He came late, so most of them had already finished eating.
Only Liang Kang was still fighting with Xiao Bao and Liang Long.
“Mr. Mingjue, you’re here?” Liang Kang patted his shoulder affectionately. “Take a look at what you want to eat. If there’s nothing you like, ask the chef to give you special treatment.”
“No thanks. I’ll just eat whatever I want.” Lu Mingjue sat down and looked around.
“Are you looking for your girlfriend? She just came for two bites and left. I think she received a call to go back to the city. Let me tell you, I didn’t steal your woman, but I don’t know if others did.”
“Can you cut it out?” Lu Mingjue looked at him speechlessly.
“Okay, I won’t say anymore. Anyway, I still have to say that I like Qiao Weiyang.”
Lu Mingjue choked on a mouthful of fish soup. Liang Kang asked in shock, “Did you get a fish bone stuck in your throat?”
“…No, I just want to say that if you like Jin Lan, you’d still have a chance. But if the person you like is Qiao Weiyang, you’re destined to be single for the rest of your life.”
“What?” Liang Kang asked. “Is it because the person she likes is much better than me?”
“Just better? You flatter yourself. He’s a hundred times better than you.”
Liang Kang didn’t care. “Tsk, you’re exaggerating. Haven’t you heard that as long as you swing the hoe well, there’s no corner that can’t be broken down?” He was full of himself.
Lu Mingjue lost his appet.i.te. He walked out to take a breather and saw Jin Lan talking to a driver from the production team.
The driver did not seem to agree with what she said. It seemed Jin Lan was asking him for a favor.
“Please, Mister. I can give you money.”
“It’s not a matter of money. The mountain road is really difficult to drive on. You want to leave at night and come back tomorrow morning. With that kind of speed, our lives will be at stake! How fast do I have to drive to make this trip possible? Even if you give me a few thousand yuan, I wouldn’t dare to risk my life. Besides, it’s drizzling. This road is really too complicated.”
“What if I give you 10,000?” Jin Lan gritted her teeth and asked.
The driver was obviously tempted. 10,000 yuan was indeed a very attractive amount.
“Why don’t you give me 10,000 yuan?” Lu Mingjue’s voice sounded.
The driver also knew that he was Jin Lan’s boyfriend. He also knew that he could not earn this money anymore. He slapped his forehead and said, “Jin Lan, you can rely on your boyfriend! Why are you asking me? You can just go ahead with him.”
“Hey, Mister…” Seeing that he was about to leave, Jin Lan hurriedly stopped him.
“What on earth happened?” Lu Mingjue asked.
For a moment, Jin Lan did not know if she should say anything.
“If you don’t want to talk, I’m leaving.” Lu Mingjue turned around and was about to leave.
“Will you really help me if I tell you?”
“Tell me.” Lu Mingjue turned around and stopped.
“I have something important to do and have to go back to the city. I really can’t delay it, but I can’t call a taxi at this time. Also, I have to film tomorrow morning, and I need to come back here before seven tomorrow. Basically, I need to drive all day and all night.”
“You’re crazy. Don’t you remember that you haven’t slept for a day and a night?”
“But I have no choice. This matter is very important. I have to go over personally.”
Lu Mingjue waved the car keys in his hand. “Follow me.”
“Mr. Lu, are you willing to lend me your car?” Jin Lan was overjoyed.
“Get in the car!”
Jin Lan had no choice but to get into the car first.
Lu Mingjue also got into the car and quickly started it.
“You’ll send me back?” Jin Lan was a little surprised. It was really not easy to drive on the mountain road on this day. Moreover, she had to rush back before tomorrow morning.
Lu Mingjue touched the steering wheel. “My car is expensive. I’m worried about letting others drive it.”
Jin Lan pursed her lips slightly. “Thank you.”
Lu Mingjue started driving and did not say anything else.
He wasn’t slow as he had already calculated the time it would take to go back and forth.
Jin Lan was also very nervous. Clearly, the other party was deliberately giving her a short deadline so that she wouldn’t be able to handle this matter well.
However, she had no choice. No matter how tight the time was, she could only give it a try.
The car was moving very fast. Even though the windows were closed, the reflection proved that they were going very fast.
She subconsciously gripped the armrest, worried about what was about to happen.
“You don’t believe in my driving skills?” Lu Mingjue glanced at her tightly clenched hands.
“No, I’m just worried about my next job,” Jin Lan said seriously.
“You’re going to have to face it anyway. You might as well relax. You’re making me nervous when I’m driving.”
Jin Lan slowly let go of the armrest and loosened her fingers. “I’m sorry.” “If you’re really nervous, close your eyes and sleep for a while. It’s useless to waste time.”
Hearing his words, Jin Lan really closed her eyes.
She had not slept for a long time. Once her consciousness relaxed, fatigue quickly invaded her. She was not even prepared to sleep before she fell into a groggy mess.
All of a sudden, she heard Lu Mingjue’s voice. “Jin Lan, wake up!”
Jin Lan woke up with a start and quickly regained her consciousness. She saw the traffic and neon lights around her and knew that they had returned to the city.
She suddenly realized that she had not told Lu Mingjue her exact address at all. She immediately looked at the time.
She realized that there were only ten minutes left until her matter.
“Where are we? Can we still rush to the Grand Hyatt Hotel?” she asked anxiously, a layer of sweat instantly appearing on her forehead.
“Look ahead.” Lu Mingjue gestured with his chin.
The words ‘Grand Hyatt Hotel’ appeared in her line of sight.
She was overjoyed. Before she could say anything to Lu Mingjue, she immediately got out of the car and ran over.
Lu Mingjue looked at her figure and waited with his chin in his hand.
Jin Lan walked in and was welcomed by someone. “Miss Jin.”
She clenched her fists and followed him.
She heard the person who picked her up say into the walkie-talkie in a low voice, “The car outside belongs to Lu Mingjue.”
A chill ran down her spine. She stood up straight and walked in with her head held high.
It was drizzling outside, blurring the windows of the car. One could no longer look out into the distance.
Lu Mingjue sat in the car and didn’t think or do anything. He just listened to the rain.
In less than half an hour, there was a knock on the car window.
He unlocked the car door, and Jin Lan got in. There were some water droplets in her hair, and her face was br.i.m.m.i.n.g with a smile. It was as if flowers had bloomed under the rain.
She was holding a file in her hand. She hugged it tightly to her chest and covered it with her thin coat as if it were more important than she was.
“Thank you, Mr. Lu,” she said with a smile.
She suddenly remembered that she had not told him the address just now, yet Lu Mingjue had accurately sent her here.
Obviously, he knew that she wanted to come here, and there was a high chance that he knew why she was here..
