C67 (1/2)

She glanced at the wallet and was about to close it when she was attracted by a photo of the wallet.

Taking a look, on the photo, she was wearing a red pleated skirt and standing at the entrance of the academy with a brilliant smile, before looking at Xiang Qicheng who was standing beside her …

Could it be that he was seeing things?

Chu Yu held his breath, and lowered his head to carefully look at the Xiang Qicheng in the photo.

The stern expression on his face had disappeared, replaced by a rare smile. The lines of his face softened a lot, as if they had been melted by an iceberg.

The sun was shining on their shoulders, and it seemed that they were quite right.

This was the photo that she and Xiang Qicheng had hastily taken at the entrance of the Academy on the day of the Entrance Ceremony. Turns out he looked so good when he smiled.

When his fingers touched the bottom right corner of the photo, there was a small protrusion on it. Chu Yu turned the photo around, and at the bottom left corner, he could see three small characters written in calligraphy: ”Heart”.

She could not help but laugh, when did Xiang Qicheng become such a literary person?

A faint smile crept up her lips. She was touched by the softness of it.

After he returned the photo back to its original state, Chu Yu closed his wallet and walked out of the crowd towards Xiang Qicheng.

”Thank you.” Her thousands of thoughts turned into two simple words. With a smile, she lowered her head to look at the oil-paper umbrella in her hand. Her steps became lighter, and when the umbrella closed, the young girl's face was folded into the umbrella.

Back in the city, the rain had stopped and the sun was shining dimly through the clouds.

Chu Yu was much more energetic after sleeping on the carriage. When he returned back to the villa, his phone immediately rang.

”Chu Yu... ”Save me …” Chu Xuan's urgent voice came out of the phone, followed by an empty echo.

She immediately tensed up. ”Dad? What's the matter with you? ”

”I ran out …” He opened his mouth angrily and his hand subconsciously clenched into a fist.

When she mentioned that woman, Chu Xuan became flustered and exasperated. She had the remaining rights to the Chu Family in her hands, she thought that she would be able to bring the Chu Family back to life, but who would have thought that she would have invested everything!

He wanted her to give him the remaining shares, but she firmly rejected. She even took the opportunity to lock him up in his room.

”What?” ”Father, where are you right now?” Chu Yu was a little confused, but she still quickly walked into the room to pack. She was afraid that Chu Xuan would run into danger alone outside, and the only person he could rely on was himself.

Chu Xuan looked around, the red brick walls were mottled, not far from them, mountains of trash were piled up on the ground, releasing a terrible stench, outside the house, there was a clearing filled with weeds.

”In an abandoned factory …”

He ran out of the room while An Ya was sleeping, breaking the window while An Ya was sleeping. Luckily he had his room on the second floor, otherwise, it was unknown how long he would have to stay locked inside.

Now that he thought about it, it was truly laughable. How sad it was that he was being held at home by his wife and had to smash the window to get out.

Chu Xuan sighed, a look of self-mockery flashing past his eyes.
