Chapter 294 If you want a piece of the pie, just say it
So I decided not to waste my time and just put my mind to it, thinking about what to do.
Then Scorpion finished chatting with them and came back to me.
"I really don't know how you persuaded Master Jiu to agree..."
Scorpion said this not because he wanted to talk to me, he just came over to complain and then left.
I looked at his departing back and scratched my head in confusion.
What do you mean, what did you agree to?
I thought of what I had just said about Annie, and it dawned on me.
Then I was a little surprised. I didn’t expect that Jiu Ye really listened to what I said.
I thought he wouldn't take it to heart.
After Scorpion left, two people came up and put a hood on my head. Then everything went dark before my eyes and I couldn’t see the road clearly. Chunchun was led away by them.
All I could sense was that I had to walk a long way out of the castle, and then I came to a car.
I was packed up and crammed into the car, there wasn't even a spacious seat for me, but I had no right to speak and could only endure it all in silence.
In the car, everyone was silent and I didn't know what to do. My mind involuntarily thought of the USB flash drive that Jiu Ye had just handed me.
I don’t know whether I should confess to Gu Hanting about the USB flash drive, but if I do, how should I explain to him that I work for Jiu Ye?
Thinking of this, I sighed helplessly and felt that life was really difficult.
But the funny thing is, I’m getting married the day after tomorrow.
Thinking of this, my heart began to stir again.
After all, other things may not be true, but marriage is definitely true.
When I thought of Gu Hanting's love for me, my heart started beating uncontrollably.
Just when I was still daydreaming, the car stopped suddenly.
Someone dragged me out of the car, and then my hood was taken off with my back to them.
Scorpion's voice sounded behind me.
"Don't look back, just keep moving forward."
Only then did I realize that Scorpion was in the same car with me.
Seeing this, I nodded. It felt so good to see the light again that I was stunned for a few seconds.
"What are you hesitating about? Why don't you leave?"
Scorpion spoke even more impatiently.
Seeing this, I nodded and hurriedly stepped forward.
Finally we returned along the same route. During these few times, I didn’t see their car once.
It wasn't until I was almost downstairs of the apartment building that I remembered that they had put my phone on airplane mode, and now I couldn't receive a single message.
I was wondering why a beautiful woman sent me a message.
And I didn’t know it would take so long. Now look at the time, it’s almost late at night. I’m afraid Lu Mian must be getting anxious waiting for me.
I turned the flight mode back on and walked home.
I just saw a bunch of messages pop up after replying to the network.
There are several important messages. I took a look and it seems that most of them were sent by Lu Mian.
"How are you? Why haven't you come back yet?"
"Why didn't you reply to my message? Did something happen?"
I looked at the message and could only reply helplessly: "I'm back. My phone ran out of battery halfway through the trip. I finally found a place to charge it and I'm downstairs now."
Then I came to the door and pushed it open. Lu Mian came up to me suddenly and looked at me nervously.
"Why did you come back so late? I was worried to death."
Seeing this, I smiled helplessly and continued.
"Sorry, my phone is out of battery. I just charged it a little bit and came back without stopping."
Seeing this, he looked at me carefully, walked around me, pointed at my arm and said.
"What's wrong with your arm? There's a red mark on it?"
I quickly covered my arms, smiled and pretended to speak casually.
"It's okay, I just bumped into it accidentally, don't worry about me."
After hearing this, she was still a little puzzled, but in the end she didn't think too much about it.
"No matter what, just come back. I'll be waiting for your news at home. I haven't even eaten yet. Do you want to eat something with me?"
I nodded. I was hungry too, so we sat down and had a meal together.
While eating, I kept thinking about the USB flash drive.
Lu Mian is very attentive and she could tell immediately that I was in a bad mood.
"What's wrong with you? You seem to be in a bad mood today."
"It's okay, I'm just too tired today."
Faced with Lu Mian's various questions, I just felt very tired. I didn't have the energy to deal with them one by one, so I ate a few mouthfuls of food and left.
I returned to the bedroom and lay on the bed, with Jiu Ye's words still in my mind, and I felt extremely stressed.
But thinking that I’m getting married the day after tomorrow, I don’t mind having this little bit of time. No matter what, I’ll have to wait until after the wedding to decide everything.
Thinking so, I took the initiative to arrange a small vacation for myself, and then fell asleep in a hurry.
The next day, when I woke up and was having breakfast, someone rang the doorbell.
I was wondering who came so early when I heard the bodyguard next to me say this.
"Miss Chi, they said they are your family, do you want to let them in?"
When I heard that it was the Chi family who came, I raised my eyebrows.
You think I'm getting married, so you all want to get a piece of the pie, right?
My dowry is so valuable that everyone wants to take a bite?
As I thought about this, I sneered.
I know the character of the Chi family very well, so I don't intend to let them in just like that.
I took a deep breath and then said to them,
"Wait a moment, you can say I'm still asleep and you don't dare to wake me up without permission, so let them wait outside."
"Ok."
The bodyguard retreated respectfully.
I ate my breakfast slowly and did some exercise.
Maintaining a regular life these days will help you avoid edema.
But less than an hour later, I heard a quarrel outside the house. Not long after, the bodyguard looked embarrassed and came to my side cautiously.
"Miss Chi, they are getting impatient waiting outside and asked me to urge you to wake up quickly."
I was totally cracked up by this.
I'm preparing to get married, not going to work, so I'm not in a hurry. But now I'm being urged by others.
In that case, let's continue waiting.
Thinking of this, I sneered and simply went to make another pot of tea.
"Thank you for your hard work. Tell them to wait a little longer and tell them that Mr. Gu didn't want to wake me up."
Sure enough, after Mr. Gu moved out, their voices became much quieter and my ears became much quieter.
I slowly brewed a pot of tea and sipped it myself, watching Lu Mian still sleeping in the room. I decided when she would wake up and when I would let the Chi family in.
Otherwise, it would be bad to wake Lu Mian up.
Thinking of this, I drank the tea in the cup and curled my lips in satisfaction.
Time passed minute by minute, and Lu Mian showed no sign of waking up. Maybe he was worried that I was tired last night.
