On the day of divorce, my ex-husband begged me to get back together.

Chapter 880 Delay
Xie Jiuyi nodded and felt a little more relaxed.

Shen Linfeng also gave Jian Chu a look of thanks, and the atmosphere returned to calm.

The three of them waited for Qi Boyan for a long time but saw no one. Jian Chu called his mobile phone and got through quickly, but no one answered after ringing several times.

Jian Chu thought he had already arrived at the door, so he didn't answer the door, but after waiting for a long time, he didn't see anyone coming in.

She frowned slightly, with a slightly dull expression on her face. Qi Baiyan did not answer the phone.

She called Yao Cen directly again.

Both of their cell phones were open, but no one answered.

When Xie Jiu saw this, he quickly said: "Let him take a look."

By this he was referring to Shen Linfeng. Shen Linfeng would regret it and immediately call Qi Boyan, but the response would be the same.

Qi Baiyan didn't answer the phone, which made Jian Chu worried.

But the two of them just chatted at noon, so they should tell her in advance if anything happens.

Shen Linfeng said: "Maybe the company has something temporarily delayed? How about we eat first and let the kitchen cook for him later."

Jian Chu nodded. Shen Linfeng stood up and left the lounge. Jian Chu picked up his phone and dialed a number.

It connected within seconds after the beep.

She stated her identity and purpose of visit: "Hello, I am Jian Chu. Is Mr. Qi in the company?"

She called Qi Boyan's secretary office directly. The person who answered the phone was one of Qi Boyan's assistants, whom Jian Chu had met many times.

Naturally, the other party knew about Jian Chu and immediately responded politely: "Hello, madam, Mr. Qi left the company with Secretary Yao. He should be on his way home now."

Jian Chu frowned slightly and asked, "About how long have they been gone?"

"About 10 minutes or so."

"ok, I know, thank you."

After talking to Qi Boyan's assistant on the phone, Jian Chu still had a solemn expression on his face, and felt a little uneasy in his heart.

Because Qi Boyan wouldn't answer the phone like this unless something delayed him.

Otherwise he would definitely answer the phone, even if it was just to send her a message back.

Jian Chu pursed her lips tightly and remained silent for a long time without any response. Xie Jiuyi also came back to the lounge from outside. Seeing Jian Chu sitting on the sofa and staring at the phone in a daze, she asked: "Xiao Chu, Mr. Qi hasn't answered the phone yet? "

"Well, did something happen?" Jian Chu asked calmly.

Xie Jiuyi said quickly: "Don't worry, I'll let Shen Linfeng go and find out."

Jian Chu hummed in a low voice, and her cell phone rang at this time. It was Yao Cen calling. She quickly shouted to Xie Jiuyi that there was no need to trouble Shen Linfeng anymore, and then pressed the answer button.

"Hello, Secretary Yao?"

"Ma'am, it's me."

"Where are you? Why doesn't he answer the phone?"

"Madam, Mr. Qi has something to deal with. It's not convenient to answer the phone right now. Mr. Qi asked me to tell you that I can't have dinner with you. You should eat and go back to Fenglinyuan first. He will go back directly after he handles the matter."

There was nothing strange about Yao Cen's tone, which made Jian Chu's worry and anxiety gradually dissipate.

But she still asked: "What is he dealing with? Why can't he even call me in person?"

"It concerns the Qi family, so I can't say anything. If Madam is curious, she can wait until she sees Mr. Qi to ask Mr. Qi after the matter is dealt with."

"Yes, I understand." Jian Chu replied calmly.

Since Qi Boyan was fine, she did not continue to ask questions and ended the call with Yao Cen.

After hanging up the phone, the expression on her face remained slightly stiff and cold. She looked at Xie Jiuyi and asked with some uncertainty: "Am I too sensitive or is Qi Boyan really hiding something from me?" "I don't think so. You're too sensitive. It's not that he's hiding something from you. It's because you miss and care about him so much that you have such random thoughts." Xie Jiuyi grabbed her hand and pulled her out of the lounge: "Let's eat first. Even if the sky falls, we still have to eat. Mr. Qi is just delayed because of something. Don't look like you don't think about food or tea, I will be angry."

