"It smells so good …" The reaction of a human's body was extremely exquisite, the tip of the nose following the tempting fragrance of Guan Dong's cooking, subconsciously gulped.
She hasn't had dinner yet!
She stood at the entrance of the convenience store hesitating for a few seconds, but An Xiaochu still stepped in.
She had counted four hundred and fifty-eight dollars and fifty cents in her pocket, plus an ID card. She had to live off the money before she could find a new job.
An Xiaochu wandered around the store and carefully compared the prices of the various goods, but she still did not know what she should buy.
Until the end, when all the salespeople at the convenience store suspected that she was not one of the "spies" sent by the other stores, An Xiaochu finally let go of the bread in her hands in embarrassment and walked out the door.
The discount sign on the counter showed that the bread was about to expire.
Looking at the sky outside, An Xiaochu's eyes showed difficulty.
"Do you want to buy something or not?" The shop assistant who was following An Xiaochu just now was speaking, and the impatience within the words was extremely obvious. An Xiaochu blushed for two seconds and then casually picked a bread to pay the bill.
Under the disdainful gaze of the shop assistant, An Xiaochu took the loaf of bread and sat down in the resting area.
The cooking pot was placed not far from her, and the rich fragrance attracted all of An Xiaochu's attention.

"Young master, what's wrong with you today?"
When Qin Ziang went upstairs with a darkened face, the Steward Yao asked in bewilderment. If he remembered correctly, the young master was still in high spirits before he left, how did he become like this in just an afternoon?
The bodyguard at the side did not want to speak at first, but who was Steward Yao? He could even deal with Young Master Qin, who was so hard to serve, let alone a small bodyguard.
"I'm not too sure either. After Young Master asked Miss An to go to the mall, he didn't let us follow. He even said that he would give us a half-day leave. However, after a short while, the young master suppressed his voice and called us. "
The bodyguard lowered his head and answered truthfully.
"Why did the Young Master call you?"
The older the better, the easier it was for Steward Yao to grasp the key information in the bodyguard's words!
"That's right, that's right, he's the one who told us to find the flower shop owner, the one behind him hehe …"
The bodyguard touched the back of his head uncomfortably. Recently, he had been helping the Young Master Qin bully this little miss.
"An Xiaochu is out of work again?" How could the Steward Yao not know of her young master's methods? Although these words seemed to ask a question, it was actually just a confirmation.
"Yes, as for why young master is in a bad mood, I think when they were shopping in the market, Miss An provoked him."
An Xiaochu's guts were huge, and she was so devoted to others that it was reasonable for her to offend Young Master Qin.
After receiving confirmation, Steward Yao glanced at his bodyguard and returned to his room.
The bodyguard who was on duty was completely baffled.
"Why is this child so stubborn!"
The Steward Yao sighed, took the phone from the side, and called An Xiaochu.
"Switch off your phone!" A string of blind sounds resonated in his ears. Steward Yao frowned and his movements of going to bed slowed down as well.
It was not too late yet, it was definitely not time for An Xiaochu to sleep. Thus, if her phone was turned off for no reason, then something couldn't have happened to her!
No, no, no. She was already an adult and her life force was super strong, so there definitely wouldn't be any accidents.
But no matter how strong and unyielding she was, she was still a little girl. Even a man wouldn't be able to stand such frequent 'jokes' from her, let alone such a delicate girl!
The two thoughts clashed in Steward Yao's mind, but in the end, it was still the old people's pity and their love for An Xiaochu that gained the upper hand.
Steward Yao received the news that An Xiaochu was safe and sound twenty minutes later.
"How did he lose his luggage, boy!"
The Steward Yao could no longer sit still and quickly left the room.

When Steward Yao came in, An Xiaochu did not immediately notice it.
She was currently eating an extremely dry and astringent bread to fill her stomach, as well as constantly hypnotizing herself. This was a delicacy on earth.
A box of steaming, fragrant Guan Dong stew appeared in front of her.
An Xiaochu looked up along with the steam coming from Guan Dong. It was a hand with flesh hanging down.
"Steward Yao, why are you here?"
An Xiaochu did not believe that the Steward Yao was like him, needing to come to this convenience store to spend the night.
"I came to look for you. I came to eat while it was still hot."
Steward Yao sat down next to An Xiaochu, and also conveniently moved the boiled Guan Dong over to An Xiaochu's side, and directly placed it in front of An Xiaochu.
He saw it in the car just now, An Xiaochu stared at Guan Dong's cooking and was not willing to buy it even after a long time.
Thinking about it here, Steward Yao felt that this young girl was pitiful.
"Thank you, no need. I'll just eat this." An Xiaochu waved her hands to reject it, and directly stuffed the bread that she despised a moment ago into her mouth.
