While thinking about how to reply, Tang Jie's phone came in in a hurry.

"Lu Yan, I just got off the plane."

Lu Yan said lazily, "Oh, are you finally willing to come back?"

"Don't say anything else, let me tell you, do you know that Jiang Chengyi is back in City S? He will come to the alumni party tonight. Didn't you see Ding Jing's message in the group?"

Hearing the name Jiang Chengyi, Lu Yan paused.

Although Tang Jie's personality is stubborn, her heart is not rough at all, she immediately noticed it, and hurriedly said, "Don't talk yet, I know what you will say - 'This is not easy, if you don't go, it will be over'. "

Lu Yan rolled her eyes secretly, worthy of her many years of losing friends.

She cleared her throat calmly, and said another way: "I really can't go tonight. The boss just assigned me a paper. I have to hurry up and check the information."

Tang Jie said leisurely: "Actually, the class reunion is held every year, and it's okay to be absent once in a while, but your excuse is usually perfunctory, but not tonight. You know, Ding Jing actually used the banner of the eighth anniversary of her graduation, The principal of No. 7 Middle School was invited to attend, including several class teachers of our class. Since last month, Ding Jing and her group have taken turns to shout in the alumni group. Everyone should make arrangements in advance, and no one is allowed to be absent. ."

Is there something about it? Lu Yan was at a loss.

She added several groups on WeChat, most of which were pulled in without her knowledge, only to find out later. She was too busy, except for those few work-related groups, she basically did not appear in other groups.

She knew about the high school alumni group that Tang Jie mentioned. Ding Jing is the group leader, and the group is very lively. In one day, the news can accumulate to hundreds or thousands, and it hurts to look at it any more. She has no time to turn around and chat. Record.

"Last week, Teacher Zhou was still inquiring about you in the group. I knew you were busy, so I came back for you and said that you would definitely go. He was very happy to hear that. His old man was recovering from a serious illness, and it was rare for him to come out to get together with us. When you are studying and attaching so much importance to you, you are always embarrassed not to go."

Lu Yan ruffled her messy hair and said nothing.

Ms. Zhou was her class teacher in high school. She got thyroid cancer last year and underwent surgery in the First Affiliated Hospital. She had not graduated yet. For Ms. Zhou, she specially asked her tutor Yu Bo to do the anesthesia personally. After she was discharged from the hospital, Mr. Zhou recuperated at home. Basically in semi-retirement.

After all, the teachers and students have not seen each other for almost half a year.

She hesitated for a moment, then pressed the speakerphone button and got up.

Going to the bathroom, she squeezed out the toothpaste and began to brush her teeth in the mirror.

On the phone, Tang Jie continued: "It's not yet five o'clock, the party is scheduled for Jinhai ktv, I'm still on the way back from the airport, and I'll go into the city right away. I've explained the cause and effect to you clearly, Ding Jing probably has it this time. Come prepared, you can decide whether to go or not. If you go, give me a call back, and I will drive to your house to pick you up. "

An hour later, Lu Yan saw Tang Jie and her black SUV at the entrance of the alley.

After going out for more than a month, Tang Jie tanned quite a bit, and a honey-colored radiance spread all over her body, and her white teeth were dazzlingly bright when she smiled.

"Well, for you." Tang Jie handed her a shopping bag from a duty-free shop, which contained a set of skin care products, which happened to be the brand Lu Yan usually used.

"Thank you so much for your help." Lu Yan took it with a smile and got into the passenger cab. She and Tang Jie got along so well that they could wear the same pair of trousers, and it was common to send gifts to each other.

The two were not only high school classmates, but also university alumni, but she was enrolled in an eight-year program at the time, while Tang Jie chose a five-year dental major because of insufficient scores.

After graduating from her undergraduate degree, Tang Jie did not continue the postgraduate entrance examination, but took a one-year class in a municipal dental hospital and successfully passed the dental license.

After that, Tang Jie's wealthy father simply registered a private dental hospital in Tang Jie's name, and hired several retired dental professors. Due to proper management, in the past few years, Tang Jie has several branches under his name, and the income is increasing day by day.

When she has nothing to do, Tang Jie's greatest pleasure is to run around the world.

Lu Yan often sighs that Jia Baoyu's famous theory of "rich, noble and idle people" in A Dream of Red Mansions can be used to describe Tang Jie.

