Zhang Danqing said to Ji Guanxin: "You haven't got your things back yet?"

Ji Guanxin said: "Not yet."

Mak Jiahui snorted, and then said: "Jian Chengli is deliberately going against you. I'm holding back this time to be a big exclusive."

Zhang Danqing frowned and said: "This news must not be revealed, otherwise how can Mengyi hold her head high and be a good person in the future?"

Mak Ka-fai also said: "Jian Chengli, that kid, got rid of the shame. Guan Xin wanted to have an easy talk with him, and he even made it known."

Zhang Danqing said: "If it doesn't work, just do it secretly. Didn't you find out the information about the reporter who was following and filming?"

Cheng Lin interrupted: "Don't think too hard. The reporter took the photo, but now it must be in Jian Chengli's hands. If you go to that reporter rashly, be careful that Jian Chengli turns around and bites us." "

Zhang Danqing raised his eyebrows. He said with an unhappy look: "Then just keep going like this? Who knows when this news will break out."

Just as he was talking, there were a few knocks on the door, and the boss opened the door and came in, smiling and saying: "I'm here to bring you drinks."

Ji Guanxin smiled: "Thank you, boss."

The boss smiled and said: "Hey. We are all old acquaintances. Have you placed an order? If not, I will write it for you."

Ji Guanxin said: "I just got off."

"Okay, you guys wait for a while, I'll go out and urge you."

The boss said hello to several people. Turn around and walk out. Ji Guanxin accidentally raised his eyes. I happened to follow the open door and saw a familiar figure standing outside.

It's Lu Yao.

Ji Guanxin recognized her at a glance. Lu Yao didn't look towards him, but was talking to Xu Yingjia beside her.

"Wait a moment… "

The boss had already reached the door, but was stopped by Ji Guanxin.

Turning around, the boss looked at Ji Guanxin with a hint of questioning in his eyes.

Ji Guanxin raised his chin, his eyes fell on Lu Yao outside, then he opened his lips and said, "Are those two people just here?"

The boss turned his head and glanced, then said: "There is another boy outside. They came together as three of them, and they are also regular customers. What, do you know each other?"

Ji Guanxin raised the corners of his lips and smiled.

In front of the Wanglaowu Hotel, Lu Yao, Xu Yingjia and Zhan Bai sat down around a small rectangular table. In the summer, the guests who come here are happy to sit outside. There is wind and it is more comfortable than air conditioning.

Within a few minutes, the clerk came over with two trays full of meat skewers. She said: "This side is spicy, this side is not spicy."

Lu Yao said 'thank you', then picked up the non-spicy one and started eating.

The three of them were talking and laughing. After a while, the clerk brought a large tray over. When he put it on the table, he discovered that it was a seafood platter. The bottom layer was spicy crayfish, and the upper layer was spicy crab. Further up are squid, mussels, prawns, sea snails, etc.

The bottom of the plate was full of red oil, which made Lu Yao's scalp stand up.

The waiter said: "There will be another grilled fish soon, please wait a moment."

Both Zhan Bai and Xu Yingjia were surprised. The latter said, "Huh? Waiter, it must be the wrong order. We didn't order seafood."

When the waiter heard this, he was stunned for a moment, then took out the order from his pocket and said, "That's right, it's the order placed by your table."

Xu Yingjia said: "No, there is someone at our table who is allergic to seafood and fish, and cannot eat spicy food. It was not our order."

The person Xu Yingjia was talking about was Lu Yao. She was born with allergies and could not eat many things.

Seeing the waiter confused, after all, this large seafood platter is not cheap.

Zhan Bai kindly reminded: "We haven't moved either. Ask the boss if it was ordered by another table and placed the wrong order?"

The waiter immediately ran to find the boss. Lu Yao didn't dare to look at the large plate of red oil seafood on the table. She felt itchy all over now.

Soon, the boss came with the waiter. Xu Yingjia said: "Boss, did you place the wrong order? We didn't order seafood. She also said there was grilled fish, and we didn't order grilled fish either."

The boss smiled and said: "The guests at the private room added the dishes for you, and the orders have already been purchased."

As soon as these words came out, the three people at the table were surprised.

Xu Yingjia asked: "Who is it?"

The boss said: "I said I know Lu Yao."

Xu Yingjia and Zhan Bai looked at Lu Yao at the same time, while Lu Yao's face was blank.

Zhan Bai said: "Don't you go and see who it is?"

Of course Lu Yao wanted to go, she couldn't eat other people's food for no reason.

She immediately stood up and walked into the store, came to the private room door, reached out and knocked on the door.

"Come in." It was a man's voice.

Lu Yao pushed the door open and walked in. The first familiar face she saw was Mai Jiahui. He sat near the door and turned to smile at her: "Hi."

Her eyes quickly swept across Mai Jiahui's face. She raised her eyes and met the face of the man sitting in the middle of the round table.

Ji Guanxin had a nice smile on his fair and handsome face, and with his lips parted, he said aloud: "Miss Jian, what a coincidence, you come here to eat too?"

