Chapter 36 Deception

In the evening, night falls and the moon is dim.

Zhu Jianyi was still not satisfied, so on a whim, he pulled Zhu Wendong to the bar again.

The deafening music and the dancing crowd made it very lively.

Zhu Wendong discovered that Zhu Jianyi was just like Qiao Shizhu. He liked to have a drink when he had nothing to do, but he always had to drag her along to join in the fun.

Zhu Wendong was dragged along by Zhu Jianyi until he finally sat down at the bar.

I chose the noisiest place.

Zhu Jianyi raised his voice, leaned close to her ear and asked loudly, "What do you want to drink?"

Zhu Wendong knew his own limitations and replied frankly, "I can't drink."

The DJ in the bar was so loud that Zhu Jianyi couldn't hear what she said clearly, and he was too lazy to ask again. He just ordered two drinks of his usual choice from the bartender.

Not long after, Zhu Wendong had a drink in his hand. It was a light green and astringent water that looked like lime sparkling water and smelled and tasted like it.

Zhu Wendong rarely drinks, so he couldn't recognize or taste the wine, so he naturally didn't think much about it.

But she didn't feel like drinking it right now, so she just took a small sip.

Zhu Jianyi drank very generously. He took two big gulps and pretended to jump to the center of the dance floor. Suddenly, he remembered that there was someone else, so he stopped and asked her.

"Are you going?"

She tilted her head and pointed toward the center of the dance floor.

Zhu Wendong followed his gaze and shook his head to refuse.

Zhu Jianyi didn't force it and ran to the center of the dance floor excitedly by herself.

Zhu Wendong admired her playful spirit. She seemed to have endless energy and was always full of vigor and vitality.

She held her face with her hands and stared at the center of the dance floor absent-mindedly, as if admiring flowers.

Suddenly, a shadow fell beside me.

"Zhu Wendong, are you here alone?"

Zhu Wendong came to his senses and looked up at him. It was Zhou Si'an.

Her eyes were a little dazed, but her mind was unusually clear. She pointed to the distance and said softly, "No, I came here with a friend."

Zhou Si'an could see that she had drunk some wine, but he didn't know how much she could drink. She looked half drunk and half awake, and didn't look like someone who could drink a lot.

"You have a poor alcohol tolerance?"

It wasn't just bad, he couldn't even drink a few sips. Zhu Wendong forced himself to smile normally, "It's okay, I didn't drink much."

She was telling the truth. She had only drunk less than three sips of the glass of wine that Zhu Jianyi gave her.

She just couldn't control her dizziness, but she could still communicate normally as long as she didn't fall down.

Zhou Si'an could see that she was still a little wary of him, the kind of distance she kept from unfamiliar people. It seemed that a few times of getting along were not enough to bring them closer.

He said calmly, "Why don't you go to the private room on the second floor and wait for a while? I'll have someone open a separate room for you."

It wasn't that serious yet. Zhu Wendong shook his head again and said distantly, "It's okay, don't bother. I'm quite sober."

Zhou Si'an didn't know what to say anymore, so he chatted with her for a few more words. Seeing that she was still rational enough to answer questions, he went upstairs.

But he never did it a few days in advance. He wanted to give her enough time to think about it and not rush into it.

When the space beside him was clear, Zhu Jianyi retreated from the center of the dance floor and whispered mysteriously into Zhu Wendong's ear.

"Guess who I just saw?"

Zhu Wendong hadn't been paying attention to the dance floor just now, so of course he didn't know who she saw. He followed her lead and asked, "Who did you see?"

Without saying a word, Zhu Jianyi took Zhu Wendong's wrist and walked towards the VIP box on the second floor. She walked through the long corridor and came to the innermost room. She pushed open the door neatly and spoke loudly.

"I'm here, Lu Guanqi, why don't you come out quickly?"

Zhu Wendong: “…”

If she knew they were coming here, she would never follow her.

Lu Guanqi, who was in the box, heard the noise and walked to the door. Seeing her, he looked like a mouse whose tail had been stepped on. He asked unhappily, "Why are you here?"

Zhu Jianyi noticed his unwelcome tone and kicked him with her stiletto heels, saying arrogantly, "Is Qi Yanxue here? I'm looking for him."

Upon hearing this, Zhu Wendong grabbed Zhu Jianyi's wrist, pulled her a few steps closer, and whispered soothingly, "Don't be impulsive."

As if she was a grumpy fish who couldn't control her emotions, Zhu Jian shook her hand away nonchalantly, "Don't worry, I know my limits."

When Lu Guanqi saw Zhu Wendong coming, his mind went blank for a moment.

What's going on? The sun rose from the west today, and I could see the two sisters of the Zhu family holding hands.

The key point is Zhu Jianyi's momentum to collect debts. What does it mean that he comes to find Qi Yanxue right away?

The elder sister of the Zhu family is Qi Yanxue's ex-girlfriend, and the younger sister is Qi Yanxue's pursuer.

This relationship is too complicated, the CPU is about to burn out.

Lu Guanqi's expression changed constantly, and his sophistry was hard to guess. Just when he was about to imagine a 300,000-word tomato novel in his mind.

Zhu Jianyi pushed him and said, "Move aside, I'm looking for Qi Yanxue."

Like a cat scratching itself, Lu Guanqi symbolically took two steps back to make room for the two of them.

Zhu Jianyi walked in with great fanfare. As he passed by Lu Guanqi, he whispered, "They are in cahoots with each other."

Lu Guanqi: “…” You sit at home and get scolded from the sky.

Zhu Jianyi glanced around as she entered the private room, but couldn't see Qi Yanxue. She tilted her head and asked, "Where's Qi Yanxue?"

She had clearly seen Qi Yanxue walking upstairs just now. She followed him all the way up and only went downstairs to call Zhu Wendong after seeing him enter the box. How could he disappear in such a short while?

Lu Guanqi casually lay down on the sofa and said mysteriously, "Want to know? Sit here and wait, I'll be there in a moment."

He seemed to be sure that Zhu Jianyi didn't have the patience to wait, so he deliberately made insinuations.

But Zhu Jianyi changed his attitude today and sat down on the sofa without hesitation. "Wait."

Zhu Wendong rubbed his throbbing temples helplessly, barely keeping his head clear, and sat down beside her.

Things have developed to this point, and we can only make the best of it.

The box is very large and spacious. There is a staircase on the right side, and it seems there is a second floor.

Zhu Jian pointed to the second floor with an ambiguous tone, "You're not doing anything shameful up there, are you?"

"Don't you like Qi Yanxue?" Lu Guanqi pondered, imagining another big drama: "Is this love that cannot be achieved turning into hatred?"

Zhu Jianyi snorted, "I was blind before, mistaking nervousness for love. Now I'm not here to chase him."

"He deceived the Zhu family, and I'm here to settle the score with him!"

"What did I lie about?"

A person slowly walked down the stairs on the right. He was wearing black pants, long legs, a half-high collar sweater, his hands in his pockets, and had broad shoulders and a thin waist. He looked restrained and charming, as if he was emitting hormones wherever he went.

Dressed in black, his skin appears cold and pale, his long eyes are half-raised, his eyebrows are cold, his nose is high, his lips are naturally red, and his slightly parted hair hangs in front of his eyebrows, making him look wild and unruly.

He walked to the pool table nearby and picked up the unfinished glass of wine. He half leaned on the table and looked over lazily.

With just one look, Zhu Jianyi swallowed all his words.
