Su Rou's school term began. Although she was a bit reluctant, the winter vacation had passed in a flash. "I don't want school to start," Su Rou lay on the bed. There were still a few dark hickies on her neck. Fortunately, it was just the beginning of spring and people still dressed thickly. Wearing a sweater would cover them from others' sight.
"Then take a sabbatical and play at home," Su Yuze suggested.
"Why not go to work?"
"Then you'd better go back to school," Su Yuze replied.
"..."
Humph! What an ungrateful man!
No matter how reluctant she was, Su Rou still had to go back to school. Su Yuze took her to register. Just like last semester, he went straight to the principal. Simple and straightforward! After getting the textbooks, they went home.
Classes would officially start tomorrow. Su Rou wanted to visit Yu Fei in the hospital on this last day. Naturally, Xiao Yun went with her.
"Rourou, what's it like to work?" Xiao Yun had rarely seen Su Rou during this winter vacation and really missed her.
"Not bad..." Except for the heavy workload as a secretary, everything else was okay. More importantly, she could be with Brother Ze every day. By the way... she heard that many companies prohibited office romances. It felt like their relationship was like an underground love affair!
"I'm so jealous of you. You've found a job before graduation," Xiao Yun said enviously. It was really great to be born into a wealthy family.
"Actually... the company is quite complicated," Su Rou said. It could be seen from what her uncle did to snatch the business.
Xiao Yun didn't understand what was complicated or not. After all, she always centered her life around Su Rou.
When they were almost at the hospital, Su Rou suddenly felt someone pat her on the shoulder. She turned around curiously and saw a tall girl. She looked familiar, seemingly the girl she saw in the building last time. But this time, she didn't wear such heavy smoky makeup. She only had a few strokes of light eyeliner, but it made a world of difference compared to last time.
"Do you need something?"
"Don't you recognize me? I'm the one from the building last time..." Wen Tong pointed at herself.
"Ah, the one from the building," Su Rou remembered. "Do you need something from me?"
"I want to ask if you're eighteen this year," Wen Tong asked seriously.
"… Yes," Su Rou hesitated for a moment and then nodded.
Wen Tong's expression changed subtly. "What's your name?"
Didn't they say it last time? She didn't need to tell her name to a stranger. Su Rou glanced at Wen Tong and then dragged Xiao Yun away. Wen Tong seemed a bit reluctant to give up and followed behind Su Rou. "Tell me."
Xiao Yun pulled Wen Tong away. "You're really strange. Why are you so persistent about knowing others' names? What's your intention?" This girl also seemed to come from a wealthy family. She shouldn't be after Su Rou's money!
Wen Tong frowned. If it weren't for her daddy asking her to find the girl who looked like her mommy, she wouldn't have come here. Her school was about to start too, but because of Su Rou, she had to stay in City T.
Really... what was the relationship between this girl and their family?
Su Rou and Xiao Yun walked into the hospital. Wen Tong took out her phone and called Wen Haotian. "Daddy, I've found that girl. She's here at the hospital."
"Good, Tongtong. You must stop that girl at all costs. Do you hear me?" Wen Haotian's voice sounded a bit excited and he quickly told Wen Tong.
Daddy seemed very happy. Daddy had been in poor health and had never been this happy in these years. Wen Tong was even more confused. "Daddy, who is that girl?"
Wen Haotian was silent on the phone for a while and then slowly said, "She might be your sister, your biological sister." Although it wasn't completely certain, based on the current situation, it was very likely!
Wen Tong's eyes widened instantly. "Sister..." Impossible! She was the only daughter of the Wen family. When did she get a biological sister? And why had her daddy and mommy never told her?
"Anyway, just hold her up," Wen Haotian said in a deep voice.
"..."
When Su Rou and Xiao Yun walked out of the hospital, they saw Wen Tong standing under a big tree at the hospital entrance. Her overly contoured face was staring at them... no, to be exact, staring at Su Rou.
"Rourou, she's staring at you again," Xiao Yun immediately noticed Wen Tong. For some reason, although she felt that Wen Tong didn't seem to have any malicious intentions, she still felt uneasy.
This girl looked a bit similar to Su Rou...
"Don't mind her. I'm going home," Su Rou said. It was getting late. Brother Ze might call again soon.
Hearing this, Wen Tong immediately ran up and grabbed Su Rou's arm. "Wait."
Su Rou frowned and pulled her arm back. "What on earth do you want?"
"We want to confirm something," Wen Tong stared into Su Rou's face. "You're my..."
Su Rou was a bit impatient. Without waiting for Wen Tong to finish, she grabbed Xiao Yun's hand and ran away. They dashed across the road in one breath and got into a taxi, speeding away.
Before Wen Tong could react, Su Rou had already left. She was too fast to be stopped. Wen Tong squinted her eyes. "What..."
Not long after, Wen Haotian rushed over. Seeing Wen Tong standing alone at the hospital entrance with no one else around, he immediately knew what had happened. His face darkened slightly. "Where is she?"
"She ran away," Wen Tong said. Su Rou had run too fast. And since she was not familiar with City T, she could only wait there.
"Really..." Wen Haotian let out a heavy sigh. "Did they just go in?"
"Yes."
Since they had gone into the hospital, it meant that one of her friends must be hospitalized there. Then... wouldn't it be clear if he went in and asked!
...
When Su Rou got home, Su Yuze wasn't back yet. "Aunt Wang, where's Brother Ze?" Su Yuze rarely came home this late. No wonder he hadn't called her.
"The young master hasn't come back yet."
Su Rou went upstairs and called Su Yuze. "Brother Ze? Aren't you coming home tonight?"
"I'll be back soon. You eat first. Don't wait for me."
"Okay. Come back early."
"Okay."
Su Yuze hung up the phone and then said to the other receiver, "Yufeng, go on."
"Um... I can't find any information about that person. It seems that he's not from City T."
Not from City T? If he wasn't from City T, why was he investigating Su Rou?
