Chapter Ninety-Nine, Fear
Yan An spent a while convincing himself that there was such a thing as fate and providence in this world. Since she can live again, maybe Chao Zhen also has some ability to predict doom.
Sitting in the car, Yan An saw that Chao Zhen was still reluctant to take care of himself, so he finally leaned over with his soft body first, and said shamelessly: "Didn't you say that you came to pick me up, why did you come now?"
Chao Zhen pushed her away and said tiredly: "I arrived before, and I was delayed for some time." ”
"Delayed for what?"
"Road construction has to be approved. ”
What roads to build?
Boom, Yan An heard the sound of some behemoth collapsing. She remembered that she had been complaining to him about the road conditions here, but in fact, she had nothing to say, but he heard it all.
"Don't fix it for them!" Yan An said angrily: "Let them die here in poverty for the rest of their lives"
Wait! Did the news that Yu Shunkang heard before come from here?
"Do you still plan to find a project to support here?"
Chao Zhen glanced at her in surprise, and the meaning was obvious. It seems that Yu Shunkang's news is quite well-informed. Didn't he want to buy a house here and make a lot of money when the price of housing rose?
Yan An pulled the window and looked out, it was already pitch black outside, and she couldn't see anything, the only light was the headlights above her head. She turned around and tried to talk to Chao Zhen, but knocked a black bag off the back of her chair without paying attention. The zipper of the black bag was not tightened, and a wad of pink things fell out. She glanced at the person in front of her who was recuperating with her eyes closed, and carefully opened the zipper of her bag. It contained a huge amount of cash that she hadn't seen in her two lifetimes combined.
Far more than 200,000.
"How many are there?" she asked.
"I haven't counted. ”
Yan An was curious and asked him, "What if there is not enough here?"
Chao Zhen closed his eyes and pointed to a place. Yan An lowered his head and saw a black box under the seat in front of him. She took the box out and opened it when she saw it unlocked. In the not-so-bright environment, the contents almost blinded her eyes.
It is full of all kinds of jewelry accessories, Yan An can see at a glance, diamonds, jade gemstones, necklaces, bracelets, earrings, rings, everything.
Yan An opened his mouth and asked him, "Do you usually collect these?"
"Jiang Bai's. ”
Yan An carefully closed the box and said in horror: "Hurry up and put it away, don't drop it." ”
Chao Zhen suddenly opened his eyes and said, "Yan An, I'm scared. ”
"What are you afraid of?" Yan An asked.
Chao Zhen folded his hands on his chest, looked at the roof of the car with straight eyes, and was silent for a long time before he spoke: "Jiang Bai said that people just want money and won't embarrass you, as long as the money is enough, it's fine, even if you are insatiable, Xiao Kui has brought people here, and nothing will happen." ”
Yan An suddenly forgot that he had been pretending to be timid and timid, and asked him in a daze: "Then what are you afraid of?"
Chao Zhen tilted her head, her head still on the back of the chair, looked at her calmly behind the lenses, and asked, "What do you think I'm afraid of?"
If it was Chao Zhen in the previous life, she wanted to understand what he was afraid of. He was afraid that she would lie, that she would lie to him, that she would unite with someone and find some excuse to ask him for money. But now Chao Zhen, she really doesn't know.
The atmosphere in the car was quiet and solidified for a long time, Chao Zhen tilted his head back, and then closed his eyes. Yan An turned his head to look out the window, and saw that it was raining again, and the raindrops fell on the window, rolling out a water mark.
"Do you know......" Yan An suddenly spoke: "I also called Yu Shunkang and asked him to bring money to me." ”
The glass was foggy, Yan An opened the window a little, and the cold wind mixed with the rain drifted in. Yan An said calmly: "He asked me why I didn't die?"
The hand that grabbed the chair was grasped, Yan An needed to exert force to restrain the amplitude of her shaking, she saw her face reflected in the glass and pulled a smile, she said softly: "Guess why he appeared? Because he heard that the village was going to be opened, ** was going to support it, and he came to me to ask for the deed of my broken house." ”
The hand that came around the side of her neck wiped the tears from her face, and then hugged her.
"Chao Zhen, I thank you, if it weren't for you, I would have had a lot of trouble dealing with today's situation. I called you before Yu Shunkang, because I knew that you would definitely take care of me, and you would not ignore me. ”
"Hmm. ”
"I don't have any other family in this world except for my dry milk. Yan An sniffed and said, "Don't give them a good look, I hate them the most." ”
"Good. ”
Yan An's fingers slid down the falling raindrops, and she heard herself speak calmly and self-contained: "I don't want to suffer and be wronged anymore, you have to be good to me, you have to protect me." I want to live happily and decently. ”
"Good. ”
At ten o'clock, they trekked to the nearest county seat, where they were ready to rest for a while. Yan An helped the dry milk down from the car, and when he raised his eyes, Yu Shunkang's car had stopped in front of them, Yu Ke jumped out first and asked, "Do you want to rest here tonight?"
"Hmm. Yan An responded perfunctorily, and then heard Yu Shunkang say, "Isn't there a better place?"
"This place is not classy at all. Yu Ke complained in a low voice, and then listened to Dong Xin say: "This is the county seat, and this is already the best place." ”
Yu Ke glanced at Chao Zhen cautiously and asked, "Really?"
Chao Zhen ignored her, took the room card and walked forward with dry milk. Yan An was stopped, and Yu Shunkang told her, "You and Keke sleep in the same room tonight." ”
Yan An raised his eyebrows and looked at him, wondering what their family had discussed on the way here?
"I'm not in a good mood to dry milk, I have to watch over her. Her unceremonious refusal made Yu Shunkang feel uncomfortable, and he asked: "Who are you taking Qiao with? Do you really think that you are flying on the branches as a phoenix? Keke is afraid of the dark, do you know that the two of you sleep together?"
"Why should I?" Yan An's impatience reached its peak completely, she glanced coldly at the three people in front of her, and said, "The weather is bad today, and there must be a shortage of hotel housing, I dare not guarantee that Chao Zhen will also arrange accommodation for you." Instead of arranging for me here, why don't you go and ask if there's a place for you tonight!"
Yu Shunkang suddenly raised his eyebrows, looking like he wanted to say something, but was interrupted by a cold "Yan An" from the elevator entrance. Dong Xin watched the backs of the three of them get on the elevator with resentment, raised her eyebrows and looked at the person next to her who had been helping Chao Zhen deal with things, and asked, "Where is our room card?"
The immature but domineering man asked, "Who are you?
Yu Shunkang's eyes widened, and he walked to the front desk with a humming voice. The little brother who was called just now reminded him: "It's full here, don't bother with it, hurry up and find another place to live, go carefully and there will be nothing if it's late." ”
