Spring Branches

For the entire afternoon, Lu Yichuang did not answer Tang Asi's call, nor did he reply to a single text message.

Tang Asi felt uneasy.

My anxious heart seemed to be about to jump out of my throat.

She even sent the chat history with Shen Ran, but Lu Yichuan still didn't reply.

Tang Asi called Ana, only to remember that this guy was still out of town and had not returned.

Ana said: [Sister Tang, I will teach you based on my past experience. Now you need to run to Brother Lu’s office and act like a spoiled child. This will avoid any estrangement between you two, and Brother Lu won’t be really angry with you. Just coax him a few words and he’ll be fine!]

Tang Asi said: [Okay, I’ll go now.]

When she was about to hang up the phone, Tang Asi suddenly remembered her older brother with a weird temper and reminded him: "My older brother seems to be a little off in the head these past two days. If you can hide outside, stay away. Don't come back. If you don't have enough money, tell me and I'll transfer it to you."

After hanging up the phone, Tang Asi simply changed his clothes and went out.

She has her own car, which is parked in the underground garage on the -1 floor.

The car drove out of the luxurious community and drove on the flat and wide road.

Tang Asi's vision was completely unfocused. He was looking at his phone for a while, then at the road ahead. He almost ran a red light and hit someone several times.

Her mind was completely on Lu Yichuan.

When the car stopped at the traffic light, the red light began to slowly count down from 45 seconds.

Tang Asi picked up his phone again and sent a message to Lu Yichuang.

Tang Asi: Lu Yichuang, if you don’t reply to my message again, I will never talk to you again.

Lu Yichuang replied immediately: I’m in a meeting.

Tang Asi: You didn’t lie to me, did you?

The other side didn't reply again.

Was he really in a meeting or was he just saying that on purpose so he wouldn't have to pay attention to her?

Tang Asi sent another message: Why don’t you reply to me again?

The green light is on.

The car behind me kept honking its horn.

Tang Asi's thoughts were pulled back and he started the car.

After driving for a while, the phone vibrated.

The phone screen lit up for 2 seconds and I saw the message from Lu Yichuang.

Lu Yichuang: I’m in a meeting.

Why does Tang Asi feel that the person opposite him is like a machine?

Could this be an automatic reply?

Thinking of this, Tang Asi became even angrier.

Tang Asi held the steering wheel with one hand and quickly typed on the keyboard with the other hand:

[What do you mean, Lu Yichuan? You are using an automatic reply to deceive me? Do you have any fun doing this? I have already explained to you that the person who sent the message is just my childhood friend. Why don’t you even have this little trust in me? I am really sad. I am very anxious now. Can you please call me back after seeing the message? Don’t use the automatic reply to deceive me! ]

After this message was sent.

Then there was a loud noise.

bang——

Tang Asi's car rear-ended a tricycle in front.

The person on the tricycle was knocked away.

Tang Asi was so scared that he was shaking all over.

More and more people are watching.

At this time, Tang Asi's cell phone rang.

The caller ID showed Lu Yichuan, and Tang Asi picked up the phone tremblingly.

[Lu Yichuan... I killed someone... What should I do if I killed someone...]

[Where are you now? Turn on the location, I'll be there now.] Lu Yichuan said calmly, and the sound of someone putting on clothes and picking up keys came from the phone.

[Beep, beep—]

Before Tang Asi could send a message, someone snatched her phone away and pulled her out of the car.

Tang Asi sat on the ground, looking around in panic.

The surrounding environment suddenly became extremely unfamiliar.

Who is she? Where is she now?

His head was buzzing with thoughts, and Tang Asi's consciousness began to become a little fuzzy.

When I braked suddenly just now, my forehead hit the steering wheel.

I was too nervous at the time so I didn't notice it, but now I feel a dull pain.

"Do you know how to drive?" said the woman who had just pulled Tang Asi out of the car. "You knocked my husband to the ground, and now he's lying there unconscious. You didn't call an ambulance, and you ran here and talked to someone on the phone so leisurely. Do you have any conscience? You bad woman!"

Tang Asi had a severe headache, so he hugged his head with both hands and hid it.

The people around were talking and cursing at Tang Asi.

Swear whatever words are offensive.

Especially that woman.

In this emergency situation, she doesn't go to take care of her husband, but hides here to "reason" with Tang Asi. What is the purpose of this?

Tang Asi inserted his fingers into his hair and pressed them on his head. He felt a pain in his heart and then bright red blood appeared on his fingers.

After seeing this, the woman sneered, her face baring teeth and claws, extremely embarrassed: "Stop pretending! You were fine just now, how come your hands are suddenly bloody? I think you deliberately didn't want to pay the money, and you scratched your head!"

"..."

Originally, Tang Asi was particularly sympathetic to the situation of this couple.

The car accident happened because she was distracted by playing with her mobile phone. It should have been her fault. She is willing to compensate for any consequences.

But when she heard what the woman said just now, she really wanted to argue.

Tang Asi shook her head and slowly stood up, looking like a heroine. She looked at the cursing middle-aged woman and said, "Do you just want money?"

"..." The woman hesitated for 2 seconds and said hesitantly: "I...I didn't say that."

"When the accident happened, the first thing you did was to come to me to talk about yourself, instead of caring about your lover's health." Tang Asi analyzed clearly: "When you saw the blood on my hands, you thought I was going to blackmail you like you did, so you immediately mentioned compensation. This clearly pointed out that you just want money."

The people around nodded after hearing this.

"Yeah, shouldn't this woman care about her husband first?"

"If it were me, I would definitely call 120 immediately."

"While her lover was lying unconscious on the ground, she didn't shed a single tear and didn't look sad at all..."

"This couple wouldn't have been defrauding money in this way for years..."

"At first I wanted to say that I felt this couple looked very familiar, as if I had seen them somewhere before..."

"You look familiar." Suddenly, a very pleasant male voice came from behind: "I see you on the news every day."

"No wonder! Now I remember!"

Everyone's eyes turned to the boy who spoke so nicely.

Tang Asi also looked over.

The man was wearing a grey suit and a pair of gold-rimmed glasses on his nose, and his every move exuded a sense of nobility.
