C79 (1/2)
Following the address shown by the system, Xiang Qicheng and Chu Yu arrived at the nursing home that Chu Xuan was staying at.
Although the nursing home wasn't in Anlan City, it was less than twenty minutes away from the Anlan City. The transportation was extremely convenient, and the location could be considered to be considered a treasured Feng Shui location.
Entering through the gate was a small garden. The lush trees and the flowers on both sides of the road made one feel relaxed and happy. On the tables in the middle, there were chessboard for the elderly to pass their time.
”The environment here is really good …” Chu Yu looked around and muttered softly to himself, as suspicion rose in his heart.
After his father moved out of the rented house, he wandered around begging for money. It was impossible for him to live here on his own.
Moreover, the environment here was of the best quality compared to the facilities here. Unless one was a wealthy family, it was impossible for them to afford the high pension fees here.
”Looks like someone important is secretly helping your father.” Xiang Qicheng obviously saw through Chu Yu's thoughts and said.
Entering a house in front of the garden, just as Chu Yu and Xiang Qicheng were about to enter, they were stopped by a front desk staff.
”Do you have an appointment for your visit?” The middle-aged woman who sat at the front desk spoke as usual. Her tone was serious, but her eyes never left the computer screen in front of her.
Chu Yu awkwardly stood there and stuttered: ”There's no appointment... However … My father is inside. ”
”We've booked all the visits in advance. Are you sure you didn't go to the wrong place?” The middle aged woman turned her gaze to Chu Yu. She was filled with suspicions, and continuously sized her up, her tone was not friendly.
Damn, he must have thought of her as a female swindler! Chu Yu secretly cursed in his heart, and regretted coming too impulsively.
Originally, she should have asked the police department for a visiting slip after seeing the pictures in the police station's engine room. Otherwise, she wouldn't be so embarrassed now.
”There's nothing wrong here. There's a problem with the program over at your side. They didn't help us make an appointment in advance.” Xiang Qicheng who was standing behind him suddenly spoke, the thick voice allowed Chu Yu's heart to calm down.
The middle-aged woman handed the registration form and a pen to the table in doubt. ”You can go in after you have registered.” Then he looked down at the TV show in front of him.
Chu Yu quickly signed her name on the registration book and rushed inside. She only wanted to see her father quickly and wanted to know how he was doing right now.
It was 4: 30 in the afternoon. It was a good time to bask in the sun.
There were quite a few old men sitting on chairs in the garden, squinting their eyes as they basked in the sun. There were also two or three old men fighting in the sun not too far away.
Chu Yu walked around but did not see Chu Xuan. She could not help but become anxious as the thought in her heart made her even more afraid.
Just as he was about to turn around and leave, he saw a familiar back beside a big boulder. Standing alone beside the rock, with a head full of grizzled hair and an aged back, Chu Yu's nose turned sour and tears flowed down his face.
Step by step, he walked behind the old man. Chu Yu's heart became heavy, she opened her mouth, but realized that she couldn't shout no matter what.
”Dad …” The old man's back quivered and he slowly turned around.
