When Han Jingting and Luo Xi came out of the hotel, although they were sitting in the car, the long guns and short cannons outside did not let them go at all.
There were even paparazzi cars chasing them, filming all the way.
Luo Xi sat in the back row upright, and said in a flat tone: "It's just a matter of getting married, it's really hard for you to spend so much money." ”
Han Jingting's face was cold, his eyes glanced out the window, and he recalled the phone call he had just answered.
It was a call from home, and the content speaks for itself.
In fact, the Han family is not as beautiful as it seems on the surface.
Diyun Group, which made its fortune in the traditional manufacturing industry and thrived on the real estate industry, is now blooming in all directions, but its basic industries have also been severely impacted by the global economic downturn, especially the export industry, which is suffering a heavy blow. It's just that these news are all pressed, and the outside world hasn't realized it yet.
On the other hand, the Lu family, as a big man in the communications industry, is preparing to monopolize the international market because of the successful research and development of 5G technology, and is at a critical moment for the high-level forum to make a vote.
Once the number of votes passed exceeds the number of votes against, then the Lu's Group's leading position in the international community will be established.
The business world is changing, and in the past, the marriage between Han and Lu was that the Lu family wanted to rely on the Han family, but now, it is the Han family who wants to take this opportunity to fight.
Han Jingting and Lu Xingyun have been engaged for so long and haven't had a wedding, in fact, Han Jingting has been dragging it, but now, he can't drag it anymore.
In desperation, I had to make this decision.
So Luo Xi's words can be regarded as poking at the crux of the matter.
Luo Xi laughed silently and continued: "I really didn't expect that you would also be a long-term person. can give up shortcuts for a woman. ”
Han Jingting gritted his teeth and still didn't speak.
But he was surprised in his heart, Luo Xi could actually see that Di Yun was in trouble now?
In fact, Luo Xi is just speculation, and another point is that she accidentally saw the information that Si Junxian spread out on the table in the study.
It's unintentional.
But if it was confidential, she thought Si Junxian wouldn't put it there so casually.
"What kind of person should I be?" Han Jingting suddenly asked when he got out of the car.
Luo Xi said without hesitation: "Selfish, ruthless." ”
Han Jingting sat in his original position for a while, and waited for the driver to open the car door before raising his legs to go out.
Luo Xi looked around, thinking that this was probably Han Jingting's private residence.
Detached villa with high security.
Luo Xi followed Han Jingting in, the three-story house, empty, clean and tidy, as if it had just been cleaned up.
Han Jingting walked to the wine cabinet, took out a bottle of wine, and poured it into a square cup.
Luo Xi glanced at him, walked to the sofa and sat down.
After Han Jingting drank three glasses in a row, he looked in the direction of Luo Xi: "Do you remember the first time we met?"
Luo Xi was stunned, he didn't expect him to talk about this topic.
"Of course. She nodded, "You saved me and gave me a new lease of life." ”
When Han Jingting heard this, he lowered his head to hide a wry smile: "So until now, you think I saved you?"
"Isn't it?" Luo Xi couldn't hide his shocked expression.
Han Jingting fiddled with the wine glass in his hand, "Actually, it was just that we lost the bet." ”
"What?" Luo Xi tensed his nerves.
"There was a boy in rags looking at the phone we were using to play games. We thought it was amusing and asked him if he wanted to? We thought it was funny, the phone was nothing to us, but he was so serious. So we tried to play tricks on him. Han Jingting spoke unhurriedly, and Luo Xi's heart gradually rose.
"We asked him to steal the bodyguard's wallet. Of course, he didn't know. The guy actually agreed. Han Jingting shook his head, as if immersed in the past, "However, I figured it out later, he probably saw something and changed the gambling contract." ”
Luo Xi's heartbeat was already a little unbearable.
Han Jingting said eloquently: "He pointed to another bodyguard who pretended to be a passerby and said, if both of them can get their wallets, then let's take his sister away." After speaking, he pointed to the little girl who was begging not far away. Dirty and thin, but those big eyes are still very smart. He said, if it happens, I hope we can send you to your mother, if it is exposed, it has nothing to do with us. ”
"What happened later?" Luo Xi asked breathlessly.
Han Jingting had already drunk most of the bottle of XO at this time, and looked at Luo Xi half-drunk and half-conscious, and the coldness in his eyes dissipated a lot because of the alcohol.
"Of course, I knew what my bodyguard was capable of, so I agreed without even thinking about it. Your eldest brother tried to stop me, but he didn't. That guy also has some skills, he is not very old, his hands and feet are neat, and he really did it. However, the bodyguard soon noticed that something was wrong and started looking for someone, but he was already hiding. To be honest, I didn't want to keep the agreement, but at this time, Shaoli was moved by compassion. He knew that his family would not listen to him, so he asked me to say something. Han Jingting said meaningfully to Luo Xi.
