Chapter 88 That bastard Li Huaijin...
When Luo Zhiwei and Lu Jingxiao arrived at Junyu Club, everyone was already there.
However, Luo Zhiwei did not see Gu Youran, and she couldn't help but frown, feeling that she had been deceived by Lu Jingxiao.
Ranran isn't here at all; it's just the brothers here.
Gu Yulin, Li Huaijin, and Si Ming.
Upon entering the private room, Luo Zhiwei subconsciously wanted to leave because there was no one she knew there. She didn't want to stay there; she would rather go home.
She suddenly grabbed Lu Jingxiao's hand and said with some difficulty, "How about I leave? You guys won't have a good time here."
Lu Jingxiao: "Why?"
Luo Zhiwei: "......"
Do I really have to make her say it out loud?
First of all, you lied to me. You said Ranran would come, so I came, but where is she?
Secondly, these are all your friends, and we don't even have any connection. Am I supposed to sit here like I'm invisible, or am I supposed to be stared at like a monkey?
Finally, why should I attend your brothers' gathering?
Isn't that nonsense?
Lu Jingxiao turned his head and glanced at the people sitting there, and instantly understood.
Lu Jingxiao's gaze fell on Li Huaijin: "Where is Gu Youran?"
"Yes, didn't she go to the restroom to call Miss Luo?"
Luo Zhiwei: "???"
I didn't receive a call. When will I receive a call?
She quickly said, "Then I'll go check the restroom."
Worried that the person might run away, Lu Jingxiao suggested, "Why don't you just call and ask?"
"Okay, I'll make a call and ask."
The call was answered quickly, and the whooshing sound of wind was very obvious on Gu Youran's end.
"Weiwei, where are you? I'm coming to visit you! I've finally gotten rid of that annoying Li Huaijin!"
Luo Zhiwei: "......"
She glanced awkwardly at Lu Jingxiao, her lips twitching as she looked at Li Huaijin. She saw that the man was smiling sinisterly. His face was usually as gentle as a spring breeze, but... it just looked terrifying.
Gu Youran kept calling Luo Zhiwei on the other end of the phone, her tone very excited: "Weiwei, Weiwei, where are you now? Lu Jingxiao isn't home either. Let's go out and play!"
“Let me tell you, Weiwei, that bastard Li Huaijin actually said you would go to the club too. I waited inside for twenty minutes, but I couldn’t wait any longer, so I made up an excuse and ran away. Aren’t I amazing, sister?”
Luo Zhiwei felt like she could carve out a villa out of herself.
This is so embarrassing!
Under the gazes of the group, she slowly said, "Ranran, I'm in this club. I... just arrived."
Beep, beep, beep.
The call was immediately disconnected.
Li Huaijin smiled sinisterly, as if he could devour Gu Youran alive if she were here.
Luo Zhiwei didn't say anything and stood naturally behind Lu Jingxiao.
She really didn't know what to say, feeling that if she opened her mouth, Li Huaijin would definitely attack her with sarcasm.
Lu Jingxiao lowered his head to defend her, then looked at Li Huaijin and said in a cold voice, "If you scare him, I'll never forgive you."
Li Huaijin: "......"
Tsk, all you do is threaten me.
Li Huaijin immediately became obedient. The main reason was that he couldn't beat Lu Jingxiao, so he could only swallow his resentment.
If he can't do anything to Luo Zhiwei, can't he at least deal with Gu Youran?
Gu Youran's car had only driven about a kilometer when she had to turn back.
Ten minutes later, Gu Youran stood at the door looking constipated, too afraid to go in.
As if he had anticipated Gu Youran's return, Li Huaijin even got up himself to open the door.
Just as he expected, Gu Youran stood at the door, looking silly and dazed, like a rabbit that had made a mistake, standing there timidly, neither advancing nor retreating.
Upon seeing Luo Zhiwei, she instinctively ignored Li Huaijin and ran straight towards Luo Zhiwei, yelling, "Weiwei~~"
Li Huaijin: "??"
I'm standing right in front of you, and you can't see me?
Can't you really see it?!
Gu Youran didn't dare to look at Li Huaijin at all. She was worried that she would die a terrible death. On her way back, the villains in her heart were already fighting each other.
With Weiwei around, there are still over 400 million in revenue.
Maybe we should consider living. If we die, we'll have nothing left, and we won't be able to protect Weiwei.
After agonizing for a long time, she still couldn't give up Weiwei and the tangible benefits.
For Lu Jingxiao, he had fulfilled his promise to Weiwei; Weiwei would not run away anymore, and he was already very satisfied.
"Now that everyone is here, let's start eating."
Lu Jingxiao looked up at Gu Yulin: "Boss, where have you been lately?"
Gu Yulin wanted to light a cigarette, but remembering that there were two girls present, he put the cigarettes he had taken out back and said casually, "I went out to take care of some business, which was rather tricky and took up some time."
He then looked at Luo Zhiwei and asked gently, "How are Miss Luo's injuries?"
They've been gone for so long without me even noticing, after all, they have the same blood type and might need to help each other in the future.
Luo Zhiwei smiled faintly, her eyes filled with gratitude: "Thank you for your concern, President Gu. My injury has almost healed."
Gu Yulin nodded slightly and smiled, "That's good."
Luo Zhiwei then looked at Gu Yulin again. She took out the dragon-patterned jade pendant from her bag, her eyes filled with reluctance: "Mr. Gu, you seemed very interested in this jade pendant at the Luo family villa last time, so I brought it with me. You can take it back and study it, but... please return it after you're done using it."
They all knew the significance of this jade pendant, so she didn't need to elaborate.
Therefore, such a request is not excessive.
Gu Yulin was somewhat surprised, since Luo Zhiwei had clearly refused at the time, and he hadn't forced her.
“Miss Luo, you don’t need to be so nervous. It’s just that the Gu family also has a dragon-patterned jade pendant. My uncle lost his, and I just wanted to see if it was his.”
Luo Zhiwei was taken aback and looked up in surprise.
Oh, I see.
She smiled gently and placed the jade pendant in front of Gu Yulin: "Then Mr. Gu can take it back and have it appraised properly. It seems that my mother's jade pendant was left by someone, but I don't know who it was."
Maybe Mom knows, but she just doesn't want to say it.
Gu Yulin examined the jade pendant, but couldn't discern anything about it. The jade material was indeed similar to what the Gu family used, though he couldn't tell the difference.
“Miss Luo, if you don’t mind, could I take it back for two days? I’d like to try it again with the medicine that’s unique to my family.”
“Okay, as long as the jade pendant remains intact, I don’t mind.”
Although the jade pendant is valuable, Gu Yulin, as a member of a top-tier wealthy family, would not stole her things. As long as the jade pendant is intact, she doesn't care about anything else.
"Thank you very much."
Gu Yulin carefully put the jade pendant away and placed it in his pocket.
Take the jade pendant home and let my uncle examine it so he can see what it is.
Lu Jingxiao didn't quite understand why Gu Yulin was doing this. The Gu family had a family jade pendant, which was the symbol of the Gu family. Even the material used to make the jade pendant was top-notch. Jade pendants could be replicated, but the material for jade pendants was hard to find.
So, Gu Yulin should be able to tell at a glance whether something belongs to the Gu family or not, so why would he take it home to test it?
Is there something he doesn't know?
