Chapter 296: Ji Mingche is Suspicious and Needs an Appraisal
After a while, Lu Youting reacted, took out his mobile phone from his pocket, and called Jian Si.
In their sight, Jian Si and Ji Mingche happened to walk under a dim streetlight.
The two stopped walking, and Jian Si made a gesture of taking out her cell phone. After a moment, her clear voice came from the receiver: "What's wrong? Is there anything else?"
Luk Youting asked expressionlessly: "Where are you now?"
Jian Si replied: "Hospital! What can you do?"
Her impatient tone made Lu Youting's heart sting.
"Where are you in the hospital? It's snowing and you didn't bring an umbrella. I'll give you one."
Jian Si refused without hesitation: "No need."
"...??"
If it were before, if he was rejected again and again, Luk Youting would have hung up the phone long ago, and he never gets used to it.
Thinking about it, he would never be so shameless and humble when others please him.
But today, he resisted the urge to hang up the phone and asked patiently: "Are you ready to go home?"
Jian Si didn't think about hiding anything from him and said bluntly: "No, I just met a friend in the hospital. I will go with him for a late-night snack and I will come back later..."
Before he finished speaking, Lu Youting couldn't bear it and hung up the phone.
Listening to the beep sound coming from the other side of the phone, Jian Si felt baffled.
A cold light flashed through Ji Mingche's eyes, and he asked meaningfully: "What's wrong? Who is it? Why does it feel like my husband is checking the post?"
Jian Si put the phone back into her pocket: "Don't talk nonsense! It's Lu Youting. It's snowing. He wants to ask me if I want an umbrella."
"Oh!" Ji Mingche smiled playfully, with a particularly long ending, which was vaguely intriguing.
Jian Si thought she was teasing him, but didn't care.
Lu Youting held on to the phone tightly, his knuckles turned white due to excessive exertion, and his cold and handsome face was filled with monstrous anger——
After standing there for a while, he took out his mobile phone and dialed Gu Yuchen's number: "Come out for a drink."
Gu Yuchen was stunned for a moment, thinking he heard wrongly: "Boss, did you take the wrong medicine? It's such a cold day, why go out to drink? You won't be with Xiaobai in the hospital anymore."
Lu Youting said impatiently: "Stop talking nonsense, are you coming?"
Hearing that his tone was bad and he seemed to be in a bad mood, Gu Yuchen dared to refuse and said hurriedly: "The boss has spoken, there is no reason not to go. Where is it?"
"Old place, call me."
After speaking, he hung up the phone without waiting for Gu Yuchen's reply.
Night paris ktv.
In the private room, the flickering lights shrouded Lu Youting's body, hiding his expression in the darkness.
Watching Lu Youting drink one glass after another, Shen Xiuyi and Gu Yuchen sat aside and looked at each other.
At Shen Xiuyi's signal, Gu Yuchen boldly moved his butt over and asked cautiously: "Boss, what's wrong with you? Are you in a bad mood?"
You know, since Xiaobai was diagnosed with congenital heart disease, the boss always thought it was his own problem, and he stopped smoking and drinking.
When socializing, subordinates also drink on their behalf.
What happened today? The boss actually broke the rules.
Lu Youting did not answer, but kept drinking, as if he was drunk, and his problem was solved.
Seeing that he didn't answer, Shen Xiuyi realized the seriousness of the situation and hurriedly asked with concern: "Boss, what's wrong with you? Is there something wrong with your sister-in-law?"
Hearing the words 'little sister-in-law', Lu Youting stopped drinking.
His unconscious behavior confirmed Shen Xiuyi's suspicion.
He winked at Gu Yuchen.
Gu Yuchen understood the idea, and after Lu Youting finished his drink, he immediately filled it up for him. He also poured himself a glass and clinked it with him: "Come on, come on, since the boss is in a bad mood, as brothers, we naturally have to risk our lives to accompany each other. Let's drink happily. , I won’t come home until I’m drunk tonight.”
Lu Youting drank all the wine in the glass.
