The long-distance bus made stops through the villages for over half an hour, and finally got on the provincial road.
Zheng Xus people hadnt arrived yet, and Xiao Qian estimated that as long as they reach the provincial road and accelerate, the bus would make fewer stops.
She was unsure whether Chu Xue would chase after them.
In a normal analysis, a regular person wouldnt do such a thing.
But Chu Xue was not an ordinary person, Xiao Qian had analyzed her in her past life, Chu Xue was not short of intelligence, after Chen Lin divorced in their past life, he immediately relocated, and Chu Xue spotted the opportunity to marry him immediately. Most of Chen Lins fortune later must have been manipulated by this woman.
If Xiao Qians analysis was correct, Chen Lin must have been involved in smuggling transactions in their past life, something Chen Lin himself would not dare to undertake, but Chu Xue did. Xiao Qian had to admit that this undervalued mistress was highly daring and ruthless.
Even if she rose to power by relying on a man, she could independently manage business later, demonstrating more ruthlessness than ordinary women. Xiao Qian had met many powerful women in the latter part of her life, and this tactic was not uncommon. Those errant women tended to have an easier time progressing, uncontrolled by moral confines, they dared to do anything and skillfully manipulated their gifts from heaven. It would be difficult for them not to succeed.
Xiao Qian assessed that there was a 60 percent chance that Chu Xue would pursue them.
All they could do now was to rely on luck and see if she would succeed in chasing them down.
Xiao Qian felt that luck was on her side, as she had discovered the situation early and had thus started to run early, assuming there would be no problems once the bus reached the provincial road.
But shed hardly imagined that it would not go as planned!
Not long after getting on the provincial road, the long-distance bus started to emit white smoke from the fuel tank. The driver muttered a curse and asked the ticket collector to unload the passengers.
This damn bus has broken down again. Everyone get off and wait for the next one to pick you up!
Grumbles could be heard from the crowd.
In such a small place, there were only a couple of buses going to town each day. If a bus broke down, they might have to wait several hours for the next one.
This is ridiculous, if we get off now and wait, we wont be guaranteed a seat on the next bus, even if one comes. Give us a refund!
As the crowd was grumbling, Xiao Qian, leading her grandmother off the bus, was incredibly frustrated.
How unfortunate it was that the long-distance bus, which hardly ever broke down, broke down when she was on it.
With a large crowd waiting for the next bus, it could take at least an hour or two.
Xiao Qian clung to the slight hope that a taxi returning from dropping someone off in the countryside might turn up.
She just wanted to leave this place as quickly as possible.
Unfortunately, there was neither a taxi nor even a private car in sight.
After waiting for several minutes, they saw a fully loaded FAW pass. With this scarcity of transport, even if you had money to spend, there was nowhere to spend it.
From a distance, a small white van was slowly driving towards them. Xiao Qian quickly stretched out her hand to stop it, but then pulled it back.
Chu Xue was in the co-drivers seat of the van
Qianer, whats wrong? Her grandmother looked at her granddaughter, whose face was getting increasingly pale, and asked worriedly, Docs your stomach still hurt?
Xiao Qian wasnt having a stomachache; she was distressed.
If she had well
Looking at her grandmother, Xiao Qian couldnt help but calcuate.
At this point, if she had Yu Minglangs skills, she would have knocked her grandmother unconscious and then failed to confront Chu Xue and the people in the van.
The problem was, she didnt have the strength to knock her grandmother unconscious. What if she caused her grandmothers heart disease to act up instead?
As Chu Xues small and rundown van got closer and closer, Xiao Qian had no ideas left.
What was she to do now?
This place was isolated with no place to hide, and she had an elderly woman in tow. Where could they hide?
If the old lady hears her bickering with Chu Xue, would the box of life-saving pills in her pocket work?
Damn it, Yu Minglang was not contactable, and Zheng Xus rescue team hadnt arrived. Would she, a dragon, be trapped in the shallow waters and be repulsed to death by Chu Xue? It was simply the most grotesque death of the year.
If a private car had come along earlier, it would have been fine. But a private car wouldnt do any good now. Chu Xue must have seen her, if a car passed by and she got in, Chu Xue would still give chase.
Unless it was a large jeep like Yu Minglangs, which could clatter around in the hills. If the small van dared to follow, its chassis would be shattered. But wait, what was that she saw?
The car coming from the other side it looked like Yu Minglangs?
Xiao Qian rubbed her eyes. The license plate was indeed Yu Minglangs!
She felt like she had just hit the jackpot!
Xiao Qian kept on waving to him, shouting as loudly as she could.
Yu Minglang also saw her. He stopped the car on the side of the muddy path, ensuring it wouldnt affect road safety. Making sure there were no other vehicles, he crossed the road and approached Xiao Qian.
When Xiao Qian saw Yu Minglang at this moment, her heart was ready to burst. The timing of Yu Minglangs arrival was just perfect!
His appearance at this moment would definitely boost his favorability in Xiao Qians heart a few points.
How did you know to come? Xiao Qian was so excited that she held his hand, her face filled with joy, forgetting that her grandmother was still with them.
Yu Minglang had never experienced such an enthusiastic reception from Xiao Qian, and he enjoyed it very much. The way she looked at him was so passionate. Give Yu Minglang a crowbar now, and he could likely pry open the earth. It was so beautiful.
I was on my way to your house. Your mom said youd gone out to the countryside. I saw the weather forecast predicting rain tonight, and I was worried that the long-distance bus wouldnt run and you wouldnt be able to get back, so I came to pick you up.
Yu Minglang originally didnt have time off, but hed managed to arrange for two days off. Initially, he wanted to invite his girlfriend to go mountain climbing and appreciate the autumn leaves, but his plan fell through.
He had to squeeze out this time. Once he had it free, he didnt want to squander it. He hadnt seen Xiao Qian in a long time and truly missed her, so he simply decided to come over to see if he could pick her up.
The situation turned out to be so favorable that Xiao Qian could hardly contain her joy.
I will take my grandmother to your car. Keep an eye out for me and dont let the people in the vehicles behind go across the road.
Without time to explain, Xiao Qian whisked her grandmother into Yu Minglangs car and switched on the stereo system.
As soon as the stereo started playing, Xiao Qian had a slight twitch at the corner of her mouth.
Wasnt this the high-energy song she had sung?
She couldnt play this kind of music for an old lady; it could trigger a heart attack.
Grandma, sit and wait here in the car, dont get out. She switched to a soothing melody, and out of the corner of her eye saw Chu Xues car stop and a crowd get out. Someone wanted to cross the road, but Yu Minglang stopped them.
Although Yu Minglang didnt know exactly what was happening, he knew that he must follow Xiao Qians instructions unconditionally.
Whats going on? Xiao Qians grandmother was dumbfounded.
Its nothing. The man down there is my boyfriend, and the people behind him, they are
Xiao Qian was about to make an excuse when she noticed something amiss outside.. She stopped, watching as one person from Chu Xues group hurled a punch directly at Yu Minglangs face!
