3 Chapter 3
When Lu Yan heard the name Jiang Chengyi, he got stuck.
Although Tang Jie's personality was stunning, her heart was not rough at all. She immediately noticed it and quickly said, "Don't talk for now, I know what you will say-'This is not simple, it's over if you don't go'."
Lu Yan rolled her eyes secretly, she is worthy of being her bad friend for many years.
She calmly cleared her throat and said another thing: "I can't go tonight. The boss just assigned me a paper, so I have to hurry up and check the information."
Tang Jie said, "Actually, the class reunion is held every year, and it's nothing to be absent once, but you can use this excuse to be perfunctory, but it's definitely not possible tonight. Did you know that Ding Jing actually invited the principal of No. 7 Middle School to attend under the banner of the eighth anniversary of graduation, and even several class teachers of our class were among them. Since last month, Ding Jing took turns to shout in the alumni group, asking everyone to make arrangements in advance and no one is allowed to be absent."
Is there such a thing? Lu Yan's mind was confused.
She added a lot of groups on WeChat, most of which were pulled in without her knowledge, and then she realized that she was too busy, except for those work-related groups, she basically did not overestimate in other groups.
She knew that the group of high school alumni mentioned by Tang Jie was the group leader, and the group was very lively. The news can accumulate to hundreds or thousands of messages in a day. It would be a headache to take a look at it. She didn’t have the time to turn around and flip through the chat records.
"Last week, Teacher Zhou was inquiring about you in the group. I knew you were busy, so I went back for you and said you would definitely go. He was very happy to hear that. He was just recovering from a serious illness, so it was rare to come out with us. He valued you so much when he was studying, so you were embarrassed not to go."
Lu Yan flirted with her messy hair and didn't say anything.
Teacher Zhou was her class teacher in high school. She had thyroid cancer last year and had surgery in the First Affiliated Hospital. She had not graduated yet. For the sake of Teacher Zhou, she specially asked her mentor Yu Bo to do anesthesia personally. After being discharged from the hospital, Teacher Zhou recuperated at home and was basically in a semi-retired state.
In short, teachers and students have not met each other for almost half a year.
She hesitated for a moment, pressed the hands-free button casually, and got up.
Walking to the bathroom, she squeezed out toothpaste and began to brush her teeth in the mirror.
On the phone, Tang Jie continued: "It's not until five o'clock now, and the party is scheduled to be on Jinhai KTV. I'm still on the way back from the airport and I'll enter the city immediately. I've explained the causes and consequences to you. Ding Jing probably came here prepared this time. Have you figured out whether to go or not. If you go, please call me and I'll drive to your house to pick you up later."

An hour later, Lu Yan met Tang Jie and her black suv at the door of the alley.
After going out for more than a month, Tang Jie was tanned a lot, and her body was covered with a honey-colored glow. When she smiled, her white teeth were so dazzling.
"Here, I'll give it to you." Tang Jie handed her a shopping bag from a duty-free shop, which contained a set of skin care products, which happened to be the brand Lu Yan usually uses.
"Thank you for the help of the financial support." Lu Yan took it with a smile and entered the passenger cab. She and Tang Jie had a good relationship so good that they could wear a pair of pants together, and it was common for each other to give gifts.
The two were not only high school classmates, but also college alumni, but she was in the eight-year system at that time, while Tang Jie chose the five-year oral major because of her insufficient scores.
After graduating from undergraduate studies, Tang Jie did not continue to take the postgraduate entrance examination. Instead, she attended a one-year class in a municipal dental hospital and successfully obtained the oral license.
After that, Tang Jie's wealthy father simply registered a private dental hospital under the name of Tang Jie and hired many retired dental professors. Due to proper management, Tang Jie's name has had several branches in his name over the years, and his income has increased rapidly.
When you are free, Tang Jie's greatest pleasure is running around the world.
Lu Yan often sighed that Jia Baoyu's famous theory of "rich and idle people" in Dream of Red Mansions can be used to describe Tang Jie.
The two of them fastened their seat belts, and Tang Jie looked at the watch: "There are twenty minutes left, and it's time."
