Chapter 458: An Elopement
At first, Wu Hai didn't believe it. He asked the security guard at the door about Yan Rui.
Unexpectedly, the security guard admitted it directly, saying that the boss did have a daughter named Yan Rui.
Wu Hai was in a trance for a long time. It turned out that his guess had been wrong all along.
He smiled helplessly and blamed himself for not asking in detail.
Wu Hai was not discouraged. He wanted to go in to see Yan Rui, but was stopped by the security guard.
"Kid, don't make things difficult for me."
The security guard explained the order that no one was allowed to see Yan Rui.
Wu Hai had no choice but to wait. As long as he waited until Yan Rui went out, he could go up and recognize her.
Unfortunately, Yan Rui had not been seen for several days, and only the transport truck carrying food materials entered.
Yan Rui was like a bird in a cage, unable to move freely.
However, during the days of squatting, Wu Hai also found a strange man in black.
Every night at nine o'clock, a man in black would climb over the railing of the Yan Family Manor with a bag of things and sneak into the manor.
Wu Hai thought it was a thief. The funny thing was that this thief had a high chance of being discovered. He was always discovered by the security guards, and when he escaped in disgrace, all the things he brought in were gone.
He didn't steal anything, and even lost his equipment.
He looked like a very inexperienced thief.
With the example of this thief, Wu Hai also began to imitate him, sneaking over the wall at night.
Since he was not allowed to enter, he would sneak in and look for it!
Wu Hai was very agile, and he could look around the super villa in the manor. As long as there was a room with lights on, Wu Hai would go to look.
Unexpectedly, he met the sneaky black-clad man with a backpack on his back halfway.
"Hey." Wu Hai wanted to say hello.
As a result, the man was scared and ran away.
This was the first time Wu Hai had seen such an inexperienced thief.
But he didn't care, and continued to look for Yan Rui's room. Finally, he found Yan Rui on the fifth floor of the villa.
Wu Hai looked through the window and saw the quiet girl who was writing a letter on the desk.
Wu Hai wanted to push the window open, but it was locked from the inside.
At this time, Yan Rui in the room stood up and showed an anxious expression holding the letter in her hand.
Wu Hai reacted. He had been squatting for 4 days, and he hadn't replied to Yan Rui in these four days. She was worried.
So Wu Hai smiled and knocked on the window.
Yan Rui in the room looked over, her gloomy expression was happy, and she ran to the window in surprise, pulled up the window with force, and her quiet little face showed excitement: "Wu Hai!"
"Xiao Rui." Wu Hai grinned, still with a sunny smile.
"Come in quickly, it's so cold outside!"
Yan Rui pulled Wu Hai into the room and held Wu Haibing's red hands tightly with both hands.
The two looked at each other in silence. Wu Hai smiled foolishly and scratched his head, and Yan Rui's face gradually blushed.
"Uh... that, don't you have to submit a portrait sketch at the beginning of the school? Your sketching skills are not very good, so I thought of giving you a tutorial."
Wu Hai found an excuse. As a boy, it is embarrassing to say to your face that he misses you and wants to see you.
"Well..."
Yan Rui blushed and nodded.
Taking out the drawing board in the room, Wu Hai really began to teach Yan Rui sketching.
The sound of the brush rustling sounded in the room. Wu Hai taught her as carefully as he did in the training institution.
Time passed quickly, and it was 12 o'clock in a blink of an eye.
Dongdongdong, there was a knock on the door: "Xiao Rui, it's already 12 o'clock, it's time to go to bed."
"Okay, mom." Yan Rui was shocked and immediately pushed Wu Hai to the corner and hid.
Then, the key of the room door turned several times before opening the door.
The door of the room was locked from the outside.
A well-maintained lady peeked into the room and retreated, locking the room again.
Yan Rui breathed a sigh of relief, then walked to the window and looked out.
At this time, Wu Hai had already stood on the window, and he stood on the steps outside the window sill with a swift flip: "Hey, I should go too, I'll see you tomorrow."
Yan Rui: "Little...be careful!"
Wu Hai: "Oh, by the way, give me all the letters you wrote recently, I'll go back and read them."
Yan Rui blushed, and then took out a pile of letters from the drawer.
"So many?!"
Yan Rui pursed her lips, and then grinned gently.
"Okay, I will definitely read them carefully when I go back." Wu Hai put the letters into the inner layer of clothes, and then tucked the inner layer of clothes into his pants, so that a huge pocket was formed inside.
Then Wu Hai began to use his swift skills to walk through the steps of the big villa, which made Yan Rui hold her hands in front of her chest, very distressed.
After Wu Hai landed safely, Yan Rui was relieved, and the two waved goodbye.
After Wu Hai left, Yan Rui looked around, as if waiting for others to come to the window.
She could only hope like this, but she was powerless.
