Outright Favoritism - Chapter 9: The day after tomorrow is free
There was a brief silence in the car because of Li Qiao’s words.
As for her question, Shang Yu responded with silence.
Li Qiao yawned lazily and glanced out the window with watery eyes.
What kind of a man is he?!
There were so many labels attached to him, but Li Qiao felt that none of those were him.
At that moment, the cell phone in her pocket rang abruptly.
Li Qiao came back to her senses and saw the caller ID, which reminded her of Tang Yiting, who she had left at the pool hall.
She glanced at Shang Yu and held up the phone to her ear, “What’s wrong?”
Tang Yiting’s chirping voice suddenly resounded throughout the carriage: “Where did you go? There is no one in the finance room. Come back quickly. Everyone is still waiting for you to drink. They won’t go back until you’re drunk tonight.”
Along with her questioning, Li Qiao vaguely heard the sound of a ‘thud’ kicking the door.
How can I put it? It’s just embarrassing.
Because she accidentally touched the speakerphone when she held it to the side of her face.
After a moment of dead silence and stagnation in the quiet compartment, Li Qiao said expressionlessly, “Wrong number.”
Then, hang up and turn off the phone in the process.
Tang Yiting, who kicked in the door to the casino’s finance room, “???”
At this time, Shang Yu closed the folder in his hand, put it on the side of his leg, and said casually: “Are you here with friends?”
Li Qiao stuffed the phone back into her pocket and shook her head in a serious manner, “No, don’t recognize it.”
Shang Yu leaned lazily against the back of the chair, his legs exchanging positions, and when he closed his eyes, he glanced at her from the corner of eye.
The light in the car was very warm, Li Qiao caught his eyes, tilted her head and smiled, her face full of innocence.
……
Ten minutes later, the motorcade stopped outside the door of the Lai family villa.
As Li Qiao was about to get out of the car, the man who was pretending to sleep suddenly spoke hoarsely, “Tomorrow morning Shang Lu will come to the door to apologize for withdrawing from the marriage, he has the responsibility.”
”Let him come the day after tomorrow!” Li Qiao stopped pushing the door and looked at Shang Yu and said.
For such a big matter as breaking off an engagement, the whole family must be in a neat and unified manner to announce it to the public.
It’s too soon tomorrow morning, and it’s not possible for big brother, third brother and mom to make it back.
Hearing this, the man slowly opened his eyes, and his dark eyes were slightly red, revealing unknown fatigue.
Li Qiao didn’t give him a chance to ask. She opened the car door and got out. Before closing the door, she put one hand in her pocket to support the door frame, “Thank you, Mr. Yan, for taking me home. We…see you the day after tomorrow.”
The girl slammed the car door and walked briskly into the house.
In the carriages, the faint scent of the girl’s body seemed to remain.
The driver peeked into the rearview mirror, where the man had been looking in the direction the girl had left for a long time.
Should he drive this car or not?
It wasn’t until a few seconds later that Li Qiao’s figure melted into the night and the driver heard a low, shallow sigh, “Leave the day after tomorrow free.”
The driver’s face was difficult: “Young Master, the Master asked you to return to Parma the day after tomorrow ……”
”Clear it!”
”Yes!”
The driver didn’t dare to say much, but he felt that his master’s sudden change of itinerary definitely had something to do with the girl!
When the second master wanted to break off the engagement, the master told him to resolve it himself, but now he plans to come to the house in person because of the girl’s words?
The luxury convoy drove onto the highway again, and the driver said at the right time: “Young Master Qiu just sent a message, saying that they were meeting in a secret hall.”
”Uh-huh.”
……
The next day, at ten o’clock in the morning, Li Qiao sat in the dining room quietly eating breakfast.
The second brother, Lai Yan, sat across from her, holding his cell phone and scratching it twice from time to time, “Mom arrived home at three o’clock this afternoon, the eldest brother has already gotten off the plane, and the oldest three said they won’t be here until late afternoon.”
After saying that, Li Yan stared at Li Qiao across the table and asked, “Did Shang Lu say when he would come to withdraw his marriage?”
