"......"
Chen Lu also turned his gaze to the ring, pondered for a long time with a blank expression, and then said:
"I'll probably hesitate for a long time... before I jump."
Jiang Chao chuckled and clicked his tongue twice. "I told you, there are two kinds of people who can't get out of bed together."
Shortly after, the two police officers finished asking their questions and prepared to leave.
Jiang Chao knew these two people, so he personally went downstairs to see them off.
"Xingyan, stop playing in your sister's arms, it's time to go." Shen Xingyan's mother picked up her daughter, who had been clinging to Liang Zhirou, and winked at her husband.
Shen Zizhen understood immediately. He quickly made an excuse to go out and returned a few minutes later, panting, carrying a large pile of fruit and gifts.
"My wife and I knew you wouldn't want anything too expensive, so we bought these in advance."
As he spoke, the man threw a large pile of things next to the coffee table. “We are more than ten years older than you, so we can be considered your elders. Please accept these things and don’t offend us.”
Gifts from elders cannot be returned.
But while these things are said to be inexpensive, upon closer inspection, none of them are cheap.
Liang Zhirou was a little at a loss. Chen Lu seemed to have noticed her earlier, patted her hand, and then got up and took the things from her.
“Since you’ve said that you’re our elder, we definitely have to accept the gift you’re giving us.”
The man chuckled, "Haha, that's more like it."
"Goodbye, sister." Shen Xingyan waved obediently to Liang Zhirou.
"goodbye."
Before leaving, Shen Zizhen glanced around. Although everything was very tidy, it still looked old and worn.
"Is this your own house?" he asked, turning around.
Liang Zhirou shook her head. "It's rented."
Shen Zizhen nodded slightly. After thinking it over, he took out the check he had wanted to give to Liang Zhirou yesterday.
"You saved my daughter, you truly saved my life." He sincerely and politely offered the gift, "Please accept it."
Seeing that Liang Zhirou was still shaking her head, he thought that the girl was a bit naive and didn't know what the concept was, so he turned his gaze to Chen Lu.
As a result, Chen Lu didn't want it either, and didn't even glance at the amount.
"Um, take another look at the amount. I really want to thank you." He said to Chen Lu.
Chen Lu then lowered his eyes and glanced at it.
Wow, 300,000.
He smiled and handed the check back anyway.
"Let's save it for Xingyan's dowry; we can earn it ourselves."
Seeing this, Shen Zizhen didn't know what else to say, and the group had no choice but to take their leave.
The sky had darkened sometime earlier, and Liang Zhirou took the initiative to walk over and turn on the light.
Chen Lu suddenly raised an eyebrow at her, "Shall we have a daughter too?"
"We'll talk about it later." Liang Zhirou shyly brushed a stray hair behind her ear, put on her apron, and headed towards the kitchen.
Chen Lu deliberately mimicked her usual tone of voice and shouted towards the kitchen, "If you don't tell me now, I won't have a child with you!"
The kitchen door slammed shut.
...
"That's 300,000." As they descended the stairs, the woman, hugging Shen Xingyan, muttered with some doubt:
"Why aren't these two young men even raising their eyebrows? Isn't this girl a college dropout?"
"Honey, did we give you too little?"
Shen Zizhen's lips twitched. "If you give them too much, they'll be even more reluctant to accept it."
He was puzzled. Liang Zhirou was one thing, but Chen Lu looked like he had only recently graduated from university, yet he didn't seem interested at all.
Not short of money?
If you're not short of money, why would you stay in a place like this?
Seeing that her husband was also puzzled, the woman, unable to understand, simply stopped thinking about it and said to the little girl:
"Xingyan, didn't Mom say that the older brother your sister likes must be a gentle person? If he doesn't want those gifts either, Dad will be in a difficult position."
"This boy is definitely not simple."
Shen Zizhen suddenly said.
"And I always felt his voice sounded familiar." Shen Zizhen let out a sigh of relief and rubbed her head. "I can't remember."
