"What is this bastard doing? He hung up on me all of a sudden...!"
The call was hung up, which made Chen Mei feel unhappy for a while, but deep down she couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. You Jia no longer pursued the matter. Although she was equally surprised, she was also grateful.
After all, she didn't want to see any conflict between Xiao Yunfei and Youjia...
at the same time.
The headquarters of the 'Dragon Group', Yu Cheng is sitting on this chair, like a Greek sculpture, his dark and deep eyes are staring straight ahead, and he exudes an aura of calmness and power, and the invisible pressure makes people feel uncomfortable.
Even the members of the 'Dragon Group' who were in frequent contact with him felt more or less indescribable fear under this invisible majesty.
"Shura, how have things been these past two days?"
You Cheng knew very well that the person who injured his nephew You Shaojie must be Xiao Yunfei. If it weren't for You Shaojie's fault in the first place, he would not have made such a decision. What's more, if Xiao Yunfei dared to do this, he must have something to rely on.
, otherwise how could such a thing be possible.
"It's very honest. I went shopping with Lu Xinyao today and didn't do anything unusual."
Long Yi briefly reported the situation and continued: "However, Lu Tianming's secretary Ye Guoqing went to Xingyue Bay this morning and stayed for nearly two and a half hours before leaving.
"
Two and a half hours?
You Cheng frowned slightly, but he was not surprised at all. He knew exactly why Ye Guoqing came to Xingyue Bay. The old man at home wanted to see Lu Xinyao. But at present, Lu Tianming and his daughter Lu Xinyao
The relationship between water and fire is definitely a headache for Lu Tianming.
However, You Cheng was not sure whether Lu Yatou would agree to meet the old man at home. What’s more, with Lu Yatou’s resolute attitude now, if she said something that she shouldn’t have said when she met the old man at home, she
, the situation will only become more embarrassing by then.
Thinking of this, a bitter smile appeared on You Cheng's face for the first time. He said: "I understand. You go down and do things first."
"Yes, Chief."
Long Yi responded, turned around and walked out of the office, closing the door gently. However, he was also very curious in his heart as to why 'Long Tou' showed such a bitter smile...
…
The sun sets over the western mountains. The sky is getting dark.
At six o'clock, the city of Yanjing was already shrouded in hazy black fog. The street lights on both sides of the streets were lit up one after another, making the ancient city of Yanjing sparkle with stars. It was so charming.
However, Lu Tianming was not at all in the mood to appreciate such a charming night view of Yanjing. Looking at the time that was running non-stop every minute, he couldn't believe it even if he wanted to stop it. He could only watch the time keep running in front of his eyes.
Fly by.
"National Day, is there any news about Xinyao?"
Lu Tianming really couldn't hold it any longer. If he couldn't get a reply from his daughter before seven o'clock, he would have to let the old man fly. Even if he was given a few more water tanks, he wouldn't dare.
"not yet."
Ye Guoqing shook his head with a wry smile and glanced at Lu Tianming, who looked extremely anxious. He was like an ant on a hot pot. He couldn't help but speak again and said: "How about we find an excuse and say that Xinyao is not feeling well?"
Something like that, I pushed back Mr. You’s invitation, otherwise if we haven’t rushed over when the time comes, wouldn’t it mean that we would have let Mr. You’s plane go?”
Push it down?
Lu Tianming frowned tightly and looked at the time again. It was almost half past six in a few minutes. If he made excuses to refuse now, although it would make Mr. You unhappy, it would still be better than letting go.
Mr. You’s pigeons are much stronger!
However, if Mr. You said he wanted to come to visit this girl Lu Xinyao, wouldn't that mean he would have to tell another lie?
What's more, lying is like opening a Pandora's box. To tell one lie, you have to use countless lies to smooth things over. And once you tell too many lies, sooner or later you will no longer be able to hide them. At that time, the problem will only change.
It’s getting more serious!
Lu Tianming would definitely not want to go to this point if it was not necessary, but time is urgent now, but if he does not make a decision, when the time comes, the consequences will never be better.
"Secretary, please make a decision quickly. There is not much time left."
Ye Guoqing looked at the time and felt a sense of urgency. He couldn't help but remind Lu Tianming again that every minute and every second now was more important to them than life.
Hearing this, Lu Tianming's eyes became gloomy and uncertain, and he gnashed his teeth for a while as he made a difficult decision.
"Call Xinyao immediately and ask her if she has thought about it!"
Lu Tianming suddenly gritted his teeth tightly and spat out these words. At this last moment, he still didn't want to give up.
Ye Guoqing looked at Lu Tianming in embarrassment, and said with a wry smile: "Secretary, I think... the effect of this call will be better if you make it."
He's here to fight?
Lu Tianming frowned, his expression wavering, but finally he bit down and took the phone from Ye Guoqing's hand...
