Chapter 55: Hangzhou (2)
"What do you say? Liang Jiu is missing? Fang Xun was in the wedding dress shop to accompany Patricia to try on the wedding dress, but he didn't expect to receive a call from Liang Xianyun.
"Steward Li said that she went on a trip, but she didn't know where she went. I checked the entry and exit records, and a taxi picked her up that day. Liang Xianyun was very worried about Liang Jiu, she first thought of asking Fang Xun, but she didn't expect Fang Xun to know where Liang Jiu went.
"Can't you find out where she went?"
"I can't find the flight record, and there is no train, probably by long-distance bus."
"Okay, don't worry, I'll contact her here."
"If you get in touch, you must tell me."
After hanging up the phone, Fang Xun walked out of the bridal shop directly, and Patricia had just finished changing her wedding dress when she saw his back disappear at the door.
"What's going on?" Patricia asked Fang Xun's assistant.
"Something urgent, and the gentleman said you can take a fancy to it." The assistant bowed his head respectfully.
Patricia's hand rubbed against the hem of the wedding dress, and she looked at the door with a dull look in her eyes.

Liang Jiu's phone really couldn't get through, so Fang Xun directly called home, but unfortunately Steward Li didn't know when he asked, the old man seemed to be in a hurry, and Fang Xun couldn't force anything to ask.
"Book a ticket back to China." After putting down the phone, he instructed the secretary.
"Okay."
"Wait a minute, fly straight to Hangzhou." Fang Xun's hand clasped the table, Liang Jiu must have gone to Hangzhou.
"And ...... return?" The secretary hesitated to ask, but the gentleman's wedding was going to take place next week.
"I'll be back the day before the wedding." Fang Xun paused for a moment, and then said, "Book two return tickets, and Liang Jiu will come back too." β
"Okay."

The British side is looking for Liang Jiu, and Lin Bei, who came to Hangzhou with Liang Jiu, is also looking for Liang Jiu.
He couldn't contact Liang Jiu since the afternoon, so he came to Liang Jiu's room and knocked on the door, but found that Liang Jiu was not in the room at all, he originally thought that Liang Jiu was going to take a walk nearby or in the yard, but he didn't expect to see no one after looking for half an hour.
Liang Jiu's mobile phone was also turned off, and the uneasiness in Lin Bei's heart gathered little by little.
"When will the girl who came with me go out?" He came to the front desk and asked the staff.
"Well, it looks like I went out shortly after I checked in." The boy is a young man who came to work and change accommodation, he remembers Liang Jiu, after all, it is difficult to ignore such a good-looking person, "She went over there and asked me how to get to Huxin Hotel." β
"Lake Center Hotel?"
"Well, Huxin Hotel is a high-end resort hotel, and most people don't know it, and it's not open to the public......"
"Thank you."
Lin Bei walked out of the door and walked towards the Huxin Hotel, his brows gathered together, she still remembered that the information she learned from Cheng Fangyuan had appeared in the Huxin Hotel, which was a vacation place for entertaining high-ranking officials, and it was also the place where Liang Jiu's father and Liang Xianyun met for the first time.
How could Liang Jiu go there?
All the way through the reeds of the lake, passers-by are looking at him, Lin Bei just took a shower and his hair was still slightly wet, at this time the phone rang, he looked at the familiar string of country names to know who it was.
He put the phone back in his pocket, since Fang Xun had chosen to get married, what qualifications did he have to ask Liang Jiu about it.
The Huxin Hotel is located on a hillside with mountains and rivers in the background, and this is not the main attraction of the scenic area, let alone a place that tourists will visit, so she was not surprised when Liang Jiu was stopped by the guards at the door.
She had seen this kind of situation a lot, so she was no stranger to it, and as long as she saw the heavily guarded posture at the door, she probably understood what kind of place it was.
She simply found a clean place to sit on the floor opposite the door, and she looked at the closed door in distraction.
She always felt familiar, but she couldn't remember if she had really been here, and she felt at a loss for everything in front of her.
When Lin Bei found Liang Jiu, he saw her sitting alone on the ground from a distance, as if her soul had been drained, and she was depressed.
Lin Bei sat down next to her, Liang Jiu didn't notice that someone had come, he looked at Liang Jiu's side face and found that she didn't know when she cried.
"Liang Jiu, you know what is going on in my family."
Liang Jiu found him at this time, and lowered his head a little embarrassed, "Why are you here?" β
"The front desk of the hostel said you went this way, so I followed it."
"Let's go." Liang Jiu got up and was about to leave, but Lin Bei stopped him.
"Actually, I came to Hangzhou this time just for you." Lin Bei asked her to sit down, then looked at the closed door in front of her and said, "You know everything about our family, and your family ......"
"You don't have to worry about my business."
"Then why do you care about my business?"
Liang Jiu couldn't speak, she pondered the meaning of Lin Bei's words, did she blame her for being nosy, but she was just worried.
"If you're not happy, I won't care about it in the future."
"I'm very happy."
Liang Jiu was stunned, she looked up, and was stunned by Lin Bei's serious appearance.
"Originally, I thought I would be angry because I never wanted to be weak in front of others, I didn't need sympathy or help, but when you know who you really are, I realized how important it is to be understood." Lin Bei took a breath, "I grew up in a very complicated family, everyone thought I was happy, but in fact, I would rather live a plain life. β
"Lin Bei......" Liang Jiu remembered Quan Xiaorui's matter, and couldn't help but feel a little sorry for him, "You have a lot, and you lose more." β
"Then you'll think I'm pitiful."
"No, it won't." Liang Jiu smiled, "You are much stronger than me, you are open to me now, but I can't do it." β
"Why don't you want to believe me, don't you need someone to talk to?" Lin Bei frowned.
"I have someone to talk to." It's just that he doesn't belong to her anymore.
Lin Bei's eyes darkened, Liang Jiu stood up and stretched out his hand to him, "Actually, I am very satisfied to know you, our life trajectories are different, don't worry about me anymore, let's go eat." β
Lin Bei grabbed her hand, it was cold and soft to the touch, just like her heart, cold to him, soft to that person.
He looked back at the Huxin Hotel, not knowing what kind of person this girl's father was.
***
On the first night he arrived in Hangzhou, Liang Jiu had insomnia, and the scenes of the afternoon kept emerging in front of him.
She was sure that everything around her was familiar, but she couldn't find a single fragment of memories.
Although the Huxin Hotel stood there alone, Liang Jiu knew that there must be something hidden inside, because everything was too familiar, the guards at the door, the location away from the hustle and bustle, and the eyes of those guards looking at her.
Although she had never heard from Liang Xianyun that she still had an industry in Hangzhou, Liang Jiu didn't know why she intuitively thought that all of this was inextricably linked to Liang Xianyun.
Liang Jiu rolled over and got out of bed, she put on a cotton coat and walked out of the room.
The front desk guy on the first floor was playing a game, and was startled when he saw her appear, "Something?" β
Liang Jiu shook his head and walked straight to the bench in the yard, the little brother put down the game and followed, "Do you want to drink something?" β
There was soft music in the room, which he had listened to for the long night, and the love songs played were unusually ambiguous, and he ran back to the hall with a shy face, and did not dare to come out and ask anything more.
Liang Jiu sat there, the dim light shining above her head, and she looked up at the night sky, which was dark.
She took out her phone from her pocket, and a text message from Lin Feifei popped up.
"Your brother is going to have a baby! He is married to his son! βLin Feifei
Smack-
The phone slipped from her hand and slammed into the bluestone floor.
