Chapter 40 Tracking

Si Nian went out on an electric scooter.

So as soon as Jiang Sui went out, he hurriedly hailed a taxi and asked the driver to follow him.

When the driver saw this situation, he thought that there must be something going on, as tracking scenes are still happening in modern society.

He immediately asked Jiang Sui out of curiosity, "Girl, are you here to catch someone cheating? Is the guy riding the electric motorcycle in front of you your boyfriend?"

Jiang Sui was a little irritated by the driver's level of gossip.

She said impatiently, "Please drive carefully and don't lose me!"

"Don't worry, girl!"

After saying that, the driver stepped on the accelerator and drove straight forward to chase.

The taxi drove on the main road for about ten minutes and then turned into a village in the city.

The environment in the urban village is a bit dilapidated and old, and even the roads are getting narrower and narrower.

The gossipy driver started to get suspicious again, "Girl, why did your boyfriend and his lover choose this place? It seems they are not strong enough! If they catch them today, we should break up quickly!"

Thank you!

Jiang Sui was almost annoyed to death by this gossipy driver.

But the taxi couldn't go far in the urban village.

Finally, the driver had no choice but to stop the car at the entrance of an alley that looked narrower.

The driver was still a little reluctant, and said regretfully, "Girl, I can only take you here. The car ahead can't go in."

Jiang Sui was afraid that he would lose the person if he stopped for a while, so he immediately took out his mobile phone to scan the code to pay the driver.

She pushed the door and got out of the car. The driver was still shouting in the back to comfort her in advance, "Hey, girl, even if you really get caught, don't be too sad. There are plenty of people with two legs!"

It's so noisy.

Jiang Sui walked quickly along the alley, and before he had gone far, he saw two forks in the road.

She didn't see clearly which road Si Nian turned into.

She just scanned the code, and when she looked up, the person and the scooter were gone.

Jiang Sui stood there in a daze for a while.

No matter which way she went, she had to go in and take a look, just in case she could find it.

So she could only try her luck, picked a road at random, and looked around nearby first.

But this place was like a maze, with residents' illegal constructions everywhere, and Jiang Sui got lost in a short while.

Si Nian couldn't find it, so he went around in circles for several times.

Finally, Jiang Sui had no choice but to catch a passerby and ask him. She wanted to go back to the fork in the road where she came in.

Because she could probably sense that she and Si Nian must have gone in the opposite direction.

After asking several times along the way, Jiang Sui finally returned to the original fork in the road.

This time she didn't stop for a moment and walked straight to another intersection.

Since we are all in a village in the city, the situation here is not much better than before.

After walking for a long time, Jiang Sui didn't even see Si Nian, let alone his little Hei.

Could it be that Si Nian had already left when she took the wrong road and was delayed?

At this moment, Jiang Sui had been wandering around this urban village for two and a half hours.

She was so tired that she could hardly walk anymore, so she squatted on the side of the road to rest for a while.

Jiang Sui was thinking that if she didn't see anyone or a car again, she would ask someone how to get out and take a taxi.

At this time, the familiar low and magnetic voice was heard from the door of a dilapidated low-rise two-story house not far away.

Jiang Sui turned his head to look, and it was indeed Si Nian.

He was turning around and talking to an old man who was standing at the door with a cane.

Jiang Sui was afraid that Si Nian would find her and ask her why she was there. She didn't know how to answer, so she had to step back a few steps and hide behind a low flower wall of a house.

Jiang Sui didn't dare to stand up until he saw Si Nian riding away on his electric scooter.

Jiang Sui stood by the flower wall and looked at the house that Si Nian had just visited for a long time.

She couldn't help but wonder who this old man was and what he had been doing in his family over the years.

"Hey, little girl, what are you doing standing at my door for so long?"

Jiang Sui was startled when he heard the voice behind him unexpectedly.

She turned around immediately to look.

A middle-aged woman was looking at him warily.

Jiang Sui smiled at the visitor somewhat awkwardly and apologized.

"Excuse me, Auntie. I came here to look for someone and got lost. I'm tired so I decided to take a rest here. I'm really sorry to bother you."

