Lu Yao thought desperately. She couldn't just stand there and wait for death. She must think of a way to help Jian Chengli. If you want to help Jian Chengli. First, we must meet Ji Guanxin.
But Ji Guanxin deliberately didn't see her. Night City is so big, where can she find him
For some reason, the words 'Liang Zijin' suddenly popped into Lu Yao's mind. Maybe Ji Guanxin told her that he was angry with a woman, and she also thought that this woman was Liang Zijin.
Lu Yao took out her mobile phone. Flicking through the phone blog with trembling fingers. When she saw Liang Zijin's name. I couldn't tell whether I was worried or happy.
The only time she met Liang Zijin was in Japan three and a half years ago. She gave her a stone bracelet for free. Liang Zijin exchanged phone numbers with her.
Lu Yao didn't know until she returned to China. It turns out that Liang Zijin is Luo Xiangdong’s girlfriend. Later the two got married.
Lu Yao was not a sociable person to begin with, let alone after Liang Zijin became Mrs. Luo. Too many people wanted to curry favor, and Lu Yao had nothing to do with her. So we have never contacted each other in the past few years.
Now look at this phone number. Lu Yao was really not sure what the outcome would be after this call was made.
But when a person is cornered, even if it is a one in ten thousand chance, he still has to give it a try.
With a tap of your fingertips, the phone showed that it was connecting. Lu Yao put the phone to her ear. After the phone rang a few times, it was connected. A strange man's voice came from inside: "Hello."
Lu Yao's heart suddenly lifted, and she asked nervously: "Is this Liang Zijin's phone number?"
The man's deep and sweet voice came from inside: "Yes, please wait a moment."
Not long after, a female voice came from the phone: "Hello?"
Lu Yao wanted to cry inexplicably. She didn't know whether it was because she had too much weight in her heart or because she finally contacted Liang Zijin.
After her throat was choked up, Lu Yao forced herself to calm down and said: "Hello, Miss Liang, I am Lu Yao. You went to Japan with Mr. Luo three and a half years ago, and we met in a jewelry store in Tokyo. ”
Lu Yao was afraid that Liang Zijin would no longer remember her, so she had to describe it in as much detail as possible for the future.
Unexpectedly, Liang Zijin's excited and happy voice came from the mobile phone. She said: "Lu Yao, I remember you. You also gave me a string of stone bracelets at that time. We agreed to contact each other when we returned to China. Look at me. Remember, I have been pregnant for three years. What are you doing now? How are you doing back home? "
Compared to Lu Yao's trepidation, Liang Zijin was obviously much more warm and relaxed, like an old friend he hadn't seen for many years.
The tears that Lu Yao had been holding back finally fell at this moment. She gritted her teeth and whispered: "Miss Liang, I want to ask you for a favor."
Liang Zijin heard something was wrong in Lu Yao's voice. She paused and then said, "What's wrong?"
Lu Yao said: "I want to find Ji Guanxin for something, but I can't contact him. Can you help me find him? I really need to see him."
Liang Zijin agreed happily: "Okay, just wait for me for a while, and I'll call him."
Lu Yao hung up the phone. Although her face was expressionless, her tears couldn't stop falling.
Time passed by, and after about ten minutes, Liang Zijin called. Lu Yao answered immediately: "Miss Liang..."
"Lu Yao, Ji Guanxin asked you to go to Bibo Tower to find him, upstairs at 777."
Lu Yao, as if she was saved from a desperate situation, kept saying: "Thank you, thank you Miss Liang."
Liang Zijin said: "Don't worry. If you have anything to do, go to him first. We will contact him later."
Lu Yao really didn't expect that the person she met by chance three and a half years ago would be such a big help to her three and a half years later. But now it was too late for her to think about how to thank Liang Zijin in the future. She got up and left the bedroom and walked quickly downstairs.
Jian Beibei and Du Hui had been fighting each other in the afternoon. Now they both went back to their rooms, and there was no one in the living room. Lu Yao put on her shoes and ran out quickly. When she passed the garage, she saw a number of private cars parked side by side inside. One of the minis was given to her by Jian Chengli, but she had never driven it.
Now, in a hurry, Lu Yao ran to the garage and drove out.
Arriving all the way to Bibo Tower, Lu Yao got out of the car and walked into the hotel. This is one of the most famous seafood restaurants in Night City. As soon as you enter the lobby, the entire wall on the right is an aquarium as tall as a person, with all kinds of seafood swimming in it. Lu Yao has a seafood allergy and feels uncomfortable even if she doesn't eat or even look at it.
A waiter came forward to greet me: "Hello, Miss, how can I help you?"
Lu Yao said, "I'm looking for someone. Where is room 777?"
"Go up to the left hand side of the third floor, the innermost private room."
"Thanks."
Lu Yao didn't even take the elevator. She ran straight up to the third floor and came to the door of private room No. 777. She took a breath first and then reached out and knocked on the door.
"Come in." A man's voice came from inside.
When Lu Yao pushed the door in, she heard a group of people laughing and talking. Her appearance made everyone across the round table look up.
The man sitting in the middle opposite is none other than Ji Guanxin.
When Ji Guanxin saw Lu Yao, her face that was originally full of smiles faded slightly, and a pair of dark eyes stared at her meaningfully.
There were familiar faces at the table, such as Zhang Danqing, Mak Ka Fai and Cheng Lin.
