Lujiang is pumping, please come back later. If everyone knows that Ye Chu's lateness is due to Ye Chu's deliberate mischief, then everyone will stand by her side, and she can also reveal Ye Chu's true face to everyone.
Ye Jiarou carefully pulled her hair behind her ears, trying to deliberately reveal her white neck. The other hand grabbed the corner of her clothes, which seemed to show her uneasiness.
"Are everyone waiting for me? Because my sister doesn't want to give me a ride...so I can only carpool with others. The car on the road has a breakdown, which makes everyone worry."
When Ye Jiarou called Ye Chu by name, she looked in Ye Chu's direction aggrievedly, accusing Ye Chu both in and out of words.
Because of a car breakdown, Ye Jiarou's friend Bai Min was also late. She originally wanted to go back to her room to tidy up, but Ye Jiarou suggested to come to the banquet hall first, saying that she was afraid that everyone would worry about them.
Bai Min originally wanted to refuse, but Ye Jiarou pulled her all the way over. If it is said that she still doesn't understand Ye Jiarou's thoughts, then she has lived for more than ten years in vain.
On the way to the manor, Ye Jiarou also suffered a lot. Obviously the car was almost at the destination, but the car just turned off.
Ye Jiarou and the others had no choice but to drag their luggage for a long mountain road. When they opened the door, dinner hadn't started yet.
Ye Jiarou took it for granted that everyone was waiting for them.
After Ye Jiarou finished speaking, everyone looked at Ye Chu with hotter eyes, feeling that they would see a good show.
Ye Chu watched Ye Jiarou's self-directed and acted with cold eyes, and she pretended to be surprised before Ye Jiarou could be complacent for too long.
"Could it be that Jiarou thinks that I didn't carry you on purpose, I can't bear this charge, you clearly know that I am severely allergic to peach blossoms, and you have sprayed so much peach blossom perfume..."
Before Ye Chu finished speaking, everyone began to look at Ye Jiarou again, but their eyes had changed.
Ye Chu's popularity has always been good, so they naturally believed Ye Chu's words.
This Ye Jiarou is really scheming, to frame her own sister openly and secretly, it's really amazing.
As soon as Ye Chu finished speaking, Ye Jiarou became a little anxious. She wished she could tell all the bad things Ye Chu had done to her. She didn't want everyone to be deceived by Ye Chu.
Ye Jiarou became anxious: "Sister, I didn't..."
Out of anxiety, Ye Jiarou twisted her clothes desperately with her fingers, as if she had been wronged a lot.
Ye Chuge panicked, but still pretended to understand: "Jiarou, don't worry, I know Jiarou didn't do it on purpose, because I'm allergic to peach blossoms, so I'm sorry for making you late."
Ye Chu played the role of a perfect good sister, and it was clearly Ye Jiarou's fault, but she even apologized to Ye Jiarou.
There are many people who are jealous of Ye Chu, and they have no choice but to praise Ye Chu at this time.
Not only did Ye Chu look good, he dressed elegantly without stealing the limelight from his master, and he even behaved very grandly.
At this time, everyone looked at the embarrassed Ye Jiarou again, tsk tsk, it really was a petty air.
Ye Chu continued to smile: "It seems that Jiarou's journey was not easy, so hurry back to the room to freshen up, the dinner party is about to start, it's not good to make everyone hungry."
Then, Ye Chu waved to Ye Jiarou. Ye Jiarou's complexion darkened, and she instantly felt like a pet that Ye Chu would come and go at a whim.
Yan Manman's face was as dark as a pot sticker, she wished she could strangle Ye Jiarou who was standing in front of her. She hasn't finished boasting about her manor, and now she is interrupted, how can she continue?
Now everyone's attention is attracted by the two sisters of the Ye family. It is obviously her banquet, and she should be the one to show off!
Yan Manman walked up to Ye Jiarou and looked at her arrogantly through his nostrils.
