Shi Qing could not understand why someone as timid as her would dare to venture out alone to rescue her. Who gave her such courage?
"You’re back!" An Yin picked up the clothes from the floor again, placed them on the bed to fold them neatly, and shared her joy with a face full of delight. "I’m planning to go home after class tomorrow."
Upon hearing the words "go home," Shi Qing’s eyes gradually dimmed, and she responded with a "oh," then asked, "Should I ask for leave for you at the bar?"
"Sure, thank you." Hearing Shi Qing’s words, An Yin nodded without a second thought. She felt somewhat guilty about the part-time job because she had disappeared several times without permission and hadn’t asked for leave from Wen Mei. In the end, Wen Mei not only didn’t blame her but also showed great understanding, which warmed An Yin’s heart while also increasing her pressure. She was merely a small server in the bar, yet Wen Mei took such good care of her. Each time she thought of Wen Mei’s generosity, her passion for the job grew stronger!
With An Yin’s words, their conversation quickly came to an abrupt end.
Shi Qing was not a warm person, and An Yin’s temperament was also very quiet.
After An Yin packed her clothes, she pushed her suitcase in front of the wardrobe, and when she turned around, she saw Shi Qing with her back facing her.
From An Yin’s point of view, she couldn’t see Shi Qing’s face, only her long hair draped down her back.
An Yin slowly approached, recalling how the Dormitory Aunt had asked her about Shi Qing before. Afraid of disturbing her, An Yin softly said, "Earlier when I went downstairs, the Dormitory Aunt asked me if you were in the dormitory. I wonder what she’s looking for you for?"
"It shouldn’t be anything important." Upon hearing An Yin’s words, Shi Qing replied with an extremely unnatural expression, "She’s my neighbor."
The Dormitory Aunt was looking for her? Shi Qing could only think of one possibility: Shi Mum had asked her to convey a message! As for why Shi Mum was looking for her, it was either for money or something else malicious! Shi Qing’s blank face showed a trace of coldness! Since the argument between her and her mother, she had completely broken off with her!
An Yin was shocked, not expecting the Dormitory Aunt to be Shi Qing’s neighbor. New ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄhapters are published on 𝘯𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭·𝔣𝔦𝔯𝔢·𝗇𝗲𝘵
"Oh." An Yin didn’t ask further.
From their previous conversations, An Yin could sense that Shi Qing did not want to talk about her family. Respecting her wishes, An Yin did not even bring up the dangerous situation they had previously encountered, although she had some questions for Shi Qing. Yet, seeing Shi Qing’s indifferent attitude each time, An Yin couldn’t bring herself to ask. They both tacitly avoided mentioning Shi Qing’s blind date incident.
The dormitory now felt noticeably different to them. The previously empty bed that belonged to Yan Lan had gradually been filled with new items over this period, and even new bed curtains were installed today, looking rather unique. Yet, they had only seen changes happening to Yan Lan’s bed, as Yan Lan herself had yet to appear in the dormitory!
At the entrance of T University, a conspicuous black Bentley was parked by the roadside parking space.
Madam Su, wearing exquisite makeup, sat in the car wearing a pair of black sunglasses that covered half of her face. Her lips were tightly pursed as she gazed wistfully out the car window, watching students coming in and out of the campus without blinking, her eyes wide open, especially focusing on the young girls.
The driver in the front seat occasionally glanced out the car window, but mostly sat idly.
Recently, every afternoon, Madam Su would instruct the driver to head to T University’s entrance. Initially, the driver simply thought she missed the second young master. However, on two occasions, when she saw the second young master emerge from the campus, instead of showing any emotion, Madam Su’s gaze passed over him to search for someone else...
At that moment, the driver realized that Madam Su was not looking for the second young master but someone else entirely.
As time ticked by, fewer and fewer people were at the school’s entrance.
The sunset descended, and the sky was shrouded in dusk. The street lamps at the school gates lit up early, almost as soon as darkness fell, casting bright white light on the road, stretching the shadows of the cars along the roadside.
At this time, Madam Su took out her phone and found a number in her contacts. She stared at the number for a while until her eyes began to feel a scorching sensation. Entranced by the number, she removed her sunglasses and rubbed her aching eyes, feeling a bit better afterward!
Recently, she couldn’t shake off the thoughts of that young girl’s exquisite face from her mind, even haunting her dreams, providing no peace!
Does karma really exist in this world? Madam Su found herself trapped in anxiety.
Memories of the past, instead of fading with time, were becoming clearer each day.
Until she saw the young girl named "An Yin," memories that should have remained sealed made her restless!
To make matters worse, her useless son was fond of the girl. Of all people, he chose to get involved with someone who looks astonishingly like "that person," even sharing the same surname, triggering alerts within her!
Some things, once in the past, shouldn’t disturb her peaceful life, and she would not allow anyone to disrupt it!
Madam Su’s fingertips tightened slightly around her phone, and the next moment, she swiped across the screen again, watching the names in her contacts flash by until she stopped at "Meng Heming."
The next second, her eyes turned sharp as she dialed the number.
The phone rang several times but was not answered.
Madam Su’s patience gradually wore thin as she was about to hang up when a deep voice transmitted through the phone.
"Is there something you need?" The voice on the other end was bleak and indifferent.
"Brother-in-law..." Madam Su spoke with a smile full of ingratiation.
But as soon as she uttered two words, she was unceremoniously interrupted by the other side.
"Madam Su, don’t forget what I’ve told you!" The man’s voice was clear and carried an unyielding authority.
The sardonic title from the other side made Madam Su’s smile gradually stiffen, replaced with embarrassment. Yet, considering the other person’s identity, she could only suppress her discomfort and warmly said, "I heard Sihan returned to the country, and recently Yifeng has been frequently mentioning wanting to meet him. I thought, since it’s been a while since our families last met, why not set a date for me to take Yifeng to visit you?"
After saying this, the other end of the line remained silent. Madam Su pressed the phone to her ear, anxious not to miss a single word while waiting nervously for his response.
Even if the other person didn’t want to see her, Yifeng’s sake would warrant some consideration!
From a young age, Su Yifeng often visited the Meng Family, and the head of the Meng Family, Meng Heming, had a particular fondness for her youngest son, which was why Madam Su played the emotional card using her son!
Until the other side finally uttered these two words, only then did Madam Su completely breathe a sigh of relief.
