NOVPUBNanny Nong looked at Shen Roujia with confusion, then turned to Liang Yutang.
Liang Yutang scrutinized Shen Roujia. “Jiaojiao, did you think of something?” n𝚘𝚟𝚙𝚞𝚋.𝚌o𝚖
Shen Roujia shook her head slightly. “It’s nothing, Grandfather. Is that villa still on the south side? It’s getting late today, so I’ll come back to see you another time.”
Liang Yutang was taken aback and immediately tried to catch up to her. “Have you forgotten? It’s on Jiying Lane. Aren’t you going to stay here?”
Shen Roujia waved her hand dismissively. “In my current situation, I can’t bring any trouble to the Liang family. It’s enough that you haven’t scolded me.”
As soon as she said this, Liang Yutang frowned. “How can you think like that?”
Shen Roujia waved him off again. Tu Lie also bowed respectfully to Liang Yutang, and the two turned to leave.
As they walked out, Shen Roujia glanced at Tu Lie. “Brother Tu Lie, are you going to keep following me?”
Tu Lie frowned, “You’re not going back, but heading to that villa instead, aren’t you?”
Shen Roujia smiled and hesitated before nodding. “So, you understand what I’m planning?”
Before she could say more, Tu Lie firmly objected, “No, you’re just a Miss. Why do you keep doing such risky things?”
Shen Roujia paused and then slowly smiled. “Brother Tu Lie, are you saying you’re planning to come with me?”
Tu Lie, caught off guard by Shen Roujia’s playful tone, hesitated slightly.
“You mean...?”
Shen Roujia nodded slightly. “I’m not that foolish. For something like this, it’s better to have skilled help.”
Tu Lie glanced at the sky. “Let’s go now. It’s dinner time, so the streets will be quiet.”
The two of them then headed in the direction of the villa. Shen Roujia looked at the sky and felt reassured by Tu Lie’s reliability, so she kept her thoughts to herself.
Still contemplating, Shen Roujia realized they had already arrived at Jiying Lane.
The area looked rather secluded, with small houses scattered around. In the distance, she could see the rundown villa, its gate in disrepair—it must have been the old villa she was looking for.
Shen Roujia and Tu Lie exchanged a glance and nodded slightly.
“Brother Tu Lie, this should be the place.”
Tu Lie asked Shen Roujia to wait while he leaped over the wall and quietly opened the door from inside, whispering for her to enter. “Come in.”
Shen Roujia considered for a moment, then removed her veiled hat to see more clearly.
