Chapter 69: Chapter 69 New Mission

"Little Sha," Shu Hui pulled out another stack of money, "send this money to your grandma."

"Mom, I have money. I already sent some this month." Every few months, she’d send money to her father’s hometown, although she had never met Grandma. They always used the most traditional postal remittance because Grandma neither used the internet nor understood online banking and mobile payments.

Grandma never visited them in the city, and her mother never took her back there. She had no idea what relatives were left in the old home but vaguely remembered that the family seemed quite well off when she was little, living in a big house before they moved into this school dormitory. She vaguely recalled that the big house was sold to pay for someone’s medical treatment back home, which caused a big fight between her parents at the time. Afterward, her father went to jail, and whether the person’s illness was cured, she never knew. Her mom never mentioned it again, and the family’s living conditions plummeted.

"Send some more, it’s an important birthday for her." Shu Hui stuffed the money into her hands.

She understood then that Shu Hui was referring to her grandma’s birthday this year, though she had no idea how many years it actually was.

"Okay," she agreed. Sometimes, complying was a form of filial piety.

While they were talking, Tu Hengsha’s phone rang. It was Chen Qi asking her to pack and head to the train station immediately for a business trip. She would be working with the same journalist, Ronggui.

Tu Hengsha hung up the phone and hastily packed a few things while telling Shu Hui in a rush, "Mom, I’m going on a business trip! I don’t know how many days it’ll be; I’ll find the time to send Grandma’s money."

"If you’re too busy, I’ll send it myself! Be careful out there!" Shu Hui quickly helped her gather a bunch of stuff.

Tu Hengsha couldn’t help but laugh inwardly and ended up putting it all back. "Mom, travel light. I don’t need all this!"

Shu Hui sighed, "You’re never like a proper girl!" Watching her daughter in flat shoes and sporty casual clothes was truly distressing. Remembering her daughter’s lifelong matters made her head hurt even more.

Tu Hengsha strapped on her backpack and hugged Shu Hui. "Mom, don’t worry! I’m off!" The truth was, she had a heart of a pink princess too, but her work required practicality - should she have to wade through water and fire in high heels?

Chen Qi sent her the train number, letting her buy the ticket herself.

Seeing the time was tight, she bought the ticket and rushed to the train station, boarding with just two minutes to spare. She had no idea where Su Ronggui was but sent him a message after finding her seat.

"Why is it you?" was Su Ronggui’s reply.

She could fully imagine Su Ronggui’s facial expression and tone when saying this. How much did he resent her to respond this way? Seriously, where was that professional demeanor he boasted about? No matter how much he disliked her, surely their collaboration shouldn’t be met with such disdain? She didn’t mess up his work on their last trip to Nan County to report on the flood damage, right?

Using the phrase "a wise woman doesn’t fight with men," she refrained from arguing with him, closed her eyes to rest, knowing from Chen Qi’s tone that this would be another tough battle.

Her phone buzzed incessantly in her hand. Su Ronggui sent four messages: Go back, get someone else! Damn, the train has left! Next time, could you take the assignment with some brains? Where are you sitting?

Out of the four, she only replied to the last one, sending him her seat location.

She closed her eyes again to rest and recharge. Before long, she heard whispers nearby, very familiar ones. However, she didn’t dare to believe it was that person. She opened her eyes to find the person next to her moving away, and someone else boldly sat down.
