Chapter 263: Young and promising
Everyone looked at it together, and it was not Ji Chengyan who was standing at the door, but Lu Zhiyan.
Although it is not Ji Chengyan, this Lu Zhiyan is not inferior to him! The same young, the same young and promising, the same deep family background! Everyone laughed enthusiastically: "Mr. Lu is here, Mr. Lu is coming." β
Lu Zhiyan bowed slightly, and said with a warm smile: "I'm not late, am I?" β
"No, no, it's early for us."
How dare anyone say that he is late, not to mention that he is indeed not late, Lu Zhiyan's good cultivation is famous.
"That's good."
Lu Zhiyan walked in and found a place to sit down, and chatted with the people next to him.
Although the atmosphere of everyone was good, everyone's mind was not on the table, and they all glanced at the door from time to time, as if they were waiting for the same person.
Lu Zhiyan raised his eyebrows: "Is there anyone else who hasn't arrived?" Mr. Wang hurriedly said: "It's Mr. Ji, and it's not here yet." β
Mr. Ji? Lu Zhiyan asked: "Ji Chengyan?" Mr. Wang nodded: "Yes, yes, yes." β
"Doesn't he really like this kind of socializing?" Lu Zhiyan smiled playfully.
"Haha......" Mr. Wang smiled, "I've been dating for a long time." β
Lu Zhiyan didn't speak anymore and continued to chat and drink.
About another ten minutes passed, and everyone began to suspect that Ji Chengyan would not come at all.
The box door was pushed open again.
Ji Chengyan, who was dressed in a well-tailored suit, stood at the door.
Mr. Wang hurriedly stood up: "Yo! Mr. Ji came...... "Ji Chengyan didn't expect to meet Lu Zhiyan here, but he thought about it, and it was okay to meet him, so he just asked him if he knew about Ruan Xiaoxi."
He sat next to Lu Zhiyan.
The light and chips were staggered during the banquet, and they were happy.
After drinking two glasses of wine, Lu Zhiyan stood up from his position and said with a smile: "I'll go to the bathroom." β
Not long after he left, Ji Chengyan also stood up and walked out.
The people at the table looked at each other.
The two main big names of today's party went to the bathroom all at once, how? Ji Chengyan didn't go to the bathroom, he stood alone in the corridor outside the bathroom, gently leaned against the wall, and took out a cigarette to smoke.
In the smoke, his face was blurred.
When Lu Zhiyan came out of the bathroom, he saw such Ji Chengyan.
He was holding a cigarette in one hand as he swallowed the clouds.
Lu Zhiyan raised his eyebrows: "Mr. Ji? Addicted to smoking? Ji Chengyan took a cigarette in his mouth, took out his cigarette case and handed it to him.
Lu Zhiyan waved his hand: "No smoking." β
Ji Chengyan took back the cigarette and put it in his pocket, with some sarcasm at the end of his eyes.
As if mocking him for pretending.
Lu Zhiyan disagreed, and swept past him to go back to the box.
He shouted: "Lu Zhiyan." β
He paused, looking back at him.
Ji Chengyan flicked the cigarette ash and raised his eyes to look at him: "Do you know that Ruan Xiaoxi has an accident?" Lu Zhiyan actually vaguely guessed that he would ask like this, and smiled: "I don't know." β
"Don't pretend to me."
"If you don't believe it, forget it."
He ignored him and turned to leave.
"Where is she?"
"Can you please stop asking me every time you can't find her?"
"Say."
"I don't know."
He didn't even look back.
How could Ji Chengyan believe him, and asked, "Since you don't know, I told you that something happened to her, why aren't you worried at all?" Lu Zhiyan looked back at him: "Why should I worry, didn't you keep saying that she was your fiancΓ©e?" β
"I don't know when Mr. Lu was so polite and honest."
Timbre is on the low side.
He is a smart person, and now as soon as he looks at Lu Zhiyan's attitude, he immediately knows that he must have news of Ruan Xiaoxi, otherwise it would be impossible for him to be so calm and even come to socialize.
Just like him, if he hadn't found the food thrown away in the hotel and Ruan Xiaoxi's little expression in the video, he would never have been in the mood to come to the party.
What's more, during this time, he didn't know about Ruan Jingya's kidney replacement when he was abroad, but Lu Zhiyan was in China, and it was impossible for Ruan Xiaoxi to have such a big thing that he didn't know yet.
