Chapter 957 Lu Zijin invites Qiao Jing to the banquet
Could it be that she is really the missing young lady from the Zhan family?
Regarding this matter, Qiao Jing had actually doubted it before, but his feeling was not as strong as it was today.
After pondering for a moment, Qiao Jing shook his head again, denying his previous guess.
Because the place where Qiao Hong and Qiao Lin picked her up was too far away from the sea area where the Zhan family's mistress had an accident.
Even if the flow of sea water is strong enough to wash a person from one sea area to another, if this person has been immersed in the water for such a long time, he will definitely die long ago and there is no way he can survive.
Therefore, the previous speculation should be that she was overthinking...
Seeing that she was in a daze, Lu Zi asked suspiciously: "Are you okay?"
After hearing this, Qiao Jing was pulled away from his thoughts.
She shook her head and replied calmly: "It's okay, I just thought of something suddenly."
When Lu Zijin heard her words being so vague, he knew that she didn't want to go into detail.
Out of politeness, Lu Zijin did not continue to ask questions.
He hesitated for a moment and then changed the subject: "Do you have time this weekend?"
Qiao Jing subconsciously thought that Lu Zijin still wanted to discuss the condition with her, so she nodded directly and replied, "Yes."
After hearing that she had time, Lu Zijin continued: "Actually, I want to ask you to accompany me to a banquet. This banquet requires a female companion."
As soon as these words came out, Qiao Jing felt a little strange.
She looked at Lu Zijin in confusion, "How can someone like you be in need of a female companion?"
Based on Lu Zijin's conditions, she believed that as long as Lu Zijin was willing, there would be a lot of women vying to be his female companion.
If nothing else, that Sun Mingzhu is definitely eager to do it!
So, why should Lu Zijin ask her for help?
Lu Zijin also told the truth and said bluntly, "There is no shortage, but there is no shortage. My mother also mentioned that she would make arrangements for me, but in the final analysis, this arrangement is just for me to go on a blind date, so..."
Lu Zijin did not continue talking about the rest.
But even if he didn't say it, Qiao Jing already understood it.
Lu Zijin asked her to be his female companion, but his real purpose was to hope that she could help act as a shield to block some bad romances!
After understanding the reason, Qiao Jing did not shirk and simply agreed, "Okay, I'll help you with this."
Seeing that she agreed, Lu Zijin was very happy, and the gentle smile on his face instantly became a little more obvious, "Thank you so much!"
"Don't be so polite, friends help each other."
After saying this, Qiao Jing picked up the coffee on the table and took a few sips.
When she put down her coffee, her phone suddenly rang.
She took out her cell phone and looked at it, and found that it was the old man of the Zhan family calling. Qiao Jing casually picked up the call.
As soon as the call was connected, Zhan Yuanshan's rich voice came from the mobile phone, "Dear girl, where are you now? I'm feeling a little unwell. Come over to Ziyuan and help me see if my condition is normal again.
aggregated!"
Qiao Jing was full of energy when she heard what he said, and she could feel that her mental state was quite good. She immediately understood that this old man was up to his old tricks again.
She found it a bit funny and replied tactfully: "Grandpa Zhan, I have something else to do here, I'm afraid I'll have to go later."
Zhan Yuanshan could naturally tell that she was trying to evade, and immediately said in a hoarse voice, "Girl, what is more important than my life and death, old man?"
"I'm really not feeling well this time. If you don't come again, I'm afraid I won't be able to hold on anymore...cough cough cough cough cough..."
As he said this, Zhan Yuanshan suddenly began to cough violently, as if Qiao Jing would die on the spot if he didn't pass immediately.
Qiao Jing felt helpless about the old man's routine, but finally compromised, "Okay, I'll go over now."
After all, the old man is really sick. Although he is pretending now, if he doesn't get the old man's wish, he will really be sick. So if you can follow him, of course you should follow him as much as possible.
Hearing her saying that she was coming, Zhan Yuanshan stopped coughing instantly and said cheerfully: "Girl, come quickly, I'll be waiting for you."
"Okay." Qiao Jing responded and hung up the phone.
After putting away her phone, she stood up from her seat and said to Lu Zijin, "Sorry, it seems I have to take a step first."
Lu Zijin immediately stood up and said, "I'll see you off."
"No need, don't you still have things to deal with at the hospital? You go and do your work, I can just take a taxi myself."
After saying this, Qiao Jing waved to Lu Zijin and left.
After coming out of the coffee shop, she hailed a taxi on the side of the road and headed to the Purple Garden.
Ten minutes later, the car stopped at the gate of Ziyuan.
Qiao Jin got out of the car and walked towards the house.
In the hall, as soon as Zhan Yuanshan saw her coming in, he immediately waved to her and said with a bright smile, "Come on, little girl, come here quickly, I have something to tell you."
Although he had guessed that the old man was faking it, Qiao Jing still felt angry and funny when he saw with his own eyes that he looked completely different from the one he had just talked on the phone with.
She walked over and looked at the old man helplessly, "Grandpa Zhan, you don't look like you're uncomfortable?"
"You also said that you agreed to come over. I was so happy that I stopped coughing immediately and felt much better."
Zhan Yuanshan's face turned red and his heart stopped beating: "So, little girl, if you have nothing to do in the future, come and see me more often. Maybe my disease will be cured without treatment!"
After hearing this, Qiao Jing didn't know what to say for a moment.
I have to say that the old man’s reaction and eloquence are really beyond the reach of ordinary people!!
Zhan Yuanshan didn't mind whether she responded or not, and continued: "Girl, I actually have something serious to see you for. There is no banquet this week, and Qi Pei still lacks a female companion. I want you to go with him."
, I have asked someone to prepare the dress and shoes for you, just come over when the time comes."
Weekend? Party? Female companion?
Hearing these familiar words, Qiao Jing was silent for a moment.
If her guess was correct, the banquet that the old man was talking about should be the same one that Lu Zijin was talking about just now.
At this time, Zhan Nanjing came out of the room and happened to hear Zhan Yuanshan's words.
She said disapprovingly: "Grandpa, is it not good for you to make a decision in private like this? If my brother knew about it, he would definitely not agree. I think you should not get involved in this matter casually."
Zhan Yuanshan snorted disapprovingly, "He is my grandson. What's wrong with me, the grandfather, helping him make decisions? Can I still harm him?"
"Grandpa, it's not like you don't know my brother's temper. Unless he is willing, there's no point in trying to force him..."
Before Zhan Nanjing could finish his words of persuasion, he was forcefully interrupted by Zhan Yuanshan.
"He has to agree to this matter even if he agrees to it, and he has to agree to it if he doesn't agree to it!"
The old man's tone was indifferent, which showed that his attitude was very firm.
