C687 I Shouldn't Have Been Merciful and Let You Go
Although she thought so, Jian Xi did not put her phone in front of her to look.
"Hubby, is that you?"
There was still no reply. Jian Xi wondered if hubby Qu accidentally touched the phone and called her.
Jian Xi wanted to hang up the phone, but just as she was about to take the phone away from her ear, the sound of hubby Qu gnashing his teeth suddenly came from the other end of the phone. "Where are you?"
Hearing hubby Qu's angry voice, Jian Xi suddenly felt a chill on her back. In her heart, she thought, Could it be that hubby Qu came back? Then she found that she was not in the villa.
When she thought of this, Jian Xi, who had only felt a chill on her back, suddenly trembled and broke out in cold sweat.
"I, I am having dinner with my friend."
She could not mention Qu Yichen's name, so Jian Xi only said that he was a friend. But as soon as she said that, Jian Xi immediately regretted it. hubby Qu had always locked her up in the villa like a canary. Now, she said that she was eating with a friend outside. Wasn't it just courting death?
It had really been a while since she had been forced by hubby Qu, and she had forgotten about her current environment. Jian Xi could almost imagine that if hubby Qu was in front of her now, he would probably want to strangle her to death.
"Jian Xi!"
Hubby Qu only called her name, but Jian Xi instinctively trembled in fear. Her whole body went soft, and she almost could not hold her phone.
"I should not have been merciful to you. I will let you go!"
After saying that, hubby Qu hung up the phone. Jian Xi opened her mouth. Before she could say anything, Jian Xi eagerly took the phone. When she called back, the phone rang for almost a second. hubby Qu picked up the phone.
Jian Xi originally thought that hubby Qu would angrily hang up the phone and not pick up her phone again like before. She did not expect hubby Qu to not only pick up, but also pick up so quickly. Jian Xi did not react in time and her mind went blank. She originally wanted to say something but couldn't remember what it was.
She had waited for a long time and did not hear a word from Jian Xi. hubby Qu's anger seemed to be even greater. He roared on the phone. "Get back here, or else..." After saying that, he hung up the phone again. Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to finish his sentence. Jian Xi also instantly guessed it.
She had really calculated everything. She never thought that hubby Qu would call her today and tonight. This time, she guessed that hubby Qu must have known that she was with Qu Yichen. Even if she and Qu Yichen were innocent, hubby Qu would think that she had cheated on him!
This time, Jian Xi really wanted to cry but had no tears!
She realized that she did not know what had happened recently. It seemed that she was always doing stupid things. Every time, it was because she had recently closed herself up in a dead end. Clearly, she had long made up her mind to stay away from Qu Yichen. She didn't know why, but the two of them were always involved.
But at this moment, Jian Xi was no longer in the mood to think about anything else. She only knew that hubby Qu was very angry and had given the order. He told her to hurry back, even if hubby Qu did not set a time limit. Jian Xi felt that if she did not hurry back, her father would very likely suffer.
With this thought, Jian Xi did not even have the time to lift the mat. She hurriedly ran out, but the mat stuck her eyes. It made her involuntarily close her eyes and did not see clearly what was in front of her. She fell onto the girl who was playing the zither and let out a cry of alarm. The zither also let out a cracking sound, interrupting the entire tune.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry." Jian Xi reached out her hand to support the girl who was pressed down by her as she kept apologizing. "I have an urgent matter to attend to. I'm really sorry."
"It's alright!"
As soon as she said that, the girl noticed Jian Xi running away in a hurry. She ran very fast as if someone was chasing her. However, because she walked to the end of the winding path, Jian Xi was almost knocked onto the railing several times. Seeing this, the girl who was playing the zither could not help but feel frightened. As for herself... Because she was not injured, she quickly collected her emotions. Placing her hands on the zither, she began to play once again.
Her work wasn't over yet, no matter what happened during this period of time. As long as she could still move, she had to play it unanimously. Until the end of her working hours. And for her, this was not just a good job, she only needed to work four or five hours a day to play the piano for four or five hours.
Not only did it allow her to play to her heart's content, but it also allowed her to receive better training.
With this thought, the girl played even more vigorously. It was even more pleasant to listen to, and those high ranking officials who were disturbed by the sudden breaking of the music were quickly moved by this wonderful music. Forgetting the tiny flaw, they continued to eat and chat happily with the people around them.
When they were about to run to the cave, Jian Xi saw Qu Yichen who was walking to the entrance of the cave. Jian Xi stretched out her hand and wanted to ask Qu Yichen to send her back immediately, but before she could say anything, she kicked something under her feet and her footsteps became chaotic. Jian Xi could not stabilize her body and fell forward. Qu Yichen took a big stride and walked in front of Jian Xi. He reached out and pulled Jian Xi into his arms.
"Why is he so big? Why is he so impatient?" Qu Yichen said with a frown. "This place is made of stone. You will be seriously injured if you fall."
Jian Xi did not care about that. She only had one thought at the moment. She had to return to the villa as soon as possible. She was almost sure that hubby Qu had come back.
"Send me back. Now, immediately, send me back." Jian Xi grabbed Qu Yichen's arm and said before she could stand firm.
Qu Yichen frowned even more deeply. Jian Xi did not notice that because she was anxious, she pinched Qu Yichen's arm hard.1
"I know. Calm down. I will send you back immediately." Qu Yichen supported Jian Xi to stand firmly and said comforting words.
"Hurry up!" Jian Xi grabbed Qu Yichen's arm and ran forward as soon as she stood up. In the end, she almost fell to the ground. It was Qu Yichen who reacted quickly and caught Jian Xi to prevent her from falling to the ground.
"Calm down. The more anxious you are, the easier it will be to cause trouble." Qu Yichen helped Jian Xi stand up. When Jian Xi pulled him forward again, Qu Yichen reached out and grabbed Jian Xi to slow her down.
"Hurry up."
How could Jian Xi still calm down? Because of the escape earlier, she had not contacted her father for a long time. Until now, she still did not know how her father was. She already had nothing. She could only capture this one and only family member. Supporting her to continue working hard in this world, if she lost him... She would not know where she should go.
As for things like money, she would not bring it with her life or death.
