Chapter 12: You Are Afraid
A strange look in Qin Chu's eyes was quickly received, and he had already changed to his usual casual smile before the other party noticed it.
"Call you stupid, you're really immodest. He said, "I didn't want to say it, I was just afraid that you would be betrayed and implicate me." β
In an instant, the smile was swept away, and his expression was the same as that of the rest of the Qin family.
"Go downstairs to eat. β
"Who is waiting to see me at dinner downstairs?" Xu Youran said unhappily, "I'm afraid I'll be full of anger as soon as we meet, I'm not a masochist." β
"Don't worry, it won't. In the end, I was afraid that she would not believe her, so I added, "I promise." β
"Then ...... Give you another chance. β
Qin Chu opened the door with a smile, "Go faster, or do you want to go downstairs alone?"
If a person goes downstairs with too big a target, she will definitely feel the Qin family's "love" for her in all directions, and Xu Youran was frightened and sped up.
It's just that when she came down, she found that she had been deceived, and she didn't eat at all.
The Qin family in the living room is also here at this time.
I don't know if it's to ease the atmosphere, the second uncle Qin Lie turned on the TV, and the channel he tuned to happened to be broadcasting a variety show that had recently become popular, and Xu Youran recognized Lin Tian with a sweet smile on the screen at a glance.
Although the show seems to be very lively and can adjust the atmosphere of a family at this time, today is the death day of Qin Xian and his wife, which obviously will only anger Old Man Qin.
So Qin Lie quickly changed the channel.
In such an embarrassing environment, Xu Youran was sitting on pins and needles, and his eyes didn't dare to look around and meet the sight of the Qin family.
It didn't take long for him to hear his eldest brother Qin Ci get up, "I'll pick it up." β
The rest of the people nodded, as if they all knew what Qin Ci was picking up except for Xu Youran.
Walking a nasty person, the low air pressure around Xu Youran's body decreased slightly.
Then, the Qin family left the living room one after another for various reasons.
Xu Youran felt more comfortable.
She finally relaxed her tense nerves, took out her mobile phone and opened a game to pass the time.
When dinner made her impatient and not even interested in playing games, she found Xiang Qin's dialog box and asked her about the recent situation in the restaurant.
Xiang Qin said that there has been a bit of a situation recently, which is about the publicity of the restaurant.
Xu Youran had already considered this, and she was going to wait until she returned to City A next week to try the chef's cooking first, and then carry out a series of processes later, so she asked Xiang Qin to put the matter of publicity aside for the time being.
The two communicated some questions again, and other details will be discussed later.
After chatting about work, Xu Youran opened Weibo a little bored, swept it for a second and looked up.
Except for a nanny not far away, the Qin family hasn't come back yet.
Xu Youran didn't have time to retract her gaze, because the nanny walked over to her, her expression was a little impatient, as if she had finally made up her mind after hesitating for a long time.
"Miss Xu, can you do me a favor?"
"Huh?"
The nanny hesitated for a moment before speaking, "There was a dish that I accidentally knocked over just now, and now I have to remake it, but I still have to go get wine." β
Xu Youran understood the other party's embarrassment, and then got up, "Did you take the wine?"
The nanny looked grateful and said, "There's a wine cellar in the basement. β
Anyway, it was idle, Xu Youran agreed, and listened to the nanny describe the appearance and approximate placement of the bottle of wine, and then set off.
It's just that when she got to the basement, she was confused.
There are only a few miscellaneous items and collections in the basement, where is the wine cellar?
However, looking at the appearance of the nanny, it is indeed a request for help in a hurry, which is difficult to do.
She had no choice but to take out her mobile phone and ask Qin Chu for help.
[You have a wine cellar in the basement?]
Thinking that Qin Chu was most likely called by his grandfather to talk about his heart again, Xu Youran did not have any hope that he would reply to the news as soon as possible.
Who knew that Qin Chu would return in seconds.
[Yes, it's a basement, but the door is on the east side of the house, so you have to enter from the outside of the house, what do you want to do?]
[Go get the wine.] ]
This time, Qin Chu didn't reply to the news, Xu Youran walked out of the villa and walked eastward, only to find the wine cellar that was connected to the villa but was particularly short.
Because the front of the wine cellar is not in a straight line with the whole villa, and there is a view in front of it, this wine cellar is very hidden.
Xu Youran pressed the switch on the wall, and after the door opened, he entered the wine cellar.
The cold wind outside was whistling, Xu Youran couldn't find the location according to what the other party said, and the cunning wind also took the opportunity to enter the open door, which made her feel excited.
She jumped to her feet with cold, rubbed her arms together with her hands, and trotted to close the door first.
Suddenly, the room was filled with darkness.
The lamp is actually broken?
Xu Youran felt even more headache, frowned and turned on the flashlight on his mobile phone, and called Qin Chu while looking for it.
As soon as the phone was connected, Xu Youran directly grasped the initiative, "Where are you?"
"If you don't see you for a while, you miss me?" probably heard the impatience in Xu Youran's tone, Qin Chu also accepted it when he saw it, and said seriously, "In our room, the company's artists ......"
She directly interrupted, "There is a bottle of wine, probably a round bottle, which is under the innermost shelf after entering the door, and I haven't found it for a long time." β
"What are you looking for, what's the matter, so angry that you get drunk?"
