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

At first, An Xiao looked around in panic, but all she saw were all kinds 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. When An Xiaoxiao first stepped on the uneven bricks, her heart thumped non-stop.

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 peculiar feeling did not disappear. An Xiao was finally unable to endure it any longer. She pretended to unconsciously twist her neck backwards. His 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 as she turned her head awkwardly, her chest heaving violently.

His sixth sense was right, she was being followed!

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

At first, An Xiao knew that she didn't have time to think about it. Right now, the most important thing was to shake off that weird man behind her! 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 unconsciously quickened her pace. She changed the original route, walked out of the alley and turned into another alley. In the winding alley, An Xiaoxiao walked quickly at first, and with so many pedestrians around, the person behind her was obviously disoriented. Soon, she could no longer find An Xiaochu.

He looked around and finally turned into another alley.

An Xiao hid behind a wall and counted to a hundred 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 Xiao rubbed her sore calves and walked to the road. She called a taxi and went straight to the square.

The coffee shop was running cold. An Xiao had been running all the way, and it just happened to be hot.

"Xiao Chu, here!" In the distance, An Xiao saw Cui beckoning to her.

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

An Xiao thought for a moment and decided not to tell Cui Cui that someone was following her.

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 and asked Cui Cui, "Do you want more sugar?"

Cui Cui nodded her head in a hurry. After the waiter left, she looked 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 patted her chest and suddenly realized something. The smile slowly froze on the corner of her mouth.

What the heck did she invite! He only had a few hundred yuan in savings. If Qin Zian didn't pay her when the time came, she could really go eat the dirt!

Feeling depressed, An Xiao pressed her forehead. "Cui Cui, what business do you have with me?"

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

"Sure." An Xiaoxiao's interest was piqued. She had been considering this problem for a long time. However, the housing source in A city was tense, so it was hard to find a place to rent.

"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 Xiao waved her hands disapprovingly. "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 it? "

"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 …" At this point, An Xiao suddenly spoke up in a low voice, she tilted her head and looked at Cui Cui, pretending to be frightened, "Don't tell me there's something unlucky in this house? Is it a ghost house? "A haunted house?"

Cui Cui immediately covered her ears, "Aiya, Xiao Chu, don't say anymore, I'm scared …"

An Xiaoxiao hadn't thought that Cui Cui would be afraid of even this. She couldn't help but find it funny. "So you're actually so timid. Alright, alright, I won't say anymore."

Cui Cui took the coffee on the table and gulped it down, but she choked and kept coughing.

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 Xiao raised her eyebrows, her eyes twinkling.

"So why aren't you thanking him for his good fortune?" The corner of Cui Cui's mouth curled up, a trace of strangeness flashed past her eyes.

"Alright, thank you, my lucky great general, Goddess Cui Cui." Everyone in the Qin Family doesn't like me. Aside from you, Cui Cui, if you need any help in the future, just tell me. If you can help, I will definitely help you. "

An Xiao had a firm look in her eyes, and Cui Cui couldn't 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 had followed An Xiaochu during the day. He was talking about something with his head lowered respectfully.

"Young Master, Miss An and Young Master Su have been very close recently. Young Master Su seems to be teaching Miss An how to play the piano." "This morning, Miss An rushed out to meet someone. I followed her all the way, but I lost her …"

"Lost them?" His cold voice echoed in the room. Qin Zian turned around and looked at the person in front of him condescendingly, "You can't even do such a small 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 Zian'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 darkened, and a few traces of frost appeared in his eyes. 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 Zian's icy tone was filled with impatience.

Although that person was unwilling, he was still fearful of Qin Zian. He immediately staggered up and scrambled out of the office.

"Very good, An Xiaochu. You are smarter than I thought. This game is getting more and more interesting. Looking out of the window, he tapped the desk with his slender fingers. A devilish smile appeared on Qin Zian's handsome face.

The next day.

An Xiao had just caught a taxi with Tsui Tsui, and the taxi took more than half an hour to reach 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 sighed in her heart: "No wonder the price is 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.

"May I ask if this is 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 Cui Cui's clothes. "Your friend has put the house in the agency. It must have been a lot more expensive."

"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 away.

Along the way, as she looked at the barren scenery around her and the sudden appearance of this real estate agent in front of her, an unexplainable unease rose up in her heart.

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." Before the sales lady could reply, Cui Cui rushed to explain.

At first, An Xiao entered the house to take a closer look. The style of the house was two bedrooms, one living room. 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 quite 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 persuasion of the real estate agent and Cui Cui, An Xiao was somewhat tempted.

Cui Cui glanced at her, and knew that she already had an idea, she immediately turned her head to look at the sales lady, "Could you please bring the contract over for us to see?"

"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.

When An Xiao first saw the contract, she was slightly surprised.

Did the service here have to be so efficient?

Seeing that she was suspicious, Cui Cui immediately took her arm and laughed: "I asked them to prepare the contract first. After all, the house's conditions are so suitable. 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." The real estate agent next to her smiled and advised, "Miss An, the rent will be restored in a few days' time. We don't know when it will fall again, and the houses here are very popular. If you don't book it now, it might be rented out in the evening."
