Selling out Jian Beibei in exchange for Ji Guanxin's trust was Qiao Yuxi's last and only trump card. She made a desperate move, but she didn't expect that Ji Guanxin really changed his mind. It seems that Zhang Chuan still knows something about Ji Guanxin.
She straightened up. She looked at Ji Guanxin with tears in her eyes, with surprise and uncertainty in her eyes, fearing that Ji Guanxin would turn around and stop her.
Ji Guanxin saw what she was thinking. He said with a straight face: "I've always been a person who helps relatives but not others. If you are willing to draw a clear line with the Jian family, you are the one on my side. I keep my word."
Qiao Yuxi's heart was numb and she couldn't tell whether she should be happy or disappointed at this time. She just replied mechanically: "Thank you, boss."
The corners of Ji Guanxin's lips curved slightly, as if he was happy for her awareness of current affairs.
The two were two meters apart. Waited for a while. Ji Guanxin asked: "Is there anything else?"
Qiao Yuxi realized it later and immediately opened the car door behind her. Ji Guanxin reached out and opened the car door, but Qiao Yuxi suddenly shouted: "Boss..."
Ji Guanxin stopped. He glanced sideways at her.
Qiao Yuxi's face didn't look good. She didn't even dare to meet his eyes. Lips slightly parted. She hesitated for a moment, then whispered: "I'm afraid that Jian Beibei will find someone to take revenge on me if he finds out that I was the one who told the secret."
Ji Guanxin said: "If you don't tell, I won't tell. Who else will know?"
Qiao Yuxi glanced at him timidly, as if wondering whether his words were true or false. She didn't believe that Ji Guanxin would remain indifferent after knowing the truth.
Ji Guanxin looked away and took a long step to get into the car. Before closing the door, he said: "Don't worry, since you have come to join me, you will be a cutting-edge person from now on. Anyone who goes against you will go against me." "
After saying that, the car door closed and the car quickly passed by her.
Qiao Yuxi stood alone in the parking lot, unable to regain her consciousness for a long time. She didn't know whether this move was right or wrong, she only knew that this was her only way out.
In the car, Ji Guanxin's face was terrifyingly gloomy, his thin lips pursed into a straight line, and his beautiful eyes were filled with a look of cruelty that wanted to kill him.
He really wanted to ask someone to kill Jian Beibei, or simply take nude photos of her so that she would be so infamous that she wouldn't dare go out. His teeth itched with hatred, Ji Guanxin wondered, how could there be such a bad person in this world
She is only in her early twenties, even younger than Lu Yao. It would be fine if there was any deep hatred between her and Lu Yao, but just because of her dislike, Lu Yao would be sent to a point of no return.
Jian Beibei had figured out Lu Yao's character, so this time she suffered a bitter loss. No, she not only figured out Lu Yao's character, she even figured out his character.
Such a person, at such an age, with such depth and scheming, is really chilling to the heart.
Ji Guanxin admitted that he wanted to kill Jian Beibei, and he also had the ability to make her disappear without anyone noticing.
But after all, Jian Beibei and Lu Yao have lived under the same roof for ten years. Even if he is willing to do this cruel thing, Lu Yao may not be able to get over it. So Ji Guanxin quickly thought of the second option. Wouldn't it be more torturous to make a person's life worse than death than to let her die directly
When it comes to grabbing people's feet and poking at their weaknesses, Ji Guanxin takes second place, while no one dares to take first place. It's okay to be mean-spirited in front of him, he will let her see how she is being mean-spirited.
Taking out his mobile phone, Ji Guanxin was about to make a call when a call from Yuran came through and he slid open the connect button.
Youran's voice came from the mobile phone, "Boss, I found Miss Lu's current location. She is in Lancheng."
Ji Guanxin frowned slightly and couldn't help but ask aloud: "Didn't she go back to Winter City directly? Why did she go to Lancheng?"
Lancheng and Winter City are not in the same province at all, and they are not the cities that Night City passes through when returning to Winter City. They should take a detour.
Sure enough, Yu Ran's next words answered the question in Ji Guanxin's heart. She said: "The other two people in the car with Miss Lu were Miss Lu's brother Lu Chi, and the other was Lu Chi's son, named Jiang Rui. Jiang Rui's family was not well off when he was young, so he did not go to high school. After that, he traveled around the country and worked. A few years ago, he went to Myanmar to start a jade business. Later, he introduced jade into the country. Currently, there are nearly forty jade antique stores in various provinces and cities across the country. He is also the owner of Mercedes-Benz and BMW in several northern countries. The largest agent dealer in the province. This time they went to Lancheng because Jiang Rui’s jade shop in Lancheng had just opened. "
For some reason, Ji Guanxin had never met Jiang Rui, but just hearing what Youran said made him feel inexplicably uncomfortable. Maybe there was a hint of appreciation between the lines in Youran's words.
After all, Jiang Rui was young, had no background, and had no wealth. He earned everything by himself.
