"I've decided, I'll go see her tomorrow."

After hesitating for a long time, Zhou Sheng finally made a decision just as Zong Lian was about to get angry.

For him.

A leg can be broken.

Curiosity must be satisfied.

Zong Lian: "Then you can leave."

He was about to close the door when he said that.

Zhou Sheng quickly reached out to stop him, "Aren't you going to say something?"

"say what?"

Zong Lian frowned, clearly getting impatient.

Zhou Sheng: "For example, the grudge between the Yan family and the Zhou family advised me not to go..."

Zong Lian glanced at him.

Whether you go or not is your choice.

"You're an adult now."

...

Lanxin Hotel.

Yan Can was sleeping soundly when she was suddenly woken up by the landline in the guest room.

"Hello."

"This is the hotel front desk. The clothes you requested to be washed have been prepared. Is now a convenient time for you...?"

The receptionist was interrupted before she could finish speaking.

A familiar voice rang out.

"I am Zhou Sheng."

He's here?

Yan Can chuckled, "So it's Young Master Zhou."

Her tone was cute and flirtatious.

Zhou Sheng: "..."

He suddenly felt his face getting hot.

This, this, this is Yan Can?

Yan Can then said, "Have them bring my clothes up first, and wait for me for ten minutes."

The clothes arrived shortly after I hung up the phone.

While Yan Can was changing her clothes and washing up, Zhou Sheng was asking the receptionist for information.

"Miss Yan checked in at 10 p.m. last night."

"one person."

"She was...in a terrible state..."

Upon hearing what the receptionist said, Zhou Sheng immediately asked her if she had any injuries.

"I didn't see any injuries, but she looked very tired."

Zhou Sheng felt somewhat relieved.

He really didn't want to see Yan Can covered in injuries.

Ten minutes later.

Zhou Sheng stood outside the guest room door, staring in disbelief at Yan Can inside.

She wore light blue jeans and a white shirt, with the shirt tucked into her waistband, which made her waist look even slimmer.

The shirt sleeves were rolled up halfway, revealing slender, shapely arms covered with light-colored scars, and a cheap but pretty bracelet on her wrist.

This is a completely different image from yesterday and from any other day.

Efficient and poised.

"Good morning."

Yan Can said.

Zhou Sheng's gaze then shifted to her face.

It was still that familiar face, but for some reason, the contours had become more defined, and the superior bone structure was fully displayed at this moment.

What's most eye-catching are those eyes.

Cunning, with a smile.

Yet it also exudes a sense of detachment.

Yan Can reminded Zhou Sheng of someone else.

Zong Lian.

Two people who have absolutely no connection and are completely unrelated give him a remarkably similar feeling.

This feeling was strange, but Zhou Sheng didn't have the mind to think about it too much at the moment.

He responded to Yan Can with an inexplicable tension and restraint: "Good morning."

pity.

He was very unlucky.

The alarm clock in the guest room went off at that moment.

"It is now 12 o'clock in Beijing time."

Yan Can: "..."

Zhou Sheng: "..."

An unnamed atmosphere lingered between the two.

Yan Can remained unfazed.

She had just woken up and hadn't checked the time, so it's normal for her to make a mistake.

Zhou Sheng was genuinely embarrassed.

He was looking at his watch just a second ago.

My brain just didn't keep up with my eyes, and I accidentally said something stupid.

Zhou Sheng: "That..."

Yan Can: "Please come in."

Zhou Sheng then fell silent.

Upon entering the guest room, he immediately noticed the new clothes neatly folded on the sofa.

The receptionist said these were all street vendor goods from the night market.

But Zhou Sheng looked at Yan Can and felt that they were no different from world-famous brands.

Yan Can sat down opposite him and apologized first, "I'm really sorry for bothering you."

Zhou Sheng said "It's nothing," and then asked her, "How did you know my identity?"

Yan Can: "It's a long story, I'll tell you later."

Zhou Sheng: "..."

Is it too long to tell?

On what grounds?

He was so troubled by this problem that he couldn't sleep all night!

but.

The person in front of me was completely unfamiliar.

He is not the same person he was yesterday.

Let's leave it at that!

He then asked, "How did you know... Never mind, what do you need me for?"

Yan Can: "Wait a minute."

Zhou Sheng thought she was going to say something about "later" again, but then he saw Yan Can get up and take something out of the guest room.

"Look what this is."

In front of Zhou Sheng, Yan Can opened her palm.

Zhou Sheng's gaze was first drawn to the fine, dense scars on Yan Can's fingers.

Until the jade pendant dangled from between her fingers.

Zhou Sheng stood up instantly.

He stared at it intently at first, then grabbed the jade pendant and examined it closely.

Over and over again.

After looking at it for a while, Zhou Shengcai said, "This is my grandmother's jade."

Yan Can: "Mm."

Zhou Sheng calmed down and sat back down, stroking the jade pendant in his hand while looking at Yan Can.

"This jade pendant has been lost for over forty years."

His eyes showed nostalgia, "It's been so long, we once thought we'd never find it again."

But then, it came back.

It was returned by someone no one could have expected.

Zhou Sheng asked, "Where did you get it?"

Yan Can: What do you think?

Zhou Sheng already had the answer in his heart.

Yan Can then said, "When I went back last night, I broke Wang Juan's finger and took away their remaining savings and this jade pendant."
