Chapter 118: Chapter 117: Su Shu Faces a Difficult Predicament

Su Shu endured the whole night, and on the second day, she brought Xiao’ai back home from Shen Han’s villa.

Finally seeing her Xiao’ai, those deer-like eyes, moist and red.

After finding Xiao’ai, Shen Han intended to have his family driver send them home, but Su Shu refused and hailed a taxi from the roadside to return to her small apartment.

Her private car was left in Peng Village.

Shen Han said, “Let me give you a car for commuting.”

Su Shu still refused.

Her refusal didn’t bother him; that very night, the latest model Porsche sedan was parked under her apartment, causing quite a stir.

Su Shu heard the doorbell, opened the door, and was surprised to find someone delivering her a set of car keys; beyond her astonishment was an uncontrollable distaste and anger.

She returned the keys and asked Shen Han to take them back during a return phone call.

Shen Han’s apology was indifferent, as he tried to make it up to her with a new car.

Please!

She was so busy now that she had no time to quibble with him about these issues, okay?

If they couldn’t come to an agreement, then so be it.

The commuting car she needed wasn’t the kind parked downstairs; she could bear a loss of tens of thousands, even if she might struggle to maintain a car after some time.

With Xiao’ai back, a weight settled in her heart.

After dinner, the TV news continuously broadcasted live updates on the disaster relief situation in the Peng Mountain Region.

After watching for a while, she let out a light sigh.

She had not expected the earthquake situation to be so severe there. By comparison, the state of Peng Village seemed relatively good; their mortality rate wasn’t that high, which wasn’t the case for other areas.

The Apocalypse had arrived, quietly and without warning.

Today, when she went out to pick up Xiao’ai, she also took the opportunity to observe the situation in City C.

The earthquake occurred next door, and although the disaster area tugged at people’s heartstrings, when it didn’t affect them directly, they often remained indifferent.

In malls, restaurants, and on the streets, interactions among people were no different from any other day.

Eat as usual, drink as usual, as the unsheathed blade of death quietly hovered over the city, people below still danced and sang joyfully.

Su Shu cut up some fruit and placed it on the table, the long wooden dining table, where Xiao’ai sat obediently across from her, eating the fruit piece by piece with a fork, with brushes and painting materials by her side.

Su Shu needed to work in the living room and had intended to send Xiao’ai to sleep, but for some reason, ever since Xiao’ai came back, she followed Su Shu wherever she went.

A child without a sense of security was particularly heart-wrenching, and since it was still early, she allowed Xiao’ai to play a little longer.

Su Shu wondered if their separation these past few days had made Xiao’ai think she didn’t want her anymore?

“Xiao’ai, do you want to sleep with Auntie tonight?”

Across from her, Xiao’ai turned her head back, looking at her with some surprise.

“Auntie is sick, right? I’m a little scared sleeping alone. Will you keep me company?”

After a moment, Xiao’ai across from her nodded, a look on her face that said, “All right, I’ll keep you company,” which made Su Shu want to laugh.

The TV in the living room was showing a children’s channel cartoon; Xiao’ai was enjoying her fruit, watching TV, and drawing at the same time, busy and content.

It seemed that as long as she was with her Auntie, whatever she did felt safe.

Meanwhile, Su Shu spread out a piece of paper, intending to sort through the events before and after her trip to Peng Mountain.

Tomorrow morning, she was going to collect her merchandise from the grain store owner.

But it was a problem to get her stuff back, as she suddenly couldn’t enter her space, and she couldn’t just leave the live poultry in the warehouse she rented, right? Wouldn’t they all suffocate to death?

Yet, she couldn’t leave them at the other party’s place for too long either.
