Chapter 227: Airport
Fu Yanjing: ...
"Could you ask the servants to brew ten catties of herbal tea?"
Fu Yanjing didn't have a chance to say anything negative; Old Master Fu handled it all by himself.
"What a joke? Is your anger directed at Ah Jing or at me?"
The old man's health has improved recently, and he's full of energy. "What's so funny about this? Are we really going to force him into an arranged marriage, give him a fiancée he's never even met, and then have her run away at the engagement party? Wouldn't that be a joke?"
He gave an example, saying that all he was missing was Zhao Jinming's ID card.
Fu Yanjing said calmly, "I've already finished laughing about this."
Seeing that the conversation was going off-topic, Qin Zhiyi distanced herself from the two of them.
"I'm calling to inform you that your Uncle Tang passed away early last night. The memorial service is in three days, and you must attend on time."
"I see."

The five-day interview recording has successfully concluded.
The richness of the materials and the expansion of the content also surprised Wen Jin.
The day I left the mountain primary school was sunny.
An unexpected work assignment came up, coupled with traveling overnight.
When I arrived, I felt pressured and frantically searched for relevant information.
But when I went back, my mindset was completely different.
The mountain road winds its way through the endless green hills.
When we arrived at Suicheng Airport, there were still more than four hours before our flight took off.
The photographer wanted to buy some local specialties to send back home, but Wen Jin wasn't too interested in these things and sat properly in the waiting area, looking at the items.
A message notification came through my phone.
Fu Yanjing asked her what time she would land.
Wen Jin also estimated the time and gave a rough estimate.
Anyway, it was already evening.
Suddenly, a mysterious voice came from over there:
"There's still time."
"In time for what?" Wen Jin was about to ask, feigning profundity.
A ring rolled to his feet.
The diamonds on it are so dazzling that it's hard not to notice them.
Wen Jin picked it up as well, and looked up to see a beautiful woman walking over.
She has a sweet appearance and is dressed like a rich heiress. Her face is full of collagen, but her expression carries a hint of tired dissatisfaction.
She wasn't worried even when she lost something expensive.
He walked this way impatiently, muttering to himself.
"Damn it, how did I bring this unlucky thing out with me?"
I don't really like the item, but it was found by someone else after all.
When she met Wen Jinye's gaze, she quickly suppressed her displeasure.
Thank you.
"fine."
She then sat down next to Wen Jinye.
He glanced at Wen Jin several times out of the corner of his eye.
After hesitating for a moment, she finally spoke: "Hello, may I use your phone? I want to make a call."
Wen Jin was also puzzled.
Thinking that her phone might be out of battery, I brought up the dial pad on my phone and handed it to her.
The other end thanked him again, typing out a long string of Arabic numerals with practiced ease.
The call was answered quickly.
She felt like she had found a savior.
"Baby~ Waaaaah, I can finally call you!"
The woman on the other end of the phone asked something, and she immediately looked distressed.
“He knew I wouldn’t just give up so easily and behave myself. There’s always something fishy going on, and he’s not stupid. He confiscated my visa beforehand. He probably anticipated that I would play along and run away after the engagement, but he didn’t expect me to run away before the engagement was even finalized.”
"Anyway, I've already run away, so they definitely won't stop for a while. But don't worry, I brought half a suitcase full of cash. And thanks to my VIP status, I've been doing pretty well at the airport these past few days."
"I have to go now, I borrowed the phone and I have to return it. I just wanted to let you know I'm safe."
After hanging up the phone, the woman returned the phone to Wen Jinye and thanked him crisply.
"I have nothing to repay you with, but can I give you some money?"
Recalling the few words she overheard on the phone, Wen Jin waved her hand.
"No need, just take care of yourself."
The woman looked around, her alertness now apparent.
After all, her running away from the wedding was an insult to the man.
Given the status of the man's family, the media will most likely report on it extensively; it will certainly become a popular anecdote about a wealthy family.
The woman, acting suspiciously, began to confess without being asked, clasping her hands together and bowing in front of Wen Jinye.
"You probably didn't pick up on anything, right? If you guess anything, be sure to keep it a secret."
Given the current speed at which netizens are going online...
But she didn't expect that Wen Jin was also someone who had just come from the mountains.
He blinked, feeling confused, and was made uncomfortable by the girl's actions.
"Next time you do something really bad, could you be a little more confident?"
The girl chuckled awkwardly twice and left.
Wen Jin also thought that they were just strangers who met by chance.
The person you're talking to on the phone with should have absolutely no connection to you.
Unexpectedly, just before boarding the plane, she received another call from the other party's best friend.
The other party had changed their number, but their straightforward words allowed Wen Jin to immediately identify who it was.
The voice was urgent, "Hello, I know it's presumptuous of me to call, but can you still reach Shang Jinzhao now?"
She spoke very quickly, as if afraid that if she was even a second late, she would be too late.
"Those two sides have really gone to great lengths; my phone has been tapped. If you can contact her, please tell her to leave Suicheng immediately."
The boarding announcement echoed in her ears, and Wen Jin surprisingly said, "Sorry, I can't reach her."
"It's over, she's really going to be taken away and married off to an old man."
...
The little incident before boarding passed quickly.
The plane pierced through the dark clouds, and the lights of thousands of homes shrank into a small, flickering field of light at an altitude of ten thousand meters.
The plane landed smoothly in Jiangbei.
Wen Jin also turned off airplane mode on her phone as she crossed the corridor.
The photographer remarked, "The station is really going all out this time, arranging a special car to pick us up. It seems they really think highly of this project."
He also discussed with Wen Jin, "Could you drop me off first? Your house is a little out of the way, mainly because my child is being noisy..."
As he spoke, he noticed that Wen Jin hadn't said a word the entire time.
Instead, they stopped in front of the glass of the covered bridge.
"Reporter Wen?"
Wen Jin also came to her senses, "You go first, I won't go back with the car."
He was surprised; he didn't mean to have the car to himself. "Is someone coming to pick you up?"
Wen Jin also looked down at her buzzing phone, where Fu Yanjing's phone number was flashing at the top of the screen.
Less than five minutes after she stepped off the plane, shortly after she had turned off airplane mode.
The call seemed to be timed perfectly, made specifically for her.
That's just right.
Wen Jin suddenly had a premonition.
He was there.
People come and go around me.
Her figure standing here wouldn't attract anyone's attention.
Apart from--
Why aren't you answering the phone?
The deep, magnetic voice came from behind him.
