Chapter 494: Rainy Night Terror
What's going on today, one by one make an appointment to make yourself uneasy, right?
Thinking so in her heart, Lin Ran raised her head and found that the other party was a woman who she had no impression of at all: "Yes, may I ask who you are?" β
The woman had a perfect smile on her face: "I am Qin Hanhai's fiancΓ©e, Tao Jingyi." β
Hearing such a self-introduction, Lin Ran was a little in a trance, because in her impression, the last person to introduce herself under this name was her stepsister Qiao An'an.
However, this trance soon passed, and she also smiled politely: "It's the future young lady of the Qin family, this is really the first time I've seen it." β
"For Miss Lin, this is indeed the first time to see me," Tao Jingyi's smile remained unchanged, making it impossible to find a flaw, "but for me, it's not the first time I've seen you." β
Lin Ran raised her eyebrows in some surprise: "Huh? How come I am not impressed? β
"I saw you at the banquet between you and Second Master Mo, there were a lot of people at that time, and I was with my parents, so it's normal that you don't have an impression."
It seems that no matter what Lin Ran says, Tao Jingyi has a gentle and polite attitude, as if she is just greeting her new friends.
This woman is a difficult character to deal with.
Before Lin Ran could answer, she spoke again: "I know, Qin Hanhai and you have had an unpleasant relationship, today I came to apologize to you, I hope you don't care about the villain." β
"Why Qin Hanhai and I are unhappy is something that everyone knows." Lin Ran put down the dessert plate in her hand, and looked directly into Tao Jingyi's eyes with a smile, "I can ignore the things he has damaged my reputation, but my sister is still in high school far away from home, this is not a problem that I don't care, right?" β
Although Qiao An'an can be regarded as self-inflicted, if she has to say it, in the whole matter, her mistake with Qin Hanhai is fifty to fifty.
Lin Ran added a sentence in her heart.
Tao Jingyi seemed to have thought of such a situation a long time ago, and replied without any confusion: "I naturally know about this matter, but the Qin family and our family are now trying their best to find news that can help Miss Qiao, please see this sincerity, how about easing the situation?" β
"De-escalation?" Lin Ran laughed sarcastically, and then moved on to another topic, "Qin Hanhai's relationship with me is like this, and you want to reconcile now...... Let's say, what difficulties does the Qin family have right now? β
"Miss Lin is really a smart person," Tao Jingyi took two glasses of wine from the waiter's hand and handed one of them to Lin Ran, "Then I will have something to say." β
Lin Ran took the wine, just took it in his hand and played with it: "Let's talk about it." β
"Because of the previous incident, the Qin family is equivalent to a complete confrontation with the Lin family, although the Mo family did not express its position, but it has always been a lot colder to the Qin family. Many of the Qin family's business partners are reluctant to cooperate now," Tao Jingyi took a sip of her cocktail, and her voice was soft as if she was discussing the dress she was wearing, "Now the Qin family's business is not as good as day by day, and the old man has already entered the hospital in a hurry." β
"But what does that have to do with me?" Lin Ran still looked like he didn't care about himself, "I don't believe that the old man of the Qin family didn't know about the things that Qin Hanhai made out at that time, and let him jump up and down at that time, how can he come back now." β
Looking at Tao Jingyi, Lin Ran lowered her eyes and smiled faintly: "But also, at that time, I was just a person who didn't have a good relationship with my family, and it seemed that I would swallow my anger for the sake of face, and the old man Qin probably thought that something had happened, and it would be okay to give some money, after all, the Qin family has a big business, so there is no need to take the Qiao family in his eyes at all." β
"At that time, I was not familiar with the Qin family, but during this time, I could see that he was not as doting on Qin Hanhai as rumored by the outside world." Tao Jingyi shook the goblet in her hand, and the wine in the cup shone with a magnificent shattered light under the refraction of the light, "In other words, Old Man Qin has no expectations for him, and the successor he focuses on cultivating now is not Qin Hanhai." β
"Oh?" Lin Ran showed a look of surprise, "Then why did Miss Tao agree to marry Qin Hanhai, judging from your family, it is obviously not difficult to find a better marriage partner than Qin Hanhai, right?" β
Tao Jingyi's smile was even stronger: "Miss Lin should understand what the concept of investment is, right?" I'm just making an investment, isn't this first step to come to Miss Lin for help? β
"I can't afford to help," Lin Ran raised her head and looked into her eyes, "And this matter is not just my nod and count, Miss Tao should also understand that this matter is directly related to the face of the Lin family." β
At this time, Lin Ran saw Duan Heqia waving to him behind Tao Jingyi, so he put down the unmoved cocktail in his hand and nodded politely: "I'm missing, someone is looking for me over there." β
He didn't look at Tao Jingyi anymore, and walked straight towards Duan Heqia.
