Chapter 219 A peerless philanthropist!
what's the situation?
Not to mention Yang Miao, even Fang Li didn't know what was going on.
The car sped along the ring road and eventually ended up on the highway.
Fang Li felt a little panicked, after all, she and Lu Jie were not really close, and their few meetings had always been tense and not pleasant memories.
Now, he's inexplicably gone crazy and said he'd take her somewhere, but he still hasn't told her where.
If it weren't for the threat posed by that photo, Fang Li would have loved to just open the door and jump out of the car.
Even if it's unsafe, it's still better than living in fear and ignorance!
"Young Master Lu, I don't remember offending you in any way, so why are you so determined to hold this against me?"
Fang Li held back for a long time, but finally couldn't help but speak up.
Lu Jie was focused on driving when she suddenly spoke. He paused, then turned his head with amusement: "Why am I holding a grudge against you? Didn't we agree that you were just going somewhere with me? Why are you acting like I'm going to sell you out?"
Is not it?
Any normal person would probably think the same way if treated like this!
Fang Li pursed her lips, too lazy to argue with him about the topic, and simply asked, "So, the place we're going to now isn't in the capital?"
Lu Jie turned around and looked straight ahead. "Yes."
Fang Li was furious: "You didn't tell me in the first place that you were going to another city! Young Master Lu, is it fun to tease me?"
"What kind of trickery is this? I didn't say anything because you didn't ask. I never lie. If you don't believe me, you can ask Wang Chen next time you see him."
Wang Chen, she still thought he was different from Lu Jie.
The ancients were right; birds of a feather flock together in this world. How could someone who can be friends with Lu Jie be a good person? They just have a hypocritical face and are better at pretending than Lu Jie.
ask him?
She might as well deceive herself into believing that Lu Jie is an unparalleled philanthropist!
Since they couldn't see eye to eye, and things had come to this point, she couldn't possibly jump out of the car.
Unable to get anything out of Lu Jie by continuing to argue, Fang Li simply turned her face away, crossed her arms, closed her eyes, and pretended to sleep.
Anyway, he couldn't really take her to sell her. Rather than getting angry talking to him, she might as well sleep and recharge so she could find a chance to escape when she got there.
With this in mind, Fang Li slept more soundly.
Ignoring the occasional glances from the man beside her, her erratic breathing gradually calmed down after a while.
Seeing that the woman was quite angry with him and seemed to have actually fallen asleep, Lu Jie's handsome eyebrows faltered slightly, and then he gently revealed a helpless smile.
He raised an eyebrow, silently turned off the music in the car, then reached out and slightly turned up the car's heater before turning back to driving.
It was almost 9 p.m.
There weren't many cars on the highway, and sleek sports cars sped past in the night.
Fang Li didn't expect that she would actually fall asleep.
She had only intended to close her eyes and doze off for a while, but whether it was because the car was too quiet or because she was carefree, she actually fell asleep.
I slept for more than two hours.
However, she did not sleep very well during those two hours.
My mind was foggy, my consciousness fluctuated between clear and hazy, and I kept having fragmented dreams.
In her dream, she seemed to see Han Xi. He noticed that she wasn't home and was with Lu Jie, staring at her angrily with a stern face.
Fang Li felt a pang of panic. She wanted to explain but couldn't open her mouth. She wanted to go over and hug him, but her feet seemed rooted to the spot and she couldn't move.
In the end, she could only watch helplessly as he retreated step by step with an icy expression, getting further and further away from her.
......!
Fang Li was completely awakened by a start.
When she woke up, her consciousness seemed to be stuck in the dream. Her watery eyes were dazed and blank as she stared fixedly ahead, motionless.
She didn't know how much time had passed, but the fine sweat on her forehead gradually cooled down before she regained her composure and noticed something was amiss.
The car had stopped sometime earlier, and she was the only one inside. The driver's seat was empty, and Lu Jie was nowhere to be seen.
Fang Li's heart stirred slightly, and she immediately prepared to unbuckle her seatbelt and get out of the car.
When she looked down, she found that she was wearing a black casual jacket.
Without a doubt, it must be Lu Jie.
Looking at her coat, Fang Li paused for only a second before lifting it to unbuckle her seatbelt, quickly opening the car door and getting out.
As soon as I got off the bus, a cool evening breeze blew over me.
Fang Li touched her arm and quickly checked her phone, only to find that it was already past 11 p.m.
She actually slept in Lu Jie's car for a full two hours!
Fang Li grabbed a handful of her messy hair in frustration, randomly chose a direction with light, and then unlocked her phone.
As soon as the screen unlocked, countless overlapping messages popped up instantly.
The buzzing lasted for a long time before it finally stopped.
And surprisingly, 90% of these messages were posted by Han Xi.
Around 9 PM, he messaged her asking what she was doing and if she was asleep. By then, she had already fallen asleep in Lu Jie's car.
She had put her phone on silent while in the locked room and forgot to put it back on, which is why she hadn't heard it.
Seeing that she didn't reply, Han Xi called her twice more after half an hour, but she didn't answer. After a while, he sent her a message again.
It must have been Yang Miao or Aunt Rong who lied for her. Han Xi probably thought she was asleep, so he didn't say anything more. He just sent a message saying he would be back as soon as he finished his work, and then said "Goodnight".
Looking at the message the man sent, Fang Li felt both flustered and guilty.
I don't know how Yang Miao managed to conspire with Aunt Rong to lie for her; even though that man was so alert, he didn't notice anything amiss.
Fang Li opened the chat box to reply, but her finger stopped abruptly just as it landed on the key.
It was past 11 p.m., he should have already gone to bed, and he wouldn't see the message anyway. Besides, if he asked her why she was replying to the message at this hour... Fang Li really wasn't confident she could fool that man.
Forget it.
After thinking for a moment, Fang Li still slipped her phone into the pocket of her skirt.
The most important thing right now is to leave here and go back as soon as possible.
Fang Li discovered that this place seemed to be a town, but she didn't know which city it belonged to. However, judging from the timeline, this city should be located around the capital.
This is clearly no longer a highway; the asphalt road is old and not wide, and a dim street lamp shines at intervals along the roadside.
Fang Li saw a large patch of light not far ahead, and she walked straight toward that direction with her arms crossed.
After walking a few hundred meters, the view ahead gradually became clearer.
"Stagehand? Where's the stagehand?! Hurry up and move all of this off, we're moving to the next show!"
"Hey, it's coming!"
"Teacher, look at these clothes, there seems to be something wrong with them."
"Go quickly and find the stylist to fix it; filming is about to start!"
.......
Fang Li slowed her pace, looking at the busy crowd and machines, and gradually frowned.
It's actually a film crew?!
Why would a film crew be shooting here so late?
Is this a coincidence... or...?
"Why didn't you say anything before getting out of the car? It's so late in the middle of nowhere, aren't you afraid of being carried off by wolves?!"
A man's angry voice sounded behind her. Fang Li turned around and saw Lu Jie carrying a plastic bag, striding towards her.
