Chapter 100: Cooperation
On the way here, Yuan Lu felt that there was a bit of a problem, it was a sparse and ordinary thing to invite her to dinner, but the location was not like the style of Banzai. Even if he receives two large guests a day, there is no need to come to this kind of place to eat.
Therefore, when she saw Xiang Qi, she was not too surprised.
On the way here, she had also taken precautions, and she hired a team of bodyguards to secretly protect her safety.
I haven't seen him for six years, Yuan Lu is no stranger to Xiang Qi at all, even if he is now in a suit and leather shoes, looking like a dog, but this face, she will not forget until she dies.
After glancing at Banzai, she walked to Banzai's side, took off her coat and hung it on the back of her chair, and sat down calmly.
When she sat down, Xiang Qi beckoned the waiter to serve the food and let go of the wine.
Yuan Lu didn't show it on his face, but he didn't give a good face. Xiang Qi got up and poured tea for her personally, he picked up the kettle, Yuan Lu covered his cup with his hand, glanced at him coldly, and said, "Don't bother you, I will pour it myself." ”
Xiang Qi smiled and said, "This cup of tea must be poured by me for you, let Banzai call you over today, I want to make peace with you." ”
Yuan Lu raised his eyebrows slightly, and after glancing at him, he turned his head to look at Banzai, his expression was calm, he took a sip of tea, and said, "Listen to what he says." ”
Obviously, Xiang Qi persuaded Long Live to have today's meal. Otherwise, according to Banzai's temper, he should not use himself to lure Yuan Lu over in death.
She thought for a moment and slowly let go of her hand.
Xiang Qi filled the tea for her, and then sat down next to her, with a seat between him and her.
"Actually, I just wanted to scare you at the beginning, and Siwen didn't let me do it so much, and then Jing Fei asked me to do things, I admit that I was a scoundrel who coveted beauty, and I saw that you were really good-looking and had a good figure, so I naturally became lustful. I don't think any man can break free from your gentleness. ”
Yuan Lu's face turned a little pale, and there was anger in her eyes, if it weren't for the fact that this kind of scum was difficult and aggressive, she didn't want to sit down and reconcile with him at all.
She sneered, "You are telling me this to tell me that the culprit is Jing Fei, right?"
"Isn't it?"
"And then?"
Xiang Qi squinted, took a sip of tea, and said with a smile: "Don't you want to retaliate?"
"What? You seem to be saying this to help me?" she looked over, and she didn't believe that this person could have this kind of awareness, and he didn't know what his intentions were when he came over this time, and it wouldn't be a good thing after all.
Xiang Qi continued: "Actually, Jing Fei has made a lot of small moves behind your back, she regards you as a thorn in her side, whether you are entangled with Jiang Ren or not, she is hostile to you. I'm not afraid to tell you that Jing Fei's mother came here to have dinner with Jiang Ren today, and now she is in the private room next door. If she knew you were here, what would you think she'd think?
Obviously, this was deliberately arranged by him in order to stimulate Jing Fei?
But this kind of petty approach doesn't seem like Xiang Qi's handwriting, if a person like him really wants to retaliate, he should start directly, instead of using her to stimulate, which makes no sense at all.
Therefore, this must not be Xiang Qi's own intention.
Yuan Lu thought about it for a while, the last person who might do this here was probably Xiang Siwen.
At the beginning, Xiang Siwen also contacted Xiang Qi, and now Xiang Qi has come forward, and it is naturally Xiang Siwen behind this.
"Why didn't Xiang Siwen come and tell me by himself? Who are you, a hooligan, who would listen to a woman's mercy like this? Do you like her? Or do you owe her money?"
Xiang Qi: "Your brain is turning very fast, and I won't hide it from you, it is indeed Siwen who asked me to come to you, and it is inconvenient for her to do so." By the way, she also asked me to reconcile with you, saying that you are pitiful, and what I did at the beginning was a fatal blow to you, an innocent girl. It's said you've had a bad time over the years, and you've committed suicide several times, right?"
He said the word 'suicide' so lightly, Yuan Lu's hand holding the cup tightened, and he didn't say anything, listening to him continue.
