Chapter 21: Looking for a needle in a haystack
The first reaction was that Ran Xixi thought that he was sleepy and was sleepwalking.
But the voice from outside was so clear that it was impossible for her to hear it clearly. Every word they said, all desperately drilled into her ears.
She immediately stood up and went to the kitchen door to check on the situation, but accidentally knocked over a bottle of soy sauce on the counter.
Ran Xixi wasn't sure if the people outside would hear the sound of the soy sauce bottle breaking, but she didn't care about cleaning up the mess, because what Zhan Xingchuan and Qiao Rachel said became more and more explicit, and there were all kinds of ambiguous kisses, her mind was in chaos, and the only thing she could do was to run away from the door.
Therefore, the door knock that Qiao Rachel vaguely heard was indeed the sound made by Ran Xixi running out of the door, not an illusion.
"That, Miss Ran, you eat slowly, don't worry, drink saliva. ”
Frightened by Ran Xixi's eating, the girl hurriedly brought a cup of hot milk tea and pushed it to her hand.
Ran Xixi didn't look up, she stretched out her hand to take it, she didn't even try the heat and cold, she just took a big sip, and the result was that she was so hot that she almost vomited out.
"Ahh
The girl screamed, turned back and shouted loudly towards the kitchen. Her boyfriend hurriedly brought an ice cube over and asked Ran Xixi to take a piece of it in his mouth immediately, so as not to burn his tongue.
"It's so late, why are you alone on the street. What about Mr. Zhan?"
The couple asked curiously, although they had only met Ran Xixi once, they knew that her relationship with Zhan Xingchuan was extraordinary. The last time Zhan Xingchuan came to their store, he also mentioned her, and his face was full of happiness. Not only that, but he did what he said he would, and sure enough, he offered a start-up fund to help them keep the store afloat.
Strange to say, since then, the business in the store has been getting better and better, and with the money, the young couple is thinking about renting the shop next door, opening up the two rooms, redecorating, and expanding the area.
Therefore, for them, Zhan Xingchuan is undoubtedly a great nobleman.
Ran Xixi didn't speak, and continued to eat the pasta in a big gulp, as if he hadn't heard it, but his eyes were slightly red, and he inhaled again and again, as if he was burned by the cup of hot milk tea just now.
"Ah, the pizza is almost ready, I'll get it!"
Seeing that she didn't want to say more, Ah Kun hurriedly shouted and hurriedly ran to the kitchen, leaving Ah Shan to sit down opposite Ran Xixi alone, looking at her cautiously.
It seems that she is in a bad mood, so she wanders the street alone. Ah Shan thought that she had quarreled with her boyfriend before, and when she was so angry that she couldn't do it, she would rush out of the door and walk on the street to her legs, and she forgot to bring her wallet, and she couldn't even buy a bottle of water.
She looked at Ran Xixi's empty hands, and couldn't help but guess that she must have been in too much of a hurry when she went out, and she didn't even bring her wallet and mobile phone.
"Freshly baked, I added double cheese, it must be delicious!"
Ah Kun brought the pizza, Ah Shan helped cut a piece and put it in front of Ran Xixi, she didn't refuse, she started directly, and took a big bite.
Seeing that she was so hungry, she must not have even eaten dinner.
The two of them glanced at each other, both of them were a little helpless, and more were curious, not knowing what was going on, so they could only sit silently and wait for Ran Xixi to finish eating.
After eating the food on the table, Ran Xixi finally spoke: "I'm sorry, I forgot to bring my wallet, I'll transfer it to you tomorrow, you can send me the account." ”
Ah Shan immediately waved her hand: "No, no, no, you can eat if you like, don't mention the money." Besides, the business in the store has been good recently, please have a meal, we can still afford it now, hehe. ”
Hearing this, Ran Xixi didn't insist anymore.
She glanced at the clock in the store and realized that it was getting late. Also, Zhan Xingchuan didn't come back early, it was already not early when he took Jo Rachel into the door, and after she left from the "puppet", she wandered on the street for a long time before she met Ah Shan's little couple, and now that she has finished eating, it will naturally be another hour later.
"Thank you for bringing me back, I'll go first, so I won't delay your rest. ”
After speaking, Ran Xixi immediately got up and walked outside.
Seeing that she was leaving, Ah Shan and Ah Kun were very uneasy, and immediately chased after her and wanted to send her home.
"I don't want to go home. ”
Ran Xixi reacted for a second, and immediately shook his head.
Although most people want to go back to their own nest to slowly heal after being hurt, she is different, she doesn't want others to see her so embarrassed side, especially Zhan Ruijue, he is still so young, Ran Xixi doesn't want to show his hatred for Zhan Xingchuan in front of him and destroy the relationship between their father and son.
However, after this incident, she really hated him, even more than before.
She really wanted to know who he couldn't find when there were so many women in the world, and why he had to find that one.
