Chapter 297: A game within a game
Throughout the night, the torrent-like rain did not stop.
A continuous fluctuation filled the dark world, and the falling water, the flowing water, the dripping water, and the rushing water all combined to form a drifting vague sound, disturbing Shang Xia from sleeping.
Lu Fang's words were replayed in her ears over and over again, and finally turned into a sharp blade in the nightmare of the early morning, flying straight towards Shang Xiaohe in the dream.
"Ahh
Shang Xia woke up from his dream suddenly, clutching the quilt with both hands and panting heavily.
No way!
No!
Mom must not be fine!
She couldn't find Lu Fang's location, she couldn't find her mother's location, and she had no other way but to obediently agree to the conditions.
It's just that An An ......
Shang Xia looked out the window, the heavy rain overnight had turned the outside into potholes, and the place where the original unpaved cement road was even more muddy.
An An is now unable to get out because of Wu Qiancheng's affairs, if she deliberately alienates her at this time, will it make her even more devastated?
You don't have to think about it.
"Xia Xia, I made a call to this Boss Wang last night."
Lin Ran waved the card in his hand and said.
"Boss Wang?"
It's the one the Lin family is looking for to lure their mother to the bait?!
"Well, he seems to be very polite to Auntie, and he said yesterday that Auntie left after signing the contract at five o'clock in the afternoon."
Shang Xia didn't say anything, he didn't force him to ask, he just did something that might help.
"Hmph."
Shang Xia smiled coldly and left at five o'clock?
I didn't expect the Lin family to dare to do it so much, when they instructed Lu Fang to frame their mother, didn't they admit it very well?
Why didn't you deal with it for a while, but instead became a turtle with a shrunken head?
With the false warning in front of her, she now believes that what Lu said on the phone is the truth.
On this day, she and Lin Ran had breakfast at home together, and went directly to the classroom.
"Let's sit in the back today."
She spoke, then sat down in the fourth row.
Lin Ran glanced at it and found that there were only two people left in the fourth row, and it would be full if the two of them sat down.
"Isn't An coming to class today?"
He knew that Lin An'an's spirit had not been very good recently, so when he saw Shang Xia choosing a seat like this, he naturally thought of this reason.
Shang Xia didn't speak, just lowered his head and read silently.
After a while, the people in the classroom came in one after another, and Lin Anan also entered the classroom alone.
"Eh, you see that Shang Xia and Lin Ran didn't sit in the third row, don't they usually sit there?"
"That's right, and Lin An'an is also here, and there is no seat next to Shang Xia...... Could it be that a few of them really fell out? β
"If I were Shang Xia, I wouldn't be associated with such a hypocritical person, my good friend actually has thoughts about his boyfriend, I can't stand it, right?"
The sighs made Shang Xia's eyebrows almost twist together, but she didn't get up to explain, and she didn't even look at Lin An'an.
No matter what she chooses in the end, at least let her see her mother come back safely before she can decide.
Until now, she hadn't even heard her mother's voice, and she didn't know what Shang Xiaohe's situation was now, and she really didn't dare to make a mistake!
Lin Ran glanced at the two of them suspiciously, and couldn't figure out what was going on for a while.
"Xia Xia, Lin An'an and I really don't have anything to do, just ordinary friends."
During class, Shang Xia received a small note pushed by Lin Ran.
She didn't reply, just nodded faintly.
She knew, of course she knew!
But how do you want her to answer now, do you have to say that "I and Lin Anan will never be friends from now on"?!
Even now, she can't say anything at all.
She looked at Lin An'an, who was sitting in front of her, and silently begged for forgiveness.
An An, wait, when my mother comes home, I will tell you everything immediately!
Throughout the morning, she tried her best to keep her head down to write, not daring to look at Lin An'an's face.
She was afraid that she would not be able to say it now, and put her mother in an even more dangerous situation.
Finally, when the bell rang for the end of school at noon, she stood up with her book in her arms.
Lin An'an, who was in front, also got up with something in his arms and turned to look at her.
"I called you yesterday, are you alright?"
Lin An'an's voice was still soft, this was also the first time Shang Xia had listened to her since she was psychologically shadowed by Wu Qiancheng.
However, she could not show joy and could only walk out of the classroom without saying a word.
Behind him, the whispers that had been sighing all morning grew louder.
"Do you see that? They're breaking up! Shang Xia ignores her now! β
"Well deserved! Who made her eat what was in the bowl and looked at what was in the pot? It's not enough to have a Wu Qiancheng, his eyes are still staring at other people's boyfriends. β
"Fortunately, Shang Xia was not deceived by her hypocritical appearance, otherwise he would have been dug up in the future, and there would be no place to cry!"