"Ye Jiarou, I know you've never been on stage, but today is my birthday party, so you should tidy up a little bit."
There are quite a few people present, Yan Manman is not a stupid person like a pig, her voice can only be heard by Ye Jiarou and Ye Jiarou's friends.
Bai Min, who came with Ye Jiarou, didn't want to stay any longer. She could see the awkward atmosphere at the scene at a glance, and she blamed Ye Jiarou.
It was clear that Ye Jiarou wanted to take the opportunity to disgust Ye Chu, and deliberately pulled her on. If she was still in the car with Ye Jiarou when she went back, she would be out of her mind.
Bai Minli ignored Ye Jiarou, talked to Yan Manman, and went back to the room prepared for her.
Ye Jiarou didn't expect Bai Min to leave without waiting for her. She stomped her feet lightly on the spot, and said goodbye to everyone in a gentle voice.
"I don't know what happened to Bai Min. I'm a little worried. I have to go and see her first. I'm sorry to disturb everyone's dinner. I'm not here to accompany you."
Ye Jiarou blushed and apologized, and chased Bai Min out. Fortunately, Bai Min left early, otherwise he would have turned his face on the spot when he heard Ye Jiarou's words.
After the farce passed, the dinner party finally began. Ignoring Yan Manman's gloomy face, the dinner went smoothly.
Fu Tiantian, who was sitting on Ye Chu's right side, touched Ye Chu's arm: "Is this the good show you let me watch? Not bad, not bad. Seeing Ye Jiarou make a fool of herself makes me feel good."
Ye Chu smiled, didn't talk to him, the fun is still to come, this is barely an appetizer.
Tomorrow's birthday party, that's the most important thing.
Ye Chu sat in his seat and didn't speak.
The people who eat together are all girls, of course gossip is unavoidable.
"Do you know what the latest gossip is?" a senior official's daughter broke the silence.
After she whetted everyone's appetite, she said, "Everyone has heard of Song Qianru, the daughter of the Minister of Foreign Affairs. She has become popular again recently."
This person happened to be at odds with Song Qianru, so naturally she had to be the one to talk about it.
"I've heard about this too." Another girl beside her also echoed.
"It's not good for her to pursue anyone. She insists on pursuing the young commander Lu Huai. Who doesn't know that Lu Sanshao is the hottest single man."
"This is embarrassing. Lu Sanshao clearly expressed his refusal. She also creates chance encounters everywhere. Don't think that people don't understand her thoughts."
"I don't have the reserve of a girl, but Song Qianru has always been like this. She likes to play tricks when she sees something she likes."
"..."
All these words reached Ye Chu's ears, she ate the dishes carelessly, these gossips flowed in from one ear to the other like the wind.
These days, Lu Sanshao is always living in other people's mouths, and Ye Chu has never seen him again.
At least she won't bump into him again.
***
A small building in the south of the manor is remote and quiet, where the guests of Police Chief Yan Zhen live. The guards are strict, and outsiders are not allowed to enter.
With hot tea on the table, Yan Zhen sat opposite a man in military uniform, and the two chatted happily.
Everyone knows that Police Commissioner Yan Zhen has a violent temper. This kind of temperament can't be followed by literature, but by martial arts. His subordinates were all controlled so submissively that no one dared to be disobedient.
Yan Zhen always had a serious face, and it was rare to show a smile this time: "Young commander, how is Governor Lu?"
The man known as the Young Marshal sat quietly, with a tall figure and a straight back.
The smile on the corner of Lu Huai's mouth was very polite, and his tone was neither cold nor cold: "Father is working in Nanjing, so he specially entrusted me to give a gift."
"Why does the warlord need to be so polite..." Yan Zhen verbally evaded, but readily accepted, "I just did a small thing."
Lu Huai nodded slightly: "Thank you uncle for your help."
