Zhu Xiaoxiao lowered her eyes and tried to sound as natural as possible: "Ji Yan, I'm calling you this time because I want to ask you about something."
She just called Ji Yan, but Yan Bingxia already felt like she was facing a formidable enemy. Zhu Xiaoxiao didn't dare to delay, so she kept the conversation short and spoke very quickly: "Do you have a cousin who is from the Liu tribe in southern Xinjiang and is proficient in
Poison?"
"Yes." Ji Yan nodded, then subconsciously raised his eyebrows with a worried tone: "Why are you asking about this? Are you feeling unwell?"
"It's not me." Zhu Xiaoxiao explained: "It's my boss. She wants to find a member of the Liu clan who is proficient in poison. Ji Yan, can you help me introduce him? It's not a bad thing. It's my boss who wants to save her grandfather and is looking for Liu.
People from the clan can help."
"Okay." Ji Yan agreed, "Where are you now? I'll find you."
Zhu Xiaoxiao was startled for a moment, then quickly refused: "No, no, no, you don't need to come over, just give me your cousin's contact information, and we will contact her directly."
Ji Yan frowned: "Xiaoxiao, there is no need to be so polite between us."
"I..." Zhu Xiaoxiao wanted to explain, but Ji Yan blocked the words with a tone that left no room for doubt: "My cousin has a weird personality. Without me to guide you, you rashly went to find her."
, she will never pay attention to you. Didn't you ask your cousin to save someone? Human life is at stake, and there is no room for error."
Zhu Xiaoxiao sighed: "I'll trouble you then. But what about Sister Bingxia? Can she do it alone?"
"There is a servant at home." Ji Yan's tone did not allow Zhu Xiaoxiao to refuse, "You don't have to worry too much. Where are you now? Give me your address."
Hearing this, Zhu Xiaoxiao glanced at Lu Xixin.
Lu Xixin nodded.
Zhu Xiaoxiao reported the address of the Gu family villa.
After hanging up the phone, Zhu Xiaoxiao breathed a long sigh of relief, as if he had gone through a battle and the man was relieved.
Through the rearview mirror, she saw Lu Xixin looking at her.
Zhu Xiaoxiao stuck out her tongue in embarrassment: "Teacher Lu, I'm telling you a joke. My relationship with Ji Yan is a bit complicated." If it weren't for Teacher Lu's grandfather, Zhu Xiaoxiao might never have contacted him in this life.
.
The journey was boring, and Zhu Xiaoxiao talked about her and Ji Yan.
In fact, there is no complicated emotional entanglement. The two have been childhood sweethearts and grew up together.
The two families lived together and had business contacts, so the adults of the two families verbally engaged the two children.
Not very formal, more like a joke.
But Zhu Xiaoxiao admitted the truth. She liked her neighbor's handsome little brother who looked like little Bai Yang. He followed Ji Yan all day long, like a little follower.
Ji Yan was two years older than Zhu Xiaoxiao. He went to another place when he was in college. In order to catch up with Ji Yan, Zhu Xiaoxiao studied hard and finally got admitted to Ji Yan's university.
The college entrance examination was over and school hadn't started yet, so she ran to Ji Yan's school early to give him a surprise.
Before setting off, Zhu's mother stuffed Zhu Xiaoxiao with a bunch of things, including two travel bags and a large backpack.
Zhu Xiaoxiao refused loudly: "Mom, I'm going to stay for two days and then come back. You are moving, and I haven't started school yet!"
"It's not for you." Zhu's mother glanced at Zhu Xiaoxiao, "You little skinny monkey, how can you be short of anything? This is for Bingxia. Bingxia is also studying in college in Haicheng. You can drop by to see her.
."
Zhu Xiaoxiao was speechless and exaggerated: "Mom! Do you know how far away is Hainan University and Normal University? One is to the south of the city and the other is to the north. Are you going to exhaust me to death?"
Zhu Xiaoxiao was originally just a joke. There are so many things that mother and daughter need to be careful about being polite.
But Mother Zhu was sensitive, her eyes were slightly red: "Xiaoxiao, do you look down on your cousin? You think your cousin was born in poverty, and after listening to your grandma's talk, she doesn't want to get along with your grandma's family."
Zhu's mother was a high-married woman, and her life in the Zhu family had not been good. Mrs. Zhu looked down on her background and temperament.
Zhu Xiaoxiao was helpless. She hugged her mother and carefully coaxed her for a while, and then she coaxed her mother into crying.
"Mom, don't worry, let alone three big bags, even five or ten big bags, I will bring them to Sister Bingxia."
