After Su Qiao An and Chu Shixiong finished talking, the worry in his heart dropped to the floor.
What she wanted to do next, was only Chu Shixiong. She didn't expect Chu Shixiong to be so reasonable, even if what she wanted to do would harm the benefits of Chu Family, Chu Shixiong would still support her.
This was probably the only thing she could feel comfort from in the past few years of her Chu Family.
After she and Chu Shixiong finished their conversation, she went back to her room and stayed the whole morning.
Su Qiao An hid in his room. Without her permission, he did not dare disturb her.
After carefully bringing the food in, she came out again. In this period of time, Su Qiao An acted as if he did not see her, with empty eyes and a dazed look.
Qiao Er was very suspicious, what was going on with Young Mistress? Ever since that day he said that he would go out and come back, it was as if he had become a completely different person.
Qiao Er did not dare to disturb Su Qiao An, nor did he dare to go upstairs.
Su Qiao An stayed in her room and thought for a long time. She still wanted to have a good talk with Zhu Jiangci, if it was still not possible, she would make the deal.
It was around one in the afternoon when Su Qiao An left in a hurry with everything he had.
Su Qiao An took the bus and went to the Tulip Tower first. This place was to be developed, it would no longer exist in the future, and all her memories would be buried in the yellow soil.
When she had first come to this city full of yearning to live, her bad fate with Zhu Jiangci had started from here, and then it had completely ended here.
Whether it was reaching an agreement or a complete break with Zhu Jiangci, this was the last time she would calmly and clearly explain the situation.
"Young Mistress, why don't you wait in the car?" The driver that sent Su Qiao An to the tube building was a little worried when he saw the old building.
Su Qiao An shook his head, "No, I'll go upstairs and wait."
"But it will be hard for you to climb the stairs with your big stomach. I see you just wait in the car. It won't be too late for you to get off when the young master arrives!"
"It's fine, I can handle this distance." She needed a quiet and secretive space to negotiate with Zhu Jiangci. It would be inconvenient for her to have a driver here.
"Then I'll send you up." the driver said.
Su Qiao An did not refuse. After getting off the car, he allowed the driver to help him up to walk her to the door, and then looked around: "Young Mistress, there's no one living here. Is it a little unsafe for you to be here by yourself?"
"Then wait here with me for a while." The driver straightforwardly agreed. Su Qiao An quickly found a cloth and wiped off the dust on the table and chairs, letting Su Qiao An sit down. Then, he moved a small stool and sat at the entrance to guard it.
Su Qiao An sat inside the house and waited quietly, occasionally glancing at his phone.
It was already five o'clock, Zhu Jiangci still hadn't arrived.
They had waited here for more than an hour, but the person who should have shown his face had not appeared, and had not shown up for a long time.
Su Qiao An frowned, after hesitating for a long while, she stopped at the dialing interface, the screen became black and then lit up again, pressing again and again for it to go out, repeating nonstop.
He did not call them, but remembered what Jiang Kerou had said last night when she called them. He could not help but laugh bitterly, as he might call them now to delay their good fortune.
"Young Mistress, who are you waiting for? It's already dark now, if we go back later, the road won't be peaceful! " The driver followed Su Qiao An and waited bitterly on the streets. The cold wind blew for an hour, and now that the sky was almost dark, if they did not go back, it would be too late.
Su Qiao An frowned, "Wait a little more."
She gritted her teeth and dialed the number.
"Sorry, the user you dialed is turned off …"
Shutdown?
What did Zhu Jiangci mean by closing his phone? Could it be that he was unwilling to come?
"I can't take it anymore, Young Mistress. I need to get some clothes from the car. It's too cold today." The driver couldn't stand the cold anymore and stood up abruptly.
Su Qiao An swallowed his saliva with difficulty and gave a light grunt.
Because of the demolition, the building was lively before, but now it was frighteningly deserted. There were almost no residents left.
Right now, only Su Qiao An was left as the driver. He didn't feel anything just now, but now that the sky had turned dark, he started to panic.
Su Qiao An was unable to get through to Zhu Jiangci's phone. The house was leaking wind, and the cold wind was blowing through.
The only light in the room that could be turned on wavered. The electric current was unstable.
"Pa Da Pa Da"
The sound of steady footsteps slowly approached. Su Qiao An felt a chill down his spine, and goosebumps rose all over his body.
Who is it?
Zhu Jiangci or... Driver?
Su Qiao An supported himself up from the table with much difficulty.
It was too quiet, so quiet that the cold wind blowing outside the window was like the howls of the evil spirits that came from the Hells of Flame. The sound of approaching footsteps was like … Like the countdown of the god of death, that person slowly approached them.
The footsteps came from the left, and their car was parked on the right side of the building. The only way to get up here was by the right side of the stairs, so it wasn't the driver!
Su Yun looked around, and saw the greyish porcelain bottle on the table, he extended his hand out and took a few steps to hide to the side.
The footsteps were getting closer and closer. When the footsteps stopped in front of the door, Su Qiao An held his breath, staring at the door nervously and uneasily.
There was a creaking sound even when the door was pushed open.
When those two feet appeared in her line of sight, Su Qiao An held onto the bottle tightly and looked up along the foot.
The man wearing a mask and a peaked cap only revealed a pair of pitch-black eyes as he scanned the room with a sinister gaze.
After looking around but not seeing Su Qiao An's figure, the man walked in. Su Qiao An silently calculated how likely it was that he would succeed in escaping from the hiding place to the door.
He held his breath and carefully inched his way toward the door, afraid of causing any noise.
Suddenly, Su Qiao An's phone started to vibrate. She was startled.
In a daze, the man quickly turned his head. Seeing Su Qiao An who was almost at the door, a sinister look flashed past his eyes.
Su Yun used all his might to throw the bottle in his hand towards his opponent, he quickly pulled open the door and escaped, supporting himself on the wall while shouting for help, his body was heavy, he could not even run if he wanted to, at the stairs, his hand was grabbed by his opponent.
The man had a lot of strength and pulled forcefully, pulling Su Qiao An from the back with the intent to drag him in. In a moment of desperation, Su Qiao An grabbed onto the other party's hand and fiercely bit down, causing blood to continuously ooze out.
The man gasped. He loosened his grip on her in pain and pulled on Su Qiao An's long hair, forcing her to loosen her mouth.
Su Qiao An's scalp hurt, and he unconsciously let go of his mouth. The other party kicked him with force, causing his knees to go weak, causing Su Qiao An to roll down the stairs.
