Chapter 589: A Survival Guide for Women in the Old Republic of China (128)

Cao Shixun watched as the man put Su Yanqing down and refused to leave. His face darkened instantly, and when he was about to drive him away, he heard Su Xiangran say, "Cousin, you should go to the private room next door!

My brother is sick and resting now! I really can't spare the time to entertain others. "

Before he finished speaking, the man who was originally supporting Su Yanqing took a big step back like a frightened bird, then turned around and walked out the door without looking back, as if he would be silenced by Cao Shixun if he stayed for another second.

Witnessing the other party's terrified escape, Cao Shixun slowly stood up and walked towards the door of the private room, but he did not actually step out of the door. Instead, he slammed the door of the private room.

"Who is the bystander? When you asked me for help, you didn't have this attitude." Cao Shixun sneered and said sarcastically, "Your ability to pull the plank out after crossing the bridge is really an eye-opener for me."

"Crossing the bridge and pulling the plank out?" Su Xiangran's voice was unusually cold, and she didn't even bother to look at him. "If it weren't for your secret instructions, how could they do such a cruel thing to my brother?"

"Humph!" Cao Shixun looked unacceptable, "You can only blame yourself, Su Xiangran, for not knowing how to appreciate my kindness. Isn't it obvious enough that I like you? Why can't you just look at me! He, Song Chengjing, is already a dead man.

Xiao Ran, you are still young, are you going to stay with him forever? As long as you promise me, I will handle everything for you. Isn't it good to have me protecting you?"

"How dare you mention Brother Jing to me!" Su Xiangran looked up at Cao Shixun and glared at him, "You have forgotten what I said last time, right? Do you know how to like someone? You don't deserve it!"

After hearing this, Cao Shixun's face became even gloomier: "Since you are so ungrateful, then don't say that I am mean and vulgar!"

As he spoke, he moved closer to Su Xiangran step by step.

Seeing the other person walking towards her step by step, Su Xiangran was not very panicked, but she held the bracelet on her wrist tightly, as if she was going to stab him to death with a needle if he dared to come over.

Her action reminded Cao Shixun of the time when his arms felt numb and his body couldn't move, so he couldn't help but stop moving with some fear.

At this moment, a hoarse male voice came from outside the door: "Sir or Miss, do you want to buy cigarettes or food?"

Just as Cao Shixun was about to ask the people outside to leave, Su Xiangran spoke up first, "What do you have to eat?"

The man paused for a long time before answering, "They are all homemade buns and the like. Miss, if you don't want to open the door, you can choose for yourself."

"Get out of the way!" Su Xiangran stood up to open the door of the private room. When she passed by Cao Shixun, she growled at him.

He had already missed the opportunity just now. Anyway, there were still three days left in the journey. He would always find an opportunity. If Su Xiangran was really forced into a corner, she would not be easily bullied.

Thinking of this, Cao Shixun slightly moved aside to allow Su Xiangran to walk over and open the door.

However, the private room in the car was small to begin with, and he was tall, so they had to make some space for him. However, Su Xiangran could not avoid close contact with this person.

Smelling the lingering fragrance, Cao Shixun felt much better than before.

The door opened like this, and outside was a "middle-aged man" with a scar on his face and a beard. He stared at Su Xiangran blankly for a while, and then gradually came back to his senses under Cao Shixun's fierce eyes.

"Miss, I'm sorry, I come from a small town and I've never seen anyone as pretty as you." The middle-aged man explained in standard Beijing dialect, "Look, these are all the food we made ourselves, they're clean and delicious."

As he spoke, he opened the lid of a basket of food in front of him and introduced them to Su Xiangran one by one.

Before he could finish, Cao Shixun said, "Don't you have cigarettes? What brands do you have?"

As he said this, he unbuttoned his collar and glanced at the middle-aged man. He found that he was probably just an ordinary country man, so he didn't pay much attention to him.

The middle-aged man introduced several types of cigarettes he brought to Cao Shixun, but was rejected.

"You are from a small place after all. You come to a private room like this to sell your products. How can we be interested in your stuff?" Cao Shixun mocked, "Get out of here! If you dare to come over here again, I will kick you out of the car."

Unlike Cao Shixun's disgust, Su Xiangran glanced at the man's arm, her lips curled slightly, and the sadness that had lingered in her for many years disappeared for a moment.

It was just because she had her back to Cao Shixun at the moment and Su Xiangran was still lowering her head, so no one present noticed her change. When she looked up again, the faint smile had already disappeared.

"Brother, I really like your buns. How much are they?" Su Xiangran asked in a gentle tone.

Su Xiangran's friendly tone made the middle-aged man feel a little uncomfortable, but he still did not forget that he wanted to do business.

After briefly explaining the price of the buns and the two of them agreed on it, Su Xiangran bought a few buns with meat filling.

After the payment was made, when Su Xiangran took the buns, her hand accidentally brushed against the man's arm. The other party reacted quickly, dodged almost immediately, and lowered his rolled-up sleeves.

He looked at Su Xiangran in panic, only to see her blinking at him.

With a clenched heart, the middle-aged man turned and walked away, but the corner of his mouth was inconvenient, so he walked with a limp.

Su Xiangran was originally in a good mood, but looking at the other person's back...