Lu Yao felt tens of thousands of grass and mud horses galloping past. There was even a moment when she felt that Ji Guanxin was following her, right

Otherwise, Night City is so big, how could she meet him wherever she goes

Ji Guanxin saw Lu Yao's uncontrollable frown. He smiled and said, "I didn't want to disturb you and your friends for dinner, so I didn't go out to say hello."

Lu Yao stood at the door, suppressing the instinctive rejection in her heart. She tried her best to reply calmly: "Mr. Ji, you are very polite. Thank you for ordering seafood and grilled fish for us, but I am allergic and cannot eat them. I appreciate your kindness. I called The clerk brought the things to you, but we didn’t touch a bite.”

She told the truth, but Ji Guanxin didn't believe it and thought she was deliberately prevaricating.

The corner of his lips curled up, with a slight smile on his face, but his tone was helpless: "Miss Jian seems to have some objections to me. You always exclude me intentionally. Did I accidentally do something to misunderstand Miss Jian?" Something? If so, please let Ms. Jian know."

Lu Yao snorted in her heart, what else could she say to a scumbag who was trying to steal someone else's corner

With a faint smile, she replied aloud: "Mr. Ji is too worried. I have no objection to you."

Ji Guanxin said: "Really? Then why do I show my kindness to Miss Jian many times, but Miss Jian always refuses me thousands of miles away?"

Lu Yao replied: "I won't beat around the bush in front of Mr. Ji. I said that I don't want to get involved in any official interests and disputes between you and my brother, and I can't help Mr. Ji, so I still I hope Mr. Ji can be more noble in the future and stop playing tricks on me.”

After she finished speaking, a playful smile appeared on Ji Guanxin's face: "Where did Miss Jian come from? I have never even touched your hand."

After he finished speaking, Zhang Danqing and Mai Jiahui both looked at Lu Yao with colored eyes. Although it was a joke, it made her feel uncomfortable.

Lu Yao couldn't afford to offend Ji Guanxin, so she didn't dare to get angry if she wanted to, so she could only reply with a smile: "I have sent the money to Mr. Ji's company today, you can check it later. Later I will ask someone to bring your order back. I hope that from now on, Mr. Ji and I will not owe each other anything."

Hearing this, Zhang Danqing couldn't help but raise his eyebrows and said, "Guan Xin, what on earth have you done to Miss Jian? Look, I'm so frightened that I'm so anxious to get along with you."

Ji Guanxin pretended to look aggrieved and helpless, and said with a wry smile: "Miss Jian is the first woman in her life who has recharged my phone bill. I just wanted to thank her and give her some money, but she ended up charging me some money." The money was sent back to me again. "It's still nine thousand nine hundred and fifty-six yuan, and I really don't want to owe him a dime.

Zhang Danqing looked at Lu Yao and said with a smile: "Miss Jian, why are you so out of touch? We have met several times, so we are friends, right?"

Lu Yao smiled lightly and replied: "These are all well-known figures in Night City. I don't dare to rise above them." After that, without waiting for others to say anything, she just stared at Ji Guanxin's face and said directly: "I'll trouble Mr. Ji later." Don’t recharge my phone bill casually. If you recharge next time, I will have to give you the phone card.”

After saying that, she took a step back, closed the door, and walked away without looking back.

In the private room, Ji Guanxin was the first to laugh out loud. Mak Ka Fai couldn't help but laugh and said: "Seeing how you are being bullied, I want to turn around and leave when I see you."

Ji Guanxin was overjoyed: "I helped her pay dozens of yuan for the car fare, and she turned around and charged me 100 yuan for the phone bill. Hahaha... I haven't had anyone charge the phone bill for many years."

It can be said that since Ji Guanxin has a mobile phone, he has never experienced what it feels like when his mobile phone is shut down. His phone bill is like air, inexhaustible. So when Lu Yao recharged his phone bill, he felt... how should I put it, weird and funny, and he laughed for a long time.

Zhang Danqing also found it interesting and said while laughing: "Jian Luyao's personality is really not like that of her brother. She is much more pleasing to the eye than Jian Chengli."

Ji Guanxin said subconsciously: "Her surname is Lu, not Jian."

"Um?"

Everyone was stunned, and Ji Guanxin replied calmly: "She came to Jian's family later. Her mother married Jian Chengli's father and started a family."

Mak Jiahui nodded: "No wonder, these few times I saw her, she dressed like an ordinary student. If she was really a member of Jian's family, she wouldn't dress so plainly."

Originally he wanted to use the word shabby, but then he thought, Lu Yao is good-looking. Good looks means simple, and ugly means shabby.

Zhang Danqing said: "You know her surname is Lu, why did you deliberately call her Miss Jian?"

Ji Guanxin replied without thinking: "Who makes her brother so annoying? Jian Chengli made me unhappy. Of course I have to make their family feel happy."

Zhang Danqing and Mai Jiahui both couldn't hold back and laughed helplessly.

Cheng Lin, who rarely spoke, shook his head and said: "You know that they are not biological brothers and sisters, but you still harm others like this. Isn't this harming others and not benefiting yourself?"

Zhang Danqing said with a smile: "He is a man whose nature is hard to change."

Mak Jiahui said: "I feel so sorry for Jian Luyao, no, it's Lu Yao."
