"Brother, sister-in-law, please enjoy your meal. I have something to do and need to go out for a bit."
Lu Xi wiped her mouth with a tissue and said to Lu Fan and Jiang Manyue.
"Where are you going so late?"
Seeing that it was already dark outside, and knowing that his younger sister was going out, and considering her recent unusual behavior, Lu Fan asked her with concern.
"Oh, I'm going out to visit a friend."
Lu Xi had already put on her coat and changed her shoes at the door.
"Why do you have so many questions! Let Xixi go wherever she wants. She's not getting any younger, it's time for her to find a boyfriend. How can she find someone she likes if she's always around us?"
Jiang Manyue nudged Lu Fan with her hand and said.
"Go early and come back early, and call me immediately if anything happens!"
After being told these two sentences by his wife, Lu Fan understood this principle.
But looking at his younger sister, he couldn't help but give her a few words of advice.
Lu Xi got into the car after leaving her home and left the villa area.
Inside Rella's coffee shop, Zhizhi noticed that there were no more customers and was cleaning the shop. Out of the corner of her eye, she spotted the same group of people who had been watching outside the shop a while ago. In a panic, she quickly found Zhou Ruan and told him about it.
I heard Zhizhi say that the person who appeared a few days ago has appeared again.
He looked incredulous. His sister had just paid off all the debts that morning, so why was she sending people to keep an eye on her tonight?
"It's alright, I'll go out and handle it."
Seeing the frightened Zhizhi, Zhou Ruan patted his shoulder, smiled, and then opened the shop door.
He walked towards the group of people staring at the coffee shop across the street.
"He's coming, what do we do?"
"What are you afraid of? We're not breaking the law by standing here. Stand up straight."
One of the younger ones watched as Zhou Ruan walked towards them.
Anxious, he grabbed the person in charge next to him and asked what to do, but the leader simply slapped his young subordinate on the head.
He thought to himself, speechless: Why did I bring such a useless person along to keep watch?
"You two are Gu Hai's men, aren't you?"
He walked up to the two of them and, without wasting any words, went straight to the point and asked.
"Gu Hai? So what if he is, and so what if he isn't?"
The man in the lead looked at Zhou Ruan and thought he was being tricked into revealing who was behind it. He wasn't stupid, so he deliberately dodged the question.
"Whether you are Gu Hai's subordinates or not, my sister went to your company this morning and paid back all the money she owed you. You probably didn't receive any notification. I won't blame you. You can call your boss later to ask."
Looking at the two of them, Zhou Ruan knew very well that only Gu Hai would use such a stalking trick, and said to them.
The two men exchanged a glance, and the leader said, "We'll just stand here for a bit. We'll let you know when dinner is ready at home. If we call and it's ready, we'll leave immediately and won't be coming back."
"I hope so."
Seeing the two of them, Zhou Ruan turned and went back to the coffee shop.
"Big brother, are we really going to call and ask Hai-ge?"
"Are you stupid! If you bother Hai Ge with such a small thing at this hour, she'll definitely break your arm."
After hearing what his young subordinate said, the leader slapped him on the back of the head again.
"So what should we do now? They said they've already paid back the money. Should we stay here or go back?"
"Don't follow me next time. Of course, go back. You can just stay here like an idiot."
This time, the leader didn't make a move; he simply turned and left.
The young man glanced at the coffee shop and thought: If you're not even here, what am I doing here?
They left as well.
"Sister Ruan, what did you tell them? They've all left."
While inside the shop, they kept observing Zhizhi outside. After Zhou Ruan finished speaking to them and returned, the two of them discussed it briefly and then left as well.
Curious, she took Zhou Ruan's hand and asked.
"Oh, there was nothing to it. I just said a few words to them, and they understood what was going on and left on their own."
Seeing Zhizhi happy as the person left, Zhou Ruan didn't tell her the truth.
They made up a lie to cover it up, since they wouldn't be coming back anyway.
"Sister Ruan is awesome!"
Upon hearing Zhou Ruan's explanation, Zhizhi immediately gave him a thumbs up.
"Alright, let's hurry up and pack up, then we can go home." He said to Zhizhi, who was still flattering him.
"Time to get to work!"
Zhou Ruan's gaze fell on her sister's office around the corner.
She hadn't left the house all afternoon since returning from Gu Hai's place.
There were several moments throughout the afternoon when Zhou Ruan thought of the worst possible outcome: when her sister went to return the money that morning, Gu Hai would do the same thing to her sister as he did two years ago. But she quickly dismissed the thought.
Although that matter has always been a thorn in my side.
Even if Gu Hai had a hundred times the courage, he wouldn't dare do such a thing to his sister.
Maybe it really is like my sister said, I'm just a little tired and want to be alone for a while.
Ring ring ring one
Hello, who is this?
The room was dark. Zhou Wen faced the window, looking at the dark sky dotted with a few stars.
Just as Zhou Wen was watching quietly, the phone in her pocket rang.
Seeing that the number displayed on my phone was an unfamiliar number I had never seen before, I hesitated for a moment before answering.
