sorry to have worried you.

Li Menghan breathed a sigh of relief on the other end and quickly said:

"It's alright, it's alright, as long as you get home safely."

"I was wrong too; I shouldn't have doubted you."

"We need to trust each other."

Dai Yuqian wiped away her tears and whispered:

"Yeah, it's nothing."

"It's good that the misunderstanding has been cleared up."

"Meng Han, I love you."

"I love you too, Sisi."

The phone hangs up.

Zhangjiazhai, in the courtyard of an old house.

Li Menghan held her phone, exhaled a long breath of white air, and finally felt relieved.

Li Mengli had been standing by watching. Seeing her younger brother finish his call, she leaned over and asked:

"How are you? Are you alright?"

Li Menghan nodded and smiled somewhat shyly:

"Yeah, I was overthinking it."

She said it was because the student council members were all there, and she felt embarrassed to use her phone.

Li Mengli patted her younger brother on the shoulder and said with a smile:

"Really? I already told you."

"I saw the chairman this morning; he was there on official business."

"Besides, I've already warned her. Even if she had two lives, she wouldn't dare to cheat on me."

Li Menghan frowned and defended him:

"Sister, don't talk nonsense."

"Sissi isn't that kind of person; she's very innocent."

Li Mengli shrugged:

"Haha, okay, okay, your Sisi is the most innocent."

"It's good that you know."

Although the misunderstanding was cleared up, Li Menghan felt guilty.

I was so angry with her just now, and I even doubted her.

This must be hurtful to Sisi.

"No, I have to make it up to her."

Li Menghan sat on a small stool and opened the shopping app again.

He clicked on the page he had browsed several times—the latest Apple 17 Pro Max.

Price: 10999 yuan.

He checked his WeChat balance: 2201.50 yuan.

The difference is enormous.

In the past, he would have swiped it away immediately.

But now, he saw the installment option below.

"24 installments...including handling fees, it's only a little over 400 yuan a month."

Li Menghan made a mental calculation.

"It's a little over 400 a month. I'm frugal during the week, and I also deliver two orders on weekends, so I can easily pay it off."

"As long as Sisi is happy, as long as it can make up for my distrust of her, what is this little bit of money?"

With that in mind, Li Menghan no longer hesitated.

Point your finger.

Order placed successfully.

Looking at the shipping notification on the screen, Li Menghan smiled with satisfaction.

He could almost see the look of surprise and emotion on Sisi's face when she received her new phone.

……

At the same time.

On the country road back to Lijia Village.

Inside the black Audi A6.

Li Ze had just finished listening to Lao Yi's entire report.

The old man could hear everything clearly, including the content of Dai Yuqian's phone call in the hallway, through technical means.

After listening, Li Ze's brows furrowed tightly and never relaxed.

After a long silence, he coldly ordered the person on the other end of the phone:

"Okay, I understand."

"Old One, have someone keep an eye on those two."

"Especially that guy named Song Hao, and Dai Yuqian."

"Keep a constant watch on me, and make sure you keep a copy of all the evidence."

"Photos, audio recordings, and videos—you can't leave any out."

The elder's voice was steady and powerful:

"Understood, boss."

"Everything is under control."

I hung up the phone.

Li Ze tossed his phone onto the passenger seat and sighed deeply.

He glanced at his somewhat tired face in the rearview mirror.

"well……"

"That kid Meng Han, it seems his taste hasn't come from mine."

"They've been sold out and they're still helping the seller count the money."

"Simplicity is a good thing, but being too simple-minded is just stupid."

However, Li Ze did not intend to intervene and expose the truth now, since the situation had not yet reached the point of no return.

Besides, how can young people grow up without stumbling and falling a few times?

Anyway, with him backing us up, the sky won't fall.

At this moment, several lights appeared ahead; we had arrived at Lijia Village.

My phone vibrated again.

It was a WeChat voice message from my cousin, Li Guoqing:

"Zezi! Where are you? The food's been reheated three times already! Everyone's here, just waiting for you to start the meal!"

Li Ze put aside his worries and a smile returned to his face.

He pressed the voice message button and replied:

"Brother, don't rush, we're at the village entrance, it'll only take a few minutes!"
