Follow her? Heavens! She couldn't have met some rapist, right?

An Xiaochu looked around in panic, only to see many different types of passersby.

After all, this was in broad daylight. That person shouldn't dare to act rashly, right?

She calmed herself down, gritted her teeth, and turned into a nearby alley. There were very few pedestrians in the alley, so when An Xiaochu stepped on the uneven bricks, her heart was beating faster.

She didn't have the habit of putting on makeup, so that bandit shouldn't have any interest in her, right? Damn, I knew she wouldn't have worn a dress.

The strange feeling had not disappeared, but An Xiaochu was finally unable to hold it in any longer, and she pretended to unconsciously twist her neck backwards. Her eyes happened to meet the man behind him.

It was a man wearing a peaked cap. It was obvious that the man was caught off guard when she turned around. That person hurriedly pressed down the brim of his hat and put both of his hands into the pockets of his uniform.

An Xiaochu's heart thumped, she turned her head around in a sorry state, her chest heaving violently.

His sixth sense was right, she was being followed!

However, who was this person? Why was he being followed?

An Xiaochu knew that she didn't have enough time to think about it. Right now, the most important thing was to shake the weird man behind him off! After all, she didn't want to appear on the front page of the newspaper tomorrow morning with the title 'A girl with tricks and bewitched by perverts in an alley' …

An Xiaochu subconsciously quickened her pace. She changed her original route and walked out of the alleyway into another alley. In the alleyway that was filled with twists and turns, An Xiaochu walked very quickly, and because of that, there were a lot of pedestrians around him. The people behind him were obviously confused and lost their bearings, and they quickly lost sight of An Xiaochu.

He looked around and finally turned into another alley.

An Xiaochu hid behind a wall and counted to a hundred in her heart before she heaved a sigh of relief. She cautiously stuck out half her head and did not see the man again.

She finally managed to get rid of the man, but after going back and forth, she had no idea where he was. An Xiaochu rubbed her sore calves, walked to the road, and called a taxi directly to the plaza.

An Xiaochu ran around the coffee shop and found that it was extremely hot.

"Xiao Chu, here!" From a distance, An Xiaochu saw Cui Cui waving at her.

"Why are you so late?" Cui Cui laughed.

An Xiaochu pondered for a moment and decided not to tell Cui Cui about someone following him on the way.

After all, the other party's background was unknown, and she didn't know the ins and outs of the matter.

"It's rare to have a holiday, getting up late is normal." She laughed perfunctorily.

"Hello, two cups of latte." An Xiaochu called the waiter over, she turned and asked Cui Cui, "Do you want more sugar?"

Cui Cui hurriedly nodded her head, and waited for the waiter to leave before looking at the list on the table, and muttered: "Why is it so expensive, if she knew earlier, she wouldn't have come here."

"No problem, just treat it as my invitation." An Xiaochu arrogantly patted her chest. Suddenly, she realized something and her smile slowly froze on the corner of her mouth.

What the heck did she invite! He only had a few hundred dollars left in his savings. If Qin Ziang did not pay her when the time came, she could really go and eat the soil!

An Xiaochu pressed her forehead: "Cui Cui, what are you looking for me for?"

"Yes." Cui Cui nodded and went straight to the point: "Xiao Chu, do you want to rent a house outside?"

"Sure." An Xiaochu's interest was piqued. She had long considered this question, it was just that the A City was very tight, even renting a house was hard to come by.

"I have a flat here to rent, but it's a bit out of the way. Would you like to consider it?"

When the coffee was served, An Xiaochu waved her hands nonchalantly. "Aiya, the location isn't a problem. As long as the price is low. But these days houses are hard to find, even in the suburbs. Cui Cui, how did you find him? "

"Don't worry, the price is very low. I've seen the room too, it's pretty good."

"A house with a good shape would be cheaper? "Could it be …" An Xiaochu suddenly became quiet, she tilted her head and looked at Cui Cui, acting as though she was terrified, "Could it be that there is something unlucky in this house? Is it a ghost house? "A haunted house?"

Cui Cui immediately covered her ears with her hands. "Aiya, Xiao Chu, stop talking, I'm scared …"

An Xiaochu did not expect Cui Cui to be afraid of even this, and she could not help but find it funny: "So you're actually so timid. Alright, alright, I won't say anymore."

Cui Cui raised the coffee on the table and gulped it down, but she choked and started to cough.

After calming herself down, she said with a red face, "That's a friend's house. In a few days, their whole family will be leaving the country. They left in a hurry, so they were able to deal with it at a low price."

"Oh? So it's like that. That's a huge bargain for me. " An Xiaochu raised her eyebrows, her eyes flashing with light.

"So why aren't you thanking him for her good fortune?" Cui Cui smiled, and a strange look flashed past her eyes.

"Alright, thank you, my lucky great general, Goddess Cui Cui." Everyone in the Qin family will not like me. Other than you, Cui Cui, if you have anything you want to help in the future, just ask me. If it's something I can help you with, I will definitely help you. "

An Xiaochu's gaze was firm, and she could not help but be moved.

