Zhan Bai helped Lu Yao drag the suitcase and walked in the front, while Xu Yingjia and Lu Yao walked behind. The three of them walked out of KFC together, and there was a pure white champagne-colored sports car parked on the side of the road. Zhan Bai put the suitcase under the seat. Then he said: "You two take a taxi, I will follow."
Lu Yao and Xu Yingjia called a taxi and sat in the back seat. Xu Yingjia did not mention the names of Ji Guanxin and Jian Chengli. He just asked Lu Yao: "Is your brother's matter related to him?"
Lu Yao didn't want Xu Yingjia to get involved, after all, she knew Ji Guanxin's methods. So she whispered back: "Don't ask."
The more she said this, the more anxious and worried Xu Yingjia became. She frowned and lowered her voice and said, "It's a good thing you didn't go back to school. There was a lot of noise in the school. Zhan Bai almost got into a fight with a gossip yesterday."
When Lu Yao heard this, she couldn't help but said aloud: "You stop him, don't let him fight."
Xu Yingjia said: "I'm still stopping you? If someone hadn't stopped me at that time, I would have gone up and beaten him. Those talkative women are like rain after hearing the wind. It's like they haven't spoken to each other before they were reincarnated in this life, so just beat him!" "
Lu Yao didn't need to listen to know what those people were saying behind her back.
Jian Chengli also graduated from Ye Da. Her relationship with Jian Chengli was not airtight, and everyone passed the news on to each other. It is estimated that everyone in the school now knows that she "sells her brother for glory".
Lowering her gaze slightly, Lu Yao said: "I can't go back to school recently. You should pay more attention to Zhan Bai and don't join in fanning the flames. Those people don't need to pay attention to them."
Xu Yingjia asked: "How long until you can go back to school?"
Lu Yao whispered: "Wait for him to be released."
Xu Yingjia knew who this 'him' was referring to. She approached Lu Yao and whispered, "How is it? Have you seen anyone?"
Lu Yao shook her head. From the time Jian Chengli's accident happened until now, no one in the family has been able to see him, and they don't know how he is doing now.
When Xu Yingjia saw this, she couldn't help but sigh. She was so frightened that she almost rolled off her bed when she heard the news, not to mention Lu Yao's mood. She probably wanted to die.
The taxi drove all the way to the gate of a certain community, and Xu Yingjia and Lu Yao got off one after another. Zhan Bai's car was following behind. He got out of the car, took out his suitcase, walked up to the two of them, and said, "I'll take you up."
On the way to the community, the three of them were silent. Zhan Bai didn't ask anything.
It wasn't until he reached the door of the building that Zhan Bai handed over the suitcase and said, "You guys go back, I won't go up."
Lu Yao said: "When will you go back to school tomorrow?"
Xu Yingjia said: "You are busy with your business, don't worry about us two, we can go back anytime."
Zhan Bai handed his mobile phone to Lu Yao: "You use mine first. This will save us from being unable to contact you, and you won't be able to find us if something happens."
Lu Yao was not polite to Zhan Bai. She took the phone and said, "It's too late. You should go back to bed early. I'll talk to you in detail after I finish my busy work these days."
Zhan Bai responded and watched Lu Yao and Xu Yingjia go upstairs before turning and leaving.
In the middle of the night, Xu Yingjia took out the key and opened the door. Although she did it gently, she still woke up her mother.
Xu's mother walked out of the master bedroom in her pajamas. When she saw the two people at the entrance, she said in surprise: "Oh, why are you two back?"
Xu Yingjia lied without batting an eyelid and replied loudly: "Mom, there is something going on at school, so we were asked to come back temporarily to get the materials."
Xu's mother came over and was surprised when she looked at the suitcase in Lu Yao's hand.
Just as Lu Yao was about to speak, Xu Yingjia spoke before her: "Mom, Yaoyao has been living in our house recently. I won't tell you. She is already interning now. Our house is close to her place of work. I won't let her." It’s been a lot of back and forth.”
Xu's mother said repeatedly: "Okay, okay, we have a place to stay at home, come in quickly."
Lu Yao looked apologetic: "Auntie, I'm sorry to bother you."
Xu's mother smiled and said, "It's okay. Jiajia's father goes on a business trip. She doesn't usually live at home. I'm the only one at home. I'm still scared. It's just right for you to accompany me."
After Xu Yingjia and Lu Yao entered, Xu's mother walked to the kitchen and said, "Yao Yao, do you want a drink or water? I'll get you some fruit to eat."
Lu Yao said quickly: "Auntie, stop being busy, I don't want anything."
After saying that, she scolded Xu Yingjia next to her. Xu Yingjia said loudly: "Mom, you don't need to prepare. Yaoyao and I are going to bed."
"Ah? Don't you want to eat something?" Xu's mother had already brought out drinks and fruit plates from the kitchen.
Lu Yao was very embarrassed and said: "Auntie, you are so polite, I can't stay here anymore."
Xu's mother put down her things, patted Lu Yao's arm, and said with a smile: "Why are you so polite to Auntie? I'm happy that you come to stay."
After Lu Yao chatted with Xu's mother for a few words, Xu Yingjia said, "Mom, go to bed quickly. We are going back to the house."
The three of them said good night to each other, and Xu Yingjia took Lu Yao's suitcase and took her back to the second bedroom.
Lu Yao had a good relationship with Xu Yingjia, and this was not the first time she came to her house. After entering the room and closing the door, she sat on the edge of the bed, feeling exhausted and not even having the strength to stand up.
