Chapter 911: Chapter 911 - There Is No Chance (1)

In the restaurant of the clubhouse.

After eating for ten minutes, Su Jian’an finally found that Luo Xiaoxi stared at her mobile phone much more frequently than before, with a very weird smile on her lips.

“Brother,” Su Jian’an said to Su Yicheng, “check if there is a handsome guy hidden in Xiaoxi’s mobile phone.”

Su Yicheng glanced at Luo Xiaoxi and replied, “No, it’s her favorite thing.”

“High heels?” Su Jian’an asked while biting her chopsticks with confusion, “Xiaoxi, you can’t wear high heels now, can you? Shouldn’t you feel frustrated when you see them but can’t wear them? Why are you still smiling so happily?”

Luo Xiaoxi did not explain, but mysteriously handed the phone to Su Jian’an and motioned for her to look at them herself.

Su Jian’an saw that Luo Xiaoxi had just posted three photos of a pair of shoes on Microblog, each of which showed that the shoes were very charming.

Indeed, the shoes were very adorable. They were designed to be elegant and unique.

“Well,” Su Jian’an could not help saying admiringly, “what’s the brand of the shoes? It’s so adorable.”

Luo Xiaoxi blinked, and there was a hint of pride in her eyes. “Xiaoxi brand.”

Su Jian’an did not react for a moment. “Did I forget this brand? Why have I never heard of this brand?”

“Of course, you haven’t heard of it, but you know the founder of this brand.” With it, Luo Xiaoxi pointed to herself and added, “It’s me.”

Only then did Su Jian’an understand. She looked at Luo Xiaoxi incredulously. “You are the designer?!”

“Uh-huh,” said Luo Xiaoxi, “I just casually painted a pair of shoes for fun at that time. I didn’t expect them to be so beautiful after they were made. Look at the comments on Microblog.”

Su Jian’an clicked on the comments, and they were all positive. Several well-known fashion bloggers made comments and hoped that Luo Xiaoxi would reveal the purchasing channel or the brand name. They searched for a long time but failed to find any useful information.

However, if this pair of shoes was designed by Luo Xiaoxi, they must have been made by Su Yicheng. Su Yicheng could not have made more than one pair of shoes.

In other words, there was only one pair of such shoes in the world.

Su Jian’an gave Luo Xiaoxi a thumbs-up and a look of admiration.

She had known Luo Xiaoxi for so many years, and for the first time, she knew that Luo Xiaoxi was so talented in design.

If she had known this earlier, she would have persuaded Luo Xiaoxi to major in design after going abroad. If so, Luo Xiaoxi might have become an internationally famous designer.

“The only pity is that I can’t wear them now.” Luo Xiaoxi stroked her lower abdomen and added, “I don’t know when this baby will be born.”

After this baby was born, she could wear her high heels and calmly appreciate everyone’s look of admiration.

Su Jian’an gave Luo Xiaoxi a comforting look. “You’ll have to be patient.”

“...” Luo Xiaoxi thought about it and could not refute it.

“If you feel pity, you can give them to me.” Su Jian’an looked as if she had considered everything for Luo Xiaoxi, and said seriously, “I can help you wear them and appreciate everyone’s look of admiration.”

“...” Luo Xiaoxi did not speak and seemed to be lost in thought.

Su Jian’an thought that Luo Xiaoxi was struggling, so she smiled and said, “Well, I’m just kidding. We wear shoes of different sizes. Even if you really give them to me, they don’t fit me.”

“No, I’m just thinking about something else.” Luo Xiaoxi suddenly raised the corners of her mouth, and a sincere smile climbed up her eyebrows from the bottom of her heart, making people think that she had seen a bright future.

Su Jian’an was confused by Luo Xiaoxi’s appearance and looked at her with a puzzled look. “What are you thinking about?”

Luo Xiaoxi said mysteriously, “I’ll tell you after I think it over!” She was going to go back and discuss it with Su Yicheng!

“Okay.” Then, Su Jian’an turned to look at Xu Youning. “Youning, hasn’t Boss Mu come back yet?”

Xu Youning shook her head and said, “Mu Sijue just sent me a message, saying that he would come back late today.”

Xu Youning did not seem to be interested in saying more, so Su Jian’an dropped the subject and filled Xu Youning a bowl of soup. “You and Xiaoxi should drink much.”

Xu Youning smiled and said, “Thank you.”

After the meal, they split and went home. Xu Youning walked alone and walked the fastest.

Su Jian’an looked at Xu Youning’s back and held Lu Boyan’s hand. “I received your message this morning.”

“Hmm.” Lu Boyan said, “Did you notice anything unusual about Xu Youning?”

“No, there should be also nothing unusual in the afternoon,” Su Jian’an said, “and if there was, Xiaoxi would send me a message. Actually, I want to know why you suddenly asked me to pay attention to Youning.”

“Sijue told me that Xu Youning still wanted to trade her for Mom,” said Lu Boyan, “but she’s now pregnant with Sijue’s child, and I can’t let her do that.”

“Youning hasn’t given up this idea yet?” Su Jian’an frowned and added, “I’ll talk to her tomorrow.”

Su Jian’an might be able to persuade Xu Youning into giving up that idea, so Lu Boyan did not say anything more.

