73 Meeting an Old Acquaintancen/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
When Shen Hanyu woke up, Sang Qianqian was no longer by his side.
He hurried downstairs and Shen Shaofeng came in from outside. âMiss Sang just left.â
Shen Hanyu took the car keys and said, âIâll come back to see you another day.â Then, he turned and strode away.
Shen Shaofeng shook his head. These young people were certainly persistent. Sigh, he was old. He should let the young people deal with their matters. He no longer had the energy to be involved.
Shen Hanyu drove out but didnât see Sang Qianqian.
!!
Yushui Bay was a villa area, so it wasnât easy to call for a taxi. Logically, she wouldnât leave so quickly and would have to wait for a taxi.
His speed wasnât considered slow. After driving one round, he was about to leave the villa district. Not only did he not see Sang Qianqian, but he also didnât see any taxi.
Thinking of where she was, Shen Hanyu turned around and went to Villa No. 1 at Yushui Bay.
Sure enough, from afar, he saw the girlâs figure standing outside the black carved gate, staring at the villa in a daze.
He parked his car and slowly walked over to Sang Qianqian.
The girl turned around when she heard footsteps. Seeing that it was Shen Hanyu, she forced a smile. âHow did you know I was here, President Shen?â
Her eyes were red. She had obviously cried.
Shen Hanyu was silent for a moment. âDo you want to go in and take a look?â
âCan I?â
Sang Qianqian was pleasantly surprised. However, in the next moment, she thought of something and her eyes dimmed. âForget it. There should be someone living inside; Itâs impolite.â
The lights outside the villa were still on. Although the garden was still the same as five years ago, the flowers and plants were growing well. It was obvious that someone had taken care of it regularly.
She really wanted to revisit the old place, but the new master might not be willing to. However, Shen Hanyu had already raised his hand and rang the doorbell.
Sang Qianqian was getting nervous. âPresident Shen, itâs better not to knock on the door. Itâs already so late, itâs not good to trouble others⦠â
Furthermore, if the other party didnât allow them to enter, it would be awkward.
Shen Hanyu looked at her and said, âNo trouble at all. This is my⦠Itâs a friendâs place, and no oneâs living here.â
Sang Qianqian heaved a sigh of relief. Soon, someone came and opened the door.
It was a middle-aged man in his fifties. He obviously knew Shen Hanyu, so he saluted him respectfully. âPresident Shen.â
His gaze fell on Sang Qianqianâs face and he was so shocked that his face turned pale. âYoung⦠Young Miss?â
Sang Qianqian was also stunned. âUncle Qu Jiang?â
Qu Jiang used to be the Sang familyâs chauffeur.
That year, when Xia Sitong had encountered the drunkard and Sang Qianqian had tried to save her, it was Qu Jiang who had asked Shen Hanyu to help dress her wound and then followed her to the police station to record her statement.
When the Sang family moved away, they sold the old house, dismissed the servants, and only took Mr. Zhong with them.
Although Qu Jiang was reluctant, he had no choice but to find another place.
Sang Qianqian would never have thought that after five years, he would still be in the Sang familyâs old residence!
There was a need to explain how she came back from the dead. Qu Jiang couldnât help but wipe his tears emotionally. âItâs good that Young Miss is still aliveâ¦â
Sang Qianqian asked curiously, âUncle Qu, why are you still here?â
Qu Jiang subconsciously looked at Shen Hanyu. âI-Iâ¦â
âMy friend who bought this house coincidentally invited him.â
Shen Hanyu replied calmly, âHeâs overseas, so Uncle Qu has been staying here to look after his house.â
Qu Jiang immediately nodded his head. âYes, yes, yes. The new owner treats me very well. Itâs just that heâs always overseas and doesnât come back all year round, so he asked me to help take care of the house.â
Sang Qianqian was enlightened. âSo thatâs how it is.â
âCan we go in and take a look?â Shen Hanyu asked.
âYes, of course you can!â
Qu Jiang opened the door eagerly. âPresident Shen, Young Miss, please come in quickly.â
Sang Qianqian felt that it was such a coincidence that the person who bought the Sang familyâs old house had coincidentally invited Uncle Qu.
What made her even more curious was that even after five years, the grass and trees in the garden of the Sang familyâs Villa didnât seem to have moved at all. They were exactly the same as in her memory.
Even the swing under the Phoenix flower tree was still there, gently floating with the night wind. Perhaps, it was because the owner lived abroad and the butler was Uncle Qu that the garden of the house could remain the same.
After returning to the old place, there werenât many changes. Sang Qianqian was really glad.
Her mood had been a little low, but seeing that the old estate was still the same as it had been in the past, she inexplicably felt better.
âYoung Miss, do you want to come in and take a look?â Qu Jiang said very enthusiastically.
Sang Qianqian thought for a moment. âLetâs not.â
After all, it was someone elseâs place and it involved personal space. She was already very happy to be able to walk around in the garden.
When she left with Shen Hanyu, Qu Jiang sent them off. He looked at Shen Hanyu and then at Sang Qianqian. âYoung Miss, please come by more in the future.â
Sang Qianqian smiled and said, âOne visit is enough. I donât have to come often.â
Qu Jiang said, âYoung Miss, you can come here whenever you want in the future. This placeâ¦â
He held it in for a while. âNobodyâs living here anyway. Additionally, the new owner wonât be back for a while.â
Sang Qianqian nodded and said, âUncle Qu, take care of your health. Iâll come and see you again if I have the chance.â
She and Shen Hanyu returned to the car and drove off. When they turned around, Uncle Qu was still standing outside the carved iron gate, waving at them.
Sang Qianqianâs heart felt warm. She turned to look at the man beside her who was focused on driving and said softly, âThank you for today.â
âItâs nothing,â Shen Hanyu replied calmly.
âWho is that friend of yours?â
Sang Qianqian couldnât help but ask, âWhy didnât he live in the Sang familyâs old residence after buying it? The decorations in the garden havenât changed much.â
Shen Hanyu was silent for two seconds before he said, âHeâs a friend in the business field. You donât know him.â
Sang Qianqian thought about it and agreed. Shen Hanyu was one of the top entrepreneurs in the country, and he had many rich friends in the business world who werenât short of money.
It wasnât a rare thing to buy a villa and not stay in it.
When Shen Hanyu walked her to her apartment, Sang Qianqian thanked him and was about to get out of the car.
âSang Qianqian.â Shen Hanyu suddenly called her name. âDo you have any plans for tomorrow?â he asked in a low voice.
Sang Qianqian was slightly taken aback. She didnât expect Shen Hanyu to suddenly ask her this question.
âIf youâre free, Iâll take you around.â
Shen Hanyu met the girlâs gaze and said indifferently, âJust take it as a reward for Dr. Sangâs treatment.â
âMing City has changed a lot in the past five years,â he continued after a pause.
She was originally a pampered young lady, but because of him, she came to Ming City from Yuecheng alone. There was no one to take care of her, and Wen Xu wasnât around.
She must be homesick. Otherwise, her eyes wouldnât have turned red just from looking at the Sang familyâs villa.
Sang Qianqian had also realized that Ming City had changed a lot. She wanted to go around, but it felt a little weird for Shen Hanyu to accompany her.
âI still have some business lessons to review tomorrow. Thank you, President Shen.â Sang Qianqian declined.
Shen Hanyu looked at her calmly and nodded without saying anything. Sang Qianqian didnât expect that she would reject Shen Hanyu.
When she got home, Rong Yan called her again. âSister Qianqian, itâs the weekend tomorrow. Letâs go out and have fun together! Iâll cry if you reject me!â
Sang Qianqian was speechless.
