Outside the mall, in a black car parked on the roadside.

"I'll take you here." A woman's voice came. She was wearing sunglasses and a mask, almost covering her entire face.

"I know." The other woman in the car patted her hand. "Thank you for your recommendation. If our family can negotiate the contract this time, we have to thank you."

"Why are you being polite? I've been good friends with her for so many years, and I know her preferences to some extent. I was just giving you some advice. I didn't expect you to be so thoughtful."

"Anyway, thank you. I'm leaving now. Bye!" After saying that, he pushed the door open and walked out.

At this moment, Ling Kai drove out of the parking lot and just happened to see the car and the silhouette of the woman in the back seat.

"Why does that person look so familiar? He looks a lot like Xiao Ying."

He squinted his eyes and looked for a while, and finally saw a out-of-print keychain of a certain brand on the bag that seemed to belong to Xiao Ying.

He remembered that Xiao Ying once showed off this keychain in front of him.

Haha, it’s really her.

He saw a woman getting out of Xiao Ying's car and running straight to a coffee shop in a roadside shopping mall, which was the coffee shop where he had just said goodbye to Han Xi.

He drove his car to the side of the road along the flow of traffic.

At this time, the car had already driven away.

He turned his head to look towards the cafe. Han Xi and Cao Min were sitting in a booth by the window, and the woman who had just got off the car was sitting opposite them.

Several people greeted with a smile.

What...is going on?

Ling Kai knew that Han Xi and Cao Min were coming to meet a client today. Is this the client they were talking about?

How come you are so familiar with Xiao Ying?

He knew very well the grudge between Xiao Ying and Han Xi.

It’s impossible that Xiao Ying didn’t see Han Xi on the roadside just now, and her friend is Han Xi’s client?

This is weird no matter how you look at it.

Han Xi and Cao Min came here today at the request of a client, because this client needs to customize a brooch for a wedding banquet, and the specific requirements can only be known after meeting in person.

That's why we met today.

Kong Jingjing didn't expect Han Xi to be so young, and she didn't think too much about it. She got straight to the point as soon as they met.

She showed Han Xi the dress she would wear on the wedding night and made some requests, hoping that Han Xi could design one for her as soon as possible.

Han Xi was still very professional. After noting down her requirements, he also gave some suggestions. The two chatted for a while and were able to implement the basic design plan.

Han Xi had a rough idea of ​​the brooch design in his mind.

The design can be drawn up on site in just ten minutes.

Kong Jingjing was happy to see the design drawings come out so quickly and didn't mind waiting for another ten minutes.

During this period, Cao Min chatted with Kong Jingjing. Cao Min was a very social person and there was almost no one she couldn't talk to, and Kong Jingjing was no exception.

So, the two of them started chatting quickly.

At this time, a waiter in the aisle passed by with a cup of hot coffee. When he walked to their position, for some reason his foot suddenly stepped on something and slipped, and the coffee on the tray instantly poured onto Kong Jingjing.

Cao Min was right opposite and reacted quickly. He reached out and blocked the coffee cup with his hand. The cup rolled to the side and fell to the ground, breaking into several pieces with a clang.

By the way, most of the coffee in the cup spilled onto the ground.

However, a small amount of coffee still spilled onto Kong Jingjing. The coffee had just been made and was still hot, and Cao Min's hand was burned.

Han Xi stood up quickly.

"Are you okay?" She glanced at the two of them, then looked at Cao Min's scalded arm as he sat next to her.

"I'm fine. What about you, Miss Kong? Are you not burned?" Cao Min asked with concern.

Kong Jingjing looked innocent. She had only worn the dress a few times before it was ruined. She was a little angry and looked at the waiter who also had coffee spilled on his pants.

"How do you walk?"

The waitress had just slipped and stood up. When she saw that other customers had been hurt, she was stunned and apologized quickly.

"I'm sorry, miss. I was careless just now. I don't know what I stepped on and fell." The waiter was at a loss. There was nothing she could do except to apologize sincerely.

At this time, the store manager came up with a large bag of tissues.

"I'm sorry to say that this is a mistake by our staff that has caused you harm. If you are burned, we can choose to accompany you to the hospital. We will be fully responsible for the medical expenses and your losses. Do you want to wipe off the coffee stains on your body first?"

As he said that, he handed over the tissue.

In addition, other waiters came to clean the floor.

Seeing that the store manager had already done this much, Cao Min didn't want to make things too difficult for them.

"Is your hand okay?"

Han Xi asked with concern, if anyone was really burned, it was only Cao Min, from what could be seen from Kong Jingjing, only her clothes were stained.

Cao Min shook her head. "It's nothing. It's just a little red. It doesn't hurt!"

Then, she looked at Kong Jingjing and said, "Ms. Kong, why don't I accompany you to the bathroom to wipe it?"

Seeing this, the store manager also suggested, "Right, right, right. Or we can go in with you and do some preliminary cleaning first?"

Kong Jingjing felt annoyed when she saw them at this time. How could she let them accompany her? She nodded to Cao Min.

"Xiao Xi, I'll accompany Miss Kong to the bathroom first. You can draw the first draft of the design!" As he said that, Cao Min took Kong Jingjing to the bathroom.

To express their apology, the store manager waived the bill for their table and also sent over some cakes and drinks.

Han Xi had no choice but to calm down and continue drawing. There were only a few strokes left to finish the design, but when she finished the design and had a piece of cake and a cup of coffee, Cao Min and Kong Jingjing did not come out.

She felt a little curious and wondered if she should go and see for herself.

At this time, a waiter from the cafe came up.

"Miss, your friend asked you to go to the restroom."

Han Xi was puzzled, "Did they say anything?"

"It seems something is stuck. I didn't hear it clearly. Would you like to go over and take a look?"

Stuck? Hair stuck? Or something stuck?

I can only go and take a look.

She thanked him and walked to the bathroom.

......

Twenty minutes later, Ling Kai walked back into the cafe and approached the booth where Han Xi and the others were.

Ling Kai had seen Cao Min being scalded by coffee through the glass window on the side of the road, so he wanted to get out of the car and go over, but his car was stuck on the side of the road, in a long line of cars leaving the parking lot. He stopped for a while, and the cars behind him kept honking their horns to urge him to move on.

Helplessly, he had to drive out along the traffic jam and then go back to the parking lot to park his car and come back up.

He thought that Han Xi and the others would not leave so soon, so he even sent her a voice message asking her to wait for him.

But looking at the empty seats with Cao Min and Han Xi's bags on them, he felt something was very wrong.

Subconsciously, he looked around for Han Xi's four bodyguards.

Han Xi's current crisis has not been resolved yet, and the bodyguards have to protect her closely all the time. Wherever she goes, they will divide the work and cooperate to protect her well.

Unfortunately, he couldn't see the bodyguard.

His brows furrowed even more tightly.

If Han Xi leaves, even if she forgets to bring her bag, the bodyguard will help her get it.

Now the bag is left there and the person and bodyguard are gone?

He pulled a passing waiter and asked, "Do you know where the guests who were sitting here are now?"

The waiter looked at his handsome face in bewilderment, but quickly came to his senses, "They went to the bathroom."

"Bathroom?" Ling Kai frowned. "How long have you been there?"

The waiter suddenly realized and looked at the clock on the wall, "It seems like he has been in there for a long time."

"Haven't you ever looked inside?"