"If the young commander has nothing to do, he will stay here for a few days." Yan Zhen boasted, "Aside from other things, my house is quiet, which is different from the noise in Shanghai."
Lu Huai knew that Yan Zhen's intention was to get closer to him. But he didn't get close to people very often, so he naturally wanted to refuse.
Yan Zhen seemed to see Lu Huai's thoughts, and immediately expressed his sincerity before he spoke.
"I've ordered it down, no one can get close to this building." Yan Zhen continued, "Don't worry, Young Commander, I'll let Adjutant Zhou get the things for you."
Yan Zhen's words have reached this point, if Lu Huai refuses again, he will lose face.
Lu Huai stroked the teacup with his fingers, and smiled very lightly: "Thank you uncle."
"Tomorrow is my daughter's birthday, and she will hold a banquet in the main building." Yan Zhen patted his chest and assured, "But don't worry, young commander, no one will disturb you."
After Yan Zhen left, Lu Huai sat at the desk and flipped through books while drinking tea. It was already dark, and the light that diffused into the room outlined his stern figure.
After a long time, Lu Huai reached out his hand to turn off the light, and lay on the bed, but did not fall asleep. The night was clearly very dark, but he was very awake.
Oddly enough, I couldn't fall asleep.
For some reason, Lu Huai thought of the woman on White Road that night again.
But he had only heard her voice, and he had no clues, so he couldn't find out anything.
I still remember her slender arms exposed outside, although they were not shiny, they were as white as snow.
Lu Huai suddenly felt irritable and frowned.
Autumn is here, the temperature is getting lower and lower, and Lu Huai slowly regained his composure.
He closed his eyes.
The grotesque lights, the men and women who wantonly tease, the smell of alcohol and powder in the air are intertwined, this is an adult world.
As soon as Fu Tiantian came in, she was taken aback. In such a big place, where would she go to find those adulterers?
Fu Tiantian tightened Ye Chu's hand: "Ah Chu, this place is so big, what should I do?"
Don't look at Fu Tiantian's carefree attitude, she is actually a fifteen-year-old girl, it's her first time to come to an entertainment place, and she's here to catch rape, so of course she will be nervous.
But Ye Chu was different. In his previous life, Ye Chu experienced the downfall of his family and the death of his relatives. No matter what the occasion, Ye Chu could face it calmly.
Ye Chu looked at Fu Tiantian: "Don't panic, Tiantian, I'm here." Fu Tiantian's heart immediately settled down, she believed in Ah Chu.
"But..." Fu Tiantian looked around, feeling extremely distressed, "The boxes here all look the same, my eyes are blurred."
In her previous life, Ye Chu and Fu Tiantian went to catch rape together, so she knew which box Fu Tiantian's father and dancer Zhang Xinli were in.
But this time, Ye Chu would not let Fu Tiantian rush in recklessly, she thought of another better way.
"Tian Tian, my cousin knows the manager of MGM. Let me go and ask for you first."
Ye Chu's cousin Su Mingzhe is a playboy who often goes to the dance hall. Su Mingzhe did have some friendship with the manager of MGM, so Ye Chu used this excuse to keep Fu Tiantian.
After Fu Tiantian was settled, Ye Chu immediately went to the box where the dancing girl Zhang Xinli was.
She waited patiently, and after a while, she finally waited for Zhang Xinli to come out.
After Zhang Xinli came out, Ye Chu followed her all the way, watching Zhang Xinli enter the bathroom, Ye Chu smiled slightly, the time had come.
Zhang Xinli hummed and walked in. She just called the Fu family a few days ago and provoked that useless woman. Seeing that she is about to take over, can she be in a bad mood?
Zhang Xinli looked in the mirror, and the more she looked at it, the happier she became, and an unstoppable smile appeared on the corners of her brows and eyes. And just when Zhang Xinli was proud...
The light in the bathroom suddenly went out!
Zhang Xinli was taken aback for a moment, and the surroundings suddenly fell into darkness.
