Lu Beichuan clenched his wine glass and sneered.

"Really? Maybe it's because the company has been too busy recently, winning projects worth more than 1 billion yuan one after another, and it's really a bit overwhelmed. But it should be difficult for President Chu to understand."

A word of dialogue.

"After all, the Chu family hasn't taken on such a project in many years."

Ever since the Chu family suffered a serious injury a few years ago, their momentum has never been as strong as before.

As the current head of the Chu family, Chu Nantian did not seem to have any intention of changing the status quo. He left the Chu family's family business aside, and except for taking care of some of the parts that needed to be handled, he left all the other responsibilities alone and only focused on developing his own new business.

Chu Nantian curled his lips slowly and looked down at Lu Beichuan who was sitting on the sofa in the booth with the superior attitude he inherently had in his standing posture.

"Yes. Our family has been focusing more on relationships in recent years. No matter how much money you make or how high your status is, it is not as good as a harmonious and happy family."

The moment Chu Nantian finished speaking.

Lu Beichuan's face froze visibly.

"Oh, by the way." Chu Nantian pretended to look around and asked Lu Beichuan sincerely, "Where's Mrs. Lu? I had agreed to cooperate with Mrs. Lu before, but I haven't been able to contact her for a while."

Chu Nantian's words at this moment were like stabbing a needle into Lu Beichuan's heart.

During this period, the last thing he wanted to hear was anything about An Xia from anyone else.

Especially An Xia signed a cooperation agreement with his rival.

Chu Nantian stared at Lu Beichuan meaningfully, and before he could continue, he smiled and said, "President Lu, please inform Mrs. Lu in time that the deadline for submission of our cooperation is approaching. If I don't receive her manuscript, then the penalty will be directly transferred to my account by President Lu."

After irritating Lu Beichuan, Chu Nantian walked away like a cunning fox, shaking his tail in triumph.

The half-blocked light shone down again, and Lu Beichuan was dazzled without warning. He subconsciously raised his hand to block it, but then became angry and slammed his clenched fist on the table.

The wine glass that had been shaking in his hand for a long time was picked up and he drank it all in one gulp.

His eyes fell on the few bottles of opened wine on the table, and Lu Beichuan grabbed them.

……

At four o'clock in the morning, An Xia sat on the bed, hugging her knees, staring out the window with a cold gaze.

I was so nervous and excited that I couldn't sleep. I tossed and turned in bed for a long time but couldn't fall asleep. I simply sat up and watched the time passing by on the wall clock.

In twelve hours, she would begin her escape plan.

However, she had no idea about the plan that was about to unfold.

The only thing she had prepared now was a thermometer under her pillow.

As for the rest, they could only leave it to fate and let Shen Huaian make all the arrangements.

Watching the glow of the sunrise gradually gild the city, the brilliant vitality unique to the sunrise fills my heart.

An Xia looked at the gradually golden color outside the window, and a long-lost smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.

After today, she no longer needs to fight with Lu Beichuan.

Finally, I'm free.

When Xiao Tao brought in breakfast, An Xia had already washed up. Afraid of being discovered by Xiao Tao, An Xia hid the thermometer on her body.

I tried hard to control my excitement and remain as calm and composed as usual.

Xiao Tao was a little reluctant, but still reminded her in a businesslike manner: "Madam, we should go upstairs after dinner. Mr. Lu has told you in advance that you have to stay in the neonatal department all day today."

An Xia was silent for a while before nodding.

Xiao Tao thought she was unwilling. After all, no woman who had just had an abortion would be willing to go to the neonatal department for stimulation.

But An Xia was just trying to control her almost uncontrollable smile.

If Lu Beichuan knew that even this step was part of her plan to escape from here, and that he had stepped on the bait so accurately, how funny and satisfying the scene would be.

After clearing away An Xia's dishes, Xiao Tao took a photo and reported to Lu Beichuan in real time.

In fact, normally all you have to do is take pictures of An Xia's condition throughout the day, find a time to collect them together, and then send them all over directly. But today is the day An Xia is discharged from the hospital, and Xiao Tao is afraid of any mishaps, so he'd rather take the trouble and report in real time at any time.

At least now I can feel more at ease.

But after sending the photo for a long time, Lu Beichuan still didn't respond.

Before, Lu Beichuan would reply with a period to indicate that he had read it.

However, Lu Beichuan had a special status and was very busy, so Xiao Tao didn't think much about it. After packing up his things, he went out and took An Xia upstairs.

The neonatal ward was crowded and noisy, so it was inconvenient for the bodyguard to follow along, so he waited at the entrance to the corridor and the elevator.

Xiao Tao found a relatively secluded corner for An Xia to sit.

"Ma'am, if you don't want to watch, just sit here. I won't tell Mr. Lu."

After all, women are more thoughtful and softer-hearted than men.

Although he almost faced punishment from Lu Beichuan because of An Xia, Xiao Tao still felt sorry for An Xia from the bottom of his heart.

She, who had the freedom to come and go, felt bored staying in the hospital every day, not to mention An Xia, who couldn't even leave the ward. How suffocated she must have been.

An Xia held Xiao Tao's hand.

"Thank you for taking this time."

Her eyes were sincere, and she was sincerely thanking Xiao Tao.

Xiao Tao's face turned red, and he felt a little embarrassed: "Madam, this is what I should do."

There was a deep meaning in An Xia's eyes, and her guilt towards Xiao Tao deepened.

Last time, the innocent Xiao Tao was almost hurt.

I don’t know if Lu Beichuan will be able to distinguish right from wrong this time like he did last time.

If not...

Xiao Tao has to be implicated again.

But no matter how sorry An Xia felt, she couldn't do anything about it.

She doesn't even have the ability to protect herself now, let alone have the time to take care of other people's situations.

Actually, she is a selfish person.

"Xiao Tao, do you remember my best friend?"

Xiao Tao nodded. Jiang Qingyu had a distinctive personality and was bright and generous. Anyone who had met her would never forget her.

"What's the matter? Do you want to see her?"

An Xia shook her head: "No, I just want to tell you that she is a very good and kind person. If you run into any trouble in the future, you can go to her for help."

Xiao Tao was stunned: "What kind of trouble could I get into?"

Obviously, she didn't understand what An Xia meant.

An Xia didn't want her to understand now, so she said vaguely: "I just suddenly remembered that she has helped me a lot over the years, and I want to tell you something about it. Don't think too much about it."

An Xia thought that if Xiao Tao was really implicated by what happened today, at least she could ask Jiang Qingyu for help to cover the bottom line, so as not to implicate others too badly.

This is one of the few things she can do now.
