That's it

Jiang Zhizhi knew that Lu Xiye's childish behavior would only cause a little unpleasantness at most, and it would not really end the party, nor would it really affect the cooperation between Fenghua and the company in Country N. But with things getting to this point, they couldn't go back.

"Forget it, let's go home." She felt helpless. After such a commotion, the hot pot was smashed and her part-time job was ruined.

Lu Xiye achieved two goals at once, but it was extremely unlucky for her.

They walked down the stairs and soon reached the first floor. They pushed open the door of the security passage and saw the magnificent hall of the club not far away.

"You're not angry, are you? How about I treat you to a meal?" Lu Xiye came over, observed Jiang Zhizhi's expression, and asked cautiously.

Jiang Zhizhi looked at her watch. It was exactly 7:40. Of course, she could go home and continue eating hot pot at this time, but when she thought about having to make excuses in front of Chen Yuping again, she scratched her head and really didn't want to continue lying.

"Let's go to Shangyuan Street."

Now is the busiest time for Shangyuan Street Night Market.

Jiang Zhizhi reluctantly took Lu Xiye out. When they reached the corridor connecting the hall to the right wing room, they suddenly caught a glimpse of a familiar figure at the end of the corridor.

She looked in that direction in surprise. At the end of the corner, the tall girl was leaning against the wall with a tired look on her face, a cigarette between her fingers, heavy makeup on, and a seductive look in her eyes.

Jiang Zhizhi's steps suddenly stopped.

Xu Jiaojiao?

How come she is here?

"Why don't you leave?" Lu Xiye followed Jiang Zhizhi's gaze and looked into the corridor.

When Xu Jiaojiao heard Lu Xiye's voice, she was startled and looked up in surprise.

Seeing Jiang Zhizhi and Lu Xiye, she hurriedly put out the cigarette in her hand, turned around and disappeared around the corner.

Lu Xiye didn't see her face clearly, only her back.

He was not familiar with Xu Jiaojiao, so naturally he did not recognize her.

"Who is that person? Do you know him?" Lu Xiye curiously stuck his head in to look.

"I don't know him. I'm leaving."

Jiang Zhizhi lowered her head and left in silence.

In her previous life, she had no contact with Xu Jiaojiao after their breakup. Later, she happened to hear others mention that she had already contracted the disease...

Although Jiang Zhizhi didn't quite understand, she heard that the disease was almost impossible to cure and that the patient would live in pain for the rest of his life.

Xu Jiaojiao has many shortcomings, but she is not bad in nature.

She grew up in a difficult family, was this the outcome?

This is so unfair to her.

If it were in the past, when Jiang Zhizhi still had resentment towards Xu Jiaojiao, perhaps she would have stood by and watched.

But now, she couldn't bear to do it.

"How about some skewers? There's a place on Shangyuan Street that serves delicious skewers." Lu Xiye, who was sitting in the front seat, suddenly turned around and suggested.

Jiang Zhizhi looked at him, and her thoughts suddenly went back to the night Xu Jiaojiao left.

"What's wrong? Why are you staring at me?" Lu Xiye suddenly became nervous when Jiang Zhizhi stared at him like that. "Are you still angry that I ruined your two thousand dollars?"

"No." Jiang Zhizhi turned to look out the window, "Then let's eat skewers."

Seeing Jiang Zhizhi's lack of interest, Lu Xiye also felt as if he had been poured with a basin of cold water. Coincidentally, the bus passed by the No. 2 Middle School at this time. He suddenly thought of something and turned back and said, "That club is really not a good place. A few years ago, a girl from No. 2 Middle School was bullied there and later jumped to her death. Don't go there again in the future."

"Jumped to death?"

Lu Xiye lowered his voice, "I heard she was pregnant and she couldn't stand the pressure, so she jumped off the building."

Jiang Zhizhi felt a chill down her spine and her scalp tingled.

When they arrived at Shangyuan Station, she asked Lu Xiye to order some skewers first, found an excuse to buy something and left, hailed a taxi and rushed to Jasmine.

On the way, she dialed Xu Jiaojiao's phone number, but it showed that the service was disconnected due to unpaid bills.

Yes, Xu Jiaojiao left home and changed her cell phone number a long time ago.

She couldn't reach her at all.

etc……

Something suddenly flashed through Jiang Zhizhi's mind.

She took out the call records on her mobile phone, searched through them one by one, and finally found a strange phone number.

The number that suddenly called her late at night, after she answered the call, the other end said nothing.

Jiang Zhizhi suddenly had a strong premonition.

The call was from Xu Jiaojiao.

Xu Jiaojiao had originally left Nanshi and gone to another place, but perhaps she encountered some trouble there, so she returned to Nanshi.

This call might have been from her when she just came back and wanted to contact me.

Jiang Zhizhi selected the number and called back.

Sure enough, the call went through.

But no one answered.

Jasmine Entertainment Club, Room 1024.

"The waves rush, the waves flow, the vast river flows forever..."

A middle-aged man with a big belly held a microphone in one hand and hugged the heavily made-up Xu Jiaojiao with the other, and his magical voice filled the ears.

