Chapter 1300 Success and Fame
Chapter 1300 Success and Fame
Du Yunxi's eyes were as cold as ice as she stared at the other person mercilessly, as if she could penetrate the person's soul.
The corners of her mouth slightly raised, revealing a faint sneer, and she said in a gentle but majestic voice: "You are not worthy of mentioning Manman! She... doesn't want to see this face of yours!"
This sentence was like a thunderclap, suddenly exploding in the originally quiet air, causing the surrounding atmosphere to freeze instantly.
The determination contained in it cannot be questioned or refuted.
Du Yunxi shook her head gently and couldn't help but sigh inwardly.
In fact, even she herself didn't know where the elusive Manman was now.
However, facing this man who disgusted her, she could not show any weakness or hesitation.
Li Haitao was stunned by the scolding. He was a very successful and capable person in the entertainment industry.
On weekdays, he can chat and laugh with all kinds of celebrities, and can be said to be a powerful figure in the circle.
But at this moment, he stood in front of Du Yunxi, like a paper tiger whose disguise had been punctured, and seemed extremely at a loss.
Perhaps it was because the warm and harmonious atmosphere of the Nan family formed such a sharp contrast with the bright lights, bustle and noise of the entertainment industry.
Especially when he was really standing face to face with his wife's best friend, whose words were so sharp that they seemed to pierce people's hearts and showed no mercy at all, the calmness and composure that had been hidden deep in his heart retreated rapidly at an astonishing speed like the surging tide, and disappeared completely and without a trace in the blink of an eye.
All those bits and pieces of the past that were buried deep in my memory now seemed to be summoned by some mysterious force and came rushing back like a flood.
Li Haitao only felt a wave of biting chills rising involuntarily in his heart. The chill flowed through his blood to every corner of his body, making him shiver uncontrollably.
As for Du Yunxi, for some reason, the fear deep in his heart seemed to be innate, deeply rooted in his soul, and difficult to eradicate no matter what.
Something unexpected happened - he, who used to be eloquent and eloquent, couldn't even speak smoothly at this moment! It was as if an invisible hand had tightly grasped his throat, making it difficult for him to make a clear and fluent sound.
The mouth that once spoke witty words now seemed to have turned into a sealed box that could not be opened.
I saw his lips trembling slightly and slowly opening, as if he was trying to squeeze out some words.
However, what came from the depth of his throat were only a few dry gurgling sounds like a dried-up spring.
The voice was low and hoarse, intermittent, as if it would break off at any time.
It sounds both heartbreaking and a bit funny and weird.
Time passed minute by minute, and after a long time, he finally managed to squeeze out a few broken words from between his teeth with great difficulty, as if he was carrying a heavy burden:
"Yun Xi, you must believe me! I swear to you that I will prove my sincerity with practical actions. No matter how rough and bumpy the road ahead is, I will keep going forward unswervingly, step by step, and slowly show you my sincerity and efforts without reservation."
Li Haitao's eyes were sincere and determined, and he clenched his fists tightly, as if he was cheering himself up.
"For so many years, I have been wandering alone, experiencing the vicissitudes of life and the warmth and coldness of life. However, even in a foreign country, every time when it is late at night, deep in my heart, I miss them all the time. That concern is like an invisible thread, tugging at my heart and making me unable to let it go. Of course, there is also Yi Feng, that smart and lovable child, who is also my eternal concern."
Having said that, Li Haitao couldn't help but turn his head to look at Nan Yifeng who was standing beside him, his eyes revealing a complex emotion of kindness and guilt.
"In fact, I had already achieved success and fame within a few years of leaving. At that time, I had a successful career, fame and fortune, and it can be said that I was in great glory, but I was not satisfied. Just when everyone thought I would return home in glory, I made an unexpected decision - to continue to stay outside and make a living. True success lies not only in the accumulation of material things, but also in the growth and training of the soul."
"So, over the years, I have been constantly challenging myself and breaking through my limits, hoping to return to you as a more mature, stable and trustworthy person."
Li Haitao took a deep breath and exhaled slowly, as if he wanted to release all the emotions that had been suppressed in his heart for a long time.
"Haha, that sounds nice." Du Yunxi sneered.
Li Haitao didn't dare to speak, because he felt that he was too ashamed to face the mother and son, and he couldn't face all the things that I had ruthlessly let down...
"well,"
He sighed deeply, as if he was carrying a heavy burden in his heart, and said slowly:
"Alas, all this is my fault! Normally, I am really not good at using words to express my innermost thoughts and feelings, and I don't communicate with her."
"But, you know, my personality is like this, particularly dull and introverted, as silent as a pool of stagnant water, and it's hard to stir up the slightest ripple. Plus, I'm a tongue-tied person, it's like boiling dumplings in a teapot - there's something to say but I can't get it out! I'm really worried that I'll offend her with my poor words and make her unhappy... that's why we're like this."
"Yun Xi, I earnestly ask you not to be angry! There is one more thing I want to ask you. Do you know where she is now? If you know, please tell me, okay? I beg you!"
As he spoke, Li Haitao's eyes revealed a hint of pleading and expectation, and his hands were unconsciously clenched together, making him look a little uneasy.
He looked around. This familiar home seemed a little strange due to the passage of time. The paintings on the wall and the ornaments on the table seemed to be silently telling stories of the past, and he was like an outsider forgotten by time.
Du Yunxi looked at him like this, and a complex emotion surged in her heart. Was it pity or resentment? She herself couldn't tell.
However, there seemed to be a subtle softening in those originally cold eyes, but his words were still unforgiving:
"Humph, it's good that you know you're not good at talking. Don't show off in front of me in the future. As for Manman...if I knew, I would tell her your 'feelings'. As for whether she is willing to see you or not, that is not something I can control."
"Yun Xi..."
