364 Son, Ism Your Father 18 (1/2)
An Xiaoning could not be bothered to continue arguing with her blindly and instead tried to give Jin Qingyan a call immediately, only to find that there was no reception.
She looked down at Mo Li and said, ”Check your phone and see if there's reception.”
Mo Li handed her mobile phone to An Xiaoning, who then took a look and realized that there was no reception as well.
”There's no way there'll be reception here. Didn't you realize that there aren't any surveillance cameras in here either?” said Chi Rui'er.
”Why is it impossible for there to be reception? Don't tell me you tampered with it? Chi Rui'er, just what are you trying to do?” An Xiaoning questioned, glaring at her.
”Could you not malign me? Do you really think I'm capable enough to block the reception in the elevator?”
An Xiaoning obviously knew Chi Rui'er was not the one behind it since they were on the Xu family territory and there was no way they would allow Chi Rui'er to call the shots.
Chi Rui'er was neither the master nor the servant of the Xu family and was at most just a guest.
”It's true that you don't have such capabilities. But, you were aware that the elevator was faulty and you also knew that nothing serious would come out of it because you wouldn't have entered if you knew that a fatal incident would occur,” said An Xiaoning.
Chi Rui'er squinted and retorted, ”An Xiaoning, will you stop jumping to conclusions without any evidence? Mrs. Ye is right beside you, don't taint my reputation, alright?”
”Your reputation is already beyond marred, yet you're still afraid of being smeared?” An Xiaoning sneered while pressing all the buttons on the panel again. She then held Mo Li and leaned back against the elevator walls.
Just like An Xiaoning predicted, although the elevator went out of order and plunged from the fifth storey to the second basement and ascended back up to the fifth storey again, there were no other issues present.
After going up and down repeatedly, the faulty elevator finally stopped at the fourth storey.
What a miraculous elevator.
Chi Rui'er remained still while An Xiaoning quickly grabbed Mo Li to stop her from exiting.
”Why aren't you going out, Chi Rui'er?”
”It's none of your business.”
An Xiaoning decided to stay put as well.
The doors of the elevator closed again, and Chi Rui'er pressed the button for the first storey.Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click for visiting.
The elevator began to descend slowly.
When the doors opened at the first storey, Chi Rui'er continued to remain still and so did An Xiaoning and Mo Li.
Seconds later, Chi Rui'er took the lead and began walking out of the elevator. An Xiaoning then held Mo Li by her hand and followed suit.
The doors closed shut once again.
After watching Chi Rui'er leave, Mo Li asked softly, ”Why did you wait for her to take the first step before moving out?”
”No reason, I just thought it'd be better to be careful. Perhaps I'm being paranoid, but I was afraid that the doors would close on us if we exited before her. Well, it's not like it hasn't happened before,” An Xiaoning explained.
”This is the Xu family home, I doubt that'll happen,” Mo Li said apprehensively.
”So what if it's the Xu family's home? Does that mean elevator faults won't happen? Didn't you notice how calm she was when the elevator began acting up after she entered with us?”
”I did.”
