Chapter 222: The Last Branch
Cheng Junxi returned to the villa, deserted.
took out the strawberries that Shang Shishi bought for him from the refrigerator, he ate some, padd his stomach, and went back to the room early to sleep.
Thinking of what Shang Shishi said to him in the hospital today, he couldn't fall asleep after tossing and turning.
"I want you to be my boyfriend from today."
If they were in Canada, he might have agreed in one go, but not now.
He still has a lot to do, and he can't let his feelings affect him.
Shang Shishi has always disagreed with some of his practices after returning to China, and all along, he didn't want to involve Shang Shishi, she must follow him back to China.
Now, his plan has not been completed, and talking about feelings at this time will only mislead him.
He had to stay calm.
When he gets what he wants, he will definitely be responsible for Shang Shishi.
……
It was late at night.
The flickering neon lights in the dark night can be seen through the floor-to-ceiling windows.
Song Xi'er sat on the recliner on the balcony, and the last time she looked at the time, it was half past one in the morning.
Lu Jinyan has not returned.
His phone didn't work.
She had been unable to get in touch with him and was worried.
It wasn't until two o'clock in the morning that Mu Mu's call came in.
She hurriedly picked it up, "Is Uncle with you?" ”
Intuition told her that Lu Jinyan might have gone to Night Charm to drink.
Yesterday, Lu Jinyan came back in the middle of the night, and he was very drunk.
"He is indeed with me."
"You ask him to answer the phone."
"He's probably not going to be able to answer the phone right now."
"Why? Is he drunk? ”
"Not really."
"And what's wrong with him?"
"To be honest, I don't know very well, tonight, he lives with me, and tomorrow I will send him back." Mu Mu's tone was not as serious as usual, but serious.
It gave her a sense of foreboding.
Just as she opened her mouth to say something, she heard a 'snap' on the other end of the phone, as if something had broken.
"That's it, you go to bed early, don't worry about Sumire."
After saying this, Mu Mu hung up the phone.
Putting the phone back in his pocket, he looked at Lu Jinyan sitting on the sofa.
His hands were bleeding, and he was still holding half of the wine glass that had just been smashed on the coffee table, and when he was talking to Song Xi'er on the phone, the 'bang' sound was that Lu Jinyan smashed a cup with his hand.
"What's the matter with you?"
He had never seen Lu Jinyan like this.
"I may be addicted to drugs." Lu Jinyan raised his head, his eyes scarlet.
Ignoring his bleeding hands, he took out an aluminum box from his pocket and threw it on the coffee table, and said with extreme patience: "There is something wrong with this cigarette." ”
"THIS IS TREASURER, I REMEMBER YOU NEVER LIKED TO SMOKE FOREIGN CIGARETTES."
"Check what's in the cigarette."
Mu Mu picked up the cigarette case, opened it, and found that there was only one left inside.
"The last one?"
Lu Jinyan nodded.
Of the two boxes of cigarettes that Song Xi'er handed him away, only the last one remained, and he had noticed something wrong with this cigarette in the last two days, because whenever he didn't smoke it, he would feel inexplicably irritated, as if there were countless ants crawling around in his chest.
The irritability made him very irritable, and even made him do something he shouldn't have done to Song Xi'er yesterday, so in the last one, he kept holding back and didn't move.
He wanted to find out what was going on with the cigarette and who would secretly do it to him.
