317: Chapter 317 Zhu Suosuo Comes Looking for Me

Dai Yin also curled her lips in speechlessness; it turned out her own daughter was on a blind date, and to top it off, she was going to be a stepmother.

Jiang Pengfei had only told her that the person her daughter was going on a blind date with was a bit older; he hadn't mentioned the child at all.

Dai Yin glanced at Zhu Suosuo. This girl—Nansun hadn't wasted her time befriending her.

"That's possible, but can your commission really come through that quickly?"

Zhu Suosuo thought for a moment, "If worse comes to worst, I'll talk to our manager and ask him to streamline the process for me."

Hearing Zhu Suosuo say this, Dai Yin felt even more gratified; it wasn't in vain that she had cared for this girl all this time.

Dai Yin thought for a moment and said, "Since Suo Suo also wants to move out."

"Then I'll rent a place for you both."

Jiang Nansun looked at her mother, feeling very heartbroken. She knelt in front of her, shook her hand, and said, "Mom, come with us."

"We'll find a place to live together."

"Divorce my dad."

Dai Yin was stunned, feeling touched inside. Her earlier suggestion that Jiang Nansun move to Zhang Anren's place was actually because she had been contemplating divorce and was trying to arrange things for her daughter.

If her daughter had said earlier that she really had an ambiguous relationship with Chen Cheng.

Then she would have let Jiang Nansun go with Chen Cheng without hesitation.

Dai Yin sighed inwardly and shook her head, "I can't leave."

Jiang Nansun's eyes were filled with tears, "Why can't you leave?"

"After all these decades, I have ways to deal with them." Dai Yin gave a bitter smile, "But I've wasted most of my life at the mahjong table."

She touched the tears on Jiang Nansun's face, "I don't want you to be held back anymore."

"Don't cry."

"This is no longer a home, there's no need to be attached to it."

Dai Yin watched her daughter crying like a tearful mess, fearing she wouldn't be able to hold herself together either.

"I'm going downstairs first. You and Suo Suo discuss the renting matter."

She pushed Jiang Nansun away, stood up, and walked towards the door.

After Dai Yin left, Jiang Nansun turned back to look at Zhu Suosuo, who was also crying like a tearful mess.

She chuckled, and while wiping her tears, asked, "What are you crying for?"

Zhu Suosuo forced a smile onto her tear-stained face and sniffled, "I think your aunt is truly amazing."

"I originally thought she was just playful."

Zhu Suosuo sighed, "Having a mother or not having a mother, it's just different."

Once these words were out, how could Jiang Nansun not know why she was crying?

She was thinking of her own mother and burst into tears from the grievance.

Jiang Nansun hugged Zhu Suosuo, feeling very heartbroken.

The two women just stayed like that, one sitting on the bed and the other kneeling on the floor, crying in each other's arms.

After a long while, both of them were tired from crying.

A flash of determination crossed Zhu Suosuo's eyes as she wiped away her tears.

"Nansun, actually there's something I haven't told you."

Jiang Nansun looked up suspiciously, "What is it?"

Zhu Suosuo gave a cool smile, "Actually, the person who bought my two houses yesterday was Teacher Chen."

"Him!" Jiang Nansun's eyes widened immediately.

Zhu Suosuo chuckled, "If it wasn't for an acquaintance specifically asking for me, how else do you think I could have sold the houses so quickly?"

"Oh~" Jiang Nansun blinked, "So that's how it is."

After she finished speaking, a touch of sweetness welled up in Jiang Nansun's heart. This guy is quite reliable; he even knew to help my best friend boost her sales performance.

Zhu Suosuo blinked, "Did you go to the livehouse with Teacher Chen yesterday?"

Jiang Nansun was stunned; she didn't expect her to ask this suddenly. She nodded quickly, "Yes."

Then she explained, "Yesterday, he acted as a shield for me, didn't he? And I didn't want to come back so early and get pestered by my dad with all his questions, so I dragged him to the livehouse with me."

"Oh~"

After hearing her explanation, Zhu Suosuo finally breathed a sigh of relief.

She was really afraid that there was something going on between Jiang Nansun and Chen Cheng.

She rolled her eyes, a smile hanging on the corner of her mouth, and patted Jiang Nansun on the shoulder, "Alright, hurry off to school."

"I'll ask my colleagues about the housing matter."

Jiang Nansun thought for a moment and nodded, "Then I'm leaving?"

Zhu Suosuo patted her shoulder, "Go ahead, I have to go to the company too."

Jiang Nansun stood up and went to the bathroom to look in the mirror, wiped away her tear stains, and touched up her makeup before going downstairs.

She rarely wore makeup, but for some reason, she wanted to today, so she got up early and put on some makeup.

As it turned out, she cried it all off.

Passing by Chen Cheng's car, she looked up at Chen Cheng's courtyard, a faint smile tugging at the corner of her lips, and then walked quickly out of the alley.

After Jiang Nansun left, Zhu Suosuo watched the direction where she had disappeared, her gaze growing more determined.

She blinked and took out her phone to send a message to Chen Cheng.

[Where are you? Can I see you?]

Who would have thought that Chen Cheng, who usually took half a day to reply to a message, would reply in seconds.

[Fuxing Road]

Looking at these three words, she was stunned for a moment, then slapped her forehead. That's right, he went to the livehouse with Nansun yesterday, so he must have brought Nansun back.

Her eyes rolled, and she replied: [I'm coming to find you right away]

[Okay]

Chen Cheng replied with these two words indifferently, a playful smile curling the corner of his lips.

Zhu Suosuo was still that easy...

Ten minutes or so later, Zhu Suosuo sent a message saying she was at the courtyard gate.

Chen Cheng opened the door for her remotely and stood up to walk towards the entrance.

Zhu Suosuo stood at the courtyard entrance, looked left and right, and after confirming that there was no one in the alley, she stepped into the courtyard and closed the gate behind her.

Chen Cheng opened the door and just happened to see Zhu Suosuo walking over quickly.

She was wearing a black turtleneck knit sweater paired with a white shirt, the hem tucked into her jeans.

On her feet, a pair of black knee-high Martin boots wrapped around her calves.

She also had a khaki trench coat on, and she was carrying a black cylindrical bag in her hand.

Her hair was parted slightly to the side from the center of her brow and hung down naturally.

The whole outfit looked very stylish and charming.

It was clearly carefully put together.

Seeing Chen Cheng, Zhu Suosuo revealed a charming smile.

Chen Cheng chuckled slightly. Without waiting for her to reach the door, he turned and walked towards the dining room; he was currently eating the breakfast Eleven had brought.

As for Eleven, she was asleep upstairs at the moment.

The first time, it was a bit painful.

Seeing Chen Cheng turn and go inside, a bit of embarrassment flashed across Zhu Suosuo's face.

She changed her shoes and walked towards the dining room.

"Sit down," Chen Cheng said with a playful smile, pointing to the seat opposite him.

"Oh~ thanks," Zhu Suosuo forced a smile and thanked him.

"Have you eaten?"

"Yes, I have."

Chen Cheng looked up at her, "Coming to find me so early, is it...?"

Zhu Suosuo's mouth twitched. Do you really not know why I'm looking for you?

She took a breath and asked Chen Cheng, "What you said last time, does it still count?"

Chen Cheng nodded, "Of course, otherwise wouldn't that mean I took advantage of you for nothing?"

Zhu Suosuo was immediately overjoyed and asked tentatively, "Then that house yesterday, was it bought for me?"

After speaking, she leaned forward, looking very hopeful.
