the next day.
The electronic clock on the bedside showed 10:00, and the thick curtains could no longer block the sunlight that filtered in, but Luo Xiaoxi still showed no sign of waking up.
Last night she mentioned that she would have an exclusive interview today, and her appointment with the magazine would be at 12:30.
Although postponing the interview for her was only a matter of a phone call, she was still a newcomer after all, and the magazine had already prepared everything. If she said she wouldn't go, she wouldn't go. It would leave a bad impression on the reporter and it would be difficult to guarantee that she would be treated well. There will be no impact on future development.
Su Yicheng decided to wake her up.
"Xiao Xi."
"Xiao Xi?"
After calling twice, Luo Xiaoxi just changed her position and continued sleeping.
Su Yicheng knew her too well and knew that calling her would be useless. He simply took her into the bathroom and told her calmly, "It's ten o'clock. You have an interview at 12:30, and you have to go to Jian An's before doing the interview." Pick up the car from the apartment.”
Luo Xiaoxi murmured something unclear, whether it was a protest or something else. Seeing that she was about to bury her head in his arms and continue sleeping, Su Yicheng hurriedly put her down.
Luo Xiaoxi reluctantly opened her eyes and took the toothbrush from Su Yicheng.
Su Yicheng also brushed his teeth. For a while, there was only the hum of the two people's electric toothbrushes working in the spacious bathroom. The two looked at each other in the mirror, speechless, but there was nothing wrong or embarrassing.
It seems like a new day should start like this.
After washing her face, Luo Xiaoxi finally woke up and finally saw the light red mark under her collarbone.
She frowned angrily and glared at Su Yicheng, "Didn't I tell you... not to..." Feeling awkward in her heart, she couldn't finish her sentence.
But Su Yicheng must know what she meant. Yesterday, she told Su Yicheng that she had an exclusive interview and wanted to take photos today, and asked him not to leave any traces.
Su Yicheng looked nonchalant, "This will not affect your work today."
"Who said that!" Luo Xiaoxi stamped her foot, "I need to change a lot of clothes for taking pictures today."
Su Yicheng stopped washing his hands.
He slowly turned off the faucet, and using the red mark as the starting point, his slender fingers drew a straight line under her collarbone, "I don't care how many sets of clothes you have to change, the collar is not allowed to go beyond here. .”
“…”
Luo Xiaoxi was finally sure that Su Yicheng left that mark intentionally...
But what cannot be denied is that she does not reject his occasional domineering behavior at all.
But whether to go against him or not is another matter.
After breakfast, Su Yicheng sent Luo Xiaoxi back to Su Jianan's apartment. She went up to get her car from the basement, and found that the bodyguard hired by Lao Luo was still there. One of them was staring at her car, and the other was resting.
It’s not easy for them either…
Luo Xiaoxi bought them breakfast and drove to the company.
The morning rush hour has long passed, and the red Ferrari is speeding on the road like a fish in water. When she is about to arrive at the company, she encounters a traffic light. Luo Xiaoxi stops and looks out the window boredly. She sees a pair of familiar figures entering and leaving the hotel. Her eyes widened.
After taking a closer look, it turned out that it was really Fang Zheng who was beaten by Su Yicheng for pestering her. And the girl Fang Zheng was hugging was the girl who repeatedly provoked and ridiculed her during the last game.
At that time, she ridiculed the girl to worry that she was about to be eliminated instead of worrying about her, but the girl had an indifferent expression. It turned out that she had already hugged Fang Zheng's thigh.
Luo Xiaoxi thought that this could be classified into the "Live for a Long Time" series.
When the red light turned green, Luo Xiaoxi forgot about it, accelerated her speed, and soon arrived at the company. Candy took her to put on makeup and change clothes. When she saw the red mark under her collarbone, she said "tsk tsk" twice, "You guys" Mr. Su Yichengxing, you are under house arrest and he can still make you like this."
