Jian Zhiyan was curled up on the sofa, staring at the numbers on her phone through the pillow, as if her soul had left her body.
【Miss Jane? Are you online?】
At this time, she realized that Liu Chenfeng had been waiting for her for a long time. Jian Zhiyan quickly made a decision, changed the last digit of the ID number from 6 to 9, and then clicked send.
Liu Chenfeng quickly responded with an OK gesture.
[It seems that there is a mistake in the information. I will rebook your flight ticket immediately. 】
Jian Zhiyan didn't know what was wrong with the system and why her flight reservation was not successful in the first place, but what was certain was that it was impossible to book a ticket with the ID number she gave her later.
After replying to Liu Chenfeng, Jian Zhiyan deliberately set her phone offline. She swore that she did not deliberately embarrass Liu Chenfeng, but for Bai Chengqi.
She couldn't let Lu Yin find out that she favored him for Bai Chengqi. After all, the two million support fund had not been distributed yet, and Jian Zhiyan didn't want to create any complications.
I spent the night with a little trepidation, woke up early and my phone went online, and crackling messages and missed call reminders came in.
I called an unknown number four times and Lu Yin once, all of which happened last night.
Jian Zhiyan bit the bullet and opened WeChat, all of which were messages from Liu Chenfeng.
[Ms. Jian, there seems to be something wrong with your ID number.]
【Ms. Jane, can you answer the phone?】
【Miss Jane? Are you asleep?】
Jian Zhiyan looked at the time. It was now five o'clock in the morning, and there were still two hours before boarding the plane. She didn't want to delay Lu Yin, so she decided to make a call.
But before that, she sent Liu Chenfeng a reply: [Sorry, I fell asleep. Is there still a problem with the ticket? 】
Not knowing what Liu Chenfeng's schedule was, he called directly.
"Miss Jian, you are online now! The ID number you gave me keeps showing an error message. I wonder if it was written incorrectly again, and the flight ticket has not been booked for you. Look at this..."
"I'll book it myself," Jian Zhiyan said at the right time. "When I came here, I booked the ticket and it went smoothly. I'll book a ticket back soon. Mr. Lu's side... I won't go with him.
.”
Liu Chenfeng was obviously taken aback, "Mr. Lu changed his visa temporarily and flew back to Beijing last night."
…
Jian Zhiyan woke up at five o'clock in the morning, tidied up, had breakfast, and put on a fake makeup look. It was only seven o'clock, and she was sitting in Lanshan Cafe more than an hour earlier than the agreed time.
She chose a seat facing the street on the second floor, sat down and ordered an iced Americano.
The boring wait reminded her of the phone call two hours ago for no reason -
Lu Yin flew back to Beishi last night.
This news greatly exceeded Jian Zhiyan's expectations. She didn't know whether she had exposed herself or if Lu Yin really had to leave first.
After listening to Liu Chenfeng's description, from ordering the change of ticket to decisively boarding the plane, Jian Zhiyan immediately had a sense of the scene with that cold figure.
Lu Yin is not someone who is easy to fool. Even if the two of them slept together and had a pleasant sleep, once they got out of bed, their relationship would just go their separate ways, or in other words, there would be no relationship.
Shangri-La, just by its name, is like a midnight movie that ends at dawn. No matter how exciting it is, it has nothing to do with real life.
She and Lu Yin may have reached this point.
Jian Zhiyan took a sip of iced coffee to inject a sense of clarity into her body.
After coming for a while, she looked at her watch. It was almost nine o'clock. When she looked up again, she saw a dazzling man and woman on the roadside. The man was handsome and handsome, and the woman was delicate and sweet. They were holding hands and talking about something.
They came from a distance and stood at the door of the cafe. Bai Chengqi smiled brightly and helped Cheng Lusi gather her scarf.
The two parted reluctantly, and a minute later, Bai Chengqi appeared in front of Jian Zhiyan with a cup of black tea.
"I didn't receive your email reply, so I thought you had left."
Bai Chengqi sat down with a smile. He was still the same as before, he loved to smile and was warm. What was different from before was that he had become someone else's husband.
"You've cut your hair." Jian Zhiyan looked at him and subconsciously scanned the ring on the man's ring finger.
"Well, Ruth helped me design it. She said that long hair looks dull, and when meeting people formally, it will make you look down and out."
Jian Zhiyan smiled lightly: "Senior sister is right, you should listen to her more."
Bai Chengqi raised his eyebrows and nodded. When he talked about Cheng Lusi, his eyes were full of light.
"Actually, I've been in some trouble recently. If Ruth hadn't introduced me to a fund from the Ministry of Culture and Tourism through connections, my small theater might have been closed now."
"Really?" Jian Zhiyan rubbed the rim of the cup and asked quietly: "Now, is your trouble solved?"
Bai Chengqi: "That fund has nationality restrictions on the recipients. As you know, I am not a Chinese citizen. Now I am stuck here and the money cannot be transferred. Luce thought of a way so that the procedures can continue.
"
"What can I do?" This is what Jian Zhiyan has always wondered, "Do you really want to change your nationality?"
After saying that, she was shocked to realize that she seemed to have let something slip, but Bai Chengqi didn't mean it, and then smiled.
"It's not so easy to change nationality. It won't be possible to do it even after a year and a half. Besides, I left with my parents very early. I have no relatives in the country, so how can I settle down? So, Ruth proposed to get married."
Jian Zhiyan understood immediately.
Why did Bai Chengqi suddenly get married? It turned out to be all because of the money. Upon closer inspection, it was Jian Zhiyan who inadvertently contributed to Bai Chengqi's marriage.
The cause and effect in the world was so ridiculous that Jian Zhiyan suddenly felt powerless. She didn't know how to face this matter.
With a weak smile, she could only say, "Congratulations to you, you are out of trouble in your career and have a good harvest in love."
Bai Chengqi was unaware, smiling and waving his hands.
"I can only say that we just let nature take its course. Ruth and I have been in love for exactly one year. The time is long or short. I haven't thought about it at first, but because of the support fund..."
Bai Chengqi suddenly became emotional, "When I was in the most difficult time, it was Ruth who stayed by my side and encouraged me. This is a rare true love."
"I feel very lucky to marry her."
Jian Zhiyan couldn't stand listening anymore, and quickly stirred the coffee liquid, "You came to me to feed me dog food?"
"Zhiyan," Bai Chengqi called her name patiently, "you also hope you have a happy life."
Jian Zhiyan folded his arms and made a "spare me" expression.
"If you say anything again, I'll leave." She threatened.
Bai Chengqi was a little helpless, but he couldn't help but say it.
"Zhiyan, even though I'm married, I still want to tell you that you are the best girl I have ever seen—"
Jian Zhiyan stood up, turned around and walked out.
Bai Chengqi has always been unable to do anything to her, "I'm not worthy of you!"
