Chapter 4 Long time no see
An Ning was driven out of the car by Lu Xiyan.
At this time, the sky was covered by dark clouds and heavy rain was pouring down. The rain splashed half a meter high on the ground and smudged around her white and crystal legs.
The heavy rain poured down on her head, soaking her from head to toe.
On the wide road, the rushing water rubbed against the white surface of her shoes. The rain blurred her vision. She stared at the black luxury car speeding past her. The speeding rain splashed on her. It was getting farther and farther away in her hazy vision until the red taillights disappeared into the dark night.
An Ning walked in the rain to the door of a closed shop on the roadside. The half-meter-wide eaves barely shielded her from the heavy rain.
She stared at the direction where the black car disappeared, slowly squatted on the ground, hugged her knees tightly with her hands, breathed deeply, and suppressed the emotions churning in her heart.
I don’t know if it was rain or tears, but they were sliding down her pale face, hot and cool, flowing continuously.
She held the only chocolate left in the bag tightly, as if she was afraid it would get wet in the rain.
......
The heavy rain was just as heavy as the day she left four years ago.
The black luxury car was hidden on the roadside not far away, and its body without lights on almost blended into the night.
The man in the driver's seat had high eyebrows, deep eyes, a handsome face, and thin lips pursed into a straight line. His eyes were as turbulent as the undercurrent of the deep sea, but there was a dark red at the corners of his eyes that no one noticed.
His eyes were fixed on the slender figure in the distance.
The dim street light in front of the store shone on her curled up figure. She hugged herself tightly, her thin back bent in an arc like a curled up shrimp.
Because of the heavy rain, her thin clothes stuck tightly to her body, clearly outlining her figure.
As if it would break with the slightest touch.
Such a pitiful look again!
The man's bony hands tightly gripped the steering wheel, veins bulged on the back of his hands, and his fingertips trembled.
If Lu Xiyan had not seen her heartless look four years ago, he would have been fooled by her pitiful appearance!
The rain four years ago was much heavier than this one, and it made his bones ache.
On that rainy night, her bone-chilling words were still echoing in his ears.
"Lu Xiyan, I just want to see how you rich young men are different from us ordinary people when it comes to love."
"Lu Xiyan, I've had enough of this game. Let's break up."
He put aside all his dignity and begged her humbly, "An Ning, I can fight and seize it. As long as you don't leave, I will take over the entire Lu Group and show you!"
She sneered, "Lu Xiyan, don't you understand? I've always been after your money, that's all, nothing else. Now I'm tired of playing around, I don't even want your money anymore."
She pushed him away like a clingy pug.
At the end of the quarrel, she decided to leave.
He knelt dejectedly on the ground, speaking harshly in the softest of words, "An Ning, if you leave, don't ever come back!"
She seemed not to hear him and completely disappeared from his world.
Four years.
The man's crimson eyes stared at the figure that had stood up from the ground. "It's been four years, An Ning. It's been a long time since we last met."
......
The rain was pouring down with no sign of stopping.
An Ning stood up from the ground and rubbed her numb knees. It was time for her to go back.
An Xian has a habit of having to see her before going to bed, otherwise he will cry.
She stood on the side of the road and looked around. It would cost more money to take a taxi back from here. There was a bus stop a few hundred meters ahead, and there were buses at this time.
She was already wet, so she didn't mind getting wet a little longer.
Just as I was about to rush into the rain, I suddenly heard the sound of footsteps running towards me in the rain.
Then a brand new umbrella was handed to her.
An Ning looked up and saw a woman in her forties, holding an umbrella in one hand and handing it to her with the other. She smiled and said, "Luckily I made it in time. I almost thought you were gone."
An Ning was confused, and the woman continued, "Girl, the rain is too heavy and it won't stop for a while. Here's the umbrella for you. Hold it and go."
It turned out that he was lending her an umbrella.
This kind gesture at this time really warmed An Ning's heart. She looked at the woman's kind face and the new umbrella with the label still on it, and wanted to pay.
The woman waved her hand generously, "No, no, you can use it."
An Ning just thought she had met a warm-hearted older sister, so she thanked her and left after she left with an umbrella.
In the car far away, the dark red eyes of the man in the driver's seat had regained clarity. He watched the figure holding the umbrella blur in the rain, and then become clear after the wipers passed by. His eyes showed no sadness or joy.
The loud ringing of the cell phone interrupted the damp memories.
The man glanced at the caller ID and hesitated for two seconds before picking up the phone.
"Xiyan, why haven't you arrived yet?" A woman's beautiful and gentle voice came from the other end of the line. "Didn't you agree to have dinner with me today? Where are you now?"
The man held his phone, started the car and drove slowly, staring at the figure in front of him holding an umbrella, folding the umbrella and getting on the bus. "I was busy and wasted time."
"It's okay." The woman's tone was not at all blaming. "Come over at what time? I'll wait for you."
"I'll be there in a minute."
The black luxury car followed the bus in front for a distance, then looked at the time, turned the steering wheel, and drove in the opposite direction.
......
In a luxurious hotel box, a beautiful young woman looked at the hung up phone and made another call.
"Liang Xu, are you and Xiyan still working overtime at the company? When will you get off work?"
The woman's rosy lips curved into a smile.
"Xi Yan had a meeting this afternoon and left, saying she was going to the hospital to see Bai Yi." The other person jokingly said, "Miss Cheng, if you want to know what Mr. Lu is doing, why don't you just call him? You're both about to get engaged, and you're still being so polite?"
"I'm just afraid of disturbing him." Cheng Wanwan lowered her eyebrows and smiled, "I see. I'll ask him."
After hanging up the phone, the woman's smile disappeared instantly.
Then, his slender fingers made another phone call.
"Manny, Xiyan went to the hospital to see Bai Yi this afternoon. Is she still with you now?"
"Brother Xiyan left a long time ago." The other party said, and then asked, "Wanwan, An Ning is back, did you know?"
The woman's hand trembled, and the expression on her charming face froze instantly.
"You mean, An Ning?"
"Yes, it's Brother Xiyan's ex-wife, An Ning. I saw her in the hospital today, and I almost thought I had mistaken her..."
