Chapter 38 Chapter 38
Lu Jianing stood there in a daze.
He mocked her again!
She had told him many times that it was just pretending, but why didn't he believe it?
"Whatever you think!" Lu Jianing didn't want to explain any more. She walked around He Qifeng and turned her head to complain as she walked, "Wood, wood!"
Wood.
I don't understand her good intentions at all. Do you know how hard it is for her to act?
"Hey? Lu Jianing? Where are you going?" Lu Jianing had just taken a few steps when someone beside her called her.

Lu Jianing withdrew his gaze and looked at her for several times.
The little girl in front of me has long hair draped over her shoulders, and her wavy brown hair falls neatly on both sides. Arrogance is evident on the small face that is as big as a palm.
Lu Jianing recognized her at a glance; it was Qi Mengyao.
If one were to say who Lu Jianing was most afraid of meeting here, the eldest daughter of the Qi family and Song Gengli's number one fan would be one of them.
It’s not that Qi Mengyao is so scary, but she is really too difficult to deal with.
Whenever she and Qi Mengyao appeared in the same occasion, Qi Mengyao seemed to have installed a radar on her, keeping track of her whereabouts at all times.
Then he came to her at lightning speed and made all kinds of ridicules.
Lu Jianing told her more than once that she was not interested in Song Gengli's childish appearance, but Qi Mengyao insisted that she was trying to cover up something, saying one thing and thinking another, deceiving herself, trying to cover up her tracks, and trying to cover up her own guilt...
Lu Jianing: ...
She was speechless. She and Song Gengli were so familiar with each other, why couldn't she just say it directly? Was there any need to use such tricks?
"Miss Qi, I was frightened today and I don't have time to compete with you. Go and have fun by yourself." Lu Jianing made up an excuse and said.
"Lu Jianing, Brother Gengli is right. You are unlucky. People die wherever you go." Qi Mengyao said.
Lu Jianing let her talk nonsense: "Yes, so stay away from me, be careful that my bad luck will be passed on to you."
"Lu Jianing, you admitted it..." Qi Mengyao felt embarrassed for Lu Jianing, "How can you be so shameless?"
It’s wrong to admit it, and it’s also wrong not to admit it. Why is this young lady so difficult to please?
Lu Jianing deliberately mocked: "Qi Mengyao, the person you really like is not Song Gengli, but me."
"Why is it that every time we attend a banquet together, you always come first to cause trouble for me?"

Qi Mengyao blushed: "What nonsense are you talking about!"
"I'm telling the truth," Lu Jianing did have something more urgent to worry about. She said, "Your Song Gengli just witnessed the crime scene and is in a very vulnerable state of mind. If you want to take him down, go talk to him now and don't bother me here."
"What do you mean my Song Gengli..." Qi Mengyao said shyly.
Lu Jianing was not going to spoil her, she said: "Oh, it's not yours, it's mine."
Qi Mengyao became even angrier.
After arguing with someone, Lu Jianing was about to walk away when she suddenly noticed the person who had been following Qi Mengyao. She seemed to have never seen him before. This book is exclusively compiled for you by the LK team
Lu Jianing asked directly without any hesitation: "Qi Mengyao, who is she?"
Although Qi Mengyao was angry, she answered truthfully: "Shi Yingying, a new friend I met in Linjiang."
Lu Jianing had seen before how popular Miss Qi Mengyao was in the imperial capital. In the past, as soon as she said a word, a group of girls would rush forward and follow her lead.
Even though Qi Mengyao would openly mock her every time she saw her, she had no bad intentions.
Basically one hundred output and zero damage.
Putting all this aside, Qi Mengyao is actually just a spoiled rose in a secret room, a little princess who has been pampered to the point of being shy.
Now, for Song Gengli, she gave up all the comfortable life in the imperial capital and bravely went to Linjiang alone. She can be regarded as a warrior who charges forward for love.
Lu Jianing pondered.
It seems that she needs to find time to have a good talk with Song Gengli. It is not a good thing for the little princess to be stranded outside.
Lu Jianing regained his thoughts and asked, "How did you two know each other?"
"We met over coffee," Qi Mengyao said proudly, "Why are you asking these questions?"
Lu Jianing did not answer her question. She looked at Shi Yingying seriously.
Compared to normal girls, Shi Yingying's shoulders are obviously stronger, but her face is so tender that it seems like water can be squeezed out of it.
At this time, she was wearing a yellow long skirt with the hem reaching the ground. As if he was a little embarrassed by Lu Jianing's undisguised gaze, he avoided her eyes with a kind of shyness that was hard to conceal on his face.
Lu Jianing stared for a moment, her eyes moved to the silk tied around Shi Yingying's neck. She could vaguely see red blood spots at the junction of the silk and the skin of her neck.
It was like being sucked in by something with extremely strong suction.
This must be why she wears a scarf.
Qi Mengyao took a step forward and stood between Lu Jianing and Shi Yingying: "Lu Jianing, what are you looking at?"
"Nothing." Lu Jianing had no habit of exposing other people's privacy. She said, "Have fun."
"I do have something to do. I'm leaving now."
After saying that, without waiting for Qi Mengyao's reaction, Lu Jianing walked away.