And the reason why he is deaf now must be because he knows that Ruan Xiaoxi is safe.
This realization made Ji Chengyan breathe a sigh of relief, and it seemed that his judgment was not wrong.
As long as Ruan Xiaoxi is safe, then everything else is easy to say.
It's just that what the hell is going on here, Ji Chengyan is anxious to figure it out at the moment.
He always felt that he was now in the middle of a great mystery, and that he was the only one in this mystery.
Whether it is Ruan Xiaoxi or Lu Zhiyan, or Ruan Jingya, Ruan's father and mother, it seems that they are all outside the mystery, and only he is in the mystery.
Although the lies were well woven, he was already suspicious.
He knows deep down that none of this is so simple.
Whether it is Ruan Jingya's illness or Ruan Xiaoxi's disappearance this time, it is not so simple.
Although he had been suspicious for a long time, he was only suspicious.
It wasn't until he came back this time and saw that things were developing like this, how could he still sit still.
When Lu Zhiyan heard him ask, he knew that no matter what he said, he would never hide it from him again.
He has a tyrannical nature, and if he doesn't appease him, I'm afraid he doesn't know what he will do.
I am also afraid that he will ruin Ruan Xiaoxi's plan.
Thinking of this, Lu Zhiyan sighed.
"I know some."
"But not much," he admitted. β
Ji Chengyan narrowed his eyes: "For example?" β
"It's a long story."
Lu Zhiyan frowned and said, "I ......"
"Mr. Ji, Mr. Lu......" The voice of a certain boss with a big belly came from the door of the box, "You see how you are chatting here, the people inside are waiting for you to drink......" Ji Chengyan's face was not very good-looking, Lu Zhiyan looked back, and said with a smile: "Mr. Ji is addicted to smoking, I will chat with him for a while."
Drink first. β
"Don't, come back to smoke a cigarette, how can any of us people not smoke, we don't need to come out to smoke......" The man was silent when he touched Ji Cheng's cold eyes.
Lu Zhiyan played a round: "Let's come now." β
The man laughed dryly and hurried back to the box.
Ji Chengyan smoked a cigarette: "Go on." β
Lu Zhiyan didn't care about his pride, and said: "There are many people, and you will go out for a drink after the entertainment?" Ji Cheng was silent for a moment, thinking that this was fine, after all, he also had questions, this matter seemed complicated, and he couldn't explain it clearly for a while.
So he extinguished the cigarette, ignored Lu Zhiyan, got up and walked back.
Lu Zhiyan looked at his back behind him, a little helpless.
He really didn't know where such a Ji Chengyan got the confidence to think that Ruan Xiaoxi would definitely forgive him, and he had to do it.
After the banquet was over, the two of them drove to a nearby tavern, and they didn't come to drink, so they ordered a bottle of wine casually, and the two of them poured a glass and drank it.
"Can you say it now?" Ji Chengyan didn't have much patience.
"Actually, it's very simple, it's about the same as you know."
Lu Zhiyan said, "She didn't tell me everything, and I only knew a small part. β
So Lu Zhiyan casually pulled out some reasons and said: "She is indeed planning to do something, and the other party is plotting against her, and she found out in advance."
In order to find evidence, she risked her life. β
"Who?" Ji Chengyan raised his eyebrows, "Who wants to plot against you?" β
"There's so many people involved, and it's not the time you should know.
When the time comes, she'll tell you all about it.
You don't have to worry, she's safe now. β
Although Lu Zhiyan gave him the answer he wanted, what was the difference between this answer and not saying it? Ji Chengyan frowned, obviously very dissatisfied with this answer: "Where is she now?" Lu Zhiyan shook his head.
"I'm not safe to see her with my own eyes, how do you want me to believe your words?"
"But do you have any other options now?"
"Do you think I'll not find her?" He is conceited.
But Lu Zhiyan had to admit that if he moved seriously, the truth of the matter would soon be pierced by him, but in this way, Ruan Xiaoxi's plan would definitely be ruined, and her sacrifice would become meaningless.
Lu Zhiyan frowned: "Why are you in such a hurry?" β
"In your eyes, am I a very patient person?" He sneered, drank the wine from the glass in front of him, and then stood up: "Since you don't want to say it, why do you have to drag me here and waste time." β
When he finished speaking, he turned to leave.
