However, he looked embarrassed and didn't want to take Guaiguai back.

Xu Tao pouted, shook off her hand, and walked back angrily, "If you don't want to, forget it. I still don't want to."

She was a little unhappy. She had thought he would happily agree, but the other party's reaction made her heart sink. She began to doubt whether what she had thought before was right.

Xu Chuan hurriedly ran up and said, "No, dear, don't be angry, I will take you there now."

My hand was held tightly, and seeing the other person's anxious look, I couldn't vent my anger no matter how angry I was.

When she got there, she finally understood why they hadn't wanted her to come. Her nose felt sore, tears welled up in her eyes, and she pinched her palms hard.

She originally thought that walking through the long, dark, and sewage corridor was the limit of what she could endure, but now seeing the dilapidated four-person room in front of her, she could no longer hold it in.

The house with leaks on all sides reminded her of the past days. Why should she give her life to others when it was clearly her own?

"Good boy, I'm sorry."

The man was at a loss, wanting to step forward but not daring to. Xu Tao lowered her head, wiped away her tears, and forced a smile on her face.

"Where is your place? Let's clean it up first."

No matter what she said, it would be pale. She had to get herself moving as soon as possible.

"Oh, great, you can find such a pretty girl. Please introduce her to me."

The middle-aged man leaned against the door frame with a cigarette in his mouth, looking around from top to bottom.

This figure, big where it should be, curly where it should be, long and curly eyelashes, and a red little mouth is so tempting... I don't know what kind of luck this poor boy has to find such a beautiful girl.

The two people who were concentrating on cleaning up were interrupted by the sudden sound. They looked up and frowned.

Xu Chuan's face darkened instantly, veins popped on his forehead, and he clenched his fists, ready to attack.

Xu Tao quickly stopped him and shook his head.

Seeing this, the middle-aged man spoke even more aggressively and came closer, "Little sister, let me help you."

As he spoke, he was about to touch the slender, white and soft little hand, his eyes full of provocation.

Xu Chuan pulled the man into his arms, raised his leg and kicked at the man's knee, punching him left and right again and again, his eyes red and bloodshot, like a violent lion.

Things happened so quickly that by the time Xu Tao reacted, the middle-aged man's face was covered in blood and he looked horrible. She hurried forward and grabbed her furious boyfriend.

"It's okay, it's okay."

Seeing the little guy's panic, Xu Chuan felt a pang in his heart. Why was he always so useless and couldn't do anything right?

"I'm sorry, sweetheart. I scared you."

"I'm going to call the police. Just wait and see. I'll definitely put this bastard in jail. Unless you let this girl stay with me for three days and give her 100,000 yuan, I can pretend this never happened."

The middle-aged man was very proud. He was too young to fight him. He did it on purpose. He didn't fight back just now. He made a lot of money by using this trick.

Baring his yellow teeth, he looked so disgusting that it made people want to vomit. A flash of paranoia flashed in Xu Chuan's eyes, and he said calmly: "Be good, I'll take you back first. Don't be afraid, leave the rest to me."

Xu Tao's heart skipped a beat. She always felt that something was wrong with Xu Chuan, but she couldn't tell what it was. Maybe she was overthinking it.

Holding her boyfriend's hand, she whispered, "Don't say anything or do anything for a while. Leave it to me, or I'll be angry."

Her expression was serious and earnest, and Xu Chuan was the most susceptible to her.

Sure enough, the man beside him nodded and stood silently at the back, but his fists were still tightly clenched, ready to rush forward if he noticed anything wrong.

Such a big commotion didn't attract anyone. He checked around and found no cameras. The corners of his mouth curled up. He raised his hand to pull open his collar and ruffle his hair.

Xu Chuan was stunned, "Good boy..."

Xu Tao stopped him from speaking, sat on the ground and fluttered around a few times, getting her whole body dirty, and then found an angle to pinch herself twice.

"Go ahead, I'm going to sue you, let's see who you believe. We were just acting in self-defense, let's see who stays in there longer."

The middle-aged man appeared calm on the surface, but he was panicking inside. He shouted fiercely, "I wasn't brought up to be scared. If you want to go, go ahead. It's not me who did that to you. Who can prove it?"

Looking at his expression, Xu Tao felt that everything was stable.

"Haha, okay, then call the police. You also said there's no evidence, so who can prove that we were the ones who beat you up?

Besides, you are so skilled at extorting people. This is not the first or second time you have done this. When the time comes, let the police investigate and they will know who is lying. In addition, you have to compensate me for mental damages and lost wages!"

Xu Chuan's eyes were always on the little girl standing in front of him. A warm current flowed through his heart, his expression became relaxed and gentle, and the hostility in his body disappeared without a trace.

"You...you, I don't have time to talk nonsense with you, get out of here!"

The middle-aged man was not well-educated and did not know the credibility of the other party's words. However, he did not dare to gamble, and usually only dared to blackmail young men and women. He did not expect that he would run into a tough guy this time.

Xu Tao didn't want to argue anymore. After all, she knew that some of her words were just to scare people, and she wouldn't gain any advantage even if she went.

I took out a piece of paper and wrote a certificate and asked him to sign it. Although I don’t know if it will be useful, it is better than being caught without any preparation.

The middle-aged man didn't want to sign at first, but when he felt the sinister gaze of the man behind him, he reluctantly signed his name and pressed his fingerprints.

After all the hassles, they got home around midnight. Xu Chuan still had to go to work tomorrow, so he should rest early and get enough sleep.

After saying good night, Xu Tao went back to her room to wash up and go to bed. A lot had happened today, both physically and mentally, so she soon fell into a sweet dream.

Xu Chuan sat in front of the window, his eyes empty and blurry, not knowing what he was thinking.

Xu Tao had a good night's sleep. She got up, ate the breakfast in the pot, and continued to pack the express delivery.

She had cleared out most of her stock, and she could keep the rest for herself.

Fortunately, she preserved it well and the style was very popular. Some people even paid a higher price to buy it. In the end, she sold it for almost 500,000 yuan, so she didn't lose much.

After packing everything up, she planned to go out and look for a house.

The house I currently live in is over 150 square meters and the rent is 12,000 yuan a month. It is too much of a burden and there is no need to rent such a big and nice house.

Around 5,000 a month was her ideal price. She had other things she wanted to do, so she needed some start-up capital. Once the seller received the goods and paid the final payment, she could start preparing.

"Aunt Qin, hello uncle, I'm back from buying groceries!"

After walking a few steps out of the door, Xu Tao saw Aunt Qin coming back with her husband and greeted them politely.

"Yeah, Xiaotao, where are you going?"

"I'm going to see if there's a suitable house. Aunt Qin, I'm leaving first. Please go slowly."

After saying this, Xu Tao was about to leave. The rent was due in three days, so she had to settle down as soon as possible.