"Hey... Hey..." No matter how Qi Mengyao called her, it was no use.
-
Lu Jianing wandered around the scene aimlessly for a few times.
As a result, throughout the entire process, Lu Jianing did not notice at all that anyone was following him or blocking his way.
Could it be that both she and He Qifeng guessed wrong? Is there actually no one monitoring her here?
But it shouldn't be...
"Wai, Feng Ji, it's really you?" someone next to him shouted.
The man called Feng Ji and Lu Jianing looked over together.
Seeing an acquaintance, Feng Ji showed no joy on his face. He frowned and asked, "Why are you here?"
"Why can't I come? After all, I am a well-known figure in Linjiang," the man put his arm on Feng Ji's shoulder, "What do you think? Does Ji Ruxian agree to cooperate with our group?"
When the familiar name was mentioned, Lu Jianing, who was not involved in the matter, smiled as if he had succeeded.
It really is effortless.
Feng Ji mercilessly took the man's arm off his shoulder and said, "I am just Mr. Ji's secretary. I am not in charge of the cooperation projects of Ji's Group."
"Old Feng, don't be so ruthless. Please be flexible," the man secretly made a scissors gesture in front of Feng Ji, "After the deal is done, I will give you 2% of the shares."
Feng Ji looked down at his hands and said nothing.
The man continued, "Eleanor is rarely circulated in the market, and there are a huge number of hidden customers. I believe that as long as the Ji Group asks us to be its agent, it will definitely be a strong combination. By then, we will definitely be able to achieve some results."
Eleanor?
Lu Jianing picked up the red wine glass on the table next to him and sniffed it carefully.
The familiar smell immediately filled my nose.
Song Gengli had mentioned to her before that all the wine for this birthday gift would be provided by Haoming Winery, which is a branch of the Ji Group's winery.
So the glass in her hand should be the most authentic Eleanor red wine from Haoming Winery.
But isn’t this just the simple taste of red wine? At most, it tastes a little mellower, right?
It probably hasn't reached the point of being addictive.
So, why is it that so many picky wine lovers can’t forget him?
Lu Jianing couldn't figure it out. She looked at it for a moment, then hid the wine glass in her hand under the table.
"Ningning, what are you doing?" Song Gengli came over and asked at the right time.
"Nothing." Lu Jianing hid the wine glass and stood up, and asked with concern, "How do you feel now?"
"The psychologist you hired just now helped me with counseling for half an hour. I feel much better now," Song Gengli said gratefully. "Thank you, Ningning. As expected, you are still..."
Before Song Gengli could finish, Lu Jianing interrupted him and said, "Then do me a favor..."
"What—" As Song Gengli was speaking, Lu Jianing naturally took Song Gengli's arm, and his voice immediately became excited and prolonged, "What... busy."
The sudden intimacy made Song Gengli feel a little embarrassed. He looked awkwardly at Lu Jianing's arm around him.
"Someone is watching me." Lu Jianing explained quickly.
Song Gengli came back to his senses immediately. He lost all his shyness and asked anxiously, "Who is so bold as to spy on the police?"
"It's just a human-shaped camera bought by an ordinary suspect. It's not a big problem." Lu Jianing said.
"Then how can I help you?" Song Gengli asked.
"You are responsible for bringing me to him," Lu Jianin said, "I will do the rest myself."
"Okay." Song Gengli agreed.
"At ten o'clock, there is a man with a colorful spotted tie." Lu Jianing arranged in a low voice.
"I saw it." Song Gengli said.
"Think of a reason, go over and get close to them," Lu Jianing ordered.
"good."
As soon as Song Gengli finished answering, he suddenly realized that he knew nothing.
Song Gengli: "Ningning, do you need me to do anything?"
"No, just get along with me normally," Lu Jianing said, "Just keep your own personality, and I will guide you in speaking and reacting when the time comes."
"Okay." Song Gengli agreed with all his heart.
Song Gengli was just about to lead Lu Jianing over, but he hadn't even taken a step.
Lu Jianing: "Wait a moment."
Song Gengli was puzzled: "What's wrong?"
Lu Jianing thought about it and felt that she still needed to give a few words of advice: "Don't forget to explain to Qi Mengyao afterwards. We are doing this for the safety of the people. We are innocent."
Song Gengli said disdainfully: "I have nothing to do with her, why should I explain to her?"
"Stop talking nonsense." Lu Jianing kicked Song Gengli naturally, as if they were playing a joke.
"Okay." Song Gengli, who had been kicked, agreed reluctantly.
Lu Jianing sensed his unhappiness, and she said, "You look like a resentful woman in the palace now."
Song Gengli covered his face and said, "My face has become so old."
Lu Jianing: ...
Is this the point?
Lu Jianing nodded and said tactfully, "Indeed, I am no longer young."
Song Gengli shook Lu Jianing's shoulder: "What should I do? What if you don't like me anymore?"
Lu Jianing: "Calm down."
Song Gengli: "I'm old and my face is yellow, how can I stay calm?"
As if hearing the noise coming from Lu Jianing's side, the person who was chatting with Feng Ji before greeted Lu Jianing and the others: "Mr. Song, Mr. Lu."
"You two really have a good relationship. Just now, watching your interaction, my corpse spots have faded."
