Chapter 101 Move in with me
The deliveryman lay on the ground for a while before he got up.
I had bruises from the fall, but thankfully I was wearing thick clothes, so I wasn't seriously injured.
Shen Qingshu called the property management.
The corridor is under surveillance.
The property management brought a cleaning lady over, and after cleaning up the foam on the ground, the property management took Shen Qingshu, Aunt Qin, and the deliveryman Yuanzhong to the monitoring room.
In the monitoring room.
"We found it." The staff member took a screenshot of the surveillance footage and showed it to everyone.
Surveillance footage shows that around 7 a.m., the little boy from across the hall was playing with bubbles in the hallway.
The child is about five or six years old.
The little boy ran back and forth in the aisle, spilling the bubble solution he was holding all over the floor.
What's even more infuriating is that the little boy clearly and deliberately splashed bubble solution at their doorstep several times!
"Don't the adults in this family care?" Aunt Qin said angrily. "We must contact this family and make them come out and apologize!"
"Don't worry, homeowner, we'll contact them right now."
The property management immediately called the family.
However, the male homeowner was away on a business trip and was unaware of what had happened at home, so he hung up the phone.
This attitude clearly shows that they don't take this matter seriously.
The deliveryman was in a hurry to deliver the goods, so he waved his hand and said, "Never mind, I'll just accept my bad luck."
After saying that, he started to limp away.
Seeing that he was also having a hard time, Shen Qingshu called out to him, "Wait a minute."
The deliveryman paused, looking at her with a puzzled expression.
Shen Qingshu walked over, took out her phone, and said, "Give me your payment QR code."
The deliveryman was taken aback for a moment, then waved his hand, "No need, that foam water wasn't caused by your company, it's not your responsibility!"
"That's true, but if it weren't for you, I might be the one who fell down now." Shen Qingshu smiled at him. "You've taken the fall for me. I'll transfer you some money for medical expenses so I can have peace of mind."
The deliveryman was a little embarrassed and declined, saying it wasn't necessary.
"I'll transfer 200 to you, just accept it as a token."
Upon hearing this, the deliveryman agreed and took out his phone to open the payment QR code.
Shen Qingshu scanned the code and transferred two thousand yuan.
The deliveryman was shocked!
"That's too much..."
"Here you go." Shen Qingshu put away her phone and gave the deliveryman a faint smile.
It's worth paying 2000 yuan to ensure the safety of her two unborn children.
The young man scratched the back of his head. "You're a good person, you'll definitely be rewarded!"
He smiled faintly and remained silent.
After the deliveryman left, Shen Qingshu asked the property management to take her to talk to her family across the hall.
After all, we'll be neighbors in the future, so it's important to clarify things promptly.
The property manager was very helpful and led them to the door of the apartment across the hall.
I rang the doorbell, and it took quite a while for someone to open the door.
The woman who opened the door was dressed simply and was holding a porcelain bowl. At this time, she was feeding her five-year-old grandson breakfast.
Seeing them, the old man looked puzzled. "Who are you looking for?"
"Hello, I am the property manager of our community."
The property manager showed his work badge to the elderly man.
The old man looked at the work badge, then at Shen Qingshu, his expression somewhat tense. "Is there something you need?"
"Here's the thing, this is Ms. Shen, the owner of unit 3201. We saw from the surveillance footage that your child was playing with bubble solution in the hallway this morning and even spilled it in front of Ms. Shen's door, causing a deliveryman to slip and fall and get injured."
"Your child's behavior has posed a threat to the safety of others. As the child's parent, we hope you will take this seriously!"
"Huh?" The old man looked surprised. "This little rascal is so naughty every day! I'm sorry, Xiao Bao's mom and dad got divorced. We just moved in yesterday. I was busy tidying up the house and was a little careless. I'll definitely be more careful next time!"
The old man's apology was sincere.
The property manager repeatedly reminded everyone to keep a close eye on their children and to take any toys or water bottles down to the ground floor if they wanted to play with them.
The elderly man repeatedly assured that he would take good care of his grandson, and his attitude of admitting his mistake was very good.
Shen Qingshu saw that it wasn't easy for an elderly woman to take care of a child. Besides, five- or six-year-old boys are indeed at a mischievous age, and it's common for them to cause trouble.
Shen Qingshu did not pursue the matter further.
However, she felt a greater sense of vigilance.
…
After the property manager and Shen Qingshu left, the old man closed the door.
Inside the door, the old man put down the porcelain bowl in his hand, took out his mobile phone, and dialed a number.
"Hey, I did as you said, but it didn't work out. A delivery guy messed things up... I don't think she suspected me, I acted really convincingly... Don't worry, my little one is young and will do whatever you ask! But..."
The old man, clutching his phone, said greedily, "You need to give me some more money. The last amount really wasn't enough. My son's salary isn't high, and the neighborhood where you found me is too expensive... Fifty thousand?! Okay, okay! Don't worry, I'll definitely get things done for you..."
—
Because of the foam water incident this morning, Shen Qingshu was somewhat distracted at work.
Wen Jingxi noticed and glanced at her sideways. "What's wrong?"
Shen Qingshu wondered if she was being overly sensitive. After hesitating for a moment, she told Wen Jingxi about what happened that morning.
"Some naughty kids are really annoying; they just love to cause trouble."
“So,” Shen Qingshu asked him, “am I being too sensitive?”
"That's not it either." Wen Jingxi pursed his lips and thought for a moment before saying, "If you're still worried, why don't you move in with me?"
Shen Qingshu was taken aback. "Moving in with you? Aren't you staying in a hotel?"
"That was before!"
Wen Jingxi said with a proud look, "I still have to work with you in Beicheng for two months, and we can't stay in hotels all the time! So I thought I'd just buy a house in Beicheng, but I don't have the chance to buy one myself because my dad also owns property in Beicheng. The environment is quite nice, but it's a bit far from your studio."
Shen Qingshu pursed her lips and said after a while, "That's your dad's house. It's not appropriate for me to live there."
“Why not? Let Aunt Qin come over too. I have a live-in nanny there, and they can take care of you together.”
Shen Qingshu felt that this was too much trouble for Wen Jingxi.
Wen Jingxi noticed her concerns, scoffed, and said with dissatisfaction, "You said before that you treated me like family and a younger brother, but now you're being so distant with me! Shen Qingshu, you're just a two-faced woman!"
Shen Qingshu: "..."
She couldn't argue with Wen Jingxi, so she smiled helplessly and said, "I'll think about it some more."
Wen Jingxi snorted coldly and ignored her.
…
When Wen Jingxi finished get off work in the evening, he insisted on going home with Shen Qingshu.
Shen Qingshu knew he was still worried, and since she couldn't persuade him otherwise, she let him be.
As the two came out of the repair room, Lu Xiaohan stood up and called out, "Qingshu, a local package just arrived, it's yours."
Shen Qingshu walked over and took the package.
Upon opening it, I discovered it was a wedding invitation.
