"Boss Cui, don't you have a rule in this line of work that you don't ask about the reason for pawning? I'm afraid you won't believe me, so I've already told you the reason. If you don't do it, I'll find another house. " Du Anran looked very calm But she was still afraid that boss Cui would call Xin Zimo on impulse.
If that was the case, she would be finished.
Boss Cui naturally knew that this was a big deal. He thought for a moment and couldn't help but ask, "Miss Du... is this ring really given to you by President Xin? "
Du Anran pretended to be angry. "Boss Cui, if you don't want it, just say something. What do you mean by asking this? Did I steal it from Xin Zimo? If he really lost this ring, would I still dare to swagger around city a? "
Boss Cui saw that Du Anran seemed to be angry and rolled his eyes. Only then did he believe Du Anran. Indeed, he had read the newspaper. When du Anran and Xin Zimo stood together at the London Cocktail Party, Du Anran wore this ring on her hand. If Xin Zimo had not given it to her, there was probably no other reason.
"Then, Miss Du, we'll calculate it according to the previous interest. What do you think? " Boss Cui finally relented.
"Okay, if I don't come to take the ring in ten days, the ring will be yours. "
Seeing that Du Anran did not have any intention of taking the ring, boss Cui thought that he had made a profit again. He nodded. "Sure, sure. What's your price? ''
"Ten million, not a penny less, " Du Anran said.
The price was exactly one-tenth of the original auction price. It was neither too much nor too little.
Cui put away the jewelry box and said with a smile, "okay, deal. " Whether or not du Anran came to take the ring, he had made a big profit.
"Then I'll have to trouble Cui to help me keep the ring. I'll come back to take it. " Du Anran smiled.
In the past, du Anran had kept things in his house. She had come back to take some, but she didn't want any. Cui calculated that even if du Anran came back to take the ring, the interest would be enough to buy a good car.
"Okay, okay, okay, I will take good care of it. " Boss Cui put away the ring and asked Du Anran, "do you want a card or cash? "
"Cash, " Du Anran said.
"Okay! Sign it and the deal will be considered a success! " Boss Cui took out a contract.
After du Anran signed the contract, she left a note for boss Cui. On the note, there were only some words such as "no communication between lovers" . Boss Cui read it without any doubt.
"boss Cui, please read the words to Xin zimo according to the note. I really curse a heartless man like him not to be happy in the future! " Du Anran said angrily.
"Miss Du, aren't you going to call President Xin personally? " Boss Cui asked with a smile.
"I don't want to talk to him anymore. "
Du Anran lifted the cash safe with a disdainful look on her face. She had already calculated the time. Even if boss Cui called Xin Zimo right after she left, she would already be on Muxi road by the time Xin Zimo reacted and went to look for her.
She hoped that the two of them had a tacit understanding and could cooperate well.
On the way to Muxi Road, Du Anran took a taxi and called Xiao Qingqing to tell her that she had gotten the plane ticket and the cash.
Xiao Qingqing was very satisfied. She sneered and said, "If I knew you were still so rich, I wouldn't have asked for ten million. "
"Xiao Qingqing, don't push your luck! " Du Anran said angrily, "let my mom talk to me. "
Xiao Qingqing shook her hair and smiled brightly. She put the phone next to Bai Ruyun's ear and pushed her. "Your precious daughter is talking to you. Say something. "
"ANRAN! Don't come over. MOM IS FINE! " Bai Ruyun's eyes were covered and she couldn't see everything in the house clearly, but her tone was as calm as ever.
"Mom! " Du Anran shouted, "wait for me. She only wants money. She won't hurt you! "
"Why are you talking so much nonsense! " Xiao Qingqing yelled at the phone, "hurry up or I'll lose my patience. Who knows what I'll do! This room is really stuffy. If there's a smell of blood, I think it'll be good... "
"Xiao Qingqing, if you don't keep your word, I can call the police right now! "
"If you have the ability, then call! " Xiao Qingqing hung up the phone and lowered her head to glare at Bai Ruyun who was on the ground.
Xiao Qingqing was wearing a black coat. Her hair was messy, and her long hair was tied up randomly with a hairband. Her eyes were Puffy, and she looked as if she had not slept for days and nights. Her entire face was sallow.
This room was an abandoned old house, and there was an unpleasant musty smell everywhere. There was a mess of Straw on the ground, and some corpses of insects.
