Chapter 266 Imperial Capital, I’m Back

Su Jiaojiao bought a middle berth in a hard sleeper train, and the ticket cost 192 yuan.

It’s still very expensive.

Hard seats are cheaper, only about fifty or sixty yuan, but there are too many people.

She had a lot of cash in her suitcase, and she didn't squeeze into the hard seat compartment. She put the suitcase on the bed and lay down. All she could hear was the sound of crunching.

The lights outside the car window flashed through the light blue curtains. The uncle in the lower bunk was snoring loudly. The child in the next car was crying loudly. The mother kept comforting the child, and the father complained that the child was timid.

The couple argued in low voices.

Su Jiaojiao woke up and fell asleep frequently, but her sleep was not peaceful. At around four o'clock in the morning, she could no longer fall asleep. Thinking back on every detail of the past three years, it seemed like a dream. Everything seemed to have changed, yet it seemed to have remained the same.

She didn't know whether it had changed for the better or not.

It was almost dawn when she finally dozed off for a while. Most of the people who were sleeping had already gotten up. Some were washing up and running back and forth, while others were making instant noodles in the aisle seats. All kinds of smells filled the entire carriage.

It was noon when the train arrived at the Imperial Capital South Station.

A familiar yet unfamiliar breath hit her face. After a lifetime, Su Jiaojiao stood here again, but everything and people had changed. In her previous life, Qin Shuang brought her to the imperial capital. Worried that she would get lost, he specially went back to Jiao County to pick her up.

Now, she came with an admission letter from the University of Tokyo. This feeling was very different from her previous life. This time she was no longer confused, but happy, confident, and well-planned.

Imperial Capital, I’m back!

After leaving the station, she took a taxi to Kyoto University.

She had passed by this place several times in her previous life and was not very familiar with it, but she did not feel unfamiliar either. After getting off the car, she first found an Agricultural Bank, opened a passbook, and deposited the cash she brought into the bank. She withdrew the cash because she was worried that she could not withdraw money in other places.

After depositing the money, I asked and found out that I could withdraw the money from another place.

That's easy.

After depositing the money, she felt completely relaxed. She dragged her suitcase to a nearby business office to apply for a mobile phone card, and then found a hotel to check in.

There is still half a month before reporting to the university, and the classmates have not arrived yet. The hotel is not tight, so Su Jiaojiao asked for a single room and she will stay there until school starts.

After finishing her work, she ate a bowl of instant noodles and took a hot bath. Then she threw herself on the bed, called Chen Guilan to report that she was safe, and then fell into a deep sleep. She didn't sleep well that night because she was too tired.

Chen Guilan didn't sleep well at night. She felt relieved when she received a call from her daughter. Just as she hung up the phone, Lu Jingyou called again and said, "Hello, Auntie, I'm looking for Su Jiaojiao."

Chen Guilan told him that Su Jiaojiao had already gone to the capital and had just arrived today.

Lu Jingyou asked her if she had applied for a new mobile phone card. Chen Guilan said she didn't know, and he didn't ask again.

She actually went to the imperial capital alone without even saying hello to him. It seemed that she was really angry.

He originally thought that going to the ecological park would bring their relationship closer, but he ended up scaring her.

You're all adults, why are you still so shy?

Lu Jingyou frowned, looked through his schedule, and called Wang Hua over: "Please make arrangements. I have to go back to the capital in the next two days. Let Qi Heng handle the things here."

"Why me again?" Qi Heng strode in from behind Wang Hua, dissatisfied, "I'm dying of heat. I've applied to go to the imperial capital, or to Jiao County. Don't even think about running around on your own. Leave this mess to me."

"I have something important to do back in the capital. You're the vice president, so if you don't stay, who will?" Lu Jingyou glanced at him and said, "Don't even think about slacking off. Once things are settled here, I'll transfer you back to the capital to join Lao He and the others."

"Why are you back to the capital for no reason?" Qi Heng thought for a moment and looked at the calendar. "That's not right. Isn't it still half a month before the university registration? Why are you in such a hurry to go back?"

"You're overthinking it. I'm going back for work," Lu Jingyou said seriously. "No one in the office is allowed to talk about anything else. It's settled. Wang Hua and I are leaving tomorrow."

"I'll go book a plane ticket." Wang Hua was very happy to hear that. Guangzhou is nice, but it's too hot and he can't stay there any longer.

"Did she go to the capital ahead of time?" Qi Heng simply sat on his desk, looked at him inquiringly, and teased, "I always thought you had the girl, but now it seems that's not the case. Are you having a quarrel?"

"Be serious, this is an office!" Lu Jingyou stood up and walked out. As he reached the door, he saw Lu Jiaping walking towards him. He asked Lu Jingyou, "I heard from Wang Hua that you are going back to the capital tomorrow?"

"Yes, I will go back tomorrow." Lu Jingyou stopped and said, "Qi Heng will stay and help you with things here."

"Come to my office for a moment, I have something to tell you." Lu Jiaping pushed open the door of the office next door and limped in.

After Lu Jingyou sat down, Lu Jiaping frowned and said, "I admit that the loss was heavy this time, but I was also framed. How could I have known that Wu Qin, that bastard, would dare to privately forge the official seal and cause such a big mess? Go back and explain to your grandfather that I really didn't mean it."

"Uncle, I know you didn't mean it, but you shouldn't have used public funds to invest in a film and television company." Lu Jingyou had been involved in several lawsuits recently and was exhausted. "Don't think I don't know that you invested in that film and television company to make that model famous..."

Because of Qin Xiuming's matter, Lu Jiaping and Wu Xinyue had a falling out. He came to Yangcheng, one to accompany his son, and the other to get away from it, so that he wouldn't be bothered by him.

Qin Shuang was very determined and didn't want to rekindle their past relationship, which was a heavy blow to Lu Jiaping. He got drunk every day. Through a friend's introduction, he met a very beautiful model, who looked very much like Qin Shuang in the past.

Perhaps to relieve his loneliness, or perhaps because the scene reminded him of someone else, he quickly became friends with the model.

In order to promote her, he embezzled public funds to invest in the model's film and television company. It was originally profitable, but Wu Qin tampered with it, privately forged the official seal and forged the investment agreement, causing him to suffer heavy losses.

Wu Qin is Wu Xinyue's cousin.

Lu Jiaping suspected that his wife Wu Xinyue was setting up a trap to take revenge on him.

"It's not what you said." Lu Jiaping denied that he had fallen for a honey trap and waved his hand, "Let's talk about the facts. I will find a way to make up for the loss this time. Otherwise, I won't be able to go back to see your grandfather."

"Uncle, even though we're family, we still have to be frank. We can help you once or twice, but there won't be a third time," Lu Jingyou said calmly. "I think you understand what's going on. What I'm saying is, if we keep fighting like this, our company will collapse..."

He has already found out that Qin Shuang's car accident was not a natural disaster but a man-made disaster.

The mastermind behind this is Wu Xinyue.

He didn't want to investigate this matter.
