Chapter 51 Chapter 51 Travel with me
Wen Yao was already feeling much better. She got up from the bed and shook her head, "No need. Go back. I'm much better now."
"Are you sure?" Jiang Yue asked.
Wen Yao nodded affirmatively: "Sure."
Jiang Yue took his things and the two of them checked out.
The cocktail party was coming to an end. Jiang Yue went to say hello to the people he knew. When he was coming out, Guan Xiaoya also walked out of the venue from the other side.
Wen Yao, who was near the exit, saw this scene and immediately ran over to grab Jiang Yue. She only breathed a sigh of relief after Guan Xiaoya left.
The two waited in the venue for another ten minutes, and only left after confirming that Guan Xiaoya had gotten into the car.
As expected, she didn't see Guan Xiaoya in the elevator or in the parking lot. They got in the car and Wen Yao looked outside again. It was already late at night outside. There were only a few figures under the lights, but Guan Xiaoya was nowhere to be seen. She looked at the time and it was already 10:30 in the evening.
"It's half past ten. The day is almost over. It should have been a peaceful day, right?" She looked at Jiang Yue.
Jiang Yue's brows were much more relaxed than at the beginning of the cocktail party, and he was in a good mood. He replied, "It should be." Then he said, "I asked the security guard, and they said only our elevator had a problem. The other elevators are operating normally."
Wen Yao laughed, so the elevator failure was indeed with him. If the state of luck here could be seen, Jiang Yue must be surrounded by a ball of black air.
Looking at him, Wen Yao teased, "I suddenly thought, it's not Guan Xiaoya who influenced you, but you who influenced Guan Xiaoya. Maybe if you didn't start with her, she could still become a top-tier actress."
That’s right, Jiang Yue suffered a miserable fate after being cuckolded, but Guan Xiaoya was not much better off. Jiang Yue was a very authoritarian person and looked down on Guan Xiaoya’s career, so after marriage he naturally ordered Guan Xiaoya to quit the entertainment industry. In this way, Guan Xiaoya became a rich wife with nothing but pocket money.
At the same time, Jiang Yue is a workaholic, single-mindedly fighting against the male protagonist Jiang Lin. He didn't like Guan Xiaoya in the first place, just playing around, and after a while, he got tired of her and didn't pay much attention to her. In this state of emptiness and depression, Guan Xiaoya got together with her ex-boyfriend, who started cheating on Jiang Yue, using drugs, and then dragging Jiang Yue into sex. When Jiang Yue discovered the truth, he was furious and beat Guan Xiaoya violently, and finally accidentally killed her. Both of them had a bad ending.
The car started moving, and the street lights outside flashed across the car. Jiang Yue glanced at her and said calmly, "So for your own sake, it's best if you can influence me, rather than me influencing you."
"Isn't this affecting you? It's affecting you in a very positive way." Wen Yao muttered.
Jiang Yue didn't reply, but just looked out of the car quietly.
Her shadow was reflected on the car window glass, with her hair tied up, revealing her small face and slender neck. Her originally pure and beautiful face was even more charming because of the carefully applied makeup. She seemed to be the kind of person who was particularly easy to dress up. As long as she combed her hair and put on some light makeup, she would become a fresh and natural beauty. But most of the time she was too lazy to even wash her hair.
Jiang Yue really wanted to ask her a few more questions about why she drank that glass of ice wine, but this topic had already been discussed in the elevator before, and there seemed no need to bring it up again, but he just wanted to know more.
Her mission was clearly just to ensure that he had no involvement with Guan Xiaoya, and it did not include helping him gain Zhou Zesheng's favor, so why did she do that?
…
It had been a tiring day, and Wen Yao showered and lay down as soon as she returned to her room. Feeling uncomfortable and a little tired, she fell asleep quickly. After all, she was a wealthy young lady with nothing to do, so she could sleep until noon, as long as she didn't feel hungry.
However, when she was woken by the ringing of the phone, she checked the time on her phone and saw that it was only 6:30 in the morning, which was practically the early morning for her.
Unsurprisingly, the bastard who woke her up was Jiang Yue. She didn't have many friends in her phone, and the only people in the world who could call her were advertising scammers and Jiang Yue. Advertising scammers were also very ethical and would not call her so early in the morning.
With a grumpy and angry look, Wen Yao said unhappily, "What are you doing so early in the morning?"
Jiang Yue's voice sounded refreshed. It was obvious that he had finished working out and taking a shower. He didn't care about her complaints at all and said calmly, "Get up. The flight to Beijing is at 8:30."
Wen Yao knew that Jiang Yue was a very busy man and always had to go on business trips. Beijing was a city with a high frequency of business trips, and he often made a round trip in one day, but what did this have to do with her?
"Go wherever you want, what does it have to do with me?" she replied angrily.
Jiang Yue continued, "Come with me. I found out that Guan Xiaoya is filming in Beijing."
"They are filming and can't hurt you. Don't worry, it's okay." Wen Yao's voice was getting lower and lower as she spoke, and it seemed that she had fallen asleep again.
Jiang Yue didn't let her go in, and ordered on the phone: "I don't want to accept even if the probability is one in ten thousand. If you don't get up, I will ask Sister Chen to knock on the door?"
