At seven o'clock in the evening, Lu Boyan's car stopped in front of the "Junsheng Hotel".
The doorman came forward and opened the car door for Lu Boyan, greeting politely: "Mr. Lu, good evening."
Lu Boyan nodded slightly, walked into the hotel, and followed the waiter to the private room on the fourth floor.
Unexpectedly, Fang Qize had arrived long ago, and Fang Qize was the only one in the huge private room.
Han Ruoxi didn't come, did Shen Yuechuan make the wrong conclusion
In any case, Lu Boyan relaxed his vigilance.
"Mr. Lu, sit down." Fang Qize motioned to the waiter to pour wine for Lu Boyan. The waiter nodded, and a quarter of the red liquid was quickly filled into the delicate goblet.
Lu Boyan took off his coat and handed it to another waiter. Just as he sat down, Fang Qize raised his glass to him. He smiled slightly and took a sip of wine to show courtesy.
Fang Qize watched him put down his goblet, adjusted his glasses, and gave the two waiters two big bills as tips: "We don't need your service here."
After staying in a place like this for a long time, the waiter naturally understood what Fang Qize meant, nodded his thanks, and left quickly.
This move had a profound meaning. Lu Boyan swung the red wine in his glass and said, "Mr. Fang, what do you want to talk to me about? Isn't it convenient for others to hear?"
Fang Qize smiled: "I have carefully read Lu's information. Although the current situation is not optimistic, I believe in Lu's foundation and Mr. Lu's strength. This is why I reconsider supporting Lu's loan. "
At this point, Fang Qize paused deliberately. Lu Boyan clinked glasses with him and took a sip of wine. He said unhurriedly: "But you didn't sign to approve the loan. What worries does Mr. Fang have?"
"It's not that I have any concerns." Fang Qize smiled, his eyes shining behind the lenses, "I just have a request."
Lu Boyan stopped shaking the red wine in his glass and turned his cold eyes to Fang Qize: "Please tell me."
Fang Qize thought for a moment and stood up: "Mr. Lu, you'd better talk to Ruoxi."
The door of the private room was suddenly pushed open, and Han Ruoxi walked in wearing sunglasses. Fang Qize nodded towards her and exited the private room.
Lu Boyan and Han Ruoxi were the only ones left in the elegant and spacious private room.
Lu Boyan was only slightly surprised: "Miss Han, what do you want to talk to me about?"
"How important is the loan from Huinan Bank to you now?" Han Ruoxi asked without answering.
"It's very important." Lu Boyan said bluntly, "Due to funding problems, Lu's stock price has dropped to the limit, many projects have stalled, and new cooperation cannot be negotiated... Without this loan, Lu's will soon face bankruptcy."
Han Ruoxi sat down and stared at Lu Boyan with her beautiful eyes: "I can help you get this loan."
Lu Boyan smiled with unknown meaning: "I know." After a pause, "What do you want?"
"I want—you!" Han Ruoxi smiled and said bluntly, "Now that you are behind bars, apart from you, what else do you have that is valuable?"
A cold light flashed across Lu Boyan's unfathomable eyes. Just as he was about to speak, Han Ruoxi beat him to it:
"Don't reject me in a hurry." Han Ruoxi lit a cigarette, "I don't ask you to divorce Su Jianan, and I know it's impossible. I only want you for one night. Early tomorrow morning, the loan from Huinan Bank will be given to Lu's family On account."
"...Why are you like this?" Lu Boyan looked at Han Ruoxi as if he were looking at a poor lost lamb.
When he decided to favor Han Ruoxi, apart from her appearance and acting skills, it was more because of her uniqueness.
The hard work and refusal she showed at that time gave her an indescribable aura compared to other female artists who had also just debuted. He once thought that Han Ruoxi would remain proud forever and become a prominent figure in the chaotic entertainment industry. A different one.
But she was dyed by this dye vat after all.
