Chapter 434: Chapter 434: Drink a Toast
Fu Chenlie glanced at the corner: "Is it these?"
Wen Ran looked over, catching sight of the bag with the restaurant logo placed on the ground, and frowned slightly: "Did you put it on the floor?"
He responded with an "um": "When I was about to knock on the door, I saw the delivery guy. I said it was my order and took it."
She muttered: "That delivery guy is really easy to trust others; aren’t they afraid you’re someone who steals deliveries?"
"Maybe someone who looks like me doesn’t seem capable of doing such sneaky things."
"You’re so narcissistic."
The man chuckled softly, patting her head: "Shall we go home? I had Aunt Wu heat up the food, so we’ll be just in time to eat. This delivery doesn’t look very healthy; we might as well throw it away."
"It’s such a waste to throw it away. Let’s bring it home and eat it together."
"As you like."
Seeing how obedient he was, Wen Ran felt very satisfied.
She turned her head and glanced at the living room behind her.
Almost an hour had passed, and Jiang Yan still hadn’t returned.
Wen Ran turned back to meet his gaze: "I’ll call Ah Yan first, wait a moment."
He nodded.
She returned to the living room and picked up the phone to call Jiang Yan.
Fu Chenlie waited by the doorway.
After Wen Ran dialed, the phone rang on the other side, but no one answered.
She dialed three times but couldn’t get through.
A bad feeling crept up from the bottom of her heart.
Wen Ran remembered how Ah Yan had initially said she’d be back soon, then ended up saying she’d be late because of overtime.
Normally, Ah Yan would reply instantly, but now she wasn’t even answering her phone. Could something have happened?!
She walked over to the doorway, looked at Fu Chenlie, and asked: "You said earlier that Mr. Lu mentioned Ah Yan went with him to a social event. Do you know what kind of event it is?"
He replied honestly: "I don’t know, what’s wrong?"
Wen Ran said anxiously: "I just tried calling Ah Yan, but I couldn’t get through. Can you ask Mr. Lu where they’re having the event? Mr. Lu has always been displeased with Ah Yan marrying him, and I’m afraid he might do something against her."
She initially thought Fu Chenlie and Lu Jinglun were friends, so he wouldn’t easily intervene in matters between Jiang Yan and Lu Jinglun.
Unexpectedly, as soon as she finished speaking, he immediately replied with a decisive "Okay."
The man quickly took out his phone from the pocket of his slacks and dialed Lu Jinglun’s number.
It was picked up fairly quickly on the other side: "Have you found the Little White Rabbit?"
Fu Chenlie looked at Wen Ran, and instead of answering, he asked: "Where are you?"
"At Tongque Building for a social event, why?"
"Which room? I’ll come over and have a few drinks with you."
Lu Jinglun chuckled: "Alright."
After saying that, he gave a room number.
After hanging up, Fu Chenlie looked at Wen Ran: "I’ll take you over there now. They’re at Tongque Building, and Jinglun has already given me the room number. Ms. Jiang is his secretary, so she should be with him."
"Okay, let’s go then."
"Mm."
On the way, Wen Ran kept dialing Jiang Yan’s number again and again.
...
Tongque Building, Room 309.
Jiang Yan was repeatedly being pressured to drink by President Huang for various reasons. Lu Jinglun was determined to make things difficult for her and didn’t stop it at all.
She lost count of how many glasses she had drunk when she heard her phone ringing in her bag.
Jiang Yan turned around to get her phone from behind the seat, but Lu Jinglun suddenly snatched it away. He glanced at her indifferently: "Keep drinking. Make President Huang happy today, and then you’ll get the contract."
"I’ll just take a call; it won’t affect the business talk."
"It’s not too late to answer the phone after the contract is signed."
Her eyes filled with redness, and she glared at Lu Jinglun with hatred, the situation reaching a stalemate.
Taking the opportunity, President Huang got up from his seat, holding a wine glass, and walked over to Jiang Yan with a mischievous grin: "Secretary Jiang, let’s try something new and have an arm-in-arm drink. How about it?"
