Wen Shuqiao gave up on taking the bus. She looked around to make sure there were no cars before crossing the non-motorized vehicle lane in the middle and walking to the pedestrian crossing where Shen Jiazhou was.
She stopped in front of Shen Jiazhou and asked, "What are you doing here?"
Shen Jiazhou did not answer directly, but instead asked, "Is the matter settled?"
Wen Shuqiao nodded and adjusted the strap of her canvas bag: "It's already signed."
Shen Jiazhou's gaze fell on the canvas bag in her hand: "Let's go, I'll take you home."
His car was parked at the corner ahead. Wen Shuqiao followed him there, and after taking a couple of steps, she continued, "You still haven't told me, didn't you go horseback riding together?"
Why is Shen Jiazhou here?
Shen Jiazhou said, "Gu Xingyuan took Cancan with him. There was a last-minute video conference at the overseas company, so he didn't go. Don't worry, although Gu Xingyuan is always unreliable, he's still quite dependable."
Wen Shuqiao said "Oh," and agreed, Shen Jiazhou was indeed quite busy. She asked, "Is it resolved?"
Shen Jiazhou glanced at her out of the corner of his eye: "It's resolved. I figured you were almost done, so I stopped by to check on you."
Wen Shuqiao nodded slightly. Before she came, Shen Jiazhou had asked which coffee shop it was.
She said earnestly, "Su Sisi was afraid that Can Can and I would rely on her, so she signed the document very quickly."
Wen Shuqiao took out the bank card from her pocket: "Su Sisi said there is 200,000 yuan in it, which is the inheritance that Wen Zhixia left to Cancan."
Shen Jiazhou glanced at it, his brows furrowing slightly: "Why is Can Can still at the orphanage?"
Both of them knew the answer in their hearts, and Shen Jiazhou's expression turned somewhat ugly: "She got off too easy."
Wen Shuqiao said, "As long as she doesn't hang around in front of Cancan, it's fine. Cancan doesn't like her."
It was obvious from their previous meeting that it was good that she broke up with her so decisively. At least Cancan won't be afraid or sad anymore when she sees Su Sisi.
Wen Shuqiao rubbed the edge of the bank card with her fingertips a few times. Although she said that, she was still very angry.
The two walked to the car. Wen Shuqiao subconsciously reached for the back door, but Shen Jiazhou glanced at her and said, "The front."
Wen Shuqiao withdrew her hand, then silently took a step forward and opened the passenger door.
I almost forgot, Can Can isn't in the car today.
She got into the car, and Shen Jiazhou asked, "Where to?"
Wen Shuqiao said, "Let's go to the notary office first. It'll be easier to get things settled sooner so we can have peace of mind."
She took the two contracts out of her canvas bag and looked at them again, making sure nothing was missing.
Shen Jiazhou hummed in agreement, started the car, and then asked, "Shall we go horseback riding?"
Wen Shuqiao shook her head: "I won't go. You can take me to the notary office later. I'll take a bus back by myself later."
"I won't miss your little bit of time." Shen Jiazhou stopped the car.
We happened to encounter a red light.
As if remembering something, he took a red velvet box out of his pocket, his well-defined knuckles firmly gripping the bottom of the box, and extended his hand in front of Wen Shuqiao.
Wen Shuqiao was about to put the contract back when she saw the red velvet box and paused, asking, "What's this?"
Although he said it, his hand had already reached out and taken the red velvet box. When he opened it, it contained the gold longevity lock that Can Can had kept before.
Shen Jiazhou said, "I just went to pick it up, and I had someone repair it again."
When I took it there, there was a dent in one place, as if it had been hit or crushed by something, which is why it took so long.
Wen Shuqiao looked at the longevity lock in the box: "He would be very happy to see it."
Shen Jiazhou also smiled and said, "Probably."
Wen Shuqiao put them all into her bag, but when she looked up, she saw the car across the street.
Shen Jiazhou was already looking at her, and when he noticed her gaze fixed on a certain spot, he followed her gaze and asked, "What's wrong?"
The red light turned green, and Shen Jiazhou restarted the car. Wen Shuqiao frowned: "That white car looks like Su Sisi's."
She had just watched Su Sisi get into the car, and naturally she had also seen the license plate.
Why did she turn back? The school isn't in that direction.
Wen Shuqiao snorted unhappily and muttered, "Could it be that you remembered you haven't paid for your coffee yet? Did you go back to pay for it?"
Hearing her soft complaints, Shen Jiazhou couldn't help but laugh and said, "Hmm? So in the end you paid for it?"
Wen Shuqiao was a little embarrassed: "Um, how did you hear that?"
She was speaking very softly.
Shen Jiazhou said, "My ears are sharp."
Wen Shuqiao fell silent. It was just a casual remark, but it had been overheard, which made her feel inexplicably uncomfortable.
But Shen Jiazhou said, "I'll take you to get the money back."
Wen Shuqiao laughed: "No need, I was just saying it casually, it's just a cup of coffee."
“That’s still money,” Shen Jiazhou said. “Cancan would cry herself to death if she knew.”
Wen Shuqiao laughed and said, "Then don't tell him."
Can Can is a little money-grubber. He put all the few hundred yuan he earned into the piggy bank that Wen Shuqiao bought for him. At first, he would check on it every day and keep saying how it didn't make money.
He had overheard his uncle talking about money making money, but clearly, he didn't understand why money could make money.
After Wen Shuqiao found out, she would secretly drop five or ten yuan or coins into his account every now and then, and he would be overjoyed.
"Why didn't you mention this before? I'll bring you some cash tomorrow, you can put it in every now and then." Shen Jiazhou only just realized that Cancan was hoping the piggy bank would make money.
He then added, "Hmm? Mr. Wen, is it just a casual remark that you asked me to keep this a secret?"
Wen Shuqiao couldn't help but look at him, wondering, what else could she do?
Shen Jiazhou simply drove without saying a word.
Wen Shuqiao: ...She guessed it correctly.
