The drizzle fell lightly on the umbrella, and Jiang Xi connected the phone and put it in front of her ears.

"Hello."

The call was quiet, as silent as a signal interruption.

She said hello again.

There was no answer, and a busy voice came from the call a few seconds later.

I was just worried about missing the job message when answering the phone. The other party didn't call again. It should have been just a mistake, and Jiang Xi was not relieved.

When she drove home, Xia Xinyan was tinkering with her flowers under the eaves. When she saw Jiang Xi coming back, she looked up and said, "I'm back."

Jiang Xi walked under the eaves and put away the umbrella.

Xia Xinyan knew that she was going out to meet Chen Lin, but she didn't ask anything, just asking if she was full.

Jiang Xi leaned against the wall and sat down on the rattan chair next to her: "I'm full."

"I made some small biscuits in the kitchen, and you will take some back later." Xia Xinyan cut off a piece of dead leaves.

"OK."

Half a month ago, Xia Xinyan was trying hard to match Jiang Xi and Chen Lin, but she didn't mention it once after returning home this time.

Jiang Xi'an quietly watched Xia Xinyan prune the leaves of the potted plants.

Xia Xinyan didn't say it, and she didn't raise this topic. After a while, Xia Xinyan spoke: "Xiao Xi, are you feeling and conditioning recently?"

Xia Xinyan tried her best to ask this sentence casually, and Jiang Xi could hear it. She smiled and said, "Look, I'm not doing well recently?"

Everything at home is normal, no difference from before. Xia Xinyan said: "Auntie is just asking you."

Jiang Xi nodded.

It was just these few casual words that Jiang Xi immediately guessed that Xia Xinyan probably saw the news, which is why she has not matched Jiang Xi and Chen Lin recently.

Xia Xinyan has always been careless about the love affairs of several children. When Jiang Xi and Lu Nandu were in love, she just knew roughly that Jiang Xi was in love and didn't ask too much, but she knew about Lu Nandu a little.

The child is sweet-mouthed and would greet her several times when he met her. But after a while, Xia Xinyan gradually forgot about it.

Until this time the rumors of Jiang Xi appeared. There were few scandals to get involved in Jiang Xi's temperament. The only two times appeared recently. However, Jiang Xi and Cen Wanzhe did not believe that Xia Xinyan did not believe that, but this time she knew it was not fake.

In recent years, Jiang Xi has been anxious because Jiang Xi has not yet moved yet.

"Xiao Xi, you don't like Chen Lin, and my aunt won't set up a thread for you anymore. I won't urge you anymore. What kind of person do you like and what kind of person you want to get married in the future, my aunt respects your choice. For such a thing, it's better to choose someone you are satisfied with."

"Why did you suddenly talk about this?"

Xia Xinyan put down her scissors and took off her gloves: "Didn't I keep talking? I haven't seen you since I said it last year."

Jiang Xi smiled: "No hurry."

Xia Xinyan moved several small potted plants to the wall and said, "Yes, there are benefits of not being anxious, so you can find some details."

After Jiang Xi helped Xia Xinyan move flowers and plants, the two of them entered the house together.

When Jiang Xi was about to go to the airport, Xia Xinyan went to the kitchen to pack a box of hot biscuits and came out: "Take it back for food, remember to have a good meal there."

"This has been said no less than ten times since last night." Jiang Xi smiled.

"It is beneficial to say more, otherwise you won't have a memory."

Xia Xinyan sent her to the door. The rain didn't stop outside, and Jiang Xi didn't let her come out.

The plane landed in the capital at 3:00 pm in the evening.

The air in the capital is dry and cold, unlike the small towns in the south. After a few days of rainy days at home, I was a little uncomfortable when I came back.

Jiang Xi left the airport and went straight home.

The last time Jiang Chi bought a lot of snacks on the table, but he almost never moved them. That day he came over and opened a bag of potato chips.

This bag of snack reminded Jiang Xi to order takeout. She carried a bag of puffed food and opened it, and ordered a meal with her mobile phone.

The house is quiet, but she doesn't think it's too deserted.

Tong Yun never let her eat junk food. Jiang Xi hasn't eaten these things for too long. She felt a little uncomfortable when she just ate half a pack.

When I get older, I really feel that I am not as good as when I was young.

As soon as I put down the potato chips, the phone I threw on the sofa suddenly lit up.

Jiang Xi touched her cell phone and the number was a little familiar. She remembered that it was the phone number at noon. This time the other party did not dial, but sent a text message.

