The night wind was blowing, and the remaining warmth of the day had not dissipated, and there was still a little heat on the cheeks.

The Chinese restaurant has an elegant environment, and there are not many customers. The soft and soothing pure music floats in the whole restaurant, which is clean and comfortable.

In the private room of No. 101, the waiter stood at the door and rang the doorbell lightly. After hearing the guest say "come in", he pushed the dining car in.

In the private room, the three of them sat on one side, the dishes on the table did not move, each of them was silent, and the atmosphere was extremely strange.

The waiter finished serving the meal quietly, and felt that the atmosphere was not right, so he asked tremblingly, "Do the three gentlemen need drinks?"

Jin Xingmao smiled at him and said, "Water and tea are fine, thank you."

This meal is not suitable for drinking.

Tea was prepared before the meal was served, and the waiter pushed the dining car out with a low eyebrow and closed the door.

In the afternoon, Ji Ming made an appearance for Jin Xingmao in front of Zhuang Yan. Zhuang Yanyuan wanted to ease the relationship between his younger brother and Jin Xingmao, so he just wanted to take this opportunity to ask Zhuang Qi to apologize to Jin Xingmao, and everyone will talk face to face. open.

There is no knot in this world that cannot be untied.

However, he thought too well.

Zhuang Qiduan sat next to Zhuang Yan, just facing Jin Xingmao, except for giving him an indifferent glance at the moment he entered the door, he never cast his eyes on Jin Xingmao after that.

"I still have half an hour." Zhuang Qi sat upright, and slowly raised his wrist to look at his watch, revealing the sapphire blue diamond cufflinks on the flat and non-pleated cuffs.

"In such a hurry?" Changing from the police uniform and putting on low-key and expensive casual clothes, the righteousness in Zhuang Yan's eyebrows has not diminished at all, and even a little more noble.

In contrast, Jin Xingmao's posture is much more laid-back and lazy. He is not a restrained person by nature. Even though he has been friends with Zhuang Yan for many years, he has not received any edification or influence at all. How comfortable he is.

He propped his chin up, looked at Zhuang Qi with a half-smile, his peachy lips parted slightly: "Brother, half an hour may not be enough to eat."

Zhuang Qi glanced at him calmly and indifferently: "Enough is enough."

"It's hard for me to come back, A Qi, why don't you just spend half an hour dismissing me?"

"Brother, I have finalized the video conference at nine o'clock tonight."

"I'm always busy with work." Understanding his brother's busyness, Zhuang Yan's tone was a little helpless, and he still kept a gentle smile like a spring breeze on his face, making it impossible to say no.

The corners of Zhuang Qi's lips were tightly pursed, and he chose to compromise. How could he not obey when his elder brother, whom he had admired since childhood, spoke up.

"Brother, I know you have something to say, but if it's about Jin Xingmao—" there is no need to add to the latter words, the two people present also know what it means.

Just as Zhuang Yan was about to speak, Jin Xingmao smiled and said, "It's a very simple matter, why do you hate me so much?"

"..." The fingers resting on his legs trembled slightly, Jin Xingmao's expression reminded him of that incident, he couldn't help being dazed, and when he recovered, he found that both of them were looking at him.

After clearing up his erratic mood, he rubbed the strap of his watch for a while, and snorted for a long time: "I thought you knew yourself."

"Is it because of my behavior and personality that you don't like it?" That's probably all I can think of.

"There is still a bit of self-knowledge." He didn't say yes or no, but this was also an indirect acquiescence.

Jin Xingmao didn't believe it, and always felt that Zhuang Qi had something to hide from him, so he casually teased: "You also have friends like me around you, why didn't you see that you didn't deal with them? I just won't deal with them here."

There seemed to be a scheming and seductive fox hiding under the smile.

"Aqi, after all these years, you know what kind of person Xingmao is, so do you have some misunderstanding about him?"

Zhuang Qi subconsciously tightened the watch strap, his expression was extremely condensed, and the bottom of his eyes was indifferent: "It is because I know what kind of person he is that I can see it very clearly."

Just a liar.

"Did I do something to offend you? Why on earth are you so hostile to me?" The cute and well-behaved child when he was young is now ridiculing himself in all kinds of ways.

And from the tone of his voice, it seemed that he had done something bad to him?

Seeing his younger brother looking at Jin Xingmao in disgust, Zhuang Yan couldn't help yelling: "Ah Qi, I have said many times, to be kind to others, to be good when you cut it off, to say what you have. Also, Xing Mao is in your company Injured?"

"Brother, I have nothing to say. The wound on his leg was burned in my company. I'm sorry for that." It didn't look like a sincere apology at all.

Zhuang Yan still wanted to say something with a stern face, the hand under the table touched his thigh, and forcibly endured the lesson welling up in his throat.

Jin Xingmao didn't care about Zhuang Qi's attitude, he came here purely to ask why he hated him, and to find out the symptoms before he could prescribe the right medicine.

However, Zhuang Qi never opened his mouth. Jin Xingmao lost the patience to ask more questions, and suddenly received a call from Lu Qiying after eating a few mouthfuls of food.

She silently scanned Zhuang Qi, and put the vibrating phone in front of him.

"Are you answering? Or call him?" He had already guessed that Lu Qiying would not give up his big assist. Although he blocked WeChat, the phone number hadn't had time to be added to the blacklist.

I didn't expect to contact myself so soon.

"Whose phone number?" Zhuang Yan glanced at the name displayed on the phone screen.

Zhuang Qi picked up the bowl with no expression on his face, it was nothing to do with his own food, and he selectively ignored the vibrating mobile phone in front of him, which couldn't be more obvious.

