Chapter 104 The Grand Engagement Banquet(1/2)
That face...
The face of the man in front of me was almost unreadable. It looked like it had been burned by something. It was all wrinkled together. It was as scary as possible.
The old man seemed to have noticed Bai Xiluo's fear. When he opened his mouth to speak again, he covered his face with his sleeves.
"I'm sorry, young lady, I scared you."
Seeing the other person like this, she felt a little embarrassed and quickly apologized: "I'm sorry, I didn't mean it like that. You suddenly appeared in front of me. That's why I acted like this. I want to ask, why did I appear here?"
The old man sighed: "I picked you up on the beach. The water probably washed you here when the tide came in. As for how you got into the sea, I don't know."
Bai Xiluo frowned fiercely.
She had no way to tell whether what the old man said was true or false. She continued to ask: "Since you said so, I believe it. I want to ask if we have communication equipment here? I want to make a call. You
Don’t worry, after I leave, I will definitely thank you for your life-saving grace.”
The old man shook his head.
"There is no communication equipment here. We have lived here for generations. You saw the servant before. I picked it up too. She has lived here for a long time. At first she wanted to leave, but later she
She has no such plan, now she..."
Bai Xiluo didn't want to hear the other party talk about these irrelevant things: "Then how did you leave? There must be a cruise ship, right? Or a ship?"
The old man's words made her whole body feel extremely cold.
"There are no ships here. We have lived here for generations. My father is dead, so now it is just me, the servant I picked up, and you."
Bai Xiluo left in complete collapse. She stood there, just hoping that Huo Tingchen could find her quickly.
Here, everything is full of weirdness.
She didn't believe what the old man said.
midnight.
The moon is clear and the wind is high.
Bai Xiluo woke up from the cold. There was bright light outside. She looked inside almost instinctively. After just one glance, she saw the cruise ship parked on the coast. All the nervous cells in her body became active.
She didn't even think about it.
Perhaps, this is her only way to leave.
Care was taken throughout the entire process.
But what she didn't expect was that she would be discovered as soon as she got on the cruise ship.
"Quick! Someone, stop her and don't let anyone leave."
"stop!"
"Don't leave!"
It is impossible for Bai Xiluo to pay attention to what the other party said about them.
You only have one chance, if you don't seize it, you may not be able to leave it in this life.
Her fingers hurriedly operated the steering wheel, and the cruise ship quickly moved. Bai Xiluo rode the wind and waves forward, but not long after leaving, a low fuel reminder appeared on the cruise ship.
Even though this was the case, she still tried her best to rush out!
Must leave!
Many people came after me on a cruise ship: "Come on, people are here, and you must not let them leave. If you let them leave, you will never be able to survive in this industry for the rest of your life."
"Hurry up and catch up with her."
Bai Xiluo stepped on the accelerator to make the cruise ship move forward faster.
But what she didn't expect was that there was also a large cruise ship not far ahead. Bai Xiluo thought it belonged to the other party and was about to change direction.
When changing direction, she saw that the man standing on the plywood looked familiar.
She took a closer look and found that the sulfur was gone.
She could still meet familiar people here. It was as if she had grasped the last straw in her life. She stopped changing direction and drove directly to the ship where Xie Niujin was.
Bai Xiluo was afraid that people on the ship would attack her, so she made a loud noise when approaching.
"Thank you, it's me."
"Mr. Xie, I am Bai
Xiluo."
"Thank you, Boss! Thank you, Boss! Thank you, Boss!"
The supporting actor stood on the cruise ship, staring at the shouting voice over there. At first, he thought it was an illusion, but what he didn't expect was that it was really Bai Xiluo.
He immediately ordered someone to stop the ship, stretched out his hand to hold Bai Xiluo, and when he pulled the person up, a questioning voice rang out from his throat.
"Why are you here?"
Bai Xiluo was panting a little when she climbed out of the cruise ship. She took a few long breaths before slowly making a sound.
"It's a long story. Something happened, so I'm here now. Thank you for passing by, otherwise..."
What she didn't say later was self-evident.
If Xie Lujin didn't appear here now, she would definitely be sent back.
Xie Sujin looked at her nervously: "Are you okay?"
Bai Xiluo shook his head: "It's okay."
She suddenly thought of something and looked at Xie Liujin: "Can you let me use your mobile phone?"
"good."
He thought Bai Xiluo was going to call Huo Tingchen, but he didn't expect that she was calling an unfamiliar phone number.
The other end of the phone answered quickly.
Zhou Yi's voice came: "Who are you?"
"Yiyi, I'm Xiluo, are you okay?" Bai Xiluo asked nervously.
Yi Yiyi was on the verge of tears: "I'm fine, Xiluo, where are you now? Are you okay?"
"I'm fine too, don't worry, I'll be back soon."
After talking a lot more, I hung up the phone.
Zhou Yiyi was not taken away by anyone, it was just her that those people wanted to take away. Thinking of this, she felt relieved.
She returned the phone to Xie Lujin: "Thank you."
The sea breeze blew her hair wantonly, and the soft hair fluttered on her face.
Suddenly, she spoke up.
"Mr. Xie, why are you here?"
Xie Lijin said with a smile: "My mother went abroad for treatment before, and her health was a little bad. She got a little airsick after the operation. I didn't want her to suffer this anymore, so I chartered a cruise ship for my mother to come back. I didn't expect to be here."
I met you."
Bai Xiluo said, "Auntie will be fine."
"Thanks."
She went there visually and suddenly noticed many large cruise ships approaching. She was a little panicked. She looked at Xie Sujin and murmured to herself: "Aren't these people coming here the same people who took me away?"
To be honest, if those people really came to arrest her, she didn't want to harm innocent people.
But she also wanted to live.
Therefore, she had to jump before people left, so that there was still a glimmer of hope for survival.
Xie Liujin's face didn't look good: "You go hide it first, I can handle it for a while."
Bai Xiluo refused: "I can't drag you down, and I will be found sooner or later."
Many ships and people came.
She directly found a life jacket and put it on, then lowered the lifeboat. When she was about to jump off, Xie Sujin held her hand.
"Wait a minute? What if it's not Ni?"
Bai Xiluo struggled to open his fingers: "I will leave whenever possible, otherwise if they find me, I will be taken back, and then there will be no hope for me."
Xie Lujin hesitated for a moment, then let go of his hand, looking at Bai Xiluo's retreating back, he stood on the plywood and sighed.
Bai Xiluo put his hands on the wood pulp and slid forward with all his strength.
Five minutes later, she was carried to the pursuing ship.
The person who came was none other than Huo Tingchen.
Bai Xiluo looked at Huo Tingchen, wanting to cry and laugh at the same time: "Why is it you?"
Huo Tingchen held the person in his arms to give her warmth and security: "It's me. I'm sorry. I didn't protect you well and made you scared."