…
Xingyue Bay Apartment.
Xiao Yunfei sat on the sofa with his legs crossed, and casually looked up at the clock on the wall. Oh my god! It was already 6:40 in the evening. He looked at Lu Xinyao next to him and still had the mind to watch TV. Could it be that she was
Aren't you impatient at all?
"Hey, are you really planning not to go to the banquet?"
Xiao Yunfei looked at Lu Xinyao's perfect facial features, which were so exquisite that they seemed to have been carefully carved by hand, including the willow eyebrows, upturned nose, and bright red cherry mouth, and he couldn't help but asked with curiosity in his heart.
"Why, do you really want me to go?"
Lu Xinyao rolled her eyes at Xiao Yunfei angrily, and subconsciously looked at the time. Her pretty eyebrows couldn't help but wrinkle, why did time fly by so fast?
"Do you want to hear the truth or a lie?" Xiao Yunfei shrugged his shoulders indifferently.
"Of course it's the truth!" Lu Xinyao rolled her eyes at Xiao Yunfei angrily again. After all, who in this world would like to hear lies.
"I don't want you to go!"
"Why?"
She was stunned. Lu Xinyao was really curious. How could this guy have such an idea? If he really didn't want her to go, why had he been reminding her of the time before?
"Who knows if you will never come back and let me take my wife with you inside." Xiao Yunfei said righteously.
"——!"
Lu Xinyao was speechless for a while, looked at Xiao Yunfei with deep contempt, and said angrily: "A dog can't spit out ivory from its mouth!"
"What? Everything they said is true!"
Xiao Yunfei shouted dissatisfied and continued: "Think about it, you are meeting the old man of the You family. Who knows whether you will be frightened by someone like this. You are so confused.
If I agree to get engaged, won't I lose my wife and lose my troops?"
"Full of nonsense!"
Lu Xinyao's face turned red, and she gave Xiao Yunfei a charming look. She was about to say something when her cell phone placed aside suddenly rang.
Buzz...buzz...
The mobile phone kept ringing. Lu Xinyao looked at the caller ID on the mobile phone screen. Her cold and pretty face tensed up in an instant, and the blush on her face disappeared in an instant.
"The phone has been ringing for a long time. If you don't answer it, it will be disconnected."
When Xiao Yunfei saw Lu Xinyao picking up her phone and not answering it for a long time, she screamed angrily and subconsciously stretched her head to look at the screen of Lu Xinyao's phone.
Lu Tianming?
After seeing the caller ID clearly, Xiao Yunfei couldn't help but frown, wondering why Lu Xinyao didn't answer the phone for a long time.
"Answer the phone, why haven't you answered the phone yet?!"
Lu Tianming listened to the phone ringing for a long time, but no one answered it. He suddenly became irritated, gnashing his teeth for a while, and started pacing back and forth anxiously.
"Secretary, don't worry, maybe Xinyao didn't hear the phone ring."
Ye Guoqing calmed Lu Tianming's anxious mood, but he didn't want to see the two of them immediately having a verbal conflict when the phone call came.
"What's the matter?"
The call finally got through, but Lu Xinyao's unusually cold voice came from the phone, as if she was talking to a stranger.
"You know why I called you!"
Lu Tianming tried his best to control the anger in his heart and spoke into the phone through gritted teeth.
"I'm sorry, I really don't know!" Lu Xinyao sneered and continued: "If you have nothing else to do, please don't disturb me while I'm watching TV!"
"etc!"
Lu Tianming was really afraid that Lu Xinyao would hang up the phone directly. Although he was very resentful in his heart, he still called out quickly. After being silent for a while, he said: "Mr. You invites you to come over for dinner tonight. Don't care about us."
How incompatible the current relationship is, you can't go against the old man's will."
silence.
Lu Xinyao's voice did not come from the phone, but Lu Tianming knew that she was still there.
"I'm just having a meal with Mr. You. As for the engagement between you and Shaojie, you can take a break for a while. I promise I won't mention the engagement at the dinner table!"
Speaking of this, Lu Tianming's tone softened again and said: "Xinyao, just think of me as begging you. You should know that it is not easy for my father to sit in his current position. You..."
"No need to say any more, I will come over!"
Lu Xinyao interrupted Lu Tianming's words and hung up the phone immediately after speaking.
"What did she say?"
When Ye Guoqing saw Lu Tianming put away the phone, he quickly asked. After all, he and Lu Tianming were equally worried about whether Lu Xinyao would agree.
"Huh~~ She said she would go."
Lu Tianming breathed a sigh of relief, looked at the time, and said, "We are running out of time. We can't keep Mr. You waiting for too long. Let's go there first!"
"But……"
"If she says she will go, she will definitely go!"
Lu Tianming interrupted Ye Guoqing's last words and got into the back seat of the car. After all, he knew Lu Xinyao's daughter very well...
