Chapter 562: Chapter 562: My Affairs Are None of Your Concern
Tang Li hadn’t expected to encounter Han Jifeng in Shangbu, let alone bump into him face-to-face in such an unavoidable way.
Shutting the car door, she didn’t head towards the entrance of the municipal government building, but walked in the other direction.
— Planning to wait until Han Jifeng had left before returning.
Walking for about five minutes, Tang Li stopped by the roadside.
Checking the time, it was 3:12 PM.
Tang Li stayed in place for ten minutes, then walked back. Han Jifeng was no longer at the entrance of the municipal government. She walked straight past, reached the guard room, and was about to ask a question when someone appeared beside her, speaking before her: "Are you here looking for someone?"
To Tang Li, Han Jifeng’s voice wasn’t unfamiliar at all.
After all, they had lived under the same roof in their previous lives.
Without waiting for Tang Li to respond, Han Jifeng turned his head to the guard: "No need to register, I’ll take her in."
The guard recognized Han Jifeng’s identity as the director of the Judicial Administration Bureau from the Capital, who had a meeting there that morning. Seeing Han Jifeng, who had originally left but now reappeared, clearly familiar with this female visitor, he didn’t stop them and immediately allowed them through.
Tang Li didn’t go in but turned and walked out.
Next to the gate channel, Han Jifeng stood with his hands in his pockets, watching her unrelenting back, then took out his car keys.
Tang Li no longer hoped that Director Ren was in the municipal government building.
She planned to go to the Public Security Department tomorrow.
Then, she would ask around to see if she could get Director Ren’s home address.
If all else failed, she would have to return to the Capital first.
While crossing the street, a sedan blocked her way.
Just like that time at the school gate.
Seeing Han Jifeng inside the car, Tang Li simply turned and walked in the opposite direction, only to find the sedan slowly following her.
Not wanting to be followed to the hotel, Tang Li had to stop.
She walked over and knocked on the window.
When the window was lowered, Tang Li spoke first: "Looking for someone is my business, it has nothing to do with you, so stop following me."
Han Jifeng’s gaze fell on her: "You called me a couple of days ago..."
"At that time, I was at the Lai Family." Tang Li said truthfully, not avoiding his eyes: "Lai Shengxia told me that as a counterfeit product, I’d never make it, and that you only wanted to marry me because I resembled her. My eldest sister is always too confident, so, I had to call to confirm. You said you wanted to make amends; that call was the compensation, now we are even."
Having said that, she walked on.
Han Jifeng suddenly said: "Are you here in Shangbu looking for Ren Zhengxiong?"
"..." Tang Li’s fingers slowly clenched the strap of her bag.
It wasn’t surprising he knew, since Han Jifeng could dream of past lives, he likely remembered how she was escorted away at that banquet because afterwards, it was Han Jifeng who had gone to the lounge to find her, encountering Ren Zhengxiong in the process.
"He didn’t come to the municipal government today." Han Jifeng continued: "If you want to meet him, I can—"
"No need."
Tang Li cut him off.
"This is my matter, you don’t need to meddle."
With that, Tang Li didn’t linger.
Han Jifeng watched her figure disappear into the distance, this time not following her.
Tang Li returned to the hotel; by then it was already dark.
After dinner, her cellphone vibrated on the bed.
Tang Li saw the caller ID was Song Baiyan; after picking up, she stayed silent, listening to the caring voice from the other end, her lips slightly curving: "I just wanted to hear your voice first."
