Repulse Bay Back Garden

Zhao Chuyu sat in the pavilion with curtains to block the cold wind, looking at the orchids swaying gently in the wind, and thinking about his own problems.

When did the memory become confused?

But no matter how hard she tried to think about it, there was no answer.

Her pair of sparkling and charming eyes gradually became cold, and her charming little face seemed to be covered with frost, without a trace of the tenderness she showed in front of Qi Jinan.

The sunset glow in the distance no longer has the beautiful scenery it once had.

After sitting in the pavilion for less than five minutes, he stood up and walked out with his cell phone.

Standing on the cobblestone path wearing warm flat shoes, looking down at the flowers on both sides, lost in thought.

Did she forget something?

Is it about Granny Jiang or Lulu?

In order to verify his thoughts, he used facial recognition to open his phone and called the landline of the nursing home.

It rang for a while before someone answered, "Hello, who are you looking for?"

It was the voice of the female nurse.

Zhao Chuyu pursed her lips and asked coldly, "Where is Granny Jiang?"

The young nurse holding the landline receiver had been serving the old lady full-time for nearly three months. She quickly recognized the identity of the caller and said respectfully:

"Hello, Miss Zhao. Granny Jiang just went out for a walk and will be back in half an hour. Do you need me to tell her?"

"No need, thank you for taking good care of Granny Jiang."

The young nurse did not reveal any flaws and spoke gently, "This is all our responsibility. Miss Zhao, you are too polite."

The call lasted less than a minute before being hung up.

Zhao Chuyu still remembered the "secret" of the mobile phone. He exited the call making interface, clicked into a private software, unlocked his iris, and continued to tap on certain icons to enter the monitoring interface.

She tapped lightly with her soft fingertips on the search bar, entered the three words "Nanshuiwan", and soon the surveillance footage she wanted appeared.

There are dozens of surveillance cameras in just one nursing home.

She needs to search one by one to identify the location of Granny Jiang.

Although it is getting dark now, the pixel of the surveillance camera is very good and is not affected.

I scrolled through more than twenty frames before I saw a figure that looked like Granny Jiang.

His fingertips then locked onto the picture, clicked on it, and zoomed in. It was undoubtedly Granny Jiang.

Under the 4K high-definition camera, Grandma Jiang's old face is clearly revealed.

In the surveillance video, Grandma Jiang was pushed by a young nurse and walked along the tree-lined path under the sunset.

There was no sign of abuse or melancholy on the old man's kind face.

Zhao Chuyu's eyes flickered slightly, and she tapped the microphone icon with her slender fingers, and the conversation immediately flowed out.

"Mother-in-law, you have a really good memory. Yes, that is the black orchid I just told you about, also known as the New Year's Eve orchid."

"Well, I remember that it blooms from January to February every year, which is right around the Chinese New Year, so I named it the Announcement of the Year Orchid."

"Yes, yes, what Granny Jiang said is great. Dinner time is almost here. I'll push you back to eat, okay? Otherwise, if you're any later, your stomach will protest and say, 'I'm hungry, I want to eat'..."

……

The warm and loving conversation continued, from which it could be seen that the new nurse who treated Grandma Jiang like a child was very patient and loving, without a trace of disgust on her face.

But why, when I saw this scene, I felt that Granny Jiang was a bit like a child?

Zhao Chuyu frowned subconsciously, his eyes flashing with confusion.

Seeing that Granny Jiang in the surveillance video agreed to go back after the young nurse's patient persuasion, she walked out.

Exit the software and call Bai Lulu's cell phone number again.

The good sisters, who are nearly a thousand kilometers apart, should be sitting together with their family, laughing and joking. The moment the phone was connected, laughter and joy immediately came out of the receiver.

"You lost, don't cheat, drink now."

Bai Lulu didn't know who she was playing what game with. She loudly asked the other party to fulfill the bet, and then immediately changed her tone and volume, and happily greeted the little sister on the other end of the phone:

"Happy New Year, Chuchu. Although tomorrow is New Year's Eve, I still want to tell you in advance that Chuchu should always be happy.

Chuchu, it's a bit noisy here, wait for me for a moment, I'll go back to the room and chat with you."

After the impetuous Miss Bai finished talking to Lady Zhao, she turned around and yelled at her brother who had been playing poker with her:

"Bai Zhengning, drink that cup of bitter melon juice quickly and admit defeat. Otherwise, I won't play with you next time. You are such a jerk! Cousin, you supervise him."

Then, a slight rustling sound was heard on the phone, and within a few seconds, the noisy sounds in the living room were blocked out.

Zhao Chuyu seemed to be infected by the harmonious family atmosphere of the other party, and the coldness in her eyes was gradually replaced by a smile, "Lulu, what game are you playing?"

Ever since she became friends with Bai Lulu, she knew that she had a warm and harmonious family. Her parents had a good relationship and were very open-minded. They would not interfere too much in their children's private lives.

In contrast, her biological father is missing and her biological mother passed away early. It is impossible for her to have a happy family forever.

Because she was on the phone, Bai Lulu couldn't see her sister's expression. She locked the door as soon as she entered the bedroom, and said, "I'm so disappointed in you."

"I'm playing Landlord with my cousin and my younger brother who never grows up. Forget about him. He's almost 19 years old, but he still cheats after losing and even imitates a three-year-old kid to ask for help.

Chuchu, how come you have time to call me today? Where's your new husband? Didn't you go on a honeymoon together or something?"

When he said the last few words, he smirked meaningfully.

Zhao Chuyu seemed to have thought of something, and her face flushed slightly. "Someone came to see him and went to the living room. Lulu, the honeymoon you mentioned... Actually, we have only been back from Yuncheng for two days, so we have spent it."

She did not forget about going to Yuncheng, nor did she forget that she had obtained a marriage certificate with Qi Jinan.

She had no idea about a honeymoon or anything like that.

Bai Lulu laughed twice, then thought of something else, stopped laughing, lowered her voice and asked, "Chu Chu, you are pregnant, will you take a leave of absence next semester?"

Chu Chu was already a highly-regarded campus beauty at Nanjing University, and once her belly became apparent, there was bound to be a lot of gossip.

She didn't want her little sister to be subjected to any verbal attacks.

Zhao Chuyu had obviously thought deeply about this question for a long time, and said softly: "Well, I will take a half-year leave of absence."

"Yeah, that's fine. Chuchu, then are you going to wait for the birth in Nancheng or go back to Kyoto? Or the Magic City?"

If the little sister left South City, she would not be able to visit them anytime and anywhere.

Zhao Chuyu seemed to have not thought about this question yet, and hesitated, "It should be Nancheng."

She didn't want to go to the Magic City.

Although Kyoto is the base camp of the Qi family, she has not forgotten the "unfamiliar" look on Qi Jinan's face when he returned to the Qi family's old house.
