The time of the city

Chapter 256 Business trip

Seeing that Bai Jinwei was getting more and more excited, Ji Lin reached out and tugged at the corner of his clothes, and Bai Jinwei stopped.

There was silence on the other end of the phone for a long time. Ni Jiamu grabbed the quilt with his hands, clenched and unclenched them several times, and then he sat up straight and wanted to take the phone.

Mo Yu's voice came: "I'm sorry, I didn't know. I won't do this again in the future. You guys continue with your work, I'm hanging up first."

Bai Jinwei looked at Ni Jiamu's red eyes and put the phone back in its place: "Sorry, Jiamu, I spoke too harshly just now."

Ni Jiamu shook his head, his voice hoarse: "It will only get more cruel later."

Ji Lin placed a pillow behind Ni Jiamu's head and asked, "Why choose Qiao Feng? Isn't Xiao Hecheng better?"

Ni Jiamu looked out the window with a gloomy expression. "I've read Xiao Hecheng's medical report. He has serious physical injuries. I don't want Xiaoyu to worry about him all day after being with him. Qiao Feng is rich and smart. He and Xiaoyu have known each other since childhood. As long as he recovers his memory, his love for Xiaoyu will not be less than mine. After I die, I will hand over the Ni family business to him. I hope Xiaoyu can marry a healthy, loving and protective man."

Bai Jinwei asked, "What if Qiao Feng can't recover his memory?"

Ni Jiamu smiled and said, "He can do it. I believe him."

Bai Jinwei nodded: "Okay, I've already started taking action on Wu Kang. He's been hanging out in the casino all day these days. If he gets addicted to drugs again, I'll call the police as soon as he returns to China."

Ni Jiamu thought for a moment and said slowly: "No rush, let's see if He Qingqing can deal with him first."

At five in the morning, the streets outside the casino were like paper soaked in the darkness, thick and indissoluble. The casino's neon lights shimmered in the mist, casting Wu Kang's figure askew.

He stumbled, his breath of alcohol mingled with curses, and he spat fiercely at the casino door: "Mad, my luck has been terrible all night, and that bitch He Qingqing even stopped her card. When I get back, I'm going to deal with her!"

"Brother Kang, Brother Kang!"

Wu Kang turned around and saw three men emerging from the darkness like ghosts.

He waved his hands impatiently: "Get away! Ever since I listened to you and came to this damn casino, I haven't won a single time!"

One of them, with a fawning face, approached like a pug and said, "Brother Kang, you have such high standards. This little money is nothing but a drop in the bucket in your eyes. Once you take over the Qiao family, you will have the final say on the wealth."

The man's words resonated deeply with Wu Kang. He shook off his coat, which had been worn for days and still smelled sour, and rubbed his greasy hair with a smug smile. "You've got good sense, boy!"

The other two also gathered around, with lewd smiles on their faces, gesturing in the air: "Brother Kang, we know you're upset about losing money, so we've already booked a private room and found some foreign girls. Their figures are amazing!"

Wu Kang's eyes lit up, and he licked his cracked lips: "I haven't tasted a foreign girl yet, let's go!"

The three men smiled at each other and surrounded Wu Kang as they walked towards the box.

Inside the private room, pink, ambiguous lights flickered, and the scent of perfume and alcohol intertwined. Wu Kang's fatigue instantly vanished as he entered. He plopped down among a group of bare-breasted women, hugging them left and right, a broad smile on his face. "Foreign chicks are still the best! You guys are pretty sensible!"

While Wu Kang was flirting with the ladies, a man quietly approached the wine glass. With a quick flick of his fingertips, white powder fell into the wine. He then shook the glass, waiting for the powder to dissolve with the wine, before handing it to Wu Kang.

Wu Kang didn't even think twice, just tilted his head back and drank it all in one gulp. As the wine went down his throat, his head started to feel heavy, his chest felt tight and he felt short of breath, and his stomach started to churn.

He held onto the table, his eyes wide with anger: "What did you put in the wine?"

The man took his time, pulled out a transparent bag from his bag, and waved it in front of Wu Kang. "Brother Kang, this is a good thing. It will make you as happy as a god. It's the first time, and if you do it again, I guarantee you won't be able to stop."

Wu Kang instantly understood what was in the bag. He gritted his teeth and said fiercely, "You dare to poison me? You're courting death!"

The lady beside him twisted her waist and wrapped her arms around Wu Kang like a snake: "Brother Kang, this is legal here. It can make you forget your troubles. We all love it. Are you scared?"

After he finished speaking, the ladies in the box all looked at Wu Kang. Wu Kang's clenched fists slowly loosened, and he spat on the ground: "Who said I don't dare? I'm not afraid of killing people, so why should I be afraid of this?" As he said that, he snatched the transparent bag, poured half of the powder into the wine glass, and drank it.

This time, the feeling was completely different from before. A strange pleasure instantly swept through his body. Wu Kang collapsed on the sofa, squinting his eyes, shaking his head to the deafening music, as if he were floating in the clouds, in ecstasy.

He had a great time that night.

……

In the afternoon, sunlight filtered through the glass curtain wall and shone onto the restaurant's polished floor. He Qingqing, dressed in a gorgeous long dress, walked gracefully into the restaurant, a beaming smile on her face.

The manager came up quickly and asked respectfully, "Is this Miss He? Mr. Qiao is waiting in the private room."

He Qingqing nodded slightly, stepped on her high heels, and followed the manager.

In the private room, Nan Feng stared at the test report in his hand with a cold expression, anger surging in the depths of his eyes.

Hearing footsteps, he put the report into his bag, put on a warm smile, and waved to He Qingqing: "Qingqing, this way!"

When He Qingqing saw a table full of her favorite dishes, her eyes were full of surprise. She charmingly tucked her scattered hair behind her ears and sat down opposite Nan Feng.

Pretending to be wronged, she said, "A Feng, I thought you ignored me and was so worried. I'm so happy that you asked me out today. This is the new skirt I bought. Does it look good?"

Nan Feng nodded: "I've been busy recently and neglected you. I'm sorry."

Seeing that Nan Feng was still the same as before, He Qingqing completely relaxed: "How could I blame you."

Nan Feng picked up a dish for He Qingqing with chopsticks: "Just order a few things. If it's not enough, we can order more."

Seeing Nan Feng being so considerate, He Qingqing felt even happier and said quickly, "That's enough, that's enough."

Nan Feng paused and said, "Qingqing, I'm going on a business trip for at least half a month. You have to take care of yourself while I'm away. When I come back, start preparing for the wedding."

He Qingqing stopped chewing, her eyes widened, and she danced with excitement: "A Feng, are you really willing to marry me?"

Nan Feng smiled and nodded, then took out a necklace from her bag: "I bought this for you, Qingqing. Wear it all the time, okay?"

He Qingqing couldn't wait to take the necklace and put it on: "It's my favorite sapphire. I will wear it forever and wait for you to marry me."

After the meal, the two walked out of the restaurant.

Nan Feng said, "Qingqing, I have something to do at the company, so I won't see you off." He took out a card and handed it to her. "The previous card might have been stolen. I know you're frugal and wouldn't have that many large expenses, so I stopped using it. You can use this one."

He Qingqing held the card, watching Nan Feng's departing back, and murmured to herself: "A Feng loves me, and I will soon be Mrs. Qiao. Fortunately, it was not discovered that Wu Kang used the card to gamble, otherwise I would have suffered. It's a good thing that the card was stopped, so that Wu Kang would not squander the Qiao family's money."
