Chapter 4

After escaping from Wen's house, Gu Xue went straight to the station and got on a long-distance bus bound for Heng City.

If the Wen and Gu families found that Gu Xue was missing, they would definitely try to find someone, and their first step would definitely be to search within the sea market, so Gu Xue had to leave the sea market as much as possible.

Hengshi is not far from Haishi, about two and a half hours by car, although Hengshi is not as prosperous as Haishi, but has a beautiful scenery in the south of the Yangtze River, many tourists come here every year. At this time, just after the National Day holiday, the number of tourists is obviously much less than before the holiday, and the whole city looks quaint and quiet.

Gu Xue got off the long-distance bus, found a snack bar nearby, ate something casually, and then began to find a place to stay. She didn't have an ID card and couldn't stay in a regular hotel, but then again, even if she could, she couldn't afford to live, and before going out, she gave most of the cash and jewelry to Xiaojuan, and she only had 200 yuan on her.

After walking for a long time and asking for a long time, I finally found a small hotel in an alley where you can stay without identity registration.

Gu Xue paid the accommodation fee at the front desk and went to the second floor with the key.

The staircase is an old wooden staircase, which creaks as soon as you step on it, and the situation in the guest room is not much better than that of the stairwell, with mottled walls, dark floors, a little stain on the sheets, and a musty smell in the air.

However, Gu Xue didn't mind, for her, it was already very good to have a place to stay.

Lying on the hard bed, Gu Xue began to think about what to do next? After buying the ticket and paying for the accommodation, she has little money left in her pocket, and the immediate priority is to find a job to make ends meet.

But she doesn't have an ID card, so it is estimated that it is difficult to find a decent job, and she is unwilling to do those jobs that are not decent. After some hard thought, she finally decided that she should go back to her old job. Look at people's faces, tell fortunes, and maybe even eat with a mouthful of food.

Thinking about it, she felt her eyelids getting heavier and heavier, and last night because of the engagement, which kept her awake all night, then the tiredness suddenly hit her, and it didn't take long for her to fall into a deep sleep.

******

At this moment, the Wen family, who was far away in Haishi, had already exploded.

On the eve of the engagement ceremony, Wen Minxuan went upstairs to find Gu Xue, and he was accompanied by a group of fox friends and dog friends around him. He stood outside the house, knocked on the door for a while, and when he saw that there was no movement inside, he pushed the door and went in.

However, the situation inside the house really scared him.

I saw a girl in a dress fall to the ground, trapped by hemp rope several times, and she lay there motionless, as if unconscious.

Wen Minxuan thought that this person was Gu Xue, so he hurriedly ran over and picked her up, and when he took the person into his arms, he saw clearly that the other party was not Gu Xue, but Xiaojuan, the maid of the Gu family.

After Gu Xue left, Xiaojuan stayed alone in the house, although she was tied, her consciousness was always awake, and it was not until she heard a knock on the door that she deliberately closed her eyes and pretended to be unconscious.

Xiaojuan didn't expect Wen Minxuan to hug herself, her face turned red, from her cheeks all the way to her neck.

Feeling Young Master Wen's warm body temperature and smelling the faint fragrance of cologne on the other party's body, Xiao Juan's heart fluttered, and she couldn't pretend to be any longer, she slowly opened her eyes, pretended to look around in a daze, and then opened her mouth in a daze, "What's going on?" How can I ......"

Speaking of this, she slammed and raised her hand to support her forehead, "My head hurts so much." ”

Wen Minxuan untied the rope for the other party, then slowly got up and looked at Xiao Juan on the ground condescendingly, "Say, what's going on?" Where's your young lady? ”

When the Gu family and his wife got the news and rushed over, there were already a lot of people gathered in the room, Wen Jiaxian and Shen Yifang were standing in the middle of the room, their faces were a little ugly, seeing that their in-laws were coming, Shen Yifang smiled reluctantly, nodded and said hello.

Gu Zhiwei couldn't care about the politeness anymore, he rushed directly to Wen Minxuan, and asked anxiously, "I heard that Xiaoxue is gone?" What the hell is going on? ”

Wen Minxuan glanced at the people on the ground, "You repeat what you just said again." ”

With so many people coming in the room at once, Xiaojuan was already very nervous, and at this moment, when she saw the old lady, she was even more panicked. She sat on the ground stupidly, not even daring to stand up, for she was afraid that her legs would be weak and she would not be able to stand steadily.

"Xiaojuan, you are talking." Seeing that she was stunned and didn't speak, Gu Zhiwei couldn't help but urge.

Xiaojuan's body trembled, and she opened her mouth tremblingly: "I...... I had been in the house with the young lady, and at about 11 o'clock, the young lady suddenly hit me with a stool, and then I fainted, and when I woke up, I found myself wearing the young lady's dress, and my whole body was tied with rope. ”

Hearing these words, Gu Zhiwei's face turned white. A few days ago, when he heard Gu Xue say that she didn't want to get engaged, Gu Zhiwei thought that she was playing with the eldest lady's temper again, in order to prevent the other party from acting willfully, he ordered the servant to keep an eye on Xiaoxue, and also sent security guards to patrol at night. He thought that everyone had arrived at the Wen family, so it should stop now, right? Unexpectedly, such a thing happened.

