Xu Zhuohua walked along the road wrapped in her clothes. The sky gradually darkened, and the twilight deepened, making the road feel cold under her feet.
She grew angrier and angrier as she walked, practically frozen solid. She cursed fiercely, "That bastard Cheng Muyun, he's as stubborn as a mule, he won't listen to a word I say! Chen Hede, you better find a way to deal with Cheng Muyun, or I'll slap him every time I see him!"
She walked for nearly two hours before finally reaching the street near the Paramount from the back door of the Xu residence.
It's likely that Cheng Muyun discovered she was missing a long time ago, and has no idea how chaotic the Xu family is now.
Thinking about these things made Xu Zhuohua feel a little better.
It would be better if they all went crazy, especially Cheng Muyun, so he could also experience the feeling of unease.
Xu Zhuohua packed some clothes and walked to the opposite side of the Paramount. Just as she was about to cross the street, she saw military vehicles parked in front of the Paramount, with several people in military uniforms guarding them.
Xu Zhuohua didn't know many of the people around Cheng Muyun, and she didn't recognize the people standing in front of the Paramount.
Xu Zhuohua silently took a few steps back. If these people were Cheng Muyun's men, then his two hours of walking would have been for nothing.
I glanced at the bustling street and then my eyes fell on the pear orchard not far away. Two huge lanterns hung at the entrance, their red lights casting a red glow on the steps in the darkness.
Xu Zhuohua turned a corner, wrapped her clothes tightly around herself, and entered the pear garden.
With the New Year approaching, the decorations in the pear garden have been completely renewed. The eye-catching golden lanterns have all been replaced with all kinds of flower lanterns, the most beautiful of which is the lotus lantern hanging in the center of the hall.
The hand-tied petals were so lifelike, delicate and pretty, that they illuminated the entire hall.
Xu Zhuohua was stunned; what a grand gesture!
The servant blocked Xu Zhuohua's path and asked, "Miss, where is your ticket?"
Xu Zhuohua had always come with Cheng Muyun before and had never bought a ticket. She was stunned. She had no ticket and no money.
Mei Heming is currently at the height of his fame, and tickets are often hard to come by. Many dignitaries and important figures come to see him, making it even more difficult for her to see Mei Heming than to see Chen Hede.
Why did you suddenly decide to find Chen Hede through Mei Heming?
Xu Zhuohua smiled awkwardly: "Sorry, I don't have a ticket. I'm here to find someone."
Seeing that Xu Zhuohua was dressed quite elegantly and was both beautiful and reasonable, the servant did not immediately send her away. Instead, he asked, "Who is Miss looking for?"
"Is Deputy Director Chen of the French Concession here?"
The servant shook his head. "Deputy Director Chen hasn't been to the pear orchard for a long time."
Xu Zhuohua smiled and nodded. "When will Mr. Mei take a break?"
The servant's eyes shifted, and he glanced at Xu Zhuohua up and down before saying seriously, "Mr. Mei has to meet with an important person after this. If you want to see Mr. Mei, Miss, you'll be disappointed. It's so cold today, Miss, please go back."
Xu Zhuohua's eyes darkened, and she turned and left the pear orchard. Sitting on the steps at the entrance of the orchard, she sighed repeatedly.
Without Cheng Muyun, she was just a nobody, and it would be even more difficult for her to meet important figures. She couldn't just go to the police station to find Chen Hede, could she?
So what exactly is Chen Hede busy with?
Xu Zhuohua's feet were numb from the cold, her nose was red from the cold, and her whole body was freezing, but she would rather endure the cold than go back and be locked up by Cheng Muyun.
For someone like E who yearns for freedom, this is nothing short of mental torture.
Xu Zhuohua stood up and stomped her feet repeatedly, trying to warm up her body.
Just as she was feeling so cold and disoriented, she suddenly heard a familiar voice behind her.
"Miss Xu?"
Xu Zhuohua thought she had misheard and did not respond. The person called out again, and Xu Zhuohua was startled and turned around.
Chen Hede was wearing a black leather jacket with the collar slightly turned up. His hands were casually in his pockets, and his shoulders were slightly tense. His shadow was stretched long by the lantern, giving him a sense of aloofness. He looked like he had just come from the Peking Opera.
That damned servant, he actually lied to me!
Chen Hede rushed over to Xu Zhuohua and asked, "What are you doing here?"
The man carried the warmth of the room, and Xu Zhuohua couldn't help but move closer to him. She placed her hands on Chen Hede's forearms, opened her eyes wide, and said, "I came to find you."
Chen Hede's gaze was deep. The moment Xu Zhuohua approached, his heart skipped a beat. Drawn by the aura emanating from the person before him, he couldn't help but take a deep breath.
Xu Zhuohua's scorching heat wafted over, and Chen Hede's eyes widened abruptly. "What's wrong with you?"
Chen Hede reached out and touched Xu Zhuohua's forehead; it was very hot. He asked anxiously, "How long have you been waiting outside?"
Xu Zhuohua felt weak all over, her eyelids were heavy, and her steps were unsteady. She endured the discomfort, took out an envelope from her pocket, and handed it to Chen Hede.
"Xiao Wuxin's letter tells you to stop Cheng Muyun."
Chen Hede suddenly hugged Xu Zhuohua. In her last moments before losing consciousness, Xu Zhuohua said, "Don't send me back. I don't want to be locked up."
Chen Hede hurriedly took off his coat, wrapped it around Xu Zhuohua, and held her in his arms, his mind replaying Xu Zhuohua's last words.
"Don't send me back, I don't want to be locked up."
After returning to Xinhai City, the Cheng family kept telling everyone that Xu Zhuohua was ill, and Chen Hede believed it to be true. This trip to Dongzhou was truly dangerous.
He had enough trust in Cheng Muyun and had witnessed how the two of them would risk everything for each other, so he never doubted that Cheng Muyun would imprison Xu Zhuohua.
Chen Hede took Xu Zhuohua to the French hospital, where the doctor removed Xu Zhuohua's clothes to cool her down.
