Chapter 157 Your wife doesn't want you anymore?
"Okay, then I won't bother you any longer, baby. Welcome to our company in advance! And babe, you're so beautiful! In Chinese terms, you're like a fairy descended from heaven!"
"Thank you." Jiang Qin was amused by the girl's warm and lovely words. "You are very beautiful too. I wish you a pleasant trip in Kyoto. I look forward to seeing you again."
"Can't wait! Hey, my boyfriend texted me, he's almost here." Aurora glanced at her phone, then looked back at Jiang Qin. "Baby, don't worry about my safety. Go home now, bye-bye, see you later!"
Jiang Qin looked around; she and Aurora were currently at a long-established restaurant.
At this time of day, more and more people are coming to dine in the restaurant.
Although it's not unusual to see foreigners in Kyoto, an international metropolis, Aurora is exceptionally beautiful. Even among foreign beauties, she stands out as a dazzling presence, attracting the attention of many men.
Those looks made me very uncomfortable.
Jiang Qin was a little worried, so she gave her some more instructions, "Okay, then don't wander around here. Wait for your boyfriend to come. If you need any help, you can contact me. I'll reply as soon as I see your message."
"Also, the emergency number in our country is 110."
"Okay! Thank you, baby! I'll remember that!" Aurora smiled sweetly at Jiang Qin.
It's hard for Jiang Qin not to be in a good mood when she sees such a beautiful face, especially since she felt an instant connection with him from the moment they met.
"You're welcome."
The two waved goodbye, and Jiang Qin got back into the car, carrying two boxes of the restaurant's signature dishes that had been packed away.
Jiang Qin fastened her seatbelt and spoke. The bodyguard immediately responded and drove the car away.
Jiang Qin placed the takeout containers on the table, lowered the partition slightly, and asked, "Did any of you get out of the car just now?"
The two bodyguards in front responded succinctly, "No, Second Young Madam."
They all said in unison, "Second Young Madam, we didn't see anything. Don't worry, we won't reveal your whereabouts to the Second Young Master. As for the Old Madam, we won't say a word unless she asks."
Being selected by the old lady for elite training in the security team, one must have mastered the four words "judging the situation and assessing the circumstances" by heart.
Jiang Qin knew that neither of them was lying; after all, the more one said, the more mistakes one made.
Even if the masters make a mistake, the punishment is lenient. But bodyguards, especially those specially trained by the old lady at her expense, are her sword and shield—it sounds harsh and objectifies people, but that's the truth.
Even the biggest mistake a master makes is considered small.
But if the knife and shield are too talkative, it can cause conflict between their masters. Even the smallest mistake can become a big one.
"Okay, then that's fine." Jiang Qin didn't want to make things difficult for the two of them, and that was enough.
After all, while the old lady cared about her, she wouldn't go so far as to ask the bodyguards of the security team about her whereabouts every day.
Secondly, even if today was unfortunate enough that the old lady asked, the restaurant was noisy just now, and the two bodyguards didn't go in but stayed in the car.
Therefore, even if the hotel had surveillance cameras, her conversation with Aurora shouldn't have been so clearly transmitted to the two bodyguards from a distance.
Jiang Qin's determination to leave this place is unwavering and has never changed.
Therefore, we proceed cautiously step by step, and we are happy to do so.
Jiang Qin hadn't expected that the navigation system could check route details—
When Jiang Qin opened her phone again, she saw many messages from Wang Ma, but upon closer inspection, she knew they weren't from Wang Ma herself.
It was Horstley.
[Jiang Qin, where are you? I'm almost there, and you're still not here?]
Traffic jam?
【image】
Everything's green, so lush and green, is there a traffic jam?
Jiang Qin: "..."
He's so annoying.
Fortunately, though.
Jiang Qin's gaze fell on the two boxes of packaged signature dishes.
Jiang Qin opened the camera app built into WeChat and took a picture of the dishes.
I suddenly had a craving for Wang Ji's signature dish, so I came here.
[I packed it up, shall we eat it together later?]
Meanwhile, inside the black Cullinan, Horstley abruptly stopped typing his question.
Wang Ji.
In the eight years he can remember, he rarely had the opportunity to eat out at restaurants.
A year ago, when they were deeply in love, he couldn't cook. He always felt that eating at home every day was boring and lacked fun. Afraid that she would find it annoying, he asked He Xu to find out which restaurants in Kyoto were good.
High-end or mass-market, it doesn't matter, as long as it's hygienic and tastes good.
Wang Ji was one of them; he had taken her to eat there before.
Because it's a well-known, long-established restaurant, the owner values integrity, so private rooms are quite difficult to book. Even the most prestigious people will be seated towards the back of the table.
I long-pressed the delete button and carefully typed out a long message in the chat box, then deleted it all.
【Um】
On the other end, Jiang Qin saw the chat bubble move up and show an "Mm".
Her cool and beautiful face was expressionless as she turned off her phone.
It was only when I closed my eyes that I suddenly remembered.
Oh, Wang Ji, he took her there before.
However, she had almost forgotten that going to that restaurant earlier was completely unintentional.
When Aurora asked her which restaurants nearby were good and lively, she instinctively said, "Wang Ji."
Jiang Qin looked away, took a deep breath, opened her phone, and continued searching for the things she had already searched for many times: things to pay attention to when drafting a divorce agreement.
Meanwhile, Huo Sili, who had just ended his conversation with Jiang Qin, suddenly frowned slightly, as if he had thought of something.
At the Huo family's old residence, the elderly Mrs. Qiu Huilan received a phone call from her grandson and spoke with curiosity.
"What's wrong, you brat? Your wife doesn't want you anymore? It's no use complaining to Grandma. No, wait, are you here to complain? You should treat your own wife well..." she coaxed.
Before she could finish speaking, she was interrupted, "Grandma, please ask your people who Qinqin met after get off work."
"What?" Qiu Huilan frowned. "What do you mean?"
A few minutes later, Huo Sili received a message from Wu Jie, the old lady's personal maid, and his furrowed brows relaxed.
She wasn't lying; she went to Wang's store herself, not through her bodyguard. But... she met a foreign woman?
As Li Zhiyuan's words echoed in his ears, Huo Sili's eyes darkened.