Xu Youran has been looking for so long, although she doesn't want to give up halfway, but now that the lights have exploded, she can only go home.
Just as he was about to hang up the phone, Xu Youran's pupils shrank suddenly, and a light and shadow flashed in his eyes.
No, none of this is a coincidence.
Why did the Qin family leave so suddenly, and the nanny just knocked over the dishes and asked her to help?
It all points to one point: she's been rectified.
It was she who was careless, and she actually ran out to find wine, but judging from Qin Chu's performance, he shouldn't have known about this whole behavior.
But not necessarily, Qin Chu has always had good acting skills.
The Qin family is really naΓ―ve, this kind of way of rectifying people has only been seen in elementary school.
Xu Youran tightened her plush shawl and paced out, but fortunately, she found it in time.
She was about to hang up the phone with one hand and press the door with the other.
When pressed, the door did not receive the same signal as it did just now.
Press it again and wait for three seconds and still no response.
Qin Chu on the other end seemed to have said a lot when she was inattentive, and seeing that she didn't react, he continued the topic just now.
"Since you can't find it, don't look for it. β
"Qin Chu. Xu Youran's tone was calm, "Give you three seconds to end this prank." β
There was silence for a long time, and then I suddenly understood something, and there was a vague smile coming from the earpiece, as if I couldn't hold back or couldn't hold back.
Xu Youran was about to scold back, when he heard him speak, "There is a power outage, there is a power outage in every area here." β
She was stunned, "Do you think I can't get out now, so I can't verify that what you said is a lie?" Then you say, why is it so coincidental that you are all gone, and the nanny asked me to help you get the wine?"
Qin Chu was impressed by her powerful brain replenishment ability, and replied helplessly: "The eldest brother is going to pick up the eldest sister-in-law, and the grandfather is looking for me to talk to the second uncle about the Qin family's business, and the power outage is also real." β
"Then this door, is there any other way to open it than pressing the switch?"
"Electricity should come soon. β
The two were silent for a while into the microphone.
After a long time, Xu Youran finally accepted the fact that he was unlucky.
She let out a long sigh and sat down on a small wooden box, about to hang up the phone, when she heard a faint sound from there.
"Xu Youran. He said, "Are you afraid of ghosts?"
ββ¦β¦β
If Qin Chu didn't mention this stubble, Xu Youran didn't think about it, but he wasn't too afraid.
Xu Youran gritted his back molars, "Qin Chu, did you do it on purpose?"
A chuckle reached her ears.
"Turns out you're scared too. There was undisguised schadenfreude in his tone, as if he had grabbed her sore foot, "Then I will also do a good deed today, chat with you, and you will not be afraid." β
Xu Youran admitted that this was true, because chatting with Qin Chu would only make her anger skyrocket, and she didn't have time to scare herself.
So she didn't hang up the phone this time.
"I remember you just assured me that your Qin family would never be overtly hostile to me anymore. β
"yes, so they weren't very hostile just now. β
"......" Xu Youran was angry and injured internally, "Your mouth is so cheap." β
"So we were a natural pair. β
For a while, neither of them started a new topic.
The long silence made Xu Youran's thoughts suddenly empty, and she raised her eyes to look at the dark space in front of her, and the top of her head was cold.
An eerie sense of terror crept from the bottom of her heart, and then quickly led to her limbs, sending chills down her spine.
As if sensing something, Qin Chu in the earpiece asked her, "What's wrong?"
In the face of life and death, Xu Youran temporarily let go of their petty hatred and hatred, and asked in an extremely small voice, "Qin Chu, when will the electricity come?" Or I'll just tear down the door, and I'll find someone to reinstall it for your house when I go back." β
The fear in her tone made Qin Chu feel a trace of tenderness in his heart, and he was amused, so he quickened his pace.
"While it's true that you've done this will make my grandfather even less willing to see you, I can't bear to leave the door open for a long time and ruin some of the aging inside. β
Although Qin Chu said this, Xu Youran could also understand him, after all, the value of some wine collections could not be measured by money.
It's one thing to make Old Man Qin dissatisfied with her, but it's another thing to make a feud with the other party.
She said softly, "You really slam the door, but fortunately it's not cold here, it's just that sitting here always feels that there is a wind blowing in your head, Qin Chu, your family shouldn't make trouble......"
The grievances of wealthy families, under the surface of wealth and wealth, may hide countless lives.
"Look up. β
"You want to scare me again?"
Qin Chu laughed out loud, "I mean, you look up to see if there is a gas window on the wall, if you feel cold, don't sit under the air window." β
Xu Youran, who heard the reason clearly, was a little embarrassed, she cleared her throat, "It's not cold, but it's ......" She frowned, and her eyes subconsciously turned to the left and right, "Why do I think your voice is so close?"
Qin Chu, who was outside the wall, leaned against the wall, and also sat down under the air window, bent one leg and put one hand on his kneecap, "Nonsense, why aren't you close with your mobile phone?"
Xu Youran was worried that he would talk stiffly again, so he simply looked for a topic randomly, "You always let me stay away from the Qin family, can you give me a reason?"
After a pause for a few seconds, Xu Youran thought that he had stepped on Qin Chu's secret.
"Because everybody here is a wolf in sheep's clothing. Qin Chu said with a smile.
