The writing was quite scratchy, which could be identified as a manâs handwriting at first glance.
â- Tangtang, this is your stuff. Here you are. Iâll be waiting for you at the west gate of your residential area at 7 p.m in the evening. The last three numbers of my license plate is 978.
The note was followed by a string of Arabic numbers, which should be the cell phone number.
âWho is this?â Shu Manâs eyes were full of doubts. Looking at the necklace for a long time, she had no impression of it at all, nor did she really understand why the man sent a necklace here.
âManman, is this your necklace?â Mrs. Shu also asked doubtfully, because she had never seen her daughter wearing such a necklace.
âNo,â Shu Man said.
After that, she put the necklace back in the box. She only had a few necklaces. One was bought by her mother, one by her ex-boyfriend, and another by her sister two days ago.
âHow about giving a call and asking if someone has sent it wrong?â Mrs. Shu thought for a while and said.
Stunned for a while, Shu Man did not dial the number on it.
âCome on, mom, put it away first. This is said to be sent to Tangtang. My pet name was Tangtang when I was little, wasnât it? So it should be sent to me.â
âThen donât go anywhere else in the evening. If you want to go, let me go with you.â Mrs. Shu said with some concern, because they did not know who the other one was.
Shu Man shook her head, saying with cold and firm tone, âI will not go meet this stranger. I donât know him anyway.â There was no need to meet.
Shu Man turned around, walking back to her room. For strangers, she would not choose to trust by instinct, which seemed to be her habit since very little.

At this time, Mo Villa.
Li Qin kept giving orders to this and that maid at home, asking them to clean up the house. There was only one week to New Yearâs Day. After tomorrow, the servants, security guards and drivers at home would all have a holiday. She kept two nannies here with a high salary. There was no other choice for her. After all, there were two children at home and she was not in good health to take care of them.
âWhere is Yuanyuan?â Li Qin asked the nanny beside her. She just saw Yeye playing, but she didnât see Yuanyuan. It was already three oâclock in the afternoon. Usually, the child would have already woken up from the midday nap.
The nanny answered, âYuanyuan has not yet woken up, my lady.â
The child was quite addicted to sleeping these days.
âThen what are you doing out here? Go to the room and keep Yuanyuan in company. When he wakes up, he will cry if he canât see adults around.â Li Qin said with seriousness.
In the childrenâs room, Yuanyuan was sleeping in a childâs bed. He seemed to be sleeping soundly and deeply, even with some sweat coming out on his forehead.
Mo Ye kept shaking the little bed and shouting, âYuanyuan⦠Yuanyuanâ¦â Mo Ye wanted to wake him up and asked him to play with him.
However, no matter how he called him, Yuanyuan kept sleeping.
Wang Juan came in and walked to the small bed, finding that Yuanyuan was still sleeping.
âYuanyuanâ¦â She called out the childâs name but only found that the child did not seem to respond. Meanwhile, she also noticed that the childâs forehead was sweating in a great amount.
She quickly put the back of her hand against the childâs forehead, which made her turn startled and paled all of a sudden.
The child seemed to have a high fever, which almost burnt the back of her hand.
âOld ladyâ¦â The nanny rushed out, anxiety and uneasiness written large on her face. If there was indeed something wrong with the child, she would be fired as a nanny for carelessness.
