An Xiaochu was very satisfied with the price of the house, and with Cui Cui and the real estate agent beside her agreeing, she nodded and decided to sign the contract to rent the house.
"I'll just rent it for a year." A year should be enough time for her to find a stable job.
An Xiaochu took the contracts from the sales lady's hands and carefully looked through them one by one. Cui Cui saw that An Xiaochu was looking at the house so seriously that she would occasionally circle the house with her pen. She couldn't help but feel a little guilty, wiping the sweat off his forehead. She and the sales lady were exchanging glances.
"Sure, sure." An Xiaochu looked through all the contracts, and after checking, she did not find anything amiss, she picked up the pen on the table and signed her name.
As she lifted the tip of her pen, Cui Cui's anxious heart fell into place as well.
Before An Xiaochu signed the contract, she had already planned to not be a servant of the Qin family. She was going to pay the rent with the twenty thousand dollars a month.
With her plan in mind, An Xiaochu walked out of the realtor with satisfaction.
After bidding farewell to Cui Cui, An Xiaochu once again returned to the beach to spend the rest of her vacation.
The week of leave Qin Ziang had given him was already over today, so An Xiaochu knew that it was time for him to return.
After tidying up her belongings, even though she was extremely unwilling, she still walked out of the small room by the sea.
"Miss An." When the deep and mellow male voice entered her ears, An Xiaochu's footsteps paused, she suddenly raised her head and looked forward, and this look nearly scared her to the point of running away.
Three black Bentley cars were parked on the beach, and the men in suits stood in a row in front of the cars, erect and imposing.
"Yao..." Steward Yao. " An Xiaochu's tongue was tied, "You … What are you all doing? "
Qin Ziang had made such a big fuss, what was he planning to do now?
"Miss An, the Young Master said that your vacation is over, and told me to come specially to bring you back." Steward Yao revealed a kind smile.
An Xiaochu was surprised: "How did your young master know I was here?"
"This …" She did not intend to answer this foolish question. Even if An Xiaochu moved her toes, she should be able to think of it.
"What?" An Xiaochu suddenly thought of something, and immediately gritted her teeth, "Qin Ziang actually sent people to spy on me?"
Her voice rose by several decibels, especially when she shouted the three words "Qin Ziang".
"Bastard!" Taking advantage of Qin Ziang's absence, An Xiaochu scolded him unafraid of death. He immediately felt much better in his heart.
However, this action caused the men standing in front of him to be scared stiff.
"Cough cough, Miss An …" Steward Yao laughed coyly and took out a handkerchief from his jacket pocket. The sun by the sea was a little bright, shining its sunlight on his bald head and making it especially bright.
"Miss An should just obediently return with us. This is the young master's order, we cannot disobey it, and I hope that Miss An will not make things difficult for us subordinates."
The corner of An Xiaochu's mouth twitched when she heard her. Damn Qin Ziang, he couldn't wait to grab her and go back to work after she had finished her stiffness faked. Fine, fine, then don't blame her for being impolite!
An Xiaochu cleaned up her expression from before and calmly picked up a pebble from the ground, weighing it in her hand.
"Miss An?" When Steward Yao saw her expression, he was shocked.
Did she want to resist?
Steward Yao shook his head and sighed: "Since Miss An isn't willing to cooperate with us, then we can only take forced measures."
He made a gesture, and the men in suits next to him rubbed their hands together.
Seeing that the situation was bad, An Xiaochu panicked: "Wait!"
Steward Yao told his subordinates to stop.
"Steward Yao, do you know what I've been doing these past few days?" An Xiaochu suddenly changed her face and looked at the person in front of him with a smile.
"Miss An, I don't have much patience to chat with you." Steward Yao frowned, he did not know what she was up to. But what he was sure of was that at this point, no matter what move she used, it would all be in vain.
"Have you ever seen a bomb?" An Xiaochu's voice floated over along with the sea breeze.
Steward Yao was startled, and all of his subordinates looked at each other in dismay.
"Bombs, bang!" An Xiaochu acted vividly, and something impressively appeared in her hands.
Steward Yao looked at the person in front of him with uncertainty, he took out a handkerchief and wiped the sweat on his forehead.
An Xiaochu raised up the round object in her hand, disagreeing with it. "I have been a physicist since I was young, in these few days of being bored, I have researched and made myself a small bomb to play with."
"…"
"However, we have not tested it yet. Since you have come today, why don't you join me in witnessing it?" An Xiaochu's smile slowly deepened, his tone full of ridicule.
Hearing the words "bomb", Steward Yao's face suddenly changed, turning white.
"Butler, just now Miss An said … There's a bomb. " whispered someone behind him.
"I'm not deaf!" Steward Yao took a deep breath.