The two fastened their seat belts, and Tang Jie looked at her watch: "There are 20 minutes left, it's too late."

Lu Yan was not in high spirits, so she hummed, the heater in the car was turned on too high, and it was hot on her face, so she took off the honey-brown cashmere coat on her body.

Tang Jie turned her head and stared deeply at Lu Yan's every move. After hearing the news that her ex-boyfriend had returned to S City, the guy's reaction was a little too calm.

Inside Lu Yan's coat is a black turtleneck sweater. The clothes are very close to the body, and the slim lines of the upper body are perfectly presented. There are no extra decorations on the whole body, except for a pair of small diamonds on the earlobes, which are dazzling and dazzling, reflecting Lu Yan's appearance. A delicate face.

"Why are you staring at me so hungry?" Lu Yan noticed that Tang Jie was looking at her, she was a little guilty, and she deliberately acted vigilant.

Tang Jie turned the steering wheel, drove the car out of the parking space, and changed the subject: "I was thinking, how did you manage to be so glorious without sex."

Lu Yan replied with a mysterious Mona Lisa smile: "Isn't there a chance to know when I get back to being single?"

Tang Jie: "..."

It was during the rush hour, and the roads were unusually blocked. Lu Yan was talking to Tang Jie, and suddenly remembered about Wang Qianqian, and hurriedly took out her mobile phone.

I couldn't get in touch last night, there should be news today.

She found Wang Qianqian's name in the address book and dialed it.

After a brief blank, the call went through quickly.

She breathed a sigh of relief and waited patiently for Wang Qianqian to answer the phone.

"Do you think we should call Teacher Zhou and the others ahead of time?" Tang Jie said suddenly.

The road conditions are getting more and more complicated, and if the traffic goes on like this, they will definitely be late.

Lu Yan nodded with her earphone on, and was about to say, "Wait for me to finish this call." Who knew that at this moment, a busy tone came from the microphone.

Before she could respond, the phone was cut off abruptly.

She was stunned for a moment, thinking about whether to go back, when a WeChat message came in suddenly.

[Doctor Xiao Lu, it is not convenient for me to answer the phone now. 】

The tone was exactly the same as Wang Qianqian's usual speech, followed by an apology emoji.

Jinhai ktv is located on Yaju Road, which is only one road away from the No. 7 Middle School of its alma mater. Based on the principle of proximity, it is chosen here for the annual reunion of classmates.

Lu Yan and Lu Yan sat in the car, and they could see the neon lights flashing at the entrance of the KTV from a distance. The whole building was a huge three-story glass building.

As soon as the car drove in, the security guard ran over and led them to the parking lot at the back. After parking, they thoughtfully opened the car door for Lu Yan and Tang Jie. The one-stop service was extremely thoughtful.

It was rumored that the behind-the-scenes boss of Jinhai was Japanese, and Lu Yan deeply felt that this news would never be groundless.

Passing through the parking lot, the two circled to the front of the KTV building and walked inside.

There was an endless stream of guests at the door, but at a glance, all of them were unfamiliar, and none of them were classmates from No. 7 Middle School.

The two of them knew that although they hurried, they were still a few minutes late. It was estimated that after entering, they would have to be fined a few glasses of apology wine.

In the elevator, the waiter pressed the button for the third floor.

The elevator has three floors and is surrounded by round glass. People in the elevator can easily see the parking lot behind.

Just at this moment, two cars came in from the parking lot. The speed was very slow, but they were not far from each other, and they were biting tightly one after the other.

While the two were talking, they stared outside unconsciously, but at this moment, an unexpected scene happened.

The car in front was driving, suddenly stopped, and then, without warning, slammed into the car behind.

"I++, what's the situation." Tang Jie was extremely excited and stared at the two cars.

Lu Yan was also taken aback.

What was even more unexpected was that after the collision, the black Land Rover in front did not mean to give up at all, but made a "bang" sound, the door closed, and a young man in a black jacket came down, who held the One thing pointed straight at the owner of the car behind.

Looking at the scene in front of her, Lu Yan was so surprised that she was speechless, because not only did she find the man's figure very familiar, but after a brief stupor, she quickly recognized that the thing in the man's hand turned out to be a gun.

It's a pity that I haven't had time to confirm it carefully. With a "ding-" sound, the third floor has arrived.