Xiang Qi: "She said that she has been miserable in prison for the past few years, and she will not be much better than you." Jing Fei also kept brainwashing her, saying that you were behind the scenes, that you hooked up with the gold owner, let the gold master do things behind the back, and asked people to bully her in prison, in order to make yourself angry. ”
Yuan Lu: "Why doesn't she believe it? I still remember the way Jing Fei was upset." ”
"Siwen is the daughter of the maid in Jing Fei's family, do you think she has a choice? Of course, there is no need to say any more, in the end, Siwen means that she hopes that you can be on the same side as her. As long as you listen to her command, you are guaranteed to be able to let out a bad breath. ”
Yuan Lu didn't make a sound, and there was no change in expression on his face.
Xiang Qi was silent for a few seconds, and continued: "If you are willing to help her, then the grudge between me and Banzai will be written off, not only will I not trouble him in the future, but he will be my Xiang Qi's brother in the future, and I can cover him." Miao Ye will go and say, as long as I say a word, he can still let go of the project in Shen Yunting's hand. As long as you nod your head, everything is easy to say. ”
"What if I don't nod?"
That's the crux of the matter.
Xiang Qi smiled, there was a bit of anger in this smile, "What do you say?"
At this time, without waiting for Yuan Lu to say anything, Banzai spoke first and said: "I really want to reconcile, it turns out that I just want to use Yuan Lu, if you had said so earlier, you wouldn't have today's meal." ”
"Of course I really want to reconcile with you, if I don't want to reconcile with you, is it necessary for me to sit here and talk so much nonsense to you?" Xiang Qi's patience was obviously limited, he said, and slapped the table hard, "Don't be ignorant, you have a common goal, work together, mutual benefit, what's wrong? If you weren't still useful, do you think you would have such a chance to reconcile?"
Xiang Qi moved a position forward, approaching Yuan Lu, staring at her with dark eyes, and said word by word: "If you don't agree, you have to think about the consequences." I'm actually unreasonable, in my case, it was you and Banzai who caused me to go to prison, and the people I was looking for were also you and Banzai. I know you're using the Sheng family as your backing now, but so what? Do you think a Sheng family can hold us down?"
Yuan Lu looked sideways at him.
Xiang Qi pinched her chin, long live this will slap the table to get up, and Yuan Lu held it down.
Xiang Qi said with a smile: "Those who know the times are Junjie." Don't worry, it's not that you are asked to do anything difficult, it is to let you and Jiang Ren secretly Chen Cang, I will help you cover up, and I will also protect you from harm. Don't you like that kid? You also wanted to die and live for that kid, and now that we have fulfilled you, are you not happy?"
Yuan Lu didn't immediately refuse sternly, but used a delaying tactic, "You have to think about it first, right?"
"Okay, you think about it, you can always think about everything in the time of a meal. ”
......
Jing Fei and Jiang Ren waited in the private room for twenty minutes, but in the end, Jing's mother didn't come, saying that there was an emergency and that they would make an appointment next time.
Jing Fei said: "Since my mother can't come, let's eat for the two of us." ”
"Nothing, right?"
"Don't worry, my mom will take care of it. ”
"Good. Jiang Ren didn't ask much.
Jing Fei was afraid that he would misunderstand, so she explained more, "Don't think about it, it's not that I don't want to see you, it's really something." I've made an appointment with her the day after tomorrow, and I'll eat at home when the time comes, and I'll ask the chef to cook at home. ”
"I'll listen to your arrangement. ”
Jing Fei looked at him, cautious, and said: "The first impression of eating with the elders is very important, because of Yuan Lu's Weibo, it was so big that my parents knew about it." So they're a little bit prejudiced against you, and I don't want this meeting to have any surprises, any uncertainties. If it's going to be vandalized, it's better not to see it, right?"
Jiang Ren heard the meaning of these words, "Who wants to destroy?"
"Naturally, it's Yuan Lu, who else will there be besides her. Jing Fei sighed, "I saw her when I went out just now, and she was waiting for an opportunity next door." I really can't help it, I can only let my brother do something, so that my mother can't catch up. If this time, she comes out to make trouble, I'm afraid my parents will really not accept you. Not only that, but I'm afraid that it will hit you in business at that time. ”
"She not only wants to destroy our relationship, but also wants to destroy your career, right? Speaking of which, when so many things happened in your family, do you think it would be her? She hates us so much that she is afraid that she will do everything. Have you investigated why your dad failed in the first place, and who introduced him to those loan sharks?"
