A month later, Shen's father called.
Shen's father didn't say much else, only saying, "You've played long enough, it's time to come back."
Ahri played for two more days before packing up and going home.
When they returned, neither Shen Changyue nor Wan Ning were there.
A cup of tea was placed in front of Shen's father; the tea was still hot.
The butler took the suitcase from Ali, and Ali sat down in front of Shen's father.
Shen's father looked at Ali and said, "Mo Yanqing has a boyfriend, and they have even met each other's parents."
Ahri's fingers twitched slightly. Not bad, this person is fast. They've found a partner so quickly.
Shen's father added, "He also took back the elevator card he gave you."
Ah Li didn't find it strange; it was perfectly normal for that person to want to take his things back.
"Oh, right, there's one more thing I wanted you to come back for. There's a business partner whose son is about your age. His family wants to find him a partner, so you should go and meet him first."
Ah Li obediently replied, "Yes, Father."
Father Shen was very satisfied with Ali's appearance. She was not sad or disappointed at all, unlike what his daughter had said about her loving Mo Yanqing.
Ah Li stood up and said, "Father, I'll go back to my room now."
Father Shen then said, "Wait a minute, I bought you a new cell phone and put a new SIM card in it."
Ah Li looked at the phone she was using and said, "Thank you, Father. I was just thinking of getting a new one too."
The butler then brought over a new phone. He looked at the old phone in Ahri's hand and said, "Miss, try this one."
"good."
Ahri put her old phone aside and took the new phone from the butler.
The butler reached out to take away Ahri's original phone.
Ali didn't give it to him. Instead, she said to Shen's father, "Father, there are some photos I've taken recently in here. Can I transfer them to my new phone?"
Father Shen agreed: "Okay."
After Ah Li transferred the photos from her album to her new phone, she handed the phone to the housekeeper and said, "This phone's system is not good; it's prone to lagging."
The butler said, "I'll have someone take a look."
Ahri then took the new phone upstairs.
After Ah Li came upstairs, Shen's father asked the housekeeper to open Ah Li's phone and check her call history and recent contacts on WeChat.
The housekeeper looked around and found nothing; it was very clean, except for some messages from public accounts, article promotions, and messages from some classmates' groups.
"The young lady has very few contacts."
Because Shen's father had told the original owner that everyone else was unimportant, and only Mo Yanqing was someone she should get to know and befriend.
Therefore, the original owner would delete friends from time to time.
Mr. Shen asked, "Is Mo Yanqing on WeChat?"
The butler glanced at it. "No."
I don't have many WeChat friends, only a dozen or so. A few of them are in the beauty and nail salon business or sell clothes, and most of them have female profile pictures.
Mr. Shen asked the housekeeper to bring him the phone so he could take a look at it himself.
As a result, when Shen's father took the phone, the screen flickered a few times, then a few white lines appeared before it went black.
Mr. Shen pressed the power button, but there was no response.
The housekeeper said from the side, "This is probably what Miss was talking about, that there's a problem with the phone's system. I'll take it to get it fixed."
"Yes, it's fixed. Send it to Changyue."
This time, as soon as Shen Changyue returned, she insisted that Shen Changli must have been secretly contacting Mo Yanqing, and that Mo Yanqing had a special relationship with Shen Changli.
Shen Changyue also tried to snatch Ali's phone. She wanted to use Ali's original phone to contact Mo Yanqing, saying she would prove that Mo Yanqing treated Ali differently.
Now, Shen's father has switched Ah Li's phone with his own. He looks at the quiet second floor and wonders, "So, does Mo Yanqing really care about this person?"
Ah Li held her new phone, looking at the scenery photos she had taken earlier. She selected the best ones, registered a new WeChat account, and posted on her Moments: "[Everything is a new beginning...hehe.]"
Ahri has no WeChat friends, so she likes her own posts.
The phone was working fine until Ahri did something sneaky and infected it with a virus, which hacked it.
Later, it couldn't be started anymore.
There are some things that Ahri doesn't want others to discover, especially her phone, which contains a lot of private information.
Ahri sighed; it was another day she wanted to leave this house.
Ahri went to take a shower and change clothes, and found that her skin tone seemed to be much darker than before.
Although I wear sunscreen, it's normal to get tanned since I'm at the beach every day.
Ahri quickly tidied herself up and then put on a face mask.
Five days later, Shen's father sent Ah Li out.
He went out to meet the son of the Shen family's business partner, whom he had mentioned earlier.
Ahri didn't refuse; she agreed.
To make Ah Li look even better, Shen's father even sent someone to their home to do Ah Li's makeup, styling, and hair.
Throughout the entire process, it was clear that Mr. Shen took the person quite seriously.
After Ah Li finished dressing up, Shen's father wasn't very satisfied. He said, "This matchmaking can't afford any mistakes. Only if you successfully win them over will they continue to cooperate with the Shen family. Do you understand?"
"Them"? Wasn't it him?
Ah Li panicked when she realized that there was more than one person she was going to see.
When Shen's father realized that Ah Li had understood, he didn't explain and took Ah Li out.
In a private room perfectly suited for business discussions, Ali sat next to Shen's father, a reasonably polite smile on her face.
The people in the room all looked to be around the same age as Shen's father, some even looked older, none of them were the same age as Ali.