The doors and windows were tightly shut. The room was dark, and there was only a dim light. There was also a bloody dagger on the ground. The dagger glinted coldly in the DIM light.
Bai Ruyun sat on the ground. Her body was tied up tightly, and she could not move. Her eyes were also covered with a black cloth, and she could not see anything. She could only hear the sounds around her. Sometimes, it was Xiao Qingqing and Anran on the phone, and sometimes, she opened the door and talked to a man.
At this moment, the surroundings became quiet. Xiao Qingqing paced back and forth, her footsteps filled with unease.
Bai Ruyun did not cry or make a scene, she was very quiet. She knew that Du Anran would definitely come, even though she was unwilling for her to come.
Xiao Qingqing squatted down, her eyes fixed on Bai Ruyun.
Although she was almost 50 years old, the years did not leave too many traces on her face. She was still so beautiful, even more charming than a young woman.
Xiao Qingqing was not convinced. How could she be able to live so smoothly in the DU family for so many years, while her mother could only endure the suffering of mental illness, and the days felt like years!
Xiao Qingqing picked up the knife in her hand again. If the hijacking had not been exposed, she would have had no choice but to flee to another country. Otherwise, she really wanted to end Bai Ruyun's life with a knife!
Her survival principle in this world was that she would not allow others to get what she could not get.
She pressed the knife against Bai Ruyun's face. Bai Ruyun felt the cold surface of the knife and her heart could not help but tremble. However, she knew that Xiao Qingqing still did not dare to touch her because Du Anran had not arrived yet.
"I endured humiliation for more than twenty years. I even went to the extent of concealing my identity to come to this world to see you and your mother step by step under the feet of others, " Xiao Qingqing suddenly said Her Sharp and shrill voice was particularly ear-piercing in this gloomy little house.
However, what made her sad was that although Du Anran and her daughter lost everything, they were still alive and well. The man she had loved for two years had also abandoned her. Xin Zimo had even returned to Du Anran's side.
"when I first met you, I felt that you looked very much like a person. You and she really look alike, especially your eyes, which are full of desire, " Bai Ruyun said slowly "But I didn't take this matter to heart. If I had cared more about the peace of the world, you wouldn't have stayed by Anran's side for so long. "
"Bai Ruyun, your daughter is so stupid. Other than her family background and the protection of others, what is she stronger than me in? "
"Why must a person be smart in life? " Bai Ruyun's tone was calm. She was like a White Lotus now, still unafraid of being spoiled or humiliated, while Xiao Qingqing was like a CACTUS, with thorns all over her body.
Xiao Qingqing was speechless. She didn't know how to answer Bai Ruyun, so she had to put the knife on her face again.
"Bai Ruyun, wait for your daughter to come over. Let's settle the score from more than 20 years ago. "
"It's been so many years. Could it be that Xiao Lanzhen has never forgotten about it? "
Xiao Lanzhen was Xiao Qingqing's mother's name. However, for so many years, Bai Ruyun had always thought that Xiao Lanzhen was dead. It was only today that she found out that Xiao Lanzhen was suffering from intermittent mental illness. She had been in a crazy state all day long.. Only injections and medicine could slightly ease the pain.
"So many years. Do you know what kind of life we have been living these years? " Xiao Qingqing's eyes were red. When she thought of this, the knife in her hand wanted to stab into Bai Ruyun's chest.
"from the beginning to the end, your mother was the only one dreaming. Our Du family didn't do anything to hurt her. " Bai Ruyun felt that Xiao Qingqing was unreasonable. She didn't know what Xiao Lanzhen said to Xiao Qingqing.
"My mother and Du Yuanheng are the ones who truly love each other. It was you who broke them up! " Xiao Qingqing roared.
"Did Xiao Lanzhen tell you? " Bai Ruyun felt that this was a misunderstanding. Her father, Du Yuanheng, had never loved Xiao Lanzhen.
"Yes, my mother told me that. Do you want to deny it and erase the truth? "
Bai Ruyun could not see the expression on Xiao Qingqing's face, but she could imagine it. It turned out that in Xiao Qingqing's eyes, she had always thought that she should have replaced Du Anran's position as the eldest daughter of the DU family. Therefore, she lived in a beautiful dream.
Just as Bai Ruyun was about to speak, there was a knock on the door of the house.
Xiao Qingqing immediately raised her guard. "Who is it? "
"Me. " A man outside the house lowered his voice.
