Chapter 233 Familiar Streets
At this moment, Tang Yitong called. Su Yan picked up the phone and asked, “How was it? Did you have a good time these two days?”
She felt that Tang Yitong would call or video call her at least two or three times a day. Wasn’t she afraid that Chai Xingyu would be jealous?
Hearing her say that, Tang Yitong snorted and said, “What? You’re my only true love, okay? Tonight, the two of us are preparing to eat Mandarin Duck Hotpot, so I wanted to ask if you would like to join us? Let me tell you, the ingredients are all from Chuan City. The taste is absolutely authentic.”
Su Yan looked up at the sky. She had gone out at around two o’clock in the afternoon, and the sky was already starting to darken. When she thought about how she had to cook dinner when she went back, she smiled and said, “You two lovebirds are so generous. If I refuse, will you guys be angry?” Tang Yitong said, “Oh, my dear, don’t tell me that you don’t love me at all? If it weren’t for you, I wouldn’t even be able to enjoy the hotpot.”!!
Su Yan teased, “To be honest, I don’t love you anymore. But… it seems that there’s really nothing to eat tonight. Seeing that you’re so sincere, I’ll reluctantly go over and have a meal with you.”
Tang Yitong said, “Alright, Queen Su will be coming, so I’ll go prepare some delicious dishes now. I’ll definitely let Queen Su have a feast tonight.”
Su Yan smiled and said, “Alright, good night.”
The two of them chatted for a while before hanging up the phone. Since she had decided to freeload for a meal, Su Yan could only return and rent a motorbike. It wasn’t that she didn’t want to take a taxi, but during Spring Festival, the whole country was in a state of festivity. Occasionally, she would see a few taxis on the streets, but they all had customers.
Feng City West, Fumin District.
Su Yan was already nostalgic enough, but Tang Yitong and Chai Xingyu were more nostalgic than her. Even the house they bought was near the bungalow they used to live in when they were young. This place was relatively remote and far from the downtown area. After driving for a full hour, she finally arrived at Fumin District.
It was already five or six o’clock and the sky had completely darkened. Su Yan looked for a return station nearby. After scanning the code and paying, she went to the address that Tang Yitong had sent her.
She was really too familiar with this place. All kinds of memories from the past surfaced. Back then, the day her parents had an accident, she was on the street nearby. At that time, she heard from the nearby residents that something had happened to the couple. She had just woken up from her afternoon nap, and she didn’t have time to change her clothes. She rushed out in pajamas. At that time, she was extremely flustered and scared. She didn’t know how she came down the stairs. She only remembered that she fell on the second floor and then dropped a slipper. However, she didn’t have the time to look for a slipper at that time. She simply didn’t wear the other slipper and ran out barefoot.
When she arrived at the scene of the accident, she saw a mess. She remembered very clearly that it was snowing that day. She stepped on the ground barefooted, but she didn’t feel the slightest bit of cold or chill. She only felt fear in her heart.
She kept telling herself to be tough, because fear was useless, and her parents couldn’t come back. This was the first time she was alone in the mortuary while keeping vigil. For the first time, she was alone in front of the incinerator and watching two familiar bodies being burned to ashes.
At that time, the neighbor who lived across the street often asked her how much the insurance company had paid. She said one million for each person and two million for two people. When they heard her say this, the neighbor’s envious eyes and expression seemed to say, “Child, you’ve become rich”.
It was also because of this money that she had a foundation for development. From scratch, she went into the business world and step by step, she got to where she was today.
Although she was now a low-key rich woman who didn’t have to worry about food and clothing, and enjoyed endless wealth and prosperity, if she was given a chance to start over, she would definitely choose to let her parents live healthy lives instead of having the insurance company compensate her with two million yuan after they were hit by a car and killed. What was the use of such a large sum of money? At her age, she didn’t even have a home.
While crossing the familiar and deserted street, she saw that the security guard was eating dumplings and drinking wine. He didn’t notice that someone had entered the neighborhood. It was only when Su Yan knocked on the window of the security room that the security guard saw her.
The security guard opened the window. “Hey, it’s cold outside. Why aren’t you at home? By the way, you don’t look familiar.”
Although the security guard was a middle-aged man in his fifties, he was stunned by Su Yan’s beauty. He even sobered up from the alcohol he had just drunk. As a security guard, he had seen too many people every day, but it was the first time he had seen someone as good-looking as Su Yan in so many years. He just didn’t know which family was so lucky to have such a young and beautiful daughter.
