Chapter Thirty-Eight: Seeing a Turnaround

Jian Xi returned to the manor, took a shower, and then turned on the phone!

As soon as the phone was turned on, there were several missed calls, as well as several WeChat!

There are 4 calls from Jian Mingyao, he doesn't want to pay attention to him, he can find her so persistently, it must be no good!

There are also two calls from Chu Ci, just now on the WeChat interface, there seems to be a message from Chu Ci! It should be that she hasn't replied to the message for a long time, so she called!

There is also a phone call, it is Lu Yueming's senior brother, I haven't contacted him for a long time! Mainly, Jian Xi doesn't know what to say to others! More importantly, Huo Zechuan seems to be a little hostile to Lu Yueming, and she can't harm Lu Yueming! So there has been no contact with him!

Jian Xi flipped to the WeChat interface, and sure enough, she saw the message that Chu Ci sent her!

At the top, there is a photo, which is a few new pastries, which are new pastries made by Chu's mother!

The appearance of the pastry is very beautiful, and when you look at it, it makes you very appetizing!

There's one more text below!

Chu Ci: Jian Xi, my mother has made a few new pastries, please come to the store tomorrow to taste!

Jian Xi is a super foodie, for food. She has never had much resistance!

For her, even if the knife is on her neck, she has to enjoy the food before she dies in peace!

So, Jian Xi directly typed a few words on WeChat!

"Okay, I'll go over and eat at noon tomorrow!" Then, send it out!

Then, she called Lu Yueming back again!

"Jianxi?" Lu Yueming asked!

"Well, senior brother, is there anything wrong with the call?" Jian Xi asked!

"It's nothing, just ask you, how are you doing?"

"It's good! Thank you for your concern!"

"By the way, Jian Xi, I'm going on a business trip abroad recently, do you have anything you particularly want, I'll bring it to you!"

"No need!

The two of them chatted awkwardly for a while, and then hung up the phone!

At this time, just in time, the housekeeper came knocking on the door, saying that dinner was ready, and asked her to go downstairs for dinner!

Jian Xi opened the door and walked out!

After dinner, Jian Xi returned to the room, turned on her mobile phone, and saw a WeChat message sent to her by her grandfather!

Grandpa is very cute: Little girl, I will be discharged from the hospital tomorrow, and in the future, you will not come to the hospital to see me!

Jian Xi read the message, and then replied with a good word!

The next day at work, Jian Xi went directly to the warehouse, sorted out all the files, and glanced at the time, it was already 11:00!

She came out and asked the aunt who was cleaning to clean the warehouse! Then she rushed to Chu Ci's shop!

As soon as I arrived at the door, a small sign hung at the door of the store attracted Jian Xi's attention!

She stopped and looked at the sign carefully!

At this time, Chu Ci, who had been paying attention to the movement at the door in the store, saw Jian Xi standing at the door at a glance!

He walked out and saw her looking at the little sign hanging in the doorway!

"Jian Xi, why don't you go in when you come?" he asked!

Jian Xi pointed to the small sign: "Is this house rented out?"

Chu Ci still didn't understand her words, so he looked at her like that!

"You want to rent a house?" he asked, somewhat uncertainly!

Jian Xi nodded, did not speak, indicating acquiescence!

Chu Ci scratched the back of his head: "Rent is not rented, it's just ...... That's our old house! in poor condition, in the old town, the environment is not good! not for you!"

As soon as Jian Xi heard him say this, a light flashed in her eyes! She hurriedly pulled Chu Ci into the store! That eager look made Chu Ci even more confusing!

Jian Xi pulled Chu Ci into the store, at this time, there were other guests in the store, the boss and the proprietress were very busy, just simply said hello to Jian Xi, and went to work!

Jian Xi glanced at so many people, to prevent too many people, she directly dragged Chu Ci out!

"Go, follow me!"

Looking at her eagerness, Chu Ci was a little funny, but he still followed her very cooperatively!

Finally, finding a secluded alley, Jian Xi stopped and forced Chu Ci against the wall, and she was standing in front of Chu Ci, like that, it was very similar to knocking Chu Ci on the wall!

Chu Ci's face flushed, this was the first time he had such close contact with Jian Xi, his heart was beating fast, as if he was about to jump out of his throat!

His Adam's apple moved unnaturally a few times and swallowed his saliva, but he didn't say anything, because he was so excited that he couldn't speak!

Jian Xi was a little funny when she saw him like this, she stood in front of him, and there was no further movement, and then, lightly opened her lips!

"Listen, Chu Ci, I want to rent this house of yours, but I have the conditions!"

Chu Ci was still a little distracted, but when he heard her say this, a touch of loss crossed his heart, but soon, he covered it up!

