Chapter 3: The Flickering Night (15)

The man was amused by her expression. He raised the umbrella in his hand, asked what was going on, said hello to his companions, and walked with her to the place where the car had fallen.

He consulted with Baozhu for a while before leaving. Soon three cars drove up, one of them drove up on its own, and the other two were parked across the street. The previous man got out of the car, buckled the rope in front of the Zhao family's car, and after tying it firmly, he commanded the car in front of him to start.

Baozhu thanked him repeatedly.

The man smiled and shook his hand, bowed slightly to Jingyi, who came over to thank him, and said, "Miss Ten doesn't thank you, it should be." ”

"Excuse me, sir, your surname, where is the house?" Jingyi asked. She had been watching the man act for a while. He repeatedly called her Miss Ten, which must be something of origin.

"Miss Ten really doesn't have to take it to heart." The man smiled, saw that Jingyi's umbrella had been soaked by the rain, and hurriedly opened the car door and invited her to get into the car. As he spoke, he took two more umbrellas from his car and put them under the back seat of Jingyi's car.

The car across the street tickled and urged them.

Jingyi stopped his way, glanced at the car, and said, "If you don't want me to run over and ask them, just tell me." Cable"

The man looked at Jing Yi with a serious and stubborn face, and said, "Miss Ten, the surname is Ma, and her name is Xingjian." Ma Xingjian. He said with a slight smile.

This smile made Jingyi feel more familiar to him, and she blurted out, "Have we met somewhere?" ”

Ma Xingjian shook his head with a smile, he let Jingyi get into the car, put the umbrella in his hand on the side of the car door, and left in the heavy rain.

"Let's go, Miss Ten." Bao Zhu said with a smile.

Jing Yi saw the cars leaving one after another, so she nodded. Her skirt was wet, and her shoes were completely wet, shivering with cold.

She sat in the back seat, wiping the water on her body, looking at the oil-paper umbrella at her feet. On a golden background, there is a simple chrysanthemum pattern, which is a popular Oriental umbrella at the moment...... Oriental umbrella ...... A thought flashed through her mind, and she slammed open the curtains, and there were still the shadows of those cars!

She couldn't help but regret stumbling and said, "How confused I must be! ”

Bao Zhu hurriedly asked her what was wrong, and after hearing this, he said, "I also kept an eye on it and wrote down their license plate numbers." Miss Ten, didn't you ask his name? If you have a license plate number and a name, are you afraid that you can't find someone? Besides, even if it's a car-by-car check, it's easy to check. How many Mercedes cars can there be in Jeonbuk Pyongseong? As soon as they drove it, there were three, and they were all new. ”

Jingyi listened, and then she felt more at ease.

You can't miss your lifesaver twice in a row...... She thought about it, this is it, she will not feel familiar with anyone for no reason. The tall man in the suit should be the man who saved her that day. It may be destined to meet him again, and she should have the opportunity to thank others. It's just the man......

"Sneeze" ...... Jingyi sneezed three or four times in a row, and rummaged through her handbag in embarrassment to find a handkerchief, but couldn't find it. I remembered that when I visited Dai Mengyuan, I saw that the wound on his wrist was oozing blood, so I bandaged him. She felt a throbbing pain in her heart......

"Seven Shao, Miss Ten didn't recognize us at all, right? It's really enough, we big people have walked in front of her several times in turn...... It is said that I can't wow, I can't recognize that we are possible, and Brother Ma is still running before and after. Tu Huyi looked back at the car that was getting farther and farther away, so far that he could no longer see it, scratched the top of his head, and said: "Hey, there are seven young people you can't recognize." I guess I was scared that day, right? ”

Tao Xiao didn't raise his head and said, "Shut up." ”

Tao Si, who was sitting next to Tao Xiang, listened to the seventh brother spit out these two words sullenly, and said with a smile: "Don't say it, this tenth lady of the Cheng family is a little interesting." ”

Tao Xiang glanced at the second brother.

"Ordinary women, it's good not to faint today. She also dared to rush forward to save people. Tao Si couldn't help but laugh.

"That's it, that's it. Second master, don't you know, the street was so chaotic that day, there were thieves and soldiers, Miss Ten ......" Tu Huyi turned around and patted the saddle, and his face lit up when he said it.

Tao Xiang raised his foot and kicked the front seat of the car.

Tu Huyi immediately shrank back and sat there silent.

Tao Si continued: "People like you always ask for a new woman. You've seen people, too. Miss Cheng Shi is really a model of the new woman. And in my opinion, among the famous ladies in Beiping, there are very few who can compare with her in appearance. In terms of family background, the Cheng family is on par with our family, and they are neither new nor old. If you are dissatisfied with such a person, I don't know what you are not satisfied with. ”

Tao Xiang sat in a different position.

