Chapter 45 is a phone call from Gu Yuheng.
Su Niannian dragged her suitcase and wandered aimlessly on the street for half a day.
You can't go to Grandma's.
She pulled her luggage without warning. If she went past this hour, her grandmother would definitely become suspicious and ask her what had happened.
If Grandma knew the truth, she would be worried to death.
Before I knew it, I had wandered into a night market.
The lively, bustling sounds of people filled her ears.
Su Niannian then realized that she hadn't eaten dinner yet, and she had no appetite at all.
But the baby in the belly must be hungry.
She is not alone now; she is also a mother of two.
She has to be strong for her baby's sake.
So Su Niannian went to a wonton stall and asked the owner to cook her a bowl of fresh pork wontons.
"Young lady, would you like some chili oil?" the owner asked, scooping up a bowl of wontons.
"Add a little..." Su Niannian changed her mind and said, "No need to add anything, just some cilantro will do."
I don't know if I can eat chili peppers while pregnant, so just to be on the safe side, I'd better not.
Su Niannian found a corner spot and ate her wontons in silence.
The wontons in the bowl were round and plump, with thin wrappers and generous fillings, squeezing together in the white porcelain bowl like little piglets.
The image of Gu Yuheng taking her to eat wontons that day gradually surfaced in Su Niannian's mind.
He pretended to be gentle and considerate, even claiming she was his only woman, but the very next day he slept with another woman.
It really proves the saying that a man's words are always deceitful.
She's so naive to actually believe what men say.
With red eyes, Su Niannian mistook the wontons for Gu Yuheng and ate them heartily before picking up her luggage and leaving.
Gu Yuheng had given her a card before, but Su Niannian usually lived and ate at the villa and didn't need the money.
So I never checked it out.
When she checked her bank card at the ATM, she was shocked by what she found.
Gu Yuheng said he would give her 50,000 yuan in pocket money every month, which would be 600,000 yuan a year. However, there was 1 million yuan in her account at that time.
This sum of money was no small amount for Su Niannian; she had never received such a large sum in her life. Seeing so much money, Gu Yuheng, as the boss, was quite generous.
Su Niannian decided not to scold him anymore.
With this money, she could rent a house, settle down first, and then slowly make plans.
Behind the university town, there are many old residential areas for rent. Even at night, landlords will come over immediately to sign contracts after receiving a call.
Su Niannian rented a house near the vegetable market. It was a single-story house with two bedrooms, and the furnishings were very simple.
It has a bed, a wardrobe, a dining table, a water heater, and an air conditioner.
Su Niannian doesn't ask for much; she's already quite satisfied with these things.
The landlady immediately recognized Su Niannian as a student from a nearby university.
He cautioned, "Young lady, the walls in this old neighborhood are quite thin and not very soundproof. If you bring your boyfriend back, be careful at night, otherwise the neighbors will complain and report me to the community, and then I won't be able to let you rent anymore."
Su Niannian blushed and handed the signed contract to the landlord.
"Don't worry, I don't have a boyfriend, I live alone."
The female homeowner was finally relieved.
The previous tenant would bring men back every few days, which caused her to receive constant complaints from the neighbors. Eventually, the complaints even reached the mayor's hotline. She didn't want to encounter that kind of tenant again and cause herself trouble.
After the female homeowner left.
Su Niannian tidied up the room, put her luggage in the closet, took a shower, and lay down on the bed to rest, feeling exhausted.
At this moment, she felt a weariness spreading through her body and mind.
She stared at the incandescent light on the ceiling for a long while, then gently stroked her lower abdomen with her fair fingers.
Although the baby is still very small, she can truly feel their presence.
Su Niannian gently closed her eyes, her chest rising and falling slightly. With the baby by her side, Su Niannian didn't feel lonely at all.
She felt an unprecedented surge of courage from the bottom of her heart; she was determined to protect herself and her babies.

The next morning, a loud "thud" was heard as a heavy object fell from a great height.
Su Niannian was awakened by the noise. She opened her sleepy eyes and realized that the sound was coming from in front of her balcony door.
The apartment she rented had a security door on the north-facing balcony, which was also a place to enter and exit, in addition to the main door in the building.
She changed her clothes, went to the balcony, and opened the security door by the handle.
On the steps in front of the door, there was a half-eaten takeout meal spread out.
The spicy hot pot broth inside splashed all around.
It's hot in the summer, and in just a short time, flies are already buzzing around.
Su Niannian frowned as she looked at the scene before her, feeling that the person who littered had no sense of public morality.
This is not just an environmental problem; it's practically throwing objects from a high-rise building.
If it were thrown from such a height, it would definitely injure someone if it hit them.
This old residential area is at least thirty years old. There is no property management or surveillance cameras. They usually collect a cleaning fee and hire some old men to come and sweep it casually.
It's difficult to find out which family threw it, but since the building only has four floors, it must be one of the residents on the second, third, or fourth floor.
Unable to determine who threw it, Su Niannian could only sweep up the trash and then go inside.
In the afternoon, she went to the nearby farmers' market and bought some vegetables, meat, and kitchen utensils to cook for herself.
As she walked up to the top of the building carrying her things, she caught a glimpse of a head peeking out from the fourth-floor balcony.
The man was holding a trash bag. After checking that no one was around, he threw the trash bag down.
The garbage bags on the ground were the same color as in the morning.
It's still takeout with soup in it.
A small flame was ignited in Su Niannian's heart, and she put the things she bought home.
Take the dustpan outside and sweep the trash inside.
Turn around and go to the fourth floor.
She raised her hand and knocked twice on the door.
Footsteps could be heard coming from inside.
Then the door opened from the inside.
Without saying a word, Su Niannian returned the trash to its rightful owner, dumping all the takeout containers, including the soup containers, into the room.
"I picked up your things that you lost. Please take good care of them in the future and don't leave them lying around."
"Su Niannian?" Jian Ran inside looked at her in surprise: "How come it's you?"
Su Niannian looked at the person in front of her, searched her memory, and then remembered that she was Su Xin's classmate, Jian Ran.
"I really am your nemesis. I can go wherever I want, it's none of your business."
Jian Ran didn't react at first, but after seeing the disgusting garbage on the ground...
He said to Su Niannian, "Su Niannian, hurry up and sweep all this trash away."
Su Niannian looked at her coldly: "Don't even think about it, Jian Ran. If you throw any more trash down there, I'll bring it back up for you."
After she finished speaking, she ignored Jian Ran's reaction and went downstairs to go home.
Su Niannian was cutting tomatoes, thinking that she had a special constitution, but she never expected that renting a house would be so closely related to Su Xin.
Jian Ran lives here.
Is Su Xin going to be there too?
If it weren't for paying two months' rent at once...
Su Niannian really wanted to move out immediately; she didn't want to get entangled with them.
A cell phone rang.
Su Niannian put down the kitchen knife, picked up her phone with her fair fingers, and a complex emotion flashed in her eyes.
It was Gu Yuheng calling...
