Chapter 36: Finding a House (1 / 2)



He looked away in panic, his face slowly turning red.

Huo Zhengye was thankful that the lighting here was bad and his skin was dark, so Shu Wan didn't notice.

At this time, Shu Wan spoke again, "If everything goes well, I will move out as soon as I find a house in the next two days."

Huo Zhengye's thoughts came back to his senses in an instant, and he frowned, "Are you in such a hurry? Do you have enough money to find a house? Have you thought about how you are going to live in the future?"

Shu Wan was a little amused, "If you do this, I will misunderstand that you don't want me to leave."

Huo Zhengye said coldly, "Just don't regret it."

"By the way, after I move out, please hurry up with the divorce. If there's anything you need my cooperation with, I'll do my best to cooperate."

Shu Wan spoke calmly, as if she was talking about what to eat tomorrow, and she didn't look sad at all.

Huo Zhengye discovered that Shu Wan was serious and really wanted a divorce.

I should have been happy that I had gotten rid of Shu Wan's entanglement, but when I heard it with my own ears, I was not as happy as I imagined.

Perhaps it was because it had been delayed for too long that I had lost my joy, Huo Zhengye explained to himself.

The next day, when Huo Zhengye came to deliver breakfast, Shu Wan had already gone into the city.

House rental was not well developed in the 1980s. After looking at several places, Shu Wan was not satisfied with any of them. The houses that were slightly suitable were only sold and not rented.

She could buy a house, but Shu Wan doesn’t have enough money now, and she still needs to save money to buy machines and close the store.

As Shu Wan was walking, she suddenly saw Xu Xiaoling. She was from Haishi, so maybe she had some news.

Walking with Xu Xiaoling was a bloated middle-aged woman, and the two were very close to each other.

"Xiao Ling!"

Shu Wan called out, but Xu Xiaoling seemed not to hear her. Her pace did not slow down, but became faster.

Seeing this, Shu Wan chased after him and called out a few more times.

Xu Xiaoling finally heard it, stopped and looked at Shu Wan.

Xu Xiaoling didn't seem as friendly and cheerful as usual, but instead seemed stiff.

Something is wrong.

Shu Wan glanced at the middle-aged woman next to her. She had narrow, sinister eyes, high cheekbones, and a shrewd look. She looked nothing like Xu Xiaoling.

"Hello, Auntie. I'm Xiaoling's friend. I just happened to meet her and want to talk to her. Is that okay?"

"It's not convenient. I have something to do. Let's talk about it another day." A trace of panic flashed in the middle-aged woman's eyes. She refused directly and pulled Xu Xiaoling away.

Shu Wan stopped the two of them, always feeling that something was wrong, both with Xu Xiaoling and the woman in front of her.

"Just a few minutes, I'll talk to her."

The middle-aged woman looked at him gloomily and anxiously, and urged, “Hurry up!”

The woman had no intention of leaving. She just stood by and watched them talk. She stared at Xu Xiaoling, as if she was afraid she would say something.

There was horror and fear in Xu Xiaoling's eyes.

Shu Wan's eyes flickered slightly, and she smiled and said, "Xiao Ling, is this person next to you your mother? She's quite strict."

Xu Xiaoling pulled the corners of her mouth stiffly.

"I didn't hear clearly what you wanted to say..." Shu Wan moved closer to Xu Xiaoling, and as soon as she got close, she found that Xu Xiaoling was trembling slightly all over!

Shu Wan's heart trembled, and she moved to another position to block the woman's probing gaze.

Now, Shu Wan saw the panic and plea for help in Xu Xiaoling's eyes.

The next second, Shu Wan was pulled away by a huge force, and the woman's face looked extremely ugly.

"Enough of talking, I'm in a hurry!"

After saying that, the woman forcibly dragged Xu Xiaoling away. Xu Xiaoling staggered as she was carried away, and she turned around and instantly sent a distress signal to Shu Wan.

In an instant, Shu Wan realized that she had encountered human traffickers.

Shu Wan didn't care about anything else, pushed the woman away, pulled Xu Xiaoling up and ran away.

Xu Xiaoling did not run, but fell on Shu Wan, her whole body weak, her eyes full of helplessness and despair.

Seeing Xu Xiaoling like this, Shu Wan knew for sure that she had been drugged.
