章 26: You Know Quite a Few People
編集者: Dragon Boat Translation
Whenever she did not get full marks in an exam, she would be scolded by her Second Aunt. She would never give her face in front of her relatives and friends.
When she was in middle school, she started to demand that she get first place in the school. She still remembered that once, when her cousin got second place in the school, her Second Aunt actually went to school to scold her and caused a scene.
Although she had always been envious of her cousin's good grades, she did not want to become her cousin and grow up in such an environment.
At the thought of this, she touched her cousin's face in understanding. "It's good to leave. Maybe you can live a better life in a different place."
Qian Fangfang looked at her gratefully. Having someone to support her made her feel much better.
The two of them returned to the apartment. Qian Duoduo wanted to go up with her sister, but Qian Fangfang didn't know about her situation. She said, "Sis, you don't have to send me up. It's getting late. Go back and rest quickly. You still have to work tomorrow."
Qian Duoduo was stunned.
Qian Fangfang didn't know what had happened in her dormitory. She had planned to go to Chen Shu's side to ask for help, so she didn't say anything. However, she had parted ways with Chen Shu in the dining room on bad terms. She had planned to stay in the apartment for the night, but now…
She could tell that Qian Fangfang was under a lot of pressure. If she told her that she had no place to stay for the time being, it would probably increase the burden on her heart.
Qian Duoduo stopped in her tracks.
"Alright, you stay at home alone."
After leaving the apartment, Qian Duoduo paced back and forth on the road for a long time. After thinking about it, she finally chose to go to Chen Shu.
Standing at the door of Chen Shu's house, Qian Duoduo fumbled for the key in her bag, but she couldn't find it after searching for a long time.
"Did I forget to bring it?"
Qian Duoduo took a deep breath and knocked on the door.
She knocked several times, but no one opened the door.
It seemed that Chen Shu hadn't returned yet?
Qian Duoduo had no choice but to take out her phone and look for Chen Shu's contact number. She wanted to call him, but when she thought of what happened in the restaurant, she hesitated.
Actually, thinking about it, it was normal for Chen Shu to be angry at that time. She was the one who splashed orange juice on his face first. If she was in his shoes, she would also be angry.
Qian Duoduo was hesitating when she suddenly heard a ding sound.
Chen Shu walked out of the elevator with a cold face.
Qian Duoduo only took a glance and felt an inexplicable pressure in her heart.
She felt that Chen Shu was a little scary.
Thinking that she was going to stay at his place temporarily, Qian Duoduo quickly greeted him.
"What a coincidence. You just came back too. I forgot to bring my keys."
Chen Shu didn't even look at her. He walked past her, stood in front of the door, and reached into his pocket to take the keys.
After searching for a while, he realized that his pocket was empty. The key was gone!
"Did you forget to bring your keys?" asked Qian Duoduo. "Then let's call it a lockpicking company."
"I don't know anyone who can pick locks."
"I know one! I happen to have the contact information of a Sunlight Lock employee."
"You know a lot of people." Chen Shu glanced at her with a faint smile.
"Why do you sound a little sarcastic?" Qian Duoduo felt that the atmosphere was a little strange and wanted to say something to ease the atmosphere.
Unexpectedly, Chen Shu's face turned even colder.
At this moment, the scene he saw on the roadside not long ago appeared in his mind.
A sense of frustration gradually rose from the bottom of his heart.
No matter what, they had already registered their marriage, but this woman could still hug another man in public.
She had never thought about whether this was appropriate or not.
Qian Duoduo didn't know what was on Chen Shu's mind at the moment. Seeing that Chen Shu didn't say anything, she took out her phone and called the employee at Sunshine Lock.
The lock was an anti-theft lock. To open it, they needed some tools. The person on the other end of the phone said that he had to go to the company to get some tools and would arrive later.
After hanging up the phone, Qian Duoduo thought that the person from Sunlight Lock wouldn't arrive so soon. She didn't want to stare at Chen Shu here, so she wanted to go downstairs to buy some food.
Although she was quite full from dinner, she felt like she could still eat some snacks.
"Um, help me look after my bag. I'll go down and buy some snacks."
Qian Duoduo unzipped her bag and took out her hand. Without even zipping it back, she stuffed the bag into Chen Shu's arms.
The reason why she left her bag behind was in case she was not there when the door was unlocked. She was afraid that this guy would directly lock her outside the door and not let her in.
Leaving the bag, at least she could use the bag as an excuse to get Chen Shu to open the door.
Therefore, Qian Duoduo had thought a lot.