Every day after that, Wu Hai would come secretly at a fixed time of nine o'clock, sometimes teaching Yan Rui to draw, sometimes telling stories, sometimes talking about his experience of working part-time outside, and describing the outside world to Yan Rui.
What puzzled Wu Hai was that the very inexperienced thief also came every day.
Every time he saw Wu Hai, he ran away very fast and disappeared in a flash.
Later, Wu Hai came a little late and ran into the thief when he was climbing the building.
This thief was thinner than the average man. Wu Hai saw this and helped him catch him. No matter how incompetent he was, he was still a thief.
"You, thief, are quite persistent. You are smart today. You came earlier and got quite a lot."
Wu Hai held the thief with one hand and snatched his bulging black sack with the other hand.
Then he unzipped it and dumped it out.
Crash.
Originally, Wu Hai thought it would be some valuable items, such as watches and diamonds.
As a result, the things that fell on the ground turned out to be some potato chips, snacks, drinks, some romance novels and other celebrity peripherals, toys and other small gadgets.
Wu Hai was dumbfounded: "You thief... You went to so much trouble to steal these things? Are you crazy?"
The thief suddenly struggled, and took advantage of Wu Hai's daze to get away directly: "Humph! You are crazy!"
After saying this, the thief ran away immediately.
Wu Hai was confused. The voice just now... was it a woman?
After Wu Hai climbed into Yan Rui's room, he also told her about this incident, but he didn't mention what he stole.
"It's okay. That thief is useless, and he's stupid. He always runs into me. I catch him every time I see him."
Yan Rui knew that if she told her family about the thief, the security would be strengthened, and Wu Hai might not be able to get in.
"But you, when can you go out? When you go out, we can go to the beach to paint." Wu Hai said expectantly.
Yan Rui shook her head, as if she thought of something in reality, and her expression was not good.
In the following days, Wu Hai kept coming, and occasionally saw the thief.
"I see that you are a woman, so I won't use heavy hands on you. Go by yourself."
Although the thief was masked, he gritted his teeth and could only run away.
What made Wu Hai more strange was that when he chatted with Yan Rui at night, Yan Rui would tell him that a powerful security guard had come to the manor and asked him to be careful.
But Wu Hai recalled in his mind that there was no powerful new security guard at all.
Ten days passed like this. Wu Hai used to come at 9 o'clock, but once he got off work early, he arrived at 7:30 just after dark.
That day, when Wu Hai climbed up to the fifth floor, his pupils dilated instantly.
Because the black-clad thief who had fought with him for many rounds was standing by Yan Rui's window!
The window was open, and he was climbing in with her huge sack on his back!
"Hey!" Wu Hai yelled.
"Huh?" The thief turned around with a frustrated look: "Brother, what are you doing? Is it necessary to be a security guard so desperate? You have chased me here!"
Wu Hai was dissatisfied: "I am not a security guard!"
Thief: "Then what are you doing here!"
"I...I..." Wu Hai blushed instantly: "I came to see the person I want to see."
"See the person you want to see?" The thief noticed something was wrong, and the next moment he was angry: "You pervert, you come to peek at my sister every day, right!"
"Wait! Who peeked! You are the one who wants to enter Xiaorui's room to steal things, right! Come here!"
The two wrestled on the balcony.
Yan Rui in the window was dumbfounded: "Hey, stop fighting, I think there must be some misunderstanding between you."
Yan Rui saw that the two had not stopped yet and wanted to flip out of the window directly, so they stopped.
Lin Mo: "Xiao Rui, don't move."
"Little sister, what are you doing, what if you fall."
The two seemed to know that Yan Rui's physique was weak.
"You... come in first."
Yan Rui seemed to understand.
After the explanation, the misunderstanding between Wu Hai and the thief was cleared.
It turned out that the thief was Yan Rui's sister who ran away from home, named Yan Hua.
In Wu Hai's mouth, Yan Hua was a thief.
In Yan Hua's mouth, Wu Hai was the annoying security guard.
A misunderstanding occurred.
"Hey, it turned out to be my sister." Wu Hai grinned and laughed foolishly.
Yan Hua grabbed Wu Hai's ear with one hand: "Good boy, I thought you were a security guard before, but I didn't expect you to be a flower thief! You picked my sister's head!"
"Hey... Sister Hua, listen to my explanation."
Wu Hai could only bear the pain and explain the matter again. With Yan Rui's explanation, Yan Hua let go, accepted the fact, and then looked at Wu Hai.
Looking at him eagerly, he always felt that his cabbage was being taken away by someone else!
"Sister Hua, why did you bring a bunch of snacks and novels for Xiao Rui?"
Yan Rui put her hands on her hips like a big sister: "You are stupid, my little sister is locked up at home, so she can only practice piano, dance, and paint. If she stays like this, she will be driven crazy. Of course I have to bring back fun things!"