The middle-aged woman may have seen that Jiang Sui’s attitude was sincere and his appearance was innocent, and he didn’t look like a bad person at first glance, so she let down her guard.

"Oh, I see. There's a small bench at the door. You can sit there if you're tired."

Jiang Sui was about to decline the middle-aged aunt's kindness when he caught a glimpse of the old man who had just been at the door of the house limping out again and washing something in the sink outside the house.

She couldn't help but turn her head and take a few more glances.

The middle-aged woman also followed her gaze.

"Oh my, this poor old lady Xue! She is so old and has no one to take care of her."

Jiang Sui looked at the middle-aged woman in confusion and asked, "Auntie, does this old lady live alone? Doesn't she have any relatives?"

"Yes, she broke her leg a while ago, and everyone helped to send her to the hospital. Now she can walk again! She is not without relatives. She has a granddaughter who went abroad and hasn't come back for several years. Grandma Xue really raised a little ungrateful wolf!"

The middle-aged woman's tone sounded particularly sympathetic to Grandma Xue, but at the same time, she seemed very angry when she mentioned Grandma Xue's granddaughter.

"The old man has a granddaughter?" Jiang Sui couldn't help but become even more confused.

"That's right! Her granddaughter is so beautiful. Grandma Xue raised her from a very young age. Then she grew up and flew away."

The middle-aged woman gestured to Jiang Sui at her waist and sighed at Grandma Xue's misfortune.

Grandma Xue was widowed at a young age and raised her son alone.

When their son grew up, they finally managed to find a wife after scraping together enough money. However, his wife was infertile, so the couple adopted a little girl.

Life is pretty decent.

But when the little girl was only four or five years old, Grandma Xue's son had an accident on the construction site, and not long after, her daughter-in-law ran away with someone.

Only the grandparents and grandchildren are left to depend on each other.

But when the girl grew up, she began to dislike Grandma Xue because she was old and poor, and she rarely came back after going to college.

"What's even more infuriating is that her granddaughter didn't even get a chance to study abroad three years ago, and she left without even looking back, leaving sick Grandma Xue behind. I don't know what sin Grandma Xue committed in her previous life to raise such an ungrateful person!"

Jiang Sui listened to the middle-aged aunt angrily talking about Grandma Xue's granddaughter, and he couldn't help but start to think about it.

Why did Si Nian know Grandma Xue and rush over after receiving the call?

Grandma Xue has a granddaughter who went abroad to study...

Jiang Sui seemed to have grasped some key information from it.

She immediately asked the middle-aged woman nervously, "Auntie, what is the name of Grandma Xue's granddaughter?"

This question made the middle-aged woman seem to fall into deep thought, and she really couldn't remember it for a moment.

But Jiang Sui couldn't wait any longer, so she asked again, "Is your name Xue Dan?"

After hearing this, the middle-aged woman suddenly understood something and said loudly, "Yes, that's the name."

Jiang Sui's heart sank immediately when he got the affirmation from the middle-aged woman.

It turns out that the rumors in school are true.

Although Jiang Sui still didn't want to believe it was true.

"Why? Little girl, do you know Grandma Xue's granddaughter?"

The middle-aged woman also began to ask Jiang Sui in confusion.

"Oh, I just know her name, I don't know her personally. She is one of my senior sisters, we went to the same university."

Jiang Sui explained to the middle-aged woman seriously.

Finally, the middle-aged woman asked, "So you came here to find her?"

How should Jiang Sui answer this?

She was not here to look for Xue Dan, but she couldn't explain to the middle-aged woman why she was here.

"Hey, Grandma Xue, this little girl is here to look for your daughter."

When Jiang Sui was hesitating about what to say, the middle-aged woman suddenly shouted at Grandma Xue who was still standing by the pool.

Jiang Sui was dumbfounded. The middle-aged lady in front of him seemed to be a little too enthusiastic.

Grandma Xue was already looking towards them.

