It was already in the afternoon when I arrived in Shanghai. Su Meng and Jiang Tingzhou didn't eat anything on the high-speed rail, so after the two got off the high-speed rail, they first found a relatively clean shop near the station and prepared to eat something first.
Although it is not the time when lobsters are on the market, this season, there are still several flavors of crayfish available in the restaurant. Jiang Tingzhou ordered a spicy crayfish. After ordering, he handed the menu to Su Meng, "Look, think What to order?"
Su Meng ordered a fried vermicelli, a small vegetable, and a fried screw. If two people eat, the four dishes are almost the same, and there are also meat and vegetables. After handing the menu to the waiter, Su Meng took out his mobile phone and called the person in charge of adoption in Sichuan.
Although she knew the home address and home phone number of the middle-aged couple, in fact, she shouldn't know this information. Therefore, in order not to reveal any flaws, it is a necessary process to call and ask the other party's contact information.
After hanging up the phone and pretending to record what was recorded, Su Meng discovered that Jiang Tingzhou was looking at her thoughtfully.
Su Meng thought that there was a flaw in herself, so she was taken aback, and stammered and asked him, "You look at me like this...what are you doing?"
Jiang Tingzhou propped his chin with one hand, and patted rhythmically with one hand on the table, "Kid, you are very courageous." He didn't even know any information, so he dared to come to Shanghai all the way from Beijing alone. ? Isn't she afraid of encountering some bad guys and abducting her?
After all, she looked like a bully.
Su Meng breathed a sigh of relief when she heard that, she thought Jiang Tingzhou would say something.
She carefully cleaned all the dishes and chopsticks on the table with tea, and then seriously replied, "Yes." As a person, she has lived without any dispute in her previous life. Quietly close the door and live your own little life, rarely intervene in other people's affairs, so making this decision is indeed different from the previous boldness.
After being reborn, she has been working hard to get better. Otherwise, I'm sorry for such a precious opportunity to rebirth, and the old couple who really treated her.
Seeing Su Meng and Jiang Tingzhou who looked downright and said yes seriously, seemingly well-behaved, Jiang Tingzhou curled his lips, and he stretched out his hand and gently squeezed her fingertips.
Her fingertips were soft and warm, and there was a faint fragrance of jasmine in the air from time to time.
Jiang Tingzhou raised her eyebrows, then pinched her fingertips, "Why is it so soft?"
Su Meng became angry from embarrassment, "Jiang Tingzhou!"
At this time, the store happened to put the spicy crayfish on the table, and the strong fragrance came, which made people move their index fingers.
Su Meng took advantage of Jiang Tingzhou's dazed effort and hurriedly drew her finger from his hand.
The spicy crayfish in front of me has ample weight, a large pot, and the color, fragrance, and taste.
In fact, Su Meng has never eaten spicy food, nor has she eaten crayfish. Smelling the tempting fragrance in the air, she is actually a little moved. But she is not very spicy, so she is still a little hesitant to try the taste.
At this time, Jiang Tingzhou had already eaten three crayfish. He raised his eyes and glanced at Su Meng who was hesitant. He peeled a crayfish very quickly, and put it directly into her bowl, "Eat. ,tasty."
More than six hours have passed since breakfast, and Su Meng happened to be hungry at this time. Looking at the crayfish in the bowl, she still did not withstand the temptation of the fragrance and took a bite.
Then the next second after the crayfish's entrance, her whole body was numb with the tip of her spicy tongue, and the whole figure seemed to be lit, so spicy that she almost made people jump.
Tears were instantly irritated and floated in the eyes.
Her eyes were red, her eyelashes were stained with tears, and her nose hidden under the mask had also turned red. Looks like a pitiful look.
"It's so spicy!" Su Meng's voice was soft and complaining, but she was stunned, as if she was acting like a baby anytime and anywhere.
