Chapter 727 The Depressed Third Brother
Lu Xia stood on the street, her mind in a mess. It was already one o'clock in the afternoon, she had nowhere to go, and she didn't dare go back to the old lady.
She was very afraid that Huo Yulin would do something terrible.
At this time, a motorcycle came speeding by on the side of the road. She didn't notice that her branded bag was hanging on her shoulder. The next moment, the motorcycle approached and she felt a pulling force, and the bag was grabbed by the strap by the motorcyclist.
Lu Xia stumbled and fell to the ground because there was a suitcase in front of her. Her ID and bank card were in the bag, so she reacted quickly and grabbed the strap of the bag without letting go.
The motorcyclist seemed to have not expected that he would fail to snatch the bag. He tried several times but failed. There were pedestrians passing by on the side of the road, so he was afraid of being caught and had to give up.
Soon, the motorcycle drove away and disappeared from the street in the blink of an eye.
A passerby kindly came over and helped Lu Xia up, "Are you okay?"
When Lu Xia fell, the sunglasses on her face fell off. She was afraid of being recognized, so she quickly pulled her hands back to cover her face. She didn't say thank you to anyone, and hurriedly lowered her head to look for her sunglasses on the ground.
Her action of pushing people away made the passerby who helped her up feel a little uncomfortable.
But in the end, he didn't think much of it and said, "There are often motorcycle gangs robbing people on this stretch of road. You'll be easily robbed if you do this."
After a pause, the man looked at Lu Xia again, and then kindly asked, "Did anything get stolen from you? Do you want to call the police?"
When Lu Xia heard the words "call the police", she immediately shook her head in a sharp voice, "No, don't call the police!"
Although she no longer has a good reputation and is not very popular on the Internet, if people knew that she was so poor and ended up in a small county town like this, and that there were rumors that she was robbed, who knows how many netizens would laugh at her.
She would never allow such a shameful thing to happen again.
"I don't need to call the police." Lu Xia murmured again, and then held the bag that was almost stolen tightly in her arms.
As if guarding against something.
The passerby paused holding his phone, and a look of embarrassment flashed across his face.
Is this what it means to be struck by lightning for doing good?
The man put away his phone, said nothing more, and left, just like he had fucked up today.
Lu Xia lowered her head and looked at the scraped palm of her right hand. The pain in her knee reminded her that she absolutely could not stay in this place any longer.
She was kicked out of the hotel and robbed. If she stayed any longer, she didn't know what other accidents would happen next.
Lu Xia shuddered and threw away the purpose of her return. She hailed a taxi on the roadside and asked the driver to take her to the airport.

In the evening, Huo Yulin heaved a sigh of relief after receiving the message from Cheng Ming that "Lu Xia has boarded the plane back to S City".
No matter what the woman wanted to do when she came back, at least she would not be allowed to appear and ruin everyone's mood while he and his sister were still at the old lady's house.
After dinner, Huo Yulin returned to his room, not even in the mood to stare at Min Yu.
To be exact, he had been in a low mood since he met Lu Xia in the morning, because she had brought up the buried darkness in him.
Huo Yao looked at her third brother's back thoughtfully as he left. He had been acting a little weird since he came back with the express in the morning. Although he had behaved normally throughout the day, some subtle emotions still couldn't escape her eyes.
After she spoke a few words to Min Yu, she followed him upstairs.
Go to bed early~If you stay up late, you will become bald like me o(╥﹏╥)o
