Yin Tao knew the reason why Liang Yi and Cheng Fei got together, so Yin Tao wasn’t sure if Cheng Fei really had feelings for Liang Yi. At the very least, Cheng Fei had been forced to do so in the beginning.
“I will leave with my brother. I don’t care how capable Liang Yi is. I will bring my brother to a brand new environment and start a new life.”
Cheng Yao didn’t look like she was joking at all.
Yin Tao said to her worriedly, “Yaoyao, it’s best if you don’t say these things often, especially in front of Mr Liang. Can you remember not to do it?”
Cheng Yao nodded. Although she relied on Liang Yi a lot in life, she still felt a little estranged from him. After all, Liang Yi did not treat her and her brother very well at the beginning.
“Sister Xiaotao, is Liang Yi doing something bad?”
Hearing Cheng Yao’s words, Yin Tao looked at her in surprise and probed, “Yaoyao, why do you ask?”
Cheng Yao shook her head gently and explained, “I’m not sure cither, but I once heard my brother quarrel with him and say that he always did risky things.”
Yin Tao really wanted to probe further, but when she saw that Cheng Yao completely trusted her, she didn’t know what to say.
“Yaoyao, the only thing you have to do now is study hard. Everything else has nothing to do with you. You don’t have to take it to heart, understand?”
Although Yin Tao wanted to learn more about Liang Yi through Cheng Yao, she couldn’t bear to involve her when she saw that Cheng Yao didn’t know everything.
Cheng Yao nodded and opened the drawer of the desk. “Sister Xiaotao, I drew this painting after I overheard Liang Yi’s phone conversation.”
Yin Tao took Cheng Yao’s painting and carefully examined it, but she didn’t find anything strange. There was only a very lush locust tree and some very common scenery beside it.
“Is this a landscape painting?” Yin Tao didn’t understand what Cheng Yao meant.
“It should be a place. Liang Yi has been looking for this place, but there are too many scenic spots like this in City A.” Cheng Yao had heard Liang Yi and his subordinates mention this place many times. He seemed to be looking for something, but their searches had been in vain.
“Yaoyao, you shouldn’t be too concerned about these things…” Hearing Cheng Yao’s words, Yin Tao felt a little uneasy.
What if Liang Yi saw this painting? Yin Tao was worried that Cheng Yao’s actions would cause unnecessary trouble for her and Cheng Fei.
“I’m not concerned about these things. Liang Yi always makes my brother unhappy. I just want to find out what he’s doing, so I paid attention to what he did and said.”
Cheng Yao pouted aggrievedly. In her opinion, nothing was more important than Cheng Fei’s feelings. Moreover, Liang Yi was a little fierce. Cheng Yao was worried that her brother would be implicated because of Liang Yi’s bad behavior.
“Leave this painting to me. Focus on your studies. I’ll pay more attention to the matter between Liang Yi and your brother.” Yin Tao really didn’t want Cheng Yao to be involved. Just as she folded the drawing and put it in her pocket, Cheng Fei knocked on the door and walked in with a plate of fruits.
“What are you talking about? Come and eat some fruit.”
Cheng Fei invited them to eat fruits. Cheng Yao and Yin Tao acted very naturally, and the matter of the painting was well covered up.
Feng Jing and Yin Tao spent a long time at Cheng Fei’s house. If they hadn’t insisted on leaving, Cheng Fei would have asked them to stay the night.
On the way back, Yin Tao told Feng Jing about Cheng Yao’s painting. Feng Jing was also very surprised that Liang Yi was so interested in such an ordinary looking place.
“Brother Feng, why do you think Liang Yi wants to find this place?” Yin Tao looked at the locust tree in the painting and felt that even she knew many places like this.
“He’s probably looking for something. Otherwise, there shouldn’t be anyone living in such a place.”
Yin Tao took a closer look at the surroundings of the locust tree. It indeed didn’t look like it was inhabited.
“Brother Feng, did you find out anything from Liang Yi?” Yin Tao was a little curious about what Feng Jing uncovered. He had looked depressed the entire night. Although Yin Tao didn’t say anything, she was actually very worried.
“There’s almost nothing. Liang Yi is very good at dealing with people. He can be very tight-lipped.” Feng Jing was actually prepared to return empty-handed. After all, if Liang Yi was really an easy person to deal with, he would have been able to find out about him..