There was a snap, and the door closed.
Zhang Xinli didn't realize that something was wrong, and cursed secretly: "It's unlucky, why is the light broken?"
Suddenly, a faint voice sounded in the silence: "Zhang Xinli, you have caused me so much misery."
Hearing this voice suddenly, Zhang Xinli was startled, she said in fear: "Who is pretending to be a ghost?"
Ye Chu sneered, lowered his voice and continued, "I'm Xiaomei. We were dancers in Beiping together."
"You also defrauded me of all my money. I have no money to repay the debt, so I can only hang myself. All of this is thanks to you!"
Every word was very clear in the darkness, Zhang Xinli was terrified, it was Xiaomei, it was Xiaomei's ghost who came to seek her revenge.
Zhang Xinli used to be a dancer in Beiping, and she was good friends with Xiaomei. Xiaomei tried her best to make money to pay off her family's debts, but Zhang Xinli cheated Xiaomei of all her money, causing Xiaomei to hang herself.
After that, Zhang Xinli came to Shanghai and became a dancer for MGM.
Zhang Xinli's voice trembled: "Xiaomei, I'm the one who failed you, so just let me go, I will burn paper for you every year."
At this time, Zhang Xinli didn't suspect that someone was playing tricks on her at all, because no one knew about her work as a dancer in Beiping, and she didn't even mention the matter of defrauding Xiaomei of money.
Zhang Xinli decided that the one who could say this must be Xiaomei's ghost.
What's more, in the dark, people's fear will be magnified a hundred times, no matter what they perceive, they will only think about the worse.
"I heard that you have recently become rich again, Zhang Xinli, you killed me, but you live so comfortably, I will never let you go!"
In order to frighten Zhang Xinli, Ye Chu raised his tone and his voice became louder.
Zhang Xinli thought of Fu Tiantian's father, she said in fear: "Xiaomei, I..."
"If you stay with this man again, I will haunt you for the rest of my life!"
"You hurt me, and I won't make it easier for you!"
Ye Chu changed his voice: "Zhang Xinli, I'm having a hard time, come and accompany me..."
Zhang Xinli screamed in fear, "Don't come to me..." She opened the bathroom door and ran out in embarrassment.
Zhang Xinli screamed and ran back to the box, bumping into someone. Zhang Xinli looked up and found Fu Tiantian's father standing there.
Seeing that Zhang Xinli hadn't come back for a long time, Fu Tiantian's father came out to look for her, but he didn't expect to meet her here. He grabbed Zhang Xinli's arm and called out, "Lily."
What Xiaomei said just now appeared in Zhang Xinli's mind. She was terrified, screamed, and shook off his hand: "We will never see each other again!"
Fu Tiantian's father stood there in a daze, but Zhang Xinli had already run away.
After Zhang Xinli left, after a while, Ye Chu also walked out of the bathroom.
Ye Chu went to look for Fu Tiantian, when Fu Tiantian saw Ye Chu, his face was full of joy: "Just now that dancer ran out like crazy, those who didn't know thought she ran into a ghost."
Ye Chu smiled, didn't he hit a ghost? Zhang Xinli felt guilty, that's why she thought it was Xiaomei's ghost seeking revenge on her.
At this time, Fu Tiantian suddenly stopped talking, Ye Chu followed Fu Tiantian's gaze and saw that it was Fu Tiantian's father who walked out in a daze, as if he had lost his soul.
Fu Tiantian sneered: "He is worried about his lover, why don't he worry about his mother? His mother has shed tears these days, but he has turned a blind eye."
"Anyway, I don't want to talk to him anymore." Fu Tiantian turned his head and stopped looking at his father.
Ye Chu squeezed Fu Tiantian's hand tightly to show comfort. In this life, Zhang Xinli did not enter the Fu family's door, and Fu Tiantian would not always be unhappy. Ye Chu hoped that she would always keep smiling.
