Chapter 175: Auntie Shu Qing
Shen You came to the place she had agreed to meet with Huo Xiao. However, Huo Xiao was not there.
Feeling a little irritated, Shen You picked up the phone and dialed Huo Xiao’s number.
The phone rang for a while, but no one picked up.
Shen You was getting even more impatient. Just as she was about to call him again, she saw Huo Xiao walking over from afar.
“Long time no see.” Huo Xiao smiled at Shen You.
Shen You tried hard to control her temper. “It’s just two days!”
Huo Xiao shook his head and said, “You’re not in a good mood today.”
Shen You tried hard to calm down the anger that surged in her heart and said, “No, it’s just that some things are annoying.”
Huo Xiao gave Shen You an unfathomable look and said, “I have a secret. You might want to know.”
Shen You turned her head to look at Huo Xiao. “What secret?”
Huo Xiao smiled. “Let’s go. We’ll talk when we get in the car!”
Shen You was a little confused, but she still followed Huo Xiao and left.
When they came to a sports car, Shen You was surprised to see there was no driver!
“This… You will drive, or me?” Shen You looked at the car in front of her. “I don’t have a driving license!”
Huo Xiao patted his chest. “I’m driving! I already have my driving license!”
Shen You could not help but comment, “So old!”
Huo Xiao pretended not to hear her and opened the car door for Shen You.
The two of them got into the car. They then traveled from the city to a small house in the suburbs.
This house was built with bamboo. It was small and exquisite.
This place did not look inhabited. It was more like a temporary rest place for tourists.
Huo Xiao took out some food and drinks from the car and went to the front of the small house with Shen You.
There were two large words in front of the house. The words ‘Bamboo Garden’ were the name of the house.
“It really lives up to its name!” Shen You could not help but sigh.
The two of them walked into the house and saw the bamboo garden and the bamboo bridge. It seemed to be a completely different world from the outside world.
Shen You took a deep breath. It seemed that she could feel the fresh smell of bamboo.
Huo Xiao led Shen You inside. After walking for about two to three minutes, they arrived at a bamboo pavilion.
A person was already sitting in the pavilion.
Shen You looked carefully and found out it was a middle-aged woman in her forties.
Shen You frowned as she looked at the woman. She felt a little familiar.
Huo Xiao led Shen You forward to the front of the woman.
The woman heard the noise and turned to look at Shen You.
Shen You looked at the woman carefully. “Have we met before?”
The woman stood up and smiled gently at Shen You. “We often met when you were young.”
Shen You frowned as she looked at the woman. She could not recall where she had seen her before.
Shen You shook her head. “I’m sorry, I can’t remember…”
The woman smiled and gently put her hand on Shen You’s shoulder. “You were still young at that time. Your grandmother often brought you to my house.”
Shen You was trying hard to recall when she suddenly remembered something. “Auntie Shu?”
The smile on the woman’s face deepened. “You remember now!”
Shen You nodded and said with some grievance, “I remember Grandma said that you moved away, and then I couldn’t see you anymore!”
Shu Qing gently pulled Shen You into her arms with a gentle smile on her face. “Yes! You’ve grown so big all of a sudden!”
“Auntie Shu, why are you here?” Shen You asked in a puzzle.
Shu Qing gently let go of Shen You and pulled Shen You to sit down on the bamboo chair in the pavilion.
“There were some changes in the family back then, so we left.” Shu Qing said softly.
“After that, a few years later, I went back and found that your grandmother had passed away, and you…” Shu Qing said with a slight frown, “You were also brought back home by the Shen family.”
Shen You nodded and said, “A few years after my grandmother passed away, the Shen family found me.”
“At that time, as there was no one else in the family, and the Shen family said that I was their child, so they took me away forcefully,” Shen You said with some grievance.
Shu Qing thought for a moment and looked up at Huo Xiao. “I have something to say to Shen You, can you…”
Huo Xiao understood and said immediately, “I’ll stay away. You guys go ahead!”
