Although Jiang Ningning is not a beautiful girl from a wealthy family, she has worked in public relations for two years and can be said to be very versatile. She has connections in all circles and generally speaking, anything that is not too difficult can be solved by asking her.
"Thank you. I'll treat you to something delicious later."
"Does a luxurious hot pot meal have to represent your sincerity?"
"No problem." Zhou Qian agreed readily.
"If we find out tonight, can we eat it tonight?"
"...How long has it been since you last had hot pot? Why are you so anxious?"
"Baby Zhou, you're so boring! I just miss you, and you don't even get it?"
“…Forgive me for my carelessness.”
The two chatted for a few more sentences, and then Zhou Qian had a client coming over, so she hung up the phone first.
…
Before leaving get off work in the evening, Zhou Qian actually received a call from Jiang Ningning, saying that the matter she wanted to investigate had been settled.
"What's the other person's name?" Zhou Qian was a little impatient to know.
"Baby, don't you think it's better to chat while having hot pot?"
Zhou Qian smiled helplessly and could only bear it.
Twenty minutes later, Jiang Ningning drove over to pick her up.
As soon as Zhou Qian got in the car, Jiang Ningning's shrewd eyes darted around her, "Baby, you haven't been feeling well lately? Are you hiding something from me?"
Zhou Qian smiled speechlessly, "Didn't we say we could chat while we were drinking?"
Jiang Ningning made an 'OK' gesture, started the car and left.
Jiang Ningning chose the hot pot restaurant. Probably because she knew how rich her best friend was, she didn't choose one that was too expensive.
Since they arrived early, they chose a separate private room.
After ordering the dishes, Jiang Ningning leaned back in her chair, looking quite interrogative. "Tell me, what have you been doing behind my back lately?"
"Besides work, I was dragged out by my blind date for two days..."
"Fuck, are you guys confirming your relationship?" Jiang Ningning interrupted her excitedly.
Zhou Qian shook his head. "No, I just went out with a group of people to relax. I had an accident on the way and sprained my ankle. I rested at home for a few days."
"You didn't even tell me that you were injured. Am I no longer that important to you?" Jiang Ningning looked aggrieved.
Zhou Qian was amused by her, "It's nothing serious, and you were on a business trip those days, so I didn't tell you."
"Then why are you suddenly looking for the people who donated to you?"
"Didn't I tell you that?" Zhou Qian asked, "By the way, who are those people who donated to me?"
"There are no 'those'. From what I've found, there's only one person."
"What's your name?" Zhou Qian couldn't help but get nervous.
"A gentleman named Lu, he didn't leave his full name. You can take a look for yourself." Jiang Ningning handed her the information.
Last name Lu...
Zhou Qian wiped the sweat from his palms, trying his best to stop his hands from shaking. He took the document, opened it and looked at it carefully.
She thought it was the 'Lu' she imagined, but it wasn't. The information showed it was the 'Lu' of a fawn.
Lu...Deer...
A bold guess suddenly popped up in Zhou Qian's mind: Is it possible that Lu Jing is Xiaolu's brother?
She was shocked by her own thoughts. How could it be possible? How could Lu Jing be Brother Xiaolu?
Absolutely not.
"Hello? Hello..." Jiang Ningning called her twice when she saw that she didn't respond for a long time.
Zhou Qian snapped back to his senses. "Ah? What did you say?"
Jiang Ningning stared at her with sharp eyes, "Baby, you are hiding something from me."
"I'm indeed confirming some things. I'll tell you when I have the results."
"Let me know if you need my help."
"Um."
The waiter brought the ingredients and the two rolled up their sleeves and prepared to start eating.
Zhou Qian felt that her long hair was a nuisance, so she asked the waiter for a rubber band to tie it up. Jiang Ningning, who was sitting opposite her, noticed the red marks on her neck with her sharp eyes.
"You haven't broken up with Lu Jing yet?" Jiang Ningning asked in surprise.
Zhou Qian was stunned and looked up at her, wanting to ask her how she knew.
Jiang Ningning understood her look and pointed to her neck.
Zhou Qian immediately took out a mirror and looked at herself. There was indeed a faint mark, but her eyesight was good.
"I still have some things to deal with between him and me, so..." Zhou Qian was very confused and didn't know what to say. Even she herself didn't know what would happen in the future.
Jiang Ningning put down her chopsticks, held her chin and looked at her, "Baby, you are not attracted to him, are you?"
Zhou Qian looked at her guiltily, "If I really fell in love with him, would you call me a bitch?"
"I can scold you." Jiang Ningning spoke frankly, took a sip of water, and continued, "But it would be abnormal if you couldn't be moved by a man as good as Lu Jing."
Zhou Qian looked at her in surprise. The change was too fast.
"Why are you looking at me like that? Did I say something wrong?" Jiang Ningning stuffed the meat into her mouth while eating it.
Zhou Qian did not deny that Jiang Ningning was right. Whether on campus or in society, there was never a shortage of women who liked Lu Jing.
Jiang Ningning put some beef and tripe on her plate and said to her as usual,
"But I still have to remind you that liking a man like him will not end well. If you don't want to get hurt, get out of it now before you're completely caught up, so you don't end up with bruises all over your body."
Are you covered in bruises?
Zhou Qian was stunned. If that was really the case, why would he do so much for her?
"Hey, why aren't you talking?"
Zhou Qian smiled and said jokingly, "Maybe I'm an exception."
Jiang Ningning hit her right on the head, "There's no such thing as 'exceptions' for vagrants."
