Chapter 180: Chapter 180 Uncle Meng

The two walked down the corridor, and as they passed a certain private room, the door was half-open, allowing passersby to clearly see a corner of the room.

With her keen eyes, Shen Jingrou took a glance inside and then stopped in her tracks.

An Yin stood beside Shen Jingrou, full of curiosity as she saw her stop, "Jingrou, what’s up?" she asked while peeking into the private room along with Shen Jingrou’s gaze.

An Yin saw a man’s profile; he was wearing a dark blue shirt and was reaching out to grab a dish from the table. The lines of the man’s profile were distinct, giving off a clear and aloof impression.

An Yin had this feeling that the man inside seemed very familiar, as if she had seen him somewhere before!

While she was puzzled, Shen Jingrou turned her head with an apologetic face, "I saw an elder, wait here for a moment, I’ll go in to say hello and come right out."

"Okay." An Yin’s eyes were fixated on the man inside the private room; as she was getting absorbed in watching him, the man inside seemed to sense someone was observing him. Alarmed, he looked up, and An Yin’s view was blocked as Shen Jingrou moved in front of the door, heading inside.

An Yin withdrew her gaze and stepped aside. She could feel her whole body tensing up, like something important was right in front of her.

While An Yin was deep in thought, Shen Jingrou’s cheerful voice came from inside the private room, "Uncle Meng..."

An Yin only heard that sentence, and her mind began to wander as she leaned against the wall to avoid blocking the way.

Within two minutes, Shen Jingrou came out.

"Did you wait long?" Shen Jingrou asked softly.

"No." An Yin shook her head in denial.

Holding An Yin’s hand as they walked, Shen Jingrou explained, "This Uncle Meng of ours is no ordinary person!"

Having earlier heard Shen Jingrou address that man, An Yin couldn’t help but turn her head to ask, "Are you relatives?" An Yin wasn’t the gossipy type, but from that brief glance, she felt a curiosity about the man, which surprised her.

"He and my father are friends," Shen Jingrou replied warmly.

An Yin pressed her lips together without speaking, the man’s profile continually flashing through her mind.

At this moment, Shen Jingrou sighed lightly, her voice carrying a tinge of sadness as she continued, "Uncle Meng is pretty pitiful."

An Yin was puzzled, "Why?"

Recalling her father’s solemn expression whenever he talked about this good friend, Shen Jingrou slowly said, "A bumpy road in love." She only uttered four words.

After hearing this, An Yin felt a heaviness in her heart, her eyes filled with a touch of gloom as she murmured, "He’s not with the one he loves?"

The two unknowingly arrived at the parking lot, where the driver got out to help open the car door.

They sat down in the back seat.

Just when An Yin thought the other party didn’t want to discuss this topic, she heard Shen Jingrou’s voice, "No."

Finishing her sentence, Shen Jingrou noticed An Yin’s heavy expression and immediately pulled up a smile, "This topic is such a downer, let’s talk about something else."

"Mm." An Yin’s eyes slightly drooped.

The car sped down the road.

An Yin thought they were going back to school until the car drove into the underground parking lot of a high-rise building, prompting her to belatedly ask, "Jingrou, where are we going?"

"Sell you off!" Shen Jingrou joked mysteriously.

"Huh?" An Yin stared blankly at her.

"Get out of the car." Shen Jingrou smiled gently, exuding an air of grace with every gesture.

Getting out of the car, An Yin looked around and realized she had never been here before, so she eagerly followed beside Shen Jingrou.

As soon as they got out of the car, the valet boys outside noticed them and called out in unison, "Miss Shen!"

An Yin’s gaze fell on Shen Jingrou’s face, seeing her calm demeanor in response to their calls as if it were the most normal thing, completely unlike her own unease, and An Yin quietly lowered her head.

It seemed like everyone she had been meeting lately was no ordinary person! An Yin mulled over this.

Led by the attendant, they arrived at a private elevator. Shen Jingrou looked at the apprehensive young girl beside her and couldn’t help but laugh, "Relax, I’m not really selling you off." Not intending to scare her timid companion, Shen Jingrou reassured.

An Yin offered a shy smile, mumbling, "I know."

The elevator ascended to the 36th floor, and as the doors slowly opened, the attendant stepped out first, extending a hand across the exit to facilitate the ladies’ passage.

An Yin obediently followed Shen Jingrou.

After having witnessed various luxurious settings while with Bao Shaojin before, An Yin, regardless of encountering any top-tier indoor environment now, no longer felt the initial sense of awe she once did.

"Miss Shen, right this way!"

The attendant stood by an open door, gesturing them inside.

Stepping forward, Shen Jingrou entered, with An Yin following closely behind, driven by curiosity.

The room fell silent with Shen Jingrou’s entrance. The women who had been chatting all stood up, turning towards Shen Jingrou with an ingratiating attitude, addressing her, "Miss Shen..."

"Miss Shen..."

A mixture of voices calling her name.

An Yin’s eyes took in the multitude of women, further deepening her confusion. She silently followed beside Shen Jingrou, choosing to observe the situation.

Wearing high heels, Shen Jingrou walked gracefully to the front of the crowd and stopped. Her smile did not reach her eyes, "Hello everyone! You should all know Ah Yue’s selection criteria before coming here, right?"

"We understand." The women responded in unison.

Shen Jingrou’s face remained calm, her eyes like deep seawater, shimmering with a hidden depth, "In that case, please wait a moment, and I’ll have Ah Yue come over."

"I’ll follow Miss Shen’s arrangements!" one of the women piped up, her voice affected and sweet.

Many others chimed in quickly, "We’ll follow Miss Shen’s arrangements..."

"..."

Shen Jingrou frowned slightly, reminding them, "Ah Yue likes quiet women, please keep that in mind."

The women exchanged glances and fell silent.

Helplessly, Shen Jingrou turned her head, giving them a perfunctory smile.

Then she took out her phone to make a call, but before the other party could speak, she preempted, "Have Aunt Chen take care of Xiao Ai for a bit, I’ll send you a location, come over!"

After speaking, she ended the call.

An Yin was taken aback, surprised to see such an assertive side of Jingrou, something she had never witnessed before. Who could this be, to make Jingrou act so differently?

And what was the current situation?

It seemed these women had something to do with the "Ah Yue" Jingrou mentioned?

Raising her eyes, An Yin noticed the women were all staring at her. Terrified, she shrunk back and sidled closer to Shen Jingrou to avoid their scrutiny. She lowered her voice, "Jingrou, what’s going on here?"

The young girl, with innocent eyes wide open, looked expectantly at her, and Shen Jingrou couldn’t bear to keep her in the dark any longer.
