When they arrived at the company, Zhang Xuning transferred the money to the company's account, while Zhu Xiaozhu showed her a video.
In the video, a man with a trash can on his head was kneeling with his upper body bare at the door of the bar's bathroom, muttering, "If I don't pay back the money I owe, I deserve death."
He couldn't see the face clearly, but Zhang Xuning could tell at a glance that it was Jiang Jun.
Neither the recorder nor the razor blade were used, and in the end it was Cheng Jingzhou who helped.
Jiang Jun's matter was resolved, and Cheng Jingzhou was her only big worry now. Last time, under Cheng Jingzhou's watchful eye, she released him from the blacklist. As a result, she was always on tenterhooks when it was time to get off work these days, fearing that he would call.
A week later, Xue Yinglan called and said that Shitong had returned from abroad and asked if she was free to have a meal together in the evening.
Lu Shitong is the youngest daughter of the Lu family and Lu Dongting's sister. She and Xue Yinglan are college classmates. They went abroad two years ago. Now that they are back, they naturally want to get together and reminisce about the past.
After two years of not seeing each other, Lu Shitong is beautiful again, with radiance at the corners of her eyes and eyebrows.
"Sister-in-law."
Lu Shitong's call was natural and affectionate, but she was a little dazed and responded in a low voice, "Long time no see."
She had been engaged to Lu Dongting for five years, but she had never been called sister-in-law. She knew that Lu Shitong looked down upon her in his heart. When he was the most angry, he pointed at her face and said that she was shameless for flirting with others.
I didn't expect that she would change so much after meeting for the first time two years later.
"Shitong, when did you come back? Why didn't you tell us so we could pick you up."
Lu Shitong smiled, "It's been almost a week."
After a pause, she added, "Jingzhou picked me up, so I won't bother you."
When the eldest lady of the Lu family returns to China, she will not trouble them in any way.
Her smile was dazzling, and her eyes were filled with sparkles.
"Jingzhou is back too. When did it happen?" Xue Yinglan was surprised.
"He came back early, almost three months ago."
"The same goes for Jingzhou. He didn't even say a word when he came back. In this way, we can make an appointment next time and call them all out."
After Xue Yinglan finished speaking, she said congratulations, and Zhang Xuning followed suit with a dull congratulations. That night, the person Cheng Jingzhou wanted to answer on the phone turned out to be Lu Shitong.
"Xuning, aren't you unhappy that I'm with Jingzhou?" In the bathroom, Lu Shitong held Zhang Xuning's hand and asked pitifully and nervously.
"how could be."
Zhang Xuning wanted to withdraw his hand, but she held it firmly, "Then will you take him back?"
Zhang Xuning was stunned. He didn't expect that she would ask such a straightforward question. Seeing her aggrieved and wary look, Zhang Xuning felt so stuffed up in his heart that he felt cold all over. He wanted to respond to her words, but he couldn't catch his breath. It took him a while to say, "Don't think about it. He and I ended five years ago."
She added, "I am now your brother's fiancée. If nothing else happens, we will get married this year."
Lu Shitong patted his chest and seemed relieved, "I knew that you only had my brother in your heart. Also, you must have fallen in love with my brother, otherwise you wouldn't have slept with him."
She didn't know whether Lu Shitong brought up old things accidentally or intentionally. She was the only one who was embarrassed. Waking up in Lu Dongting's bed was a fact that she still couldn't accept, but she had to accept it.
After the dinner, Xue Yinglan asked Lu Shitong how to go back.
"Jingzhou said he would pick me up."
Zhang Xuning wanted to leave first, but Xue Yinglan held her arm and refused, "Let's wait with Shitong for a while, and take a look at the boat racing. It has been five years, and there has been no change."
A black car was parked on the side of the road. The driver got out of the car and opened the door for Lu Shitong.
Lu Shitong saw that there was no one in the back row, "Assistant Chu, where is the racing boat?"
"Mr. Cheng has a party tonight, so he sent me to pick you up."
Lu Shitong was a little displeased, but considering Chu Rui's identity, that dissatisfaction was not worth mentioning. He happily got into the car and waved goodbye to Zhang Xuning and Xue Yinglan.
When Chu Rui saw Zhang Xuning, surprise flashed in his eyes, and he turned around to get on the car.
"I really didn't expect Shitong and Jingzhou to be together. You said, Shitong went abroad just for Jingzhou, right?" Xue Yinglan looked unbelievable, "Xuning, don't be sad."
"I'm not sad." She knew five years ago that it was impossible for them to be together, otherwise she would not have given him an explanation when she got off Lu Dongting's bed.
After Chu Rui sent Lu Shitong back, he called Cheng Jingzhou, "Brother Six, I saw Zhang Xuning."
"Where?"
"When I picked up Lu Shitong, Lu Shitong said that they would have a dinner together in the evening."
Cheng Jingzhou acknowledged it and hung up the phone. When Lu Shitong called him to pick him up, he didn't say he was having dinner with Zhang Xuning and the others.
Zhang Xuning had just arrived home and received a WeChat message from Cheng Jingzhou, asking her to come to the club at nine o'clock. She did not reply and blocked her number and WeChat again.
When I went out the next day, when the door opened, I saw Cheng Jingzhou leaning against the wall.
She was a little too late to react. When she thought of closing the door, someone else had already come in and closed the door behind her.