Luo Xiaoxi decisively covered the traces, "I just thought you were praising my boyfriend!"
Candy: “…”
At this time, the person who was praised was trying to contact Lao Luo.
Su Yicheng personally called Luo's secretary office. The female secretary's voice was so sweet and robotic, "Mr. Su, I'm sorry, I..." Maybe she was prompted temporarily, but she quickly changed her words, "Our Director Luo just has today. Time. I will transfer the call to Director Luo's office for you now, please wait a moment."
Soon, Father Luo's voice reached Su Yicheng's ears: "Hello."
"Uncle Luo," Su Yicheng was extremely polite, "I need to talk to you about some things. When is it convenient for you?"
"There's no need to waste time." Lao Luo's tone was tough and non-negotiable. "The reason why I answered your call is to tell you not to waste your time anymore. I'm not as easy to fool as Xiao Xi!"
Su Yicheng was neither humble nor arrogant, neither hasty nor slow, "Uncle Luo, I know what Zhang Mei said to you, can you give me a chance to explain?"
"Explain?" Lao Luo smiled, not hiding his sarcasm, "I will tell you clearly now, no matter how you explain it, I will not agree with you and Xiao Xi unless Luo Xiaoxi comes with me I have severed the relationship between father and daughter and no longer recognize me as my father!"
Just as Su Yicheng was about to say something, Luo's father had already hung up the phone with a bang. He had no choice but to swallow back the words that had reached his lips and put down the phone helplessly.
Headache.
It’s even more of a headache than facing an overbearing and stubborn customer.
Xiao Chen put down the coffee for Su Yicheng, "Mr. Su, how about... you confess to Miss Luo?"
Su Yicheng pondered for a moment, "Not now."
He knew Luo Xiaoxi too well. If he confessed to her the things he had hidden at this time, Luo Xiaoxi would definitely ask for a breakup in anger.
Even if she just said something out of anger, it would take a lot of effort for him to coax her back. At this time, there is no guarantee that Qin and Wei will not take advantage of the situation.
Things fell into a stalemate.
Luo's father refused to listen to Su Yicheng's explanation and kept Luo Xiaoxi under house arrest.
Luo Xiaoxi was naturally unwilling to give in. She would argue with Lao Luo at every turn, saying that she wanted to protect her legitimate rights and interests. Lao Luo was so angry that she turned blue, and the relationship between father and daughter could never be completely eased.
The most painful thing is that Su Yicheng can only go to see Luo Xiaoxi when she is out working, but looking at plum blossoms to quench thirst cannot really solve the problem after all.
But there is no other way.
Su Jianan tried to help Su Yicheng, but it was useless, not to mention that she was also troubled.
That day at Chairman Fan's birthday party, she had an argument with her stepmother and publicly stated that she had severed the father-daughter relationship with Su Hongyuan. This was reported in Gossip Weekly. There was no shortage of people in the police station talking about her in private.
Some people say that it turned out that she had concealed her identity as the eldest daughter of the Su family because she had personality problems and was at odds with her father and stepmother.
Some people also say that she is now married to Lu Boyan and has found a big supporter, so she dares to say that she will sever ties with Su Hongyuan in public.
The topic even spread to her character, because she asked Su Yuanyuan if she wanted to die. Everyone was talking about it, and it turned into her viciously telling her half-sister to die.
In short, they are all bad words and cannot affect her life, but they still have a lot of impact on her mood.
Jiang Shaokai advised her not to take it to heart. She felt it made sense and nodded. She tried her best to forget about those comments.
Because of this, Lu Boyan didn't notice anything unusual about her, and she thought that things would pass after a while and life would return to peace.
However, those words had already planted the seeds of disaster in her life.
On Saturday, Lu Boyan went out for something, and Su Jianan was alone at home watching the replay of Luo Xiaoxi's game last night.
