Ji Xinyao was bored alone and fell asleep while lying on the sofa. When she heard the noise, she slowly got up, rubbed her eyes and walked to his side.
"where have you been?"
"I just went to meet a client."
"Oh." Ji Xinyao did not ask further and changed her explanation, "Then what important thing do you want to tell me?"
Song Lucun hesitated for a moment, then held her shoulders and asked her to sit down.
"I just went to see Richard. Do you still remember this name?"
Is Song Lucun planning to open up to her? This move surprised Ji Xinyao.
"Remember. What happened?"
How could she not remember the person she called?
"Xinyao, I'm sorry for you. I still regret what happened a year ago. I have always been indebted to you. Richard and I just talked about cooperation, and the condition is you.
There is no way I can agree to him. Even if I lose Guangfeng, I will not compromise with him. But it may be harder in the future, and I won’t be able to provide you with a lot of help. But I hope you can trust me,
I will definitely be able to earn everything back for you with my hands."
Song Lucun said words that moved him.
Ji Xinyao was speechless, but she still pretended not to understand and mocked.
"But it's you who worked hard, not me, so there's no need to tell me so much, right? And you don't seem to have provided me with any help. My two current resources have nothing to do with Guangfeng?" Ji Xinyao held him in her arms.
hand, "What you earn is for yourself, not for me. Why do you say it as if you are transferring the pressure to me?"
Song Lucun was a little embarrassed. Everything Ji Xinyao said was reasonable and he couldn't deny it at all.
But he thought Ji Xinyao would be moved by it and say some words of encouragement and comfort to him.
If she said this, would she look down on him after he lost everything?
Song Lucun couldn't help but think wildly, and he kept trying to convince himself that even though Ji Xinyao had lived with him in such a dilapidated house some time ago, Ji Xinyao had never disliked him.
Ji Xinyao stared at his face which turned red and white for a while, figuring that it would be enough to leave a shadow of suspicion and not make his mood fluctuate too much. So she stood up and hugged him.
"We're not at the end of the rope yet. We can still think of a way, right? If it doesn't work out, I'll think about if there's anyone I know who can help."
Song Lucun frowned. Now that Ji Xinyao knew her and was willing to help her, wasn't Song Zilian the only one left?
How could he let her beg Song Zilian?
Even if he wants to die, he can't.
"It's okay, Xinyao, this is my own business, I can handle it myself."
Ji Xinyao originally just made a casual drawing and had no intention of actually helping him find someone. She smiled and nodded, "I believe you."
Ji Xinyao stayed with Song Lucun for a short time before leaving, saying that she wanted to leave some space for Song Lucun to figure out his own solution.
Song Lucun didn't sleep well all night. He contacted everyone he could contact, and no one could help him at the risk of severe internal fluctuations in Guangfeng Bank.
It is said that banks buy umbrellas when it is sunny and close them when it rains. Song Lucun feels that other industries are very similar.
Early in the morning, Ji Xinyao called him to ask how the matter was being handled. Song Lucun sighed and shook his head, speechless.
"How about I go meet Richard?" Ji Xinyao tentatively asked Song Lucun.
"No, I can't let him hurt you again."
"I'm very happy that you care about me so much." She spoke very slowly, and hung up the phone without a few words of conversation.
That afternoon, she found Richard's current residence based on the address she had found.
It was earlier than the time agreed by Richard and Song Lucun, and Richard was a little surprised.
"Miss Ji, why are you here alone? Isn't your boyfriend accompanying you?" Richard opened the door, and as soon as he saw her, a proud smile appeared on his face.
Ji Xinyao walked in gracefully, as if she was invited to play by a friend.
"Boyfriend, who are you referring to?"
"Song Lucun? Didn't he ask you to come to my place?"
"You can call him and ask him, why are you asking me?" Ji Xinyao said, walking to the sofa nearby and sitting down.
Richard narrowed his eyes slightly, "Call him and ask him? So you like to play such exciting things?" As he said this, he actually took out his mobile phone and called Song Lucun.
Song Lucun thought that Richard was coming to urge him. Just as he was about to speak, Richard spoke immediately.
"She's here with me? Why don't you worry about letting a girl fall into a tiger's mouth alone without sending her off?"
Song Lucun's hair suddenly stood up.
"What did you say? Who came to your place?"
"Still pretending? Haha. Of course it's your girlfriend Ji Xinyao. She is dressed very beautifully today and I like it very much."
Song Lucun's voice suddenly turned into a roar, "Richard, don't mess around! I didn't let Xinyao pass, you are not allowed to touch her."
The sound was loud enough that Ji Xinyao could hear it.
Richard felt something was slightly wrong and turned to Ji Xinyao, "Didn't he ask you to come?"
Ji Xinyao looked at him calmly and asked, "Is this important?"
"Of course...it's not important."
Richard hung up the phone and walked to Ji Xinyao, his eyes locked on her like a poisonous snake.
"So, you sacrificed yourself for Song Lucun?"
"Is it considered self-sacrifice to come here and catch up with you? I thought you should treat me to a nice meal."
Richard looked at her as if he were looking at the prey that he had already obtained. He didn't move quickly or slowly, just like when he opened his mouth, the prey would automatically get into his mouth.
Before death, one must give someone a decapitated meal.
"Okay, what do you want to eat?"
"King Crab."
"You have a big appetite, but by chance, I can afford it."
Richard actually ordered her a king crab.
Afterwards, his phone rang wildly, it was Song Lucun calling, but Richard didn't answer.
"He might come..." Richard tested her reaction.
Ji Xinyao smiled and said, "I don't mind if three of us play together."
Richard laughed and said, "You have changed a lot this year."
"Have you become more beautiful?"
"Not only is she more beautiful, she is also much smarter. What a pity, what a pity..."
"What's the pity?"
Richard was speechless and quietly touched the pistol in his pocket.
"Nothing, just open a bottle of wine. I happen to have a bottle of good wine here. Good wine goes with a beautiful woman."
Richard brought wine and two wine glasses, poured them in and handed one glass to Ji Xinyao.
She took it easily and poured it all into her mouth.
Then, she frowned and held her forehead with her hands.
"What's going on... I'm a little dizzy. This wine... is so strong." She said dizzily.
Richard smiled ferociously, "Of course, it's not because of the wine, it's because the wine was spiked with drugs, bitch."
