Chapter 9
There were many well-dressed people in the banquet hall, but Ji Liao didn't recognize any of them.
But it doesn’t matter, just consider it as an experience.
After entering, Wen Qiu started socializing. Ji Liao followed Wen Qiu and after greeting the two groups of people, he left Wen Qiu's side with an excuse.
He really couldn't handle it, so he might as well just be casual.
There was a buffet at the venue, and everyone was holding a glass of champagne. Ji Liao also held a glass as a cover and took the opportunity to eat some small cakes.
You know what, these little bite-sized pastries taste pretty good, and they are quite appetizing when paired with the champagne in my hand.
When he took the third glass of champagne from the waiter's tray, someone took the initiative to talk to Ji Liao:
"You're here."
Ji Liao was chewing some pastry. He blinked when he heard this and quickly took a big gulp of wine.
Then he spoke fluently:
"Hello."
The person who came was Lou Yue.
Unlike the dishevel he looked that day, Lou Yue was dressed in a suit and tie today, looking sparkling.
Ji Liao and Lou Yue are about the same height and have similar figures. If you look at the photos alone, their facial features are even similar.
But now standing together, Lou Yue's rosy white skin, her bright and watery eyes, her noble and elegant temperament, her faint fragrance...
For a moment, Ji Liao felt ashamed of himself.
But it was only for a moment, and Ji Liao quickly reconciled himself.
Lou Yue is the protagonist of this novel world! He is just a cannon fodder, how can he compare with the protagonist?
"Thank you so much for that day."
Lou Yue is worthy of being a singer, her voice is very pleasant.
Both gentle and slow.
Ji Liao felt comfortable listening to it and blurted out:
"You're welcome, really."
Lou Yue smiled and shook his head:
"I still have to thank him. I knew that Brother Qiu knew you, so I took the initiative to ask Brother Qiu to bring you here so that I could express my gratitude in person."
"You're so polite."
Ji Liao had already accepted Lou Yue's money, so he felt embarrassed to be thanked by Lou Yue again.
Fortunately, Meng Shuyi came over.
Meng Shuyi still had the same cold and sick look on his face as he did that day.
He was also wearing a suit, and his bow tie was stuck tightly around his neck, as if it was holding a wild beast.
Ji Liao suddenly felt oppressed.
Although he didn't smell anything.
"My parents want to talk to you." Meng Shuyi said to Lou Yue.
"good."
Lou Yue nodded, said "sorry" to Ji Liao, and turned away.
Meng Shuyi did not follow immediately, but looked at Ji Liao.
Ji Liao took a step back as if facing a formidable enemy.
Although Wen Qiu is the villain, Meng Shuyi looks even scarier.
But Meng Shuyi just took out his cell phone and said:
"Add a friend."
"?"
Ji Liao didn't understand why the protagonist A added him, but he didn't dare to ask. He quickly took out his mobile phone, scanned the code, and added him.
As soon as he added it, his phone buzzed and Ji Liao received a transfer of 200,000 yuan.
Ji Liao:!!!
Under Ji Liao's shocked gaze, Meng Shuyi calmly put away his phone, said "thank you", and then walked towards Lou Yue, leaving Ji Liao where he was.
Ji Liao looked down at his phone. Could he accept the money?
"Take it."
As if hearing Ji Liao's inner thoughts, Wen Qiu's voice rang in his ears.
"Mr. Wen."
Ji Liao greeted him but still didn't have the courage to take action.
Wen Qiu gave him money, and he accepted it happily because of his relationship with Wen Qiu and it was Wen Qiu who "bought" it in the first place.
But Meng Shuyi...
"He's thanking you for Lou Yue. What? Do you think Lou Yue's safety isn't worth this little money?"
Wen Qiu took a sip of champagne, and it was impossible to tell whether he was happy or angry.
"value."
Ji Liao decisively pressed the collect button.
Why is he so aloof? Rich people are happy to spend money to express themselves, so why is he too embarrassed to accept it because of his moral sense?
Collect, collect, collect, collect as much as you give!
After Wen Qiu finished speaking, his gaze shifted from Ji Liao's phone to Lou Yue in the distance.
Lou Yue and Meng Shuyi were standing together, talking to the elders of the Meng family.
The incident at the Menglan Hotel might have been telling him that what was supposed to happen would always happen, and he needed to complete the part he was supposed to complete.
Lou Yue's happiness has only a little bit to do with him.
Wen Qiu felt lost for a moment, but soon a sense of joy welled up from the depths of his heart.
He no longer needs to consider anyone in his life.
From this moment on, he lived for himself.
His eyes moved again and he and Lu Hongda looked at each other.
As a family friend of the Lou family, Lu Hongda would of course be present at this occasion.
But Lu Hongda's face was not good when facing Wen Qiu.
Lu Hongda used his eyes to "point" viciously at Ji Liao who was next to Wen Qiu.
Wen Qiu smiled and raised his glass to Lu Hongda.
He didn't go to the blind date at the weekend.
Lu Hongda asked him to deal with Ji Liao, but he didn't.
Lu Hongda was angry.
Wen Qiu was very happy.
Ji Liao was also happy.
Putting away his phone, Ji Liao calculated his balance in his mind.
Buy a house, you can definitely buy a house!
When you are in a good mood, everyone seems friendly to you.