"Ranran, in trouble?" Seeing that Lin Ran's face was not good, Duan Heqia glanced at Tao Jingyi, "She's still looking at you." β
Lin Ran nodded: "It's nothing, I just want to ask me for a favor that I can't do anything about." Can I help you? β
Duan Heqia took out a bunch of car keys and handed them to her: "The second master gave it, he has something to do over there, let me go over to help." Said that it was the car key for you, let you give it to Qin Yi, if you want to go back, go back first, both of us have drunk, and we will call the driver to pick it up later. β
"Then I won't stay here, and someone will come to me later, and it's too tiring to talk to them." Lin Ran took the key and pressed his temple, "Please keep an eye on the second uncle, don't let him drink too much, I don't want to take care of a drunk at night." β
Duan Heqia laughed: "Don't worry, Ranran, I will block the second master, I can't get drunk." β
After a few more pleasantries, Lin Ran left directly, took his windbreaker and jacket from the waiter, and after the doorman drove the car over, he respectfully opened the door for her.
Because he was wearing leather shoes on his feet, Qin Yi was very careful when driving, and it was getting late, it was raining, and the road condition was very bad, so his speed was much slower than usual.
At this time, his mobile phone rang, Qin Yi glanced at the caller, reached out and pressed the Bluetooth headset: "Second master? β
It was Mo Zhi who called, he called Lin Ran several times just now but she didn't answer, so she had to call Qin Yi's phone, he glanced at the sky outside, and asked a little uneasily, "Where are you?" β
"I'll drive away first, the key given by Miss Lin," Qin Yi was a little strange, thinking that Mo Zhi had something to do and was going to leave now, "Second Master, do you need me to go back to pick you up?" β
"It's still early on my side," Mo Zhi stretched out his hand to take the materials handed by others, "The road conditions are so bad, or you pull over, you are not suitable for driving today, I will let a driver take over from the old house." β
Qin Yi thought about the way back, although the opportunity to drive this car was rare, but for the safety of his life, he still nodded in agreement: "Okay second master, then I'll pull over, turn on the double flash, and wait in the car?" β
As soon as the words fell, Qin Yi turned the steering wheel, stepped on the brakes and wanted to pull over slowly, but as soon as he stepped on his foot, he immediately found that something was wrong: "Strange." β
Mo Zhi kept an eye on his side, and couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong?" β
Qin Yi's voice was very calm, but the words he said were no less than a thunderbolt ringing in Mo Zhi's ears: "Second master, the brakes of the car have been tampered with. β
"What?!" Mo Zhi got up suddenly, his face gloomy, "Is it serious?" β
"I don't know if it's serious," looking at the bend in front of him, Qin Yi frowned, "I just know, it's too late." β
The car gradually lost control, looking at this dangerous bend, Qin Yi's heart was horizontal, and he turned the head of the car and crashed straight into the guardrail on the side of the road!
Now one can only pray that the quality of the car is not cut corners.
At this critical juncture, Qin Yi thought so.
And on Mo Zhi's side, as soon as Qin Yi's voice fell, there was a loud bang on the other side of the phone!
"Qin Yi? Qin Yi?! Ranran, can you hear me, Ranran!! β
Although the phone did not hang up, there was no sound on the other end that he wanted to hear, only the sound of drizzling rain in response to his shouts.
Mo Zhi knew very well what the loud noise just now was caused by, and with Qin Yi's last sentence, all the clues indicated that something had happened.
Duan Heqia looked at his gloomy face, thought about what he had just said, and asked worriedly, "Second Master, who is Miss Lin...... What's wrong? β
"Give me the car," Mo Zhi rushed out with his mobile phone, "You are watching the field here, especially don't let people monitor it." β
"What's going on?"
Duan Heqia was stunned for a moment, and then realized that this matter was estimated to be not small.
Mo Zhi snatched the key from his subordinates, and the monstrous anger in his voice could not be concealed: "The car was tampered with. β
He nodded to the man sitting in the main seat of the room: "Brother Li, I'll go first." β
The man also stood up: "I'll watch the surveillance, don't drive like this, and negotiate with you to drive him." β
Duan Heqia nodded and took the key in his hand: "Second master, let's go." β
The banquet hall was still full of singing and dancing, as soon as they came down from upstairs, they were looked at by Qin Muyu who was standing in the center of the crowd, the woman with exquisite makeup seemed to have forgotten her lip makeup, pursed her lips, and still stepped forward to greet her: "Second master, Brother Duan, fortunately you are here, I couldn't find you just now, but I am going to die!" You don't know, it seems that something happened in the parking lot, and my parents have already taken care of it, and they have heard about it......"
Speaking of this, she glanced at Mo Zhi's face, bit her lower lip, as if she was afraid of something, and suddenly began to vomit.
