Trantor: Kingbao Editor: DarkGem
Lu Jinnian apanied the granny for dinner, and after an episode of an old historical drama, the nanny brought her upstairs to shower before sleeping. Only then did he leave.
When Lu Jinnian came out of the elevator, it was already 10 pm.
Once he was out of the apartment, he realized that it had been snowing - there was a thinyer of snow covering the area.
As he walked down the staircase, the snow produced a crunching sound.
When he came to the road, he reached for his car keys and unlocked his car. Just then, he saw a car not far away light up.
When he was about to enter his car, he suddenly heard someone call for him. "Mr Lu."
Lu Jinnian paused. He turned and saw that his assistant was at the other side of the road. He seemed to have been there for some time, ayer of snow covering the top of his hat.
Lu Jinnian stopped moving.
His assistant tookrge steps through the snow. Looking up into his eyes, he asked with agitation, "Mr. Lu, when did youe back? Why didn’t you contact me?"
"What are you doing here?" Lu Jinnian asked instead.
"I’m visiting my wife’s distant rtive who stays in the neighborhood behind. She’s still ying mahjong upstairs, but I came to get cigarettes and ended up spotting you!" the assistant replied honestly, but inside he was thinking of how all his wife’s rtives were in Suzhou... The only reason he was here was because of Miss Qiao’s phone call!
Even though the assistant had been with Lu Jinnian for so many years, this was the first time that he had lied to him. And even though his lie wasn’t exposed, he still felt guilty. Afraid that Lu Jinnian would find some loophole, he hurriedly asked, "Mr. Lu, are you freeter? Want to go for drinks?"
Lu Jinnian didn’t object. He nodded and pointed to his car, heading for the drivers seat.
After working with Lu Jinnian for so many years, even if they hadn’t met for four months, the assistant still couldn’t change his habits. When he realized what his superior meant, he hurriedly rushed in front of him to open the back door. "Mr. Lu, please."
Lu Jinnian was just about to enter the drivers seat, but when he heard his assistant’s words, he paused slightly, then released the door handle, and went to the back seat.
The assistant entered the front seat and started the car. "Mr. Lu, where do you want to go?"
"Anywhere."
The assistant thought for a moment, then suggested, "Golden Luxury?"
Lu Jinnian agreed with a light "Yea."
In the past four months, Jin Bi Hui Huang had been renovated, so it looked much more extravagant andvish than before.
In the private room, the drinks that the assistant had ordered were delivered quickly. After the staff left, he turned and looked over. Lu Jinnian had on a calm expression as he leaned on the sofa, smoking.
The assistant poured two ss of wine and pushed one over to Lu Jinnian. "Mr. Lu, are you intending to leave again?"
Lu Jinnian averted his gaze from the ceiling, straightened, and finished the entire ss. With a nod, he replied, "Leaving."
