Successor: Prosperous Marriage

Chapter 191 Returning to the Zhan Family
"I refused." Chu Xiaoxiao said in a low voice.For some reason, she just wanted to explain to Ouyang Qing, maybe she just wanted to explain clearly to everyone.

"Oh." Ouyang Qing replied simply.

Chu Xiaoxiao expressed surprise at his emotions, as usual, one must get to the bottom of things like rejecting the president.

"Why did you refuse?" As if seeing through Chu Xiaoxiao's mind, Ouyang Qing asked lightly.

"I...don't want to think about it yet." Chu Xiaoxiao stared blankly at the decorations on the car, a little lost.

Hearing what Chu Xiaoxiao said, Ouyang Qing felt a little more balanced.Maybe he is no worse than Zhan Yuling, but Chu Xiaoxiao is not ready for this.

"What if I chase you?" Ouyang Qing suddenly looked very seriously.

"Ouyang, I don't deserve what you do for me." Chu Xiaoxiao blurted out.

"Haha, I'm just joking, didn't we agree to be best friends?" Ouyang Qing found a step down for himself.

Chu Xiaoxiao was lying on the bed, all she could think about was the scene of meeting A Ling today.Although it was only a few days away from him, in my impression, it seemed that the two were separated by centuries.

After a night of thinking, Chu Xiaoxiao decided to move out of Ouyang's house.I don't want to accept Zhan Yuling, and I can't always bother Ouyang Qing. Even if she is still in Zhan's, she is just a small employee and doesn't want to have anything to do with these high-level officials.

If you discuss it with Ouyang Qing, he will definitely not agree.So, taking advantage of Ouyang Qing's absence, she sneaked away.

Dragging heavy luggage, she did not find a new place to live.There is not much money left on him, so he can only live in a very dilapidated apartment.

The houses here can no longer be described as dilapidated, they can be said to be dilapidated, and they don't even have bathing facilities.

There was only a simple bed, but in Chu Xiaoxiao's eyes, it was not considered dilapidated.Because she finally has her own home and can completely call the shots.

But the worst thing was that Chu Xiaoxiao's community was not safe.

There are often drunken men, and sometimes thieves.Live in fear.

This is why the rent here is relatively cheap.

"Recently, a typhoon is about to land in our city. I hope all citizens pay attention to safety."

Chu Xiaoxiao turned off the TV and stood outside the window, watching the increasingly gloomy weather, feeling nervous for a while.The typhoon is coming, and facing such a night alone, it is inevitable that I will be a little scared.

In just a short while, big raindrops fell, and the wind roared outside the window, tearing the iron frame outside non-stop.Like a wild beast, the dark night tore at her heart.

The room was a bit drafty, and the bed was cold. Chu Xiaoxiao shrunk her body vigorously, not daring to move.She is most afraid of rainy nights, and now with the addition of typhoons, it is really frightening.

Tick, tick.Chu Xiaoxiao looked at the roof, but saw that water began to drip drop by drop, and the roof was leaking.Chu Xiaoxiao quickly found a small basin to catch the raindrops.

But there were more and more places where the rain leaked, and she couldn't catch it at all.

"Snapped--"

Suddenly the room was dark.Power out?

The whole person was shrouded in darkness.There was lightning outside the window, Chu Xiaoxiao thought, it must be because the old house was in disrepair for a long time, and there was something wrong with the circuit.

Since the old house had no property, Chu Xiaoxiao could only turn on the spare flashlight of her mobile phone, and went to repair the switch by herself.

"Huh—" The wind outside the window roared even harder, and a sudden gust of wind knocked half of her roof off.

"Ah—" Chu Xiaoxiao was startled and couldn't help screaming.

The cold wind mixed with raindrops slapped her body frantically.Sheets, pillows, TV, all soaked through.

The house has been in disrepair for a long time, and I didn't expect the top floor to be broken like this.It seems that tonight is more or less auspicious.

How to do how to do?Chu Xiaoxiao's thin body shrank in the corner, completely terrified.

"Sister, are you in there? Is there something wrong?" An anxious voice sounded outside the door.At the same time, there was a knock on the door.

This voice was Zhan Yuling.

Chu Xiaoxiao opened the door: "Xiao Zhan, why are you here?"

As soon as the door was opened, the howling wind blew in, and her already thin and thin body trembled, as if terror had descended.

"I've been downstairs at your house."

Without saying a word, Zhan Yuling put on a raincoat on Chu Xiaoxiao and hugged her tightly.

"Why is your house broken down like this?" Following the light of the flashlight, Zhan Yuling saw large and small basins on the ground, as well as the roof blown away by the wind, and the room was in a mess.

"I can't live here, come with me." Zhan Yuling hugged her thin body, feeling distressed for a while.

She was scared to death by the typhoon just now, but now that she is hiding in Zhan Yuling's arms, she feels much more relaxed.

Xiao Zhan, let me yearn for the warmth of these few seconds, okay?

"You hide in the corridor first, and I'll help you pack your things." Zhan Yuling placed her in a safe corner, rushed into the room alone, and simply packed her belongings.

