Chapter 276

The street lights illuminated the vehicles and pedestrians passing by on the street. In the midst of the rush, only the black Maybach across the street was parked quietly.

Jiang Qiao stared for too long. Tang Hao followed her line of sight and looked out the French window. He saw a man standing in front of a black car. His tall and straight figure looked inexplicably lonely and pitiful.

It was too far to see the man's face, but Tang Hao guessed something. His face changed and he couldn't eat anymore.

The chopsticks made a slight sound when they were placed on the plate. Jiang Qiao retracted his gaze and looked at the remaining dishes: "Have you finished eating?"

"Yeah." Tang Hao nodded and said tentatively: "It's still early, do you want to go shopping?"

The clock on the wall of the box showed the time was 7:30 in the evening, which was indeed still early. Jiang Qiao smiled and said, "Let's not do it. It would be bad if we were photographed."

Tang Hao did not give up and continued to persuade: "You go back and forth between the crew, the company and home all day long. It's not good for your physical and mental health in the long run. You need to find some time to go out and play."

Perhaps influenced by his upbringing, Jiang Qiao is a solitary person, not fond of making friends, and not very fond of crowds. To put it nicely, he is independent and sober, but to put it bluntly, he is heartless and indifferent.

The longer they spent together, the more Tang Hao wanted to break Jiang Qiao's habit, as if this would prove that he was different to Jiang Qiao.

Jiang Qiao's expression remained unchanged, still smiling, and he refused, "No, I'm physically and mentally healthy."

Tang Hao: “…………………………”

Having expected this answer, Tang Hao was not disappointed at all, but he still couldn't help but feel disappointed. He compromised and said, "Then I'll take you home."

With Jiang Qiao's status, it was not realistic for her to take a taxi back home. Tang Hao sending her back was the best option. They both knew this.

If it was in the past, Jiang Qiao would not have been entangled in this issue, but...

Jiang Qiao looked out the window. The black Maybach was still there. The tall and straight man stood beside the car for a long time without moving.

Neurotic, perverted...

Jiang Qiao couldn't help but curl the corners of his lips, turned around and made a decision, and said: "No, you don't have to send me, I can go back by myself."

"You go back by yourself?!" Tang Hao's voice rose.

After being rejected again and again, Tang Hao's anger could no longer be suppressed. His face turned ugly and his voice became a little stiff: "Jiang Qiao, you didn't drive, tell me how are you going to get back?!"

Jiang Qiao frowned at the questioning tone, but he still said in a good-tempered manner: "My neighbor is here to pick me up. Don't worry, I won't be photographed. If I am photographed, I will handle it myself."

Until now, she was still thinking about this problem, paparazzi, hot searches, solve it herself...

Tang Hao's heart suddenly sank to the bottom, and he made a hollow sound. Then his anger continued to rise, and he was a little confused: "Solved?"

He sneered and said without thinking: "Do you want to solve it yourself, or let the illegitimate son of the Sheng family help you solve it?"

After the words were spoken, there was silence for a long time.

The box is so quiet that you can hear a pin drop.

This was the first time Tang Hao spoke to her in such an aggressive way. Jiang Qiao was silent for a while and replied, "You think too much."

"You also said that he is just an illegitimate child, and Sheng Group is not under his control, so how can he have such great power?"

Jiang Qiao said this half-jokingly and half-seriously, but Tang Hao was stubborn and did not follow her words to skip the topic. He said stiffly: "You know what I mean."

His focus was not on Lu Xun's identity, but on the relationship between Jiang Qiao and Lu Xun. Jiang Qiao certainly understood.

But she thought that this had nothing to do with Tang Hao. She felt a little impatient, but she didn't show it on the surface. She said, "He is my neighbor."

"That's it?" Tang Hao didn't believe it.

Jiang Qiao was unwilling to say more: "That's it for now."

The word "currently" is very interesting, full of infinite possibilities and yet unpredictable. Jiang Qiao thought for a long time before giving such a relatively realistic answer.

If someone else asked this question, Jiang Qiao would definitely be perfunctory or simply not answer, but the one who asked this question was Tang Hao, and Jiang Qiao didn't want to lie to him.

In her heart, she really regarded Tang Hao as a friend. After all, Tang Hao had helped her a lot. Although she also created a lot of money for the Tang family, favors cannot be repaid with money.

Jiang Qiao sighed: "Really, there is no need for me to lie to you."

Jiang Qiao's answer did not reassure Tang Hao. Instead, he pressed on: "What about the future?"

Lu Xun clearly wanted to pursue Jiang Qiao, and he didn't believe that Jiang Qiao couldn't see it.

"Jiang Qiao, what about in the future? Can you ensure that you won't have any other relationship with him?"

Eager to get an answer, but ignoring the fact that this question had already crossed the boundary of being friends, Jiang Qiao stopped talking and looked at him in silence.

The slightly cold gaze was like a bucket of cold water being poured over one's head, instantly sobering him up. Tang Hao looked away in embarrassment: "I asked too many questions."

"Qiao Qiao, I apologize to you." Tang Hao said nervously, waiting anxiously for a response.

After a while, Jiang Qiao spoke, his voice lacking any emotion: "No need to apologize, it's okay."

Tang Hao forgave him lightly. He was silent for a while and said, "I'll have someone send you a copy of Lu Xun's information later."

"I don't--"

"It's always good to be more careful. After all, there are still many bad people in the world."

Tang Hao interrupted her and said, hearing the subtle slander in her words, Jiang Qiao smiled and did not refuse: "Okay."

When leaving the restaurant, Tang Hao walked very quickly, as if he didn't want to see any unpleasant scene. He got in the car and drove away, leaving only the exhaust gas.

The intersection was wide and there were a lot of vehicles at this point. Jiang Qiao waited for a wave of vehicles to pass before walking slowly to the other side.

Jiang Qiao stopped two or three meters away from the man.

Under the dim street lights, the man had a handsome face, his lips were neither too thick nor too thin, and he was wearing a white short-sleeved shirt in this weather, which made him look a little more youthful.

Jiang Qiao narrowed her eyes. It was the first time she saw Lu Xun like this. Suddenly, she felt the reality of Lu Xun's early twenties.

Well, pure boy, judging by appearance,

The girl's burning gaze darted around her face and body. Lu Xun's heart relaxed slightly. He took a step forward, and when he saw that the girl did not retreat, he walked over again.

"It's late. It's not safe for you to go home alone..." Lu Xun lowered his eyes and explained why he was here.

The man's lowered eyes were dark and deep, and his gaze was focused when he spoke, as if he could only see her.

Jiang Qiao raised his eyebrows and said deliberately: "I'm not alone, someone will take me home."

In front of the French window of the restaurant, there was a man opposite Jiang Qiao. Lu Xun straightened his lips and repeated, "It's not safe."
