The assistant had been paying attention to Qiao Anhao the entire time. After she finished reading, he gulped down another mouthful of beer, then said, "Miss Qiao, did you see that? He told me forty-eight paragraphs, and every single one of them was about you. "
Qiao Anhao instinctively clenched her fists on the table. She stared at the assistant in a daze, asking in a low voice, "Where is he?"
As Qiao Anhao asked, a tear rolled down from the corner of her eye, landing heavily on the phone screen.
The assistant acted as though he hadn't heard Qiao Anhao's question, continuing to say, "Actually, he made me swear not to tell you these things."
The tears in Qiao Anhao's eyes rolled even harder. She stared unblinkingly at the assistant, asking again, "Where is Lu Jinnian? Where did he go? "
The assistant continued to say to himself, "Honestly, I've worked for Mr. Lu for so many years, and I've always done whatever he says. I've never disobeyed his requests, but this time, I really can't stand it anymore. Just treat it as me being a busybody. Even if Mr. Lu blames me in the future, I still have to tell you."
All of a sudden, Qiao Anhao screamed at the assistant with a tearful tone, "Let me ask you, where's Lu Jinnian? Where is Lu Jinnian? Where is Lu Jinnian? "
Qiao Anhao shouted three times in a row before stopping. Because her voice was a little loud, it attracted the attention of the people nearby. Thankfully, their seats were a little far from the other seats, so no one could hear what she had yelled.
"I don't know! You're asking me, I want to ask you too, where did Mr. Lu go? " The usually mild-tempered assistant's eyes suddenly reddened, and he suddenly shot back at Qiao Anhao. He picked up the beer bottle on the table and gulped it down. After finishing half the bottle, he slammed it down on the table. He picked up the bottle again, wanting to drink more, but he realized that he had already finished the second bottle. He retracted his hand, leaning back into the chair behind him. He shut his eyes, and after a moment of silence, he opened them again. His emotions had clearly calmed down, and he apologized to Qiao Anhao before standing up. "Let me take you somewhere first."
Qiao Anhao nodded slightly, stood up, and followed behind him.
The assistant brought Qiao Anhao all the way to the top floor of "Lijing Pavilion", then to the innermost room. He pushed open the door, and gestured for Qiao Anhao to enter.
Qiao Anhao entered first, and the assistant followed. He closed the door, then pointed to the balcony outside the floor-to-ceiling windows, saying, "Please".
At this time, it was already dark, and the balcony didn't have any lights on. It was pitch black, and Qiao Anhao could only see the sky full of stars and the lights of the forbidden city in the distance.
After about five seconds, the balcony was suddenly surrounded by rainbow-colored lights, flickering continuously. With the help of the colorful lights, Qiao Anhao could faintly see a European-style dining table on the balcony. In the middle of the table were candles arranged in the shape of a heart, filled with withered Chinese flowers.
The candles had already been burned, and only a small section was left.
On the railings around the balcony, there were a few beautiful flower baskets, the flowers in them had also withered.
Where was this?
Qiao Anhao turned her head in confusion. Just as she was about to ask the assistant, she suddenly stared at the colorful lights in front of her.
