Upon hearing the call from Zhou Lu, Nie Jingrou's pretty face tightened and she looked at Xia Yuanqiao complicatedly.
"Then do you want to pick it up?" Nie Jingrou suppressed her inner uneasiness and asked him in a low voice.
"No answer." Xia Yuanqiao hung up directly: "I don't want to answer her calls anymore."
Nie Jingrou's eyes were stunned, and then she pursed her lips and smiled: "Why? Don't you want to hear what she wants to say to you?"
"I have nothing to say to her." Xia Yuanqiao showed an expression of anger and disgust.
Nie Jingrou felt even happier in her heart. As long as Xia Yuanqiao didn't answer Zhou Lu's call, Zhou Lu's bet would have been lost, and then she could continue to develop with Xia Yuanqiao with peace of mind.
The two of them chose a Western restaurant. The picture of a handsome man and a beautiful woman is always very eye-catching. When the two of them sit in a seat, some people next to them will cast envious glances.
Xia Yuanqiao has an innate sense of nobility, while Nie Jingrou gives people an aura as cool as spring water. With her beautiful and soft facial features and firm and shining eyes, she is a rare beauty with temperament.
When the waiter came to take the order, he couldn't help but take a second look, secretly envious.
While Nie Jingrou was looking at the order, Xia Yuanqiao's cell phone rang again, and she quickly raised her eyes to look at him.
Xia Yuanqiao put the phone directly on the table and hung up.
Nie Jingrou sighed bitterly in her heart, Zhou Lu was really good at pestering people.
The next second, there was the sound of a text message on the mobile phone. Xia Yuanqiao Ying frowned and did not want to read the text message.
Nie Jingrou finished ordering and sat on the chair. The atmosphere suddenly became slightly tense.
"Take a look and see what message she sent. I think you have been avoiding her and making her think you are interested in him." Nie Jingrou suddenly said.
Xia Yuanqiao reluctantly picked up the phone and clicked on the text message.
Then I saw Zhou Lu wrote a long apology eloquently.
Xia Yuanqiao frowned and looked at it for a few times before throwing it away: "What the hell is she doing again?"
"What's wrong?" Nie Jingrou was curious.
"She's apologizing." Xia Yuanqiao sneered and sneered: "She apologized because she was scared, but she didn't say a word about returning the photo to me. This woman is so good at taking advantage of human weaknesses."
"Can I take a look?" Nie Jingrou asked in a low voice.
Xia Yuanqiao handed over the phone directly: "Ignore her."
Nie Jingrou picked it up and read it, and saw the text message written by Zhou Lu: "Yuanqiao, I'm sorry, I have deeply reflected on it. During our relationship, I lied to you, but I really liked you. It's true.
Please believe me. I was forced by my parents to marry Xiao Cheng, not of my own free will.
, you know my family situation. My parents are partial and use me as a tool. I am helpless and sad. Yuanqiao, there is no way I can ask for your forgiveness, but please see that we once loved each other so much.
For your sake, please give me another chance to apologize to you in person, okay?"
Nie Jingrou looked at these euphemistic and touching words, which deeply reflected Zhou Lu's inner activities, and even described herself as a charming and pitiful little person who was unable to resist.
"Do you believe what she said?" Nie Jingrou really admired Zhou Lu. She was so capable, why didn't she become a writer? Maybe she could write some resonant poems, but she had such good literary talent.
Used to deceive other people's feelings.
Xia Yuanqiao sneered: "Can I still trust her? I've seen through her."
"She said she wanted to see you and apologize to you in person, but you didn't see her either?" Nie Jingrou felt conflicted. She clearly didn't want him to see her, but she still asked this question, as if she was testing her.
"Jingrou, I have climbed up from a pit. I don't want to fall back into that pit again. I am very happy and relaxed with you now." Xia Yuanqiao became nervous, fearing that Nie Jingrou would misunderstand him.
Nie Jingrou chuckled softly: "Don't worry, I won't be jealous. I also hope that you and Zhou Lu can have a complete break, but now it seems that she is going to pester you again."
"What kind of tricks is she playing? I probably guessed that she wants me to let her go." Xia Yuanqiao snorted coldly: "So, she thinks that pretending to be weak and miserable in front of me is still useful."
"Because she was not happy during the five years she was with you. Of course she felt that she was more than capable of dealing with you." Nie Jingrou chuckled softly.