Two people, you have a drink, I have a drink, and keep drinking.
Shen Xiuyi took this opportunity to sneak out of the private room and called Jian Si.
at the same time.
Jian Si and Ji Mingche came to a barbecue restaurant where they often ate when they were children.
The boss was a chubby aunt in her sixties. She recognized Jian Si at a glance and greeted them enthusiastically to sit down: "Miss Jian, you came with your friends today! The seat you usually sit in has been given to me. You keep it, the menu is on the table, and I will serve you grilled fish first according to the old rules."
"Boss, don't you recognize him?" Jian Si asked Ji Mingche to take a seat by the window, where he could enjoy the snowy scenery outside while dining.
After her reminder, the boss couldn't help but start to look at Ji Mingche carefully. He looked more and more familiar, but he couldn't remember anything for a while.
Jian Si kindly reminded: "Sweet tofu nao..."
The boss was suddenly pleasantly surprised and suddenly realized: "Oh oh oh, I remembered! He is the little boy who likes to drink sweet tofu. In the past, you two often came together."
Because everyone drinks salted tofu nao.
And this little boy likes to drink sweet drinks.
The taste is unique.
So she was particularly impressed.
I didn’t expect that the little boy had grown so big in a blink of an eye.
Jian Si chuckled: "Then according to the old rules, give him a bowl of sweet tofu nao, and I'll have a bowl of salty one."
"Ok, ok! Just wait a moment, we'll be here soon!" The boss, like Maitreya Buddha, always has a smile on his face and turns around to go to work.
It's snowing and cold today, and there aren't many customers in the store.
After a while, the tofu naoer was served.
Jian Si took a spoonful of tofu and drank it, urging Ji Mingche: "Try it quickly. Does it taste the same as before?"
Ji Mingche lowered his head and took a sip. The sweet taste spread in his mouth. A hint of disgust flashed across his eyes, and his eyebrows twisted slightly.
Jian Si couldn't see his expression and asked hurriedly: "How is it? Does it taste good?"
Ji Mingche raised his head and returned to his original appearance, smiling like a spring breeze: "The taste is the same as in the memory. I didn't expect that after so many years, their craftsmanship is still the same as before."
Jian Si raised her chin proudly: "Of course! They are doing business with old customers. If the taste has changed, doesn't it mean there is no one left?"
Ji Mingche smiled and nodded in agreement.
Jian Si urged him: "I haven't drank in so many years. Drink more. If you don't have enough, order more."
"Okay!" Ji Mingche's expression froze for a moment, then he picked up the bowl and drank the sweet tofu nao in one gulp.
He doesn't like to drink tofu naoer.
Whether it's sweet or salty.
He thought the tofu balls were soft and slippery and had a strange texture. He didn't like eating such slippery things.
After a while, the grilled fish was served.
Jian Si handed the menu to the boss. They were all the kebabs she and Ji Mingche often ate when they were children.
The skewers are served one after another.
Jian Si hurriedly handed a bunch to Ji Mingche: "Try it quickly. You used to say that the chili peppers here are not spicy enough. I ordered super spicy ones today. Let's see if the spiciness is enough? If it's not spicy enough, you can ask the boss again. Make it spicy.”
hot?
The corner of Ji Mingche's mouth twitched and he started grilling the skewers with trembling hands, but he still didn't dare to take a bite.
Seeing that he didn't eat, Jian Si asked in confusion: "Why don't you eat? Eat it quickly, it won't taste good when it's cold."
A drop of cold sweat fell down his forehead. Ji Mingche took a bite as if he was a warrior going to die. He made up his mind and took a bite. He was immediately sweating profusely.
"You..." Jian Si noticed something was wrong and was about to ask when the cell phone in her pocket suddenly rang.
The call was from Shen Xiuyi.
The phone was connected, and Shen Xiuyi's anxious voice came from the receiver: "Sister-in-law, where are you now? Do you have time to come over? The boss is drunk and refuses to let me and the third child take him back. Keep calling your name——"
