In the evening, by the Jinghai Sea.
The rain outside the car window cannot be described as pattering, it simply means pouring.
Chen Mu was driving in front. The rain was too heavy, so he drove cautiously.
Meng Ji looked at the wind and rain outside the car window, unable to hide the excitement in his eyes.
"Don't stay too far away from me at the banquet later. Let's go home early." Lu Ye pinched her earlobe.
Meng Ji nodded, "The rain is really heavy today."
Lu Ye originally didn't want to go out in this kind of weather, but it was inconvenient for him to shirk the Xu family's coming-of-age ceremony, not to mention that Meng Ji had to go.
There was no way he could let his beloved wife go out alone.
Lu Ye was even more worried.
——
The Xu family hired someone to park the car for these dignitaries in the parking lot. Meng Ji took Lu Ye's hand and slowly got out of the car.
Fortunately, there was a long rain-proof corridor after getting off the bus, so they would not get wet while walking in it.
The Xu family's banquet location is on the giant ship on the Jinghai Sea in front of them. This is a characteristic of the Xu family's banquets.
It is said that their family made a fortune from aquatic products. The head of the Xu family believed this very much, so the banquets held by the Xu family were always related to water.
Meng Ji came a little late because Lu Ye insisted.
She gathered her shawl to protect herself from the cold wind.
Thanks to Aunt Chu's foresight, she was able to keep some warmth on her body.
Li Xin was very nervous today. She was waiting for Meng Ji at the door early.
She sent a message to Meng Ji and he didn't reply. Could it be that Mr. Lu found out?
Many guests at the banquet had gone in to use the air conditioners, but she was still pacing and turning around at the entrance of the corridor.
Across the heavy rain, Li Xin suddenly saw Meng Ji from a distance.
She didn't care about anything and ran over. The second master of the Lu family followed Meng Ji.
Li Xin was a little afraid of his aura that could repel people from thousands of miles away, so she weakly shouted, "Second Master."
Lu Ye nodded in response.
He won't show off to his wife's best friend.
"Nuo, you forgot to take something with you." Meng Ji put the thing into Li Xin's hand and pinched her quietly where Lu Ye couldn't see it.
Pain hit her from the palm of her hand, and Li Xin held it back.
"Oh yes, you brought it to me." She quickly reacted and cooperated with Meng Ji's acting.
Meng Ji let go of Lu Ye's hand and turned around to hold Li Xin's arm.
Both of them were shivering from the cold. The dinner was on a ship, which was one of the special features of the Xu family's banquets.
Meng Ji planned to separate from Lu Ye right here.
"Axin and I will go first. Send me a message when you are about to leave."
"Um."
Lu Ye nodded. He looked at Meng Ji's back as he walked towards the giant ship, feeling unspeakable panic in his heart.
He felt that Meng Ji seemed to be getting further and further away from him.
Intangible feeling.
"Meng Ji." His mouth reacted one step ahead of his brain, and he called out to Meng Ji in front of him.
"Huh?" Meng Ji turned his head and looked at him with doubtful eyes.
Lu Ye paused, clenching his fists to resist his desire to take Meng Ji home.
"We'll go home early later."
So that’s what happened.
Meng Ji felt relieved and took advantage of the light on the roadside to smile at him, "I know."
Then he turned around and entered the giant wheel with Li Xin.
Only when she realized that Lu Ye's eyes were no longer on her did she relax completely.
Both men's hands and feet were cold.
It wasn't because he was cold, it was because he was scared by Lu Ye.
The thing they planned seemed like they had done something bad when facing Lu Ye.
My heart was full of timidity and anxiety.
Li Xin held Meng Ji's hand tightly, "Your second master is too scary."
Meng Ji deeply agreed.
Could it not be scary? All the time she lived with him, she had no freedom.
Lu Ye's entire existence was like a big stone weighing on his heart.
Can't move and is suffocating.
"I arranged for someone to be on the deck of the ship." Li Xin whispered in her ear.
Meng Ji nodded, she was accustomed to water and was quite good at it.
And only Jiang Xicheng and Li Xin knew about this matter.
Anyone else thinks she's a landlubber, but she's not.
Her swimming was taught by Jiang Xicheng himself, and Jiang Xicheng's swimming skills were international champions.
Meng's house has a large private swimming pool, which Meng Dezhi built specifically for Jiang Xicheng to please her stepmother.
Every weekend, Jiang Xicheng locks himself in the swimming pool to train.
At this time, Meng Ji will be with him.
That can be regarded as a small dating world for two people.
So when Meng Ji told Li Xin that he could escape by drowning, Li Xin was shocked.
I was shocked again when I found out that my best friend was doing well in the water.
Because of the rain today, the Xu family's giant ship did not drive too far.
It's still raining outside.
Meng Ji and Li Xin both had a glass of champagne in their hands and chatted.
Across the crowd in the distance, Meng Ji saw the dazzling man standing in the crowd at a glance.
It seems that no matter where he goes, he is the most dazzling one.
God gave him a good appearance, a good figure, and a good family background.
But he just didn't have a good heart.
If his heart was really kind, then during those days and nights when Meng Ji begged him, if he had a hint of softness, he would let her go.
But he didn't.
He also went even further to take Meng Ji as his own.
So Meng Ji resisted now, and she made an almost perfect plan to escape.
"Boom——"
Lightning and thunder began outside. The wealthy people at the banquet smiled on the outside, but in their hearts they wanted to leave.
Meng Ji met Lu Ye's gaze, and he frowned at her and looked at the door.
He was signaling her to go home.
Meng Ji stood across the crowd, raised the wine glass in his hand, and saluted him.
Then he raised his head and drank it.
This is saying goodbye to her past. After tonight, she will no longer live with hatred for Lu Ye.
From now on, she will belong to herself.
"Aji, let's go play there." Li Xin was indeed her good sister and pulled her to run somewhere else.
From a distance, it looked like Meng Ji had to leave with Li Xin.
Lu Ye looked at the burgundy back and his brows jumped.
She had a lot of drinks tonight and will get drunk.
How come he never knew that Meng Ji was so greedy?
There were people nearby who kept toasting to him, "Second Master, long time no see."
Lu Ye raised his head and finished the drink in one gulp, then said, "Excuse me."
He put the empty wine glass on the bartender's plate and left after the red color, leaving Chen Mu to deal with the other bosses.
She was clearly here just now.
Where are people?
Lu Ye ran to the board and looked everywhere.
Through the light, he could clearly see the slender figure in front of him.
There was only Meng Ji.
Staggering and dancing, to the music of the banquet inside.
He knew that Meng Ji danced well.
But Meng Ji never let himself skip it since then.
Because he fell in love with her at first sight because of the way Meng Ji danced, and then forced himself on her.
Later, Meng Ji stopped dancing for him, thinking that he would lose interest in her.
Lu Ye knew these little thoughts of hers, but never explained them.
He fell in love with Meng Ji as a person, not her dancing.
Meng Ji is beautiful tonight.
The swaying skirt and graceful dancing posture are reflected by the raindrops falling on the eaves.
Every turn of her bare feet seemed to fall on Lu Ye's heart.
"Wanwan, come here." Seeing Meng Ji jumping closer and closer to the sea, Lu Ye's pupils dilated.
There was an iron gate in front of him, and he didn't know where Meng Ji entered.
He anxiously looked for the switch of the iron door. It was obviously a cold night, but he was sweating profusely.
"Dong——"
Then, Lu Ye saw Meng Ji falling into the sea.
That dark red color disappeared in front of his eyes in an instant.
"Wanwan!!"
