Zhang Jiuhui must have heard on the phone that this was a message for help, otherwise he would not have deliberately called him Gu Mingchen.

If it was seven o'clock tomorrow night, he should come early to avoid the appointed time and catch the other party off guard.

Xie Jian just waited for the arrival of tomorrow.

In the next afternoon, because it was cloudy, it got dark early, and it was already very dark after five o'clock.

Xie Jian called the woman, "It's going to rain, I remember when I came in there was a pavilion beside the door, let's go there with an umbrella and wait for him, I'm afraid he will get caught in the rain."

The woman hesitated before agreeing.

She thought that since Gu Mingchen would show up, it didn't matter whether Xie Jian would leave, after all, Mr. Gu wanted to see Gu Mingchen.

Xie Jian arrived at the door with an umbrella, and soon heard the sound of a car.

She ran to the door excitedly under an umbrella and asked the woman to open the door.

"She must have come back early."

The woman looked at Xie Jian suspiciously, "Didn't you make an appointment at seven o'clock?"

Xie Jian smiled and looked at the woman, "He knew that he said that the board of directors would come at seven o'clock, and that was the time for them to meet.

But he missed me, he must have wanted to be alone with me for a while before then. "

Regardless of face, she made an intimate gesture.

The woman couldn't help laughing, and then asked the person watching at the door to open the door.

Xie Jian looked at Zhang Jiuhui in the car from a distance, wearing sunglasses, it was raining heavily, so she knew it was Zhang Jiuhui, others didn't know, they all thought it was Gu Mingchen.

Zhang Jiuhui drove slowly towards the door, and suddenly stopped halfway through the door.

His actions made it impossible for these people to close the door. Xie Jian immediately snatched the umbrella from the woman's hand when he saw it.

"It's raining too much, I'll pick him up."

The woman was puzzled for a moment, but didn't react at the time.

Xie Jianda could use the umbrella she held to bring Gu Mingchen in the car, but she snatched the umbrella from her hand.

At that time, the woman thought of one person, but in fact, Xie Jian just wanted her to be blocked by the situation of no umbrella and heavy rain when she realized it.

Xie Jian got into the car under the eyes of those people, Zhang Jiuhui reversed the car quickly, turned around and left at the corner.

He kept speeding up the car in order to take Xie Jian away safely.

Xie Jian was frightened by Zhang Jiuhui's astonishing speed, so he froze and leaned against his position.

She got into the car in a hurry and forgot to fasten her seat belt just now. The speed made her a little unsteady, "Did you drive so fast?"

When Xie Jian asked this sentence, he looked back, but there was no one following him, so she raised her hand to touch Zhang Jiuhui's arm.

"No one is following, you can slow down a little."

Hearing Xie Jian's words, Zhang Jiuhui glanced at the rearview mirror and still felt uneasy. He looked sideways at Xie Jian, and immediately reminded her to wear her seat belt.

"We're not safe until we get home."

Xie Jian agreed with Zhang Jiuhui's words, and she immediately put on her seat belt under the reminder. Now the car with him was much more stable, and she didn't feel so flustered.

While in the car, Xie Jian didn't speak, nor did he discuss this matter with Zhang Jiuhui in detail, because he was afraid that he would be distracted while driving.

He didn't slow down at all along the way until he got home.

Zhang Jiuhui didn't send Xie Jian home, but took him to his own home.

When getting off the car, Xie Jian seemed a little hesitant, "Is it suitable?"

Zhang Jiuhui didn't answer this question, he took out the umbrella from the back seat and got out of the car, then opened the car door in the direction of Xie Jian, and helped her hold the umbrella to get her out of the car.

"I……"

Xie Jian wanted to ask about the sentence just now, but he didn't respond. If he asked again, the result should still be the same.

Zhang Jiuhui understood her hesitation, he just said lightly, "Go in."

Xie Jian followed Zhang Jiuhui into his home. This is the villa he lived in after he and Pippi got engaged, not his original house.

Xie Jian was a little apprehensive when she entered the door. She was not afraid of Pippi, but felt that her appearance was very embarrassing.

Pippi is a very good girl, even if he meets her, Xie Jian will not feel any discomfort, the only discomfort is brought by his own heart.

After following Zhang Jiuhui in, there was only one aunt cleaning the house.

Seeing Zhang Jiuhui coming back, the aunt came over and took out the slippers that Zhang Jiuhui and Xie Jian wanted to change from the shoe cabinet at the door.

Xie Jian looked at Zhang Jiuhui curiously, and immediately asked his aunt, "Where's Pippi?"

The aunt explained that Pippi would go back to her home and would come back at night.

"Ah."

Xie Jian has been awkward since entering the door. After all, this is the house of Zhang Jiuhui and Pippi. She is an outsider, even a friend would feel awkward.

Plus the relationship between the two of them in the past... Xie Jian was a little confused.

Zhang Jiuhui looked at Xie Jian who was standing there stupidly and called her name, "Xie Jian, follow me upstairs."

Xie Jian reacted for a few minutes before recovering, "Oh, good."

Zhang Jiuhui went upstairs first, and Xie Jian followed immediately.

He took Xie Jian upstairs to a place similar to a reception room. The furnishings were similar to a study, but it didn't look like an office.

The aunt quickly brought hot tea and desserts.

It's raining heavily outside, and these are just the right time to send them.

Xie Jian couldn't eat well in the later period in Mr. Gu's garden, so his eyes lit up when he saw these foods.

"I, I want to eat."

Zhang Jiuhui smiled faintly, "It's just for you, and I don't like sweets very much, did you forget?"

Xie Jian grinningly picked up a piece of snack and ate without saying a word.

Zhang Jiuhui couldn't hide the frustration on Zhang Jiuhui's face, Xie Jian was so alien in front of him at this moment.

She used to have such a good relationship, but she couldn't even remember that she didn't like sweets very much.

He told his aunt to prepare these. When Xie Jian was standing downstairs in a daze, he had already told him that all the snacks Xie Jian liked were prepared.

When she ran into the car, it was pouring rain and the wind was blowing randomly, so it was inevitable that her body would be stained with rain and moisture.

Xie Jian blew on the hot tea and drank it in small sips. He felt very comfortable on his body and gradually warmed up.

Seeing that Xie Jian's face was gradually turning rosy, Zhang Jiuhui knew that she was in good condition now, unlike the way she just came back.

"What's the matter this time?"

For Zhang Jiuhui, this matter was interrupted from beginning to end. He could clearly feel Xie Jian's call for help when he received the call, and he had planned a time to cooperate with her, but he didn't know what was going on.

Since he participated and helped Xie Jian, he wanted to find out.

What is certain is that this matter has nothing to do with Gu Mingchen and the Gu family, because Zhang Jiuhui had checked that the address of the garden was owned by the Gu family before he went to pick up Xie Jian.
