73 Meeting an Old Acquaintance
When Shen Hanyu woke up, Sang Qianqian was no longer by his side.
He hurried downstairs and Shen Shaofeng came in from outside. “Miss Sang just left.”
Shen Hanyu took the car keys and said, “I’ll come back to see you another day.” 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 didn’t see Sang Qianqian.
Yushui Bay was a villa area, so it wasn’t easy to call for a taxi. Logically, she wouldn’t leave so quickly and would have to wait for a taxi.
His speed wasn’t 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 didn’t 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 girl’s 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. “How did you know I was here, President Shen?”
Her eyes were red. She had obviously cried.
Shen Hanyu was silent for a moment. “Do you want to go in and take a look?”
“Can I?”
Sang Qianqian was pleasantly surprised. However, in the next moment, she thought of something and her eyes dimmed. “Forget it. There should be someone living inside; It’s impolite.”
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. “President Shen, it’s better not to knock on the door. It’s already so late, it’s not good to trouble others… ”
Furthermore, if the other party didn’t allow them to enter, it would be awkward.
Shen Hanyu looked at her and said, “No trouble at all. This is my… It’s a friend’s place, and no one’s living here.”
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. “President Shen.”
His gaze fell on Sang Qianqian’s face and he was so shocked that his face turned pale. “Young… Young Miss?”
Sang Qianqian was also stunned. “Uncle Qu Jiang?”
Qu Jiang used to be the Sang family’s 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 family’s old residence!
There was a need to explain how she came back from the dead. Qu Jiang couldn’t help but wipe his tears emotionally. “It’s good that Young Miss is still alive…”
Sang Qianqian asked curiously, “Uncle Qu, why are you still here?”
Qu Jiang subconsciously looked at Shen Hanyu. “I-I…”
“My friend who bought this house coincidentally invited him.”
Shen Hanyu replied calmly, “He’s overseas, so Uncle Qu has been staying here to look after his house.”
Qu Jiang immediately nodded his head. “Yes, yes, yes. The new owner treats me very well. It’s just that he’s always overseas and doesn’t come back all year round, so he asked me to help take care of the house.”
Sang Qianqian was enlightened. “So that’s how it is.”
“Can we go in and take a look?” Shen Hanyu asked.
“Yes, of course you can!”
Qu Jiang opened the door eagerly. “President Shen, Young Miss, please come in quickly.”
Sang Qianqian felt that it was such a coincidence that the person who bought the Sang family’s 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 family’s Villa didn’t 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 weren’t 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.
“Young Miss, do you want to come in and take a look?” Qu Jiang said very enthusiastically.
Sang Qianqian thought for a moment. “Let’s not.”
After all, it was someone else’s 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. “Young Miss, please come by more in the future.”
Sang Qianqian smiled and said, “One visit is enough. I don’t have to come often.”
Qu Jiang said, “Young Miss, you can come here whenever you want in the future. This place…”
He held it in for a while. “Nobody’s living here anyway. Additionally, the new owner won’t be back for a while.”
Sang Qianqian nodded and said, “Uncle Qu, take care of your health. I’ll come and see you again if I have the chance.”
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 Qianqian’s heart felt warm. She turned to look at the man beside her who was focused on driving and said softly, “Thank you for today.”
“It’s nothing,” Shen Hanyu replied calmly.
“Who is that friend of yours?”
Sang Qianqian couldn’t help but ask, “Why didn’t he live in the Sang family’s old residence after buying it? The decorations in the garden haven’t changed much.”
Shen Hanyu was silent for two seconds before he said, “He’s a friend in the business field. You don’t know him.”
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 weren’t short of money.
It wasn’t 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.
“Sang Qianqian.” Shen Hanyu suddenly called her name. “Do you have any plans for tomorrow?” he asked in a low voice.
Sang Qianqian was slightly taken aback. She didn’t expect Shen Hanyu to suddenly ask her this question.
“If you’re free, I’ll take you around.”
Shen Hanyu met the girl’s gaze and said indifferently, “Just take it as a reward for Dr. Sang’s treatment.”
“Ming City has changed a lot in the past five years,” 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 wasn’t around.
She must be homesick. Otherwise, her eyes wouldn’t have turned red just from looking at the Sang family’s 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.
“I still have some business lessons to review tomorrow. Thank you, President Shen.” Sang Qianqian declined.
Shen Hanyu looked at her calmly and nodded without saying anything. Sang Qianqian didn’t expect that she would reject Shen Hanyu.
When she got home, Rong Yan called her again. “Sister Qianqian, it’s the weekend tomorrow. Let’s go out and have fun together! I’ll cry if you reject me!”
Sang Qianqian was speechless.