Wu Hai shook his head: "So that's the case, then why was Xiao Rui locked up?"
Yan Hua was stunned, and her strong breath weakened: "That... is because... I ran away... so my parents strictly guarded my little sister..."
It turned out that Yan Hua couldn't stand the heavy atmosphere of the family and the fate that she couldn't control, so she chose to escape from this family.
At the age of 21, she has been wandering around the world and making a living by selling paintings.
After she ran away, Yan Rui became the only choice for marriage, so she was strictly guarded.
In the days that followed, Wu Hai came with Yan Hua at night, and the two were like comrades-in-arms.
Wu Hai also learned from Yan Hua about the confinement and control they suffered at home.
And Yan Hua could also see that Yan Rui and Wu Hai were truly in love.
So Yanhua, who was rebellious, came up with a good idea - elopement!
"Little sister, you and Wu Lengzi elope, I will help you! I will pay for your living expenses, you can go traveling, have fun, and be yourself!"
Yanhua waved her hands like a knight and said yearningly, wanting to make the two of them successful.
"Then mom and dad..." Yanrui is completely different from Yanhua, she is the kind of person who is more obedient.
"It's okay, they can't find us, and besides, they don't care about us so much, it's okay for us to run away, let's go!"
Yanrui looked at Wu Hai, her heart was already stirring.
She had been imprisoned and controlled for a long time and had longed for freedom.
So, with the help of Yanhua.
Wu Hai and Yanrui had a youthful elopement.
They went to the snow-capped mountains, went to the beach, and experienced everything they could experience.
Even if Yanhua, the elder sister, broke her waist at work in order to earn enough money for the two to elope, she was very pleased and motivated to work as long as she thought of her younger sister having fun at the moment.
Until one day, Yan Hua was caught by his father.
Of course, Wu Hai and Yan Rui were also caught.
Their father Yan Yan was a middle-aged man with wrinkles on his face and full of majesty, exuding severity.
When Yan Hua saw Yan Rui and the others, she knew that it was all over.
The elopement failed.
In fact... Yan Hua had long known that it would be easy for her father to find them, she just wanted her little sister to experience the love of youth before her life was controlled.
Maybe there was still a glimmer of salvation.
She stood up, neither humble nor arrogant: "Yan Yan, I will go back with you, you let my little sister go."
"Sister!" Yan Rui also stood up immediately: "Dad, I will go back, you let my sister go, she has her own dream, let her realize it."
The stern middle-aged man glanced at Yan Hua, then waved his hand, and Yan Rui was taken back.
Wu Hai wanted to get up, but was directly held down by five strong security guards.
"No! Dad, I will go back, you let my little sister go." Yan Rui, like a knight, begged for help for the first time.
Yan Yan remained silent. After Yan Rui left, he looked at Yan Hua, his tone was not so heavy anymore, and even revealed a hint of helplessness:
"Hua'er, the company owes money and needs to transform, so they set their sights on Xiao Rui. I... can't let you continue to make trouble.
You know, the company has more than 10,000 people to support.
Behind them are 10,000 families. I have been in arrears of wages for two months. They have mortgages to pay and children to raise. If they stop paying for two months, they will not be able to bear it. I don't want the people who follow me to be disappointed."
Yan Hua said angrily: "Where is the manor! You capitalist, why don't you mortgage the manor and pay everyone's wages."
Yan Yan heard that the wrinkles on his face seemed to have relaxed, and he said dully: "It has been mortgaged."
Yan Hua was stunned for a moment, and then said angrily: "You are a liar! Don't pretend to be pitiful in front of me, you cruel guy! Give me back my sister!"
Yan Hua rushed up and knocked Yan Yan.
Yan Yan let Yan Hua knock on him, and said with some emotion: "I carry the burden of 10,000 families. In the current situation of great change, if I don't seek change and transformation, when their second and third generations enter the market, our company will fail and more than 10,000 employees will be laid off. I have to do this.
I have to live up to these brothers who have been fighting with me for 20 years.
Hua'er, go ahead, you have loved freedom since you were a child."
Yan Yan stroked the head of Yan Hua who was knocking on him.
"You are lying. You have been mean to me and my sister since we were young! You are just using us as tools."
Yan Yan just said sadly: "Compared with the vast majority of people living in dire straits, your thoughts are too hypocritical. You have not thought that your two younger brothers do not have a luxurious life. They have been working at the age of 17 and are the most tired in the group company.
And you have been living in the big manor, enjoying the special treatment of the nanny and the chef.
The freedom you are talking about is just for your selfishness. Moreover, with your diploma that you have not even graduated from college, why do you think you can find a job in the studio?
I arranged it, you know.
I fought my way out from the bottom. I have some ability and can live a good life, but I also want my brothers and subordinates who have worked with me for so many years to live a good life.
Sorry, Hua."
