Mi Lai blinked. She really didn't pay much attention to Li Jie.
"What sparring partner?"
Hua Zi spoke up at the right time: "Don't listen to his nonsense. He is not a sparring partner. At the chess academy, he is clearly a coach."
"Oh~"
Milai drew a long final note.
She came to Huazi this time to let Huazi pretend to be her boyfriend. She didn't know that Li Jie was here beforehand.
Now that she saw Li Jie, she suddenly had a new idea.
Of course Mi Lai knows who Huazi is. Although she and Lu Tao are no longer boyfriend and girlfriend, at least they used to be.
And Hua Zi is the kind of person who is particularly loyal.
Even if he had prepared a reason, Milai was not very sure about making this happen.
On the contrary, on the 'Qiangzi' side, if we can discuss it with 'Qiangzi's' girlfriend in advance, the chances are relatively high.
The reason why Mi Lai asked Huazi or Li Jie to pretend to be her boyfriend was just to make Lu Tao angry.
Of course, she was just venting her anger and had no plans to get back together with Lu Tao.
Lu Tao disappointed her so much.
It is difficult to recover the water that is covered with water, and it is difficult to put a broken mirror back into shape again.
She and Lu Tao will never go back to the past.
In the following time, the three of them chatted for a while and talked about each other's current situation.
After a while, seeing that Mi Lai still didn't explain his intention, Hua Zi couldn't help but ask.
"By the way, Mi Lai, why are you here to see me this time?"
Mi Lai smiled: "It's nothing, I just want you to pretend to be my boyfriend."
She didn't mean to hide anything, and frankly stated the true purpose of her trip.
"What?"
Hua Zi was shocked when he heard this and almost spit out the beer in his mouth.
"Cough! Cough!"
"You...are you kidding me?"
Mi Lai looked at Hua Zi calmly, shook his head and said.
"I'm not joking, I'm serious."
After saying this, she added another sentence.
"Of course, it's just pretending."
"no!"
Hua Zi rejected the proposal without even thinking about it.
"Lu Tao and I are brothers, and you are his ex-girlfriend. This matter cannot be decided, even if it is pretending."
Don’t bully your brother’s wife, not even your ex-wife!
Mi Lai rolled her eyes at him: "If it doesn't work, forget it."
Immediately afterwards, she turned her eyes and looked at Li Jie aside.
"Don't!"
However, before she could speak, Li Jie raised his hand to interrupt her speech.
"Mi Lai, I'm a family man, I won't do this kind of thing."
In Li Jie's view, pretending to be a boyfriend is a very childish behavior.
Maybe even Mi Lai herself didn't realize that she still hadn't completely let go of Lu Tao subconsciously.
If she really let go of this relationship, she wouldn't fight to the death with Lu Tao.
If she really comes out, it would be best if we become strangers.
"Qiangzi, just help me!"
Seeing that Li Jie didn't give him a chance, Mi Lai quickly clasped his hands together and acted coquettishly.
I have to say that Milai is very good-looking and has a soft and waxy voice. Most men may not be able to withstand such a coquettish act from her.
But Li Jie is no ordinary man.
Acting like a baby is ineffective for him.
"Stop acting like a baby, it's useless."
Li Jie rolled his eyes: "Actually, if you want to punish Lu Tao, you can find another way."
Originally, Li Jie did not intend to intervene in the fight between Milai and Lu Tao, but in order to divert Milai's attention, he did not mind coming up with an idea.
Anyway, it doesn’t take much brain cells, it’s something that can be done easily.
"I'm not doing it for Lu Tao!"
Mi Lai snorted softly and denied Li Jie's suspicion, but her expectant eyes betrayed her.
"hehe."
Li Jie smiled slightly and didn't bother to point out Mi Lai's thoughts.
As a woman, duplicity is engraved in our DNA.
"Mi Lai, have you ever gotten to know Xu Zhisen?"
"I've heard a little bit about it."
Mi Lai nodded. The real estate industry was not big in the first place. Xu Zhisen was a little dragon across the river, so Mi Lai naturally heard a few words from her father.
"If you have time, you can go and meet him. You can definitely cooperate with him in dealing with Lu Tao."
"ah?"
Hearing this, Milai couldn't help but widen his eyes.
Isn’t Xu Zhisen Lu Tao’s biological father?
Cooperate with him and deal with Lu Tao together?
Isn't this a joke?
Similarly, Hua Zi on the side was also full of shock and asked me to deal with his son. If this was not said by 'Qiangzi', he would definitely refute it on the spot.
Seeing the surprised look of the two people, Li Jie smiled and shook his head.
"You don't think the relationship between father and son is so deep, do you?"
"You all know Lu Tao. Do you think that with his character, he will easily accept Xu Zhisen?"
When the two of them heard this, they both shook their heads.
They knew very well how arrogant Lu Tao was.
Xu Zhisen abandoned his wife and children back then, which was not an honest thing to do. Although he is a billionaire now, Lu Tao's current family is not bad either.
After all, he is also a second-generation official.
Moreover, Lu Tao's adoptive father and Lu Tao's mother only have one child like Lu Tao.
Li Jie continued: "You may not know much about Xu Zhisen. He is actually a relatively cold-blooded person."
Hearing the word 'cold-blooded', Hua Zi didn't express anything, but Mi Lai's expression changed somewhat.
Cold-blooded is not a compliment.
"Of course, cold-blooded is cold-blooded. One thing is undeniable. Xu Zhisen's personal ability is very strong."
"And he's also very confident."
"Xu Zhisen must be aware that Lu Tao is disgusted with him."
"Some time ago, there was a lot of friction between you and Lu Tao, Mi Lai. It is impossible to hide this from Xu Zhisen."
"But did he interfere?"
"Obviously not, he chose to sit on the sidelines."
"And this is probably within his plan."
"You all know very well that Lu Tao cannot give up his dream, but there is a price to pay for realizing the dream."
"Lu Tao's personal ability alone is definitely not enough to achieve it."
Hearing this, Hua Zi couldn't help but nodded, and he vaguely understood something.
Xu Zhisen is sharpening Lu Tao.
Or to put it another way, Xu Zhisen is trying to survive.
Lu Tao happens to be that eagle.
As we all know, even a powerful eagle cannot survive an eagle man.
As for Mi Lai, although she thought Li Jie was right, she still felt that it was a bit too straightforward.
What does it mean that personal ability alone is not enough to achieve?
It sounds a little uncomfortable.
In the final analysis, Mi Lai still has feelings for Lu Tao. How can he let go of his relationship for several years?
On one side, Li Jie took his time to analyze Xu Zhisen. On the other side, Lu Tao faced the darkest moment in his life.
