Chapter 40: How can I meet so many people just when I go out for a drink?
Lu Shiman took people to her large flat in the east of the city, a place she rarely came to.
In Jincheng, Lu Shiman has many houses, and he gives one away here and one away there.
The original owner rarely lived there, and many of the houses had even been forgotten by her in unknown corners.
Not to mention Lu Shiman, who got into trouble with Ji Linshen after she came. Apart from living in Lu's house, she spent more time in Ji Linshen's villa.
I have hardly ever set foot in other places.
The house was very clean, probably maintained regularly.
Qin Jiaojiao was not polite at all. She took off her shoes, walked into the house, and went straight to the sofa.
She lay on the sofa, looking at the exquisite chandelier on the ceiling, and said lazily, "Man, what would I do without you?"
"Promise me that I will be your only lover in this life, okay?"
Lu Shiman had never been here before, so she seemed even more unfamiliar with the place than Qin Jiaojiao.
Touring the house bit by bit.
The house is very big, about 200 square meters, and the decoration style is luxurious, like a magnificent palace. Every detail shows the original owner's luxurious taste.
After Lu Shiman finished the tour, he walked to the sofa and sat down, crossed his legs and looked at Qin Jiaojiao, who looked like she had no bones. "Are you going to hide like this?"
"Then what do you think I should do?" Qin Jiaojiao didn't know what to do in the future. It was impossible for her to go home.
She no longer had a place in the family. In their eyes, there was only Qin Fangfei, not her.
The loneliness in her eyes was too glaring. Lu Shiman felt a little distressed when he saw it. He sat down next to her and gently tapped her head: "Then you can stay here with me without worry. I will support you."
"I'm very good at spending money." Qin Jiaojiao lay on the sofa, blinked back her tears, stared at Lu Shiman and laughed.
"It's okay, I can steal my brothers' money to support you. I have four brothers, so stealing a little from each one is enough." Lu Shiman noticed the slight tremor in her voice and tilted his head to look out the window.
The afterglow of the setting sun shines through the floor-to-ceiling windows into the entire living room, giving the spacious space a warm golden edge.
At this moment, Lu Shiman felt that it was good to have friends.
"What do you want to eat tonight? Do you want to go out or just order takeout?" Lu Shiman changed the subject.
"Let's go eat barbecue. The sizzling barbecue is so delicious." Qin Jiaojiao immediately jumped up from the sofa with energy when she mentioned food.
Qin Jiaojiao went to Lu Shiman's cloakroom to change clothes, and then took Lu Shiman out.
*
Inside an abandoned warehouse.
The few remaining lights emitted a faint yellowish light, and it was completely dark outside.
Huo Beiyan stood at the door, took out a cigarette box from his pocket, put a cigarette in his mouth, the lighter made a crisp sound, he tilted his head slightly to light the cigarette, and the bluish-white smoke blurred his face.
Ji Linshen came out of the warehouse, straightened his cuffs, and his sinister and cold eyes subsided.
"Did you find out?" Huo Beiyan turned around when he heard the noise, exhaled a puff of smoke and asked.
Ji Linshen frowned slightly and did not directly answer Huo Beiyan's question: "How is your investigation going?"
Huo Beiyan put out the cigarette in his hand, threw it to the ground, and tapped it with his toes: "There are some clues, but it will take some time."
"Ji Bochang ran away again?"
"Well, there are only a few minions here." Ji Lin's eyes were deep.
Three months ago, Huo Beiyan nearly died abroad. The new drug they jointly developed was stolen and the internal core information was destroyed.
When Huo Beiyan was investigating, the clues were lost with Ji Bochang, who had even escaped some time ago.
Almost no one can escape from Ji Linshen's palm. Ji Bo is always successful, so there must be someone helping him behind the scenes, but this person is hiding too deeply.
Ji Linshen tugged at his tie and said, "I'll leave this to your people. Let me know if you have any news."
"Yeah." Huo Beiyan turned his head and glanced behind him. Under the dim light in the warehouse, several tied-up minions huddled in the corner, their eyes full of fear.