Seeing her pitiful look, Jiang Tingzhou hurriedly reached out and handed her a glass of boiled water at a suitable temperature, "Hurry up and drink some water."
Su Meng's misty eyes and her eyelashes trembled lightly. She reached out to take the water glass from Jiang Tingzhou, and drank several sips of water under the open cover.
After drinking a full glass of water, Su Meng felt that her boiling tongue had recovered a bit. She fanned herself with her hand, trying to cool her hot face.
After taking a bite of spicy crayfish, she felt that she was on fire.
She did not eat spicy food very much before, but now her reaction after eating spicy food is too intense, right?
Jiang Tingzhou said funnyly, "The kid is so squeamish."
Su Meng raised her eyes and glared at him.
At this moment, the ends of her eyes are still red, and there is a bit of water vapor in the bottom of her eyes, so even if she looks staring, she looks a little bit irritable.
Jiang Tingzhou hooked her lips and gave her a chopsticks. "The kids should eat more vegetables." As for the crayfish, she can only smell it obediently.
After the two of them had lunch, Su Meng was about to find Xiaomei.
After getting on the taxi, Su Meng fell into thought after reporting the address he was going to.
That place can be said to be her lifelong nightmare. If possible, she hopes that she will never step into it again. But fate is sometimes so magical, going around around, and now, instead, she has taken the initiative to go there.
But destiny sometimes changes. Just like now, her destiny has changed drastically from before. Therefore, she also hopes that Xiaomei's destiny can be changed.
After arriving at the villa area where the couple was, Su Meng called the family's home number at the gate of the community.
The phone was picked up after a while, and what came from the phone was a slightly faint female voice, "Hey, who can I call?"
Su Meng immediately recognized that this was the voice of the hostess.
In fact, this is just a poor, pathetic and cowardly woman. Her first child was aborted due to domestic violence. At that time, she had been pregnant for more than seven months. The abortion caused great harm to her body, and it took a long time for her to recover. After that, she suffered from habitual miscarriage and had no children until middle age. She has no job, is a full-time housewife, and has a small social circle. Because of her years of domestic violence, she suffers from severe depression and tends to commit suicide at any time.
This is a deformed and terrifying family.
Normal people will become abnormal if they stay in this environment for a long time.
Su Meng was only fortunate that she successfully escaped from this environment in her previous life. Otherwise, she would not be where she is now.
After hearing this familiar voice, Su Meng tried to calm down and said, "I'm looking for Xiaomei."
The woman let out a surprise, "Who are you?"
"I am Xiaomei's former good partner. I know she wants to meet her after being adopted by you."
When the woman heard the words, her voice increased a little unconsciously, "She's not here now!" After she said, the woman hung up the phone neatly.
After being hung up, Su Meng's heart couldn't help but sink a little bit.
The woman's reaction was a bit wrong.
Su Meng walked to the communication room, tried to overcome the fear of facing strangers, and asked the security guard inside softly, "I have a friend living in it, can I go in?"
After the security guard heard this soft and sweet voice, his attitude was quite friendly, "Which friend is it?"
Su Meng reported the name of the male head of household.
The security guard shook his head and said with a smile, "There is indeed this person in the community, but it's still not possible. Because there are clear regulations in the community that you can't go in casually if you haven't seen it, but you can go in with him later. I will return to the community at 8 or 9 in the evening."
Su Meng was a little frustrated.
All she wants is to take Xiaomei away when the host is away.
Otherwise, who knows what will happen to a violent male host.
Su Meng sighed. Just when she was thinking about other ways, a clean and slender hand suddenly stretched out beside her.
At this moment, she was holding a document that she had seen twice before.
A lazy low voice sounded timely, "Look clearly what this is."
After the security guard saw the arrogant document in front of him, he carefully read the military rank on it twice, showing an expression of surprise on his face, "This...you...you..."
Jiang Tingzhou's expression was indifferent, too lazy to listen to his nonsense, his cynical face was a little impatient, "So now, can I go in?"
