Chapter 200: White hair on the temples
Uncle Lu finished speaking with relish and then handed the photo back to Jiang Huiyi.
Jiang Huiyi stood there in silence, dazed, neither taking it nor saying anything.
Seeing this, the driver took the photos slowly and asked softly, "Have you seen them again after that?"
Uncle Lu shrugged his shoulders and said, "No! That was their first day in Haicheng, so they took a day out to have fun. After that, they seemed to be busy starting their own business. I never saw them in the park again."
Uncle Lu was obviously quite regretful about this, and his tone was also somewhat regretful: "Later, Haicheng was expanded, and this place was no longer the city center. The flow of people gradually decreased. I couldn't make a living just by taking pictures, so I sold my camera, moved away, and found another way to make a living."
"What happened next? My son died, my wife died, and I had to make do with the money from the government. Some time ago, I saw on the news that the Duan Group bought this place, and I was wondering. This place is so remote, which rich guy would buy it for nothing? So I came here to take a look."
"Then I saw Boss Duan at the park gate. He was standing there alone, in a daze. I recognized him the moment I saw him."
"I went up to him and asked him, 'Aji, time flies so fast, your hair has turned white!'"
"After I said this, he was stunned. His memory was pretty good, he still remembered me. He was stunned for a long time before he managed to say, 'Master, you haven't changed much.'"
"I asked him, why did you come just now? This park is going to be demolished, you are late."
"Guess what? He said, it's not too late, as long as he's here, this place will never be demolished."
"What a big tone! I didn't know he was the boss of Duan Group at that time - strangely enough, I have seen the boss of Duan Group on TV news many times, and never associated him with the young man who asked me to take a photo. But when he stood at the entrance of the park that day, I recognized him at a glance!"
"Later I found out that he was Duan Hongji, your big boss. He bought this place and built a residential area with few people living here. The park was also kept as it was."
"He hired me to guard the gate here and not allow outsiders to come in or out. Of course I am very happy. I can still get a high-paying job at my old age."
"He often comes here and sometimes talks to me, but most of the time he goes straight into the garden without saying a word."
"I'm old and talkative, and sometimes I can't help chatting with him," Mr. Lu recalled. "Then one day I asked him, 'Did you buy a real jade pendant for your wife?'"
"Boss Duan said, no, he forgot."
"What a careless person!" Uncle Lu snorted, "But as a big boss, it's normal for him to be busy. A few days later, he brought his wife to the garden. His wife has taken good care of herself, she is still so young, exactly the same as she was 20 years ago."
Jiang Huiyi's heart trembled.
Since I forgot to buy it for A-Xia, do I have to buy it for Fu Dongshu, the substitute?
It's just...disgusting.
But why, was there endless resentment and jealousy burning in her heart?
Why did she wish that the person who accompanied Duan Hongji into the park was herself?
Jiang Huiyi, ah Jiang Huiyi, have you really become so despicable?
Jiang Huiyi clenched her fists, and her long, pointed nails dug into the palms of her hands.
"Uncle..." Jiang Huiyi forced a smile, "No matter what, I am——"
"Uncle Lu." The driver interrupted Jiang Huiyi, "Did he come here last night?"
"Last night?" Uncle Lu was stunned for a moment. "Who knows? I have to sleep at night. Besides, who would run here so late at night?"
The driver smiled and said, "Okay, thank you, sir."
Jiang Huiyi was suddenly stunned when she heard the driver's laughter.
Perhaps the pain from the tip of her nails made Jiang Huiyi sober up a little. At this moment, Jiang Huiyi suddenly realized who the familiar laughter of this driver belonged to!
"You..." Jiang Huiyi hesitated, her expression filled with fear.
The driver turned around, took off his mask, revealing his handsome face like a god.
Perhaps he was a little hot after standing for a long time, so he took off his hat. His flaxen hair and amber eyes sparkled charmingly under the warm winter sun.
Theodore!
It was Theodore!
"Why, why are you..." Jiang Huiyi was almost frightened and stuttered. She didn't know what to say for a moment.
Why is Theodore here?
"Mrs. Duan, good day." Theodore smiled brightly, revealing a row of white teeth.
Jiang Huiyi was confused. Duan Hongji's adopted son? What was he doing here? And pretending to be a driver?
Jiang Huiyi, a straight-laced woman, certainly would not think of certain reasons. Even when she was secretly watching and eavesdropping on the kiss between Theodore, Duan Hongji and Lina, she firmly believed that Theodore and Lina were a couple, and Duan Hongji was just a part of their play.
So, after seeing Theodore, Jiang Huiyi quickly changed her mind.
Could it be that this person is plotting against me?
Thinking of this possibility, Jiang Huiyi's eyes quickly became alert.
The more Jiang Huiyi thought about it, the more she felt it was possible. The other person was wearing a mask and a hat to cover up his mistake. He was driving very fast and was following her closely...
There is no one living here, and the man next to her is a useless and confused old man who is half buried in the ground. If Theodore really wants to do something to her!
That’s right! When Theodore first met her, he kissed her hand over Duan Hongji!
Jiang Huiyi was so frightened that her heart trembled three times.
It's no wonder that Jiang Huiyi had wild thoughts. An adult man impersonated a driver and even disguised himself, and took Jiang Huiyi to this sparsely populated place. It looked suspicious no matter how you looked at it.
In addition, Theodore is tall and strong, and has a dangerous aura, which makes people feel that he has bad intentions no matter how you look at him.
Although Theodore was also a weirdo, it was obvious that his skills were much less than Jiang Huiyi's. Seeing Jiang Huiyi's frightened eyes, he thought that she had known his thoughts, so he smiled provocatively without disguising it.
This smile had a different meaning in Jiang Huiyi's eyes.
This is tantamount to a signal!
A sign that Theodore is up to no good!
Jiang Huiyi's back was covered in cold sweat, her hands were shaking, and she forced herself to give a decent smile.
After Theodore finished laughing, he turned around and started talking to Uncle Lu again.
Pretend, it's all disguise.
He might be planning to kill Mr. Lu, or do something to lure him away, and then...
Thinking of this, Jiang Huiyi's eyes became fierce.
She seized the opportunity, and while Theodore was still talking to Uncle Lu with his back to her, she suddenly turned around and ran towards the car!
She remembered that the driver left the car key in when he got out! She could just get in and drive away!
No matter what, let’s escape from here first!
Fortunately, because she was moving today, Jiang Huiyi wore flat shoes, so she didn't have to run as hindered by high heels.
Jiang Huiyi opened the car door, sat in the driver's seat, and then quickly locked all the doors!
After doing all this, Jiang Huiyi started the car without hesitation and sped away!
Uncle Lu was chatting with Theodore, and when he saw Jiang Huiyi suddenly run away, he couldn't help but open his eyes wide.
"Hey, hey, hey?" Uncle Lu was shocked and anxious, "Why did she run away?"
Theodore turned around and was also confused.
Why does Duan Hongji's wife always act the way she wants?
But it didn't matter, he already knew almost everything he wanted to know. He didn't care whether Jiang Huiyi was here or not.
Uncle Lu was obviously much more anxious than Theodore: "She, she, she! Jiang... drove away? How are you going to get back? Hurry up and catch up with her!"
Theodore chuckled. "Uncle, why are you more anxious than me? I can take a taxi back later."
"..." Uncle Lu was as anxious as a fully fueled rocket, wishing he could fly out immediately to chase Jiang Huiyi back, "She can't just leave you like this, can she? What happened?"
"Maybe it's because I was irritated." Theodore shrugged humorously, "Don't worry, I don't care."
Uncle Lu: “…”
