Chapter 55 New Neighbor (4)

When I woke up again, it was dusk.

Huangfusheng was sitting next to me watching TV, thankfully my head was not resting on his lap this time, but was sleeping soundly on the cushion of the sofa.

Stretching, I asked Huangfu Sheng: "What time is it?"

He glanced at the wall clock on the wall: "It's almost 7 o'clock in the evening."

I didn't expect that my jet lag would be reversed by this sleep. I got up and folded the quilt, thinking that he would have no excuse not to lend me money today.Just as I was about to ask him, I heard Huangfu's voice say to me first: "By the way, Yueyue, Shen Yuan came to my place to look for you just now."

I said "Oh", then woke up, and asked him with wide eyes: "Who are you talking about...who is coming to me?"

Huangfu said casually: "Shen Yuan, it's that kid next door. I'm very relieved that you forgot about him so quickly."

I immediately thought that he was joking with me again, so I decided not to be easily fooled by him. Shen Yuan was on a business trip abroad and would not return home until two days later, how could he appear here at this time.

I chuckled: "Don't pretend, it's fine if you don't want to lend me the money. At worst, I'll find a way by myself. Goodbye."

I turned around and opened the door of Huangfusheng Villa smartly, and walked out without looking back.Not long after he walked out, he saw his Jaguar parked in front of Shen Yuan's villa next door.

I was anxious, wondering if Shen Yuan really came back early as Huangfusheng said, and even came to look for me in Huangfusheng's villa?I quickened my pace and walked towards Shen Yuan's villa, knocking on the door anxiously.

After a while, the door was opened from the inside.

Shen Yuan's familiar handsome face appeared in front of my eyes. His face was extremely heavy. Seeing me, he snorted coldly and asked, "Are you awake?"

I nodded: "I forgot to bring the key before, so..."

He interrupted me: "You don't have to explain to me." Then he turned and walked into the house, I followed behind him, feeling extremely anxious for a moment, I was afraid that Shen Yuan might misunderstand me, even though he refused to listen to my explanation , but I can't help but defend myself.

I ran to the coffee table in the living room to get my key, shook it in front of him and said, "I really forgot to take the key."

Unexpectedly, he didn't want to look at me any more, so he started fiddling with the tablet computer while sitting on the sofa.

I got closer, and said cautiously, "Mr. A Sheng saw that I had nowhere to go, so he took me in temporarily."

He frowned impatiently, and repeated my words: "Ah Sheng? You two have gotten very close these days."

I said, "No..." He suddenly raised his head, his face was very close to mine, and I could see his long eyelashes close at hand.My heart was pounding, and I heard Shen Yuan say to me coldly: "Since Huangfusheng is willing to take you in, you might as well move to live with him, so as to give me peace."

I didn't know how to explain it, when Shen Yuan suddenly snatched my keychain and took off the key of the villa gate.Then he said lightly to me: "Miss Lin, this time there is really no end date."

No matter how thick-skinned I am, facing Shen Yuan's words "there will be no future", I will be hurt badly.My heart was empty, I felt as if a large piece of my heart was suddenly missing, my eyes turned red, I turned around and ran upstairs and started to pack my luggage.

In the middle of the journey, I tried hard to control my tears from falling. After hastily packed my things, I dragged the box downstairs.Shen Yuan was still sitting on the sofa, watching the news on the tablet without changing his expression.

I opened the door, looked back at him for the last time, and said aggrievedly: "Shen Yuan, you can't take all your anger on Huangfusheng and on me just because you failed to acquire the Ma family."

Then I closed the door heavily, and from now on in my world, maybe he will never appear again.

Thinking of this, tears that I have held back for a long time burst out.I dragged my luggage out of the gate of the community, and kept walking, aimlessly.As night fell, the sky became dark, and the street lamps on the street lit up, emitting a dim light.

I think of the acquaintance with him five years ago, the reunion in the early autumn five years later, the arrest of Yin Shanqi in Fu Shi together, and the reckless rescue of me during Xi Feng Dynasty.I think of the fireworks he set off for me on New Year's Eve, think of his care when he mistakenly thought I was sick, and think of how unreasonably he drove me out of the villa just now.

I didn't know how long I walked like this. I looked up and saw a bright moon hanging high in the sky, with stars dotted around it.

Suddenly an old voice beside me said to me: "Ahem, little girl, are you lost?"

With the dim light, I saw an old lady about 70 years old standing beside me, looking at me kindly.Perhaps because she noticed the tears on my face, she stretched out her old hand to wipe it for me with a loving face.

My heart warmed up, and I said softly, "I'm fine, mother-in-law, why are you still not home so late?"

She pulled out a smile, looking at the incomparable bitterness, she said: "Family? I don't have a family. After the old man leaves, my children will not want me anymore."

I went to help her arm, and said comfortingly: "Grandma, don't be sad, be careful that you will be angry."

She patted my hand and said softly: "Hey, you treat me better than my children. Girl, if you don't have a place to go, you can go to my house to rest for a while. It's not far in front. I live alone , I also want to find someone to chat with."

I really had nowhere to go, and at that time the old lady and I also felt that we were the same people who had fallen into the world, so I nodded and replied: "Okay."

The old woman's home is in an old-fashioned private house on the side of the road. The furniture inside is old and simple. She didn't even use electric lights, but lit a kerosene lamp on the table.

She bent down and wiped a stool with her hands, beckoning me to sit down.I looked at the surrounding environment, it seems that the life of this old man living alone is really frugal.

Plastic bottles were piled up in the corners of the house, and there were unfinished leftovers on the simple stove.

I asked her, "Mother-in-law, aren't your children in this city?"

She shook her head, her wrinkled face twitched, as if touching her heart.After a pause, she said, "I'm already so prosperous, I don't think it's useful to be old."

As soon as I heard it, I felt angry. If they are all poor people and cannot afford the living expenses of the elderly, there is a reason. But since they are all rich, why would they treat their old mother like this.

I really couldn't figure it out, so I suggested angrily: "Then you can go to court and sue them."

The old woman waved her hand: "Forget it, I am also a person who is counting the days to survive, so why bother to trouble my children and grandchildren. I don't know if people will be reunited with their relatives in the underworld after death. My only wish now is if It would be nice to go back to the time when my old man and I just met 50 years ago, and take another look at our youthful appearance."