Xiao Qingqing put away the dagger in her hand, glanced at Bai Ruyun, then opened the door and walked out.
Bai Ruyun could feel the light from the moment the door opened, but the light soon disappeared and was replaced by darkness.
"What's the matter? " Xiao Qingqing glanced at he Yuguang in front of her.
"I found a taxi coming, " He Yuguang said.
This man also looked tired. It seemed that he had not slept for a long time. He stole a large amount of money from the Xin family, and the money was now hidden in a corner of this small house.
He was just waiting to escape to Canada with Xiao Qingqing. He could never forget this man ever since he saw Xiao Qingqing by Xin Zimo's side.
He had done many things for Xiao Qingqing, almost obeying her every word. Smearing Xin Zimo, smearing Xin Zimo, placing drugs in the goods, making financial mistakes in Xin Zimo's finances, following Xin Zimo -- all these things were his share.
As long as Xiao Qingqing was happy, he was willing to do it. If Xiao Qingqing hated Xin Zimo, he could hate her too. If Xiao Qingqing hated Du Anran, he could help hurt du Anran as long as she was happy.
"Can you see the person in the car? " Xiao Qingqing asked.
"I can't see clearly, but it seems that Du Anran is the only one. "
"Keep watching. If she dares to bring people here, no one will live! " Xiao Qingqing's face was ferocious.
"Qingqing, we'll go to Canada as soon as we get the plane tickets and cash. What about your mother? ''
"Her? Does she still think that she hasn't given me enough trouble for so many years? Let her die on her own! " Xiao Qingqing looked disgusted.
"then go to Canada. You promised me to marry me... " He Yuguang hugged Xiao Qingqing from behind.
Xiao Qingqing had never liked he Yuguang. She knew this better than anyone. She loved and hated the same man the most in her life. He Yuguang only listened to her words and could help her do many things.
However, how could Xiao Qingqing refuse he yuguang at such a critical moment? She smiled slightly, turned around, and planted a kiss on he yuguang's forehead She pouted and said, "Don't you believe me? How can the things I promised you change? But when the time comes, you have to buy me a big and beautiful diamond ring... "
"Of course... as long as you like it... " He Yuguang Kissed Xiao Qingqing ...
"Is Everything Ready? " Xiao Qingqing asked.
"It's long been prepared. As soon as DU anran comes, we'll leave immediately! " He Yuguang was chased by Xin Zimo's men until he had nowhere to run. If he didn't leave now, Xin Zimo would probably catch him very soon.
Although he didn't participate in the plan of the hijacking last time, with Xin Zimo's temper, he would never let him go. Xin Zimo hated people who betrayed him the most.
"quickly go and see if she's cheating! " Xiao Qingqing pushed he yuguang away, indicating for him to continue watching.
He Yuguang then left Xiao Qingqing and walked from the courtyard to the dark pavilion on the roof.
From the dark pavilion, one could see every movement outside, but from the outside, one could not see inside. Sure enough, Du Anran's taxi had arrived. After du Anran paid the fare, the driver left.
Du Anran was holding a safe in her hand. It looked very heavy. She stood at the door and looked around for a while, as if she was looking for the location that Xiao Qingqing had mentioned.
He Yuguang informed Xiao Qingqing that du Anran had already arrived at the door.
Only then did Xiao Qingqing pick up her phone and call Du Anran. "You're here? "
Du Anran looked around. This place was practically a ruin, desolate and uninhabited. There was even a stinky river at the southernmost side, and the environment was messy and terrible. She did not know how a beauty like Xiao Qingqing could hide here.
After receiving Xiao Qingqing's call, Du Anran nodded. "Yes, I'm here. I brought everything. Where are you? "
She couldn't see anyone, but she knew that Xiao Qingqing could definitely see her.
"I'll count to three. Throw your phone away. " Xiao Qingqing was afraid that she would contact the outside world. "One, two... "
Du Anran put down her phone and had no choice but to do as she was told.
She threw her phone into the bushes and looked around, but she still couldn't see Xiao Qingqing. She held the safe tightly with both hands. As long as she couldn't see her mother, she wouldn't hand over the money.
The White Sun shone on her face, and it was a little dazzling. Du Anran stood where she was and looked around. Although it was messy and dirty, it was a good place to hide. No wonder the police could not find her even after searching for so long.
The door in front of her was tightly shut, and the door had long been cobbled. When the wind blew, thick dust floated all over the ground.