"Am I really that stupid?" Xia Yuanqiao was instantly shocked and frowned: "I abused my sympathy before and was deceived by her again and again. Now I have no mercy for her."
Nie Jingrou also believed that Xia Yuanqiao was not stupid, he just valued feelings and was charitable in his heart. Only Zhou Lu could deceive such a good old man. It would take a shrewd man, and Zhou Lu would have figured it out long ago.
"I thought you would sympathize with her endlessly." Nie Jingrou breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, Xia Yuanqiao came to his senses.
Xia Yuanqiao disagreed: "If I really have so much compassion, then I might as well donate more money to those in need. Tomorrow I will donate some books and daily necessities to remote communities and add some chicken legs to the children.
.”
When Nie Jingrou heard what he said, she couldn't help but laugh out loud: "Really? That's great, Mr.
Can’t go back on my word.”
"You still do this part-time?" Xia Yuanqiao was a little surprised.
"Yeah, what? Don't you believe I have this kind of love?" Nie Jingrou raised an eyebrow.
"No, I think it's pretty good. With your status, it's more convincing to be a supervisor. In the past, I was always worried that the money I donated would be eaten by others, so I would get upset sometimes.
Now I feel relieved again. I believe that there are still a few bad people in this world and good people are in the majority. I still have to believe that there is still love in this world." Xia Yuanqiao said in a low voice, feeling even more touched in his heart.
Nie Jingrou looked at him in surprise. It was rare for a man to make such a speech. Even her eldest brother would only take action but never reveal his true feelings to her.
"Xia Yuanqiao, I think you are a little sentimental." Nie Jingrou couldn't help but look at him.
Xia Yuanqiao was startled and immediately restrained his expression: "Why do you say that? Don't you like men to be sentimental?"
"No, cold people don't have these troubles. Kind people are more likely to have worries." Nie Jingrou said with a smile on her face: "I also study human psychology, so when I look at people
,Always trust your own intuition.”
Xia Yuanqiao was startled, this woman can also read people's psychology?
"Then what kind of person do you think I am?" Xia Yuanqiao became interested.
Nie Jingrou immediately reached out to cover her eyes: "I don't want to see through you. Once I see through you, there will be no mystery anymore. Let's keep a little bit of each other's privacy."
Xia Yuanqiao's handsome face turned red instantly, and he laughed at himself: "Do I still have a sense of mystery and privacy in front of you? Haven't you seen it all?"
Nie Jingrou's pretty face instantly turned red with embarrassment, and then she thought of what happened at the Mu family villa that day.
"I didn't mean to see it, it was an accident." Nie Jingrou coughed dryly and picked up the water to drink. Unexpectedly, the water flowed straight into her throat, making her cough even more violently.
Xia Yuanqiao quickly stood up and came over, rubbing her back to calm her down: "Why are you panicking? I didn't say anything."
Nie Jingrou's pretty face turned even redder when she coughed, and she glared at him angrily: "That's right, you are a man, what are you afraid of?"
Xia Yuanqiao laughed helplessly: "Who said men aren't afraid? But it's you, so forget it."
Nie Jingrou instantly felt like she was being pampered. After she stopped coughing, she looked at his phone and said, "Please reply to her."
"I don't want to go back. You are smarter than me. You can go back." Xia Yuanqiao directly gave her the right to speak.
"Oh, that's fine, I'll reply." Nie Jingrou picked it up without ceremony.
Xia Yuanqiao looked at her while drinking water. Nie Jingrou typed very fast.
"Zhou Lu, don't waste your efforts. We can meet you and return the photos to me."
After sending the text message, it took a while before Zhou Lu responded.
"Yuanqiao, actually, I have to be honest with you. Didn't I tell you before that I lost a mobile phone? Most of your photos are in that mobile phone. I'm sorry, I'm afraid that the mobile phone will be picked up by others.
Once someone picks it up and sees those photos, what should you do?" Zhou Lu's reply was again difficult to explain.
"Lost your phone?" Xia Yuanqiao was so angry that he almost exploded on the spot.
Nie Jingrou couldn't believe that Zhou Lu would actually say this.
"I suspect she lied again." Nie Jingrou immediately questioned.
Xia Yuanqiao made a direct call to Zhou Lu, and Zhou Lu's voice came out with a bit of a choke: "Yuanqiao..."