"Well, you say!"

"The condition is that I will not sign a contract with you, I will pay the rent in cash, and, to the outside world, you can't tell anyone that I rented your house! You know? You have to keep it a secret for me! This is very important!"

After Jian Xi finished speaking, he looked at Chu Ci!

Chu Ci looked like a stupid scholar who had been bewitched by a female goblin, so he could only nod his head stupidly and agree!

Jian Xi was satisfied, and she continued to speak!

"I rent there, in addition to helping me keep it secret, please buy some food every day and send it over, because it is inconvenient for me to come forward, don't worry, I will give you 30% more rent!"

Chu Ci still nodded stupidly!

Seeing him like that, Jian Xi knocked on his head with his hand!

"Silly?"

Chu Ci came back to his senses at this time, happiness came too suddenly, and he was a little overwhelmed!

"Don't mention the money to me if you rent it, don't worry, I will go over every day, and I promise to keep it secret for you, and I won't let anyone know, including my parents!"

With his assurance, Jian Xi was relieved, and a big stone in his heart fell to the ground!

"Thank you, but you must collect the rent, otherwise, I won't rent your house!"

Jian Xi insisted on paying the rent, but Chu Ci couldn't refuse, because he was also afraid that Jian Xi would find someone else to rent a house, so he nodded and agreed!

Then, he leaned lazily against the wall and raised an eyebrow!

"Jian Xi, can you tell me why you did this?"

Jian Xi shook his head, and then looked at him with extremely serious eyes!

"Chu Ci, the less you know about my affairs, the better, so it's good for you and me, you just need to remember to keep it secret for me!"

After a pause, she continued!

"I'll let my grandmother stay for a week or so, and then I'll go!

"Okay! don't worry!I will!" Chu Ci agreed!

"Thank you!" After Jian Xi finished speaking, he patted Chu Ci's shoulder: "We'd better meet as little as possible on the surface!" I'll go first, please tell your uncle and aunt to thank them for their pastries!

After she finished speaking, she turned around and left, still driving her little electric donkey!

Jian Xi knew that this electric donkey was her best tool to escape from Huo Zechuan! Huo Zechuan's car had a location inside, and when the time came to track it here, it would be a failure!

Chu Ci watched the butt of the little electric donkey she was riding disappear!

He knew that this girl must have encountered some difficulty, otherwise, she would not be so cautious!

She didn't want to tell him, so he silently helped her do what he could, as long as it didn't ruin her plans!

Back in the store, the proprietress took the time to see that only her son was back, and glared at him with some hatred!

Chu Ci saw that his mother liked Jian Xi so much, he was also very happy, and he didn't say anything, so he went to help!

By 2 p.m., the rush hour had finally passed, and by this time, the diners had gone!

The proprietress questioned her son while mopping the floor!

"Where's Jian Xi? Didn't you say to try my new pastry? What? You two go out, and you are the only one who comes back?"

Chu Ci walked over, took the mop in his mother's hand, and continued to mop the floor!

"Mom, if you still want to see Jian Xi in the future, just do business in the store honestly, don't ask questions, and don't tell anyone, we've seen Jian Xi, understand?"

When the proprietress heard this, she knew that things were a little big, so she quickly grabbed the mop that her son was mopping the floor and asked him not to move.

"Son thief, you tell your old mother and me, is Jian Xi in trouble?"

Chu Ci nodded: "Yes, so, don't ask, this is the best way to protect Jian Xi! Also, don't mention the matter of renting out our old house!

The proprietress nodded quickly, and then, remembering something, quickly ran out, took off the small sign hanging at the door, took it into the store, and put it under the board!

When Jian Xi rode a small electric donkey, when she passed by the mall, she originally wanted to buy a new mobile phone, but when she thought about it, there were still a few days, and she rested her mind again! Because she was afraid of being discovered by Huo Zechuan!

Back in the company, she called Gu Yanxi first!

However, Gu Yanxi didn't answer!

Gu Yanxi should have something! Thinking so, she didn't pay attention to it anymore and continued to go to the warehouse to sort out the information!

By the time she came out of the warehouse, she was almost off work!

At this time, Gu Yanxi's call was late!

Jian Xi slid the answer button: "Gu Yanxi?"

"Jian Xi, are you looking for me?" Gu Yanxi asked!

"Well, can you buy me a mobile phone? and the number, I can't ...... this phone," she said, pausing, and then adding, "You understand!"

"Yes!" Gu Yanxi replied very cheerfully!

"In a few days, I'll contact you then, that's all!"

"Good!"

In a few short sentences, the whole thing is fully expressed, and the degree of tacit understanding between girlfriends can be seen, and there is no need to repeat it!
