Chapter 45 Know the Answer
The system went back to the terminal for upgrade this week due to a unified recall of terminals.
The faint sound of radio waves suddenly disappeared from her mind, and Yan Sui was a little uncomfortable for a moment.
She was thinking that after she completed these three tasks, the system would disappear from her as promised.
And she can be reborn.
This is a good thing. She no longer has to be restricted by the rules and regulations set by the system and can completely return to her own freedom.
But for some reason, when she thought of the emotionless mechanical voice in her mind, Yan Sui suddenly felt reluctant to let go.
The taxi crossed most of the city and drove to a community on the other side of the city.
Yan Sui found the store according to the address.
It's a clothing store.
The store is not big, with simple decoration and no design on the door head. It only displays the store name with simple LED lights.
Xiaoyi clothing.
Although she didn't know whether the other party had heard of her existence from Yan Zhaoting, nor whether she had seen her, Yan Sui still disguised herself before leaving.
Yan Sui changed out of her eye-catching school uniform and donned the coat Sui Yuling had recently bought her. Her bangs were draped across her forehead, and a pair of sunglasses, seemingly from nowhere, perched on her nose, obscuring most of her face.
Wearing sunglasses on the street at night is a bit eye-catching.
But these days, women are all about exaggerated looks, like platform heels and contrasting colors. Some even wear sunglasses at night to complete their outfits.
Yan Sui knew this, so she used it as a disguise very well.
There is a milk tea shop next to the clothing store. Although it is winter, there are still a few tables and chairs at the door for customers to rest.
But it was freezing cold outside in Sushan, and although there were chairs, few people sat outside.
Yan Sui felt that this was a perfect place for observation. Sitting here, she could blend in with the customers of the store and it would not be easy for people in the clothing store to notice anything unusual.
She ordered a cup of milk tea and sat down, holding her phone in her hand and a straw in her mouth, but her eyes were not focused, and she was looking into the clothing store on the other side.
After observing for over half an hour, Yan Sui realized that there were no customers in the clothing store. The wooden door with a bell hanging at the entrance hadn't rang once in the half hour she had been sitting there.
It was late at night and it was not a busy place, so the milk tea shop didn't have much business.
The owner of the milk tea shop, who might have been using the heater inside or something, sat down at the table next to Yan Sui with two patches of high altitude red on his face, crossed his legs and started looking at his phone.
Yan Sui narrowed her eyes and took the initiative to greet the other party: "Miss, let me ask."
The shop owner put down his phone and asked, "What's wrong?"
"How long has this clothing store been open? I've been sitting here for half an hour and haven't seen a single customer. There aren't many people shopping here, so how can a clothing store do business here?"
Yan Sui wore sunglasses and suppressed her emphasis, leaning towards an adult voice. She was dressed like an adult, so the shop owner thought she was here to investigate opening a clothing store. He quickly waved her hand and said, "Are you thinking of opening a store here? Forget it. You can't make any money opening a clothing store here! There are residential buildings all around, but the two streets ahead are a pedestrian street. There are plenty of women's clothing stores there, and they're cheap. Why would anyone buy here?"
Yan Sui exclaimed exaggeratedly, "I think the clothes in her store are pretty nice!"
"What's the point of looking good? How can people only go to one store when shopping?" The shop owner stroked his chin and started gossiping with her. "This store has been open here for almost a year, and it's always been quiet with little business. I saw it was deserted, but the clothes inside looked pretty, so I planned to buy a couple. But the clothes in this store are ridiculously expensive. A dress costs over a thousand! The material can only be bought for a hundred at most on the pedestrian street."
“We can still operate even without business!”
The shop owner shrugged. "Maybe it's a custom-made business? Even though there aren't any customers coming in, they've been open for so long, so they should still be doing some business!"
Seeing that the topic was getting heated, Yan Sui quickly pressed the issue: "I just saw a young girl inside. Is she the owner of this store?"
"No way! I remember the owner of this shop was an auntie, who seemed to be fifty years old. But she looked very well, and she didn't look like a fifty-year-old at all, but more like a person in her early forties. I heard that she was an actor in our city's theater when she was young, and later..."
Yan Sui thought carefully about the woman's appearance when she met her last time in the mall. She certainly didn't look like a 50-year-old. She looked even younger than her mother. She was a little shocked by her age.
Yan Zhaoting is forty-four years old this year, which means he is six or seven years younger than the woman.
He actually cheated on her with a woman so much older than him!
Yan Sui had a hunch that Yan Zhaoting couldn't just focus on the other person's face and personality. With his conditions, he could definitely cheat on someone younger and more beautiful. Although this woman was well-maintained and looked like a beauty in her youth, her age was there. If there was nothing else that could attract Yan Zhaoting, he would definitely not cheat on a woman so much older than him.
The shop owner chatted with Yan Sui for a while until someone came to the store to buy milk tea and then left.
Yan Sui still sat there observing the shop next door.
Half an hour later, the shop door was finally pushed open from the inside.
Yan Sui's back couldn't help but straighten up.
