C52 (2/2)

Shen Meng's face revealed a smile. It was obvious that it was because of what Fang Jin had said. She hesitated slightly before saying, ”That person from before is my second uncle.”

”Yes.” Fang Jin nodded his head lightly. Regarding this, he was not surprised at all. Just now in the restaurant, Fang Jin had heard Shen Meng shouting at the middle-aged man.

Shen Meng softly said, ”My parents died in a car accident when I was 16 years old. I am the only one who lives in this world. Those relatives of mine fawned over us while my parents were still alive. But when my parents left, they all changed their faces. ”

After pausing for a moment, Shen Meng continued, ”They realised my parents' company and put all their money into their own pockets. They even said that they were keeping the money for me. [Now you actually want me to marry a foppish young lord.]

”This is something I can't stand, so I ran out of the house and found a job outside until now.” Shen Meng briefly explained what had happened to her to Fang Jin.

After listening to Shen Meng's explanation, Fang Jin's face revealed a look of realization. At this moment, he finally understood why a local man like Shen Meng wanted to rent a house.

It turned out that the reason she was renting a house outside was to hide from her relatives.

Looking at Shen Meng's face, Fang Jin suddenly felt a twinge of heartache. Although he had only met Shen Meng today and had only confirmed their relationship, there was no doubt that Fang Jin already had a good impression of Shen Meng at this moment.

After a moment of hesitation, Fang Jin reached out and took Shen Meng into her arms.

Shen Meng obviously did not expect that Fang Jin would make such a move. She could not help but be stunned for a moment. However, she quickly regained her senses and a smile appeared on her face.

She lightly sobbed and hugged Fang Jin.

The two of them tightly embraced each other. However, the strange feeling between them soon disappeared. At this moment, both Fang Jin and Shen Meng had a feeling, as if they had known each other for a long time.

After hugging for who knows how long, Fang Jin let go of Shen Meng's arms and said with a smile, ”Were you full just now?”

Hearing Fang Jin's words, Shen Meng's face turned red. She gently shook her head and said in a low voice, ”No.”

”Actually, I don't have one either.” Fang Jin chuckled and said, ”Since that's the case, let's go and have a feast.” ”Let's go, I'll take you somewhere.”

As Fang Jin said this, he pulled Shen Meng's hand and walked off into the distance. Shen Meng naturally would not reject Fang Jin. At this moment, the two of them quickly walked off into the distance, leaving Fang Jin holding her hand.

Fang Jin's destination was the street where the snacks were served behind Five Lake University. There were a lot of snacks here, and the food was cheap and good. It was a place where most university couples would come to.

At this moment, this street was filled with people. Fang Jin brought Shen Meng here and saw a black mass of people.

”Let's go. Take whatever you want to eat.” Fang Jin laughed mischievously as he spoke to Shen Meng.

In her heart, Shen Meng had long since treated Fang Jin as her boyfriend. At this moment, she naturally wouldn't be polite. Her gaze quickly swept across the food stalls on both sides and she would occasionally buy something. Fang Jin was closely following behind Shen Meng and paying the bill for her actions.

Walking down a street, Shen Meng and Fang Jin actually ate until they were full. Both of them had grease stains on their mouths at the moment. The two of them looked at each other. At this moment, they could not help but laugh.

Fang Jin took out a tissue from his pocket and wiped Shen Meng's mouth. He opened his mouth and said, ”Have you eaten your fill?”

”Yes.” Shen Meng smiled and nodded. Just as she was about to say something, Fang Jin's phone rang.

Fang Jin frowned. It was already night time, who would call her at this time? Suspicious, Fang Jin took the phone from his pocket.

”Who is it?” Shen Meng curiously walked over and leaned on the side of Fang Jin's head, her gaze on Fang Jin's phone.

”I don't know.” Fang Jin shook his head. The number that appeared on the screen was an unfamiliar number. He didn't even know who it was. This made Fang Jin curious.

As for his phone number, all he knew was those familiar people. As for strangers, it was impossible for them to know his phone number.

Perplexed, Fang Jin pressed the answer button. The moment the phone was picked up, a woman's voice came out from the receiver.
