Chapter 127 She only has you

She dragged her heavy body up and walked towards the bathroom, put in the warm water and lay down in it.

There was a cigarette case at hand, and the smell of peach instantly filled the tip of her nose.

She closed her eyes and leaned in the bathtub. Many memories suddenly came to her mind, thinking of many years ago.

When she first came to Pei's house, Pei Wei was still very good to her, as was her uncle.

I don’t know from which day Pei Wei changed.

He forced her to compete with the dogs for food, causing her to be bitten and bruised all over her body.

He forced her to raise the ashes of the mother of the Pei family.

Zhou Shu shed tears uncontrollably from the corners of her eyes. If her parents were alive, if she had always lived with her family.

Would he not have to suffer these things? Could he have a happy family? Could he be like Su Baiyi and feel pain in the palm of his hand?

It would be nice if nothing happened to her parents.

Zhou Shu thought about it and fell asleep in the bathtub unknowingly.

Outside the door, Li Jinyan had been away for a long time, but he could still think of Zhou Shu's eyes that were red from crying. Thinking of her, Li Jinyan rubbed his eyebrows with a headache.

Just then, someone knocked on the door.

Aunt Zhang pushed open the door and walked in: "Sir, are you arguing again?"

There was a cup of hot milk on the table, but it was obviously not for Li Jinyan.

"You have been away from home all day long. I am the only one staying with Miss Zhou in this house. It is normal for a young girl to be restless at a young age. She also dislikes being looked at. Otherwise, everyone will be rebellious."

Aunt Zhang said nonchalantly, advising Li Jinyan not to be angry because of this.

She probably heard some of the quarrel between the two, so there was no need to argue over such things.

"I'm not angry, it's just..." Li Jinyan couldn't say that Zhou Shu was restless. He couldn't say that he was afraid that she would run away.

But compared to her obedient appearance, Zhou Shu, who still gets angry, is more real and more like herself.

Li Jinyan also felt sorry for Zhou Shu like this, but after she was brought back, her attitude towards him became flattering and perfunctory.

"Sir, little girls can't be locked up. It's not a bad thing for Miss Zhou to do this."

Li Jinyan was silent, and Aunt Zhang did not urge her. She just pushed the hot milk on the table and said, "Coax her, she only has you now."

Aunt Zhang's words hit Li Jinyan like a heavy punch in the heart. The room was extremely quiet. The man hesitated for a long time before walking toward the room with the milk in hand.

Knocked on the door, but there was no sound in the room.

"Shu Shu?"

Zhou Shu still didn't make a sound. Thinking that she was probably still angry because of what happened before, Li Jinyan softened his attitude.

"Shu Shu, I warmed the milk and I'm coming in." With that said, the man pushed open the door and entered.

But the room was empty, no one was there.

There was no sound of water running in the bathroom, but the rising water vapor clearly indicated that there was someone in the bathroom.

Li Jinyan took the milk and turned to the bathroom, but was stunned when he walked to the door. The person soaking in the bathtub raised his head slightly, revealing his slender and white neck.

She closed her eyes, and there were tears in the corners of her eyes. She must have cried just now.

Aunt Zhang's hesitant words rang in Li Jinyan's ears again: "She only has you now."

He forgot that although Zhou Shu was restless, he was the only one he could rely on now. The man sighed silently, and the anger in his heart dissipated a lot in an instant.

Li Jinyan walked to Zhou Shu in two or two steps, squatted down, and put the milk on the cabinet aside.

"Drink some milk and come out to sleep later." Hearing the man's voice, Zhou Shu suddenly opened her eyes. She stared at Li Jinyan closely, with a bit of confusion in her eyes.

"Are you going to teach me a lesson again?"

Zhou Shu's voice was hoarse and slightly choked. Li Jinyan's heart softened instantly: "I'm here to tell you that you can keep the car. Don't run around and pay attention to safety."

Zhou Shu didn't care that he was wet, and put his arms around Li Jinyan's neck: "Do you still like me? Or you..."

She wanted to ask but didn't dare, so Li Jinyan kissed her on the cheek lovingly: "Don't be afraid, it's just you."

Yu Yao's appearance made Zhou Shu feel insecure, which was normal. Li Jinyan ignored Zhou Shu's feelings.

"Okay, if you're sorry for me, I'll drive away in the car." Zhou Shu burst into tears and smiled, with a flash of cunning in her eyes, and she pulled Li Jinyan into the bathtub.

The man was not annoyed either, he just played around with her and entangled in the water.

It wasn't until Zhou Shu was tired that Li Jinyan finally carried her out of the bathtub and dried herself.

In her sleep, Zhou Shu moved restlessly and got into the man's arms without feeling safe. The familiar smell made her sleep peacefully.

When he opened his eyes again, Li Jinyan was no longer in the bed.

Zhou Shu was confused, vaguely remembering that Li Jinyan said last night that the car could be kept.

She stood up with difficulty, and when she saw the bag on the bedside table, Zhou Shu took out the photo.

I didn't look carefully yesterday, but I was interrupted by a phone call from Li Jinyan. Today I discovered that there was a note behind the photo, and there was an address on the note.

According to what Huo Jingtong meant yesterday, the cause of his father's death might be found there. Zhou Shu held the photo with a tangled expression.

Huo Jingtong probably didn't lie to himself about this matter.

And if he wanted to find out the truth, he would have to go to this address to investigate. But seeing this photo, Zhou Shu felt uncomfortable and a little unsure.

Her eyes slowly shifted from her parents to Li Jinyan's face.

Are you a murderer too?

Zhou Shu really didn't know whether she should continue to investigate, and her rationality told her that the photo should be kept.

After much hesitation, Zhou Shu found a place to hide where he would not be easily found.

She had a hunch that if she destroyed the photo today, she would regret it sooner or later.

Zhou Shu stood at the window and looked outside, not knowing what he was thinking.

At the same time, Zhou Shu heard the noise coming from outside the door and immediately patted his face to calm down.

Before Zhou Shu could go out to look, someone knocked on the door: "Miss Zhou, are you up?"

"Aunt Zhang, why is it so noisy? Are there any guests?"

"Miss, the things your husband bought for you have arrived. Do you think it's convenient to come in and help you install them now?"

Aunt Zhang said outside the door, which made Zhou Shu look a little more confused.

"Wait a moment." Zhou Shu changed his clothes before opening the door and looking out.

Aunt Zhang was standing at the door with a few workers, and there was a huge safe behind it. Zhou Shu's mouth twitched, and he was even more puzzled.

"Jin Yan bought it?" Zhou Shu confirmed uncertainly. This was really not like Li Jinyan's behavior.

Why would you buy such a big safe?

"Yes, sir, I bought so many jewelry last time that I had no place to put them, so I bought a safe specifically for you to put the jewelry in."

Zhou Shu almost forgot that the jewelry she brought back from the auction was randomly placed in another room.