Lu Yan was not in high spirits, and she nodded. The heating in the car was too big and it was drying on her face. It was a little hot. She took off the honey brown cashmere coat she had on her body.
Tang Jie turned her head and stared at Lu Yan's every move with deep meaning. After learning that her ex-boyfriend had returned to S City, the guy's reaction was a little calmer.
Lu Yan's coat is a black turtleneck sweater. The clothes are very close to each other, and the slim lines on the upper body are perfectly presented. There is no extra decoration on the whole body. There is only a pair of small diamonds on the earlobe, which is dazzlingly lit, reflecting Lu Yan's exquisite face.
"Why are you looking at me so hungry?" Lu Yan noticed that Tang Jie was looking at her, feeling guilty, and deliberately acted alert.
Tang Jie turned the steering wheel and drove the car out of the parking space, changing the topic: "I was thinking, life can still be so glorious without sex, how did you do it."
Lu Yan replied with a mysterious Mona Lisa smile: "Will you have a chance to know if you are single again?"
Tang Jie: "..."
It happened to be the peak hours after get off work, and the road was extremely blocked. Lu Yan talked to Tang Jie, and suddenly remembered Wang Qianqian and quickly took out his cell phone.
I couldn't contact you last night, so there should be news today.
She found Wang Qianqian's name in the address book and dialed it over.
After a brief blank, the phone quickly opened.
She breathed a sigh of relief and waited patiently for Wang Qianqian to answer the phone.
"Do you think we should call Teacher Zhou and the others in advance?" Tang Jie suddenly spoke.
The road conditions are getting more and more complicated, and if they continue to be like this, they will definitely be late.
Lu Yan nodded against the headphones and was about to say, "Wait until I finish this call." Unexpectedly, at this moment, a busy voice came from the microphone.
Before she could react, the phone was suddenly cut off.
She was stunned for a moment, thinking about whether to go back or not, suddenly a WeChat message came in.
The tone was exactly the same as Wang Qianqian usually spoke, followed by an emoji expressing an apology.
***
Jinhai KTV is located on Yaju Road, just across the road from his alma mater No. 7 Middle School. Due to the principle of proximity, I will choose here for class reunions every year.
Lu Yan and the other two were sitting in the car, and you could see the neon lights flashing at the KTV door from a distance. The whole building was a huge three-story glass building, which was magnificent and also had some science fiction colors.
As soon as the car drove in, the security guard ran over and led them to the parking lot behind. After the parking was completed, he opened the door for Lu Yan and Tang Jie thoughtfully. The one-stop service was extremely thoughtful.
It is rumored that the boss behind Jin Hai is a Japanese, and Lu Yan deeply feels that this news will never be groundless.
After passing through the parking lot, the two of them walked around to the front of the KTV building and walked into the building.
There were endless guests at the door, but at first glance, everyone was unfamiliar, and none of them were classmates from No. 7 Middle School.
The two of them knew that although they were rushing to hurry up, they were still a few minutes late. They probably would have to be fined a few glasses of apology after entering.
After entering the elevator, the waiter pressed the button on the third floor.
The elevator has three floors in total, surrounded by circular glass on all sides. When you are in the elevator, you can easily see the parking lot behind.
Just at this time, two cars drove in the parking lot. The speed was very slow, but they were not far apart from each other, and they bit tightly one in front and the other behind.
While talking, the two stared at the outside unconsciously. Unexpectedly, an unexpected scene happened at this moment.
The car in front suddenly stopped as it drove, and then, without warning, hit the car behind.
"I, what's going on?" Tang Jie became excited and stared at the two cars.
Lu Yan was also surprised.
What is even more surprising is that after the collision, the black Land Rover in front not only had no sense of helplessness, but instead made a "bang" sound, and saw a young man wearing a black jacket coming down. While walking, the man took out something from his arms and pointed at the owner of the car behind.
Lu Yan looked at the scene in front of her and was so surprised that she couldn't speak, because she not only noticed that the man's figure looked very familiar, but also after a brief moment of surprise, she quickly recognized that the thing in the man's hand turned out to be a gun.
