Chapter 370 Random Encounter in Service Area (Ch 370)

After learning that Qi Jia had returned to Shanghai, Lu Yang and Liu Dehua called immediately.

During the Spring Festival, “Shock Wave 2” and “Assassination of Novelist” were released at the same time.

So far, the word of mouth and box office seem to be good, but Qi Jia was absent from the roadshow, which made many viewers feel regretful.

The two called him just to ask him to take time out to attend the roadshow.

“Brother Hua, I’m sorry, but I can’t help myself now and can’t turn back.”

Qi Jia held the steering wheel with both hands, looked ahead, and said loudly,

The familiar Cantonese voice of Andy Lau came from the phone.

“What? Have you put on the golden hoop of Guanyin Bodhisattva and can’t turn back?”

“I didn’t put on the gold hoop, but I’m on the highway now, and the traffic law doesn’t allow me to turn back.”

“High speed?” Liu Dehua was a little surprised: “Didn’t you just finish recording a variety show? If you’re not at home resting, where are you going?”

Qi Jia glanced at Zhang Ruonan who was sitting in the passenger seat, chuckled twice, and said,

“Accompany the ugly wife back to meet her parents”

Zhang Ruonan rolled his eyes and didn’t beat him up because he was driving.

“Oh~” Liu Dehua was surprised for a moment, then laughed and said, “Then you behave well, I won’t bother you anymore, bye”

Seeing the call was hung up, Zhang Ruonan pointed to the front and said,

“Come into the service area, I want to wash my hands.”

“Okay~” Qi Jia turned the steering wheel, and the BMW i8 flashed the right turn signal and drove into the Qingjiang Service Area.

It was 17:08 at this time. It was still about 25 kilometers away from Zhang Ruonan’s hometown, which was more than half an hour’s drive.

Park your car.

Qi Jia handed a mask to Zhang Ruonan.

“Put it on, or I’ll have to rush into the ladies’ room to get you out.”

“okk~”

Zhang Ruonan obediently put on her mask and got out of the car. Qi Jia followed closely behind her and they walked into the service area side by side.

Two minutes later,

Qi Jia came out with a can of Dongpeng, stood at the door and stretched comfortably in the hot sun.

After driving for several hours, his butt was a little sore.

The original plan was to take the high-speed train, but we had a lot of luggage and gifts, so we just drove.

Anyway, there are no highway tolls during the New Year period and there will be no traffic jams.

After waiting for a while, seeing that Zhang Ruonan had not come out yet, Qi Jia decided to go back to the car and sit down.

As a result, when I was about one or two hundred meters away from the car, I saw a man and a woman from afar, curiously looking at my BMW i8.

Probably another couple who likes cars, Qi Jia smiled and stopped, leaving the time for the two of them, without going up to disturb them.

He is no longer surprised by such things. Putting aside the power, the technological appearance of the BMW i8 is still very attractive.

Every time I take a break and drive this car out, I attract a lot of envious looks.

When he sees someone taking a photo with his car, he will stand far away like he is doing now, and wait for the passerby to leave before going up.

Thinking about it, Qi Jia felt a little touched and thought that he was really polite.

At this time, the couple who were standing in front of the car left. The boy got into a white Audi Q3 next to it, and the girl walked towards the service area.

Qi Jia then walked towards his car.

The two passed each other and walked a few steps. Suddenly, a voice with a hint of uncertainty in joy came from behind Qi Jia.

“Brother Qi?”

Then there was a tap on the shoulder.

Eh? Qi Jia looked confused under his mask. If he hadn’t been photographed, he wouldn’t have known the other person was calling him.

“I’m Zhang Ruoyao. Didn’t my sister tell you about me?”

“Where’s my sister?”

“Are you Ruoyao?”

Qi Jia turned around in surprise, took a closer look, and found that the other person’s eyebrows and eyes were really similar to Zhang Ruonan.

Zhang Ruonan had told him before that she had two younger sisters and a younger brother, and from oldest to youngest, they were named,

Zhang Ruoyao, Zhang Qianyi and Zhang Runte, they just didn’t expect to meet each other in the service area by chance.

“Hello” Qi Jia took off his mask and greeted his future sister-in-law with a smile.