As the door expanded outward, Yan Sui's heart was lifted inch by inch. She held her breath, her eyes fixed on the wooden door opposite, not daring to relax for a moment.
Until the corner of a school uniform appeared on the side of the wooden door.
Yan Sui was stunned for a moment, and then a familiar school uniform appeared in her field of vision. Her gaze climbed up little by little until she saw the other person's face clearly, and the breath she had been holding instantly dissipated.
The noisy sound of the wind in her ears disappeared, and her body seemed to be frozen by the cold air, and she even forgot to hide.
"Then I'll go back first. You should get some rest early."
"Well, let's take a taxi back! Don't take the bus."
"I know, Mom. You go in first! Don't send me off."
“…”
Yan Sui has never liked dramatic things.
She didn't like the jokes happening in her own family. She preferred a quiet and routine life to the constant drama.
But it was as if someone had planted a seed of drama in her life, ready to burst forth with every step she took, only to strike her head with a hammer when she least expected it.
At this moment, scenes from the past began to replay in her mind.
Thinking back to when she was reborn, she followed Yan Zhaoting's clues to find the old community. But she met him downstairs in the community.
He smiled and said, "My mother lives here." The person in front of him overlapped with the person in his mind who was smiling tenderly in front of him. From fantasy to reality, it finally turned into this dazzling scene in front of him.
Her body instantly broke out in goose bumps.
Why, it would be Yu Shuli...
The woman who destroyed her family and got together with Yan Zhaoting was Yu Shuli's mother.
No wonder, no wonder when she was at home looking at the photos she took in the mall last time, she felt that the woman's face was familiar.
This sense of familiarity came from Yu Shuli, who had been with her day and night in her previous life.
The sudden change left Yan Sui stunned.
There was no dodging, no cover, and his eyes stared straight in the direction of the two people opposite him.
The streets were really empty, or perhaps Yan Sui's sight was too obvious, the two people standing at the door of the store tilted their heads slightly and were about to look in her direction.
But Yan Sui's body seemed to be fixed by something. She wanted to dodge but couldn't move.
The moment the other person turned his gaze, a shadow suddenly fell in front of her.
A dark shadow stood in front of her, blocking her view from the opposite side.
Seeing that there was only a couple sitting in the milk tea shop next door, there was nothing unusual. Ran Shuyi retracted her gaze, raised her hand and gently patted Yu Shuli's shoulder: "Go home early! Don't let your brother and others worry."
Yu Shuli nodded, gently weighed the schoolbag on his body, and walked towards the street intersection.
Ran Shuyi stopped at the door for a while before turning back into the store.
As for Sui...
Lin Jingyang placed one hand on the table and the other on the back of a chair, blocking Yan Sui's way and enclosing her body within the circle he had drawn. Noticing the person behind him entering the clothing store, he leaned down slightly and called out the person's name.
Yan Sui still stared at the ground with her eyes downcast, without any response to his call.
Lin Jingyang frowned slightly and closed the distance between them: "If you sit here any longer, you will be discovered by the other party.
"You don't want your plan to fail, do you?"
With a click, Yan Sui suddenly came back to her senses and subconsciously looked behind Lin Jingyang.
"Don't worry, they didn't see you."
Yan Sui breathed a sigh of relief and slowly stood up from the chair: "Why are you here? Following me?"
Lin Jingyang chuckled: "That's not necessary."
Yan Sui lowered her head, not just thinking about his words but also about something else.
Lin Jingyang glanced around and gently bumped his shoulder against Yan Sui's body. "Let's talk somewhere else? Are you worried that she won't see you if she comes out?"
.
Yan Sui followed Lin Jingyang into his car.
Lin Jingyang's car had the heater on, and Yan Sui's body, frozen stiff outside, slowly began to warm up shortly after she sat in the passenger seat. However, the fingertips of her hands resting on her knees were still ice-cold.
Seeing her blank expression, sitting there for a long time without asking him any questions, Lin Jingyang took the initiative to explain, "When I was helping you get the contract documents from my friend, I saw the address your father and his family left was this clothing store. I happened to be doing some work nearby today, and I thought of the address, so I came to check it out. I didn't expect you to be here, sitting in an icy cave with the temperature outside at -3 degrees Celsius."
He smiled playfully as he said the last sentence.
Yan Sui blinked: "When did you come?"
"It started when you were chatting with the lady boss. So what were you thinking about?"
"Didn't you see it?" "What did you see? Did your classmate call Ran Shuyi mom?"
Yan Sui didn't say anything and tacitly agreed to this matter.
Lin Jingyang placed his hands on the steering wheel, tapping it lightly with his fingers: "Uncomfortable?"
"a little."
Lin Jingyang snorted and sneered, "Liar!" He muttered, "You didn't seem to be in the same situation just now. You could have avoided his sight by turning your head, but you just stood there motionless."
Yan Sui gritted her teeth and turned her head to look out the window.
There were still people walking on the street outside the car window, and the lights in the clothing store were still on. But the boy who had just walked towards the intersection on this road was gone.
She murmured, "I just suddenly thought of the answer to something."
