An Xia didn't expect it to be such a coincidence.

The old man’s grandson turned out to be Chu Nantian.

Chu Nantian was also surprised to see An Xia.

I didn't expect that the rebellious girl who ran away from home for love mentioned by my grandma would actually be An Xia.

but……

"Xiao Liu?"

Grandma said that this rebellious girl was called Liu Xia.

An Xia touched her neck awkwardly.

For fear of being found by Lu Beichuan, An Xia had to hide her real name and changed her surname to a more popular one.

The old man stood beside the two of them, his curious eyes constantly scanning them back and forth, guessing something and asking.

"Do you two know each other?"

Just as An Xia was about to shake her head, Chu Nantian said, "I know her. She's one of my partners."

The old man was shocked.

"Your company is so powerful, so she is your partner..."

The old man's voice became weaker and weaker, and there was a hint of doubt and wariness in his eyes when he looked at An Xia.

An Xia covered her face helplessly.

After all, the truth will come out.

Chu Nantian has been in Jiangcheng all this time, and Lu Beichuan has provoked him by looking for someone like crazy, so looking at An Xia's reaction, he can guess her predicament at the moment.

After thinking about it, he took the initiative to help An Xia out.

"She studied art and often came to this small village to collect folk songs. You also know that the neighboring counties have some tourist projects that charge fees and cheat many tourists. I guess Miss Liu is afraid of being cheated, so she concealed her identity."

Chu Nantian gave An Xia a look, and An Xia nodded immediately.

"Correct."

When the old man heard this, he let down his guard.

But judging from his grandson's attitude towards the girl, he seemed quite friendly.

The two are old acquaintances, and the fact that they can maintain this attitude shows that the girl is not a bad person.

"Okay, then you guys sit in the living room and chat slowly. I'm going to cook."

The old man took the soy sauce bottle from An Xia and went to the kitchen to work.

Chu Nantian raised his eyebrows, and An Xia followed him to the living room and sat down.

My heart was beating fast with panic, and the next second I heard Chu Nantian chuckle.

"Boss Lu has been working non-stop for a while and has almost turned the whole Jiangcheng upside down."

An Xia bit her lip.

Sure enough, Lu Beichuan would not let her go easily.

“If I catch you and send you to Lu Beichuan, then those hundreds of millions of projects of Lu’s company…” Chu Nantian said with a playful smile.

An Xia panicked and subconsciously grabbed his hand in fear and pleading manner.

"Don't."

"I beg you."

"Don't tell him I'm here."

Chu Nantian was startled, his eyes fell on the pair of fair little hands tightly grasping his wrists. His ears began to heat up unconsciously and a flush flashed across his face.

When he met An Xia's watery, pleading eyes, his heart softened unconsciously.

He stopped joking and said seriously, "I was just joking, don't be nervous."

An Xia didn't believe it and didn't let go.

Chu Nantian somewhat regretted his bad taste in saying something rude.

"Really. I won't take you to see him. Nor will I tell him your location. I've heard a little bit about what he did to you some time ago. As a man, I despise trash like him who only knows how to force himself on women."

An Xi then loosened his grip a little.

The warmth on his wrist was gradually dissipating, and Chu Nantian felt inexplicably dissatisfied.

After realizing his own abnormality, Chu Nantian quickly turned his head away, suppressing the inappropriate emotions that kept arising in his heart.

His eyes glanced around awkwardly.

I noticed that the sweeping robot I bought three years ago was finally released, the light ring of the smart speaker finally lit up and worked, and there were also floor scrubbers, dehumidifiers, and air purifiers...

He was a little surprised to find that all these things he had bought several years ago were finally put to use.

No wonder grandma was so excited and happy when she introduced this "Xiao Liu" on the phone. It turned out that someone helped her research and teach these things.

Chu Nantian turned his head and couldn't help but ask curiously: "Why are you here?"

If Lu Beichuan knew that the person he was looking for, whom he had searched all over Jiangcheng and blocked by land, sea and air, was actually in a small town less than 30 kilometers away from Tianzhu Garden, I wonder how unhappy he would be.

Chu Nantian knew about her and Lu Beichuan, so there was no need for An Xia to hide it from him.

She told him about her experience of running all the way here from the next village, but she concealed the part about how Shen Huaian helped her escape from the hospital.

Chu Nantian looked at An Xia with complicated eyes.

How did she manage to run more than ten kilometers on foot with such a small body?

"Boss Chu, I know that I signed a joint contract with you before, but I really don't have the time and energy to submit the manuscript within the specified time. I have handed over all the work matters to Qingtian, and he will take care of the contract compensation. Don't worry."

An Xia hurriedly explained.

An Xia had been thinking about this matter all those days when Lu Beichuan locked her up in the hospital.

She didn't want to let Chu Nantian down, but she really couldn't contact the outside world, so this matter could only be dragged on.

It was fate that he could meet her today, so An Xia took this opportunity to make things clear to him.

"During the time when I couldn't contact you, I have contacted Qingtian and told him that the submission deadline can be extended indefinitely." Chu Nantian said.

An Xia was stunned.

This practice is undoubtedly putting your own brand at risk.

The news of the cooperation between the two companies was sent out very early, and the expectant customers have been waiting, but there has been no follow-up on this matter.

This will wear out the patience and trust of the guests.

It would be fine if it is a new customer, but if there are regular customers among the waiting customers, then potential sales will be consumed.

These are all potential risks.

Yu Lin is a newly established company, so there is actually nothing to lose from this happening.

Kejinshang is a mature brand.

There is absolutely no need to risk your brand image.

"Boss Chu, you don't have to be like this..."

Chu Nantian knew her concerns, so he smiled back at her.

"Just think of it as me paying you back the penalty for breach of contract."

An Xia's eyes became hot.

Chu Nantian couldn't stand the red eyes of girls. His trouble-making sister at home would cry to satisfy his unreasonable demands once her eyes turned red. Chu Nantian was afraid of being tortured by her for so many years, so he waved his hands quickly.

"Don't cry, grandma will think I did something to you when she comes out. How am I going to explain it to you then?"

Chu Nantian had always been calm and composed, and it was rare for him to show a hint of panic. An Xia couldn't help laughing.

"Thank you, Mr. Chu, for always sticking with me when I was at my lowest point." An Xia's words were not an exaggeration at all.

That was the low point in my career, and now it is the low point in my life.

They were obviously not familiar with each other, but the support they gave was something that many so-called friends could not give.
