Madam’s Identities Shocks the Entire City Again

3099 Where’s Lu Zhi? He’s Inside, Right?

“Uh.”

Halfway through his meal, he put down his knife and fork and elegantly wiped his mouth with a tissue. Then, he stared at Jian Jin seriously. “What do you think of my performance this afternoon?”

Jian Jin scratched her nose and coughed dryly. Instead of answering him directly, she asked. “Boss, don’t tell me you want to take the long route to achieve your aim?”

Unexpectedly, Lu Zhi did not deny it. Instead, he was nonchalant. “Can’t I?”

“Ahem!” Jian Jin didn’t expect to be right. “Not really. It’s not that you can’t… But Boss, you gave Father Qiao tea leaves this afternoon… four cans.

Lu Zhi looked at her in confusion. He frowned impatiently. “What’s wrong with four cans? Isn’t the more the better?”

He had wanted to give more, but four cans were already the best he could do since he was restraining himself. Jian Jin did not know what to tell him. “Well, why don’t you think about your gift? Four cans of tea leaves. Doesn’t it read like ‘dead green tea”?”

She had wanted to tell him to keep it to two cans. Firstly, good things came in pairs. Secondly, it was neither too much nor too little. Tather Qiao wouldn’t feel too burdened either.

“I heard that the number 4 is a taboo for the people of Country Z. It’s not very auspicious…”

Lu Zhi tilted his head. He finally realized that he had not made the best choice. He pursed his lips and narrowed his eyes, and his tone was not good. “Why didn’t you say so carlier?”

Jian Jin was speechless.

She was about to explain to him that she did mention it when her cell phone rang.

Jian Jin took it out and looked down. Seeing Qiao Nian’s name on the caller ID, her expression changed slightly and she quickly hung up.

Lu Zhi noticed her subtle reaction. He raised his chin slightly and asked, “Who is it?”

Jian Jin looked back. “Uh, a friend…”

Lu Zhi stared at her tensely as if he could see through her lies. He unhurriedly asked, “Why aren’t you picking up?”

Jian Jin’s scalp went numb.

Qiao had sounded like she was here to denounce her. Ilow was she going to answer? She was just afraid that Qiao would blow her head off!

Jian Jin could only think about it in her heart. She could not think of a suitable excuse for Lu Zhi for now. “It’s not important.”

Then, someone knocked on the door.

Knock knock.

Jian Jin’s heart was at her throat.

Her heart raced, and she did not dare to look into Lu Zhi’s eyes as she ran towards the door in a panic. ‘I’ll go see who it is. It must be a waiter. I told them there’s no need for room service for now,”

She ran so fast that she did not notice Lu Zhi’s tense back and stiff fingers. He had guessed who it was.

Outside.

Qiao Nian was wearing a baseball cap and a hoodie over her head as she stood outside expressionlessly.

waiting for the door to open.

It was as if she was certain the person inside had heard the knocking.

It turned out she was right.

A minute later, Jian Jin hurriedly opened the door. She was anxious and embarra.s.sed upon seeing her. “Qiao, why did you come straight here?”

Qiao Nian waved her cell phone. I called you, but you didn’t pick up.”

‘Because…”

Jian Jin stood rooted to the ground, not knowing what to say.

Qiao Nian did not make things difficult for her and looked inside. “Where’s Lu Zhi? Ile’s inside, right?”