Xie Jiuyi pulled her to the dining table and sat down. Her words made Jianchu's heart gradually return to calmness. Maybe it was just as Xie Jiuyi said, was she thinking too much?

Jian Chu pursed his lips slightly and shook his head to keep himself calm and stop thinking.

This meal was eaten by three people. Although Jian Chu did not continue to think about it, he did not have much appetite.

Therefore, they basically listened to Xie Jiuyi chatting with Shen Linfeng throughout the whole process. They probably missed her alone, so the two of them had some conscience and did not behave or interact too closely.

After finishing the meal, it was almost nine o'clock.

There were no customers in the restaurant, so Xie Jiuyi didn't need to stay any longer. She offered to see Jian Chu off, but Jian Chu refused because she drove over.

So the three of them left one after another without staying any longer.

Jian Chu drove back to Fenglin Garden alone, and naturally Qi Boyan hadn't come back yet.

Although Yao Cen had already talked to her on the phone, she didn't know what was wrong and always felt an indescribable panic.

Just when Jian Chu was hesitating whether to let Xiao Xiao contact Yao Cen, her cell phone rang.

It's a strange number I've never seen before.

She frowned slightly, subconsciously thinking of Qi Boyan's previous reminder to her, so her first reaction was that the call was from Jiang Min.

She hesitated for a moment and then hung up. After all, she could guess what Jiang Min would say without hearing it.

After she hung up, the other party repeated it again, probably because no one answered, so they didn't continue.

Jian Chu couldn't help but ask himself, where did Qi Boyan go?What are you so anxious about?
Or what happened?
Jian Chu pursed his lips slightly. He couldn't get an answer for a long time, and his thoughts were hard to conceal.

At the same time, Chu Muhe, who was far away in Jiangcheng, had just sent Chu Qiao back to the Chu family. He was still at the door of the Chu family. The Chu family's parents had temporarily agreed to the matter between him and Chu Qiao, but there was one requirement. It's okay for Qiao to get married, but Chu Qiao has to sign a consent form giving up inheriting everything from the Chu family, and it has to be done fairly and openly.

The Chu family's intention in doing this is obvious. They are deliberately guarding against Chu Muhe and testing Chu Muhe.

This was the reason why he had dinner with Chu Qiao tonight. He had no objection. How would Chu Qiao choose?

Chu Qiao needs to think about it, so she hasn't completely decided yet.

Chu Muhe got into the car. He didn't drive away immediately, but lit a cigarette and started smoking.

His cell phone also rang at this time. When he saw the string of numbers displayed on the screen, he frowned slightly, then pressed answer and clicked on the speakerphone.

A woman's gentle voice came from the mobile phone: "Muhe? Is it convenient to talk now?"

"Well, what's the matter?" He responded indifferently.

The woman paused slightly, as if she was a little disappointed because of his cold response. She said in a low voice: "How long will you have to stay in Jiangcheng before you come to Beicheng?"

Chu Muhe didn't have any unnecessary emotions, and still said very gently: "I'm not sure yet. If you have anything to say, just say it."

"I miss you. Can I go to Jiangcheng to accompany you?" Her voice was very gentle, but her gentleness seemed to be deliberately mixed with some stubborn persistence. She said: "Don't you even want to me?"

Listening to her words, a face hidden in his heart appeared subconsciously in front of Chu Muhe's eyes. After a few seconds of hesitation, he directly agreed: "I will arrange a flight for you tomorrow. , but I’m quite busy and can’t be with you all the time, so you can pass the time by yourself, eh?”

"Well, I know, I will definitely not disturb your work, don't worry." The woman agreed happily and ended the call with satisfaction.

If Chu Muhe had known that Ruan Tian's phone call would cost him a lot in the future, I'm afraid he would never have agreed to Ruan Tian's coming to Jiangcheng.

But now Chu Muhe has no such expectations at all. His idea is very simple. While dealing with Chu Qiao's affairs, he can still be with Ruan Tian, ​​the substitute, to get the best of both worlds.

He had just finished talking to Ruan Tian on the phone when the cell phone he had put aside suddenly rang again.

He glanced at it and saw that the caller ID was from Beicheng, so he pressed the connect button slowly: "Who is this?"
