More than half a month had passed, and Su Jinyu's mind was still echoing with the man's sarcastic words "a skinny toad wants to eat swan flesh". She was so angry that she even forgot the time when Shen Jing'an returned to the Shen Mansion from the hospital.
And Aunt Wu's ship is about to arrive.
Su Jinyu showed up in Shen Jing'an's room, found an excuse and left.
Looking at her emaciated son lying on the bed, Mrs. Shen's eyes were red. "What kind of daughter-in-law did you marry? What kind of daughter-in-law would leave her injured husband alone and hang out outside every day?"
Shen Jingan rubbed his earlobes. He had heard many complaints from his mother these days. "I've said it many times. She is just an ordinary rich girl. She has a lot of things to do... She found the culprit in the last bombing, so I was spared from this punishment."
"That's not how she cares about you," Mrs. Shen said, "I won't tell you anything else. Think about it carefully. Has she been acting like a wife these days? Does she have any feelings for you?"
"Even if Wang Manrou's matter disturbed your happiness, it has been more than a month, and she should have calmed down. Now you still sleep in the same room. Is this normal?"
"It's better to be like that bitch Manrou. At least her heart is with you..."
"Mom, stop talking."
Not knowing whether he was hit on the head or just felt it was noisy, Shen Jingan frowned and looked dull.
"Don't say these things in the future, Jinyu, please listen to me."
Mrs. Shen was about to say a few more words when the door was pushed open. The third concubine's face showed a mixture of joy and worry.
She thought about it and moved closer to Mrs. Shen's ear.
Mrs. Shen glanced at the person on the bed and came back to her senses after a while.
"What's the matter?" Shen Jing'an looked back at his mother.
The three of them chatted in secret for a long time in the room.
Su Jinyu was delayed for some time because she went to visit Shen Jingan, and when she arrived at the pier, it was already late.
Standing on the pier, the sea breeze with its salty and fishy scent blows towards your face.
She tightened her fringed shawl around her and looked between the two passenger ships.
Qing Ru advised, "Miss, it's windy here. Aunt Wu and we just happened to miss each other on the road and went to Shen Mansion."
Su Jinyu shook her head, "Aunt Wu knew that I would definitely come to pick her up, so she would leave."
While patrolling, his eyes fell on a conspicuous cargo ship in the distance.
The ship's waterline was clearly deeper than normal, and the water on the deck was rippling with activity, waiting in anticipation.
I once heard Uncle Lin, the steward, talk about some things about shipping. Cargo ships on the sea would be gone for a month or even several months without coming ashore. There was a lack of supplies on the ships, and those sailors would go looking for food as soon as they landed.
There are also some young and strong men who, when they see a woman, they want to rush over to her.
녦These people...
His eyes were squinting and his mind was tense.
She recalled what happened on the day her ex-aunt Wu arrived. At the time, she was so overwhelmed by the issue of her pregnancy that she didn't care about anything else outside.
However, the passenger ship that Aunt Wu was on at the time seemed to have been robbed, so she called the police, but after some questioning, she was let go and returned to Jinfeng Tower.
Qingru went to the passenger ship to inquire and said to Su Jinyu, "Aunt Wu should still be on the ship... She said that someone's valuables were stolen, and a lot of police came and blocked the scene. No one can leave."
Su Jinyu introduced himself and boarded the passenger ship.
There were many police officers on the passenger ship, who were questioning everyone, searching their bodies, and checking their luggage.
Wang Pengyuan, the captain in charge of theft on the ship, saw Su Jinyu and immediately stepped forward and asked politely, "Why are you here, Miss?"
Su Jinyu glanced at him, but had no impression of him. "Do you recognize me?"
"I recognize them," Wang Pengyuan said respectfully, bending over. "I led the team to handle the incident at Linglong Theater, and I was lucky enough to see the Marshal and the Miss."
Su Jinyu nodded lightly.
Seeing her looking around, Wang Pengyuan asked, "Miss, are you here to look for someone?"
"Well, my aunt is on this ship today, I'm here to pick her up."
Su Jinyu's gaze fell on a man in police uniform in the distance.
This is a brand new police uniform, as straight as a knife, and the bronze stars on the epaulettes glow coldly in the twilight.
The belt around his waist showed off his thin waistline, and the cross-body holster swayed slightly as he turned around.
The brim of the hat cast a shadow on his face, but it covered his beautiful eyes.
He straightened the brim of his hat, revealing his well-defined jawline, and his mouth was pursed into a straight line, revealing a somewhat inhuman coldness.
Unexpectedly, after we parted at the hospital, this man really put on a police uniform.
The solemn police uniform weakened the refinement of his facial features, making him look more upright and handsome.
His appearance caused several women to blush and whisper to each other, and they all moved towards him.
Su Jinyu thought of his "toad" remarks and became furious.
He clearly classified himself as one of those women who threw themselves at him and coveted his beauty.
Thinking of the reason why I came to the dock today, I wanted to spend more time with him.
Noticing Wang Shan's gaze, Zhou Youchen turned around and saw the graceful and slender woman.
He withdrew his gaze calmly and continued his search.
A woman stood in front of him. Seeing the man like this, her cheeks turned red. She obediently took out all her things and said coquettishly, "Officer, do you want a body search?"
Before Zhou Youchen could say anything, the police officer next to him joked, "This is the first time I've seen someone actively asking for a body search... Big sister, we are legitimate police officers. If we search you like this, we will be reported."
As he said this, he asked the women to search each other.
Su Jinyu felt a little bored because she didn't see anyone suffering.
Aunt Wu was soon brought over by Wang Pengyuan.
Aunt Wu is now in her twenties, with fair skin, good blood and energy, and is a very good-looking woman.
Aunt Wu has always been my grandfather's daughter. Three generations before her have worked in my grandfather's family. She has been with my mother since she was a child, and later came to my mother's side and took care of her wholeheartedly.
To everyone, Su Jinyu never treated Aunt Wu as an outsider, but as her own aunt.
"Miss……"
Su Jinyu held Aunt Wu's hair, and it looked as dry and rough as the hair of a poor family. It seemed that she had not suffered much since returning to her grandfather's house.
She said crisply, "Auntie Wu"
Aunt Wu patted her on the back and said softly, "I'm fine, I just delayed some time. Are you worried?"
Su Jinyu was bright and beautiful, but had a pair of extremely clear eyes. When she smiled, she looked like a child who had not yet grown out of his childishness. She was about to leave holding Aunt Wu's arm when she saw the people on the deck of the opposite cargo ship finally move.
She always felt something was strange.
She waved to the captain Wang Pengyuan, who bowed and said, "Miss, what can I do for you?"
Su Jinyu pointed to the cargo ship on the opposite side and said, "Whose cargo ship is this? It's so late and you're starting to unload the cargo."