Women prefer men who are excellent and can create wealth than men who are born with a silver spoon in their mouths.
What’s so cool about a store opening? He even made a special detour to see it. Ji Guanxin felt sour in his heart. It would be okay if the car was only late because of the road, but who the hell is this Jiang Rui
Youran waited for a few seconds, but before Ji Guanxin could answer, she asked aloud: "Boss, do you want me to book a flight ticket to Lancheng for you?"
She thought Ji Guanxin's character, once the details of Lu Yao were determined, he would not be able to spread his wings and fly over? In the end, Ji Guanxin replied in a low voice: "No, you ask someone to help me keep an eye on their itinerary and movements. Just notify me before they return to Winter City."
You Ran was very surprised. He didn't dare to ask any more questions and could only answer.
Ji Guanxin hung up the phone, and his mind was filled with Lu Yao's face, smiling, beaming, unhappy, and of course, the most expressionless look on her face.
She always maintains a polite and distant look towards people she doesn't know well, but once she treats the other person as a friend, a variety of emotions can be seen on her face.
In fact, she is not bored, but her life is too insecure. There are only a few people around her, and she is very content. She has never thought about broadening her circle, nor does she take the initiative to welcome others.
It took a lot of effort for him to force his way into her life, and it was also hard for him to see her true side. But now, his distrust and bad temper have quickly brought this hard-won beauty back to its original shape.
Lu Yao refused to see him, and even refused to listen to his phone calls. He wanted to explain to her and talk to her, but she didn't give him a chance.
Ji Guanning said: "I have friends who have similar family backgrounds to Lu Yao. People like them are very insecure. I can't say for sure that her childhood must have been unhappy, but her childhood must be different from that of us normal people. In the end, At least they have flaws. Such people tend to push the things they want the furthest away because they are afraid they will be hurt if they don’t get them, so they simply pretend they never want them.”
"My friend always said that she was afraid of getting married and didn't want to have a family because when she was young, her parents always fought and fought, and the marriage broke up, which had a great impact on her. So she has not found a boyfriend for so many years. Until I traveled to Switzerland last year, I heard that I met her current husband on the plane. They met and got married within four months. Now she was pregnant before I came back to Night City. She called me to tell me. , In fact, she has always wanted to have a family and a boyfriend who treats her well, but she has never met the right one before, so she simply said that she never wanted to have one. "
"Some people are born with strong healing abilities, and can recover quickly even if they are sad or broken in love; but some people are born with sensitivity, and it is difficult for her to accept someone, not to mention that after she accepts you, you will hurt her in turn. Heart. With Lu Yao's personality, I'm afraid she will stay away from you in the future. You'd better not push her too hard, otherwise it may be counterproductive and she will annoy you even more in the future."
What Ji Guanning said was reasonable and well-founded, and she had never met Lu Yao, so she could guess eight or nine of Lu Yao's temperament. People like Ji Guanxin, who have been held in the palm of their hands since childhood, can't help but believe it even if they can't completely empathize with it.
If she hadn't let him go to Lu Yao, he would have bought a plane ticket and flew to Lancheng to meet her.
It's been five days since that night when he drank too much and ran to Night City to briefly meet her. He couldn't sleep thinking about her every night and could only play with the stone bracelet she made a few years ago.
He also went to Maxim in person and asked for the bracelet he had thrown on the ground during the quarrel that day. He still remembered the surprised look the waiter gave him when he returned the bracelet to him.
Ji Guanxin doesn't care. He can look at Ai as he pleases. It was originally something given to him by Lu Yao. Can't he get it back
It was just a new bracelet, but several beads were broken. He was so distressed that he didn't know what to do.
There was also the little white-faced boy. He lost his temper before and kicked him several times, but Yuran took him away. Later, he kept him at Yuran's house. When he thought of it and wanted to take it back to raise it, it was extremely afraid of him. When it saw him, it turned its face away, which made Youran particularly embarrassed.
Ji Guanxin couldn't touch Lu Yao, so he had to take the pretty girl home, so that he was not the only one at home. When he looked at it, he could still recall Lu Yao's appearance when he lived at home.
Driving all the way back to Jingchen Yipin, Ji Guanxin opened the door to his room and turned on the porch light when he left. Under the white light, the pretty boy stood in the entrance hall, looking up at him with his tail wagging.
Ji Guanxin instantly felt warm and sour. He didn't even change his shoes. He leaned over and lifted it up, face to face with it, "Did you hear that I'm back?"
The pretty boy looked at Ji Guanxin with his dark round eyes and stuck out his tongue.
He held it with one hand, changed into slippers and walked into the living room.
He didn't lock it in a cage, fearing that it would get bored at home. He walked through the corridor and came to the living room. Ji Guanxin looked at the mess in the room and was stunned for a moment.
The cushions and toys that were originally on the sofa were now lying on the floor, and the paper towels were chewed to pieces... Anyway, the huge living room looked like it had just been raided by robbers.