Looking around the room, there were a few familiar faces.
Ji Liao secretly said to Wen Qiu: "Mr. Wen, those people wanted to push Mr. Lou out that day."
In the original novel, Lou Yue himself is quite generous and never holds a grudge against others.
Because of this, he shouldn't suffer for it.
None of the alphas present can possibly be caught, including the Omegas who ran away.
"knew."
Wen Qiu followed Ji Liao's instructions and wrote down a few names and sent them to Meng Shuyi.
It is Meng Shuyi's responsibility to protect Lou Yue, and he will not interfere.
After sending it, he patted Ji Liao's shoulder.
"I'm tired, let's go."
"Leave?" Ji Liao was surprised.
The wedding banquet hasn't started yet!
He hasn't tasted the delicious food yet!
Wen Qiu didn't hear Ji Liao's thoughts this time. His task was to attend the engagement party.
He has been here, and it is time for him to go.
He handed the cup to a passing waiter and walked away.
Ji Liao had no choice but to follow.
In the original novel, Wen Qiu was stimulated at the engagement party and became very depressed.
Ji Liao stole a glance at Wen Qiu's profile. Besides being gentle and elegant, he even saw a hint of a smile on his face. He didn't look depressed at all.
Is it hidden deep?
Ji Liao racked his brains to think of how to comfort Wen Qiu. When he reached the door, he finally managed to say:
"Mr. Wen, are you okay?"
After saying that, he looked around and added in a low voice: "Want to bite me?"
The two had already reached the door, and Wen Qiu looked down at Ji Liao in confusion.
Before anyone could speak, someone whistled from the other side.
Ji Liao and Wen Qiu looked towards the source of the sound together.
"Isn't this Mr. Wen? Where are you going? Are you leaving now?"
The other person had his hair combed back, was not wearing a suit jacket, and was wearing a silk shirt without a tie or bow tie, with his collar wide open.
Although Ji Liao had never seen him before, he recognized him immediately.
This is one of Lou Yue's admirers and another cannon fodder in the original novel: Jiang Fei.
"Looking for trouble?"
Ji Liao murmured.
Yes, in the original book there are also cannon fodders looking for trouble, and then there is XXOO!
Ji Liao rubbed his hands and stared at Jiang Fei.
Wen Qiu:?
Wen Qiu always felt that there was something different about Ji Liao today, but before he had time to think about it, Jiang Fei had already approached.
"It's always enjoyable to smell it."
Jiang Fei's eyes fell on Ji Liao without hesitation, scanning him up and down:
"Boss Wen brought people here because he thought Lou Yue would be jealous?"
This made Ji Liao curious. How did Wen Qiu introduce him behind his back? ! !
Qiu obviously had no intention of explaining and responded indifferently:
"Mind your own business."
In the original novel, Jiang Fei is a young man. Although he is rich, his character is average. He has the intention of stealing but not the courage. He likes to say bad things when he has nothing to do. Later, he was sent abroad by Wen Qiu to dig coal.
Jiang Fei didn't know his fate at this moment, and continued to talk nonsense:
"Two million, give me the people."
Having said this, he started to pull Ji Liao.
Ji Liao was startled and quickly hid behind Wen Qiu.
He knew that Jiang Fei's words were meant to disgust Wen Qiu, but he was afraid that Wen Qiu didn't know, so he subconsciously asked for help:
"Mr. Wen."
He thought Wen Qiu would ignore him, but unexpectedly, Wen Qiu put his arms behind him.
Really keep him behind you.
"Get away from me."
Wen Qiu said bluntly.
At this time, the driver also drove the car over.
"Don't leave so quickly!" Jiang Fei stepped forward to block Wen Qiu, grinning and saying, "Why don't you have a fight? If you win, you get two million, and if you lose, give him to me."
"……ill."
Wen Qiu couldn't believe that he had actually said so much nonsense to the other party.
After his comments, he didn't plan to pay any more attention to Jiang Fei.
However, before he could take a step, Ji Liao suddenly grabbed his sleeve.
Ji Liao was really excited.
There is also this betting scene in the original novel!
The villain won the cannon fodder victory, and the money was later given to the original owner.
Rounding it off, that’s it for him!
This plot must go on!
"Mr. Wen," Ji Liao adjusted his expression and put on a stiff smile.
"Promise this gentleman to have a match."
You can win money after playing one match!
“…”
Wen Qiu looked at Ji Liao, but remained silent for a moment.
After a moment, he reminded Ji Liao: "He wants to use you as a bet."
Ji Liao nodded like garlic and said firmly:
"I know! But I believe Mr. Wen won't lose!"
"In my heart, Mr. Wen is the best!"
“…”
Speechless again, Wen Qiu understood.
Ji Liao must be afraid that he would give her to someone else.
After all, judging from Jiang Fei's tone, they are all birds of a feather.
well.
Wen Qiu sighed in his heart.
It's all his fault.
You have to take responsibility yourself.
"Let's go." Wen Qiu turned to Jiang Fei: "What are we competing for?"
Even if I strangle Jiang Fei to death today, I must let Jiang Fei know what human rights are.
Jiang Fei was immediately overjoyed and glanced at Ji Liao again.
Ji Liao shrank behind Wen Qiu to avoid Jiang Fei's sight.
