Chapter 530 Talk to me (1)
Shen Yang asked, “So tell me. Where do you want to go? Or rather, how are you planning to stop Boss business? I am also very interested to know.”Lihua smiled. “Take me through the city.”
”Excuse me?”
”Yup. Take me to all the places where you sell drugs and women. I just want to take a tour.”
*Meow*
Qingqing already felt lazy.
This seems to take a long time. Perfect for my nap.
Ruru was excited to go wherever Lihua was going. Jiang Hua kept silent.
Chang Fang cleared his throat. “That will be too tiring for you since you are pregnant. What if Boss gets mad at us?”
”I won’t get tired. I am not a delicate flower. I am just as strong as my sister was,” she proudly said.
Shen Yang shrugged. “Whatever.”
They sat in the car and Shen Yang did nothing but roam the whole Beijing City to places wherever Lihua demanded. He kept a strict eye on her at all times, but true to her word, she showed no signs of an escape.
”Hey! Stay close to me!” Lihua berated the two. “There is a rush here. If you lose sight of me, then don’t accuse me of running away, okay?”
Shen Yang’s face darkened.
You telling me how to do my job?
Ruru stayed beside Lihua the entire time, excited to be outside. He had spent almost all his time at home, so this was nothing less than a picnic to him.
Jiang Hua saw him sticking to Lihua’s side like a koala and couldn’t help but smile. She lowered her head, feeling melancholic.
After a whole day of touring, they came back. Ruru was so exhausted that he was already asleep. Jiang Hua quickly went to Jiang Shan’s side.
Jiang Zhen asked, “What happened?”
Shen Yang reported. “Nothing. She just made us take a tour of Beijing for the entire day. Stopping here and there and sometimes talking to people. Nothing else.”
”That’s it?”
”Yes, Boss. I am also puzzled by just what is going on in her mind.”
”What about you, Chang Fang?”
He sighed. “Ugh. I cannot even explain how tired my feet are. They are throbbing so badly. I hope this crazy tour was just for today.”
But it wasn’t.
Lihua kept making them take her to different parts of the city all over again for the large chunk of the next few days.
Shen Yang was totally frustrated.
What the hell is she doing? I have better things to do.
During this time, he also monitored Chang Fang’s interactions with Lihua, but there was nothing suspicious about it either. He never talked to her apart from nodding his head to her demands.
Then finally, one day, Lihua told them, “Take us to the central park.”
Chang Fang was inwardly jumping in happiness.
Ah. Are my painful days finally over?
They went to the central park as she wanted.
”Ruru, will you help me set this up?”
He beamed and eagerly nodded. There was a huge mat and a board. Ruru insisted on carrying the mat to which she laughed.
Jiang Hua asked, “Can I help with something?”
”Oh nothing. We just have to sit and wait now.”
She was confused.
”Wait for what?”
”For people.”
Ruru spread the mat on the grass and evened out the sides. He hopped over to Lihua’s side. “Done!”
Lihua clapped and ruffled his head. “You did it so nicely! I am proud of you!” She kissed his cheek too.
He blushed and hugged her legs.
Lihua coldly turned her head and said to Shen Yang, “There is a cotton candy shop over there. Bring one for Ruru.”
He glared at her. “You…”
”What? You have a problem feeding your Boss’s son? I think I should let Jiang Zhen know this disrespect.”
His mouth twitched.
”Keep an eye on her,” he said to Chang Fang.
”Of course.”
Shen Yang went away but from the corner of his eyes, he was observing Chang Fang if he would take advantage of this small freedom.
But he didn’t. He simply stood at his place without trying to talk to Lihua at all.
Is he really…
He brought the cotton candy and handed it to Ruru. His eyes sparkled seeing the fluffy pink candy.
”It’s like my friend!” He exclaimed.
Lihua giggled. “I know, right? Your cute teddy bear is just as fluffy as this cotton candy.”
He nodded.
Ruru let Qingqing have a bite first.
That’s good. You should always offer the Queen first.
Lihua dug a small hole in the grass and stuck the board in it. Then she sat on the mat and patted the space beside her Jiang Hua to sit.
”Come, sit here.”
Jiang Hua read what was written on the board.
’Talk to me.’
She frowned.
What does it mean?
Shen Yang wondered.
What is she trying to do?
Lihua waited. People from all ages and jobs passed by her. They saw the board and looked at her suspiciously. Then there were two tall and sturdy guards behind her with stern looks that just further aroused their suspicion.
All in all, everybody just steered away from Lihua.
Lihua turned and waved her hand. “You two. Shoo! Sit over there. It’s because of you that people are not stopping here! You’re gonna ruin my business this way!”
Shen Yang and Chang Fang were dumbfounded.
In the end, they just stayed on a nearby bench and watched her.
Finally, the atmosphere around her eased, but it still didn’t erase the suspicion.
One woman curiously walked over to her. “What are you exactly trying to do here?”
Lihua brightened. “I want to talk to people!”
”Talk? Just talk?”
”Yup. Nothing else.”
”Talk about what?”
”Anything. Whatever you want.”
”Are you forming a cult?”
”…”
”Pfft!” Chang Fang burst into a laughter which he quickly forced to stop as Lihua shot him a glare. Shen Yang just rolled his eyes.
Lihua smiled. “It’s not a cult.”
The woman didn’t want to involve herself further and quickly left.
The whole day passed by with nobody coming to Lihua as she expected.
Jiang Hua consoled her. “D-Don’t worry. Tomorrow will be a good day.”
”It’s okay. I already knew this wouldn’t be so easy. But I hope things will be better tomorrow!” She chirped.
