Xia Jinyu had gone to the hospital to have her foot checked. The doctor said it wasn't serious, but she needed to rest for a few days. She could only call the station to ask for leave. Then, he contacted Zhuang Yan.
Zhuang Yan was Xia Jinyu's boyfriend. They met during a school anniversary event in their second year of university. Zhuang Yan studied logistics and was now working in a foreign trade company. That was because the place where he worked was near the port of Jiang City and was very far from Xia Jinyu. Therefore, the two of them did not have many opportunities to meet. Usually, Xia Jinyu would only be free to go to his place on the weekends, or he would come to Xia Jinyu's place.
Xia Jinyu was injured today and did not manage to get an exclusive, so he was feeling depressed. He wanted to find Zhuang Yan to complain. Who knew that Zhuang Yan was working overtime. He hung up after saying that he was about to have a meeting.
After hanging up the phone, Xia Jinyu was still a little disappointed. However, when she thought about how busy he was with work, she felt relieved. She wasn't an insensible little girl, so she had some understanding of boyfriends. Moreover, Zhuang Yan had treated her really well in the past. He was very caring and considerate. Now that he was so busy, she should understand.
She hailed a taxi. Xia Jinyu didn't plan to squeeze into the subway with others to go home in such a hot and injured situation. When she got into the car, she looked at her feet and could not help but curse that man in her heart. He was really a jerk.
………………
In the blink of an eye, it was the end of May. Jiang City was getting hotter and hotter.
When Xia Jinyu got off the bus, she was still a little dizzy.
This was a wealthy area, and the villas were built beautifully. However, the traffic was very inconvenient. Even the nearest bus would take more than 20 minutes to reach the place. After all, who could afford a villa without a private car? They needed a bus to drive directly to the entrance of the villa area.
However, Xia Jinyu would not treat herself as a rich man. Xia Jinyu's mother, Xia Meizhi, had been living with Xia Jinyu and her daughter ever since she divorced Xia Jinyu's father. Later on, he met the businessman Xu Yuanbai by accident. Xu Yuanbai's wife had passed away many years ago. For some reason, he fell in love with Xia Meizhi. After a while, the two of them got together. Xia Jinyu also followed Xia Meizhi and moved into the Xu family.
Xia Jinyu thought about meeting her stepfather's family later, and the corners of her mouth subconsciously twitched. She actually didn't hate Xu Yuanbai. He treated her quite well. However, because he was busy with work, he was often not at home. As for the others in the Xu family...
Her train of thought was suddenly interrupted. She felt the sound of footsteps behind her, not too far away from her, and her hair stood on end.
This was a villa area, and the security was not bad. However, there might be an accident. She tried to quicken her pace and heard the footsteps behind her quicken as well. She tried to slow down, and the voice behind her also slowed down.
Xia Jinyu's expression immediately tensed up. She swallowed her saliva and tried her best to suppress the nervousness in her heart. He looked behind him from the corner of his eye. It was not even five o'clock in the afternoon. It was still quite early to get off work. This was a villa area, and there were usually very few people passing by.
He looked ahead. When this villa was under construction, it was also divided into sections. At the front was a townhouse with two houses. Behind them was the detached villa.
The Xu family's villa was in the middle of the detached villas behind. If she wanted to go over, she would have to pass through this row of villas first.
Xia Jinyu subconsciously quickened her pace. The person behind him also quickened his pace. Her heartbeat quickened. Xia Jinyu looked left and right. There was no one, no car. She had no way to ask for help.
It was really enough. What was wrong with these rich people? Liking to live in such a remote place?
She gritted her teeth and turned a corner in front of her, hiding behind one of the villas. The footsteps behind her seemed to have not expected her to suddenly turn and stopped for a moment.
She became more and more nervous as she looked around. When she saw a brick at her feet, she picked it up without thinking. She grabbed it tightly and raised it high.
He could vaguely hear footsteps coming towards him. Xia Jinyu glanced at the tree branches poking out from the villa's garden and hid her body inside. It was the end of May. The temperature in Jiang City was not low, but it was not to the point where it was unbearable. However, her palms were sweating as she held the brick. He was half shocked and half nervous.
She felt that the commotion behind her seemed to have stopped. She tried her best to listen carefully, and there seemed to be someone whining. Then, there were voices. They were too far away to hear clearly. Could it be that he had accomplices?
Xia Jinyu became more and more nervous. Her heart was beating very fast, and she felt her voice stop again. However, she did not dare to go out immediately. She was afraid that the other party would attack her from the front and back. She was so nervous that she forgot that she could call for help or call the police.
Her full attention was on the corner, and then he heard it again. The sound of footsteps approached, and then a pair of feet in casual leather shoes walked past her. Xia Jinyu gritted her teeth and smashed the brick in her hand at the person's head without thinking. Daguan time:082820187:29PM
