Chapter 283: Chapter 283: Porridge Shop, Familiar Alleyway
That silhouette really looked too much like Qiangwei, and even the name Gu Weiwei differed by only a character.
In front of the office desk, Li Yuan sank into a deep contemplation.
There had been no news of Qiangwei; the search had been fruitless despite three days and nights of effort.
That Gu Weiwei, she couldn’t be Qiangwei, could she?
If she were, she would have no reason not to return to Sijue. Right?
After much thought, Li Yuan felt that perhaps it was just a coincidence.
It seemed he had been thinking too much, longing for a miracle to happen, hoping that Qiangwei might still be alive.
But he was well aware that if Qiangwei were not dead, she would definitely have come back to find Sijue straight away.
With that thought, he stopped pondering on the matter and stood up to leave the hospital.
On the other side, Gu Qiangwei, who had just met with Huo Yishan, felt somewhat unsettled.
Huo Yishan reassured her, “Don’t worry, all your identities have been changed, even your date of birth has been completely altered; even if that guy wants to investigate you, he won’t come up with anything, relax!”
Gu Qiangwei looked up, “Are you sure?”
“Certain, and positive!”
With the Huo Family providing her protection, there would be no problems!
Hearing her say this, Gu Qiangwei’s hanging heart finally settled down a bit.
Hopefully, Li Yuan hadn’t seen her clearly.
In the following days, the thing Gu Qiangwei had been worried about didn’t happen, and she began to feel at ease.
That day, after finishing a day’s work, she was extremely tired.
It was already past eight, and because she didn’t have much of an appetite, she had skipped dinner and now felt somewhat hungry.
Thinking that Huo Yishan was still busy shooting, she decided not to go home, but instead turned the steering wheel and headed to the congee shop she hadn’t visited for a long time.
She had been craving the Grandma’s century egg and lean pork congee, which she hadn’t eaten for a while.
The alley was a little narrow, so she parked her car at the entrance and then walked in.
Every time she appeared, the Grandma selling congee was always very enthusiastic!
“Qiangwei? You haven’t been here for a long time.”
Seeing the Grandma, Gu Qiangwei smiled slightly, “Yeah, I’ve been too busy recently.”
Having said that, she found a spot and sat down.
Perhaps because it was already past dinner time, the place wasn’t very crowded, and several seats were empty.
“The usual?” Grandma asked with a smile.
Gu Qiangwei nodded her head.
The Grandma smiled and turned to leave.
While waiting for her congee, Gu Qiangwei suddenly realized that the spot she was sitting in was exactly where she and Qin Si had been the last time they came here together. At the thought of him, she couldn’t help but recall how he said he didn’t eat century eggs.
Remembering Qin Si, remembering the way he used to playfully tease and show off to her, Gu Qiangwei couldn’t help but lift a faint smile, but it seemed somewhat desolate.
At the same time, at the entrance of the alley, a shiny black sedan was parked.
In the back seat, Qin Si just sat there, looking intently through the car window at a place not far away.
The last time he had congee with Gu Qiangwei came to his mind, and passing by this familiar alleyway, he couldn’t help but blurt out to Luo Chen to stop the car.
In the front passenger seat, Luo Chen looked at him puzzled, unsure why he had stopped the car here, not getting out, and seemingly with no intention of leaving.
After a while, Qin Si finally moved, raising his hand to open the car door.
Stepping out, a pair of hand-crafted leather shoes shone with a polished luster.
Getting out of the car and looking at the familiar and lively alley, Qin Si walked over.
He wanted to taste once again the familiar flavor of the century egg and lean pork congee.
