Chu Chu deliberately pretended to be innocent, shook her head gently, and a hint of helplessness flashed in her eyes: "I really don't know. He suddenly stopped me and stretched out his hand to ask for money. I told him I didn't have any, but he just leaned against the cold wall and made a terrifyingly loud noise. It was like a scene from a thriller, which made me feel creepy."
Upon hearing this, Su Rong frowned and without hesitation, "We can't just let this go. I'm calling the police right now. This guy has been hanging around here for the past few days, and I didn't expect him to be so bold now, actually daring to attack young women! We need the police to take care of him and find him a safe place."
At this moment, Chu Mingfeng unexpectedly became quiet. His cloudy eyes seemed to contain thousands of words, but he chose to remain silent.
His behavior revealed a complex emotion of preferring to be punished by law rather than face his son.
Chu Chu's gaze lingered on Chu Mingfeng for a moment, seeing through his thoughts. She sighed softly, her tone carrying a subtle tenderness: "Well, after all, he's just a poor homeless man. Let's not embarrass him anymore and let him go. The police are here, they're just here to inquire about the situation, and they might let him go back to his old ways. We might even see him on the streets again in a couple of days. Today is the weekend, and the police need a break, so let's not cause them any more trouble."
Seeing that Chu Mingfeng had indeed stopped making any more drastic moves, Su Rong slowly approached and pulled out a stack of bills from his wallet. While this amount might not have meant much to him, it was a rare gift of warmth to a homeless man. "Take this money and get out of here quickly. Two thousand yuan should be enough to tide you over for a while. If possible, try to find your family, especially if you have children; they're probably waiting for you to come home."
Chu Mingfeng kept his eyes on Chu Chu.
Chu Chu scratched her head helplessly, "If you don't want it, then don't ask for it. Why are you looking at me? I don't have any money to give you anyway."
In an instant, Chu Mingfeng took the money and walked towards the gate of the community.
Chuchu was helpless at this moment and could only pray silently in her heart that her second brother could pick her up at the door.
Su Rong appeared at a really bad time.
Afterwards, Su Rong asked Chu Chu, "Do you live here?"
There was a hint of surprise in Su Rong's tone, and he looked Chu Chu up and down, as if he was puzzled by her appearance in this high-end community.
She raised her head lazily, with a look of indifference in her eyes, and seemed to hide a little emotion. She softly said, "Well, 601." The words were short and direct, and her tone revealed a sense of "What's so strange about this?" It was obvious that she didn't buy into Su Rong's curiosity.
After hearing this, Su Rong's eyes flashed with surprise, and then a playful smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. He said jokingly: "What a coincidence, I live in 602. I didn't expect you could afford a house here."
Chu Chu heard this and a complicated smile appeared on her lips. There was both self-mockery and a bit of indifference in that smile. She replied leisurely: "It's okay, I can barely afford it."
Su Rong obviously hadn't expected Chu Chu to respond so bluntly. He was slightly taken aback, but then he became even more interested and decided to dig deeper into the subject: "So, you were so proactive in approaching me before. Did you have any special 'plans'? I have to be frank. I don't intend to let a relationship hinder my studies and future during my four years of college. So you'd better not have any thoughts on me, so as to avoid embarrassing everyone."
Su Rong didn't seem to be willing to let this topic go easily. He pressed the issue further, "Then what was your intention in deliberately approaching me before? I have to state in advance that I have no plans to fall in love during my university years. Don't waste your time on me."
Chu Chu was amused by this and couldn't help but burst out laughing, with a sly glint in her eyes: "Haha, what a coincidence, me too. We are like-minded."
Chuchu's phone rang suddenly. She glanced at the screen and knew it was her second brother, Chu Lei, calling. She sighed softly, stood up, trying not to let Su Rong hear, and walked to the side to answer the phone: "Hello, second brother?"
"Chu Chu, where are you now? I have driven to the gate of the community where you live." Chu Lei's voice on the other end of the phone was a little urgent.
Chu Chu turned around and looked at Su Rong, who was not far away and had not yet gone upstairs. She could not help but answer with a headache: "Second brother, he was originally at my place, but he just left. Now I think he has reached the gate. He is a very slovenly old man. Did you see him?"
"Oh, then I'll wait and see, maybe I can meet him." There was some understanding in Chu Lei's voice.
Chu Chu rubbed her eyebrows helplessly, thinking to herself: Su Rong, Su Rong, you came at a really bad time.
She quickly typed on her phone and sent a message to Zhao Qing and the others: "Girls, there's been a slight change. I saw the delivery man has already gone up. You guys should enjoy your food first. I have something to take care of here, so I'll probably be back in half an hour. I'm so sorry!"
After sending the message, Chuchu no longer hesitated and ran quickly towards the gate of the community. She just hoped that Su Rong would be more sensible and not cause trouble at this time.
On the other side, Su Rong was confused by Chu Chu's series of actions. He scratched his head and finally pressed the elevator button.
…
Chu Chu ran breathlessly to the gate of the community and saw her second brother's car parked there quietly. She opened the back door and got in, sitting side by side with her second brother Chu Lei. Seeing this, the driver immediately understood and pulled up the partition, creating a relatively private space for the two of them.
"Alas, I originally wanted to keep him, but a Cheng Yaojin showed up unexpectedly and a classmate came to visit, so I had no choice but to let him go." Chu Chu sighed and explained to Chu Lei, "He's probably hiding in some corner now."
Chu Lei smiled softly when he heard this, and reached out to touch Chu Chu's hair lovingly, "Don't worry, he will show up again. But you, why haven't you gone home yet, and why are you having a party in the apartment?"
Chu Chu curled her lips and said helplessly, "I just wanted to get together with my classmates. Who knew it would be such a coincidence that I would meet your dad?"
Chu Lei smiled and shook his head, ruffling her hair again, "Silly girl, isn't he your father too?"
Chu Chu chuckled, "I forgot all about it."
A trace of worry appeared between Chuchu's eyebrows: "I should choose a time to go home and visit Uncle Gu. His health is still not recovering well, and Mom is also worried..."
