Chapter 548: Chapter 549: Autumn Should Be Nice, If You Are Still Here (8)_1
Upon arriving at the destination, Jing Haohao hastily paid the fare and quickly took out her phone to call the secretary.
The boss and the secretary t their clients at the Nanjing Restaurant by the Ring City River, a place Liang Chen and Jing Haohao had visited before.
The restaurant looked the sa, with a line of red elongated lanterns hanging outside the entrance and a car park full of luxury cars on the side.
Due to its proximity to the river, the autumn night wind carried a sharp chill, making Jing Haohao shiver. She stomped her feet and hugged the docunts, waiting for a while before she saw the secretary rushing out from inside.
Jing Haohao hurried forward, handed over the docunts, and the secretary simply said, “Thank you” before hastily running back into the Nanjing Restaurant.
Jing Haohao stood at the entrance of the restaurant for a mont, then walked toward the roadside.
Since the Ring City River was surrounded by high-end consur areas, very few taxis entered the area. Jing Haohao waited for a while but could not hail a cab, so she had to walk towards the bus stop five hundred ters away.
…
That night, Liang Chen was not in the Nanjing Restaurant, but in an Italian Restaurant next door.
The dinner was a feast attended by prominent figures from Jiangshan City, but Liang Chen was not in the mood to participate.
Just the day before yesterday, he had taken a flight to France, and only arrived in Jiangshan City this noon. Just like every trip to France, he had co back empty-handed.
He couldn’t rember how many tis he had gone there looking for Jing Haohao, always returning disappointed. After each return, he would be in low spirits and drank more than usual to numb his unexpressed longing and sorrow. He had found no other ways except drinking to cope with his repeated failures to find Jing Haohao.
Regrettably, the more he drank, the deeper his longing grew. Liang Chen ultimately beca so drunk that he felt dizzy.
When the party was over, he was thoroughly drunk and staggered as he walked. Soone suggested giving him a ride ho, but he refused, swirling around. He staggered out of the Italian Restaurant and stood at the entrance, unable to tell the directions, then randomly chose a direction and clumsily headed forward.
Many cars were parked on the riverbank. In his eyes, all cars looked the sa, and he couldn’t distinguish his own. He ended up pressing his car key and pulling each car door, causing the alarms of the surrounding cars to go off, attracting the attention of the security guards.
“Sir, I’m sorry, but these are not your cars. Do you rember your license plate number?”
Liang Chen vaguely felt soone was talking beside him. He tried to listen but only heard a buzzing noise. He continued to stagger forward, almost falling down.
Luckily, the security guard stretched out his hand in ti to assist Liang Chen, “Sir, why don’t I help you back to the restaurant to rest for a while? You can leave after you’ve sobered up, alright?”
…
When Jing Haohao was about to reach the bus stop, she noticed two people staggering by the road.
She curiously glanced over.
