EBE Chapter 19 truly led to imprisonment.
Chapter 19 truly led to imprisonment.
After all, it has always eaten raw, bloody meat, and the smell of blood further arouses its innate desire to tear and bite.
But since it was Jiang Liwu who fed him, Baer didn't want to miss out.
Wei Xifeng took out his phone and secretly snapped a picture of Jiang Liwu, who was focused on grilling meat for him.
After thinking for a while, he took a screenshot of a part of the photo and updated his WeChat Moments, which had been inactive for many years.
It was accompanied by the text: The best barbecue in the world.
The picture he posted only showed Jiang Liwu's hand; the rest of the picture showed a dazzling array of food.
Five people doing different things at the same time received a notification sound.
Like a stone thrown into a quiet lake, the splashing water creates countless ripples that are hard to ignore.
I paused what I was doing and clicked on it.
There seemed to be nothing special about it, but they could all sense that Wei Xifeng was acting strangely. They couldn't quite understand it, but they still gave Wei Xifeng a thumbs up.
Seeing that there were no likes left out, Wei Xifeng's lips curled up again.
……
Wei Xifeng flipped through the hundreds of photos taken by Uncle Wang. Many of the shots were actually repeated over and over, with only subtle changes in facial expressions, movements, and lighting. But he liked every single one of them, except for the one with Baal in the background.
However, Uncle Wang quite liked it. He happened to be flipping through the section on Baal, and one of the pictures showed Baal and Wei Xifeng vying for favor, each looking at the other with disdain.
They look like two kindergarten children after a fight.
Uncle Wang felt that Wei Xifeng now had the breath of a living person.
All of this is because of Jiang Liwu's appearance.
"Develop all the photos, and enlarge this one to make a frame," Wei Xifeng said, pointing to the photo of someone making a heart shape with their hands.
Uncle Wang: "Okay."
"Get out of my way and let me out!"
A commotion coming from not far away caught the attention of Wei Xifeng and Uncle Wang.
Wei Xifeng frowned and walked over, with Uncle Wang following behind.
Qiao Yiran was seen confronting her bodyguard, her face flushed with anger, which made her delicate and beautiful face even more striking.
Wei Xifeng's gaze fell on her face, and his eyes paused for a moment.
Qiao Yiran caught a glimpse of the man's figure out of the corner of her eye, and the next second she rushed towards the bodyguards, "Let me through."
The bodyguard instinctively blocked her way, but perhaps due to inertia or something else, Qiao Yiran bounced back after hitting their arms, staggering and falling backward.
The bodyguards were taken aback. They had only stopped Qiao Yiran; they hadn't pushed her.
Seeing that Qiao Yiran was about to fall, Wei Xifeng grabbed her shoulder and firmly steadied her.
The next second, he gripped Qiao Yiran's wrist tightly, his narrow eyebrows darkening, his eyes like cold stars, "What are you doing now?"
Qiao Yiran bit her lip, looked up and met Wei Xifeng's eyes, her face full of stubbornness, "I want to go out."
"Go out? Where to? Do you have somewhere to go?"
"Is this a place you can come and go as you please?" Wei Xifeng stared at Qiao Yiran with a cold and sinister look. "Get out? Don't even think about it." With that, he coldly and forcefully shook off Qiao Yiran's hand.
Qiao Yiran's eyes immediately reddened, and her voice trembled with grievance, "Why can't I go out? I'm not a prisoner."
Qiao Yiran breathed a sigh of relief at Wei Xifeng's usual forceful attitude, and her panic and anxiety eased considerably.
"Because you have no right to say no."
Jiang Liwu had just arrived when she heard Wei Xifeng talking about restricting Qiao Yiran's personal freedom.
She was instantly overwhelmed. No, Wei Xifeng had really followed in his father's footsteps and embarked on the path of imprisonment.
No wonder Qiao Yiran came up to her and said those things.
Does she feel that Wei Xifeng will imprison her as well?
"Xiao Feng, repeat what you just said." Jiang Liwu approached with a forced smile.
Qiao Yiran felt a surge of unease and a sense of crisis when she saw Jiang Liwu's discomfort. She instinctively looked at Wei Xifeng and saw that Wei Xifeng, who had been paying attention to her, now only had eyes for Jiang Liwu. She immediately gripped the fabric of her dress tightly with her hand.
Wei Xifeng instinctively wanted to obediently repeat what he had just said, but he sensed a dangerous aura emanating from Jiang Liwu, and his intuition told him that he couldn't say it.
"Who gave you permission to restrict other people's personal freedom?" Jiang Liwu emphasized the words slightly, squinting as she approached, giving Wei Xifeng no chance to avoid the question.
Wei Xifeng quickly said, "I didn't."
Jiang Liwu was taken aback by his completely unashamed attitude. "Didn't you just tell her not to leave?"
Wei Xifeng admitted to this, "Yes."
Jiang Liwu: "This is it."
Wei Xifeng's eyelashes drooped slightly, but he still didn't feel that he was restricting Qiao Yiran's freedom in any way.
Jiang Liwu deciphered the underlying meaning behind his expression and couldn't help but feel puzzled.
Before she could figure things out, she was interrupted by Qiao Yiran's raised voice, "I need to go to the hospital to visit my mother. The doctor called and said that my mother's condition has been very bad these past few days. I haven't seen her for a long time, and they want me to go." Qiao Yiran shed tears in front of Wei Xifeng, looking delicate and pitiful, her stubbornness and perseverance revealing a pleading vulnerability that would make anyone feel sorry for her.
Qiao Yiran knew that Wei Xifeng's attitude would soften every time she mentioned her mother.
As expected, Wei Xifeng's eyes became unreadable upon hearing the word "mother".
Seeing this, Jiang Liwu knew he was thinking of Wei's mother, so she reached out and covered Wei Xifeng's hand to comfort him, "Let her go."
The warmth transmitted through his hands filled Wei Xifeng with longing and desire, and he obediently nodded, "Okay."
Even though Wei Xifeng had agreed to let her go, Qiao Yiran couldn't be happy. She didn't want her to be able to leave because of Jiang Liwu.
"Didn't you hear me? Wei Xifeng agreed to let me out. Now get out of the way!" Qiao Yiran's tone was somewhat aggressive.
The bodyguards exchanged glances and then stepped aside.
“If you don’t come back before dark, I’ll stop paying your mother’s medical bills.”
Wei Xifeng's cold and ruthless voice rang out from behind her, and Qiao Yiran stiffened and stopped in her tracks.
She turned around in a panic, "Don't stop my mother's medical expenses, my mother will die."
Wei Xifeng remained unmoved, saying, "What does your mother's life or death have to do with me?"
Qiao Yiran felt a chill run through her body, as if she had fallen into an ice cellar.
Her mother's situation had absolutely nothing to do with Wei Xifeng. In fact, if it weren't for Wei Xifeng, she wouldn't have been able to afford the millions of yuan in medical expenses, and her mother would definitely not be alive today.
It's fair to say that her mother's current life and time were bought with money.
“But she is my mother…” Shouldn’t Wei Xifeng care about her mother as well if he likes her? Meeting Wei Xifeng’s cold and cruel gaze, Qiao Yiran suddenly couldn’t continue.
