I was brought home by the rich and powerful

Chapter 259
"After the new year, you will be one year older." Xiaoyao Wuming sighed, "I have read the almanac for the teacher, the first month..."

As soon as Duan Jiaoyang heard it, he heard something, "Did Yu Jin tell you something?"

"I didn't say anything, I just paid New Year's greetings." Xiaoyao Wuming said solemnly, "There is nothing for you to deal with here in City C. After the New Year is over, why don't you go to the Imperial Capital?"

"It's not that there is nothing to do, but there is indeed something to do in the imperial capital. This year, I will spend a little longer in the imperial capital." She replied.

"How is Lu Shi's matter going?" He looked at Duan Jiaoyang, "You have been in frequent contact with Lu Shulin's former bodyguard?"

"The legal team is handling the appeal filed by Lu Shuhang. Wei Yan and the others are currently handling the matter of the Lu Group according to the procedures, and the progress is good."

She pondered over the chess game and made a seemingly random move.

"Since everything is on the right track, you and Yu Jin also..."

"Master, don't you want to save your chess pieces?" Duan Jiaoyang interrupted Xiaoyao Wuming's words again.

Xiaoyao Wuming stared at her, "Can't you let me finish my sentence?"

No, definitely not.

She knew what he was going to say.

She smiled and didn't speak, Xiaoyao Wuming didn't get angry seeing her like this.

"Mr. Xiaoyao, Ms. Duan." Ah Xing had already climbed up the stairs, carrying a big bag and a small bag in his hand, which was a sign of etiquette for New Year's greetings here.

Duan Jiaoyang turned his head to look at him, seeing Ah Xing like this and smiled slightly, "Aren't you tired of climbing the mountain with so many things?"

The Wuming Mountain is not short. Most importantly, the Wuming Mountain is still a mountain in the mountains. It doesn't mean that you can climb the Wuming Mountain directly after getting off the car.

Ah Xing has been carrying so many things along the way, of course he is tired, and he did not expect such a mountain as Wuming Mountain.

He thought it was just like an ordinary mountain, just walking up a ladder, who knew it would be like this.

"It's okay." He was panting.

"Let's put it down." Duan Jiaoyang didn't make things difficult for him, "Is there something wrong?"

"No." Ah Xing shook his head, "I just came to pay New Year's greetings to the old man and you."

"Oh, that's over, let's go." Duan Jiaoyang's eyes returned to the chessboard, as if he really didn't see A Xing in his eyes, and he was really chasing him away.

Ah Xing: "..."

The snow hanging from the pine tree beside him loosened for a while and fell, hitting his head just in time.

Shocked by the coldness, Ah Xing came to his senses, "Miss Duan, actually...something is up."

Duan Jiaoyang touched Nuan Baobao with his hands, and hummed, "Go and drink some water first."

Ah Xing was led to drink water.

Duan Jiaoyang could feel the master's eyes staring at her all the time, she sighed softly, "I don't care about it, I have to deal with it until the end."

Xiaoyao Wuming didn't have a good impression of Lu Shulin, he felt that agreeing to Duan Jiaoyang's sending someone to deal with Lu's family was already the biggest setback.

Duan Jiaoyang can't handle this matter by himself right now.

"Master." Duan Jiaoyang raised his eyes and looked at him, "I have my own discretion, and I don't have that much time. If Wei Yan's team can't do it, I will arrange other teams to go there."

After hearing this, Xiaoyao Wuming took back his anger and stood up, "Sweeping the fun, I can't let it go."

Duan Jiaoyang: "..." She seriously suspected that Master was running away.

Ah Xing walked back after drinking the water, but Xiaoyao Wuming was no longer on the chessboard, only Duan Jiaoyang was playing there alone.

Thinking of Xiaoyao's nameless attitude, Ah Xing didn't think there was anything wrong. The unpleasant meeting in Country T was the only meeting they had with Mr. Xiaoyao, and it was also the last meeting with Mr. Lu.

"What's the matter, tell me." Duan Jiaoyang asked without taking it seriously.

Ah Xing was a little hard to speak.

Duan Jiaoyang didn't look up, and waited patiently, but Ah Xing just kept silent.

Duan Jiaoyang didn't speak for a long time before he raised his head, "Why, didn't you say something happened?"

"Miss Duan, don't be angry." Ah Xing lowered his head.

Duan Jiaoyang frowned, "Huh? What would make me angry?"

Ah Xing opened his mouth, he should have said it according to the time, otherwise it might be too late when the New Year starts here.

Duan Jiaoyang looked at him looking like he wanted to say something but didn't say it, and his face darkened, "Ah Xing!"

"Miss Duan, yes, it's Mr. Lu."

"Which Mr. Lu?" Duan Jiaoyang didn't react.

Ah Xing looked at him, "It's Mr. Lu Shulin."

"...Finish the sentence." It's not annoying to say half of it like this.

"Mr. Lu had contacts with officials when he was doing business." Ah Xing considered his words carefully, "It's not very deep. As far as I know, Mr. Lu has gradually drifted away from that official."

"Speak human!" Duan Jiaoyang's face was very ugly.

"The official had an accident." Ah Xing finally shut up after uttering these words.

Duan Jiaoyang thought it was something, whether it was in the shopping malls or the officialdom, it was normal that the flowers would not be popular in a hundred days.

"so what?"

"Miss Duan, I'm here to pay New Year's greetings. By the way, I want to remind you. I don't know if this will have a butterfly effect and affect you."

"Understood." Duan Jiaoyang didn't take it seriously, "Things abroad will not have any impact."

Hearing this, Ah Xing breathed a sigh of relief, hoping that he was thinking too much.

He hummed, "I'm here to wish you New Year's greetings."

"Well, it's getting late, you go down the mountain." Wuming Mountain doesn't allow outsiders to stay overnight, let alone there is no guest room at this meeting.

"Wait a minute, bring the return gift." Duan Jiaoyang asked someone to get the return gift, "You are Lu Shulin's former bodyguard, you are still thinking about your former employer after this meeting?"

Ah Xing lowered his eyes slightly, "Mr. Lu has been kind to me." He also knew that it was time for him to do his own thing, but he felt, wait, wait a little longer.

As for when to wait, he himself does not know.

Duan Jiaoyang didn't say anything else, Ah Xing took the gift back and went down the mountain. She was still thinking about the chessboard, she didn't like a draw, and she wanted to see if she could survive the crisis.

But after pondering for a while, she couldn't figure out anything, so she gave up and got up.

"Leaving?" Xiaoyao Wuming saw Duan Jiaoyang coming in, and gave her a sidelong glance.

"Just come up to pay New Year's greetings."

"Lu Shulin is such a person that he has such a loyal bodyguard." Xiaoyao Wuming said lightly.

Duan Jiaoyang hummed, yes, a person like Lu Shulin has such a loyal bodyguard.

………………

In many companies, the first batch of employees go to work on the fifth day of the new year, and almost all employees will go to work on the eighth day of the new year, and the one-year operation has officially begun.

The road resumed its usual busy traffic, and on this day, Duan Jiaoyang made an appointment with several juniors to have a reunion dinner together.

And the place to meet is Pang Chu's restaurant.