Shang Xia gritted his teeth and walked away quickly, clenching the things in his arms with ten fingers of both hands to prevent him from turning around and reasoning with the group.
She didn't even say hello to Lin Ran, who was chasing her, and hurriedly walked towards the outside of the school gate.
Lin Anan watched her run away from herself, and an irrepressible pain appeared in her heart.
That feeling is like when she heard Feng Mengqi say outside the door - "I hope she dies soon"!
"An An, don't think about it, something happened to Xia Xia's family recently, she is not in a good mood, and she has been very busy."
"What's the matter!?"
Lin An'an instantly had an ominous premonition in his heart.
Lin Ran looked at the dark clouds outside the window that had begun to dissipate, and said, "Xia Xia's mother didn't come home last night. β
"You meanβAuntie is missing!?"
In a flash of lightning, her father's grim face appeared in her mind.
She trembled a little, and ran out of the classroom door almost with her hands and feet.
Lin Ran looked at her back, glanced in the direction Shang Xia left, and sighed helplessly.
"What the hell is going on with all this?"
Did he just say something he shouldn't have said?
In the two-story building on the other side, Shang Xiaohe was talking to a young girl who had been following her.
"Girl, let me call home, or my daughter will be worried."
The girl shook her head.
"Auntie, I'm really sorry, because your current whereabouts need to be kept secret.
Lest the outside merchants know that you have come to Mr. Wang, guessing that they are going to cooperate in the production of your special jewelry, and then the copycat piracy in advance will preconceive and grab the market. β
Shang Xiaohe knew that the situation she said did exist, and she had encountered it when she bought Yiwu small commodities with Huang Mu before.
But yesterday I was asked to stay here, and I couldn't say a word to Huang Biao Xia Xia, they must be in a hurry!
"Auntie, don't worry, our Mr. Wang has already called to explain the situation to your family in person."
The girl saw her concern at a glance and immediately spoke empathetically.
"That's good...... But how much longer do I need to stay here? I'm going back to open a shop, you can't let me stay with you all the time, can you? β
These big bosses in Beijing are particular about doing business, and she has never met such a boss who asks for a stay before.
But thinking about the big contract she signed with Boss Wang before, she took it for granted.
After all, people have paid a deposit of 50,000 yuan, which can be said to be very sincere, of course they can't leave by temperament, in case it really breaks down when the time comes, it won't be like a business.
Shang Xiaohe, accompanied by the girl, went for a walk in the garden.
The fresh air after the rain made her feel very comfortable.
Behind the banana bushes in the distance, Lu Fang was looking at the small figure stupidly.
Looking at it like this, he found that Shang Xiaohe's figure was even more reverie.
"Tsk, what a wonderful person......"
"Boss, the young master is here."
Behind him, he suddenly remembered the voice of his subordinates' report, and he immediately put away the sparkle in his eyes and returned to a serious appearance.
Turned around and went downstairs into a hall, where his son Wu Qiancheng was already sitting.
"Dad, is it really okay this time?"
As soon as he looked up and saw Lu Fang, he asked.
Lu Fang waved his hand to retreat from everyone, and then sat down on the solid wooden chair beside his son.
"Hmph, that eldest lady is an ignorant of the world, as long as there is no Shang Xia by her side to help, it will be effortless for you to subdue such a person."
At this time, his heart was completely devoid of the initial fear, and it was all fanatical about the bright future described by his son.
Let his own son take over the Lin family, and the Wu family will also become a big family in Beijing, and from then on, he Lu Fang can no longer be poked in the back by those guys who look down on people, saying that he eats soft rice and relies on women to take the position.
"If it weren't for Shang Xia's trouble, I would have succeeded a long time ago!"
Wu Qiancheng's eyebrows were tangled, and there was a hint of irritability in his tone.
Now that the matter is getting bigger, the Lin family may know about it at any time, and then he will have to go around without food!
"Don't worry, now she can't get in your way. And didn't you say that the students in Huaqing all think that you are the boyfriend of the eldest lady, and you already have an actual relationship? β
Lu Fang diligently handed his son a plate of refreshments, and now his future once again rested on this son.
The last time Wu Qiancheng let him successfully become the Wu family, this time he will definitely be able to successfully become the Lin family!
Wu Qiancheng smiled coldly, and the corners of his mouth slowly opened a playful arc.
"As long as you don't drop the chain here, isn't that stupid woman still handy?"
