C2 (1/2)

Watching the old lady eat dinner, it was already 7 pm. Shen Chuxin was a little confused when she was tidying up the dishes, as the distant granddaughter of the old lady usually arrived a long time ago. Today, he didn't know the reason, nor did he make any calls.

Although he was puzzled, Shen Chu still did things seriously and meticulously. He cleaned up the bedroom without a speck of dust, then carried the tableware downstairs.

However, the old lady lying on the bed suddenly asked, ”Is the child used to it?”

Shen Chu Xin stopped and smiled to her, ”En, I've already gotten used to it.” When she saw the old lady frown, she seemed to have something else to ask, so she added, ”We have someone familiar helping us out.”

The old lady's gaze shifted to the gloomy night sky outside the window.

Since she promised to accompany him for dinner after work in the morning, Shen Chuxin didn't eat. Who knew that she would have to wait until almost 10 AM.

The old lady's distant granddaughter still hadn't come. After all, she had taken care of the old lady for three years. In the next two years, the entire family had actually treated her quite well.

When he returned home, he remembered that she was originally from A City and asked her for her opinion a few times before deciding to bring her with him. If it wasn't for the old lady, Shen Chu knew that he wouldn't have the courage to come back in this lifetime.

The old lady's schedule was always punctual. She had already gone to sleep by 9: 30. Seeing that he couldn't go home tonight, Shen Chuxin wanted to call Grandma Li, but her phone suddenly rang. When she looked down, a weak voice came from inside, ”Sister Shen, save … …” ”Me.” The text message buzzed, and the phone became a busy beep.

Shen Xi's heart skipped a beat and her heart skipped a beat when her fingers scrolled through the text message address. She hurriedly changed her shoes and locked the door, then ran out. The rain stopped at nine o'clock, and the chilly air outside caused her to shiver. She couldn't get into the car even if she ran outside the door — she was as anxious as if she was being roasted on fire.

His anxiety was indescribable.

An Audi Q7 drove out from the villa behind him and slowly stopped beside Shen Chuxin. As the window rolled down, a middle-aged man's face could be faintly seen under the dim light of the night, he asked with a smile of surprise, ”Eh, Little Shen, you're still not home yet? ”It's not good to take a taxi now. I'll send you wherever you go.”

Normally, how could Shen Chuxin get into the car of such a man with ill intentions? However, the situation was urgent, she had only come back to A City for half a year and did not know where she was. Worried, Shen Chuxin smiled gratefully, then got into the car of the neighboring Mr. Lu.

”Little Shen, where do you live? I see you alone a lot, doesn't your boyfriend live together? ” Mr. Lu seemed to be very concerned about Shen Chu's matters, he asked her one question after another after getting on the car.

Shen Chuxin and the old lady came back from France. After all, they didn't have much contact with each other, so even though they were not far from each other, no one knew about Shen Chuxin's situation.

She thought for a moment and tightened her grip on the phone in her hand. In the end, she slipped through the lock and passed it to him with a polite smile: ”Mr. Lu, can I trouble you to send me to this place? Little Su might have met with some trouble, so call me to help. ”

After Mr. Lu's expression changed slightly, he replied with a gentle smile, ”How could it be troublesome. It's only right for neighbors to help each other.” His line of sight slipped from the rearview mirror, stopping on Shen Chuxin's face for a few seconds before it landed on her phone.

But strangely, when Mr. Lu looked down at the address on the phone, his eyes seemed to flash with a strange light.

Shen Yue felt that something was wrong and secretly took note of it. With a faint smile on his face, he asked, ”Does Mr Lu know this place?”

Lu Jinhai stopped thinking about it and said with a smile, ”Yeah, it's probably because someone from a foreign country like Little Shen doesn't know about it. It's the most special place in A City.”

Shen Yuxin felt that he had a weird expression when he said the word 'special'. He changed the topic and did not mention it at this address.

Even after he took back his phone, he still couldn't help but send his uncle a message.

The place wasn't too far away. When the text message was sent, Lu Jinhai's Audi Q7 also stopped in an underground parking lot. He even went around to Shen Chuxin in a very gentlemanly manner, wanting to open the door for her, but Shen Chuxin wasn't slow. She had already jumped out of the car and was looking for an elevator, walking two steps towards the elevator before turning her head back, ”Mr Lu, thank you very much.”

The smile was polite and slightly grateful, but there was a hint of estrangement in his eyes.

”It's already so late, so I'm still a little worried. Therefore, I'll accompany you up!” Lu Jinhai couldn't tell that she was being distant or cold. While he was speaking, he had already entered the elevator.
