Chapter 69: Breaking Through

Jiang Li didn't understand what Lu Yan had to argue with him about.

But it was really surprising that Lu Yan would help Fan Peng clear his name.

Wasn't this the thing he pushed for?

Why did he change his mind and help Fan Peng?

All in all, it was a draw.

In short, it was good that Fan Peng got out safely and could go home to accompany his elderly parents.

Jiang Li listened to Fan Peng's casual chat about his future plans.

The mountainous area where Fan Peng's parents lived was at the junction of Shenzhen and Guangzhou.

It took about two hours to drive into the mountains.

The pickup truck was not as fast as other colleagues in the city, but it showed its stamina when it entered the mountains.

It arrived at Fan Peng's parents' home almost at the same time as everyone else.

After working from nine to five in high-rise buildings all day, they came to the primitive ecological wilderness with a strong rural atmosphere. A group of people had a lot of fun and ate farm food at Fan's parents' home. They returned home in the evening when it was almost dark.

When they left, the car couldn't hold so many people.

Fan Peng hadn't lived in his hometown for many years, and he needed to quickly clean up his house in the city so that he could sell it through an agent to pay off his debts.

So he drove the old pickup truck again, taking Jiang Li and everyone back to the city.

Halfway through the journey, the old pickup truck suddenly stopped moving.

It was dark and the car in front couldn't see the situation behind clearly, and it disappeared in a moment.

Fan Peng called the store manager, and a group of people were playing songs in the car, laughing and making noises, and the ringtones could not be heard.

When he was about to call for a tow truck again, he suddenly heard thunder.

This is a mountainous area with lush vegetation.

The weather changes suddenly.

The place where their car broke down was right at the foot of the winding mountain road of the newly developed tourist route.

Worried that it would rain heavily all of a sudden and there would be gravel and mud on the mountain, Fan Peng called for a tow truck while calling Jiang Li to get off. The two walked to a small hotel not far away to wait.

Halfway through the journey, marble-sized rain and hail fell from the top of their heads.

Jiang Li couldn't see, and it was difficult for her to walk on the bumpy road with a cane.

"How long will it take to walk like this? The hail will make a hole in my head!"

Fan Peng was so anxious that he turned around and hugged her by the waist. He put his arms on her back and knees, clenched his fists, and spread his arms flat, keeping Jiang Li's body away from his body, keeping a gentleman's hand.

Jiang Li also tensed her body, trying to reduce her movements as much as possible to avoid adding weight to the man.

Half an hour later, when they entered the small hotel, Fan Peng's arms were so weak that they were shaking.

Before he sent the person down, he bumped into a couple who hurried into the small hotel on the other side at the door.

Jiang Li was bumped by the woman who ran in front of him, and Fan Peng's hands were weak and he didn't hold her, so she slipped from his arms.

Then she fell into another strong embrace.

Fan Peng recognized the man under the umbrella and stuttered for a long time before he blurted out, "Lu, Mr. Lu..."

Lu Yan threw the little woman in his arms to the ground, and Jiang Li stumbled a few steps before he could stand firm.

Then he heard the sound of the door of the small hotel opening and closing.

"Xiao Li, Mr. Lu brought a woman into the small hotel, why don't you do anything about it?"

Fan Peng was worried for Jiang Li.

"How can I do it? Am I not going to go in with a man?"

After Jiang Li finished speaking, he pulled Fan Peng's arm and pushed the door in together. He first asked the two people next to the bar, "Open two standard rooms for us."

Who knows when the heavy rain outside will stop.

If it's a little later, when the hotel rooms are fully booked, they can only spend the night in the car.

The waiter at the bar apologized, "Are you four together? We only have two private rooms left. If you come in together, I don't know who to give it to. It's raining so hard, how about you discuss it?"

"You can give us a standard room, first come first served, you have to leave one for us!"

Bai Mengchu spoke first. She finally got Lu Yan to accompany her to collect inspiration, but he stayed away from her like a plague all the way.

Encountering a heavy rainstorm was simply God's chance for her.

Jiang Li had already booked a room in this mountain valley with other wild men. If Lu Yan still wanted to save face, he should have followed her suggestion.

Lu Yan really didn't refuse, and his cold eyes didn't even look at Jiang Li.

Bai Mengchu's chin was so proud that it was about to rise to the sky, but it was a pity that the person opposite was blind and couldn't see it, otherwise she would definitely laugh at Jiang Li.

"The two couples have agreed to share a room. If we encounter bad weather, we should be considerate and give way to each other. It's better to make it convenient for others than for ourselves..." The waiter said, looking at the two couples. Bai Mengchu was full of expectation, Lu Yan had a cold face and no expression could be seen. Surprisingly, Jiang Li next to her also had a blank expression. On the contrary, the tall Fan Peng next to her was so embarrassed that he kept scratching his head, "No, no, we are just colleagues. Xiao Li, you take the room card and sleep upstairs. I will go back to sleep in the car. Mr. Lu, I will sleep in the car!" Fan Peng said as he retreated to the door. Jiang Li pulled him back, "You may have to drive tomorrow. It's too dangerous if you don't rest well. Give me the car keys and I will sleep in the car." "It's not safe for a girl like you to sleep in the car. Besides, you can't even find the car because you can't see." When Fan Peng saw Jiang Li pulling him, Lu Yan's knife-like eyes flew over to stab him. He took a look at the increasingly heavy rain outside and rushed out with gritted teeth. He didn't want to annoy Lu Yan again, so he went to the police station for a second time.

"Come back!"

Fan Peng ran away so fast that Jiang Li had no time to catch him back.

Their car broke down at the foot of the mountain. It was inevitable that there would be falling rocks and mudslides in such heavy rain. It was too dangerous to stay in the car.

"There is a tourist bus outside our hotel that is also trapped. I asked my colleagues to tell the driver upstairs to open the door. If there are stranded passengers like you, you can stay on the bus for one night."

Jiang Li had to take out his mobile phone to call Fan Peng and tell him to find the bus.

The waitress saw that her eyes were inconvenient, so she took her hand and took her upstairs to the room in the elevator.

Lu Yan watched Jiang Li leave like this, without saying a word to him the whole time!

"Brother Yan, let's go back to the room too."

"You go up by yourself, and come to the car to find me at 7 o'clock tomorrow morning to go back together."

"What about you?"

"My wife has booked a room, and I will naturally go to her to stay for one night."

Mrs. Lu wanted to get rid of him and care about other men, but she couldn't!

Lu Yan just heard the waiter open a room for Jiang Li, and went directly into the elevator and pressed the floor.

Bai Mengchu wanted to say something, but was frightened by his popsicle face and tried for a long time but didn't dare to open her mouth.

Today, Lu Yan gave up his business trip to accompany her to collect materials because she deliberately created a small car accident to remind him of the kindness she had when she saved his injured arm at the scene of the car accident. That's why he drove himself and accompanied her who was frightened by the car accident to continue collecting materials and looking for inspiration.

If she missed this opportunity, she was not sure when she would be able to get a chance to be alone with him again.

Bai Mengchu wanted to squeeze into the elevator at the moment when the elevator door closed.

She secretly glanced at Lu Yan beside her through the elevator door.

"Brother Yan, my head is so dizzy..."

As she said that, she supported her head and fell into his arms.

Lu Yan's body dodged and moved sideways.

Bai Mengchu fell to the ground unexpectedly, hitting the running elevator heavily, and it stopped working with a "clang" and stuck in the air.
