Pei Ying's concerns didn't materialize. Neither Aunt Guan nor Zhu's parents noticed the storm on the hot search. Aunt Guan had been extremely busy these days, and Pei Ying's grandmother kept causing her trouble every day.
Especially regarding Pei Ying. After he made a big scene at home, he took over power forcefully. Then he went to City S to expand the market. He kept his contact information strictly to himself. As Pei Ying's grandmother, Ji Xuelan couldn't even get in touch with her own grandson. How could she not be angry?
Guan Xue was extremely annoyed by her. She flew into a rage with Pei Huan and then went abroad on a business trip. Pei Huan was even more irritated. It wasn't enough that his mother had disrupted his relationship with Guan Xue before. Just when Xue'er's attitude towards him had started to soften a bit, his mother's actions had completely undone all the progress. Immediately, he called his father and told him to keep his wife in check. Then he went abroad to chase after his wife.
As for Zhu's parents, they were even busier. For some unknown reason, the magnetic field that had been stable for over a decade had started to fluctuate again. This fluctuation was extremely similar to the one when that criminal had come before.
"Professor Lin! The same fluctuation has been detected in City C. It's the same as the No. 1 wave frequency detected in City S before. The No. 2 wave frequency has been very active recently. We've detected the approximate location where the No. 2 wave frequency appears. It mostly appears near S University." The researcher handed the latest observation report to Lin Ruian.
Lin Ruian carefully examined the latest observation report. The report marked out the movement route of the No. 2 wave frequency. The more Lin Ruian looked, the more familiar it seemed. This... wasn't it extremely similar to their daughter's recent activity trajectory?
There had always been people protecting Zhu Shuangyao, so her activity trajectory was naturally reported. She had always led a simple life, going between two places. However, recently she had to visit Luo Yingying and Luo Yu in the hospital, so her life had become a three - point - one - line routine.
With such a high degree of overlap in the trajectories, Lin Ruian had a rather bad thought. Her eyes darkened. "Professor Zhu, come and take a look at this report."
"What's wrong?" Zhu Qianhai took the observation report. After looking at it, he also had the same speculation as his wife. Zhu Qianhai closed his eyes and let out a long breath. Why did these people always target their daughter?
"Ask about the situation on the seventh side. If it matches, submit an application to the higher - ups for a record and increase the protection. If necessary... implement Plan C."
"Finally... we've reached this step." A burning determination ignited in Lin Ruian's eyes. "One day, I'll drive all these people out!"
Back to the other side. Although Ji Xuelan didn't get Pei Ying's contact information, she knew that Pei Ying had a younger sister who he had a good relationship with and had always protected. She thought he had hidden it well, but Ji Xuelan had known about it for a long time.
A shameless woman had already entered their Pei family as a daughter - in - law. She didn't want another woman of low standing to enter the family as a granddaughter - in - law. However... she still wanted to see her grandson. She had to meet this woman.
Since that day, Zhu Shuangyao had fallen back into a busy life. As the final exam drew closer, everyone's state became more and more tense. Recently, no one played with their phones during class, and there were many people borrowing notes.
Over time, it made people feel...
"It's so boring." Shen Jun lay on the classroom desk like a boneless fish. "Since you left, it seems like one after another has left. Now I'm the only one left in the dormitory. It's so uninteresting. I might move out after the final exam."
Zhu Shuangyao gently patted her on the back and joked, "Even our Miss Shen feels bored?"
"Of course." Shen Jun pouted. "When you were all here, it was so lively. We chatted and argued, and sometimes we went out for a meal together. It was so nice. Now I'm all alone. I don't know where to go. Everywhere is boring."
"Don't you have a lot of friends? When we first entered school, you even said not to curry favor with you..."
"Aaaaaah, stop talking, stop talking. I know I was wrong!" Just thinking about this made Shen Jun's scalp tingle. When she had just entered university, her second - year - middle - school syndrome hadn't passed yet. She had pointed at the girls in the dormitory haughtily and told them not to get close to her because she wasn't easy to deceive. But then she had suffered a huge setback. They hadn't deceived her, but Shen Jun herself had almost been deceived out of her money and her body.
If Luo Yingying hadn't happened to be working part - time in that bar and called the police immediately, she would definitely have regretted it for the rest of her life. After that, everyone often made fun of her about this.
Zhu Shuangyao burst out laughing. No matter when, whenever this matter was mentioned, Shen Jun's reaction was incredibly cute.
"Okay, okay, let's get down to business." She took out an extremely exquisite invitation from her bag. "It's an invitation to a birthday party. I've asked Yingying and Wen Meng. Wen Meng can't get away, and Yingying has to take care of her mother, so neither of them will go. If you want to go, you can; if not, you don't have to. Actually, it's just a place to network."
Although Shen Jun said this, she secretly observed Zhu Shuangyao's reaction from the corner of her eye. When she saw Zhu Shuangyao looking over, she turned her head away, looking completely nonchalant.