Jiang Ren smiled, "You reminded me, I really should investigate carefully." In the first place, it was my father who died by himself, or someone else guided it. In addition, I have been doing things so badly over the years, whether God is fixing me or someone is not making me feel good behind my back. It really should be carefully investigated. ”
Jing Fei: "yes, it should be figured out. Do you want me to check it for you? I have some ways to check this. ”
"Okay, then you can check it for me. ”
......
When the dinner was about to end, Xiang Qi listened to a conversation with Yuan Lu.
It's Jiang Ren and Jing Fei's.
The main content is how Jing Fei poured dirty water on her, and actually pushed Jiang Ren's father's death on her as well.
Listening to that tone, she was simply regarded as a flood beast, she felt that she was very much like the villain female partner in the joke, ruthless, and did everything to destroy the relationship between the male and female protagonists.
She laughed, and she looked at Banzai and said, "Do I look so good? She took the initiative to turn off the recording played by Xiang Qi and smiled, "I can promise to cooperate with you, but not in your way, and I will not become your pawn." ”
As she spoke, she stood up and took her clothes and bag, "Alright, this meal is almost over, let's go, long live." ”
Xiang Qi was about to make a move, but Banzai was one step ahead of him, kicked the chair behind Yuan Lu, stepped in front of him, and quickly grabbed his wrist and pressed his head on the table.
With a bang, his strength was extremely great, the whole table trembled, Xiang Qi was stunned for a moment, and then he was angry, but he was fiercely suppressed and couldn't move.
A whole set of movements was fast and accurate, and Banzai leaned into his ear and whispered: "I'm not afraid of you, it doesn't matter what you do to me, as long as you take this breath." But if you get an inch and get Yuan Lu's head, I will definitely not let you go. ”
Xiang Qi struggled for a moment, but did not break free.
Obviously, today's Banzai is much more powerful than he imagined, and the last time they met, he just didn't show his bottom.
"Did you hear that?" said Banzai, with a fierce tone.
Xiang Qi pursed his lips, "You have a kind." ”
Banzai snorted, "You made me a fool for six years?"
Yuan Lu didn't squeak, just looked at Banzai quietly, and felt that he seemed to be hiding something from her.
But she didn't immediately ask.
Banzai said, "You go outside and wait for me first." ”
He said this without a beak, and his tone was very tough, it was the first time he had spoken to her like this.
Yuan Lu thought for a while, then walked out of the private room and stood guard at the door.
It didn't take long for Banzai to come out, and Jiang Ren came out of the private room next door.
Seeing her, he was not surprised, but when he saw that her expression was slightly condensed, he asked casually, "Something?"
Yuan Lu glanced at him and ignored him.
When he wanted to say something, Jing Fei also followed, and as soon as the door opened, he saw the two of them looking at each other, and her heart sank, she immediately inserted between the two, smiled at Yuan Lu, and said, "What a coincidence, you also came here to eat?"
Yuan Lu only showed a plausible smile and ignored them.
Jing Fei waited for a few seconds, and seeing that she didn't mean to respond, she turned her head to look at Jiang Ren, "Li Wanwan has something over there to call me over, you can send me." ”
"Good. ”
Jing Fei went into the private room and took the bag and clothes, then took Jiang Ren's hand and walked past Yuan Lu.
As they walked away, Yuan Lu turned his head sideways and glanced at them.
Just then, the door of the private room behind him opened, and Banzai came out of it, put on his coat, and said, "Let's go." ”
Yuan Lu came back to his senses, turned his head to look at Banzai, looked up and down carefully, and said, "Wait a while." ”
Banzai glanced at her, and was about to ask why, when he caught a glimpse of the two people not far away, and he also understood. When the couple got into the elevator, the two passed.
After leaving the hotel, Yuan Lucai asked, "Did you do something behind my back?"
"No, what can I do. He grinned.
"Don't hide it from me. When he got to the car, Yuan Lu grabbed his clothes and pressed him to the car.
"Not really. ”
Yuan Lu didn't make a sound, only stared at him with his eyes.