After dealing with these things, it was getting late. After all, Fu Tiantian and Ye Chu are two female students, so they can't stay outside for too long.
Passing through the crowd, passing by the dance floor, I heard the singing of the singer. MGM played and sang every night, but Ye Chu only felt it was noisy.
She pulled Fu Tiantian out and quickened her pace.
When he just arrived at the door, Fu Tiantian stopped walking: "Hey, that person looks familiar."
"It seems that I saw it in the teahouse last time..."
Ye Chu looked up, and there was a man standing there. His facial features are cold and hard, his face seems to be covered with a layer of frost, his lips are clearly shaped and delicate, but he never likes to smile.
MGM is so lively, but he is not tempted. Even the noise around him could only make him more stern.
Ye Chu was stunned, the man looked very familiar indeed. It's over, why did I meet him here?
Her feet froze in place.
***
In the MGM song and dance hall, Lu Huai was sitting in a box drinking.
Brandy poured into his stomach, cup after cup, barely washing away the disgust that had arisen in his heart just now.
Lu Huai wasn't drunk from the brandy, on the contrary, his vigilance was still high. As a young marshal, many people want his life, and danger often comes inadvertently.
Lu Huai put down the cup and said lightly, "Let's go."
Adjutant Zhou followed immediately.
They had just left the gate of MGM, and the cold wind was blowing, and there was a vague chill in the autumn night.
A girl's voice came from behind.
"Hey, that person looks familiar."
"It seems that I saw it in the teahouse last time..."
Lu Huai noticed You Dao's gaze coming from the right, and his face became a little colder.
"I remembered!" Fu Tiantian slapped his head, "It's the Third Young Master Lu that Song Qianru was chasing after!"
Fu Tiantian raised his voice, which was understood by Lu Huai. Lu Huai's expression remained unchanged, but the breath around him was even colder.
"Hush."
Ye Chu's voice was very soft, and he wanted to pull Fu Tiantian away quickly. She knew that Lu Huai remembered her voice and didn't want to be recognized by him.
Having spent a long time with Lu Huai in the previous life, Ye Chu knew that Lu Huai didn't like others talking about him. Not to mention, what Fu Tiantian talked about just now was still an irrelevant scandal.
Although they are just two female students, Lu Huai is uncertain, and maybe they will sneer mercilessly like they did in the teahouse that day.
But before Ye Chu and Fu Tiantian could leave, Lu Huai turned his head sideways.
Fu Tiantian was still standing there, but Ye Chu was pulling her away. Ye Chu's movements were a little big, which seemed to attract Lu Huai's attention.
In the next second, his eyes fell on Ye Chu.
Ye Chu wore a wide hat and dark clothes, and his slender white fingers tightly grasped the arm of the girl beside him.
The fingers are slender, and the smooth and fair skin is slightly red.
Ye Chu was stunned and just looked at him. Her heart tightened, her feet froze in place.
Lu Huai's face was stern, as if covered with a layer of frost. His lips were extremely thin, maybe because he didn't smile, they were a bit sharp.
For the sake of her own safety, Ye Chu didn't want to speak, she was afraid that Lu Huai would recognize who she was. But now this situation...
If nothing is done, Ye Chu will be very worried.
After a little thought, the corners of Ye Chu's mouth turned up, and he smiled at him.
Her neck was long and slender, and it was even whiter by the light behind her. On her fair and tender face, her eyes were extremely bright, and her lips were bright red.
This smile was a little awkward, but it eased the atmosphere just right.
Lu Huai's eyes stayed on Ye Chu's face for a few seconds, and then retracted. He still had a cold face, as if he didn't feel suspicious.
Ye Chu breathed a sigh of relief, he did not recognize her.
Previously, Lu Huai asked Shen Jiu to look for her, presumably because of the accident on White Road. Ye Chu was not sure if Lu Huai wanted to kill her, so he was very nervous.