Zhang Ruoyao snapped her fingers happily and said proudly, “My boyfriend and I just saw that car and it looked familiar. It has a Shanghai license plate, so we guessed it might be you. I didn’t expect it to be you. By the way, where’s my sister?”

“Your sister, here she comes.” Qi Jia raised his chin and nodded behind her.

Zhang Ruonan came out of the bathroom and saw Qi Jiazheng talking and laughing with a girl from a distance. She thought he had met someone he knew.

When Zhang Ruoyao turned around, she finally saw who it was.

“Why are you here?”

“My boyfriend and I went to Dong’ou, and I didn’t expect to run into you and Brother Qi at the service area by chance.” Zhang Ruoyao hugged Zhang Ruonan’s arm and said,

At this time, Zhang Ruoyao’s boyfriend saw the situation in the car and got out and walked over.

Zhang Ruoyao pulled him over and introduced him.

“Let me introduce you, this is my boyfriend, Sun Kai”

“Sun Kai, this is my sister Zhang Ruonan, and my sister’s boyfriend Qi Jia”

“Hello sister, hello brother-in-law”

It was obvious that the young man was very considerate. Calling him “brother-in-law” made Qi Jia very happy and he patted his shoulder hard.

“I didn’t even call him brother-in-law, why are you rushing to call me brother-in-law?” Zhang Ruoyao was afraid that her sister would be embarrassed, so she gently slapped her boyfriend.

“It’s okay, it’s okay, I don’t mind.” Qi Jia smiled and waved his hand.

Zhang Ruonan rolled her eyes, “You’re not her sister, of course you don’t mind.”

The four of them chatted for a while in the service area, then got into their cars and drove towards Dawushi Village.

Let me talk about two things.

At this moment, Zhang Ruonan’s home is almost catching up with the countdown to New Year’s Eve.

The house was crowded with people inside and outside. Apart from the relatives, most of them were from the village.

Everyone heard that the eldest daughter of the Zhang family and her big-name celebrity boyfriend were coming back, so they came early in the morning to wait, wanting to see what the big star looked like.

In the living room,

Mother Zhang, who was wearing a burgundy cheongsam and had a new hairstyle, was chatting with several elderly people in the family. The topic always revolved around Qi Jia and Zhang Ruonan.

In the kitchen, the atmosphere was bustling with activity and the spatulas were flying.

Zhang Ruonan’s grandfather walked in with his hands behind his back, looked around like a king, and nodded slightly.

When I came out of the kitchen, I saw Father Zhang circling around the door like a donkey pulling a millstone, so I waved him over and asked,

“Are the firecrackers and everything ready?”

Father Zhang wiped the sweat from his forehead and nodded.

“Don’t worry, Dad. I’ve asked Ant to wait at the entrance of the village. As soon as the car arrives, he will come back to report the news. We will prepare to set off the fireworks immediately.”

Yeah, Grandpa Zhang nodded.

“But Dad, isn’t that a bit too much? Should we put up another banner?” Father Zhang hesitated for a moment and said,

Grandpa Zhang glared and said unhappily,

“Why, you want to be so solemn, kneeling three times and kowtow nine times to welcome him, and shouting long live him? He is your son-in-law, not your father. I, your father, am standing here.”

Father Zhang nodded repeatedly after being scolded, and rubbed his hands nervously.

“That’s true, but she’s a big star after all, and she’s Ruonan’s boss. We’re marrying up, so I think we have to pay more attention to her…”

Grandpa Zhang frowned and cursed, saying,

“How can you be so high-minded!”

“If he really likes Ruonan, he won’t feel neglected even if we do nothing. If he doesn’t like Ruonan, no matter how much you do, it will be useless and you will be laughed at in the future.”

Father Zhang opened his mouth and was about to say something.

At this time, Zhang Ruonan’s uncle ran over with a spatula in his hand and asked anxiously,

“Brother-in-law, how long will it take for Ruonan and the others to arrive? The food is almost ready.”

“It’s almost done. Wait for me to call and ask.” When Zhang’s father heard this, he didn’t care about whether to delay or not. He quickly took out his cell phone and was about to call Zhang Ruonan.

Suddenly, several horn sounds were heard from the entrance of the village.

Then a small electric donkey came out at lightning speed and stopped at the door. Zhang Runte jumped off the car and shouted excitedly,

“Here we go, hurry up and get ready to set off some firecrackers.”
