Since they refused to help him, Lu Yi would naturally not continue to waste time here.
"I still have something to do, you can continue chatting."
His voice was cold, and he walked towards several other groups of people, but they all received the same answer.
"Mr. Lu, it's not that we don't want to help. It's just that the company has a lot of projects recently and we can't allocate our energy to other projects."
After hearing this answer for the sixth time, Lu Yi finally couldn't hold back the smile on his face.
He held the wine glass and stood there with a gloomy expression. People around him had already stayed three feet away from him. Even if they knew that this was the Lu family's home court, no one paid any attention to him.
Song Qiao stood not far away, looking at him like this and feeling much relieved.
"Mr. Gu, you couldn't agree to some cooperation before. I don't know if you have time now. Let's talk in detail."
"Mr. Gu, you can't favor one over the other. We also have a few projects that we want to ask you about."
Gu Jingting was surrounded by people, and even though their expressions were cold, these people persisted in asking questions of their own.
The difference from before was that this time, the man held Song Qiao's wrist tightly to prevent her from being squeezed out by others, and looked at her with concern from time to time.
"Jing Ting, Lu Yi won't do anything else. Can I go out and take a breath?"
Song Qiao felt a little bored when she was surrounded by people.
"No." Gu Jingting pursed his thin lips and said softly, "The man hasn't been found yet. If you go out, I will be worried."
This is the truth.
Even if he had people follow Song Qiao, there would be times when he would be negligent.
It's better to just put people beside you.
"But I'm really uncomfortable." Song Qiao said coquettishly, "Can I just go out for a little while? I'll be back soon. I promise, if you let people follow me, I won't do anything else."
Gu Jingting stared at her for a few seconds, probably because the expression on her face was too pitiful, and finally let her go.
After receiving permission, Song Qiao walked quickly towards the garden.
These people are really not tired. Although this kind of banquet is for socializing, it also needs to give people a chance to breathe.
She pushed open the door to the garden, and the fragrance of orchids blew in the wind. Her mind instantly became clearer. She looked inside through the glass window and met Gu Jingting's sinking gaze, smiling reassuringly.
Afraid that Gu Jingting would worry, she stayed there for a few seconds and then wanted to go back. Before the door could be opened, she heard a heavy fragrance coming from the side.
She frowned slightly and originally didn't want to pay attention, but a painful groan followed closely.
"Miss Song, Mr. Gu has ordered you not to go there."
Seeing that she was planning to go that way, the bodyguards hurriedly came out to stop her. If anything happens to her again, they would lose their job.
"It's okay." Song Qiao waved her hands. She just planned to go over and have a look. There are so many people here, so it's nothing.
Walking around the flower wall in front of her, the scene in front of her stopped her in her tracks.
In the corner, a slender figure was huddled. The white dress on her body was stained with dirt, and even had a few holes torn out, revealing her fair skin. Her hair was messy and fell behind her head. There was a blood stain on her forehead, oozing out.
Bleeding bright red blood.
As if it sensed someone coming, the figure burrowed inside again.
"What are you doing?"
Song Qiao pursed her lips and was about to step forward to pull them away, but was blocked by someone.
"I advise you to stop meddling in other people's business, and don't look at who you are, and get out!" The man raised his eyebrows with contempt in his eyes, "Don't even think about calling others over, otherwise her end will be yours.
.”
Song Qiao's eyes suddenly turned cold.
She didn't know the identities of these people, but judging from their actions, it was obviously not the first time they had done these things.
"Get out of the way!" Her voice was calm, but there was an attractive slight pressure.
"you!"
When two of them were about to take action, the bodyguard behind Song Qiao took the lead, restraining the two of them and kicking them not far away.
The expressions of the remaining people suddenly changed, and when they were about to call someone, one of them recognized Song Qiao's identity.
"Are you the person Gu Jingting brought?" The man's eyes were sharp and the corners of his lips twitched, "They don't know Miss Song's identity. If there is any offense, I hope Miss Song will not argue with us."
Song Qiao didn't respond. He looked at the person on the ground, but found that she had not moved.
"This is a banquet prepared by the Lu family. If something happens to her here, do you think you can escape from it?" Her voice was cold, with a hint of warning.
Those people looked at each other, and the person who spoke earlier looked at Song Qiao, with a hint of anger in his tone, "Miss Song, this matter has nothing to do with you."
"I saw it and took care of it."
Song Qiao raised her eyes with a slow and cold expression, "If you think you can go against Gu Jingting, then you can stay here and not leave."
Seeing her moving out Gu Jingting, those people didn't dare to say anything more.
However--
That fool in the corner, she is lucky this time, he will never let her go so easily next time.
After the people left, Song Qiao cautiously approached the figure in the corner. Before he could speak, the man opened his mouth and bit him. If Song Qiao hadn't sensed something was wrong and retracted his hand quickly, he might have been bitten.
"Miss Song!"
The bodyguard stepped forward in a panic and blocked Song Qiao behind him, fearing what the man might do next.
"I'm fine." Song Qiao came back to her senses, pushed away the people in front of her, and said softly, "She must have been frightened by those people just now. Since she is at this banquet, she must be the daughter of some family. You go back and find out first.
one time."
Hearing this, the bodyguard looked hesitant on his face.
If he leaves now, if something happens to Song Qiao, he won't be able to take care of it at all.
Seeming to understand what he was thinking, Song Qiao simply said, "I'll stay here. If anything happens, I will tell Jing Ting."
Seeing her insistence, the bodyguard had no choice but to leave first.
"Don't worry, I'm not here to hurt you. It's a little cold outside. How about we go back together?" Song Qiao squatted not far from her and talked to her in a low voice. Because of what happened before, he would not risk it again.
Touch her naturally.
"I don't want to go, I want to go find daddy."
A slender female voice sounded, with a bit of trembling. If you didn't listen carefully, you wouldn't know what she said.
The expression on Song Qiao's face was frozen for a moment.
Normal people don't talk like this, so she——
"Then let me take you to find dad, okay? Let's go in first, dad will be back later." Song Qiao coaxed the person, and just when she was about to take the person in, a sharp female voice suddenly came from behind her.
.
"Oh my God, Miss, how did you become like this? Did someone bully you?"
The man squeezed Song Qiao away and directly checked the woman's condition, "Are you injured anywhere?"
"You know her?"
Song Qiao looked at her seriously, and after confirming that the other party was the nanny taking care of her, he continued, "She was surrounded by some people just now, and she might be a little scared. It's best to let the doctor check her when you take her back.
