Deep Love for Life - C2
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.
Shen Chu was in a hurry to find Xiaosu, he really didn’t have much time to waste on her, so he could only thank her again. The elevator door closed and went up to the fifth floor.
When Mr. Lu was in the elevator, his eyes were different from when he usually saw Shen Chu Xin. They were glued to her body in a somewhat casual manner, and there was also an expression that Shen Chu didn’t understand at all.
The fifth floor was a club. It was hard to find anyone in the flickering lights. Shen Chuxin took out her phone and made a call. It was a long while before someone picked up. It wasn’t Xiaosu’s voice, it was a male’s voice, with a hint of hoarseness, “Who are you?
Shen Chuxin rushed into the relatively quiet bathroom and loudly said, “I’m Su Li’s sister. Please give her the phone and let her answer it!” Such a loud sound was still swallowed up by the deafening sound of the moving music outside.
If he tried to call her again, he wouldn’t be able to get through. Lu Jinhai advised her, “Either that, we’ll look for her first. If she sent the correct address, then she’s still here.” Seeing Shen Yuxin’s worried look, he comforted her, “They are all young people who like to play. Nothing will happen to them.”
Xiao Su is usually a quiet girl. Even in the villa, she rarely chats with Shen Yuxin. Unless it was absolutely necessary, not only would she be late, she would even make such a phone call. It would be strange if she could be at ease!
But under the circumstances, she also knew it wasn’t wise to call the police. On the contrary, it might cause unnecessary trouble, but they could only slowly search for it while burning with anxiety.
They searched for about half an hour. They searched through all the booths outside, but they couldn’t find Little Su. Lu Jinhai told him to go to the bar and ask again, and when he came back, he already had two bottles of mineral water in his hands. He handed one to Shen Chuxin, “Don’t worry, Little Shen. After boiling the water, he drank half a bottle, and glanced at Shen Yuxin’s frowning face from the corner of his eyes.
Although Shen Chuxin was wary of him, but in front of this bottled mineral water, he kept his heart and drank a few mouthfuls. He thanked him again, and in exchange, Lu Jinhai said something complicated, “What’s there to be polite between us!”
When Shen Chuxin looked at him, she added, “After all, we’re neighbors!”
Someone came to their side and whispered into Lu Jinhai’s ear, saying a few words to him. Then, he gave Shen Chu a knowing smile, turning around and gesturing for them to come. Take them to the box upstairs.
Shen Chuxin knitted her brows, quietly throwing the water in her hand into a corner when she went up.
But the woman’s intuition told her that when Lu Jinhai turned around, his smile was too strange. His mind went blank, they had already been brought by the waiter to a dark private room.
The waiter opened the door and went downstairs.
Shen Yuxin looked at the quiet private room. In the darkness, it was as if there was a long-dormant wild beast. She cautiously stepped out the door and was pulled into the arms of others!
Lu Jinhai laughed right next to her ear, “Little Shen …” You really make me read it very closely! ”
Shen Yue felt dizzy, trying to escape from this predicament. She tried her best to make her voice sound normal, “Mr Lu, thank you very much.” Could I trouble you to get me a glass of water? I’m still thirsty. ” She pretended to be ignorant and oblivious. When she looked back, the brilliance in her eyes was so bright that it would cause one’s heart to pound wildly.
Lu Jinhai sized her up and was sure that she was in a completely unfathomable way. He even thought that her usual appearance was her nature. So he had misunderstood her, she had never been that cautious towards him.
He kept his hand on Shen Yuxin’s, returning to his previous demeanor and helped her up to the sofa inside. There were only a few lights on, but no water on the floor after looking around. Therefore, he turned his head back and smiled at Shen Yuxin, saying: “Then wait for me for a while, I’ll go get you some water.”
After making sure that he really went downstairs, Shen Chu used up all of his energy and shakily ran outside. She was already unable to protect herself, but she did not forget why she was here. She unsteadily called her uncle, and when someone picked up, she could faintly hear someone giving her a feed, and before she could figure out who it was, she shouted, “Uncle! Fifth floor of the Dark Night, come here quickly! ”
The phone call had nearly drained her. Her head was growing heavy and her steps were weak as if she were stepping on cotton. Seeing Lu Jinhai, who went downstairs to help her find water, walking up the stairs, Shen Chu was a little flustered as he rushed into a private room.
The door closed automatically.
A hazy red color entered his eyes, whether the light was red or other was red. Shen Chuxin could no longer distinguish, vaguely hearing a weak voice saying, “Shen, Sis.”
Shen Yuxin strongly shook her head, her eyes becoming redder as if she was shrouded in a layer of fog. Nothing inside could be seen clearly.
But she was sure that she wasn’t hallucinating just now, that someone was actually calling her Big Sister Shen. It was precisely Xiaosu’s voice. Although it was very different from her usual voice, she was certain that she had not misheard it.
