Chapter 692 - 292: Took Away Half
"Got it, got it, don’t you have the key? Just come find me anytime."
Li Yang’s response delighted Liu Ruyi, otherwise she was ready to shamelessly stay over.
After closing the door, Li Yang tossed his changed clothes into the washing machine, and then rummaged through his things at home.
There weren’t many things left here; the wine he had Liu Ruyi buy was stored in a warehouse and wasn’t going to be moved to his living place.
That was goods worth billions, and now with Moutai prices rising, an ordinary Feitian is hard to find on the market for less than 2,500, unless you jump on a major online platform to snag one for 1,499.
As for the stock he had, it was mostly Zodiac Sheep Moutai, which was very cheap before because no one in the market wanted it.
Now the price has climbed to over eight thousand per bottle.
In the coming years, it will continue to rise, reaching around fifty to sixty thousand per bottle.
Due to his sweep, the scarcity of Sheep Moutai on the market has reached a new height; either people are unwilling to speculate, or it will be speculated to even higher prices.
Either way, Li Yang can accept it, as he didn’t do it as something very important.
Jewelry and such were already taken back last time, as Jiang Banxia doesn’t like wearing those things herself, and Li Yang is even less interested.
The whole house only had some clothes left, and some documents in the safe.
These are to be taken back.
After a quick look and estimating the situation, Li Yang felt it wouldn’t be hard to take them back; he didn’t even need to hire someone to pack them, he could do it himself.
The car could fit everything.
Just then, Song Yu’s call came through.
"Li Yang, I’m at the gate of your community."
"I’ll open the door right away, just press my apartment number."
"What is it?"
"1504"
"Alright."
Soon enough, the intercom in Li Yang’s room rang, and he pressed the door release button.
After that, Li Yang took the elevator to the first floor to wait for Song Yu.
From a distance, Li Yang saw Song Yu’s figure, her hands clasped in front of her, more nervous than ever before.
Li Yang stood at the entrance waiting, as Song Yu walked closer and her pace slowed.
When they were less than five meters apart, Li Yang finally spoke up: "Sister Song, what’s going on? It’s only a hundred meters, and I’ve been waiting for you for almost ten minutes."
"Um, um... I’m coming!"
Song Yu immediately quickened her pace and walked up to Li Yang.
Then she lowered her head, not daring to meet Li Yang’s gaze.
Even after entering the elevator, Song Yu stood the same way, hands in front, completely unsure of what to do.
Until she awkwardly followed Li Yang into the room, and the door closed.
Li Yang asked, "Sister Song, what’s wrong? Why are you so nervous?"
Song Yu stammered, "Should I... should I take a shower first?"
"Huh?"
"Well... I showered before coming out, but I just worry..."
Li Yang led Song Yu to sit on the sofa and said, "Sister Song, you can’t be serious, right? I always thought you were joking."
Song Yu looked up at Li Yang in confusion.
Joking?
Who would joke about something like this?
She was nervous to death on the way over because she didn’t have the courage to do anything with Li Yang when he was sober.
Now Li Yang said it was a joke, instantly shattering her last bit of stubbornness inside.
"Oh, alright then."
She said this with a sense of relief.
Without the previous hesitation and embarrassment, she returned to her former state.
"It’s all that little bitch Liu Ruyi’s fault, I thought you were going to do something to me. After all, you know I rely on you to get by, and if you have any requests, I certainly can’t refuse, so... just pretend this didn’t happen..."
"Haha, but Sister Song looked pretty cute just now."
"Hmm? Really?"
"Totally."
As Li Yang spoke, he sat next to Song Yu.
Song Yu looked at him, unsure of what to say.
She didn’t know if using an excuse to lighten the atmosphere was right or wrong.
Though she agreed readily when Liu Ruyi asked her, in reality, she didn’t dare bring such a thing up with Li Yang, only joking occasionally at most.
After the tension was eased, her heart felt a bit empty again.
She asked, "Then why did you wait for me to come over instead of calling me to go back midway?"
"Uh... mainly because Ruyi looked really serious, so I didn’t have the heart to refuse. Besides, she just left, and I figured you’d be almost here; kind of embarrassing to send you back now, at least I should offer you some water, right?"
"Oh oh oh, Liu Ruyi again!" Song Yu said through gritted teeth.
Then she looked at Li Yang, "Later, help me play a trick on her, I can’t let that little bitch make a fool of me; I want to mess with her too!"
"How do I help?"
"Just agree, then follow whatever I say later."
"Alright, alright, but let’s have some water first, then we can chat about some things."
Li Yang got up and poured Song Yu a glass of water, then sat back down again.
This evening is indeed a rare chance; after all, he’ll start being busy tomorrow, and apart from inviting them for food, there’s no other time.
After taking a sip of water, Song Yu asked, "Is it work-related? Starry Escape Room doesn’t make much money, but if there’s anything else you need, I can give you all that’s in my hands."
In her opinion, the most likely thing is that Li Yang is short on money.
Fortunately, although she’s made quite a bit, aside from buying a villa, she hasn’t bought anything else and hasn’t spent much of her money.