"Why don't you know?" Han Ruoxi smiled bitterly, "Lu Boyan, you are the reason why I am like this!"
As she said that, Han Ruoxi suddenly lost control: "Because of you, I worked hard to take on roles, and I was thinking about the role while eating. I honed my acting skills, thinking that when I shine on the international stage, I will be worthy of you. But What about you? You’re married and you tell me you love that woman!”
Lu Boyan looked calm: "I told you from the beginning, there is no possibility for us."
"Ha..." Han Ruoxi laughed suddenly.
Yes, Lu Boyan clearly told her back then that she would always be just his friend and an artist under his company, but—
"But I'm not willing to accept it!" Han Ruoxi almost crushed the goblet in her hand, "You got married without even giving me a chance. How can I accept it?"
Lu Boyan has never thought of being more than friends with Han Ruoxi, so how can he give her a chance? Besides, isn't the ambiguity of an unclear attitude the real harm and disrespect to her
The words were on his lips, but after looking at the cigarette in Han Ruoxi's hand and looking at her almost crazy expression, Lu Boyan knew that the Han Ruoxi in front of him was no longer the Han Ruoxi he first knew.
There is no need to explain anymore.
He stood up and was about to leave. However, the moment he stood up, the world started spinning and he felt dizzy without warning.
He subconsciously held on to the table so that he didn't fall down in embarrassment.
He closed his eyes and tried to wake himself up, but the dizziness became more and more serious. His reason and consciousness were being swallowed up inch by inch.
He wasn't sick, so why did he suddenly become like this
Lu Boyan used his last bit of strength to look at Han Ruoxi. She was still sitting on the chair in the same posture as before, neither surprised nor nervous about his sudden situation.
They had tampered with his wine!
Lu Boyan's hands were clenched into fists, and his nails dug into his palms. Only the pain of the flesh being torn apart could keep him awake.
"Han Ruoxi, what are you going to do?"
Han Ruoxi came over, gently supported Lu Boyan, and touched his face with her well-maintained hands: "Mr. Lu will be fine tomorrow, don't worry."
It was obvious what she wanted to do.
Lu Boyan's eyes flashed, and he opened Han Ruoxi's hand fiercely: "Get out!"
Han Ruoxi was pushed back two steps. After she stood firm, she suddenly laughed and made a call: "He's taking effect from the medicine. Come in."
Lu Boyan guessed who Han Ruoxi was calling, and looked at the knife on the table. After a while, the person who opened the door and walked in was Fang Qize.
Fang Qize came over and supported him: "Mr. Lu, let's go."
Lu Boyan narrowed his eyes, and in the next second, he picked up the knife and put it on Fang Qize's throat: "I don't care what your and Han Ruoxi's plan is, stop now and I can let you go."
"Even if you really dare to take my life, believe me, you don't have the strength now."
Fang Qize had a confident tone and lightly grabbed Lu Boyan's hand holding the knife. Lu Boyan tried to pull away twice, but found that he was using less and less strength.
Han Ruoxi came over and snatched the knife from Lu Boyan's hand: "Stop talking nonsense and take him down!"
Lu Boyan's dizziness became more and more serious, and all his strength was lost. He thought of making a phone call.
But even if the phone was in his coat pocket, even if he could get it, he might not be able to see clearly what was displayed on the screen.
Han Ruoxi and Fang Qize took Lu Boyan out of the hotel in a grand manner, and no one noticed anything unusual on the way.
In a place like this where social gatherings happen every day, the number of drunk guests who need help to walk can range from 100 to 80 every day. Lu Boyan's demeanor looked like he was extremely drunk, so naturally no waiter asked more questions.
After leaving the hotel, a gust of cold wind hit him. Lu Boyan regained his consciousness and grabbed Han Ruoxi's hand: "Aren't you afraid of being banned?"
Han Ruoxi smiled: "I'm not afraid. Even if you don't ban me when you wake up tomorrow, I will be banned one day."
