It was already afternoon when we arrived in Shanghai. Su Meng and Jiang Tingzhou didn't eat anything on the high-speed train, so after they got off the high-speed train, they first found a relatively clean shop near the station to eat something first.
Although it is not the season for lobsters to be on the market, during 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 at it, what do you think?" What to order?”
Su Meng ordered a fried vermicelli, a small green vegetable, and a fried screw. If two people eat it, four dishes are almost enough, and both meat and vegetables are included. After handing the menu to the waiter, Su Meng took out her mobile phone and made a call to the person in charge of adoption matters in Sichuan.
Although she knew the home address and home phone number of the middle-aged couple, in fact, she was not supposed to know this information. Therefore, in order not to reveal any flaws, calling and asking for the other party's contact information is a necessary process.
After hanging up the phone and pretending to record what should be recorded, Su Meng realized that Jiang Tingzhou was looking at her thoughtfully.
Su Meng thought she had exposed a flaw somewhere, so she was startled and asked him stammeringly, "What are you looking at me like...what are you doing?"
Jiang Tingzhou held his chin with one hand and tapped the table rhythmically with the other, "Kid, you are very brave." You actually dared to come all the way from Beijing to Shanghai alone without knowing any information. ? Isn't she afraid that some bad guys will abduct her
After all, she looks like someone who is easy to bully.
Su Meng breathed a sigh of relief when she heard this. She thought Jiang Tingzhou would say something.
She carefully washed all the dishes and chopsticks on the table with tea, and then replied seriously, "Yes." She was a person who had always lived a life of peace and quiet in her previous life. I quietly close the door and live my own life, rarely interfering in other people's affairs, so making this decision is indeed different from the previous boldness.
After returning from rebirth, she has actually been working hard to get better. Otherwise, she would be sorry for such a precious opportunity to be reborn, and for Mrs. Ling who truly treats her.
Seeing Su Meng who lowered her eyes and said yes seriously, looking very well-behaved, Jiang Tingzhou curled his lips, couldn't hold it back, reached out and gently pinched her fingertips.
Her fingertips were soft, with a touch of body temperature, and the faint scent of jasmine could be heard from time to time in the air.
Jiang Tingzhou raised his eyebrows and pinched her fingertips again, "Why are they so soft?"
Su Meng became angry from embarrassment, "Jiang Tingzhou!"
At this time, the store happened to bring spicy crayfish to the table, and the rich aroma could not help but make people lick their fingers.
Su Meng took advantage of Jiang Tingzhou's daze and quickly pulled out her fingers from his hand.
The spicy crayfish in front of me is very generous, enough to fill a large basin, and is full of color, flavor and flavor.
In fact, Su Meng had never eaten spicy food, nor had she eaten crayfish very much. Smelling the alluring fragrance in the air, she was actually a little moved. But she is not very good at spicy food, so she was 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 the hesitant Su Meng. He peeled off one crayfish very quickly and put it directly into her bowl. "Eat it." ,tasty."
More than six hours had passed since breakfast, and Su Meng happened to be hungry at this time. She looked at the crayfish in the bowl, but she still couldn't resist the temptation of the smell, so she picked it up and took a bite.
Then the next second after the crayfish entered her mouth, her whole body was numbed by the spicy taste of her tongue, and her whole body seemed to be on fire. It was so spicy that it almost made people jump.
Tears instantly appeared in his eyes due to stimulation.
Her eyes were red, her eyelashes were stained with tears, and her nose and mouth hidden under the mask had also turned red. He looked pitiful.
"So spicy!" Su Meng's voice was soft and soft. It was obviously a complaint, but it sounded coquettish, as if she was acting coquettishly anytime and anywhere.
Seeing her pitiful look, Jiang Tingzhou hurriedly reached out and handed her a glass of boiled water at a suitable temperature, "Drink some water quickly."
Su Meng's eyes were misty and her eyelashes were trembling slightly. She reached out to take the water glass from Jiang Tingzhou's hand, opened her mask and drank several sips of water.
After drinking a whole glass of water, Su Meng felt that her boiling tongue had recovered a little. She fanned herself with her hands, trying to cool down her ever-heating face.
After taking a bite of spicy crayfish, she felt like her whole body was on fire.
It’s true that she couldn’t eat spicy food very much before, but now her reaction after eating spicy food is too intense, right
Jiang Tingzhou said funny, "The kid is so squeamish."
Su Meng raised her eyes and glared at him.
At this moment, the ends of her eyes were still a little red, and there was a bit of moisture in her eyes, so even when she stared, she looked a bit coquettish.
Jiang Tingzhou curled his lips and gave her a chopstick of green vegetables, "Children should eat more vegetables." As for the crayfish, she could only smell them.
After the two of them finished lunch, Su Meng was ready to go find Xiaomei.
After getting into the taxi, Su Meng reported the address where she was going and fell into deep thought.
That place could be said to be her lifelong nightmare. If possible, she hoped she would never step foot there again. But fate is so magical sometimes, and it goes round and round, but now, she took the initiative to go there.
But fate sometimes changes. Just like now, her fate has undergone earth-shaking changes from before. Therefore, she also hopes that Xiaomei's destiny will change for the better.
After arriving at the villa area where the couple lived, Su Meng called the family's home phone number at the gate of the community.
It took a while for the phone to be picked up, and a faint female voice came from the phone, "Hey, who are you looking for?"
Su Meng immediately recognized the voice of the hostess of that household.
In fact, this is just a pitiful, sad and cowardly woman. Her first child was miscarried due to domestic violence. She had been pregnant for more than seven months at that time. The miscarriage was very harmful to her body, and it took her a long time to recover. After that, she suffered from habitual miscarriages 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 has the tendency 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 grateful that she had successfully escaped from this environment in her previous life. Otherwise, she wouldn't be what she is today.
After Su Meng heard this familiar voice, she tried to calm down and said, "I'm looking for Xiaomei."
The woman let out a confused sound, "Who are you?"
"I am Xiaomei's former good friend. I wanted to come and meet her after I knew she was adopted by you."
The woman's voice unconsciously increased when she heard the words, "She's not here now!" After saying that, the woman simply hung up the phone.
After hanging up the phone, Su Meng's heart couldn't help but sink a little bit.
There was something wrong with the woman's reaction.
Su Meng walked to the communication room, tried hard to overcome the fear of facing strangers, and asked the security guard inside softly, "I have a friend living there, 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 the 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 allowed. Because there are clear regulations in the community that strangers you haven't seen before can't just enter. But you can go in with him later. He usually I'll go back to the community at about 1 o'clock in the evening."
Su Meng was a little frustrated.
What she wants is to take Xiaomei away when the male master is away.
Otherwise, who knows what the violent male protagonist will do next.
Su Meng sighed, and just when she was about to think of another way, a clean and slender hand suddenly stretched out from beside her.
At this moment, this hand also held a certificate that she had seen twice before.
A lazy, deep voice sounded at the right time, "See clearly what this is."
After the security guard saw the impressive ID in front of him, he carefully read the military rank on it twice, with an extremely surprised expression on his face, "This... you... you..."
Jiang Tingzhou's expression was indifferent, too lazy to listen to his nonsense. There was a bit of impatience on his cynical face, "Now, can we go in?"
