Max-Level Metaphysician: A Debt Repayment Journey-Chapter 877: It’s Nice to Hitch a Ride on a Plane

Thinking of this, Jiangli’s words took a 180-degree turn. "Sure, Mr. Fu, when are you planning to leave? I’m flexible on my end."

Fu Shiyan said, "The secretary checked the flights, the earliest one to L City is at 1 PM. Shall I pick you up then?"

Jiangli smiled, "Okay, then I can hitch a ride in your luxury car, Mr. Fu."

"Lili, you can always hitch a ride if you want." Fu Shiyan’s tone carried a smile, the tail end of his words slightly lifted, as if enticing.

His voice seemed to be next to her ear, as if blowing air softly.

Jiangli felt her ears inexplicably heat up, cleared her throat, and said, "Mr. Fu, let’s get in touch then."

Fu Shiyan agreed and hung up the phone, never excessively entangling.

Putting down the phone, Jiangli appeared somewhat melancholic, looking out the window as if gazing into another world.

Yan Guofeng and others were baffled but did not dare to disturb Jiangli, just sat nearby, waiting for her to speak up.

On the other side.

Fu Shiyan put down the phone, the smile on his face disappearing the moment he hung up.

As if the smile had never been there.

Duan Jianchuan and Wen Zishu were used to Fu Shiyan’s two-faced attitude.

Seeing this, Wen Zishu secretly nudged Duan Jianchuan’s arm, hinting for him to speak first.

Duan Jianchuan rolled his eyes at him but still asked, "Third brother, are you going to L City?"

Fu Shiyan responded with a hum, dialing home to have the housekeeper pack some clothes for him.

After Fu Shiyan’s call, Duan Jianchuan said, "If third brother is going to L City, I should logically go with you."

Wen Zishu immediately raised his hand, "I want to go too!"

Duan Jianchuan shot him a look, "Don’t you have an important contract to discuss? What are you going for?"

Wen Zishu was stumped.

Qing Yue, who had been quiet in the background, suddenly smiled and said, "I don’t have anything going on, I should be able to go along, right?"

Fu Shiyan looked over at Qing Yue upon hearing this.

Qing Yue blinked, resting his chin in his hand innocently, "Third brother, don’t look at me like that. I mean no harm. I just don’t like owing people favors. Rest assured, I bear no malice towards her."

Fu Shiyan scrutinized Qing Yue, seeming to assess his sincerity.

But in the end, he said nothing.

...

Xia Xin had finished packing and when she came back to report, Jiangli snapped out of it and told Xia Xin that Fu Shiyan would be joining them to L City.

Xia Xin was a bit stunned, "Mr. Fu is also going to L City, what a coincidence?"

Jiangli acknowledged, "He has a business trip to L City, so we can share a car and a flight. It’s quite convenient, so I agreed."

Xia Xin: "..."

Old ancestor, we’re not that broke.

But since Jiangli had already agreed to Fu Shiyan, Xia Xin didn’t say anything further.

Jiangli then explained to Yan Guofeng that they would leave for the airport at noon, with a flight at 1 PM.

Yan Guofeng nodded, indicating he understood.

Yan Guofeng instructed his parents to stay at Jiaoyang Temple and not wander off until he returned.

In an unfamiliar place, anything could happen.

The elderly Yan Sanqiang couple seemed anxious, staying in an unfamiliar environment always made them uneasy.

But for Yan Guowei’s sake, they couldn’t stop Yan Guofeng and the others, so they just nodded.

After their chat, Jiangli asked, "Are you familiar with L City? Or do any of Yan Guowei’s friends from the trip live in L City?"
