Chapter 208 Chapter 208 A Pie in the Sky
Li dreamed that when she got the marriage certificate early tomorrow morning, she would be the first to call Shen Qinghuan to tell him the good news.
After hesitating for a moment, she narrowed her eyes and smiled, "Huanbao, I'm not in a hurry. There's still time. I'd better take you home first! It's late at night, and I'm really worried about you taking a taxi back alone."
"It's not too late now, don't worry! I'll text you when I get home to let you know I'm safe."
Worried that Li Meng was tired, Shen Qinghuan refused to let her go first.
Li Mengjian couldn't persuade her, so she had no choice but to listen to her and let Shen Qinghuan take a taxi back first. "I've written down the license plate number of the taxi. Please keep in touch with me at any time!"
Shen Qinghuan smiled and nodded, "I understand! Go ahead and get busy!"
Li Meng stood by the roadside until the taxi that Shen Qinghuan was riding in drove away, then she went back to her car.
She is now driving to Shi Beichuan's apartment.
She didn't have to think about anything now, just wait for Shi Beichuan to come back in the apartment.
Then tomorrow morning the two of them will go to the Civil Affairs Bureau together.
It took thirty-five minutes to get back from the 1900 Club.
During these short thirty-five minutes, Shen Qinghuan's mind was filled with memories of happiness, sadness, despair, helplessness, and joy. She couldn't even think normally.
But the only thing she knew was that she and Jiang Yu had no future, they had no future together.
When she realized this clearly, the heart under her ribs began to twitch in severe pain, as if it was being stabbed by countless sharp steel needles, one after another.
Shen Qinghuan got out of the taxi in a daze, staggered and almost fell to the ground.
"Are you okay?"
A familiar voice suddenly fell into her ears.
Shen Qinghuan was stunned for a moment, barely able to steady himself, and looked up at the owner of the voice.
Looking at the warm face that came into view, she twitched the corners of her mouth slightly, her smile slightly awkward, "What a coincidence! Doctor Zhou, did you just get off work?"
Zhou Sinian narrowed his eyes slightly and looked down at her.
"Why are you living at Miss Li's house again?" He asked calmly, suppressing his doubts.
Shen Qinghuan hesitated for a moment and told the truth: "It's the cooling-off period after the divorce, and I haven't found a place to live yet..."
In fact, she has been looking for a house these days, but she doesn't want to find a community that is too far away. She wants to live in the same community with Li Meng so that if anything happens, they can take care of each other.
Zhou Sinian's eyes changed slightly, and he looked at Shen Qinghuan with a dark and unclear look. He said, "The house across from me is up for rent. If you want it, I can help you ask."
Before I could say anything, he added with a smile, "That apartment isn't big. It's a one-bedroom apartment, suitable for singles or couples. It used to be occupied by a young couple."
Shen Qinghuan's eyes lit up, as if the sky was suddenly filled with stars. "Then the rent..."
Zhou Sinian: "The rent is not expensive! Eight hundred a month!"
Shen Qinghuan: "Only 800? In RMB, not USD?"
The house that Li Meng rented is a two-bedroom, one-living room house with a master bedroom and a study. She currently lives in the study. For a house of this specification, the rent is 5,000 yuan a month. However, the one-bedroom and one-living room upstairs only costs 800 yuan. Is this a pie in the sky?
Zhou Sinian: "Yes! Only 800 yuan, in RMB, not US dollars, let alone pounds. The main reason is that the landlord has money, and I just want you to help him look after the house. But he has one requirement, which is that the tenant must be clean and take care of everything in the room."
He is the owner of that house, and he has the final say on how much rent he wants to charge!
He didn't want to collect rent from Shen Qinghuan, but she would definitely not agree. He couldn't even let her know that the house was his.
After hearing what Zhou Sinian said, Shen Qinghuan thought about it and quickly dispelled the doubts in his heart.
After all, situations like what he described are not uncommon.
Maybe her luck has improved now, so she encountered such a good thing.
"I promise I can do what the landlord asks." Shen Qinghuan said, "Then when can I meet with the landlord? I can rent the house and move in anytime."
Zhou Sinian smiled warmly, "Tomorrow afternoon! I'll call you then."
Shen Qinghuan hummed softly, then said, "Thank you for your help."
The two of them entered the elevator together.
Shen Qinghuan left first, followed by Zhou Sinian.

It was late at night.
It was as if everything was silent.
Shen Qinghuan lay in bed, tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep! Her eyes were wide open, staring at the window with the gauze falling.
She reached out and rubbed the desk lamp to turn it on, then picked up her phone and took a look. There was no movement in the living room.
She couldn't help but worry about Li Meng.
After hesitating for a moment, Shen Qinghuan opened WeChat and sent a message to Li Meng, "Are you done with your work? When will you be back?"
Watching this sentence appear in the dialog box, she put the phone back where it belonged.
A few minutes later, her phone vibrated. She quickly picked it up and saw an unread message from Li Meng.
"Huanbao, I may not be home tonight. You're home alone, so remember to close the doors and windows. Call me if you have any questions."
Huh? She's not coming back? Did she get a new boyfriend? Shen Qinghuan blinked suspiciously. Apart from this, she really couldn't think of any other reason why Li Meng didn't come home at night.
She puffed out her cheeks and smiled to herself.
Once she moves out tomorrow, Mengmeng can bring her boyfriend back and she won't have to worry about her.
Shen Qinghuan replied: "I understand. Then please be careful."
Li Meng: "You too, see you tomorrow."
Li Meng: "Huanbao, tomorrow morning, I will announce a happy event, and you will definitely be happy for me."
Looking at the message that popped up in the dialog box, Shen Qinghuan was stunned for a long time, completely bewildered. After a moment's hesitation, she replied jokingly, "What kind of happy event is it that has to wait until tomorrow morning to announce it? Can't it be tonight?"
Li Meng: "It has to be tomorrow morning! Huanbao, it's already late, you should go to bed early. Good night."
Shen Qinghuan curled her lips helplessly, knowing that she couldn't get the answer, so she didn't ask any more questions. "I know, good night."
After sending the last message, she threw the phone back onto the table next to her.

On the other side, Li Meng had already arrived at Shi Beichuan's apartment.
She lay quietly on the sofa, patiently waiting for Shi Beichuan to come back and steal the household registration book.
Li Meng was still a little worried, so she could only pray silently in her heart that he must succeed in getting the household registration book, and then they would go to the gate of the Civil Affairs Bureau and wait for dawn.
As soon as the staff comes to work, they can go in and go through the marriage procedures according to the procedures.
This was the first time that Li Meng felt the night was so long.
She didn't know how much time had passed. She was almost falling asleep on the sofa when she suddenly heard the sound of the lock turning.