The "hidden rules" scandal has gradually calmed down. Luo Xiaoxi also performed very well in this episode and won the championship again. The runner-up was Li Yingyuan.
The last shot is of Luo Xiaoxi's bright smile, and Li Yingyuan's forced smile, which was extremely dim due to Luo Xiaoxi's sinking.
Su Jianan smiled and turned off the TV. The phone on the coffee table suddenly vibrated slightly.
Su Yuanyuan sent her a text message.
—No. 1401, No. 125, Kangzhuang South Road, I'm in trouble, come and save me.
Su Jianan frowned delicately and put down her phone.
Originally, she wanted to just ignore it, but in the end, she picked up the phone and called Su Yuanyuan back.
The call was quickly connected, but what came first was dance music and the almost uncontrollable cheers of men and women mixed together.
Su Jianan's frown deepened, "Su Yuanyuan?"
"Su Jian'an..." Su Yuanyuan's voice floated like a wisp of smoke in the air, "You are a forensic doctor, you must know a lot, just like a doctor, right?"
After a pause, Su Yuanyuan suddenly sobbed in pain, "Can you help me, save me?... I feel so uncomfortable... I feel so uncomfortable..."
Having come into contact with the corpses of many drug addicts, Su Jianan had vaguely thought of something.
She hung up the phone, spoke to Uncle Xu, and hurriedly grabbed her car keys and went out.
The white LaCrosse was speeding on the road and arrived at the place Su Yuanyuan said in less than forty minutes.
It is a very remote neighborhood in the outer ring. There are not many people on the street. Building 125 is very old. The outer walls are covered with thick dust. However, there are several luxury cars worth millions parked downstairs. One of them is It was Su Hongyuan's birthday gift to Su Yuanyuan.
Su Jianan parked the car and went upstairs and rang the doorbell of 1401.
Although he had expected it, Su Jianan was still frightened the moment he opened the door.
The curtains sewn with blackout cloth block the sunlight outside. There are only a few dim chandeliers on in the huge living room. There are long sofas and long coffee tables. The white powder on the coffee table is like a devil, tempting these young people. People lower their heads to smell and inhale fiercely.
There were a few people lying on the sofa with wandering expressions and slack smiles. When they saw her, they stumbled over and said, "Yuanyuan, is this your sister?"
Su Jian'an turned on the light with a "pop", and the incandescent light filled the whole room. A group of young people seemed to wake up a little. Two more young people came over and reached out to touch Su Jian'an's face. "You are so beautiful. Come on, brother." Taste how it tastes.”
Jiang Shaokai taught Su Jianan self-defense skills, and she easily fended off the man's dirty tricks. "I have already called the police. If you don't leave, you will be sent to a drug rehabilitation center."
At this time, most people were awake and stared at Su Yuanyuan fiercely, "Isn't that what we agreed to do?"
Su Jianan's intuition was wrong, "What did Su Yuanyuan agree with you?"
The man smiled seductively, his eyes lingering on Su Jianan's graceful body, and he reached out again, "Su Yuanyuan promised us to call a beautiful woman over and let us play with her."
Su Jianan's expression suddenly darkened. She grabbed the man's hand. The next second, there was a "click" and the man lay on the ground and started wailing.
Her Taekwondo is not great, but it is more than enough to deal with a few thin and weak men.
Several men were really frightened.
Su Jianan looked at them coldly, "Since you know that I am Su Yuanyuan's sister, you should know that I am Lu Boyan's wife. If you touch me, you are seeking death, get out!"
Lu Boyan…
Let alone this person, they can't even afford to offend these three words.
Within a minute, all the men and women in the room disappeared, leaving only Su Yuanyuan lying on the sofa laughing wildly, looking at Su Jianan with eyes as cold as a poisonous snake...
Su Jianan felt something was wrong, and was just about to take out her phone to find someone, when she suddenly felt dizzy and her phone fell to the ground with a "pop"... (To be continued)