If it wasn't for Qin Ziang making a ruckus, she wouldn't have lost his job and ended up eating bread in the convenience store in the middle of the night.
Now that Qin Ziang's butler suddenly appeared, what did he mean by that, she still did not understand. His hands were soft, but his mouth was short. If she had suffered too much at Qin Ziang's hands, she wouldn't be so foolish as to not be on guard.
"Child, you really are stubborn. If your personality had been a bit softer, young master wouldn't have …"
Steward Yao had watched Qin Ziang grow up and understood his true nature.
"Nothing, it won't directly disrupt my work, or will it not kidnap me? All sorts of schemes?"
Hearing Steward Yao talk about Qin Ziang made An Xiaochu angry.
He asked a few questions back with an extremely harsh tone, making Steward Yao, who was usually good with words, speechless.
"Did you find out that the young master made you lose your job?"
When Steward Yao, through the window, saw An Xiaochu's pitiful appearance, the remaining hesitation in her heart immediately disappeared. She felt that she should help this girl and let her know the truth!
But he never thought that An Xiaochu would actually know about it beforehand!
"Yes, your young master is a lunatic. He was fine when we met in the afternoon, but when you turned around, your illness worsened." "What, did he ask you to come and see my miserable appearance on the streets?"
Besides this explanation, An Xiaochu couldn't think of the second reason why the Steward Yao was here!
"You misunderstand, Xiaochu. I came to see you myself, it has nothing to do with young master. Originally, I wanted to tell you one more thing, but looking at your appearance, it seems that you already know about it. "Sigh …"
Ever since he found out the truth, the Steward Yao started to take pity on An Xiaochu.
"What do I know? Your young master is a bastard, yet he is still so vicious? "
An Xiaochu accidentally glanced at Steward Yao's tired face, and her tone of voice subconsciously improved a little, and she no longer spoke to him. But when she mentioned Qin Ziang, she still had an expression that made him want to bite Qin Ziang to death.
Steward Yao was speechless, the back of his hand was just meat, An Xiaochu kept scolding Qin Ziang in front of him, it was really not appropriate!
Even though he felt that Qin Ziang had really gone overboard this time!
"It's getting late, do you want me to find a place for you to rest?"
Steward Yao thought for a bit, and his gaze couldn't help but glance at An Xiaochu's face.
"You want to take me back to the Qin family again? I won't go even if I have to sleep on the side of the road!"
An Xiaochu still couldn't understand the thoughts of the Steward Yao! To think that she was feeling a little guilty earlier. He felt that he shouldn't have been so rude to an old man, but now it seemed like it was unnecessary!
The Steward Yao had clearly come under orders to send her back to the Qin family. This was probably also why Qin Ziang made her unemployed.
As long as she completely lost the ability to survive outside, she would have no choice but to obediently return to the Qin family to be ravaged by him! Of course, it would be best if he could give that broken key to Qin Ziang!
"Xiaochu, don't be willful. Look at your current environment. A girl like you doesn't have a job or a place to stay. Your luggage is also gone. Do as I say, do not go against Young Master Qin, Young Master Su has already given up on struggling, why are you still being stubborn! "
Young Master Su? Su Di?
Why did it involve Su Di? Could it be that Su Di's abnormality was related to him!?
"What do you mean Young Master Su gave up on struggling? What did that bastard Qin Ziang do to Su Di? "
An Xiaochu slapped the bread in her hand onto the table, her delicate face filled with anger.
Qin Ziang, this pervert, was even more so for a stranger like her, a bastard who wouldn't even let Su Di go, since he was his friend!
Pooh — no, that kind of person doesn't deserve friends!
"You don't know?"
Hearing An Xiaochu's words, and hearing her attitude, she clearly felt that she already knew about it!
"If you have something to say, then say it."
She could accept Qin Ziang using such a perverted method on her. In any case, her life was not afraid of torture. But when it was placed on Su Di's body, she would only need to think about that gentle looking man with a face full of bullying.
Be a good foundation friend and change as you wish!
"Young Master has been pestering you because of the key, you know? He knew that your temper was not that easy to control, so he went to the Young Master Su and used an antique chess book in exchange. Let him approach you, and let your defenses drop so that he can find out where the key is. So the bad luck you had earlier was mostly caused by the young master. The goal was to create an opportunity for the Young Master Su to approach you. "
As she said till here, the Steward Yao looked at An Xiaochu with pity. He had a completely composed face, and not as angry as he expected.
Steward Yao couldn't figure out what she was thinking, so he just stopped talking. The reason he came here today was to tell her the truth, so that she would no longer be played around by the young master and Young Master Su.
"There's more."
Actually, An Xiaochu was also surprised by her calmness.
Perhaps, when a person's anger reached its peak, that person would be completely calm, and then wait for a trigger point before completely exploding forth!