It was the Maybach owner who scratched a few months ago. Contact her to talk about the relevant compensation.

This incident has been too long since I remembered to contact compensation now. Jiang Xi found it strange, but didn't think much about it. After all, she was in the wrong and shaved someone else's car.

The owner of the car happened to have time now, so he sent her an address, and Jiang Xi put on her coat and went out.

She navigated according to the address given by the other party and finally stopped in a villa area. The geographical location was excellent but not noisy, and the territory was not cheap.

This was as expected by Jiang Xi. Those who could drive Maybach were either rich or noble.

Jiang Xi stopped in front of a single house, with an ivory and Western style. She pushed the door and got out of the car, and only the floor-to-ceiling window on the second floor in the house was shining with a ray of light.

Jiang Xi did not enter the yard and stood outside and called the other party, but the phone was not answered.

She got the address right, and it was this place. Just as she was about to call again, the other party replied to her.

-Second floor study room, come in directly.

She also told her the location of the study on the second floor.

Even though Jiang Xi was calm and did not chew on the back, he subconsciously said two words in his mind when he looked at this text message, and he was sick.

But she didn't say anything, she took her phone back into her pocket and pushed the door open.

The first floor of the villa is lit up, so clean that it is too deserted, and it is a long time since people lived in it, or there is only one owner in the house.

Too quiet.

Jiang Xi did not look around and went straight up the stairs. The second floor was not as bright as the first floor, and only a wall light was turned on.

A layer of light and shadow covered the wall, and the surroundings were silent.

The study room was in the west direction, Jiang Xi walked over and stopped in front of the door. The door was closed, and she raised her hand and knocked on the door.

"Hello."

I originally thought someone would come to open the door, but after waiting for a while, there was no movement.

Jiang Xi frowned slightly, pressed the door handle, and the study room was pitch black.

She was just feeling something was wrong, and the next second she was pulled from behind her wrist and was pulled into the opposite room in a blink of an eye.

Without any time to react, Jiang Xi was already controlled. When the cold and thin blade was pressed against her neck, Jiang Xi was stunned. Something wet and hot was stuck to her neck.

The man behind him had a strong heartbeat, and he was breathing in a slight way, and his hands were so hard that he seemed to crush her.

Her arm hit the switch beside the door.

Even in this situation, Jiang Xi was not panicked, and only frowned slightly between his eyebrows and spoke calmly: "Who are you?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the knife behind him pressed against her neck tightened.

Jiang Xi had no idea what the intentions behind her were. To her surprise, he seemed to be slowly letting go of her, with hesitation.

That is, when he hesitated, Jiang Xi bumped his arm back, but the man reacted quickly and blocked her attack.

While struggling, the door switch was turned on, and the room was lit up instantly. Jiang Xi was stunned when he saw the people behind him clearly.

The hesitation and ruthlessness in Lu Nandu's eyes when he saw Jiang Xi was instantly faded away.

He looked at Jiang Xi and shouted blankly: "Sister."

This look reminded Jiang Xi of the chaotic feeling when she woke up in a dream, and her eyes fell on Lu Nandu's hand.

Lu Nandu seemed to have reacted at this time, and his hands quickly hid behind him, like a child who did something wrong.

Uneasy, fear.

Jiang Xi felt strange. When she entered the door just now, she could even feel that Lu Nandu didn't recognize her, or that she had mistakenly recognized her for someone else.

Lu Nandu looked at her neck and wanted to speak but stopped. Jiang Xi knew roughly what he wanted to say and asked, "Where is the bathroom?"

Lu Nandu signaled her to be there: "Bathroom."

Jiang Xi glanced back and said nothing, turned around and entered the bathroom.

The frosted glass door separates the people outside, and the lights hit the wall mirror and ceramic tiles. Jiang Xi walked to the side of the yuwashing platform.

She glanced at her neck, which was stained with blood in her glasses. She was white and blood-red and particularly dazzling.

Jiang Xi knew that this was not her blood. After a few seconds, she looked away and bent down and washed away the blood stains on it.

When he came out of the bathroom, Lu Nandu was still standing in the same place. When he saw her coming out, his eyes had nowhere to rest.

Jiang Xi had no emotions on her face, leaned against the door and asked him: "Do you have a medical box at home?"

Lu Nandu only stared at her neck.

Jiang Xi knew what he was looking at, but didn't hear him answer and no longer asked, looking around the room.