Wen Yao accepted her fate. If someone doesn't want you to sleep with him, he has a thousand ways to do it, and you can't resist.
"Jiang Yue, I really regret opening the document last year!" Wen Yao gritted her teeth in hatred and got up from the bed helplessly.
If she hadn't opened the document last year, hadn't typed the novel, hadn't uploaded it to the website, and hadn't worked so hard to earn royalties, she wouldn't have come to this damn place and met this damn man!
Often when you don’t sleep well, you think about continuing to sleep when you have the chance, but when that opportunity comes, you usually can’t fall asleep, and you can only drag your tired body to look at the world awake.
Wen Yao sat motionless in Jiang Yue's business car, staring blankly at the scenery outside the window with a dejected look on her face.
Until Jiang Yue took her into the first class cabin of the plane.
Wen Yao was fully awake by this time. It was her first time in first class, and she felt very novel. However, for the sake of face, she tried to act as if she was tired of riding in this thing, and followed Jiang Yue to her seat.
When she was about to sit down, Jiang Yue asked her, "Do you want to sit by the window?"
Wen Yao couldn't help but feel happy, but said indifferently: "Okay, then I'll sit by the window." Passing in front of Jiang Yue and taking a window seat, Wen Yao was very happy. In fact, she had never been on a plane in her life, but she had seen people post pictures of clouds outside the window and the bird's-eye view from the window on WeChat Moments. She knew how beautiful it was, so she was naturally looking forward to the window seat.
After Jiang Yue sat down, he picked up the newspaper on the magazine rack in front of him and started reading. Wen Yao wanted to adjust the seat, and she observed and fumbled for a long time, but she didn't know where the switch was.
What kind of first-class cabin is this? The design is not user-friendly at all.
Wen Yao turned her head to ask Jiang Yue, but hesitated for a moment, then held back and began to explore on her own again. Then she saw a button on her left hand side and pressed it in surprise.
Then Jiang Yue's seat back began to move forward, and he turned his head to look at her.
Wen Yao immediately let go and said embarrassedly: "Ahem... I want to adjust the backrest of my seat."
Jiang Yue reached over and adjusted his backrest, then said slowly, "Move back a little to your right."
Wen Yao had actually touched the right side just now. Now, after hearing Jiang Yue's reminder, she boldly searched for it again. Sure enough, she found it and adjusted her angle. She smiled innocently: "This one is too hard to find."
Jiang Yue looked at her for a while and said in a calm voice, "Silly girl." Then he lowered his head to read his newspaper.
Wen Yao was inexplicably called a fool and wanted to argue with him about what he meant, but seeing that he didn't seem to have any ill intentions and that she was the one who was influencing others first, she just squinted at him and didn't argue with him.
Beijing is not far from Binjiang, and it takes less than two hours by plane.
This Jing City is just a pseudonym for the capital city in the real world, so naturally it is exactly the same as the capital city. Wen Yao had visited here once before and had a preliminary understanding of it, but it was limited to the scenic spots she had visited, the buses and subways, the districts, etc. The rest she only knew about the humanities and geography she learned from books.
When we arrived at the airport, someone from the branch was already there to pick us up. After we got in the car, the receptionist asked, "Mr. Jiang, are we going to the hotel or the company?"
Jiang Yue replied: "Let's go to Yongning Street first."
The receptionist replied "OK" and didn't ask any more questions. Wen Yao didn't care much. She just looked at the scenery outside the car window without blinking, and the receptionist's Beijing accent was still lingering in her ears.
Growing up and working in the south, she finds the Beijing accent particularly interesting, just like watching a TV drama, so she pricks up her ears when she hears it.
The streets here are also completely different from those along the river. They are not as clean and modern, but more ancient and calm, reflecting the thousands of years of dynasty history behind them.
It was already noon at this time and there was not much traffic, so we arrived at Yongning Street in half an hour.
The car drove into an alley and found an open space to stop. Jiang Yue asked someone to wait in the car and got out himself.
Turning around, I saw Wen Yao still sitting in the car looking outside, glancing here and there, like a child looking at the candies in the window.
"What are you sitting here waiting for? Come down." Jiang Yue said outside the window.
Wen Yao came to her senses and got out of the car reluctantly: "There's no need to be so cautious. Guan Xiaoya didn't follow you. She doesn't even know you now, okay?"
Jiang Yue said nothing, but just walked forward. Wen Yao had no choice but to follow him.
This place looked like an authentic alley in the capital. Wen Yao didn't know what he was going to do there, but thought he was probably discussing business. Then she could only stand there in a daze.
After walking a few steps, Jiang Yue brought her into a large courtyard. Wen Yao was surprised again. This seemed to be the legendary quadrangle courtyard!
Only when she came in did she realize that there were many families living there, about seven or eight in total. From one window came the sound of Peking opera, and from another the sound of piano. The echoes of the east and the west were quite interesting.
In the house closer to the inside, there was an old man watering the flowers with a watering can. There were several kinds of crabapples planted in front of his door, as well as several pots of lush roses, as well as potted crape myrtles, red pomegranates, etc. There was a birdcage hanging above, with two birds she didn't recognize chirping in it. This life looked very comfortable.
Jiang Yue walked forward and said to the old man, "Uncle Li, I'm here."
