Chapter 42 You Probably Don’t Remember
Jiang Tingwan was slightly surprised and gently struggled with her wrist, signaling Lu Zhaoye to let go.
Lu Zhaoye narrowed his eyes, his gaze lingered on Xie Duo's face for a moment, but he finally let her go.
Jiang Tingwan turned around and gave Xie Duo a gentle smile.
"Thank you, sir."
Xie Duo’s gaze remained the same, his voice low.
"Thank you."
He only said his name, but it seemed as if he had countless unspoken words.
Jiang Tingwan couldn't see through the emotions surging in his eyes.
But she wondered if he had anything to do with the drugging that night?
His eyes were always unrestrained, but there was no explicit desire in them.
She couldn't understand what it was.
Just then, Provincial Party Committee Secretary Xie came over.
His eyes swept between Jiang Tingwan and Xie Duo, and then he said to Lu Zhaoye with a smile.
"Zhao Ye, I just happen to have something to talk to you about."
Lu Zhaoye frowned slightly, obviously worried about leaving Jiang Tingwan and Xie Duo alone.
But the Xie family and the Lu family had a close relationship, so he couldn't refuse and had to follow Provincial Party Committee Xie to the side.
Before leaving, he looked back at Jiang Tingwan with a warning look - don't mess around.
Jiang Tingwan pretended not to see it and turned to smile at Xie Duo.
"Master Xie, do you want to take a walk in the garden?"
Xie Duo nodded: "Okay."
-------------------------------------------
The moonlight was like water, sprinkling on the bluestone path in the Xie family courtyard.
The two walked side by side, Xie Duo was tall and straight, his aura was as steady as a mountain;
Jiang Tingwan had a slender figure. She occasionally tilted her head to the side and smiled. The moonlight outlined her delicate profile.
"It was a pity that I didn't get to greet Mr. Xie at the last Jiang family banquet."
Jiang Tingwan spoke softly, but she wanted to test his reaction.
Seeing that Xie Duo looked normal, she said calmly.
"Something happened suddenly, so I left early."
This is also true in the investigation surveillance.
Jiang Tingwan gently stroked the jade bracelet on her wrist with her fingertips.
"It's strange. After meeting each other twice, I always feel that Mr. Xie is a little familiar... Have we met before?"
Xie Duo paused, looked sideways at her, a trace of fluctuation flashed in his eyes.
"You probably don't remember."
His voice was low, with a hint of barely perceptible sadness.
Have you really seen it?
Jiang Tingwan was surprised in her heart but did not show it on her face. She just tilted her head slightly with a puzzled look.
Seeing her reaction like this, Xie Duo showed a trace of relief and rarely raised the corner of his mouth.
"How about Miss Jiang accompany me somewhere some other time?"
The two of them paused.
Under the moonlight, Jiang Tingwan looked at him carefully.
The person in front of me has cold and pale skin and sharp facial features, but he seems reserved because of his calm temperament.
With broad shoulders and a narrow waist, the figure under the suit is obviously the result of years of exercise.
Obviously he should be a sharp-edged person, but he has a sense of steadiness like a veteran cadre.
But his eyes were contradictory - hot, direct, and fell on her face without any concealment.
For some unknown reason, Jiang Tingwan nodded: "Okay."
"Wanwan!"
Lu Yiqiao's call came from a distance.
Jiang Tingwan glanced in the direction of the voice and said to Xie Duo.
"My friend wants to see me, so I have to excuse myself first."
As soon as she turned around, Xie Duo grabbed her wrist.
"What's wrong?" She turned back in confusion.
Xie Duo's eyes were heavy: "Contact information."
Jiang Tingwan laughed, took out her cell phone and exchanged contact information with him before leaving.
Xie Duo stood there, watching her figure gradually disappear in the moonlight.
-------------------------------------------
It was six o'clock in the morning and the light was dim.
The rare sufficient sleep made Jiang Tingwan feel refreshed.
Passing by a flower shop, she picked up a bunch of white tulips, ready to add some vitality to Jiang Shixu's office.
The elevator slowly descended, and she looked out the window casually, just at this moment a silver Bugatti drove into her sight.
