18. Chapter 18 Your question is very strange

Xu Jinteng showed the photo to her, Zhao Zhao touched the face of the woman in the photo with his slender fingers, and looked at it blankly, just silent.

After a while, she looked up and said, "This is the landlady's photo, right?"

Xu Jinteng stared at her curiously and answered, "Yes."

"Do you know her?"

He raised his eyebrows and said, "I've seen it before."

"She is from Changqing County?"

"Zhao Zhaozhao, your question is very strange."

After taking a look, the light in his bright eyes gradually faded away. He was right, he was just a tenant, how could he know so much? "I'm sorry, I just have something to do with her. Do you have her contact information?"

?”

"I... don't have it." Xu Jinteng looked at her injured finger again, "I have a band-aid here."

"No, thank you. You can rest, I won't disturb you."

Zhaozhao exited and closed the door gently. The wound on the tip of her hand started to bleed again. She took out a tissue to wipe it, and then went to the bathroom to clean it up.

Come out again, sit in the living room and flip through the magazines on the sofa.

Xu Jinteng fell asleep, and she was the only one in the whole room. The large living room was empty, and she could see the scenery outside through the floor-to-ceiling windows. Unfortunately, the floor was not high, so she could only see a few lights.

When she first came here, she was envious of the big house here, but now she thinks about it, it is not as peaceful and warm as the small room she rented before. There, as long as she smiled gently, the whole room would be filled with joy; if she shed a tear, the whole house would be filled with joy.

The room was just sad. What about here? It was too big. When she shouted, it took a second to hear the echo.

It seems like I am just a passerby here...

Zhaozhao simply washed up and then went back to her room. There was a spare quilt in the room. She made the bed, lay down, and started making phone calls.

"Auntie, how is grandma doing now?"

"I have been asleep, and the doctor said I should wake up tomorrow."

Zhao Zhao said, "It must be very hard to take care of grandma these days, right?"

"No matter where it is, this is what it should be."

"By the way, I got some money from friends here. It's about fifty thousand. I'll call you the day after tomorrow."

The aunt was a little surprised, "Which friend lent you so much money? Zhaozhao, you have to be careful when making friends outside."

"I'm sensible, I'm my former classmate." Zhaozhao seemed to see the worried expression of her aunt worrying about her when she was a child, and her heart felt sour and sweet at the same time, "Don't worry about me, you should pay attention to your health."

I originally wanted to tell my aunt about seeing her mother's photo, but after thinking about it, I decided not to. Grandma is still in the hospital, and her aunt is already very worried.

A dreamless night.

When I woke up the next day, it was exactly 9 o'clock. I thought about how many buses I had to take to get to Liu Chenghui's house, so I got up in a hurry. After getting dressed, I fixed my hair in the mirror before I came out of the room, but I saw Xu Jinteng sitting there.

In the living room, drinking coffee and reading documents.

"Mr. Xu, good morning."

Xu Jinteng looked at her, nodded, and returned his eyes to the documents.

Why are you so cold and don't say a word?

Zhaozhao rolled her eyes and came down to drink some water after washing.

Xu Jinteng closed the documents and looked at her sideways, "When are you going to Liu Chenghui's house?"

Zhaozhao blinked, not knowing why, "Let's go now."

"Let's go then, I'll go there now."

"Oh..." Zhaozhao put down the water glass, prepared to change his shoes, and asked weakly, "Mr. Xu, do you plan to take the bus or the light rail?"

He said angrily, "I'll take a taxi."

Zhaozhao bit her lip and said weakly, "Taking a taxi is so expensive..."

"You don't have to pay!"