Xu Yingjia said: "You don't have to think about anything. Just stay at my house. My mother is definitely easier to get along with than Jian Beibei."
Lu Yao propped up her thighs with her elbows and buried her face in her hands, looking as if she was too tired to speak.
Xu Yingjia opened Lu Yao's suitcase and helped her pack her clothes. Seeing the two medicine bags on the top of the suitcase, she raised her eyebrows and said, "Why are you still taking Chinese medicine?"
Lu Yao raised her head and whispered: "Allergy, the doctor prescribed it."
Xu Yingjia said: "What are you allergic to? Seafood or chili?"
Lu Yao said: "Eat them all."
Xu Yingjia frowned. Lu Yao had always been careful in this regard and nothing like this had happened in several years.
Just when she was about to ask what was going on, Lu Yao had already replied before her: "It's a small matter, I'll put a basin of water in, and it'll be fine after a while."
Lu Yao got up and walked to the bathroom. Xu Yingjia looked at her tired figure and swallowed back her doubts, not wanting to make her more tired.
Fortunately, Xu Yingjia's bathroom had a wooden tub. Lu Yao filled the water and heated it. Xu Yingjia handed a pack of Chinese medicine in and asked, "Can I just throw it in?"
"Um."
"Then you go out first and I'll help you get it done. Then come in after it's done."
Lu Yao turned around and put her head on Xu Yingjia's shoulder. She was half a head taller than Xu Yingjia, so she didn't look like a little bird. But over the years, only Xu Yingjia knew how soft and sensitive Lu Yao's heart was hidden under her seemingly indestructible appearance.
Zhan Bai can be regarded as a 'best friend', but he is impure after all, so Lu Yao whispers more to Xu Yingjia, and will show her exhaustion and weakness without any defense in front of her.
When Xu Yingjia saw this, she patted Lu Yao's back and said softly: "Don't worry too much about Jian Chengli. He has his father."
Lu Yao said: "Uncle has relied on many connections, but until now, I haven't even been able to see Jian Chengli in person."
Xu Yingjia said: "Is it so serious?"
Lu Yao thought about it and finally couldn't help but said: "Ji Guanxin deliberately made Jian Chengli suffer. The deputy director of the Night City Police Bureau is his second uncle. As long as he wants us not to see Jian Chengli, how can we see him?" ?”
Xu Yingjia's heart sank and she frowned. She was very angry, but she said helplessly: "Then what should we do now?"
Lu Yao closed her eyes and whispered: "I'm going to shoot a set of news in the next two days. If it succeeds, I can trade this news with Ji Guanxin for Jian Chengli."
Xu Yingjia's first reaction was: "What news?"
Lu Yao said: "Don't ask, whether it can be done or not is another matter."
Xu Yingjia asked: "Is it dangerous?"
In fact, this is a useless question. There is no free lunch in the world. Ji Guanxin intends to clean up Cheng Li, so how can he let him go so easily
Since it is news that Ji Guanxin can be replaced by Jian Chengli, it must be a big exclusive and headline. Think about it, you know it is not easy to do.
Sure enough, Lu Yao didn't lie, but just didn't answer.
Xu Yingjia was anxious: "When are you going? I'll go with you."
Lu Yao said: "I'm telling you, I'm just worried that you won't be able to find me these two days. I'll probably shut down my phone when I go out tomorrow until I come back the day after tomorrow. You and Zhan Bai don't have to worry about me. Just know that I'm going out to work."
Xu Yingjia frowned and said, "What on earth do I want you to do?"
Lu Yao did not dare to tell the truth to Xu Yingjia, otherwise because of her character, she would not be allowed to go, or else she would make a fuss known to the world.
"Jiajia, you know I can't just watch Jian Chengli in there. No matter whether he suffers or not, I can't bear it."
So, don't stop her, no one can stop her.
Xu Yingjia understood that if she messed up this matter, Lu Yao would not be happy.
"Then when will you come back the day after tomorrow?"
Lu Yao said: "If everything goes well, I'll be back in the afternoon."
Xu Yingjia was silent for a long time and only said four words: "Then I'll wait for you."
There were too many things accumulated in my heart. After chatting with Xu Yingjia for a few words, I felt a lot more relaxed. Lu Yao went out to wait outside the bathroom. She sat on the bedside in a daze. Xu Yingjia's cell phone rang in the middle of the night. She picked it up and called out: "Jiajia, your phone..."
Xu Yingjia responded, and Lu Yao accidentally glanced at the phone screen. A series of familiar numbers on it immediately made her straighten her back, and her eyes returned like a shot of chicken blood.
Xu Yingjia came out of the bathroom: "Who is it?"
But Lu Yao answered the phone and said calmly: "Hello."
Ji Guanxin's voice came from the phone, and he immediately recognized it as Lu Yao, so he smiled lightly and said, "You know it's me who's calling?"
Lu Yao said: "Is something wrong?"
Ji Guanxin asked: "Where are you now?"
Lu Yao instinctively put up her guard and asked, "Why are you looking for me?"
Ji Guanxin said: "If I have nothing to do, I can't come to you? Can I care about you? I'm worried that you have nowhere to go and wander the streets in the middle of the night."
Lu Yao didn't believe that he had such good intentions. Although she was not happy to stay in Jian's family, her current situation was thanks to his single hand.
Xu Yingjia saw the corners of Lu Yao's lips curling into a mocking arc, and replied lukewarmly: "Thank you, but the people you fall in love with will not end well, so there is no need to be so polite between us."