"Yes."

A man stood with his hands behind his back in front of a giant window. He was tall and his face was grave and stern. His pitch-black eyes seemed to be filled with a thick mist that was difficult to see through.

Behind the man stood a man wearing a peaked cap. It was the man who was following An Xiaochu during the day, and he was currently saying something with her head lowered respectfully.

"Young Master, Miss An has been in close contact with you. Young Master Su seems to be teaching you how to play the piano. This morning, Miss An hurriedly rushed out the door. I don't know who it was that I went to meet, but I ended up following her all the way, only to lose her later … "

"Lost them?" Qin Ziang turned around and looked at the person in front of him condescendingly, "You can't even do this kind of thing? What do I need you for? Does it support you in eating for free? "

His tone was as cold as the winter snow, and the man suddenly felt a chill run down his spine.

"Alright, pack up your things and leave. If I find out that you told me about what happened today, I believe you will know the consequences." Qin Ziang's voice did not carry any warmth.

As soon as his voice fell, the man immediately kneeled to the ground, shaking his head in fear as he begged for mercy, "Young Master, I …" I was wrong, you, please give me another chance. "

The light in Qin Ziang's eyes became heavy, and the frost in his eyes became a bit more severe. Seeing his increasingly cold expression, the man couldn't help but take a few steps back.

"Scram, I don't want to repeat the same words again." Qin Ziang's cold voice was full of impatience.

Although the man was unwilling, he was afraid of Qin Ziang. He immediately got up and crawled out of the office.

"Very good, An Xiaochu. You are smarter than I thought. This game is getting more and more interesting. Looking outside the window, Qin Ziang's slender fingers knocked on the desk, a demonic smile surfaced on his handsome face.

The next day.

An Xiaochu and Cui Cui called a taxi, and the taxi drove for half an hour before reaching its destination.

The house was located in the suburbs to the north of the city. There was nothing else in the area except a convenience store.

As far as the eye could see, the surroundings were wild weeds that looked as if they had been in the wild for a long time, but also like a wasteland that hadn't been developed yet.

After entering the district, he did not see many pedestrians along the way. An Xiaochu silently sighed in her heart: No wonder the price was so cheap, isn't it a little too desolate?

Her heart began to beat wildly.

As soon as the two stepped into the office, the receptionist came to them. It was a young woman wearing a standard business suit with a high bun. She walked with a straight back. It was obvious that she had been specially trained.

"Excuse me, is this Miss An Xiaochu?"

"Yes, I am."

"Hello, Miss An. I will be in charge of all the procedures for the house that you have set your eyes on." The woman smiled decently. "Please come with me and take a look at the house. I will talk about the matter of the rental house later."

An Xiaochu politely smiled and nodded. When the sales lady turned around, she immediately pulled on Cui Cui's clothes: "Your friend has put the house up for sale in the agency. The price must be a lot higher."

"Don't worry, let's go in and take a look. If you are interested, I can guarantee that my friend won't take any advantage of you. " Cui Cui pulled her and immediately left.

Along the way, looking at the desolate scenery, as well as the young miss who suddenly popped up in front of them, An Xiaochu's heart started to feel uneasy.

The group of people came to the door. The real estate agent took out a key to open the door, the choking dust blowing in their faces.

"Cough cough, are you sure that someone has lived in this room before?" An Xiaochu covered her mouth with one hand and rubbed her eyes with the other.

"It's just in the suburbs. The wind is strong, so maybe my friend didn't close the windows before he left." Without waiting for the real estate agent's reply, Cui Cui rushed to explain.

An Xiaochu entered the house and looked around. The style of the house was two bedrooms and a hall. Putting aside the dust, this room was actually quite good. It was ventilated from north to south, not too stuffy, and it had its own bathroom and kitchen.

"Miss An, this type of apartment is very popular. If it's in the city center, the price would be far more than this." The sales lady smiled as she explained the other advantages of the house.

"That's right, Xiaochu. You don't have any money right now, so you should just rent this house." Although this place is a little remote, but don't you usually like to visit your home? " Cui Cui agreed from the side.

Under the continuous barrage of persuasion from the sales lady and Cui Cui, An Xiaochu was slightly tempted.

Cui Cui glanced at her, she knew that she had an idea, and immediately turned to look at the sales lady: "Please bring the contract over for us to have a look."

"Alright!" The sales clerk ran in front of the counter with a "dong dong dong" and brought over a contract that had been prepared long ago.

An Xiaochu was a little surprised to see this contract.

Did the service here have to be so efficient?

Seeing that she was suspicious, Cui Cui immediately grabbed her arm and laughed: "I asked them to prepare the contract first, since the house's conditions are so suitable, Xiao Chu, what are you waiting for? This shop will not exist once you pass by this village. In the future, where would you be able to rent such a cheap house? "

"Yeah." Miss An, in a few days time the rent will be restored to its original state, and I don't know when it will be sold again in the future. Furthermore, the houses here are very popular, if you don't book it now, perhaps it will be rented out in the evening.