He retracted his gaze and nodded to Ji Linshen, indicating that he understood.
Ji Linshen turned around and was about to leave, but suddenly stopped and glanced at Huo Beiyan's face: "When are you getting married?"
Huo Beiyan chuckled, his voice so soft that it was barely audible: "Almost there."
Ji Lin stared at him deeply for a while, said nothing, and turned away.
Back in the car, Ji Linshen leaned back on the seat with a tired look and reached out to unbutton his shirt.
The image of Lu Shiman staring at his collarbone suddenly popped up in his mind, and the corners of his mouth curled up unconsciously.
"Chu Qi, is Lu Shiman still in the office?" Ji Lin asked in a deep voice.
Chu Qi's back stiffened. They had received the news at noon and were busy dealing with things along the way. He really didn't pay attention to Lu Shiman's situation.
"Master, I'll contact the office right away to confirm." Chu Qi said as he hurriedly took out his cell phone.
A moment later, Chu Qi reported: "Master, Miss Lu... left shortly after you left."
Upon hearing this, Ji Linshen gently turned his watch with his bony fingers.
He is really naughty. People who are naughty should be punished.
"Check her location." He ordered in a cold voice. Ji Lin closed his eyes tightly. His temples were throbbing with pain, making him feel uncomfortable.
After Lu Shiman and Qin Jiaojiao finished eating barbecue, the other party was obviously not satisfied and kept clamoring to go to the bar for a couple of drinks.
She couldn't resist Qin Jiaojiao, so she just went along with her and went to the bar to drink with her.
Before she even stepped into the bar, Lu Shiman heard a familiar voice calling her from behind.
Hearing the voice, he turned around and saw that it was none other than Fu Bowang.
Behind him was a person of similar age, who looked like Fu Bowang's friend.
Among these people, she was only familiar with one, and that was Fu Bowang's childhood friend, Gu Ze.
When Gu Ze saw Lu Shiman, he took a step forward, hiding the disdain in his eyes, and said with a smile: "I was wondering why you didn't come to see Bo Wang recently."
"This is not the place you should be, go back!" Fu Bowang stared at Lu Shiman and said.
Ever since Lu Shiman vomited on his hand in the hotel, he clearly felt Lu Shiman's coldness towards him.
At first, he thought it was the other party's method of playing hard to get, but he felt a little unhappy because he hadn't contacted him for more than ten days in a row.
When pursuing him, she is shameless and like a dog-skin plaster, but when she stops pursuing him, she just leaves him aside. Who does she think he is, Fu Bowang?
Thinking of this, his face became even darker. This woman was as annoying as ever. She was annoying when she was like a dog-skin plaster, and now she was even more annoying when she ignored him.
Lu Shiman rolled her eyes at him without even a good look on her face, and turned to leave with Qin Jiaojiao.
Gu Ze immediately stopped him: "Hey, since you're here, why not go together? We'll have two acquaintances later."
"Not interested." Lu Shiman didn't want to have too much involvement with Fu Bowang.
"Lin Yanxin and Qin Fangfei will be here soon. Aren't they your sisters? Let's go together." The smile on Gu Ze's face became even wider.
When Qin Jiaojiao heard Qin Fangfei's name, she felt a little more angry.
Fu Boyang's gaze fell on Lu Shiman. He hadn't seen her for more than half a month, and she was much prettier than before. However, no matter how beautiful she was, it couldn't cover up the viciousness and ugliness in her heart.
"Sorry, we are late and brought a new friend with us. I hope you don't mind?" Lin Yanxin's sweet voice sounded from the side.
Everyone looked in the direction of the sound.
There were two beautiful women standing next to Lin Yanxin, one of them was Qin Jiaojiao's cousin, Qin Fangfei.
The other one is Liu Ning, whom I met in Ji Linshen’s office today.
Lu Shiman had a strange expression on his face. How could two people who had nothing in common know each other and meet each other by coincidence?
