Qin Sisi couldn't help but shudder, as if she remembered something terrible.

She explained carefully, "Jasmine had some trouble at school, so I came to see her..."

Zhou Muchuan ordered in a stern tone, "Come back immediately, and don't leave the house without my permission!"

Qin Sisi held back her tears and said, "Okay."

After hanging up the phone, she sat in the passenger seat and looked out, not understanding how things had come to this.

Brother Muchuan had been so kind and gentle to her before, why did he suddenly become so violent? Was it because she was kidnapped and suffered that kind of thing? But if you really love someone, how can you care about these things? When Senior Wu saw her at that time, he only felt distressed, but her beloved brother Muchuan only thought she was shameful and dirty, and locked her in the basement, beating and scolding her every day.

The source of all this was obviously his mother and his sister. If Zhao Jiali hadn't instructed Zhou Ruotang to kidnap her, how could she have encountered such a thing?

She didn't know how she had gotten through the past few days. Every day she was in the pitch-black basement, and the servants brought her one meal a day. She could only count the meals to know that another day had passed. If this continued, she would go crazy!

If Jasmine hadn't run to her last night and helped her unlock the basement, she might have died in there.

Thinking of this, a hint of fear flashed in Qin Sisi's eyes. No, she didn't want to die. She was only thirty years old and had a long, beautiful life ahead of her. She had bet on the wrong horse, and it was not too late to repent now.

She had finally managed to escape this time, she couldn't just go back like this!

Qin Sisi felt a huge impulse in her heart. She was delighted by this impulse, but she didn't dare to show it in front of the driver and Jasmine. With trembling fingers, she flipped over her phone and sent a WeChat message to Wu Zhendong, "Senior Wu, if there is another life, I would like to repay you for your care again."

After sending it, she deleted the message. In case she fell into Zhou Muchuan's hands again, she couldn't let Zhou Muchuan see this.

She bet that Senior Wu would not stand by and watch her die. She was very confident that Senior Wu had deep feelings for her. The reason he kept his distance from her before was that he did not want to make things difficult for her. But once he knew that she was living in dire straits, he would definitely help her.

As long as Senior Wu takes her over, she will be able to completely break free from Zhou Muchuan's control, because in terms of family power, the Zhou family cannot compare to the Wu family.

The driver had already started the car, and Qin Sisi was becoming more and more panicked. No, she couldn't just be taken back like this. If she did that, even if Senior Wu wanted to save her, he wouldn't be able to do it. She had to find a way to get out of the car.

"There's a pharmacy over there. Please stop for a moment. I'll go buy something." Qin Sisi tried to act superior and instructed the driver.

She knew that the driver at home was never in the same group with her, so she had to act very natural so as not to be discovered.

Sure enough, the driver did not stop the car immediately after hearing her words, but said, "What do you want to buy? The family doctor has everything. If you feel unwell, ask the family doctor to see you. There is no need to go to this street shop in person. If someone takes a picture of you, they will say that the Zhou family has lowered their status."

"Are you the master or am I the master?" Qin Sisi glared at him and said unhappily, "Do I have to tell you if I want to buy emergency contraceptive pills? What, do I have to tell you if I didn't wear a condom when I had sex with Brother Muchuan last night?"

What happened to her being abducted in the past two days has become known to everyone. Although the video has been urgently removed from the shelves by the Zhou and Xia families, everyone who should know knows it. The servants are even more aware of the fact that Qin Sisi is not welcome in the Zhou family.

When the driver heard her say this, he started to wonder, is she really going to buy contraceptive pills? Mr. Zhou seemed to really like this woman.

Moreover, in terms of status, she was the wife and he was just a driver. Mr. Zhou only asked him to keep an eye on his wife but did not ask him to control his wife's every move.

Thinking of this, the driver didn't want to have an estrangement with Qin Sisi, so he stopped the car on the side of the road and said, "I'll go with you."

Of course Qin Sisi was unwilling, but there was no better way now, so she could only nod.

After getting off the car, she ignored the driver and walked straight towards the pharmacy. The driver followed her closely. Qin Sisi secretly glanced at her mobile phone and found that Senior Wu had not replied to her message yet.

She was extremely anxious and could only delay time as much as possible. She insisted on asking the pharmacy clerk for a brand of contraceptive pills that the store did not sell. The clerk advised her to buy them somewhere else, but she threw a tantrum and demanded that the clerk find a way to get it for her.

The clerk had no choice but to contact a nearby pharmacy to help her get the goods.