Gu Zhiwei and Yu Zhilan glanced at each other and found that each other's faces were ugly. Gu Zhiwei was so angry that he couldn't speak, how could he give birth to such an unfilial girl? The Gu family's face has been lost to her.

In contrast, Wen Minxuan was quite calm, he stared at Xiaojuan for a while, and said coldly: "Let me ask you again, where is Gu Xue?" ”

"I ...... I didn't know, I was knocked unconscious, and then I didn't know anything. Xiao Juan kept her head down, not daring to look directly at the other party's gaze.

"Really?" Wen Minxuan snorted coldly, "She has already knocked you unconscious, why do she still tie you up with a rope?" ”

"Probably...... Probably because the young lady was afraid that I would wake up suddenly and report to you, so she tied me up. ”

"I don't think it's that simple." Wen Minxuan shook her head and hooked her lips contemptuously, "She is doing this to excuse you, making everyone think that she did this alone, and it has nothing to do with you." After all, tying with rope is more convincing than mere pretending. ”

Xiao Juan raised her head suddenly, her eyes full of panic, "I didn't pretend to be dizzy, I was indeed knocked unconscious by Miss." ”

"Will a comatose person know to blush?" Wen Minxuan squatted down and stared at Xiao Juan coldly, "Why did your face suddenly turn red when I hugged you just now?" ”

His eyes seemed to be covered with a layer of frost, making people shudder, Xiaojuan's heart was pounding, I don't know if it was because of fright, or shyness, she felt chest tightness and shortness of breath, almost out of breath, "I don't know, I don't know." ”

Wen Minxuan stood up and picked up a canvas satchel from the table, and Xiao Juan's face changed when she saw him take her bag. Wen Minxuan turned the satchel upside down, shook it a few times, and a large pile of jewelry fell out of it and smashed it on the floor with a clang.

Wen Minxuan's eyes became even colder, "Where did these things come from?" ”

Xiaojuan was completely stunned, she didn't know when Wen Minxuan turned over her bag, and she didn't expect that this gentle and elegant Young Master Wen would be so fierce.

At this moment, Xiao Juan was already convinced of Gu Xue's words, and she believed that Wen Minxuan would definitely be able to do anything to beat people.

"These ...... These are Xiaoxue's jewelry. Yu Zhilan, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly opened her mouth, "Xiaojuan, how can these jewelry be here with you?" ”

Wen Minxuan's previous series of questions had completely destroyed Xiaojuan's psychological defense, she cried out and knelt in front of Yu Zhilan at once, "Madam, I'm sorry, it was Miss who asked me to do this, Miss said that as long as you help her escape, she will give me these jewelry." ”

She ...... Why did she run away? Yu Zhilan's voice trembled, there were too many things that happened today, she was afraid of hearing any more amazing news.

Xiaojuan cried so much that she choked up and replied, "Miss said that Young Master Wen beat her, so she doesn't want to get engaged to Young Master Wen." ”

As soon as these words came out, all the people present were stunned, Wen Jiaxian and Shen Yifang looked at each other, Gu Zhiwei and Yu Zhilan were completely dumbfounded, and the group of fox friends and dog friends who came up with Wen Minxuan had different expressions, among them, some were surprised, some were suspicious, and even worse, they simply gloated and waited to see a good show.

"What nonsense are you talking about? When did I hit her? Wen Minxuan's face changed with anger, he has always shown himself as an elegant person, but today, someone accused him of beating his fiancΓ©e in public, and he couldn't swallow this breath.

Xiaojuan was already crying, her eyes were full of tears, and she couldn't see how ugly Wen Minxuan's face was, she said stupidly again: "Miss has a big bruise on her leg, she said that she was kicked by Young Master Wen, and she also said that the old lady didn't believe her words, and she had to marry Young Master Wen, so she begged me to help her escape." ”

Wen Minxuan laughed angrily, "I've been busy with work recently, and I've only seen her a few times in total, and besides, it's all in the Gu family, how can I kick her?" ”

Xiao Juan was confused, but Gu Zhiwei's mind was sober, he knew that it was impossible for Min Xuan to do something to Xiao Xue, because there was no time and no place, and this was a lie made up by Xiao Xue. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but scold Gu Xue again.

Wen Minxuan's face was calm, and the joy of engagement was long gone. He wasn't worried that the Gu family would misunderstand, because he knew that they wouldn't believe it.

But it's hard to say about the group of fox friends behind him, these are good things, on weekdays, you can pick out something if you have nothing to do, this time something like this, I don't know what it will be rumored.

He really didn't understand, where did he offend Gu Xue, the other party actually treated him like this? Is it because of the Chasil incident?

Wen Minxuan secretly swore that he would find out Gu Xue and ask him face to face.

He looked at Xiao Juan again and asked with a cold face, "Where is Gu Xue now?" ”

"I really don't know, Miss didn't tell me." Xiaojuan simply regretted dying, she knew that this would be the result, and she would not have promised Miss to be killed.