Tao Si patted him on the knee and said, "If you are because of those rumors, then you don't have to. ”

"Is that really a rumor?" Tao Xiang asked.

Tao Si smiled and patted his knee again. This time, he was heavier and said, "If not, then don't worry." As he spoke, he handed Tao Xiang an object wrapped in a handkerchief.

Tao Xiang didn't answer, so Tao Si stuffed it into his hand.

Through the handkerchief, I can also see that this is the bracelet that Cheng Jingyi gave to the groom. Tao Xiang also knew that the other one was shattered on the streets on the day of the riot.

"I'll get it back for five hundred. That's all there is to you, but fortunately, you give a lot. Although the groom is illiterate, he can't be deceived too much. I can't let the things of our Tao family fall into the hands of miscellaneous people. Tao Si smiled. Tao Xiang glanced at him and returned the bracelet to him. Tao Si also followed his example, didn't answer, and said: "I'll tell you the origin of this thing, and then you can figure out whether to keep it or not." The bracelet was originally a pair. Now there is only this one, which is this one-of-a-kind, and I am not afraid that I will not be able to exchange it for half of the garden of his Qingwang Mansion. Is it worth it, don't mention it. is just an eldest son who is not worth it, and it is also a token of his mother's relatives to the Cheng family. ”

Tao Xiang's face was a little gloomy.

Tao Si looked at his expression, which was quite playful.

He was fifteen or sixteen years old at the time, and he was very impressed. It should be the year before he left home, Tao Xiang was only seven or eight years old. He also joked with his eldest brother, saying that he was the youngest of the seventh brother, but he didn't want to marry first. When they asked their mother to go, they met her mother picking something, and it was not to her liking, and finally her grandmother sent someone to send this pair of bracelets. The mother looked at it and was stunned for a while, and said that your eldest aunt was still thinking about this thing when she got married, and grandma was really willing, so it can be seen that she is very satisfied with this family business. The age of the bracelet is no longer examinable, but the style is not a new imitation, and it is very simple......

"It must be ugly." Tao Si smiled.

Tao Xiang snorted.

……

Jingyi asked Baozhu to drive to Jin'anli quickly.

The asphalt road of Jin'anli was very different from the muddy street just now. There are few asphalt roads in the city of Beiping, and Jin'anli is one of them.

Kong Yuanxuan had already accompanied Wujian to wait for Jingyi in front of a café next to the Jin'an Club. Seeing the car coming, Wujian knocked on the window anxiously, and Kong Yuan just smiled gently. Jingyi glanced at the gate of the Jin'an Club in the car - it was a club, but it didn't look like a club, it was an ordinary gray brick door, and it was even a little inconspicuous. But that door, whether it's the people who enter or leave it, or what happens inside, will affect the world outside the door.

Jing Yi didn't know if it was because of the meeting here, Kong Yuanxuan looked a little different from usual, and he didn't have that hippie smile.

She had a different view of such a Kong Yuanxuan.

Kong Yuanxuan asked people to put a few bundles of books in the car, knowing that they were in a hurry to go home, he instructed Baozhu a few words, and urged them to leave.

"Why did you choose to date here?" After getting in the car, Jingyi asked Wuji.

The Jin'an Club is a meeting place for politicians. The politicians who meet here, known as the Jin'an faction, are the most powerful faction in the current government. Jingyi knew that in addition to the prime minister, the important members of the Jin'an department were Foreign Minister Kim Chang-gil and Kim Hye-quan's father; Chief Financial Officer Kong Zhixiao, Kong Yuanxuan's father...... In addition to some high-ranking figures in the cabinet and parliament, there were also intellectuals, represented by Zhao Guangnai, the uncle of the vice minister of education and president of the National Peking University. There are also some leading figures in the business world, including her father.

"I accidentally ran into my uncle here." Jingyi said.

Innocent blinked and said, "Haven't you heard of darkness under the lamp?" ”

Jingyi nodded.

Wujian said with a smile: "Lao Kong was placed here by his father, firstly, to save him from not doing serious things after returning to China; the second is to let him learn something; And then let him accumulate a little bit of contacts here. As for him, he didn't learn anything else, he was able to observe words and looks, collect and analyze intelligence, and he became a master. From top to bottom, there is simply no one he doesn't know, nothing he doesn't know. ”

Jing Yi saw Wujian looking at her, as if she had something to say, and asked, "Is there any big news?" ”
