1349 I Only Want You 47 (1/2)

When she arrived, the local weather wasn't good and the sky was rather downcast.

Having only brought a set of bright clothing and necessities, she pulled her luggage out of the airport and took a taxi to her destination.

When she arrived at the residential estate, she went to have a meal first.

The estate was completely different from how she imagined it to be.

It wasn't a high-class residential estate, and the buildings weren't new either.

No matter how she looked at it, it seemed like an old residential estate.

Chen Anran would actually live here?

But there was nothing wrong with the address Fan Shixin had given her. Carrying all these doubts, An Xiaoning entered the stairway of one of the buildings.

There was a foul smell in the stairway, so she went in with her hand covering her nose.

There wasn't even a lift, only stairs.

An Xiaoning could only climb the stairs all the way to the fourth storey.

Surveying her surroundings, she realized that the estate didn't even have surveillance cameras installed in the stairway.

She had gone there without a mask. She had thought that since she was going there, there was no need to conceal her identity; her re-investigation of the case would soon be made known to all.

She pressed the doorbell once, but there was no sound inside at all.

Could she not be home?

She pressed the doorbell yet again.

This time, a rather loud noise sounded from inside. It sounded like something had dropped, and the noise was pretty crisp and clear, like the sound of glass shattering on ceramic tiles. Judging from how the sound could be heard so clearly from outside, it was evident that the house wasn't soundproof at all.

Would Chen Anran, someone who had an established family background, stay at such a shabby place?

The door eventually opened.

The woman that stood before An Xiaoning was distinctly different from her.

Her hair was in a complete mess, and her face was in terrible shape and had poor coloring. There was no makeup on her either.

The pair of loose-fitting set of pyjamas looked disharmonious on her thin body, and a gust of hot air blew from inside the house, seemingly from a heater.

”You're… An Xiaoning?”

She actually recognized her.

”Hi. May I come in?”

She looked at An Xiaoning in astonishment and eventually murmured a short answer and agreed.

She really was completely different from how An Xiaoning imagined her to be.
