After hanging up, Lu Jinnian ignored his assistant's call of "Mr. Lu". He raised his hand and flagged down a taxi. After getting in, he told his assistant, "Go check out and get your things." Then he told the taxi driver, "To the airport."
The assistant, who was standing outside the car, called out anxiously, "Mr. Lu …" However, before he could finish his sentence, the taxi's tail lights flashed, and the car started up and drove into the traffic.
The assistant stomped his feet and scratched his head helplessly. He turned to look at the restaurant behind him, and in the end, pulled out his phone and called director Wang, who had been mysteriously replaced by Lu Jinnian last night. He was supposed to be in Hong Kong for a meeting.
On the way to the airport, Lu Jinnian pulled out his phone and called Qiao Anhao a few times, but she didn't pick up. He sent her a few WeChat messages, but she didn't reply either.
Perhaps it was because of the news that he had just heard, but Lu Jinnian's instincts told him that Qiao Anhao already knew about Xu Jiamu's situation.
She didn't pick up his calls or reply to his messages. Was she hiding in a corner and secretly crying?
At that thought, Lu Jinnian started to feel uneasy. He wished that he could teleport like the characters in fantasy novels so that he could reach Qiao Anhao's side in an instant.
After arriving at the airport, he paid to get off the plane, checked in, went through security, and boarded the plane... Lu Jinnian practically didn't stop to complete this series of procedures in one go.
When the plane took off, he saw the lights of Hong Kong through the window. Only when he heard the news at the dinner table, did his chaotic and angry mood improve a little.
He clearly had her best interests in mind, traveling thousands of miles to Hong Kong to avoid her, but he never imagined that he would hear bad news about her.
He had never wanted to be a hero, but he had always wanted to protect Qiao Anhao from harm.
He knew that perhaps right now, Qiao Anhao didn't even know that Xu Jiamu already had someone else. This was just his guess and worry, but regardless of whether she knew or not, he had to go back.
Because he didn't want her to be alone when she was at her most miserable and most desperate.
So he had to rush to her side, accompany her in her sadness, and cheer her up.
Two hours later, the plane landed smoothly at Beijing International Airport.
It was already late at night and it was raining heavily in Beijing. The moment he got off the plane, he ran straight to the taxi stand. The queue was a little long, so he called Qiao Anhao as he waited. Even when his phone ran out of battery, she didn't pick up.
Lu Jinnian was burning with anxiety. In the end, he left the team and rushed out of the airport in the heavy rain.
Not long after, Lu Jinnian's clothes were drenched. It was about five kilometers from the terminal building to the airport. His back was drenched in sweat, mixing with the rainwater.
When he finally saw a black car, Lu Jinnian waved without hesitation and got in. He gave the driver the address of Mian Xiu Garden.
When the car reached Mian Xiu Garden, Lu Jinnian paid and rushed to Xu Jiamu's villa. His breathing was unstable as he raised his hand to press the doorbell a few times.
Qiao Anxia cried and threw a tantrum for a long time before she finally calmed down. With the help of the Golden Lounge's staff, they dragged her into the car and sent her back to her apartment.
