After saying that, Yu Mingxue remained silent and finished her lunch with Wen Shuqiao.
After paying the bill, she remembered something and took out the key from her bag: "The child won't come with me, and I won't ask him or make him nervous. This is the key to that apartment. I made a copy. Keep it safe so you won't be unable to get in next time."
Wen Shuqiao took the keys. Both keys were brand new, not the old keys that Yu Mingxue had before.
She said, "I'll bring Can Can to see you off tomorrow."
Yu Mingxue shook her head: "No need. It's the middle of winter, let him sleep. I'll come back when I'm done with my work at the company."
She looked at Wen Shuqiao, but this time she didn't scrutinize her as before. She just stared at her and said, "If you run into any trouble, just send me a message. Don't beat around the bush like Wen Zhixia. I'm not a mind reader, so I can't guess what you're up to."
“Okay.” Wen Shuqiao opened her mouth, but still said indirectly, “Wen Zhixia also has her considerations.”
Yu Mingxue shrugged slightly: "Now, who can know?"
Wen Shuqiao remained silent. She knew, but unfortunately, she couldn't say it.
Yu Mingxue simply said casually, "I'm leaving."
Wen Shuqiao nodded slightly, watched Yu Mingxue get into the car and drive away, before slowly turning her gaze away, carrying her things on her back, and walking towards the studio.
She hadn't walked far when she passed a scratch-off lottery shop. The shopkeeper, sitting at the entrance, saw her looking over and said with a smile, "Want to scratch one? A multi-million dollar prize is waiting for you!"
Wen Shuqiao suddenly remembered the dream she had a few days ago, in which she won ten million. She chuckled and said, "Let's buy one."
I'll buy it and let Can Can scratch it and play with it.
She walked into the store, intending to buy only one ticket, but then she remembered that Shen Jiazhou was also there, so she simply picked out three tickets, one for each of them, so that everyone could try their luck with the scratch-off lottery.
The store manager reminded customers, "If you win, remember to come and redeem your prize. You can only redeem it here!"
Wen Shuqiao replied with a "Okay," and said, "Thank you for your kind words."
The shop manager smiled and saw her out. After watching her walk away, a strange blue light flashed in his eyes, but it quickly disappeared.

Zhong Qi's customers arrived at 2 PM and finished taking photos at 4 PM. Wen Shuqiao saw that it was still early, so she didn't send a message to Shen Jiazhou. After saying goodbye to Zhong Qi and the others, she took the subway home by herself.
When they got home, Shen Jiazhou and Cancan were playing games in the living room. Upon hearing the noise, Cancan immediately stopped watching her uncle play, shrunk off the sofa, and ran over to hug Wen Shuqiao's waist: "Auntie! Did you miss me today? I missed you so much!"
Wen Shuqiao lowered her head and touched his chubby cheeks: "I've been thinking about it. What are you doing with your uncle?"
Can Can pressed her face against her clothes: "Uncle is playing a game! I'm watching him play! It looks so fun, but I can't play."
My uncle said this is a game for adults; children can only watch.
Oh dear! When will I ever grow up?
After Can Can finished speaking, Shen Jia Zhou also came over. He frowned slightly: "Didn't I tell you to call me and I would come pick you up?"
Wen Shuqiao was standing in the entryway, preparing to change her shoes, when she felt a light touch on her shoulder as Shen Jiazhou took the camera from her.
Can Can also hugged her and twisted and turned herself to Wen Shu Qiao's side, but she just wouldn't let go of her arms.
After changing her shoes, Wen Shuqiao took his hand and said to Shen Jiazhou, "I thought it was still early, and taking the subway would be convenient; it would only take about 20 minutes."
Shen Jiazhou came to pick her up, but he had to go down to the garage and take a detour, which took more than twenty minutes.
"By the way, have you finished everything?" Wen Shuqiao asked. "Do I not need to go to Shen's anymore?"
Shen Jiazhou had already placed Wen Shuqiao's camera bag on the coffee table. Hearing Wen Shuqiao's question, he looked up and replied, "It's all done. Everything has been handed over, and everyone knows."
His deal with Uncle Shen wasn't kept secret from anyone, but they didn't think of it as Shen Jiazhou "resigning." Even the old man thought they were preparing for some new project. A few days ago, the old man even called Shen Jiazhou, basically telling him not to favor one over the other, that they were all members of the Shen family, and that everyone should be treated equally.
But he was no longer the one judging these things.
This afternoon, the document of Shen Jiazhou's resignation was issued to the entire group. Shen Jiazhou drove away early, leaving the space to his second uncle.
Not only that, Shen Jiazhou also removed his usual SIM card, getting a complete and peaceful peace and quiet. Only now did he realize how... refreshing it was!
