Chapter 28

Her school would begin after a week. If she didn’t deal with that matter, she would have to deal with it after school starts. It would be more troublesome at that time. It was better to go directly at the moment.so she could let Xiao Mei escape the fire pit early.

Grandma Zhang was surprised for a moment, “What do you want to do in Shanghai?”

Su Meng wasn’t actually very good at lying, but she had to lie, “I used to have a good friend who was adopted by a ‘good-hearted man’, in Shanghai. She is sick now and I want to see her.”

Grandma Zhang didn’t suspect her, nor was she curious about where Su Meng got the news. She just asked, “Is it serious?”

Su Meng nodded heavily, “Very serious.” That middle – aged man, no matter how late he got after partying at night, he would drink again when he got home. He drank beer, red and white wine. After he drinks, he would go crazy with his belt. It was indeed serious. Xiao Mei was only twelve years old that year, and she was weak. Su Meng could hardly imagine what she was doing.

Grandma Zhang was very open-minded, “Then you should go and see. How about I go with you?”

Su Meng hesitated for a moment, but after that she shook her head. Grandma Zhang’s health wasn’t good. She was badly injured when she went to Sichuan before. Her body hadn’t fully recovered, and she needed to take sleeping pills at night to barely fall asleep.

Su Meng gently leaned her head on Grandma Zhang’s shoulder, “Grandma, if I…” Su Meng wanted to ask if she would help her if she gets into any trouble. But in an instant, she figured it out whether she should ask or not, the old couple Ling wouldn’t watch her get into trouble. They would definitely be on her side. she was on the side of justice.

Grandma Zhang asked, “What if you?” Su Meng smiled softly and felt relieved, “It’s nothing, grandma. I’ll go there for two days. After seeing her, I’ll be back right away.”

“Okay. Then you must be safe on your way, and don’t talk to strangers.”

“Okay, grandma.”

Because the trip was only two days, Su Meng’s luggage was very light. As she sorted her things in the evening, Grandma Zhang helped her. That made Su Meng feel the warmth of home again. Su Meng planned to go to Shanghai by train. She booked a ticket for 7 o’clock the next morning, so she got up at 5 o’clock in the morning. After breakfast, Su Meng bid farewell to the old couple Ling and walked out alone from the door. The driver, Lao Zhang, was already waiting at the gate of the colony. He would take her directly to the railway station, so she only needed to walk to the gate. Just a few steps away from her house, a slightly hoarse voice called her from not far, “Hey!”

“This voice…” Su Meng subconsciously looked in the direction of the sound.

A tall and slender figure stood under the shade of a tree not far away. Sunlight passed through the dense branches, falling on him little by little, which gave him a somewhat hazy feel.

He wore a black cap with the brim of the hat pressed low. His hands in his trouser pockets, with his back against the tree trunk. After he saw her turn back, he took a step forward and walked slowly towards her.

The morning light was faint, and the outstanding face under the hat became more handsome in the dim light. After she saw his face, Su Meng said in surprise, “Jiang Tingzhou? Why are you doing here early in the morning? “

Jiang Tingzhou’s hat and shoulders were covered with wet drops of dew. His face was slightly pale, his eyebrows were tired, and she didn’t know how long he had been outside. Jiang Tingzhou didn’t answer. He took off his hat casually, and his handsome face was exposed to the morning sun. His hair was a little messy, and his black studs refracted the sun’s rays.

Black hair, black eyes and black earrings made him look a bit dangerous. He lowered his head slightly, his eyes fell on Su Meng;s bag, “Where are you going?”
