7: Chapter 07 Fifty Steps, You Can See Me_1 7: Chapter 07 Fifty Steps, You Can See Me_1 Nanxi stared at the string of numbers beginning with 136 that Liang Qiaoqiao had sent to her phone, lacking the courage to dial it for a long time…
Returning the handkerchief…
Although it held with the age-old Chinese tradition of borrowing and returning what’s borrowed, would a respectable CEO care about one measly handkerchief?!
So initially, Nanxi planned to ask Liang Qiaoqiao to return it, perhaps it could help her rekindle her lost connection!
However, to her surprise, Liang Qiaoqiao, after some startles and dreads, unwillingly responded, “Since you said that guy was average and not worthy of me, I’ve lost interest in meeting him, I won’t go!” Immediately, she hung up the phone.
Twenty seconds later, a text arrived:
——Since it’s a problem you created, you deal with it!
Along with a string of phone numbers!
Later, Nanxi pondered for three days whether she should make that call.
During this time, she washed the blue handkerchief three times, each time trying to wear it away…
That way, she’d have a good excuse while on the call, something like, “Ah, sorry, Mr.
Lu, your handkerchief appears to be of terrible quality.
I’ve accidentally washed it to shreds.
Do you still want it…?”
But, unfortunately, the handkerchief turned out to be of quite excellent quality…
So, on the fourth day, Nanxi, conceding defeat, dialed the 136 number…
The ring went on for over thirty seconds without anyone answering.
Just as Nanxi, frowning, was about to hang up, relieved, a low and magnetic male voice said, “Hello, this is Lu Yinchu…”
By the time Nanxi stepped out of her dorm, Lan Qiqi was already waiting there in a long black skirt, her hair tied up neatly into a ponytail exuding an air of competence and freshness, quite the aura of a queen…
Nanxi asked her, “Leaving?”
Yang Su interjected, “Aren’t you to return the handkerchief?
There are so many bad people in this world.
You’re so naive and stupid, what if you get tricked… Lanlan is a black belt in Taekwondo, she should accompany you!”
Nanxi, touching her forehead, felt touched that they were caring about her safety, but what did they mean by her being naive and stupid?
Where was she naive and stupid?!…
In the end, Nanxi went out alone.
The explanation she gave was that the person she was about to meet was her future potential brother-in-law…
Her cousin, Liang Qiaoqiao, was on good terms with her dorm mates.
They liked Qiaoqiao who was older and often took them to gatherings and outings.
On the subject of the man Qiaoqiao was considering, they felt relieved…
Because if Nanxi really was bullied, the first to get angry would be Qiaoqiao, and her cruel methods were far more formidable than those of Lan Qiqi…
While Lan Qiqi practiced Taekwondo, Liang Qiaoqiao specialized in women’s boxing + Judo, and both were at high levels…
Upon leaving the school gates, Nanxi looked for the value-of-hundreds-of-thousands newest model Land Rover she was fortunate to see a few days ago, then her phone rang: a call from the 136 number…
“Walk fifty steps to your left, and you’ll see me…”
On the phone, the man’s magnetic voice was warm and pleasing…
Nanxi did as he ordered and indeed saw a familiar car enter her sight.
Although she couldn’t see his face clearly from afar, Nanxi was sure that it was him…
Nanxi waved a hand at the car and then ran towards it.
As she got closer, she finally saw the man’s face.
It even seemed that, on his lips…there was a smile…
Nanxi walked up to the car, knocked on the window, the window rolled down but before she even opened her mouth, the man spoke first, coldly giving two words, “Get in!”
