In the evening, they suddenly talked about cutting beer bottles, and Lu Anzhi remembered that she hadn't seen Tian Yufei for several days.
The store was busy during this period, closing very late every day, and having to trek back to the Xishan Villa at night, so the time was fully occupied.
Lu Anzhi always felt that something was wrong. Although Tian Yufei didn't have much free time, she would always share her daily life with her baby in her circle of friends.
But five days have passed since the last post she posted on Moments.
This situation is really not normal.
Huo Zhiyan was in a good mood today, so he asked one more question: "Don't you go back to the car repair shop every day? Why do you ask for leave?"
Lu Anzhi confessed and was lenient: "I don't want to go back to Xishan tomorrow night. I want to go to the old house to find Feifei."
"Looking for all night?"
"If we chat very late, we won't come back. It's not like we can't live in the old house."
Huo Zhiyan lowered his eyes towards her, and after a few seconds of silence, he said, "Okay, if you need anything, call Li Jiu."
After receiving the affirmative answer, Lu Anzhi's mood improved and she skipped upstairs to remove her makeup and take a shower.
…
The next day, Lu Anzhi got up early, grabbed a few slices of bread and went to the garage.
Next to all the luxury cars, her three-door, two-seater new energy car looked like a toy.
Huo Zhiyan was not a stingy person. He had said a long time ago that Lu Anzhi could use everything in the house except the areas above the third floor that were prohibited from entering.
Including those incredibly expensive luxury cars.
Even with permission, Lu Anzhi never drove it once, although she also wanted, greedy, and longed to step on Cullinan's accelerator.
On the winding mountain road, the scenery is beautiful, with green trees, clouds in the sky, and unknown birds calling from time to time.
Lu Anzhi lowered the car window. Every time she drove this section of the road, she liked to enjoy the natural breeze. Time seemed to be slowed down by the wind in her ears.
As the car ran forward, the beautiful scenery was left behind. The early morning sunlight shone through the leaves on the road and on the clean front windshield. The mottled tree shadows swayed, making people feel relaxed and happy.
Because he lives far away, Boss Lu has to get up half an hour earlier than usual in order to show up at the store on time as before.
Although she didn't have to be in the store all the time, she got used to this lifestyle after a few years.
If you're not squatting in a factory, you're squatting in a hospital.
Apart from these two places, she seemed to have nowhere else to go.
As usual, Lu Anzhi parked the car in front of the store, pressed the key, got into the slowly rising rolling shutter door, then went to the electrical box to turn on all the switches, and finally went to the air compressor room to turn on the air.
After doing this, employees came one after another.
In their eyes, the boss is still the same Lu Anzhi, who is sweet-tongued and loyal. No one knows that she is married, and she even secretly married a wealthy young man.
Everyone was still making some inappropriate jokes occasionally as usual.
The weather is nice today. In order to save electricity, the air conditioner has not been turned on in the reception room.
Lu Anzhi and Chen Mo like to squat side by side in front of the store and enjoy the breeze.
Chen Mo poked her arm and glanced at the donkey meat hotpot restaurant next to him: "Boss, a lot of firecrackers were set off in Zhao Dapeng's store two days ago, and there were many more people eating than usual. Do you know why?"
"I don't know." Lu Anzhi yawned: "His wife gave birth to a second child?"
"No!" Chen Mo obviously couldn't keep up with someone's brain circuit. He glanced left and right and lowered his voice: "Her wife is out!"
Lu Anzhi was confused: "Where do you come from? Confinement center?"
"hiss……"
Chen Mo frowned, and sometimes he really wanted to hit her: "What! I told you she didn't have a second child."
"Where does that come from?"
"That, that...inside!"
Chen Mo made a few gestures, his eyes rolled, and even the lines on his forehead were funny.
Lu Anzhi narrowed his eyes: "Oh?"
Then he quickly asked: "When did she go in? Why didn't I know? What happened? Bigamy?"
Chen Mo's eyebrows almost turned into twists: "No, no, no!"
Then he moved closer to Lu Anzhi: "I heard that he hurt someone intentionally. He hit a customer and broke three of his ribs."
Looking at the three fingers wagging in front of her, Lu Anzhi paused: "Wait a minute, have I seen that landlady? The last time her son ran into our store to hide without doing his homework."
"Yes, yes!" Chen Mo nodded crazily: "Last time, you advised her not to beat the child to death if the child was too young. She could still teach her slowly in the future."
"I don't think she really fought."
"But when I hit my client, I really hit him, three ribs, three!"
Chen Mo touched his own as he said, "How painful is this, my mom..."
Lu Anzhi glared at him: "Why do you care so much? It's not to beat up our customers."
Chen Mo was still frightened: "But we offended her husband some time ago. Do you think they will retaliate against us?"
"No way..." Lu Anzhi tilted his head: "It's just a civilized debt collection. If they do it, we are in self-defense. Is this considered an offence?"
Just as Chen Mo was about to say something, a customer came into the store to change the engine oil. He responded and went up to arrange the work.
Lu Anzhi also stood up, her legs numb from squatting for a long time.
Limping to the reception room, she was used to counting up her daily orders, mainly to calculate how much money she made.
This busy time has come in the evening again, the construction of the last car has been completed, and the sun is about to set again.
Except for Master Huang, who worked overtime, everyone else left.
Lu Anzhi stayed at the end and closed the door. The screen of her mobile phone was always on and she didn't dare to turn it off. She sent a message to Tian Yufei last night, but she finally replied with two words.
But all the messages sent today have fallen into disarray.
Lu Anzhi frowned, picked up some daily necessities that she had taken time to buy at noon, closed the door and hurried towards the old house.
They live in an old city, and it doesn't have that urban feel when the lights come on. The street lights are gray and there aren't many pedestrians.
From time to time, there would be sounds of children playing in the alley, which looked more lively than those cold high-rise buildings.
The elevator opened slowly, and Lu Anzhi was covered in sweat while carrying large and small bags.
But when he looked up, he saw that the door of Tian Yufei's house was open, and things were being thrown out from time to time. The sound of Qingbao's crying mixed with the man's yelling was very real.
"Dad, don't throw it away, don't throw it away."
"Tian Yufei, this family can't survive now, right? I've been working so hard outside all day, and I don't even have a hot meal when I get home. It would be better for you to string beads for me here."
"I asked you to make skewers, but I threw them all away. Let's see if you have any excuses not to cook."
Lu Anzhi came closer and saw that the door of Tian Yufei's house was full of colorful crystal beads, large and small scattered on the ground, and there were many semi-finished products that were obviously partially completed.
The man's shouting did not stop, and the curse words he uttered changed from stringing beads and not cooking to the old topic of not being able to give birth to a boy, which made him unable to hold his head high in his hometown.
Lu Anzhi took a deep breath and piled the things in his hands against the wall.
He rushed forward menacingly.