"Wait a minute, there's this." I saw Chu Xiaoxiao stepping on puddles of water stains, regardless of how much mud splashed on her body, and regardless of the wind blowing her to this side, she ran to the table and took it out of the drawer. A small pendant is held in the palm of the hand.

"Let's go." Zhan Yuling carried something in one hand and supported her slender waist with the other, and walked downstairs.

This is really an old building, with winding stairs and debris piled up everywhere, after finally walking downstairs, Zhan Yuling sent her into the car.

The car door was shut with a bang, shutting out the howling cold wind and dense raindrops, and people also calmed down.

There is a warm air conditioner in the car, and even a glass of Ginger Coke is prepared.

"Drink something to warm your stomach, don't catch a cold." Zhan Yuling handed her the cup, and found a dry towel for her.

"Thank you." Xiaoxiao nodded and took it, brushing her hair carelessly.

There were many water stains on her body, as well as mud spots from the rain belt, which pressed his high-end leather car seat into a wrinkle.

"Sorry for dirtying your car." Chu Xiaoxiao said carefully.

"It's okay, as long as people are fine." Knowing that she was careful, Zhan Yuling pointed to his body, "Look, it's the same here. Haha."

Chu Xiaoxiao didn't know how to express her feelings. Seeing his happy smile like a child's, her heart softened.

"By the way, why did you come here?" Chu Xiaoxiao then remembered that no one knew how she moved here, and how Zhan Yuling got here.

"I followed you." Zhan Yuling replied very frankly.

"Seeing that you didn't come to work in the morning, I guessed that you were out looking for a house. I knew you didn't want to live with Ouyang Qing for a long time. The security here is not good, so I didn't trust you, so I parked the car in Downstairs."

It turned out that he had been guarding her here the whole night.

If it weren't for the typhoon and power outage, maybe he would have stayed all night.

Chu Xiaoxiao's heart felt hot. If he hadn't come here today, she really didn't know how to deal with the blown away roof and the rainwater all over the house.

"Sister, you won't be angry with me, are you?" Zhan Yuling suddenly changed into a child's tone, like a child who has scored 100 points and is waiting for praise.

Chu Xiaoxiao looked at his cute Yangzi, so she couldn't say much, but said sincerely: "Thank you, Ah Ling."

The name A Ling was given to him by her. Chu Xiaoxiao said that's how her mother called her father. The mother said that adding the word "A" represented the close relationship between the two people and the meaning of being very cordial.

Hearing her calling himself A Ling again, he felt a strange warmth in his heart.

"Sister, in fact, I really want to go back to when I was a five-year-old child, so that you can be by my side every day, and I can protect you well." Zhan Yuling's sudden words made Chu Xiaoxiao feel restless .

"I..." Chu Xiaoxiao was at a loss for words for a moment, and then changed the subject: "Can you take me to the hotel? I'll deal with the house tomorrow."

Zhan Yuling was slightly taken aback, she was actually going to the hotel.Don't you just not trust yourself that much?

"It's so late, and there's a typhoon again, so the hotels are probably closed. I'd better take you back to Zhan's villa." Zhan Yuling suggested.

"Don't, that's too much trouble for you." She really didn't want to go into Zhanjia's villa.She just wants to be an ordinary girl.

"It's okay, I haven't gone back for a long time." Zhan Yuling thought that he hadn't gone back for a long time, and wondered if Chu Xiaofei still lived there.

"Why?" Chu Xiaoxiao was surprised.

"Hey, let's talk at home first." I really don't know if that fellow Chu Xiaofei is still at Zhan's house.

Zhan Yuling started the car.In the rainy night, the car gradually drifted away.

Zhan Yuling parked the car in the garage, and the two of them reached the gate of the villa without talking.

Chu Xiaofei had been waiting at the gate early, and it was so late and it was raining so hard. Chu Xiaofei wanted Zhan Yuling to see herself waiting for him as soon as she got home, and to create an image of a virtuous and good wife for Zhan Yuling so that Zhan Yuling could see her. Yu Ling was moved.

But from a distance, when Zhan Yuling stopped the car, he saw two people. When he got closer, the person under Zhan Yuling's umbrella was actually Chu Xiaoxiao.

"Chu Xiaoxiao, why are you here?"

Chu Xiaofei shouted angrily, she had long forgotten the appearance of a virtuous wife she wanted to create.

"Why did you come back again? You are all people who were kicked out, turned into a drowned chicken, and come back to pretend to be pitiful?"

Chu Xiaofei's usual vitriolic and disliked tone made everyone unhappy.

When Mrs. Zhang heard Chu Xiaoxiao came back, she hurriedly pushed away Chu Xiaofei who was blocking the door, and took out the slippers.

"Xiaoxiao, when you come back, I told you that you will come back. Why did you shower like this with the young master? Go into the room to change clothes, and I'll make ginger soup for you."

Zhan Yuling also didn't want to tell Chu Xiaofei more, so he and Mrs. Zhang changed Chu Xiaoxiao's slippers and entered the house.