In that moment, everyone's eyes were focused on the bomb in An Xiaochu's hands, their attention also focused on An Xiaochu's hands. Steward Yao's heart was hanging high in the air, afraid that she would accidentally drop the bomb, or else he would get excited if she were to … Throw the bomb.
On the other side, An Xiaochu did her best to hold back her laughter, causing her to whistle excitedly.
An Xiaochu raised her wrist to look at her watch, raised the bomb in her hand high up into the air, narrowed her eyes and aimed it at Steward Yao, then threw it out forcefully.
"The bomb is here!"
"Get down!"
The faces of the men paled, and with a "whoosh", all of them crouched on the ground, leaving only Steward Yao standing alone in the sea breeze.
"Butler!" Someone exclaimed.
After a few seconds, the sea was still calm and the tourists on the beach were playing as usual.
Steward Yao stared straight at the water ball at his feet, his fists clenched so tight that his bones creaked. He endured his anger, gritted his teeth and said, "Chase after him!"
Upon hearing that, everyone immediately looked up, to the front of the hut by the ocean, where was An Xiaochu?
An Xiaochu carried her luggage and ran into the house.
"Miss An." The real estate agent instantly recognized An Xiaochu.
"En, today is the day of the marriage, right?"
The real estate agent revealed a polite smile, "Yes, but before you turn in the house, please pay the rent first."
An Xiaochu was surprised to hear that, "What rent? Didn't we say that we would be able to live in it as long as we pay the deposit of one thousand yuan? I'll pay the rest every week. I already paid the deposit last time. The invoice is still here, do you want me to show it to you? "
As she spoke, she crouched down and went into her luggage to look for the invoice.
"Miss An must have made a mistake." A crafty smile flashed in the real estate agent's eyes, but her tone remained calm. "Please read the contract carefully."
Hearing her words, An Xiaochu frowned, and took out the rental contract she signed last time.
"Look here." The real estate agent tapped the paper.
The content of this clause was: If Party B (An Xiaochu) is unable to pay twenty thousand dollars in one day, at the end of the month, Party A (Landlord) will pay five hundred thousand, and Party C (Real Estate Agent) will pay ten thousand.
Seeing such a treaty, An Xiaochu was stunned on the spot as if she had been struck by lightning. "Impossible, just what is going on here?"
She wanted to force herself to calm down. An Xiaochu knew that she had fallen into the trap set up by the landlord. Where could she find so much money now?
She thought about it for a long time, but nothing came of it.
Cui Cui! Cui Cui's figure appeared in her mind.
Without much time to think, An Xiaochu took out her phone and called Cui Cui.
One second, three seconds, five seconds … In just a few short seconds, An Xiaochu felt that it was exceptionally long.
"Hello?" Just as she was about to give up, the phone finally connected, and Cui Cui's confused voice came out.
"Cui Cui, where are you now?" An Xiaochu asked anxiously.
The person on the other end of the line clearly paused for a moment, as a stuttering voice with an unpleasant sound could be heard, "I …" It's not convenient for me right now, do you need anything? "
"Something's happened!" An Xiaochu recounted the situation regarding the contract to Cui Cui in detail, her tone filled with anxiousness.
"Cui Cui, what should I do now? Don't you know the landlord? Can you help me talk to him? "I will definitely pay for the rent …"
"Du, du, du …" Before she could finish, the call was cut off.
An Xiaochu took a long time to recover from her shock, and her heart fiercely thumped once.
Cui Cui, she... She actually hung up on me? She was hanging up at this time. Could she be with the landlord?
Thinking about that, An Xiaochu took a deep breath and shook her head fiercely. No, Cui Cui had helped her before, she did not believe she would do that kind of thing.
An Xiaochu felt a splitting headache, she didn't know how to resolve this matter. If the defendant were to go to court at that time, relying on this contract, he would definitely lose.
A dangerous place, a dangerous place! He could only blame himself for putting too much trust in others.
After sighing and lamenting, An Xiaochu regained her senses. She picked up the contract in her hands and studied it carefully, hoping to find some clues.
An Xiaochu used her finger to stroke the paper. No, that can't be right, the feel of these paper's quality is different from the last contract, could it be that … The contract had been swapped?
After coming to such a conclusion, An Xiaochu was stunned.
Who in the world would do such a thing?
An Xiaochu stroked her forehead. Forget it, the most important thing right now is how do I collect so much compensation.
Twenty thousand, five hundred thousand … The corner of An Xiaochu's eyes twitched in anger. Damn it, if she found out who tricked him, she, An Xiaochu, would never let this go!
"Miss An, there are still a few days of time. Are you going to pay it all in one go today? Or even slower? " The real estate agent smiled, but in An Xiaochu's eyes, it was a different kind of ugly expression.
