After Shen Jiaming finished explaining, Sheng Jiuzhou continued to look at him weirdly, with suspicion in his pitch-black eyes, as if he did not understand the meaning of his words.

He also felt that he had been rather nervous recently, so he could only force a smile. The other matters were not easy to explain. While driving to eat, he chose a restaurant that he frequented. The meat dishes here were not bad, and the few brothers from Fatty were all willing to eat here. After Qin Feifei got to know him, he also liked the dishes here. He thought, for a girl like Sheng Jiuzhou who loved to eat meat, she would also like this place quite a lot right?

After parking the car, he brought Sheng Jiuzhou out of the car, and just as he walked to the entrance of the restaurant, he met You Lilin head on.

You Lilin carried a few takeout boxes in his hands. He must have specifically come to this restaurant to buy takeout. When he saw Shen Jiaming, he looked a little embarrassed and called out, "Brother Shen."

In the past, Shen Jiaming treated You Lilin as a brother, but now, he was in no mood to be polite with him.

You Lilin saw that Shen Jiaming was cold, he could not find anything to say, "Brother Shen also came to this place to eat? This dish tastes pretty good. Ever since Fei Fei became pregnant, I only like to eat at this restaurant. I'm here to order takeaway food for Fei Fei. Brother Shen came here alone? "

While he was talking, he glanced behind Shen Jiaming and saw a little girl wearing a new dress. She looked like a little princess, but she looked completely naive and seemed to be unaware of the world's affairs. He hastily asked, "Brother Shen brought this young lady here for dinner? "Hurry, hurry, hurry. I'll get the boss here to leave a room for you guys."

"No need." Shen Jiaming coldly rejected him. Without saying anything, he directly brought Sheng Jiuzhou into the restaurant.

He was a regular customer of this restaurant. Back then, You Lilin and the others were all brought here by him, yet You Lilin actually had the nerve to act like he knew the boss very well in front of him? How come he didn't realise that You Lilin was like that in the past? Only such a person could coax his girlfriend into bed when his bro's life was uncertain and his corpse was not yet cold.

The moment he thought about Qin Feifei and You Lilin, Shen Jiaming's mood immediately dropped. He said he didn't mind, but that was a lie. He did mind it, and he did mind it so much.

Sheng Jiuzhou stood right in front of him. She was shorter than him, so she could only raise her head to look at him. As if sensing his downcast expression, she pointed to the French windows in the restaurant.

Shen Jiaming followed Sheng Jiuzhou's finger and looked outside through the huge window. He only saw You Lilin carrying a take-out lunch box and walking towards the place where he had parked the car, with Fatty following behind him.

Shen Jiaming unhappily frowned and thought to himself, "This Fatty was actually here with You Lilin? He actually didn't greet me, and had instead been following You Lilin? "

Sheng Jiuzhou retracted his hand, and slowly said the word "retribution". He then continued to look at her, and continued to play with the small skirt on her body.

Seeing the Fatty following You Lilin and even getting on the carriage with You Lilin, Shen Jiaming's heart became complicated. He also knew that You Lilin was their mutual friend, but … With regards to the matter between You Lilin and the Fatty, he still found it hard to believe. He never thought that his best bro, the Fatty, would actually follow You Lilin out on his back.

While he was still thinking, the food had already been served. Just like before, Sheng Jiuzhou was extremely interested in the meat dishes, and almost didn't even touch a single piece of the vegetables. Shen Jiaming helped her eat more, allowing her to eat more than enough.

Because of Sheng Jiuzhou's greedy little appearance, Shen Jiaming's depressed mood had improved quite a bit. He could not help but say: "Since you like eating meat so much, why did you offend Er Feng and go into the deep mountains and forests' Tomb Hole by yourself? There's nothing there but coffins. Where are you going to eat meat? "

Sheng Jiuzhou was still chewing on the meat, and he slowly raised his head. His eyes were clear as he looked at Shen Jiaming.

Shen Jiaming was holding onto a pair of chopsticks, and when he saw her raise her head, he raised it and looked at her. Then, he smiled at her with goodwill.

After a long while, Shen Jiaming still thought that she wouldn't answer, but she swallowed the meat in her mouth, and actually replied: "There's no meat in the Tomb Hole."

When she said this, she shook her head, serious and serious, like a schoolboy answering a teacher's question.

Shen Jiaming realized, the longer he spent time with Sheng Jiuzhou, the more he found her interesting. She was just a little girl, her mind filled with whimsical thoughts.

The atmosphere during their meal was very good, so Shen Jiaming started to ask about Sheng Jiuzhou's matters in an orderly and kind manner. He asked her for her name before, and she said that it was Sheng Jiuzhou. After that, he asked for her real name, age, parents' name, and home address at the police station.

Shen Jiaming felt that maybe Sheng Jiuzhou, who had eaten his fill, was willing to say it, so he chose a question that she could easily answer and asked her, "Ah Jiu, how old are you this year?"

Sheng Jiuzhou raised his eyes, his expression was at a loss, and he pondered for a long time. Just when Shen Jiaming thought that he wouldn't be able to ask her about it today, she slowly said: "Elder sister said that I am already twenty years old, and am a big girl."

"Elder sister? Twenty? " Shen Jiaming was a little surprised, he never thought that this little girl Sheng Jiuzhou was actually already an adult. He thought that she was a high school student or a high school student, and thought that she had rebelled, to actually do such a bizarre thing. If she hadn't stuck close to him while he was at the police station and refused to tell the police about her situation, he wouldn't have relented and taken her home as her temporary guardian.

He chuckled twice, and then said somewhat embarrassedly, "You're already over twenty years old. I thought you were underage, so I brought you back …"

After saying all this, Shen Jiaming was suddenly stunned. He felt that something was strange. He was just a manager of a company. Although he had some money, he was definitely not rich. Even if he met a lost girl like Sheng Jiuzhou, and was unable to find her family members for the time being, the police would not allow him to be her temporary guardian. Furthermore, he was an unmarried man.

The more Shen Jiaming thought about it, the more nervous he became, and cold sweat uncontrollably emerged from his forehead. He suddenly realized that there seemed to be a lot of things that were not within the scope of logic that he could understand. It seemed to be strange, not only illegal, but also illogical.

For example, the man they met on the street just now. He was running towards him and wanted to save him, but in the blink of an eye, that person disappeared.

Also, Sheng Jiuzhou … He, Shen Jiaming, had never been a warmhearted person. He had always been on guard, so why would he willingly take care of a little girl he had just met, and even go against some procedures, and bring her home?
