All Chapters of The Flaming Lips: Chapter 211 - Chapter 220

Initially, I left with Harley Gunther. Besides traveling around the world, Stan Wallace also sought out people under Harley Gunther, but only Dazai was in the know. Although that younger brother was timid, he surprisingly kept his mouth shut, not revealing a single truth.Over the years, Dazai never broke off contact with Harley Gunther. At first, he would bring news of Stan Wallace every now and then, but as time passed, the intervals grew longer—sometimes it was a month or two, sometimes half a year.One time, Stan Wallace, drunk, went to find him. Dazai secretly recorded a video, probably with his phone in his pocket. The entire video had no visuals, just one sentence after a long silence: "Gloria Kit, you're too cruel."Every time Dazai sent a message, Harley Gunther would mute the video beforehand. The return date was uncertain, and he feared I would be upset by what I heard. But that day was special; he was in a daze himself and played the recording abruptly.When the voice p

The rain was getting heavier, the kind that's most vexing during this season. It lingered, slowly and persistently, exuding a damp, cold air that seemed to seep into one's bones through the pores, causing a shiver that ran deep."Miss, do you need help?""Miss...""Miss? What's wrong? Do you have a headache?"I was jolted back to reality as someone pushed my shoulder. I removed my hands from my ears and shook my head, eyes still closed. "No, no pain. I'm fine."The girl looked at me with concern, "Are you really okay?"I tried to appear like someone just seeking shelter from the rain, but it seemed I still looked like a person in distress to others. I curled my lips and stood up, tugging at my skirt, now mixed with mud. I glanced towards the second-floor window before nodding. "I'm fine, sorry if I disturbed you. I'll be on my way.""No, no, I came to ask if you're looking for someone," the girl said, glancing at the studio. "If so, I can call them out for you."A figure flashe

The next day, after I prepared breakfast, SiSi took the initiative to go next door and invite Harley Gunther over to eat with us.During the meal, I asked SiSi if she wanted to go see Xia Zhi. Harley Gunther chimed in, "She doesn't even remember. Going to such a place is bad luck. Let's not go. Stay at home with your godfather, and I'll take you to the park later."Xia Zhi was taken back to Yong'an for investigation when SiSi was just a little over two years old."No, Mom said Aunt Xia Zhi helped us, so I have to go," SiSi said, taking a big sip of her porridge, her words muffled. "I also want to buy a bouquet of flowers.""Good girl." I picked up a fried egg and put it on her plate. "Eat more."SiSi, who had been eating with great relish, suddenly paused, gave me a half-smile, and nodded, her lips twitching slightly.Children are still children; they can't hide their feelings as well as adults.Before I could ask what was wrong or if the food wasn't good, SiSi spoke up, "Okay,

Stan Wallace lifted his thin eyelids to look at me, put down his knife and fork, and took a pair of disposable chopsticks from the drawer under the table.He didn't look at me or say anything else. That one sentence was all there was, with an attitude that suggested it was up to me whether I wanted to leave or not.It was then that I noticed his eyes had become sharper and more authoritative.In the past, he always spoke and acted with a maturity beyond his years. Now, he is even more steady, with a touch of arrogance unique to those in power.This arrogance comes from a calm indifference to anyone or anything.I hugged my canvas bag back to my chest, clutched my phone tightly, and sat down awkwardly.The restaurant combines Chinese and Western cuisine. At this moment, the waiter has already served four hot dishes. Unlike other restaurants, the main course was served first, and it was a time-consuming and labor-intensive dish with a lot of meat.Even for the three of us, Bai Yan

Probably feeling that it was inappropriate to gossip about the boss who was getting married, Xu Ze cautiously glanced at the rearview mirror:"Miss Su, don't misunderstand. Mr. Wallace is very kind to us employees, and everyone genuinely likes him."I nodded, not doubting a word he said.Anyone who had interacted with Stan Wallace would likely find it hard not to like him."Many people used to try to set him up with girlfriends, and quite a few even volunteered themselves," Xu Ze cast a light glance through the rearview mirror. "But his standards were too high; he didn't even give them a second look."I turned my head to look out the window, responding with a faint acknowledgment.Following Xu Ze into the studio, the receptionist greeted me warmly. A middle-aged man with a worried expression also came forward, skipping the pleasantries and getting straight to the point:"The previous legal counsel tampered with the contract, and now he's causing trouble, making our clients think