The driver stood in the store for a while, then felt bored, so he walked to the door and lit a cigarette.

But when he finished smoking and went back in, Qin Sisi was gone!

He was shocked, and suddenly stepped forward to ask the clerk, "Where is that woman just now?"

"Are you talking about the woman who came with you just now?" the clerk said unhappily, "She just left."

"Isn't she waiting for another brand of birth control pills?" the driver asked.

The clerk snorted, "Who knows what's wrong with her? Just now she insisted on that brand, but suddenly she said the brand in the store was also okay, and then she paid and left. If she had said that brand was also okay, would I have had to go all the way to get it for her?"

The driver didn't want to listen to the clerk's complaints. He held on to a last glimmer of hope that maybe Qin Sisi had returned to the car, so he hurried back to the car. As a result, only Jasmine was in the car.

He was a little panicked and looked around quickly, but Qin Sisi was nowhere to be seen.

The driver could only call Zhou Muchuan anxiously, "Mr. Zhou, I'm sorry, I lost my wife. She...ran away."

"Did you sneak out?"

Wu Zhendong looked at Qin Sisi in disbelief. Seeing her haggard face and scars of all sizes on her body, he felt distressed and shocked. "Zhou Muchuan, that bastard, actually dared to treat you like this! I won't forgive him!"

Qin Sisi was about to cry and shook her head, "Senior Wu, please don't say anything. I'm already very grateful that I was able to escape from that hell. Fortunately, you came and took me away in time, otherwise, I really couldn't survive..."

She was shaking with tears, and her thin shoulders made people feel distressed. Wu Zhendong didn't care about offending her, and hugged her in his arms, comforting her, "Okay, it's okay, don't worry, I'm here, and I will never let him hurt you again."

Qin Sisi raised her head and looked at him pitifully. "Senior Wu, I have an unreasonable request. You know, I have no one to rely on in this city. Can I hide at your place for a while? I know this request is presumptuous, but I really have no choice. If I stay in a hotel, Zhou Muchuan will definitely find me."

Wu Zhendong felt distressed and agreed without hesitation, "Silly girl, you are still so polite to me. Don't worry, until you figure out what to do next, just stay at my place. I don't believe that Zhou can find out about me."

Qin Sisi breathed a sigh of relief and looked at him gratefully, "Senior Wu, you are so kind to me."

Wu Zhendong almost drowned in her gentle and affectionate gaze. His heart was filled with her. He shook his head and looked at her deeply. "For you, I am willing."

Qin Sisi seemed to be frightened. She lowered her head in a hurry and did not dare to look into his eyes.

Men will not cherish what they get easily, and she cannot repeat the mistake of Zhou Muchuan.

Wu Zhendong thought about it again and again, and finally decided to settle Qin Sisi in the old house. Usually, only his grandfather lived in the old house, and there were not many guests. It was quiet and safe.

As for his father, such a big thing could not be concealed, but he did not intend to hide it. In the past, Sisi's heart was on Zhou Muchuan, so he chose to watch her happiness from afar. But now that he knew she was not happy, he vowed to be brave once and try to make his family accept Sisi.

Wu Zhendong secretly made up his mind that this time, no one could stop him from pursuing his true love.

On the other side, Xu Yansang and Fu Zhenzhuo took Chen Qiao back home. After arriving home, Chen Qiao saw six dishes, one soup, and an exquisite cake on the table, and asked in surprise, "Aunt Xu, Uncle Fu, is today a special day?"

Xu Yansang smiled and said, "Didn't you say that the midterm exam is today? This is your first exam since you came here, and your uncle Fu and I want to celebrate for you."

Chen Qiao was stunned for a moment in disbelief, then lowered his head in sadness and said ashamedly, "But my test paper was destroyed, and I got zero points in this midterm exam."

Xu Yansang rubbed her head and comforted her, "It's okay, the results are just a reference, as long as you try your best. We celebrate for you, but we don't necessarily require you to get good grades. We just hope that you can adapt and like it here."

Chen Qiao's eyes were red, but he tried to hold it back like a little adult, "Aunt Xu, thank you."

She was glad that she took that step. At first she just wanted to fight for an opportunity and never thought that she would receive so much love.

She couldn't help but reach out and hug Xu Yansang, whispering, "Thank you, Aunt Xu."

I will work hard, and when I become successful one day, I will definitely repay you. I want everyone to know that your choice is not wrong.

Xu Yansang thought she was still sad about the school incident, so she patted her on the back and comforted her, "Okay, it's all over. If those kids target you again in the future, tell the teacher. If the teacher can't solve it, tell me and I will help you."