The rest of the matter is what Luo Xi has experienced.
Han Jingting pointed to the young Luo Xi in front of the elders and said, "She is so pitiful, I just need a younger sister." ”
Of course, the Han family was unwilling, but they knew their young master's temper well.
What he wants, he has to get, and he often doesn't follow the cards.
Gu Shaoli saw that Uncle Han was about to have a seizure, so he tugged on his father's arm and whispered a few words to let his father think about it.
Gu Zhanxiang, who was befriending the Han family at the time, that is, Luo Xi's adoptive father, took the initiative to adopt Luo Xi when he heard the words, which was later known as "Gu Xi", which was regarded as helping Tingshao do a good deed, and his merits were immeasurable.
For this reason, Gu Zhanxiang also spent a sum of money to redeem Luo Xi, and he made some connections from it.
Later, the young Luo Xi followed them out of the city and never set foot again.
She left in a hurry, and she didn't even have time to say goodbye to the "difficult brothers".
There was a long silence in the room.
Luo Xi suddenly asked, "Is there still any wine?"
At this moment, the wine bottle in front of Han Jingting was empty.
He narrowed his eyes, a rare smile rose on the corner of his lips, and tilted his head to look at the wine cabinet, "What do you want to drink?"
Luo Xi walked over directly, took a bottle of red wine out, and found the cup himself.
She couldn't express how she was feeling right now.
She also knew who the boy who bet with Han Jingting and Gu Shaoli was.
However, she would never have imagined that her salvation was not an accident, but the courage of a young man.
Han Jingting silently watched Luo Xi pour wine, drank it, and asked casually, "I don't know what happened to that boy." ”
Luo Xi's heart tightened, and there was Si Junxian's appearance in front of him.
Childhood and adulthood overlap.
"When I grew up, your eldest brother went to look for it, but after so long, naturally there were no clues. Han Jingting rubbed his eyebrows.
"What time can I leave at the earliest?" Luo Xi couldn't wait to find Si Junxian now.
Han Jingting glanced at the wall clock on the wall, "Four o'clock." ”
"Good. Luo Xi took a deep breath, "Tell me this, is it a conscience discovery?"
Han Jingting shook his head: "I always feel that there are some things recently, and I don't vomit or be unhappy." Oh, isn't your big brother coming out soon? You can thank him. ”
Luo Xi smiled, "Maybe he will 'thank' you well." ”
Of course, Han Jingting could understand Luo Xi's words.
"What is your relationship with Qian Hao?" he asked suddenly.
Luo Xi's eyes flickered, although he didn't know the name, but when he heard the surname Qian, it was not difficult to guess.
"No comment. "One thing, though, can be said to be that he's my brother." ”
"I can't see that you have accumulated a lot of contacts overseas over the years. Han Jingting was a little impressed by Luo Xi.
Luo Xi didn't plan to explain, and there was no need for Han Jingting to know about the background of Si Junxian and others.
"It's not early, I'll wait here until four o'clock. Ting Shao doesn't have to send me away, right?" Luo Xi asked.
"Well, the driver will take you back. Han Jingting replied.
However, it turned out that Luo Xi thought more simply.
Half an hour later, the sound of a car engine could be heard outside the hospital.
Then the landline in the house rang, and the bodyguard outside the door announced, saying, "Ting Shao, someone from the family wants to pick you up." It's the big housekeeper. ”
When Luo Xi heard this, he glanced at Han Jingting and saw that his face was grim.
The chief butler of the Han family came to him, but he represented the majesty of the family elders.
It seems that the Lu family put pressure on the Han family.
Soon, the doorbell rang.
Han Jingting said lightly to Luo Xi: "I'll go back by myself in a while." ”
Luo Xi knew that he had already made preparations, and the previous talk about spending one night together was just a guaranteed plan.
"If you do this, what will Jiang Mengxi think of you?" Luo Xi finally said the question in his heart.
Even if Han Jingting resisted marriage for his first love, this episode didn't seem to be beneficial to him in repairing his relationship with Jiang Mengxi.
Han Jingting played with a small handicraft and said lightly: "You don't need to worry about this." ”
At this time, the door opened, and the Han family's chief butler looked majestic.
"Young Master, please come home with me. He glanced at Luo Xi, "Madame said, hoping that Miss Luo would go with her." ”
"No, it has nothing to do with her. Han Jingting said without refusal.
The chief butler hesitated for a moment and whispered, "Okay." ”
"When the morning dawns, I will send Miss Luo home. Han Jingting instructed his subordinates.
"Yes!"
Luo Xi watched them leave, but found that the big butler glanced at the person next to him while turning around.
She didn't expect that the danger tonight did not come from Han Jingting, but someone else.