An indescribable sour smell of sweat almost suffocated Xu Jiaojiao, but when she touched the 500-yuan tip she had just received in her pocket, she forced herself to smile, suppressing her nausea.

"Jiaojiao, now that you're back, follow my sister. She takes on big clients. As long as you listen to her, you'll have a lot of fun."

Thinking of what Wang Xing said before coming here, Xu Jiaojiao smiled at herself.

Not far from her, Tangtang, who brought her here, was feeding grapes to a greasy uncle in his forties with a face full of fat, with a smile on her face. But facing such a disgusting face, she could actually put on such a sweet smile.

Xu Jiaojiao admires her for this.

But when she thought about herself, she found it even funnier.

Is this the freedom she wants?

Forget it, she already knew that she would not have a good life...

Even if it's like this, at least I don't have to go back to that house.

At least she would have a place to stay.

Suddenly, a restless big hand touched her leg.

The person holding her is singing happily, and this hand is...

Xu Jiaojiao looked up and saw the man with glasses next to her. Although he didn't smell as bad as the man hugging her, the way he looked at her was equally uncomfortable.

"Little sister, how old are you?"

"Eighteen years old." Xu Jiaojiao lied skillfully.

Tangtang told her that no matter her real age, she was eighteen here.

"Really? He looks quite young. How long have you been here?"

As he spoke, his hand moved up her thigh.

"I……"

Xu Jiaojiao was about to speak when her cell phone suddenly rang.

She was startled and took out her cell phone to take a look. The caller was a string of numbers, but she had memorized this number long ago.

It’s Jiang Zhizhi.

She knew that Jiang Zhizhi had recognized her just now.

But how did Jiang Zhizhi know that this was her number? The last time she called Jiang Zhizhi, she didn't say a word, she just listened to her voice.

Did she guess it was her?

After a moment's silence, Xu Jiaojiao hung up the phone, turned around, forced a smile, and entertained the man next to her.

So be it, she is destined to live in the gutter...

Back to Jasmine, it was almost nine o'clock.

Jiang Zhizhi walked into the corridor of the right wing and came to the corner. There were twenty or thirty rooms in a row, and there was a corner at the end of the room. If she remembered correctly, there were at least a hundred rooms here.

It was impossible for her to knock on every door one by one to find Xu Jiaojiao's whereabouts. If she did so, she would probably be taken away by the staff here before she could knock on a few doors.

After thinking for a moment, she went into the bathroom around the corner.

Since Xu Jiaojiao is smoking here, it means her room is very close to here.

She will definitely come to the bathroom again.

As long as she waits here, she will definitely meet her.

Jiang Zhizhi was standing behind the bathroom wall, concentrating on looking at the corridor outside, when her cell phone suddenly started beeping.

It was a call from Lu Xiye.

He waited at the skewers stall for nearly half an hour, but Jiang Zhizhi didn't come back.

Jiang Zhizhi didn't answer the phone. She hung up and sent a message to Lu Xiye, "Go back first after you finish eating. I'll wait for a while and go back later."

The call was hung up. Lu Xiye was angry when he received a message from Jiang Zhizhi.

He exploded the moment he saw the message, and replied quickly: "Where are you?"

Jiang Zhizhi said she wanted to go shopping, but it was almost nine o'clock in the evening and the big shopping malls were about to close.

His intuition told him that there must be something fishy going on.

Suddenly, Lu Xiye thought of something.

"You're not going back, are you?"

He was shaking with anger. He had just told her so many times that Jasmine Entertainment Club was not a decent place. A girl from No. 2 Middle School had even been forced to jump off a building there, yet she still wanted to go there!

Does she really need those two thousand dollars?

"Have you gone back? Answer me!"

“Beep—”

He called Jiang Zhizhi again, but still no one answered the phone.

In the bathroom, Jiang Zhizhi hung up the phone and looked at the person walking out of the men's bathroom.

"Wang Xing, where's Xu Jiaojiao?"

Jiang Zhizhi had met Xu Jiaojiao's brother several times and recognized him at first sight.

Xu Jiaojiao is here, Wang Xing is here too, it is impossible for them not to know each other.

"You? Aren't you Jiang Zhizhi? The top student and school beauty from No. 1 Middle School? What? Are you working part-time here too?" Wang Xing looked at Jiang Zhizhi with disdain and mockery, his tone amusing and suggestive.

Jiang Zhizhi, a top student and school beauty, is like a flower on the top mountain to these poor students and hooligans.

Seeing her appear in such a place at this moment, Wang Xing suddenly felt a perverted sense of excitement.

If the most beautiful girl from Gaoling falls here, it will definitely be a very interesting show.

"I'm asking you, where is Xu Jiaojiao?" Xu Jiaojiao certainly has her own reasons for reaching this point, but Wang Xing is definitely not unrelated.

Jiang Zhizhi suppressed her disgust and questioned him.

"Did she ask you to come? It's still early, it won't end until 10 o'clock." Wang Xing said as he walked out of the bathroom. When he reached the door, he suddenly turned back and said to her, "If you're bored waiting, why don't you come to our room and wait?"