Chen Qiao nodded, but didn't dare to mention what Uncle Fu said to her at school.

The original words were, "If this happens again, don't be polite. Beat them up first. You were too polite today. They didn't even get hurt. Don't worry. I'll take care of everything. Don't have to compromise."

She estimated that if Aunt Xu knew that Uncle Fu said such things to her, she would probably quarrel with Uncle Fu.

She didn't dare say it.

Chen Qiao spent the happiest night he could remember.

I didn't get scolded for hitting someone at school, but was comforted in various ways. When I got home, there were delicious meals and tasty cakes, and even a midterm exam was celebrated.

She slept as sweetly that night as the cake she had just eaten.

The next morning, after Xu Yansang sent Chen Qiao to school, she went to the hospital with Fu Zhenchuo.

The operation was scheduled to start at nine o'clock. Doctor Zhang had already made preparations for the operation and was checking the instruments and tools over and over again like someone with obsessive-compulsive disorder.

Because of the surgery, Xu Daqiao had been without water and food since yesterday. Xu Yansang walked into the ward and did not see Xia Yanfang.

Xu Yansang was a little unhappy. She called Xia Yanfang as soon as she left the hospital last night and asked her to come and take care of her father today. After the operation, her father would have to stay in bed for more than half a month and needed someone to take care of him personally.

She thought Xia Yanfang would come over even if she was just pretending, but she didn't expect that she didn't come.

To put it bluntly, Xia Yanfang was just my father's personal nanny, and she gave him 15,000 yuan a month so that she could take good care of my father, not for charity. These were made clear when the two of them first started the deal.

She could see that Xia Yanfang had become arrogant in the past few months. Not only was she no longer fully committed to taking care of her father, but the amounts she asked for were getting bigger and bigger. Xu Yansang had wanted to talk to Xia Yanfang before, and now seeing this situation, she was even more determined that she could not continue to indulge her like this.

If Xia Yanfang is willing to live a good life with her father and take care of him wholeheartedly, then she will still pay money and work as before without hesitation. But if Xia Yanfang thinks that she can get more than 10,000 yuan a month for free by controlling her father, and she also wants to act like she is the most important person in the family, then Xu Yansang will not keep her anymore.

This time, she won't listen to her father.

Having made up her mind, Xu Yansang walked in calmly and asked Xu Daqiao, "Dad, how do you feel? Don't be nervous. Doctor Zhang is an experienced doctor. The safety is definitely beyond doubt. We can accept the result of the operation no matter it is good or bad. Anyway, it won't be worse than it is now."

Xu Daqiao smiled and waved his hands, "I'm fine, don't worry, Dad is in a good mood."

Seeing that he was not nervous, Xu Yansang felt relieved and sat next to him, chatting with Xu Daqiao.

Fu Zhenzhuo was accompanying her, as quiet as a transparent person. Xu Daqiao looked at him and coughed, "Yansang, go buy some fruit. I want to eat boiled apples after the operation."

When Xu Yansang heard this, she quickly stood up and said, "Okay, I'll go buy it now."

She said hello to Fu Zhenzhuo and hurried out. Fu Zhenzhuo watched the door of the ward close before looking at Xu Daqiao and said in a steady voice, "Dad, is there anything you want to tell me?"

He could tell at a glance that Xu Daqiao had deliberately sent Xu Yansang away.

The only daughter he loved was not here, and Xu Daqiao could no longer pretend to smile. He sat up, pointed to the small bag beside him, and said, "Take this. If I can't get out of the operating room, you can give these to Yansang."

Fu Zhen paused but did not move. He just frowned and said, "Don't worry. The success rate of this operation is as high as 80%. It will not threaten your life. It's just a nap. When you wake up, you can get out of bed and walk."

Xu Daqiao smiled bitterly and waved his hands, "I know everything you said. I'm so old now, I should have been indifferent to life and death, but I'm worried about Yan Sang. The reason I gave these to you is just to prepare for the worst. There are some savings certificates and bank cards in them, and the passwords are all in them. Ah Zhuo, Dad believes in you, you won't harm Yan Sang, I don't want Yan Sang to worry about me, don't tell her about this before the results of my surgery, can you promise Dad?"

Fu Zhenzhuo looked at him, their eyes met, it was a promise between two men, Fu Zhenzhuo finally nodded and agreed, "Dad, don't worry, as long as I live, I will protect Yansang with my life, I will not take a single cent of her property, half of my property belongs to her."