Zhuang Yan couldn't see that he was pretending to be deaf and dumb, his voice was stained with anger, and that he was his own brother who had been in pain since childhood, so he restrained himself and said, "Speak."

Zhuang Qi put down his chopsticks, took out a wet towel and slowly wiped his fingers, stood up, and said indifferently: "It's not me who called you, and I have no obligation to answer or call back. I'm full, brother, take it easy, I Go back first."

The bell rang halfway, perhaps because there was no one answering, and the phone was hung up.

Once Zhuang Qi left, the meal lost its original meaning.

Zhuang Yan felt sorry for his younger brother's attitude and sent Jin Xingmao home.

No one cared about Lu Qiying's phone call.

The next day, Zhuang Yan received an emergency notice and rushed back to the police station. When he left, Jin Xingmao was sleeping at home. When he woke up, the window was covered with clouds and a strong wind was blowing. After a while, there were bean-sized raindrops patting on the window. rattling.

The mobile phone interface is full of entertainment news and current political events, as well as WeChat messages sent by unknown people.

Jin Xingmao turned on his phone while brushing his teeth in his nightgown.

He was stunned by the message that popped up, and he stopped walking towards the bedroom for a while.

Jiming's video call came at this time, just in time.

"Xingmao, did you see that! Lu Qiying was followed by an illegitimate fan, and that man stabbed Lu Qiying in the abdomen!" Ji Ming honked loudly as usual.

This matter had nothing to do with Jin Xingmao, but the phone call last night pushed him into the limelight.

Jin Xingmao's mouth was full of foam, and he hurried back to the bathroom to rinse his mouth before saying, "I just woke up..."

"Xingmao, you are probably being tricked! Did Lu Qiying call you last night, but you didn't answer?"

"It's true, it's not that I didn't receive it, but I didn't answer it to avoid suspicion. I was having dinner with Zhuang Qi and Zhuang Yan last night." Jin Xingmao confessed directly.

Jiming's tone was a little anxious: "Now the netizens are speculating about your relationship with him and have said a lot of nasty things. I think it's necessary for you to check it out and come forward to clarify."

"Wait a minute, let me see."

Jin Xingmao turned on his computer and logged on to Weibo. The most searched entry was Lu Qiying's injury, followed by the word "explosion" in red and bold.

As soon as the entertainment news came out, the comment area was filled with various voices, those who scolded the illegitimate meal, prayed for Lu Qiying's safety, speculated about the relationship between Lu Qiying and Jin Xingmao, and scolded why Jin Xingmao didn't answer the phone and hurt Lu Qiying innocently.

After reading a small number of unreasonable comments, Jin Xingmao really laughed out of anger.

It's true that he likes handsome guys and fresh meat, but he rarely pays attention to these things. Jiming registered for him on Weibo several years ago on a whim, and only found it last year to vote for Jiming.

Now the whole network is asking Jin Xingmao himself to stand up and respond to what relationship he has with Lu Qiying, and why Lu Qiying contacted him instead of others the first time he encountered danger.

Jin Xingmao also wanted to know why Lu Qiying contacted him instead of Zhuang Qi. It stands to reason that contacting Zhuang Qi would be more beneficial to promote the relationship and feelings between the two?

It is easy to clarify this matter, but if the evidence is not tenable enough, it will still not be able to stop the rumors, and some people will still speculate about the relationship between the two.

"It's not a big problem. I'll just come forward to clarify it. Those who clean up will clean up themselves. If you don't do anything wrong, you won't be afraid of the shadow."

"Did you clarify directly on Weibo?" Hearing what he said, he felt a little relieved, but he was still hanging on.

"Well, it's all for idle time. What can a phone call explain? The imagination is rich but it's useless. Anyway, they believe it or not. My time is precious. Let me clarify this time."

"Okay, I'll forward it when the time comes."

"No, you don't want to get involved. I won't be too lazy to finish other troubles. I just posted a Weibo. I had dinner with Zhuang Qi last night. He also knew about Lu Qiying calling me. Let them forward it over there." Just one click."

"But... well, maybe I'll go out again."

The story of Lu Qiying being followed by an illegitimate fan was not in the original book, and he really didn't know that Lu Qiying called for help. If he knew, he would definitely answer it.

Although Lu Qiying was a book traveler who harmed himself in the original book, but now the plot is changing, this person has not done anything more extreme.

In all fairness, with human life at stake, Jin Xingmao really regretted not answering the phone.

There were two reasons why he didn't answer the phone. One was that he didn't want Zhuang Qi to have unnecessary misunderstandings, and the other was that he didn't want to answer it from the bottom of his heart. For Lu Qiying, he could avoid it as far as he could.

It's not that you just won't win head-on, it's that you don't want to waste your mental energy to go around with him. If you have the time to deal with him, it's better to start a career and fall in love.

Life is too short to have fun.

The current public opinion is nothing more than two: one must be severely punished for having an illegitimate meal, and the second is the relationship between the young master of the Jin family and the popular actor Lu Qiying.

Since the public wanted to watch the play, Jin Xingmao was in a good mood to accompany them to perform, and hit Lu Qiying by the way, to stop him from wanting to use himself.

Zhuang Yan must have been notified of Lu Qiying's stabbing by an illegitimate fan. The occurrence of this incident is related to Lu Qiying's reputation and image. Now everyone's attention is mostly on Lu Qiying's injury. Wait for him to post a blog report After peace, everyone quickly regained their senses, and there will definitely be more doubts.

Jin Xingmao only needs to clarify the relationship with Lu Qiying, and nothing else needs to be done. Anyway, Star Entertainment will let the public relations solve it, so why bother.