Jiang Sui had no choice but to bite the bullet and greeted softly, "Hello, Grandma Xue, I am a student at the School of Foreign Languages of Shenyang University."

But Grandma Xue seemed not to have heard anything and was looking at her blankly.

The middle-aged woman reminded Jiang Sui in time.

"Little girl, go over and talk! Grandma Xue is old and her hearing is not very good. She can't hear you if you speak so quietly."

"Oh, thank you!"

After thanking the middle-aged woman, Jiang Sui walked towards Grandma Xue’s house.

Grandma Xue also stood in front of the house waiting for Jiang Sui and did not leave.

Seeing Jiang Sui approaching, she looked at him with some confusion.

"Are you looking for our Xue Dan? She's not at home. She's been abroad for several years and hasn't come back!"

Jiang Sui smiled and said, "Grandma Xue, I wasn't looking for her, I just passed by. I heard that she is your granddaughter, so I came to see you out of curiosity. I am also a student at the School of Foreign Affairs of Shen University."

In order to make it possible for Grandma Xue to hear her clearly, Jiang Sui even raised her voice a little.

When she heard that Jiang Sui was a student of Shen University, Grandma Xue enthusiastically invited Jiang Sui to sit inside.

Jiang Sui couldn't refuse Grandma Xue's sudden enthusiasm, so he had to follow her in.

The room is small, with a small kitchen as soon as you enter, but it is very clean.

Further in is a small room with a bed and a table.

It looks like this is where Grandma Xue lives.

Just as neat and clean.

"Your students from Shenda are all good kids. That, Xiao Si, just left! He's also from Shenda!"

Grandma Xue asked Jiang Sui to sit on an old-fashioned single sofa, and she also sat down beside the bed, and said to Jiang Sui with a smile.

Jiang Sui knew that the Xiao Si that Grandma Xue mentioned was Si Nian. She had just seen him leave from here with her own eyes.

"Does he come here often? The one, Xiao Si?" Jiang Sui couldn't help but start asking Grandma Xue about Si Nian.

"Yes, he came here often this year. Whenever he came, he would help me clean the house and buy me some daily necessities."

Whenever Grandma Xue mentioned Si Nian, there was a smile in the corner of her eyes.

"One year?" Jiang Sui was surprised.

Grandma Xue nodded, "Yes, about a year ago, Xiao Si came to me. At first, he came to ask about my daughter. Maybe he saw that I was a lonely old woman with a hard life, so he often came to see me and help me with some physical work. Gradually, when I had some difficulties, I would ask him for help."

So that's how it is.

"Then do you know why he is looking for Senior Xue?"

Grandma Xue shook her head. "He didn't tell me. He just said they were friends and that he needed to ask her about some things. But my daughter is stubborn. As soon as I told her who was looking for her, she hung up the phone immediately and never answered again."

Jiang Sui thought that Si Nian took care of Grandma Xue like this probably because of her granddaughter.

Listening to Grandma Xue's intermittent talks about her granddaughter and Si Nian, Jiang Sui could vaguely feel that Xue Dan was deliberately avoiding Si Nian.

He couldn't find her.

That's why I found Grandma Xue.

But because he loved Xue Dan deeply, no matter how she treated him, he still took the initiative to assume the responsibility of taking care of Grandma Xue.

Does Si Nian want to wait here for her to come back and change her mind?

Thinking of this, Jiang Sui felt a little depressed and uncomfortable again. She really couldn't stay there any longer. She urgently needed some fresh air to relieve her discomfort.

Jiang Sui made the excuse that it was getting late and that he had some things to do at school. He told Grandma Xue that he would come visit her when he had time, then got up and left.

It turned out that Si Nian rushed out today just to help Grandma Xue.

It was because he loved Grandma Xue so much that he ignored his own injuries and went to take care of Grandma Xue whenever she was called.

As the sky gradually darkened, Jiang Sui walked slowly on the bumpy road in the urban village, looking dazed.

The cell phone vibrated in the pocket of her windbreaker. Jiang Sui took it out and saw that it was Si Nian calling, so she hung up.

She doesn't want to answer anyone's calls yet.
