After typing on his phone, Li Jingchen paused with his fingers before pressing send.
The two of them had agreed to break off the engagement before, but he suddenly regretted it. It was hard to justify, so it would be more sincere to make a phone call.
Thinking of this, he deleted the message with his long fingers and dialed the number.
beep--
"The number you dialed is currently on a call, please call again later."
Li Jingchen frowned and put down his phone without much thought.
The airport is in the suburbs, and the distance from the Dorsett Hotel to the airport is not that close. Half an hour later, he dialed the number again.
beep--
"The number you dialed is currently on a call, please call again later."
Repeated several times, it is the same.
The night was dark outside the car window, and there was a hint of anger in the man's eyes.
"Qin Qi, give me your mobile phone."
Assistant Qin saw his boss's gloomy expression in the rearview mirror and didn't dare to say anything more and handed over his mobile phone.
Li Jingchen lowered his eyes and dialed the number again using Assistant Qin's mobile phone.
Toot—toot—
After three rings, the man raised his eyebrows slightly, already guessing a possibility.
——He, Li Jingchen, was blocked!
Just as he was about to hang up the phone, a mute female voice came from the other side, as if she had been awakened from her sleep, "Hey, you better have something big to burn your ass... hmm? An unknown number?"
Didi——
The phone was hung up and a busy tone sounded.
Su Shengsheng, who was woken up from her sleep, frowned in anger, turned over and continued to bury her head back in the quilt.
The woman's voice sounded nice, and it felt vaguely familiar.
Li Jingchen's anger had mostly subsided.
"Get me a new mobile phone number tomorrow." He returned the phone to Assistant Qin and tapped the screen with his index finger. "Check the residential address of the person who uses this number."
"Okay, Mr. Li."
-
Assistant Qin drove all the way and finally made it to the airport before the flight arrived.
From a distance, I saw a short, wealthy old lady wearing a cheongsam and an elegant figure.
When Mrs. Li saw her grandson's face, she immediately became serious, "Who asked you to pick me up in the middle of the night? You won't be working tomorrow, and I have nothing wrong with my health."
Li Jingchen took the thing from grandma's hand and said, "Of course you are in good health. I can't live without grandma. I have to take a look to feel at ease."
Old Mrs. Li nodded at him, "You are the only one who can make grandma happy. If you are really filial, it is important to bring my granddaughter-in-law back to me as soon as possible."
"Okay, don't worry, I will definitely take her back." Li Jingchen helped the old lady into the car and explained with a smile, "Although we are babies, we still need to get along with each other and give her and the child some time to adapt. Wait for me I’ll catch her completely and bring her back to you.”
"Don't bluff me. You told me before that you had never seen him before." The old lady didn't believe it at all.
"I haven't seen him before, but I saw him immediately after I called you."
"real?"
"Really." Li Jingchen's eyes were sincere...
"You have to work tomorrow, go back quickly, walk away, don't bother me here." After the two sent Old Mrs. Li back to Lotus Garden, they were driven back by the old lady.
It was already late at night when Li Jingchen returned to the Royal Hotel. He sat at the table and read through the interview process for the preliminaries again, then closed the document, washed up and went to bed.
Lying on the bed, he pulled out the number that was marked as Serena Su, and he always felt that the tone of the deep voice was a bit familiar...
The next day,
Su Shengsheng had long received the news that today the organizer would organize a collection of photos before the preliminaries. Since the theme of the preliminaries was natural scenery, the site of the collection would be in the mountains on the outskirts of Beijing, and would be taken there by Li's bus.
She put on light makeup, wore a light blue sports casual suit, had two braids, and two plain hoop earrings in her ears. She looked like a female college student who had just entered school.
As soon as he got in the car, he attracted everyone's attention.
"Shengsheng, you are so beautiful today." Wei Qin came over and said with a smile.
Wei Qin wore a white sportswear and a ponytail, and her smile was as cute as before.
Su Shengsheng suppressed the emotion in her eyes and responded with a smile, "You too."
She looked out the window and said, "Everyone is here, why haven't you started yet?"
"Don't you know? Mr. Li is going with us." Wei Qin whispered.
As soon as he finished speaking, Li Jingchen walked up. The man was tall and wearing a gray sports suit with a white T-shirt underneath. His overly bright eyes looked a little more refreshing when he was not talking. The smell of a male college athlete.
As soon as they got in the car, there was quite a commotion inside the car.
Su Shengsheng picked at the end of her eyes almost unnoticeably. She didn't blame herself for jumping into this big trap back then. In fact, this trap was indeed attractive enough.
The car soon arrived at the foot of a suburban mountain. The leader of the group asked everyone to move freely in groups to collect ideas.
In fact, it is just a small outing activity.
Su Lian winked at Wei Qin. Wei Qin hesitated for a moment, pinched the powder in her pocket, and then looked decisively,
He said to Su Shengsheng, "Shengsheng, this is my first time here. Let's go inside and have a look."
Su Shengsheng glanced at Su Lian, but she didn't expect that she could hold back so quickly and shook her head, "I won't go."
Wei Qin didn't expect that Su Shengsheng would reject her. Her eyes suddenly turned red and she whispered, "If you don't want to go, don't go."
"Wei Qin, not everyone deserves kindness. If you sympathize with her and there is no one to form a team, step forward to help her out. Others will not accept your kindness." Chen Jing walked over with Su Lian on her arm, " We are obviously in a group, but there is no team spirit at all, and I don’t know how you are going to pass the preliminaries. I just said that anyone who is in a group with her will be dragged to death."
"Don't say that to Shengsheng. Everyone is an independent individual. It is my own choice that I am willing to help her. It is also her freedom if she does not want to accommodate me."
Wei Qin's words seemed to be helping Su Shengsheng.
In fact, like Chen Jing, she was portrayed as a person with poor professional skills and ungratefulness.
Su Shengsheng always had a slight smile on her lips, looking at Chen Jing and Su Lian, "The inside of this mountain forest is the general control area of the nature reserve, and you may not encounter any ferocious beasts in it. Wei Qin is only twenty-one, I'm worried Her safety.”
"The innermost part is the nature reserve. If you walk inside, you're just on the edge. There's nothing going on. I think you're just too lazy to walk. I'm giving you an excuse." Chen Jing retorted.
Wei Qin pulled Su Shengsheng and said, "I grew up in a poor family and have rough skin and thick flesh. Unlike you, who is delicate and delicate, I didn't think carefully. I'm sorry, let's just sit outside here for a while."
The sound here is not quiet. When people pass by in twos and threes, they look sideways and eavesdrop out of their instinct to eat melons.
Even Li Jingchen, who was in front of him, glanced back a few times as if he was not there.
Seeing that Su Shengsheng heard everything that should be heard, she lowered her eyes and said,
"Okay, since you are not afraid, let's go together."
Good words can't persuade a damn ghost.
Even if you try to persuade her, don't blame her if something goes wrong.