When Zhang Danqing saw Lu Yao, he couldn't help but raise his eyes and said, "Okay, I'm quite capable. I've already called Liang Zijin."
Lu Yao stood at the door, motionless.
Mak Ka Fai said with a smile: "Call Liang Zijin to find Guan Xin, haha... This is really amazing, thank you for thinking it out."
There was someone at the table who didn't know Lu Yao. Seeing this, he couldn't help but look surprised and asked in a low voice, "Who is this? Third brother's new girlfriend?"
Zhang Danqing and others all smiled and said nothing, their eyes filled with amusement and narrow-mindedness.
In the end, Ji Guanxin looked at Lu Yao and said lukewarmly: "You put so much effort into looking for me. If you don't know, you would think you are me. Come in, why are you poking at the door?"
Lu Yao took two steps inside. The people closest to her didn't know what was going on, so they instinctively got up and made room for her. Ji Guanxin said, "Sit down."
Lu Yao only had Ji Guanxin in her eyes. She looked at him and whispered, "Can you give me some time?"
The corners of Ji Guanxin's lips curved slightly and he said, "I've let you come, what else can't I give you?"
Lu Yao said: "I have something I want to talk to you alone."
Ji Guanxin smiled, with an intriguing smile on his face.
Zhang Danqing smiled and said: "Sister, is there anything you can't say in front of us?"
Mak Ka Fai said from the side: "Did Guan Xin do something to make you sorry? If you have anything to say, just say it and we will make the decision for you."
The few people at the table who didn't know what was going on finally came to their senses, with expressions of sudden realization on their faces: "Ah, it turns out it's my sister-in-law."
"Sister-in-law, come and sit down. It's our first time meeting you. I'm Xiaofeng..."
Several young men at the table greeted Lu Yao with a smile, but her expression became worse and worse. The hands hanging by his sides wanted to clenched into fists, but they had to hold back. Ji Guanxin sees all these small details.
Lifting his chin, he said calmly: "Sit down. If you have anything to say, please finish your meal first."
Xiaofeng gave up a seat to Lu Yao, and Lu Yao sat down stiffly. Someone next to her immediately handed her tableware, and someone else asked: "Does sister-in-law drink?"
Before Lu Yao could answer, Ji Guanxin had already spoken before her: "Pour some for her. She has a good drinking capacity."
"Sister-in-law and white wine or red wine?"
Zhang Danqing saw the excitement and didn't think it was a big deal: "Everyone drank, no one was left behind."
Xiaofeng poured Lu Yao a glass of red wine. Zhang Danqing raised his glass and said with a smile: "Come on, let's go."
Everyone raised their glasses, including Ji Guanxin. Under his gaze, Lu Yao raised her hand, picked up the goblet and a glass of red wine in front of her, and drank it all.
She knew that if she wanted to talk to Ji Guanxin, this unbearable prelude was inevitable. Instead of talking nonsense, she might as well do it. Maybe he would be happy and she would be able to handle things more smoothly today.
The wine glass in front of her was empty, and Xiaofeng immediately picked up the red wine bottle to pour it for her. Mak Ka Fai said: "It's all white. I'll have a drink with the girl."
Xiaofeng poured a third of the liquor into it. Zhang Danqing frowned and said, "It's not you who invited me to this meal. How can you save money on the drink? It's full."
Xiaofeng raised his eyes and looked at Ji Guanxin's face. Seeing that he was always smiling and not saying anything, he poured a full glass of white wine for Lu Yao.
Mai Jiahui picked up the wine glass, looked at Lu Yao with a smile, and said: "Sister, I just said that we are destined, and sooner or later we have to sit at the same table. Come, let me toast you with this glass of wine."
Mak Ka Fai said it was a glass, but in fact his glass was only a quarter full of wine. He raised his head and did it, and everyone looked at Lu Yao. Lu Yao remained silent. She brought the wine glass to her lips, tilted her head and drank it all.
She almost never drinks. Even if she wants to drink away her sorrows, she drinks beer. The taste of the liquor was too strong, and she drank it in a hurry. When she lowered her head, tears welled up in her eyes.
Seeing this, a discerning person will know that the relationship between Ji Guanxin and Lu Yao is 'unusual'. Normally, this kind of drama of falling in love and wanting to kill each other is just about watching a man and woman compete with each other. People next to you must not interfere with it. , otherwise when the two of them get back together again, the person who caused trouble around him will be dead.
Xiaofeng regretted sitting next to Lu Yao so much. When he saw her coming in, he drank two glasses of wine, white mixed with red. Who knew what he would do later. Standing up, he said wisely: "I'm going to the bathroom."
Originally, this was what the person on the other side of Lu Yao wanted to say, but Xiaofeng beat him to it, so he had to secretly say that he was too slow to speak.
Drinking too quickly caused Lu Yao to have a slight tinnitus. She sat motionless on the chair, as if the soldiers would come and cover her up with water and earth.
Wasn't he just trying to get her to drink? As long as he felt happy, she didn't care.
Ji Guanxin also saw what Lu Yao was thinking from her stubborn eyes. After all this, why are you still challenging him
Xiaofeng had just stepped out. Not long after, there was a knock on the door and a waiter came in pushing a dining cart to take away the food.
All kinds of lobsters, abalones, crabs and shellfish soon filled the table.
Ji Guanxin smiled and said, "You're all here, let's eat together. Don't say I'm mean to you and make you hungry."