Zhu Shuangyao waved the invitation and let out a long sigh. "Alas, actually I..."
Hearing this, it seemed like she was going to decline. Shen Jun immediately exploded. She wrinkled her nose and said fiercely, "I don't care. You have to go. I've inquired. You don't have anything to do during the summer vacation!"
"... I'm not saying I can't go." After Shen Jun had rambled on for a long time, Zhu Shuangyao slowly said the second half of the sentence.
Only then did Shen Jun realize that this person had been teasing her!
Shen Jun angrily hit her a couple of times. "Then it's settled. You have to go. Don't go back on your word."
Zhu Shuangyao swore to the sky. "Don't worry. I definitely won't go back on my word."
Shen Jun covered her mouth and laughed. "That's good. My uncle has come back recently. I'll introduce you to him then. My uncle is so handsome."
Zhu Shuangyao declined politely. "I have a boyfriend."
Shen Jun pouted. "But you can still appreciate his good looks..."
A ringing phone interrupted their conversation. Zhu Shuangyao looked at the caller ID. It was Luo Yingying's call. She turned on the speakerphone. "Yingying, what's up?"
On the other end of the phone, Luo Yingying's extremely surprised voice came through. "The doctor said my mom has been out of danger and has been transferred to a general ward! Do you want to come and see her?"
Yingying's mom was getting better? Shen Jun was also happy for her. "That's great. I'll go and visit Auntie some other day. I'm busy today, so I won't go."
Zhu Shuangyao agreed to Luo Yingying's request. "Okay, I'll go and see Auntie right away."
"Great, great, great." Luo Yingying said excitedly.
The two chatted for a while. Luo Yingying told Zhu Shuangyao to bring some things, and then hung up the phone. Zhu Shuangyao looked at Shen Jun. "I'm leaving?"
Shen Jun waved her hand. "Go, go."
Zhu Shuangyao smiled and stroked her hair. "Don't worry. Everyone will go to your birthday party. We'll give you a surprise then."
Shen Jun's eyes immediately lit up.
Zhu Shuangyao picked up her bag and walked out of the classroom. She specifically called Huo Qizheng. Huo Qizheng seemed to be on a construction site. The background was extremely noisy. She first told him not to come and pick her up, and Huo Qizheng agreed. He just told her to be careful and then hung up the phone.
Zhu Shuangyao thought it was a bit strange. Huo Qizheng rarely hung up the phone so quickly before. Could something have happened? The background noise also gave Zhu Shuangyao a very strange feeling.
She walked out of the classroom. Looking around, she saw a familiar figure. Coincidentally, that figure also saw her. The person's eyes immediately lit up, and she happily ran over.
But when she got closer, she suddenly stopped. She barely calmed her emotions and suppressed her excitement as she said to Zhu Shuangyao, "Yaoyao, what a coincidence. Did you just finish class too?"
Zhu Shuangyao smiled. "Yes. It seems you did too, Xiaoxue?"
Xue Xiaoxue nodded like a chicken pecking at rice. Actually, she hadn't just finished class. She had deliberately waited here for Zhu Shuangyao. The last time she had dinner with Zhu Shuangyao, halfway through the meal, Zhu Shuangyao had gone to help someone in need. Xue Xiaoxue had always felt it was a pity, but she couldn't find a chance to talk to Zhu Shuangyao. Although they had each other's contact information, they hardly ever messaged each other.
After much thought, Xue Xiaoxue could only come up with this stupid idea. She had used her connections to get Zhu Shuangyao's class schedule and had been waiting here outside the classroom.
She smiled with her eyes curved, and her eyes were full of joy. "Classmate Zhu, we can go for dinner together later!"
"I'm afraid not." Zhu Shuangyao actually quite liked Xue Xiaoxue. She thought she was a nice person, but she had to go and visit Aunt Luo, so she could only reluctantly decline. "I have to visit an elder later. I can't have dinner with you."
"Oh..." Xue Xiaoxue looked dejected, like a rabbit that couldn't get a carrot. Her "ears" drooped. "Then... we can make it another day..."
"But if you want, you can come after I visit the elder. Then we can have dinner together."
Zhu Shuangyao thought for a moment. Yingying would definitely have dinner with Yan Yan. Luo Yu had returned to City C a few days ago. She didn't want to bother Mr. Huo, so she would probably have dinner alone. So having dinner with Xue Xiaoxue wasn't a bad idea.
Sure enough, hearing this, Xue Xiaoxue's eyes immediately lit up. "No problem, no problem. I'll definitely be there. Are you going out of the school now? Come on, let's go out together."
Zhu Shuangyao smiled. "Let's go then."
The two walked out chatting and laughing. But Zhu Shuangyao was stopped again. Looking at the two arrogant noble ladies who had blocked her way, Zhu Shuangyao had a faint premonition of something bad. Could it be... she still couldn't escape these terrible and cliché dramas?
Not only had the Lu family's people come once, but now there was another group?