The streamlined body of the car glows with a cold metallic luster in the morning light, like a dormant beast.
The car door rose like a wing, and a familiar figure walked down from the driver's seat.
I saw the man turned around.
Jiang Tingwan was stunned.
Ruan Yue?
Her eyes narrowed, she took out her cell phone, took a photo, tapped the screen with her fingertips and sent it to her men.
"Check who owns this car."
Why did Ruan Yue get out of someone else's car so early in the morning?
In love?
She frowned slightly.
During these banquets and social events, Ruan Yue always followed her obediently, and she never showed any special interest in any young man from aristocratic family.
But this supercar worth hundreds of millions is definitely not something that ordinary wealthy families can afford.
What's even more strange is that people like Lu Zhaoye and Chen Guan, who are of such status and position, would deliberately avoid such a flashy car.
Who would that be.
-------------------------------------------
As the lights came on, Jiang Tingwan had dinner with Lu Zhaoye as promised.
"What do you want to eat?"
She got in the car.
Lu Zhaoye supported his head with one hand, a playful smile on the corner of his lips.
"Let's go to the place where Lin Daiyu showed off her skills last time."
Jiang Tingwan glanced at him sideways.
Why does this person like to mention her so much?
Different from last time.
This time, when the manager saw Jiang Tingwan, he immediately put down what he was doing and walked quickly towards her.
Did she become famous in one battle?
"Ms. Jiang, you are welcome. I will take you to the VIP room."
The manager bowed and led the way, with obvious nervousness in his voice.
Jiang Tingwan sighed in her heart. Chen Ping had ruined her image like this.
Lu Zhaoye looked at her expression and found it funny.
"It seems that Young Master Chen's ten fingers are more useful than any VIP card."
Jiang Tingwan chuckled: "If Mr. Lu is envious, why not step on a few of them?"
"No thanks."
Lu Zhaoye leaned lazily on the back of his chair.
"The rule of our Lu family is that men only serve as thugs for their wives."
Jiang Tingwan looked at the menu and responded casually: "Mrs. Lu is so lucky."
Lu Zhaoye did not respond.
Wait until all dishes are served.
Jiang Tingwan took out her cell phone and pushed the photos she took in the morning in front of Lu Zhaoye.
"Do you recognize this car?"
Lu Zhaoye took a quick glance and picked up the food slowly.
"You want me to be a private investigator?"
This means I definitely know what it means.
"One meal is not enough?" Jiang Tingwan raised her eyebrows.
"Not enough." He put down his chopsticks, his eyes burning, "I want interest."
Jiang Tingwan raised her eyebrows: "For example?"
"Next time, please accompany me to inspect the project."
"Deal." Jiang Tingwan agreed readily.
There is nothing wrong in accompanying him for the inspection, and we can also see if there is anything that can be used by the hotel.
Lu Zhaoye then spoke with satisfaction: "This is the car that Si Yan, the young master of the Si family, rides. There are only three of them in the world."
"Si Yan?"
Jiang Tingwan paused, "How could Ruan Yue have anything to do with him?"
She frowned slightly: "The old man of the Si family attaches great importance to the family's reputation, and his brother is the director of the Finance Bureau. How can he be allowed to be so ostentatious?"
Lu Zhaoye played with the teacup, and the tea in the cup reflected his deep eyebrows.
"The young master of the Si family is an outlier. In order to resist his father's discipline, he drove fast on the winding mountain road and fell off a cliff with his car."
"Not dead?" Jiang Tingwan was surprised.
"He's lucky. He only has three broken ribs." Lu Zhaoye took a sip of tea.
"Since then, the Si family has let him go. Anyway, with the old man in charge, his brother's career is as stable as a rock."
Jiang Tingwan stroked the rim of the cup thoughtfully.
A man like Si Yan who plays with his life, and a person like Ruan Yue who is so gentle, there is no way they should have any intersection.
Could it be because Si Yan saved her here last time?
She suddenly remembered Ruan Yue's panic-stricken look at the banquet that night.
Could it be that Si Yan was the person she was avoiding?
