Bai Jiangyu smiled slightly. She knew that Leng Li would definitely be able to sense it, and there was no need to beat around the bush when talking to a smart person, so she got straight to the point and said:

"Someone told me something very interesting a few days ago. They said you have been looking for a woman. Have you found her?"

Leng Li seemed to have anticipated what Bai Jiangyu was going to ask, so he took a sip of wine without changing his expression and said:
"I didn't find this person, but I've given up."

Bai Jiangyu raised his eyebrows and asked:
"why?"

"Because I have spent too much time and energy, it is God's will that I can't find a lifesaver. At least I won't feel guilty about it."

Leng Li said indifferently.

"Help someone?"

"Yes, otherwise why would I spend so much time looking for it."

He said coldly and bluntly.

"Can you tell me? Maybe I can help."

Bai Jiangyu still wanted to figure out what happened.

"Originally, family disgrace should not be made public, but since you are not an outsider, I will tell you the truth. However, my parents don't know about this, so I hope you won't mention it in front of them in the future."

Leng Li put down the wine glasses in his hands and said seriously.

"of course."

Bai Jiangyu was now becoming more and more curious. There really was a hidden story that she didn't know about.

"You should have heard that my two brothers and I are not born from the same mother, right?"

Leng Li started with this question.

Bai Jiangyu nodded. She had heard her mother talk about this before.

“My biological mother was my father’s second wife. She married my father after his first wife died.

But the side branch of the Leng family tried to sow discord, saying that my two brothers' mother was angered to death by my mother, and that the reason my mother was able to marry into the Leng family so quickly was because she was pregnant with me, so she was able to marry into the Leng family because of her son.

So ever since I can remember, my two brothers have been very unfriendly to me, and would even hurt me secretly. The worst time was when they pushed me down the stairs, and my father, who had returned home temporarily, saw it.

He was very angry, so he hung up the two brothers and beat them, then asked them why they bullied me. That’s when I realized how much they hated me.”

Leng Li said this with a sarcastic smile. What he said was true and not just nonsense. He also lifted up his hair, revealing the right side of his forehead, allowing Bai Jiangyu to see his old scar.

Bai Jiangyu also saw it clearly. There was indeed a shallow scar on Leng Li's forehead. Although it had healed and was no different from the skin next to it, it was still clearly visible if you looked closely.

Bai Jiangyu frowned and said:

"and then?"

"After my father found out what happened, he was very angry and explained to them seriously that I was born in the second year after he married my mother and that there was no such thing as being unfaithful to their mother. He also punished them and separated me from them completely.

For a long time afterwards, the three of us brothers were strangers living under the same roof. My mother was very cold to them. After all, no mother would be nice to someone who hurt her children. But the two of them hated me and my mother because of this. Even though they knew they were wrong, they still hated me. ”

After listening to this, Bai Jiangyu sighed and said:

"They are just jealous of you. They are jealous that you have your mother's care, that you have taken away your father's attention, and that your father protects you."

“Yes, you are right. It took me a long time to figure it out, but the conflict between us is irreconcilable.

The year I graduated from high school, we were left alone after a reunion with classmates and were hit from behind with a club. I was dazed and heard the person who knocked me out said he would disfigure me and cut off my arms to see how I could be an heir after becoming disabled.

Bai Jiangyu's eyes flashed, and he interrupted:
"Your brothers did this?"

“I don’t know, but it’s definitely related to them, but I didn’t have any evidence at the time.

Just when I was in despair, I heard a woman shouting and saying that she had called the police. The group of people were frightened and only had time to step on me before running away.

I was still in shock and my consciousness was a little fuzzy. I only remember a girl with long hair rushing over to me, helping me up and asking if I was okay.

After a while, the patrol police came over. They noticed that I smelled of alcohol and thought I was drunk and had a fight with someone. Only I knew what I had experienced, but I didn't deny it. I just said that I was drunk and had a conflict with a passing thug, but it was nothing serious.

They saw that there was nothing wrong with me, just a little dizzy. They thought I was still drunk so they asked me a few simple questions and treated it as a normal drunken behavior. They called a taxi for me and sent me back.

When I was fully awake the next day, I went to look for the girl who called the police, but unfortunately she was gone. I even asked the patrol police about this, but they only said that someone ran over and shouted at them, saying that there was a fight up ahead, and they did not leave any contact information.

Although the other party may have just done it casually, it was a life-saving grace to me, so I have been looking for him secretly.

I couldn't say that the other person was my benefactor because I was afraid that the person who attacked me would find her first and take revenge on her, so I blurred the relationship with her, which led to some people misunderstanding me, including my mother, who thought I was looking for a girl I fell in love with at first sight. "

Leng Li said calmly that he had prepared all these things long ago. The reason of looking for a nameless savior was sufficient and specific, and it would not be exposed.

Bai Jiangyu felt much more relaxed after listening to Leng Li's explanation. The other party was willing to reveal his own scars and explain, which proved that he still had her in his heart and valued her feelings. At least Leng Li's attitude made her very satisfied.

"However, my mother's misunderstanding also reminded me that the person I have been looking for for so long may no longer be in the city. It is not appropriate for me to continue looking aimlessly, as it may easily cause misunderstandings from others.

So before I contacted you, I had already ordered my men to stop looking for anyone. This matter has come to an end for me. I have done what I could both morally and logically.

If I really meet this person one day in the future, I will still repay her, but it all depends on God’s arrangement.”

Bai Jiangyu smiled and said:

"Why didn't you tell me these things before?"

"How can I tell you this terrible thing? After all, it is a family scandal. But now it seems that I should have told you earlier to avoid your misunderstanding.

Fortunately, you asked me directly, otherwise there would be a rift between us. You misunderstood that I had another woman in my heart, and I misunderstood that you were being unreasonable. "

Leng Li teased.

Bai Jiangyu chuckled. She had really thought about it before, so she changed the subject awkwardly:
"Did you find out who attacked you?"

"It should be my two elder brothers. At that time, their methods were still immature. They just bribed ordinary thugs. But when they saw that they failed, they never took action again and learned to lie dormant." (End of this chapter)
