pampered and married

Chapter 253 Catch her

Xie Baichen flung his eyes at him.

Xu Zheng was startled, and there was still an expression of pity for the man with a "strict wife" on his face that he couldn't take back in time.

Xie Baichen put the invitation letter into the drawer casually, and flipped through the calendar on the desk: "You don't have to accompany me to the family banquet hosted by Xiang's family next week."

Xu Zheng had a heart attack: "Why... why?"

"You are busy gossiping about my family affairs, so you probably don't have time to go."

"It doesn't matter, I'm free!" Xu Zheng hastily stated, but felt wrong again, "No, how can I gossip about you? Whoever slandered me, I was wronged!"

Xie Baichen sneered.

Your expression just now betrayed yourself, okay?

"Don't think that I don't know what's on your mind lately." Xie Baichen looked at him coolly, "Mingli said he wanted to attend the banquet with me, but secretly he wanted to find a chance to get close to Xiang Chenzhou's cousin. Let me tell you, his cousin is arrogant and extravagant. Self-willedness is not generally difficult to deal with, I won't let you go, and I don't want you to follow in my footsteps."

"That's not it!" Xu Zheng was impatient, and quickly argued, "Xiang You can be regarded as an eccentric at best, do you think everyone is as fierce and fierce as Miss Yan?"

Xie Baichen didn't speak, but just looked at Xu Zheng with a friendly face.

"Uh...hehe, Mr. Xie," Xu Zheng wished he could slap himself across the face, "I really want to accompany you to the banquet and meet Xiang You just by the way. Oh, that's right, that's right," afraid that he would say more Xu Zheng cleverly changed the subject, "The weather is not good today, why don't you get off work early, lest the road be blocked late and affect your meeting with Ms. Yan."

Xie Baichen said "hehe" twice, and clicked on the documents on the desk: "There are still a lot of things waiting to be dealt with."

Xu Zheng glanced at it, suppressing his headache and complaining: Don't you just want me to work overtime for free?
"I'll do it." Xu Zheng took away the materials in a hurry, "Anyway, I have nothing to do at night, just to exercise my working ability."

Only then did Xie Baichen glance at him with satisfaction.

Xu Zheng continued to work hard and flattered her with a smile on her face: "In order to squeeze out time to spend with Miss Yan, you've been running around every day during this time. If you're too tired, you don't have to come tomorrow morning. I'll sort out the data of each department for you. You can come in the afternoon. It's not too late to see."

Volunteering to invite the boss to enjoy the long-awaited reunion. Dare I ask, is there an assistant who is more caring than him in this world?

Xie Baichen snorted softly: "I still have to come to work tomorrow morning, do you think everyone is like you, under the banner of work, secretly chasing after your own woman?"

Xu Zheng shrank his neck and said nothing, at a time like this, silence is golden.

"Then I'll leave these to you." Xie Baichen unapologetically lost an extra job to Xu Zheng, and when he took out the car keys and walked outside, he said "It's hard work."

"It should be." Xu Zheng hurriedly sent it out, and finally asked cautiously, "The family banquet of the Xiang family..."

"It depends on your performance." Xie Baichen patted Xu Zheng's shoulder and walked away.

……

The weather forecast said that the sky would change at night, but before five o'clock, the sky became gloomy.

Ji Rulan looked sadly at the dark cloud-covered sky, and couldn't help but walk faster.

In her memory, the night of separation was accompanied by thunderstorms. I don't know if it was so deep in her memory that she couldn't help feeling flustered whenever the weather changed in the days to come.

After leaving Xie Shi, she didn't go back to school.

Afraid of encountering the evening rush hour, she made a detour to pass through a villa area.

The Tingtao Court where she lived was on the outskirts of the city, and after walking across the greenway, it was easy to get a taxi.

Faintly, there was a muffled thunder in the sky, Ji Rulan tightened her coat that was blown up by the wind, and walked quickly against the wind.

"Catch her!"

"Don't let her run away!"

Behind him, there was a sudden burst of shouting one after another.

Ji Rulan was taken aback, her whole body was shrouded in great fear.

Limbs quickly turned cold, and shoulders trembled uncontrollably.

"boom!"

There was a sound of thunder, and immediately after that, big raindrops fell down.

"Dare to run, chase after!"

Behind him, the voice of exasperation was getting closer and closer, and the sound of dense footsteps followed.

Almost subconsciously, Ji Rulan stretched her legs and ran towards a hidden alley beside the street.

Can't be caught!
Absolutely not!

"Go into the alley!" A man with a voice like a bell yelled angrily, "If I don't catch her today, I will not be a human being!"

"I don't believe it, with so many of us, we still can't catch a girl!"

Cursing and threats constantly flooded Ji Rulan's eardrums, she didn't even have the courage to look back, so she just fled crazily in the dark narrow alley without thinking.

On the ground, there were untrimmed weeds, and above the head, there was overwhelming rain. The shouting behind her coincided with the voice in her memory, densely stimulating her most sensitive nerves.

"ah!"

He staggered under his feet, and his body was thrown out heavily.

A sharp stone scratched her palm, and blood gushed out immediately.

Before he could care about the wound, Ji Rulan got up, limped and continued to run forward.

One of her shoes has been lost, but she can't stop.

If you stop, you will be caught!
He said that once they return to that place, their whole family will have no way out!
"Going to catch her!"

"Hmph! I can't run away!"

The extreme fear caused hot and humid tears to flow out of her eyes uncontrollably, melting into the icy rain, and transforming into despair on her face.

Help!

Help!

She wanted to shout, but her throat seemed to be blocked, and she couldn't utter a word.

Suddenly, a hand stretched out from the darkness, grabbed her arm, and pulled her hard.

Ji Rulan was caught off guard, stumbled and was pressed against the cold and hard wall.

Subconsciously, she wanted to yell, but that hand covered her mouth before her voice broke through the air.

"Shh!"

The other party gave her a look, and the next second, she was really obedient.

Ji Rulan shivered in the corner of the wall, the shadow in front of her body gave her an inexplicable sense of security.

"Don't be afraid, I'm blocking you."

The cold voice was accompanied by the quiet fragrance of jasmine permeating around her, the hand covering her mouth was loosened, and instead, she patted comfortingly on her shoulder.

The sound of footsteps in the alley passed by her chaotically, and the hurried figure of the pursuer was too fast for her to keep up.

"Caught!"

"Press her and send her to the police station!"

"Too arrogant, dare to steal our young master's wallet in broad daylight!"

Ji Rulan breathed a sigh of relief, her tense nerves instantly relaxed, and then, she and the puppet, which had lost its backbone, squatted on the ground along the wall.

Fortunately, it wasn't after her.

When she was young, whenever there was a chase, even if the target was not her, it would make her panic to the extreme.She thought that as she got older, she would no longer be afraid, but she didn't expect that this kind of fear went deep into the marrow of her bones, not only did not pass through time, but it increased day by day.

"Okay, they're gone." A hand gently patted her on the back, "I'm chasing thieves, don't worry, come, I'll help you up."