Long live still has that hippie smile, "Really, don't worry, what Xiang Qi said just now, you should be a fart, you don't need to think about it." Don't compromise for me, you don't need it, you know?"
"You ......"
Without waiting for Yuan Lu to ask more, he grabbed her arm, pushed her away, and then took the car key in her hand, unlocked it, and stuffed her into the co-pilot, "Okay, anyway, you just need to know that Xiang Qi can't move me in the future, and you don't need to compromise with them for me." ”
On the way, Banzai took her to have a barbecue before sending him back to Ninglan's apartment.
helped her park the car and was ready to leave, Yuan Lu asked him to go upstairs and sit back, but he also declined.
He watched Yuan Lu get on the elevator, only then turned around and walked out of the underground garage, he didn't leave immediately, but went to the convenience store across the street to buy a bottle of Coke, and then stood at the door of the convenience store, raised his head, and looked in the direction of the top floor.
After drinking a bottle of Coke, he turned and left.
......
When Yuan Lu returned home, he saw the bag on the side of the coffee table, which Sheng Xiao had left here and hadn't taken it back. She looked at the time, then took the bag and went up to the 32nd floor.
She rang the doorbell, waited for a while and no one came to open it, and then entered the code to enter.
This is the first time she has come in, she turned on the light in the hallway, and a pair of slippers were placed at the door. Are you thinking that there will be no guests at home?
It's really the flower of kaolin.
She took off her shoes and went barefoot, she went to the kitchen first, looked at the refrigerator, it was empty, there was nothing.
Why didn't you bring a maid with you?
There were a few books on the coffee table, a cup, and soot floating on the table, and a few cigarette butts in the ashtray that hadn't been cleaned up, but not too messy. Yuan Lu thought about it, so he cleaned it up for him, and cleaned the ashtray by the way.
After finishing the living room, she went upstairs to the laundry room to take a look, but it was quite clean and there were no dirty clothes.
Most of his clothes don't just throw them in the washing machine, they need to be taken care of.
She turned around briefly, the room was simpler than her home, there was only one bed in the room, light gray sheets and quilt covers, all in cool colors, which was quite in line with his taste.
Thinking about it like this, she realized that the overall style of Xinxiangju was simply contrary to his.
After she put all the daily necessities in the bag, she was about to leave, and when she walked to the door, she heard the sound of entering the code outside, and then the door opened, and Yuan Lu stood obediently in the door, showing a bright smile to him.
If she ties a bow on her head, then she will be naked as a gift, a surprise.
Sheng Xiao's eyes were low, and he stepped in and closed the door with his hand.
Yuan Lu took two steps back in time, smelling the smell of wine on him, probably going to socialize. When people get here, the most important thing to get through is the government department, or to get some connections.
However, he has a thick foundation, and he is excellent in his own right, even if he comes out to work alone, he is still a person standing at the top of the pyramid.
Yuan Lu went out with him a few times, understood his status, and was able to stand by his side and attend those occasions as his female companion, she earned it.
Moreover, he was taking her seriously and taking her to meet a lot of big guys that she couldn't know in her life.
Sheng Xiao lowered his eyes and caught a glimpse of her stepping on the ground barefoot.
It's late autumn now, and the weather is getting cooler, "Why don't you wear slippers?" ”
Yuan Lu lowered his head, moved his toes, and said with a smile: "Then you have to blame, why is there only a pair of slippers at home, don't you know how many pairs to buy?
"So go buy it now?"
"Huh?"
Sheng Xiao: "Do you have something?"
Yuan Lu shook his head, "No, I just went home and brought you daily necessities, but you haven't come to get them." She pointed inside, "It's all for you." ”
"Let's go. ”
He took her hand without saying a word, and ordered, "Put on your shoes." After a few seconds, he added, "You should wear socks." ”
His palms were dry and hot, and he held her hand in its entirety.
This move made Yuan Lu stunned, his heart was suffocated, and he was a little uncomfortable. But his grip was a little tight, and she was too embarrassed to say it, so she could only poke his finger with her index finger.
However, Sheng Xiao didn't seem to be aware of it, only staring at her feet with his eyes down, waiting for her to put on her shoes.
The expression on his face was very calm.