At this time, Su Jian’an did not know that she had no chance to persuade Xu Youning.

In contrast, Luo Xiaoxi was the most relaxed and happiest person.

Luo Xiaoxi almost dragged Su Yicheng back to the villa, and her steps were so springy that she did not look like a pregnant woman but an excited child.

Su Yicheng was a little curious. “Xiaoxi, what are you going to tell me?”

“I want to establish my own shoe brand!”

Luo Xiaoxi looked at Su Yicheng and pronounced every word clearly. She said it as seriously as she had vowed to Su Yicheng that she must marry him.

Su Yicheng looked at her carefully for a moment and found that Luo Xiaoxi was not joking. He was stunned for half a second. “I don’t object to your doing what you want to do, but do you know that it is very arduous to establish a brand?”

“I know it,” Luo Xiaoxi said as if she did not care at all, “but I will not be as tired as you were when you came back from abroad to start a business, will I? Since you made it, I can make it too!”

“But you are now pregnant and need to rest,” Su Yicheng reminded.

“I’ll just rest when I need to rest,” said Luo Xiaoxi, “and in the daytime, I can do what I want to do. Pregnant women are not so vulnerable!”

“If you want to establish your own brand of shoes, shoes come first,” After that, Su Yicheng asked, “what are you going to do to solve this problem?”

“To design shoes,” Luo Xiaoxi looked relaxed and said with a smile, “I’ll be the chief designer, also the only designer.”

“Well,” Su Yicheng said, “you should design shoes first.”

He knew too well that Luo Xiaoxi was always a three-minute passion person. After designing a few pairs of shoes, she would soon lose her passion for them. After another while, maybe she would even forget that she wanted to establish a brand.

But now, her passion was real. He had better not discourage her. It was the wisest choice to wait for her passion and impulse to fade away.

Luo Xiaoxi was rushing into it, completely unaware of what Su Yicheng was thinking at all. She turned around and rushed to the study room on the second floor, took a piece of paper and a pen, sat down and began to paint.

Feeling Luo Xiaoxi’s passion, Su Yicheng had a headache and massaged his temples.

This time, Luo Xiaoxi’s passion might last... for six minutes. He should deal with his own affairs during this period.

Soon, it was ten o’clock. Su Yicheng took away Luo Xiaoxi’s paper and pen and said, “Go to take a shower and sleep.”

After everyone fell asleep, Mu Sijue came back, and Xu Youning was sitting on the sofa in the living room and waiting for him.

As soon as he entered, Mu Sijue noticed Xu Youning. He frowned and asked, “Why don’t you sleep?”

“You came back so late. Did you go to deal with Auntie Tang’s incident?” Xu Youning asked eagerly, “Is there any progress?”

“You don’t need to know too much.” Then, Mu Sijue ordered, “Go to sleep!”

Before Xu Youning could say anything, Mu Sijue’s mobile phone rang.

Mu Sijue took out his phone and saw a notice that there was a new email.

He thought of something, and his face suddenly clouded. He clicked on the email.

Sure enough, it was from Kang Ruicheng, containing several photos of Tang Yulan.

Tang Yulan was obviously weaker in these photos than she was yesterday. She looked much older than before, as if she had suddenly turned into an old people in her twilight years from an open-minded and lovely old lady. There was no trace of vitality in her at all.

In the last photo, Tang Yulan fainted on the ground.

It was very cold in City A in winter. If Tang Yulan lay on the ground like this, even if she was not injured, she would get sick.

Mu Sijue’s jaw immediately tightened, and the mobile phone in his hand was almost deformed by his pinch.

Xu Youning noticed that something was unusual. She stared at Mu Sijue and asked, “Mu Sijue, what message did you receive?”

Mu Sijue took back his phone, pretended to be calm and said, “Nothing.”

“Liar!” Xu Youning said flatly, “Kang Ruicheng sent photos of Auntie Tang again, right?”

“It’s too late now.” Mu Sijue’s voice was a little cold. “Go to sleep.”

“Show me the photos.” Xu Youning stretched out her hand as if she hadn’t heard Mu Sijue’s words. “Give me your phone!”

Xu Youning would probably not be able to calm down upon looking at those photos.

So Mu Sijue did not intend to listen to Xu Youning. He grabbed her hand and was about to take her upstairs.

Xu Youning struggled hard and added, “Mu Sijue, Auntie Tang was kidnapped because of me. I should know what Kang Ruicheng did to her!”

“...” Mu Sijue’s face clouded, and he did not speak.

“I know what you’re thinking. You think I’ll feel distressed if I see the photos, don’t you?” Xu Youning paused and suddenly lowered her voice. “But I’ll feel even worse if I can’t see the photos!”

“...”

Xu Youning finally pleaded, “Mu Sijue, stop hiding from me that I should know.”

Mu Sijue loosened his grip on the phone.

According to Xu Youning’s personality, hiding the photos from her could only hide Auntie Tang’s injury from her at most, and it could not make her feel better.

However, the photos were so cruel that Mu Sijue could not bear to let her see them.

Xu Youning noticed that Mu Sijue was absent-minded, so she grabbed Mu Sijue’s mobile phone. Before the screen went dark, she had pressed the Home button, and the email sent from Kang Ruicheng came into her sight...n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
