Chapter 73 Car accident!
The middle-aged woman looked at her calmly: "What do you want me to help you with?"
Su Mengxue was about to speak when she turned and glanced at the little girl beside her. Realizing something was wrong, she lowered her voice and whispered into the middle-aged woman's ear, "I'm pregnant, but I don't want the child. Can you help me get a fake ID and street certificate?"
As soon as she finished speaking, she noticed that the look on the middle-aged woman's face had become even colder. She thought the middle-aged woman would not agree, but she said coldly: "Three days later, at the same time and place, come and pick it up."
Although it was the first time she met the middle-aged woman, she had an inexplicable trust in her. Seeing that she agreed, the stone in her heart fell to the ground instantly, and she quickly said, "Thank you, sister."
"You saved my daughter. This little thing is nothing. From now on, you can just call me Sister Li like everyone else." The middle-aged woman still looked unapproachable and her tone was distant and indifferent.
Su Mengxue noticed the middle-aged woman's disgust towards her and guessed that she was probably dissatisfied with her getting pregnant out of wedlock and having an irresponsible abortion. However, it was difficult to truly empathize with others in this world. She and the middle-aged woman would not have any contact in the future, and she had no intention of explaining any more.
The middle-aged woman had no intention of greeting her. She agreed and left with the little girl.
Su Mengxue returned to the store and had a rare good night's sleep.
The next morning, as soon as she opened the store door, she saw Xu Jianian standing at the door with a backpack slung over his shoulder. He had his hands in his pockets, a sullen look on his face, and his eyes seemed to be filled with ice.
She couldn't help but curl her lips. Xu Jianian looked as if she owed him money. She quickly realized that she didn't go to compete with him and did owe him two hundred yuan.
She walked up to him with a guilty conscience and explained in a low voice: "I'm sorry, I had something urgent to do that day, so I couldn't go. You don't have to look at me like that. I'll pay you back right away."
As she said that, she counted out two hundred yuan from her pocket and handed it to him.
Xu Jianian lowered his eyes and stared at the stack of banknotes. His Adam's apple rolled and he said coldly, "I don't want the money. When are you free?" His voice was as deep as iron, with impatience and an unquestionable sense of oppression.
Su Mengxue was annoyed by his condescending attitude. If he looked down on her, why bother competing with her? She flatly refused, "I'm busy. I can't compete anymore."
Xu Jianian stepped forward, his chin slightly raised: "You don't keep your word?"
Su Mengxue raised her head to meet his gaze and replied confidently, "Who wants to compete with such an arrogant person?"
"The one who stood me up is right?" He sneered, a hint of sarcasm escaping his throat. "You broke the appointment at the last minute and made the teacher wait with me for so long, and now you're picking on me?"
Su Mengxue realized that she was also wrong. She pursed her lips and her voice softened a bit. "Well...well, I did have my reasons. I was busy at the time and couldn't go. It wasn't intentional. I apologized to you, but your attitude and arrogant personality are unbearable for anyone."
Xu Jianian's eyes flashed with disdain: "We are competing, not dating, why do you care about my personality?"
Although Su Mengxue sounded angry when she heard this, she thought on second thought that it made sense. This was the first time she was choked and speechless since she came here.
She paused with an unhappy look on her face and said, "Anyway, I will be very busy with work from now on and I won't have time to compete with you. Here is the money." As she spoke, she pushed the two hundred yuan toward him again.
Xu Jianian still refused to take it: "There's no point in giving money back. If you don't want to compete with me, I'll come back to you. As long as you don't mind me being annoying, that's all."
Seeing that Xu Jianian was about to play rogue with her, Su Mengxue glanced at him sideways, frowned and asked, "Xu Jianian, why do you have to compete with me?"
Xu Jianian's eyebrows moved slightly, and his tone was as cold as iron: "I want to prove that I am better than you."
Su Mengxue spread her hands and replied nonchalantly: "You don't need to prove it, I admit defeat."
"You?" Xu Jianian's jawline tightened. "Su Mengyu, what are you talking about? Do I still need you to let me? What I want is a fair and open contest."
Su Mengxue just felt that men of this era were more stubborn than each other. All she was thinking about now was the abortion. After the abortion, she still had to rest well to recuperate. How could she have the time and mood to compete with him?
She said indifferently, "Whatever you want, I don't have time anyway." Then she stuffed the money into Xu Jianian's hand and turned to walk inside.
Seeing her about to leave, Xu Jianian reached out and pulled her back. He pinched her arm and glared at her, "Su Mengxue, how could you cheat?"
Su Mengxue frowned and asked, "What can you do to me if I'm just cheating?"
A flame suddenly appeared in Xu Jianian's eyes. He unconsciously increased the strength in his hands. After his throat rolled several times, he finally let out a suppressed groan. He shook off Su Mengxue's hand with force and turned away angrily.
Su Mengxue rubbed her arm that was hurt by being squeezed, and when she turned around to go back to the store, she noticed out of the corner of her eye a 3 or 4-year-old girl standing in the middle of the road, at a loss.
Fortunately, there were not many cars on the street at this time. She frowned and trotted towards the little girl, wanting to carry her to the side of the street. Just as she was about to run to the little girl, she clearly saw a layer of green light on the little girl.
Green light? Was the little girl going to bring her danger? She froze in her tracks. Before she could even think, she saw the little girl bounding across the street.
She saw the little girl return to the roadside, so to be on the safe side she decided not to meddle in other people's business. Just as she turned around and walked back, she saw an out-of-control truck rushing towards her.
Her pupils suddenly contracted, but because the incident happened so suddenly, she was at a loss and froze in place, and even a scream was stuck in her throat.
At this critical moment, she saw Xu Jianian rushing towards her quickly. He hugged her waist tightly, and just when the car was about to hit her, he held her and rolled to the side nimbly. The harsh sound of tires rubbing against the ground instantly came to her ears.
She was stunned for a long time before she reacted. She turned her head to look at the out-of-control car and the little girl, and they had all disappeared.
"Su Mengxue, don't you know how to hide?" Xu Jianian's hoarse roar rang in her ears.
Su Mengxue was still in shock. She looked up and met Xu Jianian's red eyes, with anger still lingering in his eyes.
She was about to speak when she noticed blood on his forehead running down his cheek, and a large purple bruise under his torn shirt at his elbow.
She said with a worried look on her face: "Xu Jianian, you are injured."
Xu Jianian casually pulled the hem of his shirt to wipe the blood from his forehead and replied nonchalantly, "It's nothing."
Su Mengxue was still frightened, her voice trembling: "Xu Jianian, I was so grateful to you just now. If it weren't for you, I'm afraid I would be..."
"You don't have to be too moved. I'm just afraid of losing a strong competitor like you."
He thought for a moment, then looked at her, his expression suddenly cold: "Su Mengxue, did you offend someone? I don't think the car just now was out of control, it seems more like it was planned for a long time."