Ran Xixi was reluctant but had to admit that because the woman Zhan Xingchuan brought back was the one she brought back, so she would collapse even more, so collapsed that she didn't even want to look at it more, she didn't even want to listen to it, the only thing she could do was to leave immediately, leave the place where they were there, and she didn't even want to breathe a breath of common air!
She knew that if the woman brought back by Zhan Xingchuan was someone else, she would be sad, but maybe she wouldn't be as depressed as she is now, and she would be a walking corpse.
"No, don't you go home, then, do you want me to call Mr. Zhan and let him pick you up?"
Ah Kun looked puzzled, and took out his mobile phone as he spoke,
"Don't!"
Ran Xixi woke up like a dream, and immediately screamed, her expression became extremely hideous in an instant: "Don't tell him! Don't let me hear even a word about this person again!"
Looking at her appearance, Ah Shan understood something, she tugged Ah Kun and motioned for him to put away his phone.
"Okay, then we'll help you find a nearby hotel, you stay first, get a good night's sleep, and talk about anything until dawn, okay?"
She asked softly, and Ran Xixi nodded, her expression softened: "Thank you." I'm sorry, I didn't mean to lose my temper just now, I just ......"
As she spoke, she covered her face with her hands, her shoulders trembling slightly.
Ah Shan stepped forward, hugged her gently, and whispered comfort in her mouth.
With their help, even though he didn't have his wallet and ID card with him, Ran Xixi soon moved into a nearby hotel. The scale of the hotel is not large, so the registration at the front desk is not very strict, and Ah Kun used his own documents to open a room smoothly.
"Do you want me to stay with you?"
Ah Shan asked softly, and Ran Xixi shook her head in refusal.
"I'm embarrassed now, thank you. Please don't let a third person know that I'm staying here tonight and I'll be leaving tomorrow morning. ”
She sincerely asked, Ah Shan had no choice but to nod and leave the hotel with Ah Kun.
After they left, Ran Xixi's strength seemed to have been taken away, and she couldn't disguise it anymore, she leaned against the door and stood until her legs were numb, her body slid down little by little, and finally sat on the ground.
Not only physical strength, but even thoughts have been cleared, and the feeling of lightness and emptiness is like dying, making people feel as if they are floating in mid-air, and they deeply feel that they have difficulty breathing and their heartbeat slows.
The feeling of despair, like a tidal wave, came closer and thicker......
Finally, Ran Xixi shouted, holding his head tightly with both hands, and let out intermittent whimperes in pain. She curled up on the ground, shrinking herself to the smallest with all her might, wishing to disappear into the world completely.
Pictures kept flashing in front of her, and even the sound of men and women laughing in her ears was heard, and she couldn't stand it anymore, struggling to get up and rushing into the bathroom.
The bathroom is not big, there is no bath, only a shower room. Ran Xixi twisted the water valve hard, and in the chaos, she didn't even look at the heat and cold, so she let the cold water pour down and beat her up.
Shivering from the cold, she seemed to be awake and stopped crying.
With her hands brushing her face, Ran Xixi was dressed and stood on her back under the shower, she could hide her crying with the sound of water, and vent her emotions in this strange room unscrupulously.
The car was driving at a constant speed on a very busy street, and the driver tried to keep the car close to the sidewalk, Zhan Xingchuan kept looking out, holding his mobile phone tightly in his hand.
As soon as the phone shook, he immediately picked it up: "Did you find it?"
What was said over there, Zhan Xingchuan immediately showed a disappointed expression: "Continue to investigate." Also, she didn't bring a wallet and an ID, you go and ask, is there any woman who wants to check in at the hotel, but doesn't have documents. ”
With that, he hung up the phone and continued to look out.
The driver couldn't help but speak: "Mr. Zhan, Zhonghai is so big, we are looking for it on the street like headless flies now, and we may not be able to find it at dawn!"
Zhan Xingchuan also knew this, but he really didn't know what else to do now.
"Let's go back to the road ahead. ”
He pointed forward and said in a deep voice.
Even if it was looking for a needle in a haystack, Zhan Xingchuan rubbed his sore temples and widened his eyes, not letting go of any young woman walking on the street, for fear of missing Ran Xixi's figure.
As he watched intently, his phone rang again, and he immediately picked it up.
"Yes, isn't it Mr. Zhan? I, I'm Ah Shan, Ah Shan and Ah Kun who opened the store, do you remember?"
Ah Shan asked hesitantly, after all, he has only met two or three times, and the other party is a famous entrepreneur, so it is very normal if he doesn't remember a little person like himself.
"Remember, is your business okay?"
Zhan Xingchuan had no choice but to cheer up and take the initiative to ask.
"It's okay. Actually, I mean to say, ...... tonight"
Before Ah Shan finished speaking, someone around her seemed to say something disapprovingly, and then snatched her mobile phone and said to Zhan Xingchuan: "I'm sorry, Mr. Zhan, Ah Shan is very reckless, she actually wants to thank you for helping us." It's so late now, we won't disturb your rest!"
After speaking, Ah Kun immediately hung up the phone.
