She was fired after she refused to be the CEO's dog licker.

Lin Xixi's tone contained a hint of temptation.

I prevaricated: "My feet are fine. Thank you, Mr. Zhou and Manager Lin, for your concern."

Lin Xixi was slightly startled, but had no intention of leaving immediately. Instead, she said, "It will take a hundred days to break your muscles and bones. I will send Sister Nanxu upstairs."

I thought my words were distant enough, but Lin Xixi insisted on following me. I guessed she had other things to do, so I didn't refuse.

However, when she landed in the standard room where I stayed, something strange still flashed in her eyes involuntarily.

I don't see this look often in other places, it means disgust.

That's right, she is staying in a famous thatched cottage in the mountains. During the peak tourist season, the minimum price per night is seven or eight thousand, which is very different from the two or three hundred and one-night hotels I stayed in.

"You made Manager Lin laugh," I said calmly, "I'm back and I won't keep you here."

"It's not Sister Nanxu, I don't mean anything else," Lin Xixi waved her hands and explained nervously: "I just feel a little sorry for you, but don't worry, I will explain to Han Zhi immediately when I get back that I will give it to you tonight. Arrange a decent place to stay.”

Lin Xixi still looked innocent when she said this, and she didn't know whether it was true kindness or hypocrisy.

"There's no need to cause trouble to Mr. Zhou," I tried to sound as natural as possible, "I appreciate Manager Lin's kindness."

After saying that, I turned around and poured the water without looking at her again.

I'm worried too, worried that if we look at each other for another second, the displeasure in my eyes will no longer be hidden.

But after a while, Lin Xixi still didn't leave. I looked at her awkwardly standing aside and said straight to the point: "Manager Lin, is there anything else?"

Lin Xixi pinched the corner of her clothes nervously, glanced at me, and said hesitantly: "Sister Nan Xu, how have you considered this matter?"

I frowned slightly, looked at Lin Xixi doubtfully, and asked, "What is it?"

Lin Xixi avoided my eyes, pursed her lips, and said, "It's about helping to get the meeting place and time for the second son of the Han family."

Hearing this, I felt as if my head was exploding with a bang and went blank. After several seconds, I gradually regained my breath.

After a brief thought, I came to a conclusion - Zhou Hanzhi told Lin Xixi everything about the transaction between me and him.

He actually told Lin Xixi the shady thing about trying to get me to betray my friends to gain benefits!

As long as one more person knows a secret, there will be more danger. Zhou Hanzhi cannot be unaware of this.

"Sister Nan Xu, did I say something wrong?" Lin Xixi stared at me closely, with a trace of fear in her eyes.

Counting the time, it's really not that much difference from the hour Zhou Hanzhi gave me.

"Did Zhou Hanzhi ask you to ask me?"

As I finished speaking, I realized that my voice was shaking a little.

"Sister Nanxu, Hanzhi has no other intentions. In the final analysis, we have put so much effort into finding Xiaoyaoke," Lin Xixi explained gently, "As for your worries, I have also taken them into consideration. Don't worry. , I will communicate with Sister Song Qing about this matter later, even if she knows the truth, she will not embarrass you."

I almost laughed out loud.

Inquiring about the time and place of the party is not something that should be brought to the table. The fewer people know about it, the better. But as for Lin Xixi, do you still want to communicate with the person involved and ask Song Qing to let me go for her sake?

Thinking of this, I curled my fingers, took a gentle breath and said, "No need."

"Sister Nanxu, do you think this arrangement is inappropriate?"

I stared straight at Lin Xixi and blurted out: "Is this what Manager Lin means, or is this what Zhou Hanzhi means?"

"Sister Nanxu," Lin Xixi looked at me timidly and said carefully, "Are you angry?"

I suddenly lost my temper, waved my hand and said, "Zhou Hanzhi has spoiled you to the point of being ignorant of the world."

When Lin Xixi saw me issuing the expulsion order, she continued to explain: "Sister Nanxu, you misunderstood. This is not Hanzhi's intention, it is mine. I want to share some of the pressure for him, it is my intention."

"Then tell Mr. Zhou for me," I reluctantly said, "I can't agree to cooperation."

Hearing this, Lin Xixi lowered her head and asked, "Sister Nan Xu, can't you think about it again?"

At that time, my heart had sunk to the bottom, and I calmly said: "I have made up my mind."

After Lin Xixi left, I collapsed on the bed like a deflated rubber ball.

The strange thing is that my ankle was obviously injured, but the dull pain spread from my heart to my limbs, as if I was inexplicably sucked into the sea that was wandering in the sky. It was suffocating.

I knew that Lin Xixi and I were different, but I didn't know that we were actually in the same heaven and on the ground.

And I still want to be the bystander who witnesses their love.

It's ridiculous.

A failed bystander.

Complete defeat.

Thinking of this, I slowly opened the wristband and saw the hideous scar at a glance.

Perhaps loving too much is the biggest mistake I have ever made.

The noisy cell phone ringing interrupted my thoughts.

The call was from Wu Ling.

"Xuxu, how's it going?"

Listening to this concerned tone, my nose suddenly felt sour, and two lines of tears could not help but flow out.

"I lost," I said in a hoarse voice, unwillingly, "Wu Ling, I lost."

"Xu Xu, don't scare me. What happened? Is Zhou Hanzhi making things difficult for you? Or Lin Xixi, Xu Xu, can you say something?"

It's a good thing she didn't ask. When I asked, my tears fell like broken beads.

"I can't find Xiaoyaoke," I choked, "Wu Ling, I'm so useless."

"So that's what happened," Wu Ling seemed relieved, "Don't worry, I called you just to tell you about this. I have another clue about Qiao Yaoke."

I said in disbelief: "What clue."

It turns out that just last night, Huo Tianlei shared a few landscape pictures he took during his trip to southern Anhui in the Qashqai fan group. Smart fans clicked on the pictures and finally found out two niche scenic spots where Qashqai was filmed. The location is actually in a place called Jingshui Villa.

Fans concluded that the Qashqai will appear here in the near future.

Jingshui Villa, isn't that where Yuan Tianye said his good brother Han Shuo held a party?

"Wu Ling, thank you," I wiped away the tears on my face and said, "Maybe I still have a chance."

After hanging up the phone, I immediately washed my face with cold water, and then dug out Yuan Tianye's name from the address book.

After the call was dialed, it was connected after a moment.

"What does my sister want from me?"

I adjusted my breathing and asked a little excitedly: "Can I still attend the party tomorrow night?"