The moment she made the deal with Kang Ruicheng, she had already given up.
After getting in the car, Lu Boyan gradually could no longer stay awake and his mind became increasingly dizzy.
The moment before he lost consciousness, what appeared in his mind was Su Jianan's face, and he unconsciously murmured her name:
"Jian An..."
Han Ruoxi didn't hear clearly for a moment and asked Fang Qize, "What did he say?"
Fang Qize heard it clearly and said hesitantly: "It seems like he was calling his wife's name."
Han Ruoxi's expression changed, her beautiful face twisted like a poisonous snake.
But in the next second, all her resentment turned into a sneer that escaped from her throat—
At this time, I was still thinking about Su Jianan.
Haha, he would never guess that this idea came from Su Jianan!
An hour later, the car stopped in front of a villa in the suburbs. Han Ruoxi got out of the car first and opened the door. Fang Qize then sent Lu Boyan, who had fallen into a coma, to the master bedroom on the second floor.
Looking at the unconscious man on the bed, Han Ruoxi smiled, closed the door, turned to Fang Qize and said, "Thank you."
Fang Qize took off his glasses: "I've helped you such a big favor, and what I want is not just a thank you."
"I know." Han Ruoxi said, "Don't worry, someone will deliver your things to your apartment tomorrow. However, you should take it easy and don't ruin your bright future."
Fang Qize smiled and glanced meaningfully at the cigarette in Han Ruoxi's hand: "You should keep this for yourself."
Han Ruoxi's expression changed: "What do you mean?"
"Stop pretending." Fang Qize nodded his chin towards Han Ruoxi's cigarette case, "You're obviously touching it too, so why bother pretending? Don't worry, I won't tell your secrets. If we have a chance, let's do it together."
The manager didn't even notice this about her, but Fang Qize had already noticed it
Han Ruoxi glared at Fang Qize, but the young man waved to her with ease and said goodbye, turned around and went downstairs.
After a while, Han Ruoxi returned to the room after calming down her breathing.
Lu Boyan was lying on the bed, sleeping deeply, without any of his usual coldness and alienation, more like a tired person returning home to rest.
Han Ruoxi had the illusion that Lu Boyan had always been here and lived with her.
She sat on the edge of the bed, leaned down and lay on Lu Boyan's chest.
After knowing him for so many years and admiring him for so many years, it was the first time that he was so close to this man, and he didn't push her away.
In my heart, I was actually satisfied.
Han Ruoxi stretched out her hand and hugged Lu Boyan greedily. She didn't know whether it was because there was too much movement or because Lu Boyan was too alert. He moved and seemed to wake up. His voice was a little weak:
"Jian An?"
Han Ruoxi didn't dare to say anything and just hugged him tightly. Lu Boyan's consciousness was not clear enough, and he might have mistaken her for Su Jian'an, so he groped and hugged her.
But the moment he met Han Ruoxi, Lu Boyan suddenly realized something was wrong. He opened his eyes and saw clearly the woman leaning on him.
He frowned, pushed with all his strength, and the unprepared Han Ruoxi fell down.
He stood up, but he didn't expect that this action had exhausted all his strength, and he fell onto the bed again.
Han Ruoxi got up and looked at Lu Boyan sadly: "Are you so unwilling to get close to me?"
Lu Boyan's eyes were as cold as a knife: "Get out!"
Han Ruoxi pulled off Lu Boyan's tie: "I advise you not to waste your efforts anymore. The effect of the medicine will only get stronger and stronger. You won't have the strength to leave here until dawn tomorrow."
She took her clothes and went into the bathroom. Lu Boyan lifted the quilt and sat up. After resting for a while, he gradually gained some strength and got out of bed without hesitation.
But that little strength was not enough for him to walk twenty steps, and he fell at the door of the room.
The moment before his consciousness became blurred again, he saw the clock on the wall showing ten o'clock.
At this time, Jian An is waiting for him to come home... (To be continued)