"Zhou Lu, don't play tricks. You have always protected your phone as if it were your life and never let me check it. How could you lose it? You didn't want to give it back to me, so you made an excuse. Then one day, you suddenly
Threatening and blackmailing me with photos like a stranger? Haha, you are so calculating." Xia Yuanqiao rarely gets angry, but at this moment, Zhou Lu's behavior has touched his taboo.
"Yuanqiao, please don't be mean to others. I also know that I shouldn't leave my cell phone lying around, but it's true. Once my husband found out that I had two cell phones. I was very scared, so I just stuffed the cell phone in
I found a restaurant chair cushion and then I went back to look for it but couldn't find it." Zhou Lu said while crying, feeling at a loss and panicking.
"Which restaurant you are in, you must have some influence, right? I'll check the surveillance right now, or ask the waiter, and I will always find out where the phone is. Don't lie to me." Xia Yuanqiao's back felt cold. If it's true,
The leakage of these photos would be a disaster for him.
"How about I accompany you to the restaurant to look for it? But it has been several months and I don't know if they still admit it or if there is still surveillance." Zhou Lu replied in a serious tone.
"I'll look for the phone this afternoon. If I can't find it, Zhou Lu, I won't let you go." Xia Yuanqiao was really anxious, and his handsome face turned green with anger.
Nie Jingrou also frowned. If what Zhou Lu said was true, would her boyfriend be admired by countless women?
No, no, no, she doesn't agree.
"Okay, I'll wait for you at the old place in the afternoon." Zhou Lu said with a faintly resentful voice and then hung up.
Nie Jingrou became inexplicably angry when she heard the word "old place". However, it was not the time for her to lose her temper now, so she could only endure it and looked up at the man opposite who couldn't sit still.
"Damn it..." Xia Yuanqiao was extremely annoyed. He squeezed his phone tightly, lowered his head and punched the table twice in anger: "This woman is really going to drag me into the abyss."
"Don't worry, the matter hasn't reached that stage yet. Don't worry, even if someone does get the photo, they will definitely contact you as soon as possible. You only need to spend some money to solve it." Nie Jingrou quickly comforted him.
Xia Yuanqiao's mood slowly calmed down: "This woman Zhou Lu has already planned this step."
"She wants to get married and pursue happiness, and you are her stumbling block. She must hold you in check to prevent you from ruining her life." Nie Jingrou also felt that Zhou Lu was really too strategic.
"Jingrou, I may not be able to accompany you to this meal. I have to go find her first." Xia Yuanqiao suddenly stood up.
"Now?" Nie Jingrou's eyes froze: "Do you really want to see her?"
"I have to get the photo back." Xia Yuanqiao said urgently.
Nie Jingrou's eyes dimmed, but she also made up her mind: "Okay, go ahead and I'll lend you the car keys."
Xia Yuanqiao accepted the offer, said thank you, and immediately turned around. Before leaving, he settled the bill first and then left.
Nie Jingrou took a deep breath, and soon after Xia Yuanqiao left, she also left.
Originally, she wanted to use her status to check the route to Xia Yuanqiao, but she could not occupy public resources for private matters. This was something she learned from her father, and private matters should be handled privately.
So Nie Jingrou immediately hurried downstairs from the other direction, rushed out the door, and hailed a taxi.
"Uncle, turn left, east from Block B, at the third intersection, there is a silver car." Nie Jingru neatly instructed the taxi driver to turn to an intersection, and then reported the license plate number.
"Miss, is that the car?" The taxi driver pointed to the vehicle that had just rushed out.
"Yes, help me follow." Nie Jingrou was extremely familiar with the road in this area. Xia Yuanqiao would definitely need to turn on the navigation system to get on the road, so Nie Jingrou casually directed the taxi driver to follow her easily.
Behind the car.
The final destination is Yindong Hotel.
"Damn, this is really a place like this." Nie Jingrou slapped her forehead hard.
"Miss, the man who got off the car in front is not your husband, right?" The driver looked at her sympathetically.
Nie Jingrou laughed at herself: "It depends on today."
"Miss, according to my experience as a man, there is a high probability that you will become a prostitute. Let me give you a 20% discount." The uncle driver was quite considerate.
Nie Jingrou was stunned. Sure enough, there were more good people. She took out three bills and said, "No need to look for them."
The uncle driver was overjoyed: "Girl, I wish you all your wishes come true."
Nie Jingrou froze. Her wish would come true? All she could think about now was that something bad would happen to Xia Yuanqiao and Zhou Lu. She didn't want her wish to come true.
